Rufus J. Turner Prepares
Table of Dangerous
Leap Years.
Rufus J. Turner, who is probably hliuself
flu did bachelor, altho he does not so Indi
cate, has prepared a leap year table, run
ning from 1778 to 1976, giving bachelors past,
present aud future, fair warning.
Mr. Turner almost Weeps when lie recalls
the long period of rest bachelors had from
189G to 1904—eight years free of matrimonial
dangers.
lie describes with evident anguish the ar
rival of 1904, “when the mighty war whoop
of the feminine sex prefaced their charges
on the demoralised, paralysed ranks of
bachelors." Listen to bin swan song:
"Boys, will you capture or be captured,
take the trail to the wilderness or arm
yourself for the fray. You are protected
by n fortress of only a few mroe days,
which old Father Time Is slowly but surely
bntterlug down. Then look out for the aw
ful carnage."
Here Is the “Bachelor aud Old Maid Ta
ble:"
