JACK'S I'JiOPOSAL.
His Employer's Nont Trick Brings
Him to Ilia Sonsos.
The day -was flrawinjf to a clow: anl
in-thu ollioo of Durunt brothers thorc
were -only tr persons, Thouiits
Durant, the senior momlH-r nf the lirm.
and John Crawforsl, the; confidential
clerk.
The former ts:it at a taMe, writing;
the latter stixn!, with his c11mvk on a
winilow-saeih anl his hands mipMrtino;
his chin, watching the psplo pass t
and fro in the btreet.
'Jrtek'" droppod from Mr. Imrant'a
lips a he laid aside his pen,
"Yes, sir." .x,n(', tMO cleric, fa
miliarly known us 'Jac'.:," turning- his
faec toward Mr. Uuruct
"Why don't you pet married'?"'
h h'm, how" was the stammering-
replj-
"Wliy don't you get married?" "Mr.
Durant repeated.
"Keally, 1 have not given the mattci
much coRsideration."
'1 am trrmvinced that marriaeje is ad
visable on the port of any man."
Mr. Durant was a fifty-year-old bach
elor, and Jack ventured:
"1V you intend to renounce sinprle
bleaKednenn'.'' hinilinjf a he spolci.'.
"I may do no liy aud by," Mr. Durant
answered, in a iTi1llosiit tone. "No
one L depentlent upou you for nup
portT' he ntimuL
"I h.tre only myKolf Vi Bupport," said
Jack.
"Your tudary haei enal.le.l ym to lay
by rvomethinf oach your during the live
years you have bon with us?"
"I have about two thousand dollars
at my coramaniL
"Sufficient to lopin housekeeping
with comfortaUy. You would prefer a
home to a boardinjj place?"
"1 shouUL"
"I have no doubt t litre is some younjr
laily whom you incline to rejrinl with
epecial favor'.'" Mr. Durant remarked,
interrogatively.
"I don't know," Jack rejoined,
blushing to the roots of his hair.
"If you entertain such regard for any
lad3" whom you believe to be truly
womanly and to reciprta;ato your kind
ly f.-olinirs, ask her to become your
wife without delay. You will excuse
me for advising- you with reference to
so vital a matter, as I am influenced to
do so by my interest in 3'our welfare,
the interest of a friend rather than an
employer."
'Certainly, and I appreciate your mo
tive." Presently Mr. Ihirant left the ollice
and Jack muttered:
"I verily believo he does intend to
marry, and the woman whose husband
he becomes will have reason to be
thankful, as he is ouo of the noblest men
in the world."
Soon after, passingthe table at which
Mr. Durant had been writing, he saw
upon it a note, which began: "My dear
Miss 1 ten ton," and near it an envelope
addressed: "Miss Alice Iienton. 'i78 W
avenue, City."
As the lady addressed was one whom
he inclined "to regard with special fa
vor,"' whom he really loved with his
whole heart, tho ln-ginning of the mis
sive so aroused his eurio.sitj- that, re
gardless of propriety, ho read it in its
entirety, as follows;
"MY Dkak Mi.hh Hbstox: I shall call "to
morrow evening for your answer to tho iues
tion which I naked you a short time aro, and
trast It will b3 S'ich as to confer upon mo the
Aapplr.css that it atouc can atfurd iue.
"Yours sincerely, Thomas Durant."
Having read it:
"Can it lie that she has lieen receiving
the attention of that curmudgeon old
enough to lc her father?" lie ejaculat
ed, trembling like a leaf. "And can it
laj! that shu has lajen merely aimulating
a love for me?" he continued.
"lie may call upon her to-morrow
evening, but I will see her Ik-fore that
time and come to an understanding
with her."
A few minutes later Mr. Durant re
entered the ollice, saying:
"I forgot to take with me for posting
the im.st important communication
which I had written, doubtless owing
to our interesting discussion."
'Ah:' was Jack's sole response, as
he kept his back toward Mr. Durant,
who. having folded tho missive to Miss
IfentoTj, placed it in the envelop and
scaled it, again went from the oflicc.
That . yt-Jiing Alice J'eutou, a very
pretty youn r Jady, was busily .K-eunied !

when .lack, who sat on a Uk1 at her
fe-t. said:
"How much do you earo for roe?"
"Well, that's a rather ditlieult ques
tion to answer," was the reply.
"Enough to marry .me?" he nervously
asked.
"l'ossildv, if you desired to have xae
do so."
"I hav long loved you. and your con
sent to Ik- my wife will make me the
happiest of men."
"It is yours.
They scaled their engagement with a
kiss and 'then made arrangement-, for
the marriage in the near future.
Tho following morning he said to Mr.
TTxunas Durant:
"J hate acted according tayour ad
vice of yesterday afternoon and shall
be married one month from to-day."
"1 'lease accept my congratulations
and liest wishes for your happinoss,"
Mr, Durunt returned, .grasping his
clerk's hand.
Thank you," returned -Jack, lKking
down.
"I think it is advisable for a newly
married couple to ljegin housekeeping
.as soon sis possible," Mr. Durant ob
served. "I have a very desirable tene
ment on Adams street which is vacant
and you may iceupy it, free of rent, as
long as you wish."
Jack managed to. articulate: "I thank
you," but tho generous olfor from one
whose confidence it seemed to him he
had shamefully abused uuultf him fed
decidedly uncomfortable.
"l'erhaps," he said, after a moment
ary hesitation, "your kindly regard for
lue will cease when you know the name
of my allianced."
"It is Alice llenton, is it not?"
1 I'S
"I think it will be an excellent
match. "
Jack was surprised at Mr. Durant's
words, and presently, with tears of
mortification in his eyes and quivering
lips, confessed to having rcafel the note
which Mr. Durant had written to Miss
Kenton, asked forgiveness for the aut
manly act, adding:
"It was contemptible for are to ask
her to In-come my wife last evening
when I knew that you iutcndod to ask
her to marry you tlus evening."
Mr. Duraut shook with laughter and
then he said, placing his hand on Jack's
shoulder: "Supposedly, everything is
fair in love and war."
"As you have never known," he con
tinuesl, "Alice is my ward; a sister
could not Ik? dearer to me.
"For a long time I have been aware
of her intense love for you and believed
that you fully. reciprtK'ated it. A thor
ough acquaintance with your charac
ter assured me tlial you would made
her a denirable hasbantt, and I planned
to have you propose to her sooner than
you were likely to by reason of your
bash fulness.
"My matrimonial chat yesterday waa
intended to convey to you the impres
sion that I proposed ln-coinin a bene
dict; the note to Alice, which went
from my pocket into the fire, was left
on my table that you might get a
glimpse of it, which would lead you to
road it in full and, having read, to
think her the object of my adoration
and forestall me in securing her f r a
wife.
"I slightly feared that you might sus
jHH't the part I was playing1 as a man
of my years is not likely tw allow such
a missive as the note jipp;ircutly was
to carelessly remain where his 'rival"
can s-- it and yon probably would
have done so but for the excited mental
condition in which you were.
" 'All's well that ends weflL' how
ever." "I thank you for bringing mc to my
se.if-," Jack responded, and he was
prevented from saying anything fur
ther with reference to the matter in
hand by the entrance into the ollice of
the junior meml-er of the firm. De

CONCERNING CHEWINQ GUM.
The) Most of It 'iit!lns l':irafHne Waa.
WhU-lt Is Very Injurious.
The fine distinctions required by legal
definitions frequently threaten confu
sion, even when the f;u-ts appear to lc
IK-rfectly c.eur. There is no room for
doubting the irieonvcnionoe and danrrer
which may arise from the accumulation
of a mass of purufliitc wax in the intes
tines: and yet when any legal interfer
ence with the sale of chewing gum, con
taining fifty per cent, of this substance,
is attcmied, the charming uncertain
ties and quibbles which arise are more
amusing than edifying, says London
Lancet. In a recent prosecution at the
llanley 1m trough jxdice court it was
first contended that the fourteenth sec
tion of the food ami drugs act, which re
lates to the division of the substance in
the presence of the seller at the time of
purchase, had not ln-U orn plied witlu
Then it was submitted that "the article
was not one of foot I, since it was sold
.imply for chewing. Then it was sug
gested that as sweets are so utterly in
definite in their composition, it was im
possible to deal with them as ordinary
articles of fooL And tlnr climax was
reached in the contention that it was
not wild to the prejudice of the pur
chaser, as the complainant said he did
not intend to cat it. This was extreme
ly ingeiaious, but the purchaser hap
jtencd to lie the insiK-ctor of nuisances,
who was merely collecting evidence.
Tle case ended for the present with the
imposition of a fine, on the ground that
the substance was sold to the prejudice
of the purchaser, inasmuch as it was
not in the nature of the sultanec and
quality of the article demanded by the
purchaser, who asked for gum and got
parafiine wax. If the ease is ewrtaken
to a higher court it is quite possible that
it may In- argued that the complainant
did not :isk for "gum" but for "chewing
gum:" that he did not get "parafline
wax," but only fifty per cent, of "par
1'iline wax" and tire remaining fifty per
cent, 'of unknown ingredients ' which
'.nfliciently "bring the 'substance within
the legal meaning of "cliewing gum."
Hut what is "chewing gum?" The fol
lowing definition might Ik- suggested:
A stil istanee of very variable com posi
tion, ignornntly employed by children,
which, when containing parafline wax,
may lead to very ferave dangers, aud the
sale of which should he prohibited.

WINNING A WIFE.
I
Mr. Claymer, of Texas rand. His ,
Remarkable Tracle.
Evcryliody said that Ih n Claymer was
a "crank," aud no one tlmught so more
strongly than Marian Harper, who had
Is-t-n the object of his eccentric atten
tion for many months. She. tjeing a
student of human nature, was calmly
amused with this Wid freak," as she
called hizo.
t'Ho is a puzzle, .Vunt Jane," she said;
"I don't know whether to think him a
genius or an i.liot. Sometimes. I'm
more than half-inclined to believe the
latter."
When ClaymeT called on Marian, it
wonld seem that he tinik no not j ol
time, and onlyAhe broadest of hints from
her woald arouse him. Then he would
smUcffood-lmmorcdly', and say: "W hat's
the se of going anywhere, anyway?
Just aboUt3.be time I get to feel in;; sct-tjr-d
and at home, somelody tells me to
jjo. loor little Joe! 'Move on.'"
Ftit several months his visits would
be regular and often, and then cease al
together, while for weeks he wonUl
confine bimsclf clo:,c!y to his work.
Marten paid no attention to these sud
den falls of temperature, having long
since ceased to wonder r.t anything he
did, and when. alU-r aliout a month":,
absence, he rcappeared, she greeted
him .as usual and never called him to
.account for his neglect.
Mr. Claymer was a "struggling" jour
nalist, whose fortune was yet to be
.made, and Marian was the daughter of
a distinguished lawyer in good circum
stances. Perhaps thi.s is the rwa-.oii
why Claymer never indulged any tender
sentiment in all his long talks with
Marian. They discussed the tariil,
la)ior question, scienup and relig'n.n.
and Marian proved herself thoroughly
mistress of all these weighty subjects,
being an industrious reader whoahvays
k.-pt "postctL" She captured the
intellect of lken Claymer thus, jns as
her sweet womanly ways had con
quered hislieart flaymcr wim a po-"l-ticiau
"to the bone." and entlausiaatie
friends said that he should cuter poli
ties for himself instead of spending all
his time and energy in working for
others. This Claymer refused to do.
and continued, with the greatest jf,od
humor, to play jackal to inferior lions
much after the manner of Sidney Car
ton. "He has no ambition." Marian said
to herself. "Dear me! If I were his
sister or his mother, or anything,
wouldn't I stir him up. though! I have
no patience with people who hide their
lights under a bushel."
Once, when they had been discussing
the marriage of a couple of their ac
quaintances (for one of Claymer's odd
(?) traits was that he took great inter
est in little gossip, and siieenla'.ion con
cerning the aJTr.ii-s of people in gen
cral). Claymer said:
"Well. I thiuk I'arker did very wrong
to ask Miss Webster to share his lot.
which said lot is a myth, and &11 she
will Ik- called upon to share will Ik a
stulfy aKm in a secoud-olasu boarding
house; she leaves a comfortable, pleas
ant home, where every tiling is as she
likes it, and expects to find greater
happiness in a ten-by-fiftcea room
which overlooks a jKiuliry yard. I
should never astt a woman to share my
"lot unVess it was every bit as good as
the one she left."
-"Young men shouldn't expect to liegin
where the old ones left of. When ma
and pa joined their fortunes, their sole
possesions were a log cabin with a
dirt floor, and a twenty-dollar gold
piece. Pa owned the mansion, anil ma
brought him the princely djwer. When
I hear them talk over those 'good old
times.' I feel sorry for commonplace,
well-to-do persons who get married and
prose through life without any real
trouble or pleasure either."
"You may lie right, but that is not
my idea of fun. I think a joor man is
a selfish brute when he wants a partuer
in poverty. Of course it was different
when your father was married: it was
rather the fashion V Ik jx-or in th-se
time a, and people didn't mind it much."
poverty will never go out -f fash
ion," laughed Marian, "unless Uellamy's
plans are adapted."
''Miss Marian." said Claymer, sol
emnly, after several minutes of thought,
"let mo ask you a question i.i "rithaietic
Whut would le a fair exchange for a
girl who is worth her weight in gold,
and five hundred thousand dollars in ac
tual cash?"
"A I'nited States senator with a
sixty-three ounce brain." protnpl!t re
plied she, with a twinkle in her eye.
Claymer's countenance dropped sev
eral degrees below zero, and he an
swered, quietly: "Correct; go up head."
After that conversation lien Claymer
bail another stay at home spell, and
Marian saw him no more for three
months. This was the longest spell he
had ever had. She was on the ev4? of

she was thinking: "How I hate to leave
withont balding friend ltenjaujin gooj
by," when she heard the elicit of tho
gate latch and turned to see the tall,
slightly stooping form of Claymer com
ing up the gravel walk.
"You're jnst in time. Sir Truant,"
ehe called to him from the lmlcony.
- "Yes," said he, "I have just heard of
your intended tour. How I envy you!
A European tour is the next thing to a
trip to the 'promised land' in my list.
How can you leave us all so long; and,
by the way, how long shall you stay?"
II is tone was light and cheery. Marian
would not own to herself that she was
disapjM tinted to see him in such appar
ent pood spirits, but she was. "We in
tend to lie pone three years. Ours will
not be a flying trip; we will take our
time and learn a great dead, I have no
doubt."
Claymer lietrayed even now none of
the dismay whichhe felt, but ran
his long, slender fingers lazily through
his wavy, black hair, and said: "Well,
you will le situated so that j-ou can
write very readable letters, and if you
will do me the kindness to spend your
idle moments in transmitting your im
pressions, stray pieces of information,
and so forth, to paper, and forwarding
the same to me, I shall be greatly in
debted to you. Will you?"
"If you will promiae not to publish
my epistles in the Daily American,"
laughed Marian.
"Agreed," aid he. They talked for
an hour or more, and at last the dark
ening shadows warned Claymer that it
was about time he was sitting at the
head of Mrs. Ilobb's supper table, and
he made his first efToK to go. The first
effort ts never liis last. Knallv. he

"1 won't," said she. "I don't want

Claymer htughch held out his hand
and said: "tiood-by; 4 iul bless you."

"Not much; ld much rather marry

"Iten Claymer. for instance," hints
ma. Marian faintly Hushes and says
laughingly: "It is a pity that he is not
so susceptible as those "foreigners.' "
A magnificent reception is at its
height. Marian 1 1 art s-r stands, clad iu

circle.

A s Marian turns to look at the object
of ihcsc remarks, her et'es meet the
gaze of the large, gray, dreamy orbs
which are the peculiar property of one
Den Claymer of Hayling, Texas, and he
immediately makes his way to her.
"Mr.'Ciaymer! What a genuine sur
prise!" says she. "What are you doing
in Washington, and especially 'what
are you here for?"
"I'm in Washington beeansu the dear
people sent me here, and 1 am at this
reception Itocauso I heard that I should
lo likely to meet a fellow-citizen here."
he answers, concisely, but with a bright
sparkle in his dreamy eyes. They ex
change commonplaces until jteu, by
some dexterous sleight-of-hand perform
ance, causes the admirers of Mirian to
vani.-h and leave him alone ia the field.
He proposes a stroll through the con
servatory, and as they are at last free
from the gaze- of all eyes, Claymer
turned and clasped her hands tightly in
Ixith of his.
"Marian, no words can tell you how
glad I am to see you. Are you true to
your American senator?"
"I am proud of your distinction," said
she, in frightened evasion. I was ex
pecting to find you grinding out fine ed
itorials for the Daily American. Why
didn't you write to me about this?"
""Sever mind: I'll tell you all about
it Mime other time. What I want to
know now is if the girl who is worth
her weight in gold is willing to ex
change herself for an American sen
ator, as she once said she would.
Marian, nothing but the hope of one
day feeling myself in such a position
that to proffer you my love would not
be an nnwirthy and foolish act, noth
ing but this has brought me here. You
were my incentive, and without yon I
care for nothing. I have loved you
always. Will you be my own little
Mrs. Senator? Aye or no, darling?"
"The ayes have it," said Marian,

SIMPLE SENSIBLE REMEDiES.
For neuralgia, bruise lawse-radish,
and apply as a pottltriee to the, wrist.
Whitt! onions, eaten raw, are more
and more recommended as a cure for
insomnia.
AxTTinvo that sets the blood in act
ive circulation including a bucksaw
will break up a cold.
Oex. Lew Wali.act says that a poul
tice of mustard and garlic applied to
the soles of the feet will cure rheuma
tism in on night.
Wiiex cold water is craved (although
cold water really interferes with diges
tion), it should ls 1 toiled and filtered,
and cooled in bottles on ice.
Fok stilf neck, sore throat, pains in the
chest, a good remedy is to rub some oil
or vaseline into the skin, then cover
with a piece of cotton wadding, the shiny
side outward, and wear till the dis
comfort is gone.
1i;of. Chari.ks Ekhet states in the

sulphate of quinine, administered two
hours, or four hours at the most," liefore
embarking', will completely free even
sensitive subjects from the horrors of

Overcome by Temptation.
About eleven o'cloc'c on a bright
morning a week or more a yo a fashion
ably dressed woman called at the lmx
office of the I'ni ui Square theater, says
the New Yotk Sim. She was young
and had an abundance of golden-yellow
hair knotted ia a coil l-chin-l l.-r lu :id.
She wore a natty bluclc cloth h:t and
a ltoa of glossy black fert'lvrs around
her neclc, conee:ding the collar of a
handsome sealskin cloak. She was ac
coinpaui'f 1 by a colored maid.
"Did you find a littV- pug dog in the
theat.-r last night?" sht asked the man
in the ollice.
"A pug dog?' asked Treasurer John
Cox, in affected surprise.
"Yes," said the woman, her voice ri -.-ing
to a trembling treble, "a tiny little
dog. He was only a few days old. My
maid here left him under the sc ;t. !,
did yu find hi;!-., s.r'.' '
At this the col-r.-d maid in-o. v-1:.-1
the window, and sai 1 that ..he h.nl U:i
wittingly left the dog utvler the scut
when she and her mistress left the
theater, and neither one bad discovered
the loss 1;U they reached home. Then
it was too lute to hope to find the thea
ter still opMU
"Yes." put in the girl, "and I hardly
slept all night thinking of poor little
doggy."
"ili-.t how did you hartpjn to brinr a
dog to the theater.'" asked Treasurer
Cox, frov:r.:i-. darkly. "'f c--vr - y-u
l:u.!V IV.;.; .'r.r.r.Ti"t allowed her.-."
"fill, but vty little tiogui-" wa-. t. lil'.le
and so young." replied the young wom
an, "and I couldn't leave him home all
alone, youknow. Sol told Dotty here
to put him in a cigar Ihix and l-ring liuti
along. And be was asleep in the cotton,
you know, and we were lx.thso pleased
with tli--play, you know (glancing ap
pcalingly ai the treasurer), that we
lioth forgot all aWiut him. You see. I
tho-r-ht she bail htm. but it ss-ms she
ha.l put the lxx under the sent and lor
giit nil ..li-.ut it O'i. do tell inc. did
you 11 a him".'"
The young woman gazi-d so arnstly
into the treasurer's face that ho rvlont
csL atid asktsl hat the dog's n.aiic was.
tiypsy," she reilie.l, drving a stray
tear with a tiny handke rchief. Treas
urer Cox then produced acigar-box fr. :m
under tho desk, lifted the lid. and !is
clo'ied a tiny dog curled up in a mas.-of
c-.-f-o-.i and sleeping peacefully. The
y.m.i;,' woman seized the ltox with n
joyful cclunuitiou, and. witli pror-.i-e

seemed to Ik- connect. 1 with the thca-t'-'rftri-jx-d
happily out with-t'ic cilorsl
mi.id f.illowing Itc-hind.
"Well." said Mr. Cox, "with all my
experience I never knew such a curious
article left in the thciUr In -fore.
Women are always leaving thi.vgs le
liiml them in their chairs and ltoxos,
but who would ever think of their l.-.-.v-ing
dogs behind them? Now, wo do not
allow dojfs in the theater, and she had
to smuggle that little fellow in. Why,
do you know, t.lr.- had th.it cigar-ltox
neatly tied up in brown paper as if it
were some package she had got at tho
store, or had forgotten to send by ex
press." All the theaters have rooms in the
cellars where lost articles which are
unclaimed after a reasonable time are
stored away. The general custom is to
hold "found articles" in the lox oliioe
for a week or more, according to their
value, and if then unclaimed to send
them down to the cellar. Here they
accumulate sometimes for years. They
herd with the dust and theatrical trap
pings and etrects long since abandoned
and stored for possible but not prole
able future use, till some of these cel
lar rooms are veritable curhtsity shops.
Little of real value is unclaimed, and
these subterranean collections are
usually far more curious than valu
able, "I have had people come bitck for
their hats," said a theatrical man the
other day. "In warm weather even
women occasioi.a1 ! y walk out of the
house in blissful forgetfuliu-.J of the
fact that they have removed their hats
for greater comfort end hung thcin oa
tiie back of their chairs. OvcrshiK-s,
umbrellas, canes, o-sTa glasses, over
coats, cloaks wraps, furs handker
chiefs these are the articles more com
monly left behind. l!ut purses are fre
quently lost, and these little reticules
that women carry, often containing val
uable articles. Then ladies very fre
quently leave packages containing pur
chascs la-hind them, after the matinee.
They coine back in great haste and
often in great alarm. I tremeiulter a
l.idy coming rushing into the theater
a 1 tout seven o'clock one evening and
sobbing out that she had lost a costly
diamond necklace, and must have
dropped it in the theater after the
matinee. We summoned the entire
staff of the theater, even to the sweeps
and gaslighters, but every man and
woman swore that no such thing had
been fouinL Wc searched the chair she
had occupied and the aisles in vain.
Then we gave it up. She started away
sobbing. After awhile she came back
and told rts the neck lace was done up
in a small package.
