Ma teprpetis t tlve Chat huum it Mere Suprise to Find F*e a w eane William Kenrick, a Berkshire gentle. pa f a hundred years ago, left his , which was considerable, to only daughter. This young lady a mind of her own and, finding one of her suialtors to her liking, sim ly determined to wait until the right tleman should come along. It so happened that one day she at tended a wedding at Reading, an ex khange relates, where she met a young gentleman named Benjamin Child. He was a poor attorney. With this hand Mome young man the younger lady fell violently in love, but still she was can ious. She reasoned with herself for ý veral days, trying to shake herself of the sudden passion, but all in vain. Then, feeling that something must be done, but unable, from confu sion of mind, to devise a proper course, bhe took the extraordinary step of pending the young man a letter de manding satisfattlon for alleged In jurles. She appointed a time and place for the hostile meeting. Mr. Child was much surprised, and quite at a loss to conceive who the challenger could be. By the advice of a friend, he decided to go to the dueling place. Here he was met by the young woman, who, much to his surprise, told him he would have to fight her or marry her. He naturally chose the latter, and, as the saying goes, they lived happily ever afterward. FIRST STEAMERS ON LAKES The Ontario and the Frontenao Launched 101 Years Ago, Were Constructed in 1816. The first steamboats on the Great kakes were launched 101 years ago on take Ontario. Two craft operated by steam were constructed in 1816 on the shores of the latter lake, one being the Ontario, built at Sacketts Harbor, tN. Y., and the other the Frontenac, ;which was launched at Ernertown, Canada, on September 7, 1816. The FrontenRc was one of the finest steam boats afloat at that time. It cost $75, 000, and was of 700-tons burden, its length of dedk being 170 feet. The Fronthuac was placed in operation 100 years ago, making three round trips each month from Kingston to York and Niagara. Capt. James McKenzie, who had had experience in the British navy, was placed in command. The Iron tense was in service on Lake Ontario for ten years, and soon had several rivals for the lake trade. A fare of $15 was charged from lngston to Niagara for frst-clas pas sengers, but deck passengers were car ried for $3.75 a head. The treight rate as "4 shillings per barrel bulk." The first steamship on Lake, rie was the Walk-indbe-Water, which was launc.ed at Black Rock, near Buaalo, In 1818. Hew to Keep Your Frlands.

The woman who calls on you perpetually because she has taken a sudden fancy to you Is a blind and sel·a egotist, in a mild way.
