This privilege Is often denied the bidder,, however, and ho gets well along with his work before the fact dawns upon him that be Is an a losing venture. It Is then too late to go back on the Job, and tbe result Is thnt the party who Is doing the building nnd tbo contractors also nre losers, nnd tills because of the natural Inclination of tbe contractor to shirk In order not to lose any more than bo Is absolutely obliged to In order to got out on the bail dcnl, “These mistakes arc not only disas trous to the parties Immediately con cerned, but to tbo trnilo In general, as by the error of tbe unlucky bidder nn- other worthy contractor Is imiible to get tlio work at reasonable llgures.

And then the old pilot's eyes twin kled nnd bis mouth whistled a crazy tunc. "Well, Iron perhaps?” ."No." "Wbnt In thunder Is she made of. then?" "She’s Maid of the Mist, stranger: Maid of tbe Mist." Then tbo pilot accepted Ills -lornlng dgnr. II. Wnn Very Chnrltnlile. An amusing story Is told In,connec tion with a swell bazaar held a short time ngo.

He doesn’t know him self, let alone knowing a woman. Ho is full of fancies, and it is his boyish nature to flit from one fancy to fin- other. “He is incapable of the affection up on which love is based, because he has not lived long enough to know what the feeling or even the word means. He Is full of theories, each one of which, when he comes to put It Into practice, will fall. He is a boy pure and simple, passing through that try ing period through which every boy must pnss before he becomes ft man. But thnt period Is not tho marrying time. For as his opinions of life are to change, so nre his fancies of the girl ho esteems ns the only girl in the world to make him happy.

There is a wire fence running close by the spot where they were standing, nnd a bolt of lightning was attracted to It and ran along the slender wires until the cows were reached, when it glanced off, striking tbe animals and killing all three instantly.
