people at a hotel table where Dries- bach was sitting, some one dared her to pass him a dish of onions. |Immediately seizing the dish, she not only passed it, but inquired if he would have an onion. He said he ONLY A STEP. Only a step—and we pass away From aii that life holds dear, To the dawn of an eternal day Where one wipes every tear. @nly a step—and the last farewell ‘To those we love on earth, Is but the chime of a distant bell That another sou! has birth. | would, and took one; and from s¢ | small a beginning sprung an acquaint | ance that in three months ended io marriage. It was a singular match, | and people long wondered if the | dauntless lion-tamer would have equal success in taming his wife, But one of the most absurd tricks Cupid has been known to play recent- ly occurred within the last few months in a prosperous little city far up the Mississippi. Returning from a sleigh ing party one wintery evening, a giddy youth and maiden fell to discussing the strange fact that although they hal so long known one another by name, they never before had met. “I've heard you are an awful flirt,” said he. ‘Just what I've heard about yqu.’’ said she. And so the contro- versy began, and continued until this heedless pair decided that there waa but one way to settle the question of who was the most desperate flirt. “We'll have a flirtation for just three weeks,” said Blondel (whose name doesn’t begin with B). “I'll be up Friday evening and we'll be- gin.” He kept his word, and they pro- ceeded to make themselves mutually agreeable. Saturday he sent a box of roses; Sunday he joined her at church, and she invited him to dinner; Monday he took her to the theater; Tuesday to drive, and so on. Jacques perpetually blossomed on her table; and, if a day passed that Blondel wasn’t there, a messenger boy was. At the end of the three weeks Blondel inquired if she was tired of it. Only a step—and the river rolls Away from the shores of time, Bearing its freight of immoral souls Beyond this earthly clime. Only a step—and the silver cord Is loosed from its mortal shrine, To dwell forever more with God In the hght of His grace divine. Only a step—and the gates unfold Of that home beyond the skies, Where the streets are paved with shining gold, And we dwell in Paradise. Only a st-p—and the pure in heart Shall behold Him with the blest, And hear those words we know in part: “Come unto Me and rest.” —Alte: D, Abell, tn Good Housekeeping. POPPING THE QUESTION. How Man Proposes and What In- duces Him to Do It. Odd Courtships—Accidents Which Lead Up tothe Momentous Question— Jests That End in Earnest—A Romance of the Northwest. This popping the question is funny business. Another queer thing is, that almost any girl will freely confess, with a Uitle urging, the number of proposals she has had, and a goodly proportion @f sobered matrons even are not @verse to recounting the conquests of their youth. But ask « married man how he happened to propose to his wife, unl in nine cases out of ten he will only answer with an uneasy “Not at all,’ said she.
