Would Be Liberal. A writer in Harper's Magazine says that the summer residents of a Cape Cod town made up their minds that they must have a casino. The build- ing was intended pretty strictly for their own use, but it seemed wise to enlist the interest of ‘the natives in the project, especially as the project- ors wished to secure a site at as low a figure as possible. A building and finance committee was appointed, and an old resident, a Mr. Buffon, was made one of the three members of it. He was owner of the lot ou the summer cottagers had hearts. At the first meeting of committee the matter of contribu- tions was broached. Mr. Buffon left his colleagues in no doubt to his position. He declined to contribute a cent. Then the two coaliagers labored with him the site. Fifteen hundred dollars was his lowest figure. They explained to him the advan- tages that would acerue to the place through the erection casino, and the inevitable enhancement the value of his other property; but he held out for fifteen hundred dol- lars. Finally one of the committee sald: “Mr. Buffon, vou shall either Knock off something from the price the lot, or, if we In it. for fifteen hun- dred dollars, make a handsome contribution.” “Well,” said Mr. Buffon, “I'm ready to do something for you. 1 can’t let the land go for less than fifteen hun- dred dollars, but if you the figure sixteen hundred dollars, IT am ready to contribnute one hundred dol- lars to the fund.” The meeting was adjourned on mo- tion of one of the summer visitors. which their the sel us over of the {1 r Of iv you should make i 1 cnet GI ss A Bit of Correspondence.

Every fellow in the crowd was a bachelor, and each one was informing the other in all seriousness that he should marry, “What for?" inquired Claude Brown of Frank Jones, “Because,” replied Frank, “it's the only prope: way to live,” “A nice husband a reporter would make,” said Claude in rebuttal, “coming in at 3 o'clock a. m. and leaving home as soon ns be got his 12 o'clock breakfast.” “But his wife would always know where he was, and if she didn’t, she'd know wherever he was he was afier an item and had to be back at the office ov time,” remarked Charlie Bmith, “Well,” put in Claude, “if you think it's such a great snap, why don’t you get married sant,” said Charlie, very positive ly. “Why not?” Phunderation, man, how's money How's nu | plank? man yt oan ull of dirt? . 1 rrupted Claude; anything fatter ft Uo W hat ng a rich girl?’ “YW her : Plenty 5 need bursing agent, Ho 1d of with money and they they : 4 1 “tan ier in he i i 2 won't sides, $ hos heart set on can’ mniri started for home Smith arcued awhile against and ut half past 8 the y 3 ¢ he trudged He was thinking conversation over ind a dong It occurred to i wis not only & Knot i he was a very lonesome but led him throu th the ar portion of the city, i sel a turbied be the peculiar click of THN fine house his reverie was aiurning lock. and the matrimonial line of t s knocked all away by the reportorial of al ith, a saw, instead Mrs. t. and he pit blo cracking a mi making off wi frncti instine ming was going t and slipping listens as if the open Lig have on into the shadow waited and went the again, bus [Irs Lie ordinary The inde reporter scrut ymbula’ off the first tenor and esdaing mas got to take h t hit : €r in that's he said to him led the will plain, sel i hu gentiy ing walker back the ] and the with a forty horse. power draft minute the beautiful Was no longer ase Ps but and Charlie had a very young woman in his arms in a dead faiot, and he made a dash with his burden ini the ball, only to meet a healthy up to door rang bell, and rang it Ihe walker next sleep Ww itle AWARD, young What's this? he shouted, making a ‘Shut the door, you idiot,” grurgled weed almost putting his foot on her, after the young man, and the remainder of the of them fixed to see company, “fot wo of me and shut that door, and I'll tell you,” wheezed Charlie, *‘You bring the patrol wagon, do you?"
