Love worketh wonders, as hath been said by various wise men before the present writer manipulated the sentence on his typing machine. It is remarkable that the T. P. (meaning the tender passion) should have turned a methodical man’s meth- odichlness to his own undoing, as near ly happened in the case of Mr. George Fcters. Love should have nothing to do with a man during business hours. There ought to be a placard to this ef fect hanging up in all well regulated business houses: ••Clerks in love are requested by be management not to think of he adored object between the tours of nine a. m. and six jv m. enougu wnen you tnink wnat a ma chine a methodical man gets to be— that Peters wrote this epistle to hia girl on his desk and put it In tho pile of let- term that were to bo copied into tho old man’s letter book! 1 Tho office boy picked up the heap at exactly tho nsnal hour, took them to tho copying press, wet tho thin leaves and squeezed them In; the love letter next to the one bo- ginning: No, i that voi should i amnia I did not. 1 told him had always (aught me that I It permit any young man In kin. “That was right, that was ilear.” said the mother cnco “And what did he say to that?’ The girl blushed, hut was u ilauuted. r told me was not to kiss a young man.” The mother liegan to feel that possibly she had omitted a vital link in her instructions. “What did you tell him?” she asked. “I said I didn’t remember it, if you had.” The girl stopped, and the mother broke out: “Well, go on, go on.” “I guess that’s what you heard, mother,” and the daughter waited for the storm to burst. Now George Peters was a very, very methodical person for so young a man. When a letter got into Peters’ hands it went through a certain routine and the answer departed from him to the copy ing book and from the copying book to the envelope and the envelope, letter and all, with inclosures marked, went into tho letter box with a regularity that nothing but the office clock could emulate, and even that, the clerks said, was not as regular as Peters, for they claimed it was always fast in the morn ing and mighty slow in pointing to six It Is little wonder, then, that Peters stood high in the confidence of old man Bentliatn. Hentham was lientham Brothers & Co. There were no broth ers and no company—that was merely tho firm name—it was all Hentliom. Perhaps there oneo were brothers and perhaps there was once a company, but that is all ancient history, anyhow, and has nothing to do with this strictly modern story. And it did not interfere with the fact that old Bentham’s name was a lovely thing to have at the bot tom of a large check. The clerks never speculated on the probable effect of love on Peters, be cause it never occurred to them that such a thing os Peters falling in love was within the bounds of possibility. I*ove, they argued, was not nn article that can bo docketed and ticketed and re ferred back for further information, and entered In the day book and posted on the debit or credit side of a ledger, so what on earth could Peters do with it if he had it?

Dear Sir—Yours of the 23d received and contents noted." Peters got the corner-curled letters, still damp, and put them all in their right envelopes and Sadie got hers in due time, but did not know enough about business correspondence to know that her first love-letter waa written In copying ink and had been through the press. Next day when old man Bentham was looking over tho leaves of the previous day’s letters he suddenly be gan to chuckle to himself. Old Bent- ham had a very comfortable, good-na tured, well-to-do chuckle that was a pleasure to hear. Even Peters almost smiled os he heard it “Peters!” “Yes, sir.” “Have you all the letters, Peters, that these letters are the answers to?” “Certainly, air." “There is one I want to see, Peters." “What is the name, please?” “Petty. I did not know that we dealt in this line of goods, Peters.” “II. W. Petty, sir?" “I don’t know the initials. Here’s tho letter." Peters was stricken. He was ap palled—dumb—blind. The words “Dar ling Petty” danced before his eyes Ha felt his hair beginning to raise. The book did not fall from his hand simply because he held it mechanically—meth odically. Old Bentham roared; then closed the door so that the clerks would not hear his mirth. “That’s ono on you, Peters. It’s too good to keep. 1 must tell that down at the club.” “I wouldn’t if I were you, sir," said Peters, slowly recovering his senses as ho saw the old man had no suspicion how the land lay. “No, 1 suppose it wouldn't be quite the square thing.

Mrs. Dixie Hilliard and Mrs. Ingrm- . ham, of Waltertown, are stopping in the colony. The Rev. Mr. I*«nter, of Waycross, preached a sermon in the pavilion on Sunday morning, and conducted services again in the evening. Mrs. Harper, of Blacksliear, and her daughter, Mbs Pauline, are now residents of the colony. Mis. A. M. Knight is much improved iu health. Mrs. Major Spence and Dr. Spence (outinued on third page. They had in those days “turritts” and “turetts” and “1111118" and “turyte” and “feriats” and “tyrryts” and “toryettes” and “turiotts” and “chyrists,” which were one and the same thing. One church had orders for “joyces" and “rayles” and “nayles” and “bynies” and' “tym- ber” and “gay be Is” and a “pulpyt” and three “payr of stayrs" a liberal supply of y’s.

And who should Peters fall In love with but tho very woman of all others whom he ought never have given a ; thought to—in other words, pretty lit* j tic Miss Sadie Bentham, if you please, j It made Peters himself cold when he thought Of it, for he knew ho had just as much chance of getting the moon or the laureatesliip as the consent of old man Bentham. The clerks always said that it was Miss Sadie who fell in love with Peters, principally, I suppose, be cause she should have known better, and I think myself there is something to be said for that view of the matter. Anyhow, she came to her father's place of business very often and apparently very unnecessarily, but the old man was always pleased to see her, no mat ter how busy he happened to be. At first she rarely looked at Peters, but when she did flash one of those quick glances of hers at hi» poor Peters thought he had the fever and ague. He understood the symptoms later on. 1 don't know liow things came to a climax; neither do the clerks, for that matter, although they pretend to. Be sides, they are divided in their opinions, so I think their collective surmises amount to but very little. Johnson claims that it was done over the tele phone, while Farnam says she came to the office one day when her father was not there and proposed to Peters on tho spot- Ono thing the clerks arc unanimous about, and that Is that Pc- “Oh, romantic, is she? I wouldn’t do i it, Peters.” “There are other reasons.” “Father or mother against, as nsnal, j I suppose. Well, you refer them to me, ! Peters. I’ll apeak a good word for you. But what am I to do while you are ! away?” “1—I thought periapt — perhaps— , Johnson would take my place.” “All right. 1 can put up with John* i son for a week, maybe, but think of me and get back as soon as she’ll let you.” If old Mr. Bentham did not mention it at the club he did at home. “You remember Peters, Sadie.

Ever so much older than 1 am—in man ner, of course. Tho last man in tho city you would suspect of being in love. Well, he wrote”—and so Mr. Bentham told the story.

A well known local minister, who is in the habit of making weekly rails at the armory for the purpose of distributing tracts and words of comfort to hearts bleeding with shame and sorrow, had an experi ence the other day which has fur nished excellent material for a story which he tells with great gusto at the chib. He made a visit to the armory for the prnpose of speaking with some of the inmates.
