Philadelphia Press : "Hotbeds of
flirtation" expresses a very usual opin
ion of co-educational schools. As si
matter of fact it is curious to note the
wide dilTercnco in the relation of the
Boxes that exist indifferent institutions ,
There may or may not bo schools when
the students llirt ; there certainly art
bchools whore it is not at all unusual
for them to fall in love , contract en
gagements , and in duo time get mar
ried. One instance is given whore ai
many as 40 per cent of n certain class
paired oil1 to take life's journey to
gether after passing the preliminary
barriers of deferential and integral
calculus in company , and these mar
riages are said to have turned out well ,
The mingled rivalry and good-fellow-
ehip of the class-room seemed to ylvt
good opportunity for that full anil
fair acquaintance which ought to pre
cede matrimony , bettor opportunities
probably than are offered by tlio more
guarded intorcouruo wich society sanc
tions. Young men and young women
students become good comrades and
they btay good comrades , understand
ing one another thoroughly after thej
have settled down to life's business to
golber. Such cases as these are not
however , typical. A great majority o
the co-educational colleges are mori
nftor the pattern of Boston university
where , as ono might expect , porhape
from the non-marrying reputation o
the Hub , no attachment , no especial 1 ;
intimate intercourse , not the fainton
suspicion of u flirtation between stu
dents of the opposite sexes has bee ;
known since the foundation of tli
bchool. Tlio after-fortune of over ,

Coon , a young republican leader and
lawyer , and there have never been so
many disappointed and blue young men
in this part of the state as to-night. In
every town in which Kellio spoke and
canvassed during her recent campaign
she made scores of admirers. Some of
them became very do voted as the canvass
progressed , and worked like beavers
for her at the polls all day on Tuesday.
Mr. Coon , although a strong Fred
Grant man and republican , was the very
first to offer his services to Miss Cook ,
and thev having been accepted , ho
throw himself heart and soul into her
canvass. Ho gave up his law practice
for nearly a month , and worked day and
night for the fair young candidate. Ho
was her confidential adviser , and there's
no knowing how many nights ho spent
in riding over lonely county roads in
her interest. While there arc several
hundred disappointed young democrats
and some republicans throughout the
country because of Miss Nellie's deter
mination to wed , there is none to dispute
Mr. Cook's claim to recognition and
favor.and everyone hero is offering con-
gratolations. The date of the marriage
ib not yet announced.
A Strniio Story.
Ono day. tit hrcnkfiiht , Archbishop
Whalely told a remarkable felory of u
woman who married , when young , ti tol-
dier. and was wrecked with him on the
coast of India. All the crow and pnssun-
gors were supposed to have been lost ,
except this ono woman and an ofllcor ,
wlio saved her. She was very beauti
ful , and ho educated and married her.
In time hho became a widow , and re
turned to England. IIo had left her all
his inoncv.and bho was well received by
her relations , , being still very charming.
Ono day her maid told her bho was go
ing to be married to a discharged bol-
dior. The mihtrcbs approvcd.nnd asked
to MJO him. When lie was introduced ,
after looking btcadily tit him for some
minuted , bho wont up and fetched a
shawl. "Do you know that bhawlV" bho
a.-kcd. "Yes"ho replied , "I gave it
to my wife when wo wore married. " "I

meant wedding , " and which brought
matters to a crisis immediately.
More shrewd still was the young lady
and more daring who told her ad
mirer that she was a mind reader , and
could read what was going on in his
mind at that moment ; that ho wanted
to propose to her , but did not know how-
to do it , which , of course , relieved the
young man from his enibarrassmontpor-
mancntly.
A very bashful man having succeeded
in winning a wife , nlady relative teased
him to tell her how ho over plucked up
courage enough to propose.
"Now , tell the truth , N , " said she ;
"did not the lady have to do the court
ing for you ? "
"N-no. " answered the
- . gentleman ;
"but 1 own she smoothed over the hard
places forme. "
And this seems to bo the ladies' mis
sion in courtship to binooth over the
hard places.

Now York Sun ; There is a great deal
of fun in every nook and corner of Cor
nell university , New York , just now-
over an incident which occurred hero
this week. At the beginning of every
term an alphabetical list of students is
issued by the registrar , giving the resi
dence of each person enrolled in the
university. Occ.ibionally a mistake is
found in the list. Several days ago ono
of the Sage college ladies , of prepossess
ing appearance , in looking over proofs
of this year's list of students , detected n
slight error in her name , and hastened
to the registrar's olllee to correct it.
"Are ? " the
you engaged just now was
first question asked the registrar , who
was in blissful ignorance of the lady's
mission , and whoso mind evidently was
wandering in matrimonial ehanno'ls.
"No. indeed,1' replied the gallant offi
cial with some little emphasis , his face
at the same time becoming the very em
bodiment of great expectations and
pleasant anticipations of the approach
ing leap year.
"Well , then , I should like to change
my name , " said the fair visitor , witn a
bewitching smile on her face.
"Oh. you wouldl" gasped the young
man , his countenance radient beyond
all expression.
Anil then the young lady undertook to
explain matters more in detail , pinch to
the great discomfiture and mortification
of the assistant , whoso hopes blossomed ,
bloomed , and wore blasted in the short
bpaco of a minute.
An Aged Itrldal Couple.
San Francisco Chronicle : Sirs. A. C.
Freed , a wealthy relict of Dr. Freed of
Kansas City , aged sixty years , and an
octogenarian named Hector McLean ,
engaged in the real estate business ,
eloped a few days ago and were mar
ried in Los Angeles. The woman is
worth about $100,000 and McLean has
nothing. The widow married him
under the belief that ho was wealthy.
Ho gave as a bridal present a $40.000
check , signed by himself , which , it is
needless to say , is worthless. The
couple returned to-day and will go to
housekeeping in the palatial homo of

DID A CURSE REST UPON HIM ?
The Strnngo Tricks Nature Played nt
the Homo of Jas. O. Stevenson.
A FAMILY OF CURIOUS FREAKS.
A Thrcc-IjORRCil I < ninh , a Onc-Karcil
Colt , a Tlircc-llorncd Call' , and a
jCRKCil Hey A Supply
for a Dime Museum.
"Tho old adage that "lightning never
strikes twice in the same place" is at
last disprovcn , providing the story of a
farm laborer named George Evans , who
for the past week has been stayincr at
the St. James hotel in this city , is true.
Evans bears the reputation of honesty ,
and while bis tale is a strange ono ,
there is no reason to doubt its possibil
ity. His story is as follows :
Evans stated last night to a Br.K ro-
uorter that for the past three years he
has been employed by Mr. James Q.
Stevenson , a well-to-do farmer living in
Iowa , about seventeen miles south o :
Council Bluffs. During that time nature
has dealt unkindly with his formoi
employer , and the rules of generation
have been most culpably disobeyed in-
asmucn as no less than four freaks am'
possible candidates for dime iiur-eim
fame , have first drawn breath on his
farm. During the spring of 1885 a laml
was born having only thrco legs. It
was a healthy animal and straightway
became a great favorite with Mr. Steven
son's children and was given tlio ox-
aulted position of the family pet bj
unanimous consent. The animal , now i
full grown sheep , bobbles around on his
two front and ono hind leg in a state o
perpetual enjoyment. Even his wool
uj ) to the present time , has been con
Hidered sacred and ho will not bo
sheared until ho is three years of ago.
During the following summer a grev
mare was delivered of a foal , wcil
formed with the exception that nature
had forgotten to supply her with but
ono car. The hide ono the right side
of the head was as smootly drawn as on
the body and there was no hole to oven
mark the spot where that ear should be.
While this coincidence was the subject
of considerable remark in the neighbor
hood , nothing particular evolved from it
except the giving of a nick-name to Mr.
Stevenson , who to this day is known bv
the sobrioquet of ' ' 01101-111111)011 Steve. "
But the biiper.ititioubly inclined , in the
neighborhood found renewed causedur
ing the following fall , for announcing
their belief that a curse rested upon the
house of Stevenson. This now fire brand
which caused the idiotic wisdom of be
lievers in things supernatural , to loudly
explode and added many now converts
to their ranks , was the birth of u calf
during the spring of the present year
which shortly after developed into u
freak of the first magnitude
by the discovery that it had I
thrco distinct horns. The third i
horn was exactly in the middle of the i
forehead and grow just below the eyes.
After a time the gossip subsided , but a
new impetus was given to scandal
mongers eight weeks ago , to continue |
them in their previous opinions and
openly expressed belief in the interfer
ence of supernatural powers to cause
their neighbor humiliation and suffer
ing. This event was nothing more nor :
less than the birth of a male infant
having but ono leg. The child lived 1
but a few hours and was buried on the
farm. The tongues of the gonsjps wagged I .
furiously , and it was even intimated 1
that Mr. Stevenson was receiving pun
ishment at the hands of God for crimes
committed in the past. Finally ono old 1
tea table gossip felt herself called upon
to inform "Sister Stevenson" that a
curse rested upon the homo ol f
her husband , and so worked upon 1
the fears of the lady , who wiib in : i
a most delicate state of health , as to

Notwithstanding the near approach of win
ter , when deals in realty and building opera
tions arc supposed to cease for a while , the
business in Onmlia continues steady and the
cold weather makes perceptible difference so
far as dickering in dirt is concerned. Of
course , it is to bo expected that there would
bo little or no building done , and yet permits
were issued last week aggregating over
t-50,000.
I Architects and contractors all express the
opinion dint the building operations during
I the year 1S8S will far exceed these of 16b7.
The great trouble this yc.ir has been the
, scarcity of competent workmen. Excellent
wages have been paid and there has been no
!
application from good men to obtain work
refused. Skilled mechanics have boon In
great demand , and there has been an abundance -
ance of work for the common laborer It is
estimated that builders are at least fsoo.OOU
behind their contrats , and work will bo re-
sumcd at the earliest possible day next
spring , If the winter should prove a mild
ono great progress will bo jniuiu during the
season.
The great present need is more small rot-
tages which can bo rented at from f 15 to f25
per month. Such homes arc very scarce and
the attention of invcstois is particularly
called to this fact. The attention of outside
mechanics is. also requested. Let them thor-
oughly investigate the truth of the ubovo
statement and then como to Omaha and make

THE PROVIDENT SAVINGS LIFE INSURANCE CO. , OF NEW YORK.
SHEFARD ROMANS , President.
( Eighteen Years Actuary of Hie Mutual Life Insurance Co. , of JViw J'or/ . ' . , )
Is the only regularly incorporated company in the United States that does a strictly life insurance business unmixed
with investment features ; it is thus enab'ed ' and does furnish life insurance at more lulut f)0 per cent less than it
competitors. The security is unequalled , no company in the world showing as large ratio of assets to liabilities. The
company is endorsed by the leading actuaries in the country , and its popularity is attested by the fact that only foul
of its competitors wrote as large a business in 1880 , three of these do not confine their business to the United State *
