Buying Legislators in Jobiots. One day, writes Sloane Gordon in Success Magazine, a former member of the Ohio house displayed, inadvertently, a large roll of bills in the Neil house lobby. A fellow member gazed in awe at the show of wealth. "I just sold a drove of hogs,” explained the former member rather hastily and confusedly. The observing one was thoughtful. He did not reply for the half-minute usually essential to the full-measured beat of his mental processes. And then—” “Yaas,” he drawled, “and I’ll bet I’m one o’ them hawgs.” Unfortunate Man.

HER PROPOSAL

By SUSANNE GLENN

The office of the Raymond Brothers’ plant was insufferably hot for the first of July. And the chief accountant’s desk stood in the hottesL*oorner. ' His thin fingers trembled a little and his pale face flushed as he hastened to join the trim little stenographer who waited for him beside her table. “I’m very sorry, but you will have to excuse me tonight,” he said. “I— I have some- w ork that miisjt be finished.” Alice Kilborne looked at him with critical tenderness. “You are not fit to work —all!" she declared with a cheerfulness that did not conceal her anxiety. “You must not work over hours this warm weather. Come home, like a good boy!” Richard Fitzgerald clutched his selfcontrol with grim determination. No one knew how he longed for this girl’s tender solicitude. And yet something in her manner warned him that she did know, and that she was puzzled and wounded by his silence. “Oh, very well,” he said quietly. “I don’t feel just up to night work, for a fact.” At his own desk he put away his papers saying over and over to himself: “I’ve got to make her understand. poor little girl. And I’d better do it now!” No refreshing breeze greeted them as they emerged from the great building, only the oppressive heat reflect ed from pavement and brick walls. As he wondered miserably how to carry out his determination, Fate played into his hand. “Why,” said Alice wonderingly, “did you see that woman who just passed us? It looked like Sadie Waite.” “It is Saide —she is working down . in the silk mills,” answered Fitzgerald grimly. “They have been having trouble.” “OlJ>what?” cried the girl. “Waite gave out about a mwnth ago. He has worked like a machine in that office for ten years, and he couldn’t hold out. Now he is worry01 “What a View This Is.” ing himself to death, and Sadie is working in the mill to keep things going. The poor girl looks like a shadow.” “I’m so sorry!” Alice’s voice had the sympathetic tone he loved in her. “But I am relieved, too. I thought vou meant they had had—other kinds »f trouble. This is bad, you know, but nothing compared to that!” “This is bad enough at any rate,” ieclared the man gloomily, “and it leads to all sorts of other kinds. Do vou suppose love can survive such usage as that?” The girl smiled at him serenely. “Waite ought to* have known better,” said Fitzgerald, looking away from that smile. “He knew two years ago that he was going down hill. He Is like me—unable to stand the close confinement, and too old to start into anything else. He —he ought to have loved her too well to marry her!” Tears blinded Alice Kilborne. So that was the reason he never spoke? Was he going down hill, too? She remembered the trembling of his hand during the tedious afternoon. “Oh, it is time I took him in hand,” she whispered with a smile. For a week Fitzgerald kept strictly away from the little stenographer. Then impelled by her reproachful sadness, he called one breathless ' evening. “I have wanted ypu so much,” said Alice gently “I’ve great news to tell you.” The man’s face showed the fight he was making. “Mr. Raymond had a talk with rye the other day. He says we may both 1 take a vacation until the first of Sep-. tember if—we care to!” “Alice!” He was crushing her hands in a desperate grasp. '“Don’t l —1 (c.nnot trust myself!” “But you can trust me, Dick,” she whispered with a sob.

“Not to look oat for your own good,” he cried. “Do'you think 1 would not have begged you long age to marry me, if I could have taken care of you?” “But you will be all right if you get out in the country and have a rest.” "That I cannot afford, dear child Alice, there is no use in talking—l will not drag you down like this There are too many chances against us!” “Then,” said the girl, “you have put me in an exceedingly embarras sing position!” “I do not understand,” stammered the young man in bewilderment. “Well, you see Mr. Raymond seemed to think we were—had come td an understanding, you know. And I did not deny it! He said you were too valu able a man to lose, and so he suggest ed that we —take the vacation I men tioned, beginning Saturday. I am wondering, what I shall say to him when I go back Monday morning!” ’ Girl, girl! ” he cried, holding her close. “Do you realize what you are doing?” Alice smiled quietly. “But—it can’t be done,” said Rich, ard after a little, all his old doubts returning. “We can go up to grandfather's farm in the hills, Dickie.” “I won’t ‘sponge’ my way on your people, Alice.” “No, no, dear independent boy.” “Or—or let you use your money!” “No, indeed. I shall need it all for new linen.” “And —I simply cannot afford it, myself, Alice. I will not let you go back to the office if you marry me And I shall want you to have a com sortable home. It will take every cent I have, child.” “Listen Dick, trust me just this once!” “I should think ‘this once’ was about all there is of it!” said Richard ■urrAdering, reluctant but happy. A week later, Alice Fitzgerald- sur veyed the old house on the hillside with intense satisfaction. “It is just stuff that was in the old attic, and boxes, Dickie, but I love it,” she said “And the roof doesn’t leak,” de elared this new householder with satisfaction. “And we’ve wood enough ia the shed for our cooking and chilly evenings for a month,” he added, examining his tanned hands tenderly. “And grandfather says the chim ney is safe to use the old fireplace And I’m too perfectly happy for words. You cannot call this ‘sponging.’ The old hpuse has been empty for five years. The wood was rotting on the ground. And we are both beautifully tired getting it all ready.’ “But what now, dear lady? You know I can never consent to loafing round here for six' weeks. Am I to be hired cut to some fanner?” “Dick, it is the most beautiful se cret! I’ve hardly been able to contain it. Come and see.” To the old milk-room she led him. There were crates, piles of quart baskets and some bright new tin buckets. “B's blue-berries. Dickie — the wooas are full of them! Just now these pastures above us are covered with the low bushes which are just ripening, and a little later the high ones will be ready. You’ll find all the work you want. We will ship to Boston and New York; I arranged for some markets before we left the city. We cun have old Jack to carry them to the station.” “Blue-berries!” gasped Richard, in astonishment. “Blue-berries,” laughed Alice, “from daylight until dark. Why man, it is the way r I earned my education!” “It has been a queer kind of honeymoon,” observed Alice one evening as they sat on the worn doorstone on their hillside. “But we have had the honey, that’s the main thing, sweetheart.” “And the moon!” answered Alice flippantly to cover her satisfaction. “What a view this is, Alice. I’d like to see that old office down me, now. All I’ll need to do when I get tired is to close my eyes, draw a dee? breath, and see this -wide old hillside.’' “Always remember to draw twe breaths now,” she askel presently, “that we have cleared a hundred and fifty dollars? And that you are as fit as an athlete?” looking him ovei with extreme satisfaction. “We will come up here every vacation. It s awfully- paying to take a vacation it blue-berry time'!” “Dear child!” He drew her close his cheek against her hair. “I art extremely glad you proposed to me Alice; it’s the best thing that evei happened to me! Seriously, dear, s man doesn't know how lonely- he is without a wife until he gets one. Art they all like you?” “Very much the same, Dick. Don’t you believe now that love can survive hardships?” “But al 1 girls are not like you,” objected he, kissing her tenderly. “No,” Alice sighed contentedly, “they do not all —understand about the blue-berry season, perhaps!” Nothing So Far. An Indianapolis lad of eight wished to go fishing, but his mamma refused to permit him to go near the water. Johnny, nevertheless, slipped out and went to Fall creek, where he fished for an hour or more. On his way home he met a neighbor, who was sun ! prised to see Johnny carrying a fish pole. “Hello, Johnny,” said the neighbor, “Been fishing?” “Yes, sir,” Johnny answered. •V. iat did you catch?” • W-w-why, 1 haven’t been homi yet.” ,

- TROUBLE BEGAN ONCE MORE Husband and Wife, Who Had Just Made Up After Quarrel, Start Again Over Her Shoes. “My dear,” said a wife to her husband, “I know that I am dreadfully cross with you at times, that I am not patient as I should be, and I think the same can be said of you,” “Yes, certainly.” he frankly acknowledged. “I am almost as bad as you are.” “What’s that?” “I —I say that I am just as much to blame as you are.” “I think,” went on the lady, “that we ought to cultivate a mutual toleration of each other’s faults,” and she bent over him and fondly kissed him. “You are not looking well tonight, dear,” he said, stroking her hair. “No,” she replied. “My feet pain me dreadfully.” “That’s because you wear shoes two sizes too small for you.” Then the trouble began once more. For Other Reasons. The absence of witnesses robs the court of appeals of many pleasant interludes, but the lords of justices occasionally supply comic relief. A former president of the court of appeals, delivering a judgment of portentous length, paused for a moment. The judge on his right promptly snapped out, “I agree.” “But you have not yet heard my reasons,” said the president, with a deprecating smile.- The lord justice bowed an apology and listened resignedly for another 20 minutes. When the close really came he had his revenge. “Notwithstanding" I still agree,” was the form in which he expressed concurrence. —London ChflOnicle. She Knew the Game. She was a bright girl and her escort, who was also her intended, was delighted to find how quickly she grasped the points of the game. She got on so well that he ventured a light witticism on the subject. “Baseball reminds me of the household,” he remarked; “there’s the plate, the batter, the fowls, the flies, etc.” “And it reminds me of marriage,” she retorted; “first the diamond where they are engaged, then the struggles and the hits, then the men going out, and finally, the difficulty they have in getting home.” And he sat apd thought and thought. The Green Kind. A naval officer, who has seen considerable service in South American -waters, once brought home two parrots, one of which he gave to the housemaid and the other to the cook. For a long time there ensued animated discussions as to the merits of their respective birds. Finally, the housemaid said: “Your parrot may be a better talker than mine, though I don’t believe it.” Then, with an air of presenting the final clinching argument in her own favor, she added: “Besides, you’ll have to admit that mine has the most beautiful foliage.”—Lippincott’s.

SHE UNDERSTOOD THE GAME One Better Way of Finding O.ut h Man Loves You Than Putting Chestnuts on Hot Stove. It was the dreamy hour after the Christmas dinner, and the girls were talking tn the hushed tones appropri ate to the occasion. “I’ve just heard of a new charm tc tell whether any one loves you, and if so, who it is,” whispered Elsie. “What is U?” queried Sophie, ab sently fingering her new diamonc ring. “Well, you take four or five chestnuts, name each one of them after some man you know and then put them on the stove and the first one that pops is the one that, loves you.” “H’m,” said,Sophie, "I know a bet ter way that that.” “Do you?” “Yes, indeed. By my plan you take one particular man, place him on the sofa in the parlor, sit close to him, with the light a little low, and look into his eyes. And then, if he doesn’t pop you’ll know it’s time to change the man on the sofa.” Easily Answered. “These kids I teach aren’t a bit slow,” observed a school teacher yesterday. “In fact, I’m afraid they read the papers. The other day I proposed the following problem to my arithme ttc class: “A rich man dies and leaves SI,OOO, 000.

WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF HIM Remark by No Means Complimentary Made by Constituent of Representative Underwood. Representative Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee in congress, represents what is known as a “manufacturing district,” because it contains all the factories and smelters in and about Birmingham, Ala. But he also has among his constituents a lot of farmers —of which fact he is now painfully aware. He drove out to a settlement in Bibb coupnty one afternoon to persuade the farmers they ought to vote for him. As he stepped up to the porch of a little store an old man rushed up to him with the request: “Please sign this paper. It’s a petition to Congressman Underwood to have a young lady postmistress here.” “I’d be glad to sign it,” said Underwood politely; “but as I’m not a resilent of this community, my name wouldn’t help.” “Oh, yes, it would,” the old farmer assured him. “We’re getting everybody to sign it, strangers and all. Go ahead and put your name down! That fool congressman will never know the difference!’’—The Sunday Magazine. HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE “I can truthfully say Cutlcura Remedies have cured me of four long years of eczema. About four years ago I noticed some little pimples coming on my little finger, and not giving it any attention, it soon became worse and spread all over my hands, if I would have them in water for a long time, they would burn like fire And large cracks would come. I could lay a pin in them. After using all the salves I could think of, I went to three different doctors, but all did me no good. The only relief I got was scratching. “So after hearing so much about the wonderful Cuticura Remedies, I purchased one complete set, and after »sihg them three days my hands were much bettet. Today my hands are entirely well, one set being all I used.” (Signed) Miss Etta Narber, R. F. D. 2, Bpring Lake, Mich.,''Sept. 26, 1910.

Cement Talk No. 7 i Newspapers print nearly every day the story of some fire disaster involving the complete destruction of great property values and sometimes the loss of human lives. The annual fire losses of tho United States are measured by tho millions; in fact, it is stated that over two hundred and fifty million dollar* worth of property was wiped out by fire in the United States last year. While it is true that the precautions to prevent fire and fire fighting systems are often inadequate, ths main trouble lies in flimsy, non-fireprusfl building construction. Experience has proved that firepropf construction is both practicably andrcOnomical. In some industries fireproof building is compelled by law. concrett has come to the front as the most important agent in building gainst fire. Ths use of cenunt in building is becoming mors and more common, due to its fireproofness, durability and economy.
