"Miss Laborre,” aald Mr. Askam, att ar they had confidentially discussed a number of topics, “my object in call ing upon you this evening is to consult you about a step I hope soon to take in my life. It is a step upward, and I regard it as the most momentous one I 9ver contemplated. In short, my dear Miss Laborre, I trust soon to' be—to be married." -says the Kansas City World. “Indeed, Mr. Askam!” Miss Laborre said, assuming an indifferent air, but blushing slightly, “and upon what do you wish to consult meT” "Upon several subjects, my dear Min Laborre,” answered Mr. Askam, rising from his chair and seating himself be side her on the sofa. "First, I should like to know whether you consider it is possible for two people to live com fortably on 93,600 a year.” “Oh, yee, Indeed, Mr. Askam,” Miss Laborre replied, quickly. “If two peo ple love each other that is more than enough.” “I am Indeed delighted to hear you say so," said Mr. Askam fervently. Secondly, do you think that you—that your mother and you, after living here together so long, could bear to be sep arated?” It wouldn't bo as though wa really were aeparated, living in the name city, you know, Mr. Askam,” returned Mlea Laborre, thoughtfully. "Tee, I am aura neither of ua would mind It ao very much.” “That's a brave young lady,” cordial-; ly responded Mr. Aakam, patting the back of her hand affectionately, aa It ! lay In her lap, "that’a a brave girl. And, thirdly, do you think a man of 47* my age, Miaa Laborre, too old to get married—especially if there is little, U any, discrepancy In the ageaT” “Oh, oh, you Insulting thing!” •creamed Miaa Laborre, springing to her feet "You know I am not 83.” "Certainly, my dear,” responded the astonished Mr. Aakam, mildly, “cer tainly, but your mother must be nearly as old as i am.” ; "You have been speaking of my mother?” demanded Mias Laborre, tragically. “Of oouras,” said Mr. Aakam, looking bewildered, "I thought It only fair, as you are the bread winner, to consult you first Why, who do you think I meant?" HE HAD TO BE CAREFUL. Or He Weald Be left Oat la the Cold H He Forgot That Password. ! From the Washington Star: “What Is the matter?" asked one of Mr. Vlv vies* boon companions; “you haven't taken the pledge, have you?” “No. But I'm not looking on the wine when It’s red in the cup. Just the same.” “Reformed, have you?” “Yep. You’ve heard of a woman’s marrying a man with the Idea of getting him to stop drinking. It doesn’t always work; but It did in my case. My wife is a stupendously clever woman.” “Made you promise, did she?” “She didn’t have to. When I started down town to-njght she said: ’I’ve lost the latch-key, dear, but it won’t make any difference. You ring the bell and I’ll let you In.’ I said, ’All right’ ’Only,’ she said, ‘we'd better agree on some password, so that when you ring I can look out of the window and nald sure it isn’t a burglar.’ ‘Of course,’saA I; ’what’ll the password be?’ *l have It,’ she answered; ‘It mustn’t be too simple. You Just say “Irrepressible reprehensibillty” and then I’ll come down and let you In.’ Gentlemen, If I can’t say Irrepressible reprehensibillty when I get home I don’t get In, and, moreover. I assume the chances of be ing taken for a housebreaker. I’ve simply got to be careful.” And he went over and resolutely seated himself next ’jo the Ice water tank. Their Imi Qiuk. John Davis, one of the largest cidet makers in Indiana, recently killed thir teen coons under very peculiar circum stances. Mr. Davis' dder mill Is built of wood and stands away from his house. He was awakened during the bight by a noise in tbe mill and upon Investigation found that thirteen coons were on the Inside, drinking cider. Hs fastened the door and locked them in and went to bed. When he got up the next morning he took the coon dog and several hands and began the killing. He found the coons drunk and under going all stages of Jags. The scene was a moat peculiar one. They had rolled the barrels over, whieh had been left open to allow the cider to work. They had then drank themselves full of hard .cider. Opinions on Tract. "It is much harder to examine and Judge than to take up opinions on trust; and therefore the far greatest part of the world borrow from others those which they entertain concerning all the affairs of life and death. Hence it pro ceeds that men are so unanimously eager in the pursuit of things, which, far from having any inherent real good, are varnished o’er with a specious and deceitful gloss, and contain nothing answerable to their appearance. Hence It proceeds on the other hand, that, in those things which are called evils, there is nothing so hard and terrible as the general cry of the world threatens. Thus the multitude has ordained. But the greatest part of their ordinances are abrogated by the wise."—Bolingbroke.

The lecture was forcibly Illustrated by four young women In an athletlo coo tume, who gare a practical exhibition in the art of fencing and showed them ■elves admirably proficient During the course of her remarks Miss Holland ■aid that the peculiar state of society fn Italy during the sixteenth century made fencing a necessary art and -one which they taught to other nations. Fencing is no longer necessary as a means of defense, although there la no measutp of the use a parasol or um brella may become in the hands of an expert fencer on occasions. “I leave you to supply the occasions," the lady added. It is all well enough for the peaceful man to turn his swords Into plowshares, but let him be not un mindful of other warlike weapons or a sklflful thrust or blow from an Inno »#t looking parasol may open his t»oad to a clearer understanding of things. If this sort of female training continues we will have to take from our vocabu lary the time-honored term, “defenae leah women," and lay It away In laven der rose leaves with the other castoffs dear to the age of our grandmothers. ..-•WO •?•!***. « y?v.
