There sre many more mourners about the bed of Marcus A. Hanna than there would ‘have been a few years go. The expressions of regret at that time would have heen perfunctory. It would have been a case of “de mor- fuiis nil nisi bonum.” But against great odds Mr. Hanna thas been gradually working his way toward real popular- ity, At the time of bis death he had overcome much of the heavy handicap imposed upon him by the cartoon- ite. Gualities, ile had won the friendship of his former ene- iaies, the workingmen. He had taken an active interest % projects of social betterment, and had rendered many important services to the cause of industrial peace. if he had been spared longer he might in time have con- qnered the reluctant admiration of all who had once con- demned him.

Nibliski, the Russian, got along all right till he came to the water hazard. He refused to cross it, because he was afraid he would fall in. “The East Side Freedom-with-Interest” admits that the Japanese might have used stacked cards in stuss, but claims a horrible defeat for the Russians, with a loss of 182 kopeks and a flask of vodka. The game was played in a storage warehouse at Port Arthur, where they keep the’popular enthusiasm on ice, “Caromushimna, the Japanese champion, made the Russian Backduwnoviteh look like 30 cents, according to the Zeitung-Geschaft. The score was 214 to 135 in favor of the Russian, when the Jap yot them against the rail and kissed off 95 before he ran up against an impossible , | draw three times uround the table. Backdownovitch had @ set-up, but got rattled and fired the cue ball at a hand- ;some waiter who was approaching. By the time they found the ball again it was too dark to play. “P. J.

The Jap had 290 to go and 300 pinochle in his hand when Zimmermanski melded a thousand aces and Hooaryu dropped dead. “I hear from reliable authority, who refuses to be quoted, that ‘hereafter no Iussian will be allowed to go to sea in a boat unless he takes a chaperon to keep him from running into himself. Admiral Alexieff is seasick, and the Mikado threatens to produce ‘Parsifal' as a last resort.”” “You talk like a man on a vacation from a bastile for » | the dippy!” exclaimed the Cigar Store Man. ‘You're full of prunes!” retorted the Man Higher ‘Up. “T talk like @ man who has beon reading the despatches from the Far East.” The Bashful Bachelor Co., Ltd. By.Nixola Greeley-Smith. ROM Cleveland, O., comes the news F of the incorporation of the Bash- ful Bachelors’ Company, Limited, an Organization of seven young men who announce themselves as “not mar- ried, but willmg," and whose avowed object is to benefit by the leap year privileges prevailing, and induce seven young women to propose-to them, Only a fortnight ago a'club of young women wan formed in Dubuque, Iowa, for the purpose of securing husbands through the recognized medium of the leap-year proposal. : All over the United States similar or- ganizations are springing up, and it would seem that the whole matrimonial problem might be solved if all these “leap year" and bachelor ‘clubs could be federated into one huge get-together club in which, after due preliminary formalities, the young women who want to propose and the young men who want to be proposed to could meet and marry, ‘The most remarkable fenture of this phase of the mat- rimonial situation is not the proposal clubs of the young women, for since time immemorial women have by more or less indirect means selected the men of thelr choice, but rather the bashful bachelor companies of the young men. There was a time when men were not unwilling to take chances in the matrimonial lottery, and in those days mauy @ man proposed to a girl when he knew it was 100.to 1 would refuse him, It ts not so with the modern bachelor, eapeciall: York, where the “Isarkis is willing” attitude seems to per- vade all classes of male society, and where all the most devoted lover permits himself Is a passive Indication that when the axe of matrimony awings his head will be found on the block. The trouble with the New York man-though, to be sure, the peculiarity 1s not local to Manhattan—ds that he is teo conceited. $ No matter ‘how much he loves a woman he does not want to take a chance on being turned down=t would hurt hie | ! i i i in New and to which the most charming woman alive 1s @ second- ary consideration—so he calls and calls and sends her flow- ers, and in every other way showers attentions upon her and makes love very systematically and persistently, but unless she gives some unmistakable sign of recipr. his feelings he not risk @ proposal. Why should he? But the moment a girl re that @ young man anxious ve his feelings is thus patiently altting on the f She is very, ape to let him remain there, with the romalt thet there is a deadlock in the matrimonfal situation, and the formation of leap year clubs and bashful bachelor asge- clations 4s made necessary, Nevertheless, it would be foolish to suppose that the pre-, posal in which the woman takes a leading part Ip confined te | the ono year in four, of which dt ia a recognized institutien. For far more marria ges have their inception in the woman's brain than in the man’s, and the bashfnl bachelor meed only sit back and realize that indeed all things come to him whe walt.
