iT WAS no spasmodic lov

affair, this of Hiram Tuttle and Lucy Finch. That It was no highly romantic affair you may Infer from the names of the principals. If 1 were drawing upon my Imagination and writing a real love story, one that would make the

Justly celebrated affair of I'urls and Helen seem like a business transaction in comparison, then their names would be Hector Montmorency do Ueauvllle and Ixnogenu Tereversham. or something to that effect. Uut this Is elmplj a little story caught in real life Just such an affair as la going on right under your nose and

in your own town at this moment So if you prefer the rhetorical wooing of Hector Montmorency do lieauvllle and the no less rhapsodical counterwooing of Imogene Tereversham. dear reader, read no further. There were Hiram Tuttlo, Lucy Finch, a turkey and a suffrage question. Three of these were tangible In the beginning, although Hector and Luc were a great deal o'.der than the turkey at the start. The suffrage question, I know. Is as old as the bills and bids fair to become as everlasting. In due time the woman's suffrage propaganda reached Mlllvllle. Several prominent suffragists descended upon the town in an automobile, and made speeches from that vehicle right In

the middle of the public square of a

Saturday afternoon. Ten years ago all the women In Mlllvllle would have said that those speakers were man

nish, now they 6ald they were exactly right. Ten years ago all the men In Mlllvllle. bulwarked behind their chews of plug tobacco, would have denounced those Invaders as unwomanly and have classed them with Dr. Mary Walker and Belva Lockwood. Now the men Just chuckled to themselves and said the women ought to have the ballot If they could get it. While these women were speaking. Hiram Tuttle, having came down town to lay In his Sunday supply of bacon, eggs, coffee, flour and other bachelor

provender, round nimseu listening to them-i-and right beside him stood Lucy Finch. Now, do not gather the notion that Hiram was a crabbed old bachelor nor that Lucy was a wizened old maid. Lucy was more than 30 but nowadays a woman who has passed 30 Is Just beginning to be good . looking. Hiram wasn't crabbed at i all; he was pleasant enough but the i way he dressed himself was enough to make any woman wish she had a chance to take hold of him and spruce him up. It is all nonsense to say that woman is Impressed and Influenced by

-vun the men couldn't voto tbea. sc what authority la ho on suffrage?" Naturally, this dispute could not bo ended then and there. Hiram Tuttle found it necessary to atop at Lucy Finch's gate several mornings and bring up some new argument that had occurred to him. only to be effectually squelched by Lucy's wit and wisdom. And from that It became necessary for

him to drop In of evealaga once or twice a week to continue the discus- ; Ion. And, propinquity and acquaint- j ance each having their effect, it was j not long until he. with a man's fore- 1 sight, saw that this debate could not be ended for years, bo he proposed to Lucy. Now. when a man, proposes to a woman he has his eaVa sot for Just one word and that Is "Yes" Therefore imagine Hlraul Tuttle's

Shoveling Snow

The time of the year Is approaching when the averago man begins telling how he used to shovel paths through eight fect of Rnow at four o'clock on mornings when the thermometer registered so far below zero that the luercury rattled around In tho bulb like a mustard seed. That Is the sort of man who will go out the first heavy Bnow and show hla family bow to clean the walks. He will have a nice now dollar snow shovrl sent up from the store, and will begin operations by slipping and falling down the front steps. During his slide several bushels of snow will surreptitiously become inserted between his chlrt and his undershirt How In the name of time It gets there Is a mystery as deep as the cause of the aurora borealls or the production of radium, tiut the fact remains that It gets there.

Tho man will overlook It for the moment, however, and begin tossing reat Bhovelfuls of snow to right and left, and ho will oe working like a steam plow when the old man wio lives up street and wh? lias a bad temper and rheumatism will happen along nod get forty pounds of snow In the face. After the ensuing argument the average man will resume operations.

Ity and by hts back will begin to ache, his neck to be stiff and sore und his

baby will be pounding the window pane with Its sticky fingers anil googoolng gleifuhy. At last, after years and years of lifting and shoveling, the walus will be cleaned, and the man will straighten up painfully and start to the back door when his wife will open the front door and cry: "You left a little bit of snow behind the horseblock, dear!"

Therefore Imagine Hiram Tuttle's Surprise and Astonishment When l.ucy Told Htm "No." surprise and astonishment when Lucy told him "No" And naturally, he asked her why she wouldn't marry him. Men always do that. As if a woman could have a

reason! Uy tue time a raan it-arus that a woman's "No" is merely a preliminary of her "Yes." be Is too old to be Interested in the matter. Also, when a man gets the proposal habit he cannot shake it or break it. So Hiram grew to going around to Lucy's and asking her to marry him, every Wednesday and Sunday even- ( Ing. Lucy enjoyed this. j "I've got a H-pound turkey for my Thanksgiving dinner." Hiram told Lucy on the Sunday evening before the day set apart by the governor to be thankful if you could think of anything to justify such a state ot mind. "Fourteen pounds!" Lucy exclaim

ed. "Why, whatever In the world will you do with all that turkey?" I "I thought I'd fry It and eat It." HI- , ram answered. I "Fry It! Fry a turkey? Well, ot all j things!" j - "Yes. I laid out to fry It and hare , It with some fried potatoes and a pumpkin pie and some baked cranberries for my Thanksgiving dinner." J "Baked cranberries! If that Isn't Just , like a man! Who cooked your Thanksgiving dinner last year?" "I did. I had pork chops and boiled

turnips." "You poor man!" Artful Hlrara! He knew what pity is akin to. Having failed of all other avenues to her heart, he was taking the pity route. The 14-pound turkey was a fiction; so were tho pork chops. Had Lucy exercised her memory she would have recalled that Hiram al

ways went to visit his Aunt Sarah over Thanksgiving. But she could think of only the one thing. So she said: "Hiram. I'll come up to your house Thursday morning and bake that tur-! key for you." ) Lucy couldn't have done a thing like j that where you and I live. That would j have been scandalous. But In Mill-'

ville they are not so fashionable as to confound nelghborllness with suspicious conduct. So on Thanksgiving morning Lucy proceeded to concoct for Hiram one of those Thanksgiving din

Not Going Home He'll not go home this year, alas! to where the old folks are, to gaze

across the withered grass upon tho hills afar; he will not clamber from the train with bosom thrilled with joy, to hear the glad words once against "Ah. welcome home, my boy!"
