An Incendiary Lover.

A blaze was discovered in a Williamsburg letter box and the. contents,, about fifty letters, were charred before the fire was extinguished. It is the opinion of the police that a young man. wrote a proposal of marriage to his girl and then got cold feet and set the boxful of letters on fire to destroy his. own. It was George Ade who wrote this caution to young men, “Tell ’em anything you want, but won’t jyriteletters."—Boston Globe. *
