THE VEP.3 “TO LOVE.”
rurougii Jest to Matrimony-How
Soma Wives Were Won.
From tin; Yew York .Yen's.
Marriages are often the result of acei
aeiit. It seems strange, but the most pru
a. nt persons will sometimes conceive an ir
resistible attachment at the suggestion of a
' Vi \ or a look. When once under the spell
,■ tIK . verb “To love,” they go through all
the forms and finish the declension of the
verb before the altar. The few may give
the subject the consideration it deserves,
hut the many, there is reason to fear, are
ridded by impulse.
h -V skipper of a coasting vessel called at
the village inn and asked the landlady, a
vounc widow :
J “Do you know where I can get a mate? I
have lost my mate.”
“I am sorry for you, Mr. ,” she
• ( ; sm iling. “I want a mate too, and can
not tret one. As we are in the same posi-
Son rll tell you what I’ll do; If you’ll be
mine I'll be yours.”
He closed with the bargain, and the widow
keeping to her word, he is now supplied with
, young man at a church bazar was but
ton-holed by a lady; she would not let him
vo until he bought something. He looked at
her stall, which contained fancy work of
various kinds.
“Why ” he said, “I see nothing here that
would he of the least use to me, a bachelor,
except yourself. The rest would be dear to
ine at any price.
••I will be cheap enough,” she said, coax-
“tf you could be dear enough, per
,?q coin e! you are just the person I want,”
taking him by the arm.
She sold him one article after another,
keening up an agreeable conversation the
while and before all was done he had pur
chased everything on the stall. Then, at
settling up, there was something said about
discount. „ , ~
“1 cannot return any money,” she said,
blushing, “but if you think me dear
enough there’s mamma; she may give you
my hand.” ,
The bargain was accordingly concluded.
An eminent doctor, who had saved the
life of a lady, a personal friend, was asked
his charge, fie said he generally allowed
his patient friends to remunerate him as
thev thought befitting.
“Dut don’t you often get disappointed on
these terms?” she inquired.
“I may say, uever.”
“As you are so easily pleased, here,” and
zhe playfully gave him her empty hand,
while in the other was concealed a check for
a handsome sum. “How easily I could have
taken you in!” she added, producing the
! Ch ‘q!ut you have only succeeded in drawing
I me out,” he said, declining to relinquish her
hand. “Don’t insult me with a check; lam
most generously rewarded.”
Perhaps she understood the doctor’s diffi
culty and wished to help him out of it; at
any rate the giving of her hand led him to
offer his heart.
This was how a gentleman got a wife
when, in a tobacconist shop, he asked a girl
behind the counter, who happened to have
red hair, if she would oblige him with a
match.
“With pleasure, if you wall have a red
headed one, ” she promptly replied, with
Such a suggestive, demure smile that event
ually the red-headed match was handed
liver.
A lady with a fine figure having taken a
fanev to a valuable ring which she saw
ticketed in a shop window went inside to
examine it.
“It is exceedingly lovely; I wish it were
mine,” she said, on satisfying herself.
“ What smaller figure could tempt you?”
“No other figure than the figure before
me,” lie said, giving her an admiring look
at the same time. “It is exceedingly
lovely. I wish—l could tempt you with the
ring."
“I think I’ll take it,” she said, laying
down the money amidst blushes.
Of course he accepted the money; but,
getting her address, ne made such good use
of the hint that the next ring which she got
was given by him in church.
A lady in a railway train kept looking out
of the window, with her head forward, un
til she remembered that the gentleman op
posite might possibly object.
“Do I cut off the view?” she asked.-
“Merely of all Ido not wish to see!” he
replied, gallantly.
The ice having been thus broken, they
entered into conversation, found they
were to get out at the same station, and
knew each other’s friends. The rest was
plain sailing into what somebody calls “the
matrimonial haven.”
“Are you married yet, Kitty?” said a
sailor oh meeting an old acquaintance after
returning from a long voyage.
“No, that somebody has never come.”
v "Ah, then, I have brought him after a
deal of bother,” he said, throwing his arms
around her; and the matter was there and
then settled.
This was ingenious enough, like the case
of the theatrical manager who was brought
to the point when he called to inform his
Seat ling actress that he had secured a play at
test which was sure to have a long run.
“What part have you reserved for me?”
she asked.
"You are to be a charming sweetheart, as
you are.”
“Is there a wife in the piece?”
“There is.”
“Then I have done charming sweethearts
till lam tired. I must be a wife in the long
run,”
And sho was.
HIS DREAM DISPELLED.
An American Consul’s Experience in
***• South Sea Islands.
From the San Fmncinco Chronicle.
A consulship sounds very big till you get
th ere. There are innumerable islands in
the South Pacific, and tribes who declare
w r, fight, publish proclamations of defi
ance. and seem altogether extraordinarily
heroic. The United States sent a consul to
one group lately wherein the ideal was
grand, immense. Kneeling subjects in the
shuiio of American citizens, suppliant chiefs
and trembling kings, with all the attendant
gorgeousness and dignity, tilled his mind’s
eye. He “busted” himself on an outfit, laid
in an elegant dress suit, a pair of patent
leather shoes, white ties, wnite gloves and
an enormous diamond pin for his shirt front.
Thus equipped he sailed away with all the
conscious pride of a representative of a grand
republic. From the port lie landed at ho
was conveyed in u small sailing vessel to the
point, of As the ship entered
™ offing, the flag of the United States
eayly flying at the masthead, the white
residents of tlie island came off in a small
boat to welcome him. The new official re
ceived them affably, was quito amiable, and
aid not put on too many airs.
f ‘Come on shore with us and we’ll present
the King,” said the welcomers.
The King! I can’t go up to the palace in
t his dress. My trunks are in the hold. I
can t present myself to the Hing like this.”
% “Oh, come with us; that’s all right. You
tan put on all your finery and call on him
s waiting for you.”
, ” siting for me?”
it a ,!,s: Wl ‘ bolil him the Consul was coming.”
And he’s waiting forme? I don’t know
what to do. I can’t keep his majesty wait
i.’r ?ut 1 can hardly go up in this dress.”
“Oh, that will do. He won’t mind."
. Ajtai they tumbled him into the boat and
took him on shore. If you’ve ever tried to
fyl* out of a boat on a shelving bench you
know how it is yourself. He did it. He
•topped clear into the water and wont roll
. In k Here was a quandary. The residents
gathered the wet. consul up, took him to a
•tore ami got him into a♦ 12 hand-me-down
5P lt t which didn’t fit him. It took a long
tune to argue him into going then. But
, ¥ would have it anil off t hey went.
. “Ook hehe! I don’t feel comfortable at
n “ going up to the palace to nmke my first
“Ppcaranee as consul in this miserable con
itr' '* tho patuce? Are we near
“Quite. There it is.”
He looked and saw a conical mud hut
with two square holes on opposite sides, and
h gentle smoke floated up through the point
of the roof, which was apparently a vent
bole.
“What!”
“That’s the palace. The King and Queen
are in there waiting for you.”
They entered. In the centre, in what
looked like a kind of mire, sat a fat, black,
dignified fellow, whose protection from the
inclemency of the weather was a wisp of
cotton tied around his waist. By his side
sat a small, dark lady of acquiescent, con
tented mien, whose toilet had all fallen
around her waist, too—at least, she hadn’t
any anywhere else.
“Hullo'” said the newcomer in the lan
guage of the country. “Hullo, old chap,
now are you?” Then more politely, “This
is the new Consul from America.”
The new Consul, who had been practicing
his bow ever since his application had been
filed, made an obeisance, when a pig sud
denly ran in by one entrance, skipped be
tween his genuflections, landed him head
flirt in the mire and skipped out by the op
posite hole in the hut. All dignity was out
raged, but the King didn’t mind it nor did
the numerous royal family who lay around
promiscuously without any toilet at all.
“That’s all right, old boy,” said the resi
dent to the embarrassed Consul. “We’ve
got up a ball for you to-niglit and you’ll see
the King and Queen in style there.”
So the Consul got his trunk out, got his
dress snit, his white tie, his white gloves and
his patent-leathers ready and presented him
self at the “hotel” where the ball was to lie.
The hotel was a wooden frame with a mud
roof. The King and Queen entered in grand
style, with a little more toilet of a loose
kind, and the new Consul came in with the
King’s sister, a noble princess, and they all
hal a royal night of it. Before the new
Consul had gone to bed in the morning the
princess royal returned from the palace,
paid him a special call and solicited his
washing. He does not look for any dignity
in his position now. He Is looking for profit.
A man ought to gain something from being
a Consul.
Stories of Criminals.
From the International Record.
We have at the New York State Reforma
tory a casuistry class. One morning the
teacher said:
“Now, boys, I would like to get your
opinion whether, from the standpoint of
moral casuistry, honesty is the best policy,
after all” One of those fellows answered:
“I believe that honest is the best policy,
though lam not an honesty man myself. I
know two fellows in New' York, who used
to be crooks, and were always getting into
trouble, but they reformed and got in luck.
They went over to Philadelphia, and went
into the clothing business, first as clerks, and
they kept right along for eight or nine
years, and finally they got to own an estab
lishment, and people had confidence in them,
and they got credit to the extent of
§300,000, and they got away with the whole
of it.”
When in the Ohio Penitentiary one day,
the wife of a prisoner, an accomplished New
England lady, handsome, cultivated, ir
resistible —to the chaplain, anyhow—solicited
my offices to go with her to the Governor
to ask for his pardon. I had to say to her:
“No, madam, there are a hundred men
here more deserving of a pardon than vour
husband. I will introduce you to the Gov
ernor, but I will not intercede for the pardon
of your husband.” I took the precaution to
go to the Governor in advance, and explain to
ini the situation. She presented a certifi
cate from the prison physician. The Gov
ernor read it slowly:
“Charles AY , convicted, at such a time
and place, of the crime of larceny of a horse
and buggy, is now under conviction for his
first offense, and ho is in imminent danger
of—c-e-r-e-b-r-o—spinal—m-e-n- —menin —
mening-i-t-i-s.” At once he exclaimed:
“Good heavens! has he got all that? Let
him go!” His clerk made out the necessary
papers for the prisoner's release. It required
four men to hold him in the prison hospital,
and four men to take him from the hospital
to the carriage, A half an hour later I found
him lying in lied in the fourth story of a
hotel, having walked up-stairs without any
assistance whatever.
I once had the pleasure of making a visit,
with the Governor of the State of Illinois,
to the penitentiary at Joliet. There was
confined in it at the time a very noted
burglar from the city of Chicago. The Gov
ernor had promised that he would have some
conversation with him in regard to an alibi
which he claimed to be able to prove, and
which would establish his innocence of the
crime of which he had been convicted. I
hail some impression of the character of this
man when I saw- the warden, on sending for
him, open a drawer in his desk, take out a
revolver, and put it in his pocket. The
prisoixfr was brought in and the Governor
listened to the tale of his alibi. At its con -
clusion he inquired:
‘ ‘How- many burglaries have you ever com
mitted?”
“I don’t know, Governor. I never kept
count. I suppose about a hundred.”
“You have been a very bad man.”
“Who says so, Governor?”
The Governor was taken somewhat
aback and answered:
“The newspapers.”
“Why, Governor, I have seen your name
in the newspapers onee or twice. If they
will say such things about a man in your
position, what must be expected of a man in
mine?”
He went on to remark that he need have
no hesitation in granting him a pardon, for,
though he made no professions of repent
ance—it would he absurd to do that —he had
come to the conclusion, while in prison, that
a life of crime does not pay. He had tried
it He had been all his life a burgler, he
had robbed banks, he had had hundreds of
thousands of dollars passthrough his bauds,
and he was just as poor os when he began;
and, having come to that conclusion, ho felt
that the Governor might safely release him,
since he fully meant to quit the business and
follow some other pursuit for a living. But,
in so far as burglary in itself was concerned,
he wished him to understand that he regard
ed it as just as legitimate a vocation in life
as the practice of law—or of medicine—or
the preaching of the Gospel.
The Governor asked:
“How do you make that out?”
“Why, property has certain rights,
powers, and privileges., It must have cor
responding obligations, and the first duty
of property is to iako care of itself. If in a
country neighborhood there are three stores
doing a general business, and there is not
business enough to support more than two
merchants’ families, what happens? Two
of those merchants combine against the
third, and by a judicious application of the
laws of trade, they drive lum but of busi
ness and divert to their own pockets the
profits which he otherwise would have made.
Everybody si vs that is right. Now, what
difference does it make whether this is done
by a judicious use of the laws of trade or by
a more summary process? A\ iiy. Governor,
you know very well that there are a great
many men in this world who are rich who
have no more right to what they have than
you or I.” . , _
“Do I understand,” said the Governor,
“that you confine yourself in your depreda
tions to that class of people?”
“Oh,” he replied, 1 aim to—l aim to.
The last man I robbed was a member of
Congress.”
It is needless to say that the Governor did
not pardon him. He served his term, has
since served a term in the Eastern Peniten
tiary of Pennsylvania, aud is understood
now to be in the Virginia Penitentiary at
Richmond. _

Ready for Use Dry, No Mixing Required
STICKS to the vines and finishes the whole
crop of POTATO BUGS with one applica
tion: also, kills any Curculio and the Cotton
and Tobeqoo Worm.
This is the only safe way to use a Strong Poi
son ; none of the Poison is in a clear state, but
thoroughly combined by [latent process and
machinery, with material to help the very fine
powder to stick to the vines and entice the bUOi
to eat it, and is also a fertilizer.
One Pound will go as far as Ten Pounds St
Plaster and Paris Green as mixed by the farm
ers, is therefore cheaper and saves trouble and
danger of mixing and using the green, which, it
is needless to say, Is dangerous to handle.
Cheaper than any other mixture used tor the
purpose.
Guaranteed more effective than any other
mixture sold for the purpose.
