LOVED AND LOST If (nrOE newspaper tells of a young j JL man who committed suicide be[cause he was rejected by the "girl he [loved," observed the professor. "He must have been a poor-spirited crea- — — truth in the old ' cn-iruui 111 uie o:u

say lug that it's bettor to have -loved and "lost have loved at all." "I never could see much truth in it," replied the low-browed man. "Most of the old sayings are gold ■ bricks. They seem to be 99 per cent wisdom until you Sit down and take them apart and examine the examine the

[pieces, and then you wonder that they Ifooled you so long. ' Tve only been In love once. I've imagined myself In love a good many (times, but the great sizzling passion of my life had possession of me about iten years ago. I was so far gone that I wrote poetry, and when a man does that you may know he's no longer re(Sponsible for his actions. "The girl's name was Isabella But- . flterworth, and to say sh- \Ais a peachVino Is not doing her justice. She was an apprentice in a miiii.iery Joint, and only earned two bones a week, so you can see I loved her for herself alone. If ghe hadn't been dra> i ng more thau one plonk a week it w- -,'J have been Just the same. Thei - i. oijiing unselfish about me when my affections are concerned. "Tom Singletree wijs my rival. He was a worthless, louth.s.,we individual. Who had a squeaky tenor voice and played the mandolin. He belonged tc the glee dob and sang in the choir land a man who sings in public always has a strong pull with the girls. Isabella wavered for a while. She realized that 1 was one of nature's noblemen, but I couldn't sing any more than a bullfrog with a sore throat. She was passionately fond of mnslc, «nd th< sight of Tom standing up before a cultured and refined audience, all shirt front nnd white teeth, was more thar she could resist. So finally phe told me the best she could do under the drcumstances was to be a sister to me and she and Tom were married. "I can't tell you how tough I felt, professor. It seemed to me that tly bottom had fallen out of everything If the marriage had been a failure mj - broken heart might have healed In "* time, for there's nothing more encouraging to a rejected suitor than to set the girl strike hnrd sledding after tht 1 ceremony. Then he knows she is re grettlng the choice she made. J "But everything prospered with Isa j bella. She had r. great business heac on her. She bought out the milliner} store and built It up until It employed fifteen or twenty women, and then she i added, dry goods, and inside of a few years she had the biggest establish ment in town. I never heard of suci: a soft snap us Tom's. His wife make.' > all kinds of mpney. and all he has tc do is to wear purple and fine linen and sit around looking beautiful. He hasn'l done a lick of work since he was maryie.l. and his wife considers it a pleas-ur.-'io make money for him to blow ji "and. she looks upon him as the most in . terv-Sng event that ever occurred. "No "ntun with flesh and blood in his veins can look unmoved npon such el ~ sj-ict.ic'e. often when I am carrying ■ mi!„ to. my customers I see Tom bowi • lng along the boulevard hi Ills motor I cuMX'I he looks at me In a tone ol!ty .ijaiir1 'that, makes me yearn to battle ! ' ^Tu-'lsr and sudden death. Some da} j I'll n. -et that man where the polk- j ci.n'i Interfere, and then I'll maalcurc 15 his hand until he admits that he Is r } cow pi. to mistake. po "If I laid never loved Isabella 1 Qi wouldn't care anything about this bus I iness. Rut when I reflect that I mlghi be in his place if I had. been able tc sing The Dost Chord' in/a high, squealing voice. my burden seems greater D1 than I can bear, and I can hardly wall ca for the time when Til have a chanct ,= to even things up with Tom." Where the Peach Stones Were. A 500-ton mountain of peach stones was recently thrown upon the New York local fuel market as a substitute for coal. The stones were gathered t>y patriotic Americans In war time to be used In the manufacture of gas" masks. They found a ready market at <1 a ton and were distributed to the needy. — Dearborn Independent. The Art of Panhandling. "Move on, you bum," said the large policeman." "1 ain't no bum." answered the tattered stranger, indignantly. "What are you, thenT" Tm a prospector." Tmph I What do you prospect for?" "The milk of human kindness." Hardly Consoling. = "The Idea of applying for that posh tkn haunts me." j] "No wonder; yon haven't the ghost ^ pi a show.'
