IT TAKES MUCH COURAGE TO PROPOSE TO A GIRL
(By Helen Oldfield.) It is queer, come to think about it, but there are a few things more teri rifying to a modest and tender-heart-ed young man than asking the girl of t his heart to wed him. excepting, inI deed, the second part of the transaction, asking papa, which, by the way. it is said, the girl of the period dws much to make easy. The undeniable fact is that most men. when it. comes to the question. "Tell me yea or nay." have their normal courage taxed to the I utmost. It has been said that, as no two no two love in Usually men eat alike, so no two makeprecisely the same manner. the man conforms to the disposition of the woman whom he loves. There

According to the love stories of the day there is a decided fancy for what is known as the indefinite form of proposal, vaguely worded offers, which, when a woman says "No," leave a man free to claim that she has mistaken his meaning. The woman who loves will not need to be told how to" answer her lover's request. Nature will teach, her how best to say "Yes.'' The vacillating woman has no right to allow a man to propose to her and accept him tem porarily because she cannot make up I her mind to tell him the truth. There perhaps, may be cases where a wo - man is justified in accepting a suitor i for whom she only feels sincere liking isjaad respect, provided she la frank1
with him and he is content, hut the woman who says "Yes" merely because she is tired of saying "No." makes a grave mi.-take. for which she is sure to pay dearly later on. "It your yea le yea and your nay nay, for what is more than these cometh of evil." X. Y. World.
PROMINENT GERMAN RESIDENT IS DEAD Fred Blickwedel Expired Sud denly Sunday Morning of Heart Disease. HE WAS WELL KNOWN. HIS PROVERBIAL GOOD NATURE MADE HIM HOSTS OF FRIENDS THROUGHOUT THE CITY SAW SERVICE IN GERMAN ARMY. Fred Blickwt-dcl, one of the best known German rfsident.s of the city, pa-ssed away at bis hoim- Sunday morning at It o'clock as a reHilt of heart disease, from which it is alleged, he suffered with since several years ago. when, as a member of the Richmond police force, he received a terrible beating at the hands of Billy Frick and John Connaughton, who he was attempting to arrest. In tint; fight Blickwedel was badly injured and rendered unfit for service for some time. For several years Blickwedel had been a wagon driver for the Minck Brewing company, and had hosts of friends throughout the city. His sood nature was proverbial and. not withstanding the numerous stories of his experiences, most of them fiction-, ary. related by his friend;., Blickwedel never lost his temper and would laugh at them as heartily as any one elseeven when the story was told of how he was alleged to have taken his own mule, which was straying, and placed it in the pound. Blickwedel worked Saturday night until 1 o'clock and a short time later he retired, apparently enjoying good health. Sunday morning Mrs. Blickwedel awoke h'er husband and asked him if he did not want to go to church. Ho told her that he did not, as his injured foot was paining him. Two hours later. Mrs. Blickwedel returned to his bedroom and was horrified to find him dead in bed. Acting Coroner Wampler was summoned and ho pronounced Blickwedel's death due from natural causes. Fred Blickwedel saw active service in the German, army and was a member of the local German Military society. He came to Richmond in 1SS2. and when thf metropolitan police law went into effect he was appointed to the force, serving four years. Mr. Blickwedel was an active member of St. John's Lutheran church and of the benevolent society of that church. He was a brother to Adolph -Blickwedel, former councilman from the fourth ward. Wednesday afternoon at -o'clock, funeral services will be held at the home, !20 South Xinth street, and at 3 o'clock there will lie services at St. John's Lutheran church, the Rev. A. J. Feeger officiating. Burial at Lutherania. CLYDE BECK IS IN POOR HEALTH May Not Teach at Noblesville Next Year. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beck have returned from a visit to their son Clyde, who is a member of the faculty of the high school at Noblesville. The latter is in poor health as the result of the nervous strain he has undergone j during the school year. His duties ! have necessitated his hearing seven j language recitations daily. Beside this ; work in the class room he has had charge of the athletics and the strain i has told on his health. He will not solicit reappointment unless the Xoi blesville school board will be willing to grant a temporary leave of ab- ' senct. ' While a student at Earlham college : a few years ago young Beck fell in ' the gymnasium and sustaineH injuries ' to his back and hip which have been ; a source of recurrent trouble.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING NO. 13.
By Herbert Kaufman An advertiser must realize that there is a vast difference between AMUSING people and CONVINCING them. It does not pay to be "smart" at the line rate of the average first class daily. I suppose that I could draw the attention of everybody on the street by painting half of my face red and donning a suit of motley. I might have a sincere purpose in wishing TO ATTRACT the crowd, but I would be deluding myself if I mistook the nature of their attention. The new advertiser is especially prone to misjudge between amusing and convincing copy. A humorous picture MAY catch the eyes of EVERY reader, but it won't pay as well as an illustration of SOME PIECE OF MERCHANDISE which will strike the eye of every BUYER. Merchants secure varying results from the same advertising space. The publisher delivers to each THE SAME QUALITY OF READERS, but the advertiser who plants FLIPPANCY in the minds of the community won't attain the benefit that is secured by the merchant who imprints CLINCHING arguments there. Always remember that the advertising sections of newspapers are no different than farming lands. And it is as preposterous to hold the publisher responsible for the outcome of unintelligent copy as it would be unjust to blame the soil for bad seed and poor culture. EVERY ADVERTISER GETS EXACTLY THE SAME NUMBER OF READERS FROM A PUBLISHER AND THE SAME READERS -after that it's up to him the results fluctuate in accordance with the intelligence and the pulling power of the COPY which is inserted.

Spoiled His Appetite. "Well, how are you getting on with your French, my son?" asked the father at supper. "Very well, sir," the lad replied. The father beamed with pleasure. "Ask politely in French, for some peas," he said. There was an awkward pause. "But, father, I don't want any peas." Continued In Our Next. It was in the days before railway?, telephones and telegraph lines had reached the Interior of Pennsylvania, and news traveled slowly. There had been a presidential election, and everybody was anxious to learn the result. A crowd had collected at the postoffice In one of the villages, waiting for the evening mail to come in from a station sixteen miles distant. At last a man emerged from the office with a paper in his hand, and a number of citizens gathered about the man and waited in breathless silence until he had finished reading and bad thrown the paper in the air with a shout of exultation. Then several citizens demanded: "What's the news? Who's elected?" "Elected nothing," replied the man. "Esmeralda Fitzhugh married Reginald Abercrombie after all." Then it was discovered that the man had been reading the concluding chapters of a love plory in a New York weekly. Lippincott's. It Didn't Come Natural. A Russian moujik sat in. the anteroom of the military commission of his town with an anxious frown on his face. A friend approached and said: "What is the matter, Fiotr?" "I am worried," Piotr answered, "about my son. I don't know what to say when the commissioner asks me about his age. You see, if I make hira out younger than he is be will be sent back to school, and if I make him out older they'll stick him in the army. What the deuce am I to do?" "How would it do if you told the commissioner his exact age?" Piotr slapped his leg and laughed delightedly. "Tlie very thing!" he cried. "I nerer thought of that." The Mississippi Way. John Allen waa defending in the house with unusual warmth and vigor the manner of conducting elections in his own state, Mississippi. He waxed eloquent on the subject and was in the midst of a most forceful argument when, noticing looks of incredulity and amusement on the faces of some of his colleagues. John stammered, halted and closed with: "Well well, it is true that we have fair elections in Mississippi, but every election morning just before the polls open we fire o3' a few guns and cancon, just to let the negroes know that it is to be a fair election." ' Her Top Note. During an operatic performance a ,, . . , f well known prima donna burst into her , . , . dressing room and flung herself -, bins on the lounge. Uernuud begged to know what was the matter. After a 1 , , . few incoherent ejaculations the singer told her awful story. She was ap- j proaching the end of an aria and was; exceeding nerseit wnen an or a suciaen a horrid mouse ran right in front of her. "Ah, madam, and you screamed?" asked the maid. Yes. yes: My prospects are forever blighted Just then the maid answered a call hell and reported that the manager's assistant wished to see her. I.et him come," said the singer. "The manager," said the young man, "wants to know whether you ran away j . ' from the curtain call because you were am well.

I.lttle Ituth had been quietly listening to her mother's description of heaven as she patted her big doll's golden head and affectionately pressed it to her breast. Suddenly she turned to her mother and said, "Mother, can dolls go to heaven?" "No, Ruth. Heaven la for people, not for dolls." "Would I hare to leave dollie here if I went to heaven?" "I'm afraid you would, Ruth." "Well, then, mother, when they come for me I'll be very perllte an' say: 'No, thanks, Mr. Angel.' An' then I'll take dollie an' my rockin' chair an go an' sit by th' fire." I.ipplneott's. The Real Miracle. A negro preacher addressed his flock with great earnestness on the subject of "Miracles," as follows: "Mv beloved friends, de greatest of all miracles was 'bout the loaves and fishes. Dey was 5,000 "loaves and 2,000 fishes, and de twelve apostles had to eat 'em all. De miracle is, dey didn't bust" A Child' Advice. The Sunday school was about to be dismissed when the superintendent arose to the disgust of nearly all the children, who thought the session had been long enough, and announced. "And now, children, let me introduce Mr. Smith, who will give us a short talk." Mr. Smith smilingly arose and after gazing impressively around the classroom began with. "I hardly know what to eay," when the whole school was convulsed to hear a small, thin voice back in the rear lisp: "Thay amen and thit down!" Ladles' Home Journal. Fixing the Error. A teacher in a Connecticut district school gave one of her pupjls these two sentences to correct: "The hen has three legs." 'Who done It?" The little fellow looked at his elate a minute and then Berlously wrote: "The hen didn't done it. God done it." Lippineott's. Why They Cried. Two Irishmen who had just landed were eating their dinner in a hotel, when Pat 6pied a bottle of horseradish. Not knowing what it was. he partook of a b.'g mouthful, which brought tears to his eyes. Mike, seeing Pat crying, exclaimed. "Phat be ye crying fer?" Pat, wishing to have Mike fooled also, exclaimed. "I'm crying fer me in Ireland."

Business in the divorce courts seems to be on the increase with the warm wpather. Louise H. Hodson has filed suit for legal separation from Pleasant B. Hodson. It seems as if the defendant has belied his name. The plaintiff alleges he told her to "take her goods and go." This he did and now brings suit on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment and failure to provide. The parties are residents of Cambridge City. Maggie Foster has entered suit for divorce from John Foster. She claims the defendant has deserted her and also fails to provide. The defendant waived personal summons in tho .a-. Indications are that neither cate will be opposed. PECULIAB SITUATION IN DYE-HART CASE Court's Action Must Decide Future of Two. Pending the action of the Randolph circuit court no steps will be taken by the prosecutor in the case of the State ex rc-1 Dye vs. Hart, Proceedings in bastardy have been instituted against Hart, but the fjLse will not hurried owing to the peculiarity of circumstance'. Hart has expressed his willingness to marry th Dye woman, but he is a married man. His wife has taken steps to secure a divorce from him in the Randolph circuit court. The difficulty can be solved for Hart by the court issuing his wife a divorce. If the court refuses, he cannot marry the Dye woman because cf the fact he would be jroecuted for bigamy.
