COURTSHIP (According to Robert W, Chambers) A girl in classical attire is lounging on a bank; She has a million dollars, and is something of a crank. A modish man comes strolling by and asks her for a buss; And, to his joy, she gives him one, after four reams of fuss. He wants the girl to name the day and make it pretty soon. She talks another ream or two and says to-morrow noon. Whereat he hustles back to town and finds a mutual friend Who introduces him to her. Here Chambers writes: The End, —Southwestern's Book, As to Round the World travel— An exclusive atmosphere is assured guests of THE COLYER TOURS COMPANY, 310 BOYLSTON STREET, BOSTOS THEY ALL KNEW HER ‘The mind-reader pressed his hand to his brow and remained silent for nearly five minutes. Then he swept a searching glance over his Bushby audience, and spoke. “There is a person known to every one in this room,” he said, ina slow, impressive tone, “and the thoughts of one man are on her at this moment. She has the characteristic of being generally in a hurry, and usually a little late, She is generous about large things, but rather close in regard to small ones. She will run half a block for a moving street-car, and when it stops she will wait for the neat one. Never has any postage-stamps in the house, and docs not like to make change in a hurry. Now I can- not help believing that there is a man in the room who will know that I can read his thoughts like a book. If he would Kindly rise.” Then, as with one accord, every man but one rose to his feet. “You'll have to speak a little louder for Mr. Howe's benefit,” said one of the men, addressing the mind-reader, whose face wore a peculiar look. “He's deaf, but he'll rise all right if he hears you."—Youth's Companion, Expert Bridge Players prefer “ Rad Bridge” Scores.

"He said that a reporter came wearily into the office and ap- proached the city editor's desk with a disconsolate air, “*Well,! said the city editor, eagerly, ‘what did you find out about Senator Blank’s alleged divorce ?* Nothing,’ said the reporter, No facts whatever ?? Not a single fact.’ Denied everywhere?! Everywhere,” enator deny it?” Yes." Wife, too?" And no rumors?’ Not a blessed rumor.’ The city editor sighed, “*Well! he said, sadly, *keep the story down in that case to three and a half columns.'"—Washington Star, ‘Tae Sovrn rox Hosrrrattty: The Manor, Asheville, North Carolina, is the best inn South —Booklet EMANCIPATED An old colored mammy, of Charleston, S.
