started out yesterday morning to
see his best girl, living miore than
a dozen miles in the country. Soon
after he left town the liveriintn
received an order for the particular
buggy which the young man had
hired. In order to get the buggy
the liveryman sent a mounted
messenger t tthe place where the
young tman swas a suitor, asking
that he kindly return the buggy.
In the excitement the suitor got in
the buggy and drove bark with the
messenger, arriving in town at 3 p.

marked; "Faith, an' why didn't ye

Old-Timers.

They were a trio of. old-timers,
Phil Shenon came in from Beln
nack, Hugh McQuaid was over
from Helena, and the most natural
thing in the world was that they
should fall in with Geo. W.W. Irvin.
'ro make the party complete the
trio called to their aid a lot of
newspaper men, and Phil ,hanon,
assuming the duty of host, there
was a pleasint hour spent by the
guests. It would occupy columns
to print the reminiscences that
were told in the shape of stories,
but all that were told were his
torically correct and were none the
worse for their copious drauglhts of
champagne, that the happy party
drank to the co:lti nucd health of
1'lhil Shenon and llaniiack.

A templtation to marry h:iw-tily d
and (as events -fien prove) un
wisely is constantly thrown in the ti
way of youllg wonlll by married k
women in their taunts about "old ii
inaids." tl
Young womIin. are led to believe a
that the most dismal failure in ifie e
is not to marry, and if they fail to e
do so the fault must be imputed to
them.
Any one with an intellilgence
above the grade of an idiot ought
to know that a had nmrri:ge is ,
about the most unfortunate thing
which could befall a woman. and I
that it would be infinately better
to remain single than recklessly
marry just for the sake of marrying.
No people ought to know this
better than those who are alru~liy
married, and yet the wom.,n wl:o
are most misclable in that relation
endeavor to goad prudent young
women into prccipitate engage
ments.
A self-respecting umaiden will not
unduly occupy her mind with
thoughts of marriage, and she will
do well at the putset of her career
to observe men with disc.rimination,
and not be betrayed into impru
dence by the foolish chatter of older
wonlaln. She is the bes; ,.ustodian
of her own happiness.
