Abner Hope was what some folks call a poke. ,He wasn’t lazy, but he was easy going. He intended to take the widow under his arm in due time and clear away the line of fences be- tween the two farms, but he didn’t see my special hurry about it. The widow had said that it she ever married again she would insist on a bridal tour lasting at least two weeks. and he had to figure as to the most convenient time for sparing those two weeks from the farm. He also wanted to study the widow and make sure that she was what she seemed, and it was also a pleasant thing to sit with her on the veranda and talk romance and love. There were many reasons for let- ting things drag along. “Mr. Hope,” replied the widow as she looked up with flashing eyes, “you needn‘t waste your breath asking me to marry you.” “Why, Mary, what‘s come over you all at once?” Abner Hope, twenty-four years old, lived on a farm just out of Melville, with his sister for housekeeper. Ad- lolnlng his farm was that of the Wid- ow Williams. She was thirty-five years old. but she moved around with the step of. a girl. She had only put off her mourning when Abner fell in love with . The wlow was looked upon as a catch by more than one, and Abner had to brush aside three widowers, two old bachelors and a young man or two be- fore he stood in the front row. “Well, I have. Mrs. Richards told me today that the whole neighborhood was wondering why you came here so often.” “Whyâ€"why, I come a-courting, of course. I thought everybody knew that,” was the surprised answer. “And what has come of it?” “Nothing as yet, but as soon as I can get around to it I’m going to ask you to marry me. I suppose you under- stand that.” Abner never had popped the question Ind been answered with a “yes,” al- though it was tacitly understood that there was an engagement. One even- ing he strolled over in his easy way to find the widow in a snappy frame of mind. She had been doing up pre- serves that day and burned her hand. Her greeting was not as efiusive as usual, but that did not disturb Abner in the least. He sat down and began to talk about the corn crop, and the widow stood it for ten minutes before she snapped out: “I am Mrs. Williams, lf you please, and as I am very busy this evening I hope you will excuse me.” “Do you mean that you are going to “Look here. Abner Hope, Do you know that folks are talking about us?" “I hadn’t heard anything in particu. marry some one else?” asked Abner after a moment’s thought. “My business is my own, sir.” “Don’t be a dodo. Mary.” “How dare you talk to me this way? Sir, I bid you good evening!” “I hadn’t heard anything lar.” She rose up and entered the house. and after sitting around for half an hour Abner took a slow departure and made his way homeward. As he thought matters over his conscience told him that he was derelict. 'He should have settled the matter weeks before and been ready to get married as soon as corn husking was over. The result of his deliberations was that he would let a day or two pass to smooth down the widow's temper and then call and ask her to set the day. He realized that he loved her. but he didn’t per- spire over the thought of losing her. It so happened that Abner had to go to town on :1 law wait for a couple of days and that he was extra busy with work on the farm. and it was a week before he made ifs next visit to the widow’s. He found that things had changed. She was entertaining a man about forty years old whom she introduced as Mr. Simpson. and it was plain from Mr. Simi-mon‘s attitude that he was much (an'ered that he had :1 rival. 1110680. Mr. Simpson was more than a rival. He was now the man inside. Abner Hope went home to wake up. There was a feeling in his heart that he had never felt beforeâ€"that of jeal- ousy. It made him stir himself. Bright and early next morning he went over to the next farm to borrow a hoe and inc-id: - tally to ask the widow to set the inch" day. day. 3 it she was not to be seen. He mlled three times that week. but had no luck. Then he lay in wait to pound Mr. Simpson. Fortunately for the dri'e well man. he carried a gun, and wimn he exhibited it Abner backed ofl‘ like a sensible man. Within two weeks it was reported that Mrs. Wil- liams and Mr. Simpson would make a match of it and that the engagement would be brief. Abner Hope thought fast and moved fast. He was deter- mined not to give the widow up, but under existing circumstanees was help- less in the matter. when accident fur- nished him a weapon. nished him a weapon.

A Matter of Pronunciation. Is it too late to make a stand against the mispronunciation of the word frieze as applied to Irish tweed? 0n the other side of St. George’s channel they know better than to confuse their wall decoration with their dress ma- terial and pronounce the one “freeze” and the other “frise.” So did we in old England. Originally meaning the curling nap on clothâ€"from the French “friser,” to curl; Welsh, “Eris," nap or clorhâ€"frize, as it was then spelled and pronounced, came to mean cloth that had a nap on one side and is now applied to any rough kind of home- spun. We can be sure of the old pro- nunciation from the motto worn by Brandon, duke of Suflolk, when, on his marriage with Henry VIII.’s sister, he appeared at a tournament on a horse draped halt in “frieze” and halt in cloth of gold: Cloth of gold. do not thou despise. Though thou be matched with cloth of one had entered his room in the night from the open veranda window and had robbed him. It took him fifteen minutes to eXplain what he had been robbed of, and then only after he had resorted to pencil and paper. He raved and gesticulated and jabbered strange words. He was sure there could be no mistake as to his having been robbed. He wanted the sheriff and all his con- stables put on the trail at once, and he ordered mush and milk for breakfast and ate it without appetite. After breakfast he wrote two or three notes to the widow, but tore them all up and finally set out for her house. People who had seen him every day for weeks did not know him. Mr. Simpson and the widow were to start for the circus at 11 o’clock in the torenoon. At that hour he drove up to her house and descended. She was not quite ready and asked him to wait a tew minutes. He smiled and bowed and answered in the Choctaw dialect. ‘ “Why, Mr. Simpson, what on earth ails you?” she asked as she looked him over. Smiles and bows and more Choctaw. “Youâ€"your cheeks have all fallen in; you mumble your words; you don’t look at all like yourself. What has hap- pened?” “Did I ever! And you expect to go to the circus and entertain me without a tooth in your head. I’ll not go.” And so evident was her determination that Mr. Simpson abandoned further eifort to persuade her and drove off. “But you the same as called me a dodo.” “I’ve been robbed," he replied through the medium of paper and pencil. “Good lands! But what of?” “My teeth. Both plates are gone. Some one entered my room last night." At that juncture Abner Hope drove up. A minute after hitching his horse he was on the veranda beside the widow. “Mary,” he began, “I have come to take you to the circus.” “I-I expected to go with Mr. Simp- son.” “I know. but neither of us knows What a dodo is.” They drove away together. and when they had made a distance of two miles and were crossing a swamp Abner took something from his coat pocket and gave the packet a fling among the grass and water. “What is it?” asked the widow. “Shall we be married Thanksgiving day?” he asked as he dodged her ques- tion by hitting at a horse fly with the lash. . “I wanted to have a long talk with you.” trize: Cloth of frize. be not than too bold.

March 1, 1500 (O. 8.), Francis de Taxis appointed “capitaine et maistre de nos postes” by Philip, regent of the Netherlands, at Ghent. It is a matter of record that the Taxis posts carried English mails from Calais to Vienna and Rome before 1500. J an. 18. 1504 (O. 8.), Francis de Taxis instructal to establish regular posts between Brussels and the capitals of Gemmny, France and Spain, with pay at 12.000 livres per annum. In 1.30? England had a “magister postarum,” appointed by Henry VII. Possibly it was Sir Brian Tuke, who served until 1545. Nov. 1:2, 1516. Charles V. concluded a contract with Francis and Baptist de Taxis requiring them. for 11,000 g61d ducats. to maintain posts between Brussels, the capitals of Germany, France and Spain and Naples. Every postotfice was to have two horses. The Brussels-Paris route was to be covered in thirty-six hours, Brussels-Burgos in seven days and Brussels-Naples in fourteen days. Abdul's Way. Abdul Hamid insists upon it that ev- ery ruler or other political personage should die a natural death. Other manners of death are not "recognized” officially in Turkey. When King Hum- bert was assassinated at Monza the Turkish newspapers announced this sad event in the following form: “King Humbert left the hall amid the frantic cheers of the people. The king, much affected. bowed several times and to 311 appearance was immediately dead.” When the late shah of Persia was as- sassinated the Turkish papers said: “In the afternoon the shah drove to his summer palace and there complained of illness. His corpse was sent to Te- heran.” One paper, however, exceeded all others in “simplifying” the piece of. news by publishing this absurdity: “The shah felt a little ill, but finally his corpse returned to the palace." This phrase was too much even for the Turks, who have retained it to this day as one of their proverbsâ€"Dude.

In addition to the selection ot Ham- ilton as a site for one of the proposed new normal schools, it has been defi- nitely decided one willbe located at Kingston. It is stated on good auth- ority that a decision will be reacher shortlv-- as to the site of the others contemplated under the year’s pro- gramme. The chances for one at Uhatham or Sarnia are very bright. Owen Sound, M=aford and Coiling- wood are also stated for the proposed new schools with the chances in fa- vor oi the former. From all appear- ances the intention of the govern- ment is to erect schools to cost in the neighborhood of 350.000 each. The 3100.000 voted at the last session of the Legislature will carry the build- ing work along until next year. when it is the intention of the government to ask an additional grant of 3200.000 to continue the prOgramme. The new schools will be built to accom- modate 150 pupils. They will have departments for manuel training, domestic science, a gymnasium, a central hall. a lecture hall or theatre and laboratory. and in regard to ven- tilation, heating and lighting. the system will be thoroughly up-to-date.

When Maxim, the famous gun in- ventor, placed his gun before a com- mittee of judges, he stated its carry- ing power to he muchbelow what he felt sure the gun would accomplish.
