The Newspaper Man. He seldom is handsome or natty, And none of the charms of the dude, la oft more abstracted than chatty, And sometimes unbearably rude. He courts us, then slights us and grieves us. As much as he possibly can; He kisses us, loves us, and leaves us— This perfidious newspaper man. Our mothers won't have him come calling. He’s no earthly good as a “catch;** His morals (they say) are appalling; His finances usually match. He’s rollicking, reckless, uncaring; Lives but for the hour, the day; He’s dangerous, dubious, daring— Not fit for a husband, they say. But, somehow, we girls are forgiving. Perhaps he but needs ua the more. Because he goes wrong in the living. And knows the old world to Its core. So we pass up the dude and the schemer Who lead in society’s van. And cherish the thinker and dreamer Enshrined in the newspaper man. —Blue Pencil Magazine. When we are particularly anxious to annoy Weston at the club we have only to start a discussion on spirit ualism. Sometimes If one of the junior members has to be punished for cheek we tell him tall spiritualis tic yarns and advise him to go to Weston for their verification. This has much the same effect as sending a boy to a saddler to buy strap oil. Not so many years back Weston was an enthusiastic spiritualist him self, attending seances and even writing letters to the local press on the subject. Hut he was cured some what rudely and in a manner likely to make a lasting impression on any man. You see it was this way: About five years ago, when Weston was at the bight of his spiritualistic zeal, a widow with a very pretty daughter, reputed to be worth a small fortuuo of $1,500 a year, took a house on the outskirts of the town. Weston fell head over ears In lovo with Daisy, though, greatly to his chagrin, she scorned to prefer the attentions of a young chap in the office of a firm of solicitors who held the office of clerk to the magistrates. Weston was continually at Miss Daisy about spiritualism and tried to get her mother to bring her to some of his precious seances. But she refused to have anything to do with them, and 1 believe it was this silly fad of his which put her off Weston. Any sane, sensible man, seeing how the ground lay, would have dropped spiritualism and gone In for a little reality—Daisy was worth dropping something for, I can tell you—hut where spirits were concerned Weston was just mad, and Jt only made him more determined to prove to her that his theories about second sight and so on were correct. I remember that winter well. It froze for three weeks on end. Wes ton used to take Daisy out Bkattng on some flooded meadows ncai the sta tion, and things seemed to be coming to a head. He wore his heart quite openly on his sleeve and was ready to lick her shoes for love, but the other chap, who Just at this time came out of his articles and got a partnership In the firm, was making the running pretty hot. There had been a lot of men thrown out of work by the cold weather and some ugly stories were afloat about burglarB, footpads and the liKe. Mrs. Hardy’s little house, away out by Itself, seem ed a sure mark for gentlemen of this sort, and Weston was never tired of warning her to keep the windows bolted, and even Induced her to have a special new lock put on the front door. After the frost we had snow, a fortnight of it, and the whole town got pretty well snowed up. Weston did not seem himself about this time. I remember we remarked upon It at the club. Perhaps his second sight told him some crisis was at hand. Any way. It came. It was one Wed nesday night. There was a concert In the town hall which some of us went to, but the place was so full of draughts that we were glad to get by the Are In the club smoking-room He clashed out just'as he was. at half-time. Maybe we had sat there for ten minutes when we heard some one come running down the road like a madman. We all jumped up and went to the window just in time to see Weston, without an overcoat, and with no hat on, tearing along like a motor car and making far more noise. We guessed something was up, and three of us put on our coats and fol lowed. It was easy to see his foot prints in the newly-fallen snow; there were still a few stray flakes in the air. They made straight for the . Hardys, and we turned the last cor ner Just in time to see Weston extrl eating himself from a large snow heap, so we waited in th* shadow of the wall. But, perhaps, I had bet ter tell the rest of the story as Wes ton recounted It to us afterward. It appears that he was sitting at home (urging the weather, the cold, and the concert, whither Mrs. Hardy and Daisy had been conducted by the rival, when as be dozed in his chair he had a vision. Quite distinctly, he assured us, he saw a lonely little house surrounded with snow and with a glimmer of light shining through the front window, while a roan, jimmy In hand, and carrying over his back a bag of tools, was try ing to force the front door. In a flash he recognized Mrs. Hardy's house—he seemed to hear the metal lic grating of the Jimmy as It wrench ed at the lock and splintered the woodwork—and seeing the hand of Providence offering him a way straight to Daisy’s heart, he dashed out just as he was and never stopped till ho tripped into the snow heap. As soon as he had extricated him self and recovered his breath a little he stealthily approached the house, bending low, as he softly pushed open the garden gate. There was the dim light glimmering out through the blinds of the front room and, yes, there, crouching by the door, jimmy In hand, was the figure of a man. Spurred on by love, Weston was no coward, and, uncoated, unarmed as He was on hit back in the snow, he was, he flung himself upon the burglar, grappling with him fiercely as he loudly called for help. Weston Is a small man,and before you could say “Jack Robinson" he was on his back in the snow with a pair of hands have strangled the life out of him had not the door been suddenly opened from within to disclose the trembling figure of Daisy clinging fearfully to the rival, while from the top of the stairs Mrs. Hardy in bedroom attire made night hideous with her yells. I will draw a veil over the rest. Weston’s antagonist was the local locksmith, called In hurriedly to re pair the patent lock, which had stuck fast and prevented the door being properly shut. A bad headache had kept Mrs. Hardy from the concert, where she would not allow her daugh ter to go unchaperoned, and she had gone to bed early, leaving the young people to their own devices. What with the fright and the cold, Mrs. Hardy was ill In bed for a fortnight, and only got out In time to be present when Weston was convicted of as sault and battery before the local magistrate, for whom the rival was acting as clerk that day. Daisy waB married in the spring, but I think what hit Weston hardest was that when we helped him home on that eventful night it was to find his back door in splinters and every room in the place ransacked. Weston never mentions spiritual ism now.—Gordon Meggy in Chicago Record-Herald. OLD DARKEY WAS PUZZLED. But He Knew It Must Have Been a Political Speech.

The next day a negro who was working for Judge Moon said to him: “Judge, does you know Mistuh Blank, whut lives up ter Chattanooga?" “Oh, yes,” answered the Judge, “1 know him mighty well. Why? What about him?” “Nufiln, suh, ’ceptin’ he made a big speech oveh at Flintstone las’ night.” “Is that so? What was he speak ing about?” "I doan'. hardly know, suh, des whut he was a-speakin’ erbout.” "Well, was it a lecture, a political speech, or what?” “I doan’ know des ’xactly, suh; but I reckon it mus’ a be’n a perliti cal speech, kase he 'bused de white folks a right smaht.” Not So Preusing. “Mehitabel,” said Archibald, "now that we are engaged we should have no secrets from each other, should we, dear?” “No,” replied Mehitabel, after she had assured herself that her moher was not listening in the next room. “Well, then,” he said, “do please tell me just how old you are.” “With pleasure,” said Mehitabel. “But first, Archibald, please tell me just how much you get a week." Archibald pondered. His mind ran ahead into the future. “Forgive me, Mehitabel,” he re sponded, “it was none of my business to ask.” POINTED PARAGRAPHS. - % Pugilists lead a sluggish life.
