SHOULD WOMEN PROPOSE?
The problem that now is the rage
Is one that is most hard to solve;
Should women, the genUe and sage,
The marital query evolve?
Shou'd moneyed antiques ante up
With requests for a juvenile hand,
And drink of felicity's cup,
Or linger in maidenly band?
The problem I've said is quite hard,
And may cause wealthy dames much
distress,
But if one asks the hand of this bard
She'll receive a shy masculine "Yes!"

The development of the science of
ordnance has greatly Increased the ex
pense of firing guns. Millions of dol
lars' worth of shells and powder were
expended in the, late war. It has been
calculated that any nation which kept
all its guns in action for twenty-four
hours would thereby be reduced to
bankruptcy. This is not only on ac
count of the expense of individual
shots, but because of the great rapidity
with which successive shots can be dis
charged. Leave Chicago every Thursday via
Coloiado and Scenic Route to San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
Southern Route leaves Chicago every
Tuesday via Kansas City, Ft. Worth and
El Paso to Loe Angeles.

WHY EDITORS DUN.
Suppose that a farmer raises 1,000
bushels of wheat a year, and also sella
this to 1,000 persons in all parts of the
country, a great portion of them saying,
"I will hand you a dollar in a short
time," The farmer does not want to be
small, and says, "all right!" Soon the
1,000 bushels are gone, and he has noth
ing to show for it, and he then realizes
that ho has fooled away bis whole crop
and its value is due in a thousand little
driblets, consequently be is seriously
embarrased in business because his
debtors each owing him one dollar, treat
it as a small matter, and think it would
not help much. Continue this kind of
a business year in and year out, as the
publisher does, bow long will he stand
it? A moment's thought will con
vince anyone that an editor has cause
for presistent dunning. From "The
Newspaper Maker," New York, May 4th,
