[ HOW JACK I THOPOSED "It's no use," enid Jack... throwing himself into my most comfortable easy chair end looking the picture of misery. "It's not a bit of use !" "What isn't?" I asked. "Trying to propose to her." re plied Jock. jfWhy isn't it?" ^Because I, ccn't!" moaned, or rather howled, tho poor boy, sav agely kicking my waste paper bas ket over. "Why can't you?" "The fact is," said Jack, sitting down again and assuming a sepul chral tone, "if I don't bring it off I'll -I'll" ' "What?" "I'll dio of felo-de-se." Here was my dear chum, sU months since the brightest, happiest, merriest fellow in London, deeply in love with a young person called Cia ?y (I don't to this day know her oth er name; Jack never mentioned it), and in the depths of despair because he couldn't "brin? jt off," if I may ?ise his own terse phraseology. We lield conversations of this sort about ?ix times a day on an average, but never before had he threatened to "Ii shall be either by ' pistol or rope," growled Jack hoarsely, and .for the moment I believe he was thoroughly in earnest. I thought I'd try the cynical, man of the world method and scoff him out of his foolishness, so I said : "Fancy being knocked over in this way by a puling girl, a weak, silly creature, who isn't even a new wo man!" Jack was all cn fire in a moment. "She's not a weak, puling, silly creature, and she is a new woman," lie shouted, forgetting for the nonce ?that it is not altogether a desirable thing to be in love with that femi cninenovelty, "So now!" ^Parenthetic Hy I may ask, Why as it that peojf.j always end up de fiances of this kind with those mys tic words, "So now." Why is it?) I "Jack," I said, "write to her." "Splendid idea!" said Jock, who "had been thinking of different ways of proposing for six months and now hailed that pf doing it by post as an ?entirely new and original idea. ""Here goes, and thanks awfully, old chap, for giving me the tip." Seizing quite a quire of note paper Jack scribbled and tore up about a dozen proposals in writing. Then he turned round, almost crying, and ?aid that he couldn't do it that way, and he wouldn't, and he'd hang him self, and perhaps then she'd be sor ry, and-and-andr-why waa he born? "My dear hoy/f I said, laying my nand on his shoulder in the most fatherly way imaginable, "let's talk over the matter quietly. Now, sup ?posQ I propose for you ?" * "No/' said Jack. "She'd think I was afraid to ask her myself and re fuse me on the spot. No. I won't write,, and I won t do it by proxy. Isn't there some ^ other way ? Why ?don't you puggest something, you great, long idiot, instead of sitting there and grinning all night?" Now, I wasn't grinning, and I had been suggesting things all tho time, so naturally I felt much hurt. I therefore curled np and T?BB silent. .For some time Jack smoked sav agely without speaking a word. !Af ter abor t twenty minutes of thia . he laid do wn his pipe and began in a very iipc loge tic tone: "I say." "Well?" . . < "Crn't y?\i think of any other, way of proposing?" ' Wear a flower which means 'I love you.' A pansy or crocus or something. Them ii she wants JQMf she'll wear ono meaning, 'Your sen timents aro reciprocated/ . "Don't think much of that way," . said Jack. "Know any other ?" Now, I have never been in love in my life and never intend to bo, and so I found' it rather hard to give Jack advice. However, ? racked my brains and at length evolved thia startling method: "Propose to her through her fa-, itherj" .. r i "Oh, yon hopeless mass of Im becility! yelled Jack, bouncing up and grabbing his hat. "How am I to do that when she hasn't got a father?" ?\ And he flung himself out of tho room in ? to wering passion and did inot como near me again for quite a meribd. Well, how was I Jo know [thai the wretched girl hadn't a fa rther ? Waa I expected to k??p a register of ali the births* deaths, marriages* ana divorc which occur red in those families which contain* ?d girls Jack was in love with ? Np, ?thank youl I had not quite c?mo ?down to earning my living by being n love register.

Tso need to go on looking for types of matrimonial madness when I had one iu front of me, I thought. "How?" I asked coldly. "How did you do it?" My manner did not damp him in the least. "I did it-this very afternoon, and Til tell you all about it." He eat down close to me, breath ing v?ry hard, and commenced: "You must know that Cissy told mo last night that she was going down to Devonshire today. to Btoy with her aunt. You can Let I felt cut up. Well, after some hesitation, I asked her whether she would al low me to see her off at Padding ton. She demurred a little and then said 'Yes/ You can't think what a pretty way she has of saying 'Yea.' Well-don't be impatient, I'm com ing to it-you may feel pretty sure that I was at Paddington an hour before she drove up. And when she did arrive you can imagine how I looked after her, and got her ticket, and saw that her boxes were labeled, and bought her all the il lustrated papers and a luncheon basket, and told the guard to keep an eye on her, and all that sort oi thing. - "She was so awfully nice that ] almost went crazy when I thought ol her being away for a month, al among a lot of other beggars.

Just t< say 'Goodhy* I got on tho footboan and put my hand in at the window I had said 'Goodby* twelve times al ready, and she looked so pretty am ali that that I suddenly screwed uj my courage and said : " 'Cissy, will you ?' "The guard called out, 'Stan? away, please, there 1' but I kept oj the footboard, and Cissy said: 'Or get off, please. You'll be hurt.' "The train was going faster b this time, but I stuck there an yelled out: 'Will you? W?l you?' "She looked awfuly scared-a' the porters and guards and passen gera were shouting at me by thi time-and said: 'On, do get off.

"I jumped off just as we got ou side the station, fell down, and tv porters snatched, me out of harm way. I gave them a sovereign ea< and took a cab here to tell you aboi it.? "In the event pf her refusing marry you," I said in roy best leg manner, "you will not, be entitled any damages for breach of promu as the defendant's assent was obtai ed under compulsion. .-' But Jack didn't care in the lea for my law.

Thc amount of greeting among or dinary Kaffirs is to say "I see you/' to which answer comes back, "Yes." When a Dative passes a European iii the uncivilized parts of the coun try, says Mr. Dudley Kidd in "The Essential Kaffir," he will frequently anticipate tho white man's "I seo you,".and will start off with a loud "Yes." Of all ways of expressing senti ment, grunting is the favorite, and the Kaffir grunts with great elo quence. His simple grunt can ex press a whole world of sentiment. After hearing natives express so much by grunting one cannot avoid thinking that pigs might learn to speak. Kaffirs have many very expressive exclamations, such es "Yo!" when they wish to show contempt; "Hau!" when they show surprise; "Wow!" and many other similar ut terances. In visiting a chief it is rude to speak first. Accordingly, when we visited a Kaffir king, we sat in silence and prctentcd not to seo him. At length he looked up at us and said, "I see you," and the ice was broken. We grunted approval of the senti ment and sala the proper things. When the questions began to be a little too personal we told our na tive servant to fetch the blanket we had brought with us in order to open the chiefs eyes. When we gave the chief the blan ket he looked at it and gave a grunt which was one of moderate and guarded approval. He felt tho qual ities of the blanket with his fin gera, placed it to his skin to seo how warm it would be; he then showed it to his councilors and asked them blunt ly what they supposed it had cost. When he was satisfied that it was hotter than any kept by local trad era, he gave another grunt of ap froval which plainly said, Thanks ; think that on the wholo it is not bad; I have seen better, but it will do all the same." Then he said in words, "Now my j eyes are open and ? can seo you." In fun I began to chaff him and said, "Well, if you can see us now, will you tell us what yon can see ?" Swift as light came the answer, "I shall know what I seo when the night is cold and I wrap the blanket about my body." A native never commits himself if he can possibly help it. After a lit tle more desultory conversation the chief thought it was time to end tho indaba, "to hem up the fringes of the talk, with the thread made from the sinew of an ox," as their express ive phrase runs. So we hemmed it up. _ Warning to Poor Penmen, There should be no excuse for il legible handwriting, yet there if much of it. A certain Columbus club woman, having a friend who wad an indifferent scribe, attempted tc break her of the halnt in a very nov el manner. Receiving a note from her friend one day which was exceptionally hard to decipher, she conceived the idea of pretending it was an invitation to dine, and accordingly wrote this re ply: "I shall take great pleasure in accepting your invitation to dinner tomorrow evening." A short tims after this note had been delivered the telephone rang, and on answer ing it she recognized the voice of hex friend at the other end of the wire. "Hello I" it said. "You were mistak en in my note. I asked, you if you would subscribe to the 'home' fund." "Oh, was that it?" answered the woman. "I couldn't make out youl note, and I wanted to answer some thing."--Columbus Dispdtch. The Remounts.

If there is any place requiring a cool head it is when one is in a light boat or canoe angling for heavy fish in dwp or swift water. Undue excitement has coat many a life un der such circumstances. A curious example of thc outcome of undue excitement has just been related to me by a friend-in fact, the individual himself. Unfortunately for my friend, al though a man of thirty-five years, yet onlv once previous to this oc casion had he experienced the joys of angling. Business took him up near the pine woods, and between trains, aft er his business had been transacted, he was invited by two of his cus tomers to try tho maskinonge. And off they started, he throwing out his lure and within a few moments get ting a vicious tug at his line which bent his rod and ect his reel screech ing. The tug on tho line, the bend ing of tho rod and the screeching, whirring reel were too much for him, and, giving a spasmodic leap, ho cleared the boat and landed feet first on tho bottom of the lake, that wa3 covered with five feet of water, holding fast meanwhile to the rod. The cool water calmed his nerves at once, and, being a six footer, he .sim ply elevated his chin and arms and in his own fashion began to;,manip ulate the rod and reel. The*fish be gan to leap and run. When he turn ed his head toward the boat to ask for advice as to the proper way to handle thp fish, no ono was to be seen in thc boat. Both his friends had just simply rolled of! their seats and were guffawing with laughter; tho only thing to be seen by him were two corncob pipes that his friends had removed from their mouths and held aloft while they roared with amusement. He landed tho fish. I asked him what it weighed. "It was a maski nonge," he replied, "and weighed two and one-half pounds." "Much ado about nothing," I exclaimed, and I made up the third man who heartily enjoyed the episode.-Cor. Forest and Stream. The Family Spoons. WTiile rummaging through the drawers of a bookcase in her daugh ter's- room in search of some writ ing paper tho other day Mrs. Wim berling came upon a bundle of let ters Aied with a pink string. She untied the bundle and glanced through several of tho letters. Then Bhe picked them up, went downstairs and confronted her daughter. "Eunice," she said, in a high state of indignation, "who is the idiot j that you're corresponding with, I'd like to know? Of all the lovesick balderdash I ever saw this is abso lutely the worst. I shall consider it my duty to report the matter to your father. Who wrote these let ters?" "I am not going to lie to you about them, mamma," said Miss Eunice bravely. "If you will put on your glasses and look at them again you will find that they're a lot of old letters papa wrote to you when you were a girl."-Chicago Tribune. No Diner Out. Miss Graham gave the tramp some food in response to his mov ing appeal, and stood at thoV kitchen door to make sure that ho ate the bread and cold boiled potatoes and did not throw one crumb away. "You have a very awkward way of eating," she said severely, as the knife she had lent him seemed to vanish for a moment down the man's throat and on its way back to the light performed i-trange evo lutions. "Yes, ma'am," said the tramp, as ue made another onslaught on the potato. "You see, I'm kind of out o' practice these days." How, Indeed?

It hud long boon almost a proverb in tho village that Jedediah Perkins "didn't know a chance when ho saw one." The public discussion of this failing had often como to Uncle Jed's cars ami had sounded loudly in thom. Worst of all, he had to ad mit that he was, in tho language of his neighbors, "easy." He paid tho most for what he bought and got the least for what he sold of any man within a dozen miles. But Uncle Jed saw a chance at last. A railway runs closo to his house, and in thc middle of winter during a tremendous snowstorm a passenger train was stalled in the cut through his south pasture and was unable to go forward or back. After it had been there about half a day Uncle Jed saw his chance. There were a hundred or two hun gry passengers eager to buy food. Ile had a largo store of ham and bacon. He would have Aunt Sarah make it up into sandwiches, and they would clear a small fortune. "So that's what we done," said Uncle Jed, telling of it afterward. "We made up every bit of ham in the house iuto sandwiches, and I took 'em down there and offered 'em for sale for a quarter apiece. "Now I cai'lated a man's hungry 's them folks would be willing to pay a quatter for a good, big home made sandwich, but they held back. They was plenty would pay a dime. I could 'a' sold out twicet over at a dime each, but I only sold five at a quarter. "Til wait till they git hungrier/ s's I. I went outside and set on a enow pile and watched them fellers shoveling out that train. Seemed to me they wa'n't like to git the train out before next summer, BO I didn't hurry about going aboard again with them sandwiches. Jes' as I made up my mind it was time, though, along in front come one of them rotating whirligig plows they sent up from the other way, and be fore you could say 'Jack Robinson' away went the train behind it through the cut it made. "Well, sir, as I sat there watching that train hadn't gone more'n 200 yards before I see I had made a great mistake not to sell them sand wiches fer 10 cents. I see it plain as could be. And I'm seeing it yet, for Aunt Sarah and me has been living on ham sandwiches fer three weeks, and they ain't half used up." -Youth's Companion. Almost Called Him a Hog. "Thc late Paul Joseph Blanc, the French artist, studied in i'ome in his youth," said an Ameritar, paint er, "and he was noted in those days for his truculence. "Blanc dined at a students' cafe one evening in Rome, and a young German who sat near him said : " 'It is easy enough to see, sir, that you are a Frenchman.' " 'How so ?' said Blanc, frowning. " 'Because you eat so much bread/ "Blanc did not like this. He re torted : " 'It is easy to see that you are a German/ " *Why ?' asked the other.

"By the way," he said, just before leaving, "my daughter has just started to have a young man calling, and I suppose I should buy them a pretty sofa to make love on."
