Now the question Is, What shall it be?" snid black-eyed May Gardner, In a determined man ner. "Just think! He'll be thirty five years old. and has never had one except when he was a little boy. al most too young to remember!" she added, sympathetically. "Did he say that?" asked Jennl Deering, with a curious blush. "Yes, he told Uncle John so," said May quickly, "and, when Uncle repeated It to me I just decided that ho should have a present this year, sure." "Oh, girls!" broke In Sallle Green, with a ringing laugh. "I've thought of tli3 very thing! Let's give Jonm a wife for his birthday present! H has everything else that he needs, and you know he Is altogether too timid to ever secure a wife without some assistance!" "Won't he resist It?" asked the girls, timidly, but May checked them Imperiously. "Certainly not, If she Is the right one! What man would! The only thing is to see that she Is in every way worthy of him, for Jonas Is really a splendid fellow, even If he Is bashful. Jonas shall have a wire for his birthday, that much is set tled! Now who shall she be, and how will we present her?" The three girls sat for a moment In silence: then suddenly May was struck with a bright Idea. The other girls stared at her In breathless amazement when she told them wlwt it was. Here we are, getting older aad older every day, and not a man In tb.) village that Is marriageable except Jonas. Now we all like him, you know we do; but. If we wait for him to propose, we'll all die old maids, and that would be awful. All Jonas needs L a little encouragement, and no one will ever know that we used our Influence for each other!" And, finally, her' reasoning pre vailed, possibly by the aid of a tender sentiment existing toward Jonas in the hearts of both the blushing maid. ens. "I say Jonas, you'd oughter be thinkln' of marryin.' " said Undo John" Gardner, shortly after the im portant agreement between the thrc young ladies. "I s'poso so," snid Jonas absently, with a little blush. " 'Pears to nie you'd better be lookln' around," continued the old farmer as indifferently as possible. "Your thirty-fifth birthday is comlu' and you've be'n half your life with out a wife. Must be sort o' deso late fer ye, I'm thinkln,' " "What'll I do?" asked Jonas, sheepishly. "Ask one of these pretty girls as he glanced slyly at Jonas. Which one'll l ask? queried Jonas- "Ask 'em all!" said the old far mer, with a roar of laughter. He had evidently thought of something that was exceedingly funny. "John Gardner, be you out of your head?" said Jonas, half angrily. But the farmer's words burned in his brain long after he had parted with his friend and neighbor. And that evening he put on his best suit and went over to call on Jennie Deerlng. An hour before midnight they were sitting alone In the kitchen, for the old folks had gone to bed in 4 most accommodating manner. "Did you know my birthday was, next week, Jennie?" said Jonas, sud denly. He was sitting as near her as he dared when he asked the ques tion. Suddenly Jennie giggled In a niojt unaccountable way. "Do you want a birthday present, Jonas?" she asked, with a fit of laughter that bordered on hysterica "I want a wife!" he said, boldly, and then blushed as red ns a poppy. "That's what I mean!" said Jen nie, still hovering on hysterics. "Do you want a wife for a birthday pre sent?" Jennie was desperately in earnest, as well as Jonas. She had to fulfill her part toward securing the com bination wife and present. "May Gardner or Sally Green would marry you, I am sure. They are both nice girls, and you're bound to like them!" She blurted out the words In the most astonishing wi'.y, and then finished by bursting Into a fit of crying. "But I don't want Sallle Green or May Gardner! I want you or no body, for my wife!" Jonas said bravely. The sight of her tears had mad him bold, and he was holding li-r hands now in the tenderest fashion. And before 12o'clock she was h'a piomlsed wife, and when he left her there was only one cloud upon her happiness. "The girls will be .iw fully mad," she sal 1 ever and over, "but, anyhow, I have kept my proJ mlse I am going to give Jonas wife for bis birthday." It remained for a. Salt Lake City orator to give a popular nnswer to thn oft-propounded query. "What shall we do when doctors disagree?" said, "Do the doctors!" New Yorll Herald.

When the last Imtsmnn, Police Constable Itoblnson, walked to the wicket the police required only two runs to win, ami naturally great ex citement prevailed. He batted with due care until u loose ball came, and, hitting this past mlil-on, be started for nn easy run. He got home comforta bly before Ibe wicket was thrown dowu, but to bis disgust lie was given out. "Why," exclaimed the Indignant con stable, "I was a yard past the wicket!" "Mebliee," said the umpire iu a su perelllcius tone, "but, jer see, It ain't what you say; it's what I say, an' I say you'm out!" "But" begun the Irate Itoblnson. "D'yer remember," interrupted the umpire, meditatively scratching his nose, "sayin" to me 'bout six mouths ago, "Don't argue with the law?' Well, you was the law that time an' I was run In. Now," he added, triumphant, "I'm the law an' you're run out!" London Tit-Hit:!. Pay of Army Officer.

Army nnd Navy Life. The Old, Old Story. Hot, tired and dusty, the excursion was returning from the seaside day trip, and Simkius, n little bald 111 an with big ears, overcome with bis day of happiness, dropped off to sleep. In the batrack above another passenger had deposited a ferocious crab In a bucket, and when Slmkins went to sleep the crab woke up and, (hiding things dull In the bucket, started ex ploring. By careful navigation Mr. Crab reached the edge of the ruck, but the next moment down It fell, nliglit- Ing on Simkius' shoulder. Not feeling quite safe, It grabbed the voluminous ear of Simkius to steady Itself, and the passengers held their breath and waited for developments. But Sim kins only shook bis bead slightly. "Let go, Eliza," be murmured. "I tell you I have been at the office all the evening." London Tick-Me-Vp. Men, Women and Adjectives. Certain adjectives are reserved for men and others for women. A mini is never called "beautiful." Along with 'pretty" and "lovely" that adjective has liecome the property of women and children alone. "Handsome" and the weak "good looking" are the only two adjectives of the kind common to ei ther sex. Even "lielle" 1ms no real masculine correlative In English, since beau" came to signify something oth er than personal looks. It is singular that "handsome" should have become the word for n strikingly good looking person, since its literal meaning is baudy, dexterous. But "pretty" like wise comes from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning "sly." Beauty In the Angleworm. If there Is nny living thing that seems to have nothing to relieve its ugliness it is the angleworm that crawls sllmlly across the sidewalk after u heavy ralu. And yet even that Is beautiful. Tut a bit of its upper skin under the micro scope und your Ideas of the poor little worm will change mightily. It shim mers like the softest satin and spar kles with nil the colors of the rainbow, for it is covered with little fine Hues crossing each other like the cuttings In a glass vase. The Smooth Handle. Everything has two handles one by which it may be borne, another by which It cannot. If your brother nets unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair by the handle of his Injustice, for by that It cannot be borne, but rather by the opposite, that he is your brother, that ho was brought up with you, and thus you will lay hold on it ns it is to be borne.

The stranger In Macon, Mo., Invnr lally noto3 the large number of mag nificent shade trees that border the streets of the town. The place lias come to be known as "The City of Maples," and the inhabitants take pleasure iu telling of how these fine trees were acquired. In 1872 John W. Beaumont, a real estate man, "went bt)ke" and could not pay his taxes, which amounted to $110. He offered the city council In lieu of the cash 10,1100 young maple trees, trom one to two Inches in diameter, all ready to set out. It was that or nothing, so the council took the trees. By public proclamation the Mayor fixed nn "arbor day," and everybody who would agree to set them out and care for them received from six to ten trees. At that time the town was al most bare of trees of every kind. Al most In a day Mr. Beaumont's legal tender for taxes was In the hands of the Inhabitants, and they so faith fully carried out the mnyor"s In junction that today there Is hardly a street In town which Is not beauti fully shaded by thick leaved trees, suggesting a town in the tropics.

Sunday Strand. Love of the Sea. It Is most reasonable to assume that the maritime importance vif such countries as Great Britain and the United States is due in a large meas ure to the intense Interest evinced by the people of those countries in everything relating to nautical affairs. The sea has a special attraction for them, and that attraction manifests itself not only in their naval and mer cantile fleets, hut also In the passion ate devotion with which they enter all forms of sport and pastime 011 tue high seas. Hindu, Madras. Brain Growth. The brain usually stops growing at about fifty, and from sixty to seventy It is more likely to decrease. It has been related by Canon MacColl that Mr. Gladstone's head was constantly outgrowing nis hats. As late as the Midlothian campaign, when he was nearly seventy, he was obliged to have his head reineasured for this reason. Canon MacColl's conclusion that this continual growth of brain contributed to Mr. Gladstone's per ennial youthfulness appears not un warranted. Spectator. Snail Farming.
