Ms -tin r> :"d ??????-*> five and rjie -vr-nilii -t ? luarnea woman in Fremont County, went to the post offlce in the town of Pineville, one June morning to get her mail, the postmaster. Henry Ha-'kins, handed her what seemed to be a strange letter. It was simply a crisp, veil printed circular from a marriage bureau, .n whi-: l the meritorious business of the concern .1 promot ing weddings was set f.o r t h i -i g 1 o w i n n terms. She hastily put the en velope and circular ftjin'c her handbag On her ar rival home she read the c ir c u 1 a ?? again and again, not in g with much inter est all the claims made "Circular from a marri-by the Im age bureau." reau as to how easily and for a small pay ment they introduced tiieir men and women clients to one another, and- how these introductions led a marriages and the establishment of happy homes. "After three days cf grave thoac,i) over ihe wisdom of giving resp nse to the blandishments of the circula., Florence wer.t into the li brary and began a search among tue phott graphs of herself to find one that would do to send to the :-geucy In her lettjr to the bureau Miss Martin abstained from giving muon information concerning the proper ty she owned. On the day after Florence posted the letter, Dick Stevens, f.he town marshal, hapjened to be passing along the sidewalk in front of her home and he stopped to chat with her for few minutes as she trim med some rose bushes near the f. nee. After a week of anxious waiting for an answer to her letter, Flor ence went to the post office one morn, ing and received the expected mis sive. Hurrying home she tore it open, and as she did so, a photo graph fell out. It was the likeness of a handsome mid.ile-aged man, and the accompanying inclosure i stated that thj writer and prospec tive husband ot Floienc would ai rive in Pineville the next day to have a talk with her about the advisa bility of.their being jo'ued in mar rage. Florence almost courted the min utes until the next day when there csme a knock on the door. "I would like to speak to Miss Florence Martin," sa.d the visitor, who, though of prepossessing fac ial appearance, and fairly well dress ed, spoke In a tone of voice which showed unmistakably that he had been indulging in some intoxicating beverage. '"I am Miss Floren 3 Martin." "You. Miss Martin?" the pros pective spouse said huskily as he rose to his feet rather unsteadily. "Why, there must be some joke? say, is this your picture?" and he look Florence's photograph from his coat pocket and thrust it -'.osely up before her ?ace. ' ?> ? "Yes, that is. I had it taken?it was three years ago?1 know I looic cider but-" said Florence in quick, disjointed litt.e exclamations that had anything but a mollifying effect cn her guest. He picked up his hat, went quickly to door and bracing himself against the panel, was a "bold and shameful decep began to upbraid Florence in no nn c srtaln terms for what he declared tion." "I've spent a whole lot of money to come-here!'" he exclaimed in an ?er, "to iiiifl that yor're twenty ytars older than the woman in this | picture. He flung the photograph into the hall and kept up a tirade of abuse until Florence couh' stand il no longer. She vent to the door and tried to close it, but the fellow resisted her efforts. Then as she ?was about to fall from her exciu ment she heard the voice o* .Marsha] Stevens saying. "What ist this man trying to Uo, Miss Martin?" "He insulted me grossly," she cried. ' "Make him get away &t once." The marshal put his hand on the stranger's shoulder and was about to take him to jail when Florence interposed and told the officer to simply take him to the gate and and make him go on about his way. Stevens obeyed her instructions and then returned to .earn of the stranger's business in town. The marshal told her that he was pass ing her home when he heard the an gry voice of th.j man fat the door They talked for ver an hour. When the marshal left the house his face wore a happy luok.

Cab Ahead. One cold, winter morning a man of tall and angular build was walk ing down a steep hill at a quick pace. A piece of ice under the snow caused him to lose control of his feet: e began to slide and was unable to stop. At a crossing half way down he encountered a large heavy wom an. The meeting was sudden and before either realized it( a collis ion ensued, and both were sliding down hill, the thin man underneath, thr fat woman on top. When the bottom was reached and the wom an was trying to recover her breach and her feet, these faint words were borne to her ear: "Pardon me, l adam, but yoli will have to get off here. This is far as 1 go."?Ar gouant. Dry H-iinor. As I rode by a poor hillside farm In Tennessee, one day, i saw a far mer sitting on the fence, chewing a bite of long green very complacent ly. "Good morning,' I said, "how far ,s it to the mill?" " 'Bout three miles in the trXy you've got to go," he replied in a whisper. "Whst's the matter?" I arked,, "have you a cold?" . "No, mister," he whispered again, " 'taint that. It's this year farm. I have Deen livin' On it lor ten years an (he l?n's so dem poor I ham t been able to raise my vjice fer the last five years." Wras Y.illlng to Walt. A criminal, whose day of execu tion had arrived, was asked by his jailer if he had any last favor to n^k.

An Arrangcn ont Kspcciall) Designed for Sewing .Machines. In ordor to overcome one of the most serious drawbacks encountered in the operation ot the sewing ma ci..ne. that of slipping nplts, an ar rangement has been patented recent ly which has some novel features. The pulleys of both rotary shafts are supplied with a series of perip heral pins arranged in two or more NON-SLIPPING MACHINE DRIVE. rows with those of one row dispos ed of intermediate those of the ad jacent row. The flexible belting con necting the pulleys are provided with rows of apertures adapted to receive the rows of peripheral pins. This makes a positive drive which will run easily and at the same time renders slipping positively impossible. Both the belt and frlctional drives are a source of annoyance to ladies operating machines, as they are not usually sufficiently versed in mechan ical matters to keep these parts in order. The Largest Scales. The biggest scales in the country are in ttits navy yard i.i n ;isiiiu0..o.i. They outweigh the largest railway scales by fifty tons. The lattcfr-are not to be sneezed at, for they easily weigh as much as a heavily loaded car. The navy yard scales are so ac curate that they come within a pound of the exact weight. Railway scales are considered good if they come within fifty pounds. All the large ordnance manufactured for the navy is weighed upon this machine, which is some ten years old. The scales look like ordinary hay scales. The delicate mechanism is, invis ible, the most intricate parts being in a broad pit below the ground. The platform is forty-eight feet long and twelve feet wide. Beneath the pow erful machinery is a cement base laid upon long piles. A solid base being one of the prime requisite of a powerful weighing machine, it was found necessary to use a pile driver to secure a stable foundation. The machine is regarded as the finest of its kind in the world, and is a splendid achievement of American ingenuity. In order to show the ac curacy of the scales, an official pick ed up half a brick and tossed it upon the platform. He then consulted a long brass lever, and found that the brick weighed just one pound. The capacity of the scales is one hundred and fifty tons. Two twelve inch guns lying on a forty-eight-foot truck car can be weighed In the ma chine wtihout taxing its capaity. Defenders of Switzerland. The report of the party who went from this country to study the mili tary system of Switzerland will doubtless be unanimous on one point--that we have much to learn from the little republic. From the age of ten all boys go through a cam pulsory physical and gymnastic course until they are sixteen, and after this age for years they have to take up rifle shooting in addition to gymnastic training. Every SwisH from his twentieth to his forty fourth year is liable to military train ing. Very useful work Is .accom plished in Switzerland by rifle clubs, which are encouraged by the State for the purpose of improving marks manship. The population is under three and a half millions, yet there are 3.500 such associations, with over 200,000 members. On this bas is we should have over 2,500,000 members of rifle clubs instead of only 60,000. Paper-Hanging .Machine. A paper-hanging machine is the latest achievement, acording to Wis sen Fer Alle. The arrangement used for this purpose is provided with a rod upon which the roll of paper is placed. A paste receptacle with a brushing arrangement is attached in such a manner that the paste is ap plied automatically on the back of the paper. The end of the wall pap er is fixed at the bottom of the wall and the implement rises on the wall, and only needs to be set by one workingman. While the wall paper unrolls and, provided with paste, is heli! against the wall an elastic roller follows on the outside and presses it firn:!> in plate. When the wall pap er reaches the top the workingman pulls a cord, whereby it is cut oH ? from the remainder of the roll. Mushroom Experts. There are more than 1,000 edible spei it's of the mushroom.
