Thank you, Land of Sunshine. But, while you doubtless tell the truth, there is a partial error regarding that quotation, We did not begin tu use the line, P “While there is Life there’s Hope,” until we were three years old, Then, in cold blood, we hunted it up ourselves, and, as our friend remarks, ‘‘ran it up to the masthead,” where it has been flying ever since, She Was Peculiar. «7 THAVE made love to a good many girls in my life,” said Dashaway, * but the girl I culled on last night is by all odds the most peculiar person that I ever made up to.”* * Wus she peculiar,” questioned Cleverton, ‘* because she would, or she wou'dn't let you make love to her ?” “T had no trouble about making love,” said Dashaway. “ After I called, I went through the usual preliminaries, 1 talked ina breezy Western way for a few moments, led the conversation around to friendship, told of my long search after some one who could respond to my innermost feelings, held ber hand, put my arm around her waist, and after a while just kissed her—not only once, but more. And, my boy, she took It as a duck takes to water, She made nodemurrer. There was no flaw in the title for her. My, but she was as sweet as a peach, and as willing to be truly loved as a petdog! You would have thought she considered it my bounden duty to do just that same thing, and to keep it up about eight hours a day.” ** What's strange about that ?” said Cleverton, “ Almost avy girl can stand being loved, if it's by the right man, That's only a commonplace incident. She's just an ordinary girl.” “So it would seem,” replied Dashaway, calmly, “but wait, About ten o'clock she suddenly jumped up, tearing my scarfpin out of my cravat and sending it flying across the room. ‘Oh, I'm so absent-minded,’ she cried. ‘** What's the matter now ?’ I asked, «Why, do you know,” she replied, ‘Iam engaged to anotber man, and I declare if I hadn't forgotten all about it!’” “That was peculiar,” said Cleverton, girl?” “Miss Peeler.” Cleverton grew thoughtful, at last. Dashaway whistled.» ‘Well, old fellow,” he said, “don't blame me. I didn’t know it.”” “I don't blame you,” said Cleverton, ‘I blame myself. I’m going to break off the engagement at once.” All have charac- ‘enough Americans of the type to support While there's Lire there's hope—let us even hope to bring “Who was the “I'm the man,” he said ‘LIFE “But she was only absent-minded,” said Dashawey. ‘‘ What are you going to do that for?” ‘* Because,” said Cleverton, sadly, ‘I’ve been engaged to that girl three months, and she wouldn’t even let me kiss her. So I'm going to break it off and sce if I can't have the same luck that you've had,” Tom Masson, T is reported in Cleveland—so the newspapers said last week— that a fibrous growth in the joint of Senator Hanna’s knee, with resulting stiffness, will prevent that statesman from serving this year as chairman of the Republican National Committee, Supple- ness of the knee-Joints may be necessary in a committee man who has to raise campaign funds, 80 perhaps Mr, Hanna’s retirement will be necessary; but in a candidate, this year, a flbrous growth, or anything that would induco stiffened knees, might not bo a detriment.
