? _?" ? ? WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1896. A GOOD TIME WHEN TB AVE L LING. Random Leaves From the Con? duct Rule Book of a Frying Size Girl. Wbea travelling on the train, if unaccom? panied by uncomfortable old folk?, there is unlimited opportunity for having lot? of fun. A girl with the proper spirit will see to it that no opportunity is allowed to slip by un embraced. . When leaving the station it is a most ex? cellent introduction to your fellow passen? gers to have one or more, the more the bet? ter, of your young men friends to be on hand to i?ee you off. If you manage cleverly it is an easy matter to induce them to. do so, and to have them come into the car and hang over the seat talking and saying good-byes until the train has started. Here again your sweet-toned voice will be of good service andi will draw attention to you. When your friends have jumped nimbly from the swiftly-moving train you should raise the window and wave your handker? chief to them, and, perhaps, kiss your band, a3 it will not fail to impress your traveling companions that you are a girl that knows a thing or two and not straight laced by con? ventionalities. There is another considera? tion that should not escape your mind aod tbat is the opportunity of making an ac? quaintance afforded by the effort to raise the window. If there is a lovely young man in the car, he will have seen the attention yon' received from your friends and will think that you are justly popular with the boys and will hasten to raise the wiodow for you. When you have finished your adftux to jour friends you should turn to the polite and attentive young mao, and, smiling cor? dially, thank him effusively for his kindness, and, at the same time, make room on the seat beside you by moving closer to the window and arranging your skirts suggestively. If be takes the seat beside you you may be satisfied that he is the right sort and ready :or a good time. When on the train and free from restric? tions much more freedom of manner is per? missible and intimacy with a new acquant ance, whose name you may or may not know, should ripen rapidly. Oa a night journey a manly shoulder is a -most comfort? able resting place for one's head. Besides you will probably never see or hear of the man again. When no yonng man seeks your acquaint? ance by raising the car window for you, or does not embrace the opportunity of sharicg your seat, it will then be necessary to use diplomacy to secure a congenial traveling companion. You gaze languidly down the car, turning around in the seat, if necessary, and let your gaze rest momentarily upon each younz man. A gestle, friendly smile is the proper expression to assume. Should your smile be returned, a mischievous glance or two followed by the slightest wink will be all that is necessary to bring bim to your side. When there are no lively young men on the train one can look out of the window, or get j a book from the Dews boy. Sometimes the news boy is worth cultivating, for he is al? ways talkative and forward, and is some? times passbaly good looking. New and theo you meet one that is just lots of fun. Of course you would not invite one of the crea? tures to call on you, but on the traiD any? thing goes. When traveling two lively girls are much ! more striking and more apt to attract atten- | tion than one. A companion affords the op- j portunity for commenting on the appearance j of other " passengers. When there are no i young men to flirt with it is almost as much fan to make amusing remarks about the rustic i looking frights who will persist in travelling, j The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. G. Guillemette, Druggist, Beaversville, j 111., says : "To Dr. King's New Discovery I j owe my life. Was takeu with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, bu: of j no avail and was given up and tyla I could j not live. Having Dr. King's New Discovery j in my store I sent for a bottle and began its j use and from the first dose began to get better, I and after using three bottles was up aud ! about again. It is worth its weight in gold 1 We won't keep store or house without it. . Get fre3 trial bottle at J. F. W. DeLormc's ; Drug Store. 2 ,---wno?- -^Mw JSncklen's Arnica Salvo.

' A Costly Conviction ftoscce Conkli?g, writes Eli Perkins, ? came roto Charle;- O'Connor's office one j day, when be was a yoting lawyer, m quite a oervous state. "You seem to bo very mach excited, Mr. Conkli?g," said Mr. O'Conner, as Roscoe walked up -and down the room. ? "Yep, I aaa provoked,'' said Mr. ! dookling. "I never had a dion; dissat- j isded about my foe before.''' "Weli, what's the matter?" asked; O'Conner. "Why, I defended Gibbous for ar-1 soo, you know. He was convicted, but j I did bard work for him. ? took hin. to the superior court and he was convict? ed, then on to the supreme court, aud the supreme court confirmed the judg? ment and gave him 1? years. I charged him $3,000, and now Gibbons is grumbling about it-says that it's too mach Now. Mr. O'Connel l ask you, was that too much ?" .'Well/7 said ' O'Conner, very deli? berately, "of course you did a great deal of work, and $3,000 is not a very big fee, but to be frank with yon. Mr. CoDk?Dg, m** deliberate opioioo is that he might have been convicted for less money." He Was Apprehensive. "'Scuse me sub," he said, as he ap? proached one of the attaches of the Smithsonian Institute, says the Wash? ington Star, "bot I wants to ax yob sumfin V "What's the matter ?" was the in? quiry "Are you looking for some? thing to eat ?*' "N'odeed.
