Admission lOcts. —No truer thing could be said about the most vital matter in life than this by a writer in the Ladies' Home Journal: If I were asked by a young man or e yonng woman how to be guided in the choice of a life mate, I should, in the exe.cise of a judgment based on wide and studious ob servation, say: Choose that person who after a reasonable period of association, proves to be the most companionable. This broad law comprehends nearly all others that can be suggested. It wore infinitely better to be single through life than to marry one who would not answer to this condition. —There was once a man who on April Ist saw a large, fat pocket book at rest on the pavement. He knew it was the first of April, and he put his thumb to his nore and wriggled it in derision, saying in mock ing tones: "I am too fly to be scooped lor a sucker on an old trick like that." Back of him came a poor old woman, crip pled by rheumatism, scantily clad and bearing every evidence of having a hard struggle to keep the wolf from the door. The poor woman saw the pooketbook and and with a cry of pleasure she picked it up Everybody who saw it felt glad that the old woman had found the pocketbook. She opened it and burst into—no she didn't burst. That's a mistake. She was too angry to burst. The pocketbook was stuffed with waste paper. This fable teaches us that the fly man can never be scooped. —There was "qaite some fan," as the High School girl would say, on Main street Saturday morning over an innocent looking big copper cent. It lay on tbe pavement directly in the path of hundreds going to their places of business, and, al though many essayed to pick it ap, strange to say, nobody secured posession of it. The wicked man who lost it hadn't lost it. He had simply attached a long nail to it and drove the nail between two bricks. The first party to tackle it was a farmer man carrying a large basket of produce on each arm. He was a fat man too, and as he pat down his baskets he groaned. He groaned some more when he reached down to pick up the cent, and he kept on groan ing as he made desperate attempts to pull the coin out by the roots. He was still puffing as if over a hard task when he went on up tbe street. A business man on the way to the postofßce saw the cent, stopped short and made a dive for it. He realized in an instant that it was an April fool joKe, and he passed on with a very red face, while the boys laughed a great coarse haw, haw, haw. A dainty little miss who runs a ribbon counter in a dry-goods house and says "Cawsh" in a six-dollar-Salchi contralto voice, tripped gaily by and saw the coin. "0-oh !" she exclaimed delight edly. Then she stooped over to pick up the cent but conldn't move it. Perhaps her glove interfered. She took off the glove and again mado a play for the cent. No go. Then it dawned upon her that she was a victim. She looked up and saw half a doien people laughing and giving the coin a spiteful kick with a number 1J shoe she sailed on undecided whether to get angry or laugh. And for a couple of hours that cent tripped up people and had more fun than a S2O gold piece. At last a newsy with a long bladed knife, saunter od along, saw the coin, looked all about him, winked and chuckled and dug the cent out with his knife. The fun was end ed.

Four young ladies wfat to the cieek to boat-ride, and as tho boat was small, they arranged that two should row down the creek a short distance, and back again, and then the other two. Miss Blanche Keister, a daughter of George Keister. and Miss Maggie Blair, a daughter of John Blair, were the first two to enter the boat. They moved down around the bend, and not re- turning within a reasonable time, the other two walked down the creek to look for them and found the boat floating down the creek, but the girls had disappeared. They immediately gave the alarm, and the creek was dragged, and Miss Blair's body recovered that night, and Miss Keister's next day. The yonng ladies were well known in that community and their sad fate was the canse of much sorrow. The Markets. BUTLEE MARKETS.

Clara Morris has received many tributes from the newspapers of this couttry. The following from a Sew York paper appeared a few weeks ago: "Clara Morris began an engagement at the Fourteenth St. Theatre last nigbt before a large house, which, be fore the play was ended, became a tre mendously enthusiastic house. Thii great actress returned to New Nork in the full vigor of health and triumphed by the mag netism and the stupendous ontpouring of her genious. She shines afresh with the brilliancy of a diamond as well as with the lustre of a star." Miss Morris appears at the Armory Opear House for one night only, Tuesday, April 11. She will be" seen in Kenee De Moray, a play replete with situations calling for a display of her remarkable gifts. Her Company is everywhere spoken of as one of unusual excellence, each person being carelully selected for their fitness for the roles they are assigned.

The programe for this concert will be a most enjoyable one and gotten up specially to suitjthe occasion. How to Obtain' Long Life. Take life easy. Nothing prolongs life like a cheetfuf disposition. Make haste slowly. The snail outran the hare and won the race. Avoid all worry. Care wrinkles the brow and dries up the fountain of lite. Don't get angry. Every burst of passion shortens life's span one inch. Be moderate in all things and temperate in your habits. Remember, "sleep is na ture's kind restorer," and if you would live long, sleep long. Above all take care of yourself. If you are not feeling well there is something wrong and nature needs to be stimulated in her work. The best physicians in the country recommend Klein's Silver Age and Duquenße Rye for such a purpose. They are for sale by dealers generally at $t 50 and $125 per quart respectively.
