W I affair, this of Hiram Tut-
II tie and Lucy Finch. That) I It wai no highly romantic I m m .
affair you may mier iram the names of the prlncl pals. If I were drawing upon my imagination and writing a real love story, nno that would mako the
Justly celebrated affair of Paris and Helen seem liko a business transaction in comparison, then their names would be Hector Montmorency de Ueauvllle and Imogene Tereveraham, or something to that effect. But thiB Is simply a little story caught In real life Just such an affair as Is going on right under your nose and In your own town at this moment. So If you prefer the rhetorical wooing of Hector Montmorency de Ueauvllle and the no less rhapsodical counterwooing of Imogene Terevershatn. dear reader, read no further. There wero Hiram Tuttle. Lucy , Finch, a turkey and a suffrage ques
tion. Three or these wero tangible In the beginning, although Hector and Lucy were a great deal older than ! the turkey at tho start. The suffrage
question, I know, Is as old as the hills and bids fair to become as everlastlug. In duo time the woman's suffrage propaganda reached Millvllle. Several Dromlnent suffraElsts 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 Millvllle would have said that those speakers were mannish, now they said they were exactly right Ten years ago all the men In Millvllle. 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, fiour and other bachelor provender, found himself listening to them 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 all; he was pleasant enough but the way he dressed himself was enough to make any woman wish she had a ' chance to take hold of hlra and spruco him up. It id all nonsense to say that woman is impressed and Influenced by
even the men couldn't voto then. tc what authority is ho on suffrage?" Naturally, this dlsputo could not bs ended then and there Hlrntn Tuttle found it necessary to stop at Lucy Finch's gale several mornings and bring up some new argumont that had occurred to him. only to be effectually squelched by Lucy's wit Rnd wisdom. And from that it became necessary for him to drop in of evenings once or twice a week tp continue the discussion. And. propinquity and acquaintance each having their effect. It was
not long until he. with a man's foresight, saw that this debate could not 1 be ended for years, so he proposed to Lucy. Now, when a man proposes to a woman he has his ears set for Just one word and that is "Yes." Therefore Imagine Hiram Tuttle's

Shoveling Snow
The time of the year is approaching when the average man beglnB telling how he UBcd to shovel paths through eight feet of snow at four o'clock on mornings when the thermometer registered 0 far below zero that the mercury rattled around In tho bulb like a mustard seed. That Ik the Eort oi man who will go -out tho first hcary snow and show hla family bow to clean the walkB. He will have a nice new dollar anow 8hovcl sent up from tho store, and will begin operations by slipping and falling down the (ront steps. During his slide evcral bushels of Know will surrentl
tiously become Inserted betwovn hla hlrt and his undershirt How In the
t parue of time It gota thero is a mys
tery ns deep as me cause or ine aurora torealls or the production of radium, but tho fact remains that it gets there.
The man will overlook it for tho moment, however, and begin tossing crest shovelfuls of snow to right and left, and he will oe working like a ntcam plow when tho old man wio llvprt up street and whi has a bad temper and rheumatism wilt happen along ac'l et forty pounds of snow in the face. After the ensuing argument tho average man wilt resume operations. Hy and by Uls back will bi gin to ache, bis necK to be stiff and sore und his nrms to feci numb ns tnotign they , had been paralysed Flnce he was ten years of age. Hut he will stick to It, ' for hi wife and children will be watching papa Crotu the window, and the
baby will be pounding tne window j
pane with Its sticky fingers and googooing gle-ifulo'. Ht laat, after years and years of lifting and shoveling, the wal.s will be cleaned, and the mnn 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!"

Not Going Home He'll not go homo this year, alas! to where the old folks are, to gaze across the withered graBs upon tho hills afar; he will not clamber from the train with bosom thrilled with Joy, to hear tho glad words once against "Ah, welcome homo, my boy!" Ah. yes. the old homo stands ioA&t
just as it did of yore, and oftentimes his thoughts will Btray back to the big front door, and he will muse upon the times when he hailed it as home, ero he sojourned in foreign climes oa beat across the fonm. With weary heafl upon hla hands he'll dream about the lane, about the climbing roso whose strands tappod on the window pane; ab6ut the rambling little street that Idled through the town whore often have his boyish feet In gladness hurried down. He'll not CO home this rear. ai.
though the old folks still are there, although the songs of long ago still I echo freo and fair; ho'H cat Thanksgiving dinner here, and not go homo, J nlas. because the 1wb are strict tbl ' year and he can't get a pass.
"Humphl" Sniffed Lucy, "And What Was Paul, Anyway? A Crusty Old Bachelor That Had to Be Struck by Lightning Before He Would Go to Church!" a man's appearance. What attracts her nine times out of ten Ib the possibility of Improving his appearance. So It happened that Hiram and Lucy walked away from tho speaking together, and Hiram found himself, for the first time In five years, talking with a woman. I mean carrying on a conversation. Ho had spoken with plenty of them, but there's a difference. And all tho way up the hill toward Lucy's homo the argument on suffrage grew warmer and warmer until by tho tlmo they parted they um dear enemies on the subJecL Hi
ram was absolutely against woman's RtifTraco. and as a crushing argument
he cited some words of the apostle Paul about woman's place in the scheme of things. "Humph!" sniffed Lucy. "And what was Paul, anyway? A crusty old bachelor that had to be struck by lightning before h would go to church!" "Well, he know a thing or two about women," Hiram argued, stoutly. 'He didn't know anything about them!" Lucy replied, briskly. "If ho had known anything about them he would havo known that It would be women who kept the churches going, nnd did all the work, and that they Acre a great deal better than the uch cvr dared to be. And besides.
Therefore Imagine Hiram Tuttle's Surprise and Astonishment When Lucy Told Him "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! Dy the time a man learns that a woman's "No" Is merely a preliminary of her "Yes." he Is too old to be Interested in the matter.
Also, when a man gets tho proposal habit he cannot shake It or break iL So Hlrnm crew to colnc around to
Lucy's and asking her to marry him. every Wednesday and Sunday evening. Lucy enjoyed this. "I've got a 14-pound turkey for my Thanksgiving dinner," Hiram told Lucy on tho Sunday evening before the day set apart by the governor to be thankful If you could think of anything to Justify such a state of mind. "Fourteen pounds!" Lucy exclaimed. "Why, whatever in the world will you do with all that turkey?" "I thought I'd fry it and eat It." Hiram answered. "Fry It! Fry a tt-rkey? Well, of all things!" "Yes, I laid out to fry it and have it with some fried potatoes and a pumpkin pie and somo baked cranber
ries for my Thanksgiving dinner." "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 Hlranj! He knew what pity Is akin to. Having failed of all other
avenues to her heart, he was taking the pity route. The H-pound turkey was a fiction; eo were the pork chops. Had Lucy exercised her memory she would have recalled that Hiram always went to visit bis 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 turkey for you." Lucy couldn't havo done a thing like that where you and I live. That would have been scandalous. But In Mill
vllle they are not so fashionable as to confound neighborllness with suspicious conduct So on Thanksgiving morning Lucy proceeded to concoct for Hiram one of thoso Thanksgiving dinners you read poems about And when the turkey was done brown and oozing and filling the air with a glorious perfume, she called Hiram to the kitch
en and asked him If It didn't look good. "It does that," he answered. "Um-m-m!" "Well,"' she said, Hrmly shutting tho oven door and planting herself before It, "in four minutes that turkey will be burned to a crisp. Unless you agree right now that women should havo the voto I leave the turkey there and ruin it." Hiram pondered for Just 30 seconds. "I'll acree that woman shall have
the right to vote," ho offered, 'if you'll agree lo marry me." "Wei l l." she sighed, "of course It la for the great cause." But It was tho heat of the oven that mado her faco so red. It must have been ten minutes later that Hiram released her from his arms and anxiously said that the turkey would bo burned after all. "Tho fire was out beforo I called you In," sho confessed. "It won't burn." "Well," Hiram laughed. "I don't have to mako all the rest of the men agree that women shall vote, do I?"
