“I’ve come to ask you for the hand cl
your daughter,” said young Bromley,
stumbling to the seat offered him by
the girl’s father.
“Which one?” asked old Dimmock,
the coal merchant, laying down the
newspaper which he had been reading,
and eyeing the young man curiously.
“Sometimes I think it is Mollie, and
again I am sure it is Millie,” replied
young Bromley, genuinely perplexed.
The old coal merchant looked sym-
pathetic.
“You can’t have both,” said he, after
an awkward pause.
“They’re splendid girls, good enough
for anybody!” exclaimed the young
man.
“Well, I rather think!” said the old
man, proudly.
“I could be happy with either of
them,” went on young Bromley.
“I’m disposed to think,” observed
old Dimmock, “that you have been
happy with both of them.”
“So they’ve told me more than
once,” said Bromley, with the pleas-
ant light of recollection in his eyes.
“Well, can’t you make up your mind
which girl you want to marry?”
The old coal merchant looked at the
young man with the fresh color and
theloyal blue eyes as if he would like
to have him for a son-in-law.
Young Bromley did not answer for a
moment, and then he said, slowly,—
“Which do you think sounds the
better—‘Millie Bromley’ or ‘Mollie
Bromley?’ Sometimes I’ve looked at it
in that way.”
“I don’t think there’s much to
choose,” returned the old coal mer-
chant, weighing the question with
every desire to be fair.
“You know,” continued the young
man, “there have been times when I’ve
gone to bed perfectly charmed with the
name ‘Millie Bromley,’ and in the
morning ‘Mollie Bromley’ has caught
my fancy. Millie, Mollie; Mollie, M11-
lie—it’s an awful puzzle.”
,“Of course, you’ve proposed to one 01
the girls?” inquired their father.
“Oh, yes, indeed,” said young Brom-
ley.
“Then that is the girl you want to
marry,”'exclaimed the old man, tri-
umphantly. “Why, it’s simple enough
after all. You’ve taken quite a load
off my mind. Which one is it?"
“It was Millie—I think,” answered
young Bromley, hesitatingly.
“Think! Don’t you know?"
The young man flushed and looked
reproachful.y at the coal merchant.
“Mr. Dimmock,” said he, “I’ll put it
to you as man to man: Wh'ch is M11177
and which is Mollie?”
“Don’t cross-examine me, sir,” re-
joined the old man. “If you want to
marry one of the girls, it's your busi-
ness to find out.”
“Heaven knows,” cried young Brom-
ley in anguish. “I want to marry
either Millie or Mollie and have her
all to myself. It’s trying enough for
a. fellow to be over head and ears in
love with one girl, but when there are
two of them, it’s more than flesh and
blood can stand."
“There, there, my boy,” said the coal
merchant, soothingly, “don’t take on
so. Either girl is your with my bless-
ing, but I want to keep one for myself.
Let me see if I can help you."
And going to the open French win-
dow he called,—
“Millie, Mollie! Mollie Millie!”
“Yes, papa, we’re coming,” sounded
two sweet, well—bred voices from the
shrubbery. '
There was a tripping of light feet
along the stone walk under the grape
vine, and Millie and Mollie bloomed
into the room.
“How do you do, Mr. Bromley,” they
said together, with the same intona~
tion and the same merry glint in their
eyes. ‘
Millie had auburn hair and brown
eyes; so had Mollie. Millie had a Cu»
pid’s bow of a mouth, little teeth like
pearls, and a dimple, and so had Mold
lie. Millie’s arms, as seen through her
muslin sleeves, were round and white;
so were Mollie’s.
From the waist to tips of their little
feet the figures of Millie and Mollie
were the same line for line, and
both were dressed in white muslin,
‘witli lilac bows behind their. white
necks and lilac sashes at their waists,
lilac stockings without a. wrinkle, and
each were white satin shoes. Their
hair was loose over their fair brows
and was braided down their backs, of
just the same length, and tied at the
end with lilac ribbons. Millie tied
Mollie’s bows and Mollie tied Millie’s.
“Well, papa?”
“Young Bromley tells me,” began old
Mr. Dimmock, after he has taken
draughts of their fresh young beauty
by looking first at one end then at the
other, and then dwelling upon the fen-
tuies of both with one eye sweep, 'tha’
he prio )OSGLI to you last night.”
_-.
--‘ messes
“Oh, not to both, you know, Mr.
Dimmock,” interjected young Brom-
ley.
“He asked me to be his wife,”
Millie, demurely.
‘He told me that he couldn’t live
without me,” said Mollie, mischiev-
ously-
“How is this?” said the old man
turning to young Bromley with a. so-
vere look.
The young man blushed furiously
and lifted his hands in‘ protest;
“I’m sure,” he stammered, “one of
you is mistaken. I asked you, Millie,
to be my wife in the summer house——
and—and—t—I kissed you. That was be-
said
fore supper, and later in the evening, I
when we sat on the front steps, I said
that I couldn’t live without you and
that we must get married.”
“Before we go any further,” inter-
rupted the old coal merchant, “which
is Millie and which is Mollie. When
your dear mother was alive she could
tell the difference sometimes, but I
don’t know to this day.”
“Oh, how dull you- are, papa!” said
the girls in duct.
“1 think that is Millie on the right,”
spoke up young Bromley.
“Why, Mr. Bromley,”
am Mollie.”
“Very good now let’s get on,” said
their father, “where were we? Oh,
yes, young Bromley says that he asked
you to be his .wife, Millie, and declared
he couldn’t do without you.”
“I beg your pardon, papa,” said Mol-
lie, he told me that he couldn’t live
without me.’
“Well let’s get our bearings, contin-
ued the old coal merchant. “Brom-
ley, you asked Millie to marry you
down in the summer house, and you
kissed her! That’s correct, isn’t it?”
“There’s no doubt about that, sir,”
said Bromley, 'rugerly.
“And after Copper when you sat to-
gether on the stoop you told Mollie
that you couldn’t live without her?”
“That 1' deny, sir. Oh, I beg your
pardon, Mollie, you needn’t look so an—
gry. I meant no offence.”
“Did you kiss Mollie?” went on the
old man, relentlessly.
said she, “I
“No, sir. I— ”
“Yes, you did, Mr. Biomley,” flare
up Mollie.
“I admit,” said the young man,
struggling with his emotions, “that I
kissed her when I said I could not live
without her, but it wasn’t Mollie.”
“Oh, Mollie!" said Millie,
could you?”
“Now, Millie,
said Mollie.
01d Mr. Dimmock looked mystified.
“It seems to me,” he said, with a
show of impatience, “that if I were in
love with one of those girls I could
tell the difference between them. So
far as I can make out, young man. you
have asked Millie to be your wife, and
have tried to make Mollie believe that
you could not live without her. Now,
to any one who does not know Millie
and Mollie your conduct would appear
to be perfidious. Of course, as between
you and Mollie, I must believe Mollie,
for the girl certainly knows whether
you kissed her.”
The old man eyed both his daughters
hard. Millie was biting her nether lip
and so was Mollie, but Mollie was try-
ing to keep from laughing.
01d Mr. Dimmock had an idea.
“I would like to clear up this thing
to your satisfaction, and my own,
Bromley,” said he. “Let me ask you
whether Mollie kissed you when you
told her you could not live'without
her?”
The young man got very red in the
face.
“You mean Millie, of course,” he re-
plied, with embarrassment. “Perhaps
she wouldn’t mind my saying that she
did kiss me in the summer house. But
she didn't kiss me on the stoop. I
kissed her.”
“How is that, Millie, Mollie?" asked
their father.
“Papa,” said Mollie, decidedly. “I
could not keep Mr. Bromley from kiss-
ing me, but I assure you I didn’t kiss
him.”
Mollie looked her father straight in
“how
do be reasonable,”
the eye and then she shot an indignant
shaft at Bromley.
Millie hung her head and her face
was as red as a poppy.
“I think,” said the old- man, dryly,
“that it’s plain I’ll keep Mollie, and
we’ll have that marriage before you
make another mistake, young man.”
The Catholics.
The prosclyting influences of the
Catholic church, says a writer, are felt
in places where Other denominations
have never been heard of. I have
been'in lumber camps in the deep
woods of Maine and Canada, and seen
the priest going his rounds, converting
and making collections. No matter
how small the pay nor how great the
discomforts of life, the lumberman
gives his mite willingly. . At the Falls
of the Montmorenci is a big lumber
mill, wheie many hands are emplo'ed.
On pay day I saw a priest go to the
cashier’s office and receive dozens ‘0:
small envelopes, signing his name for
each in a large book. Afterward the
men were paid off. The proprietor in-
formed me that each laborer gave so
much a.' week out of his, wages, and
the priest was authorized to collect
it in that way. I learned that this is
the custom all over Canada.—~~New

' TAILOR- MADE GOWNS. .1 '
Severe English Styles Altered by Paris
Taste.
[By special arrangements with the N.Y.Sun.1
7 Fashion declares itself from time 'to
time, and the semi-annual revolution
in dress comes without any regard for
theexpense it involves; but the tailor-
made gown bobs up on the top wave of
favor with every variation. To be
sure, it‘ is affected by the changes in
- fashion, but it has an established place
1 among street costumes which no other
, kind of gown can‘fill. The severe Eng
, lish style which distinguished it some
l years ago has been wonderfully trans-
formed by the artistic tench of the
,Parisian dressmakers, and now the
., (
French tailor gown, braided and trim-
med without limit, rather has the lead,
except for morning and traveling wear.
It. is certainly the decorating and
not so much the material that classi-
fies the gown this season and makes
it fashionable for every day wear or
perfectly suitable for dressy occasions.
Smooth-faced cloths are the favorite
materials for the elaborate tailor
gowns, as they are a good background
for any trimming, but there is. a. great
variety in the mixed fabrics, invisible
checks, bayadere striped wool checks,
which are made up into simple useful
gowns with rows of machine stitching
for the trimming.
Some trimming up the back of the
skirts is one of the fads of fashion,
and again we find five or seven‘
straight rows of braid down the mid—
dle of the front, on either side, which
turn and trim the skirt around the
bottom.
The most elegant, as well as plain,
:loth gowns are made of one material,
except perhaps the sleeves, which are
made of velvet in some lighter con-
trasting color or of silk embroidered
in tiny sprays. The tailor gown with
a street coat requires a waist of some
sort, and when the cloth bodice is not

REJUVENATING POSTAL CARDS.-
A Process by Which the Printed Matter
is Removed.
An advertisement has appeared in
some of the daily papers in which a
cash payment has been offered for un-
cancelled printed postal cards. It
seems that many business houses have
occasion to have a. large number of
postal cards printed to advertise some.
special line of goods or for the use of
some traveling man. For some reason
or other, the conditions may change,
so that perhaps only half of the cards
are used. Being printed, they cannot
be used in any other way, and the res '
sultris that in nine cases out of ten
they are consigned to the waste has-
ket, as the government does not re~
'leem uncancelled postal cards as it
ices stamped envelopes.
A process has been discovered by
which all of the printed mattei may
be removed from the card, leaving it
in the same condition as when bought
it the postofiice. A charge of one-half
cent per card is made for this work;
1r, in other words, a man sends five
hundred cards to be “made over.” The
man who does the work charges $2.50:
for his services, and the customer
~.aves. $2.50, as the printed cards were
of no use to him.—Bostén Transcript.
SHOES FOR ,ONE—LEGGED MEN.
Not Difficult to Buy Only 0ne——Tlie Other
Sent to the Factory to be Remated.
The one-legged man buys his shoes
precisely like the two—legged man. At
:he big stores they break a. pair to sell
‘zhe single shoe that the One-legged
'nan requires, without the slightest
hesitation; and he can get any kind
it shoe he wants. The single shoe
”emaining is sent back to the factory
'.0 be mated up, and this is done with
perfect accuracy. Every pair of shoes
.5 numbered, and. it could easily, if it
were desired, be traced back to the
stock from which it is made. .There
s no guesswork about it. The shoe
required to mate the shoe remaining
may not be made on the identical last
man which the original shoe was
made, but it is» made upon a last of
mathematically the same proportions,
1nd the pair thus restored is as per-
iectly mated as the oriainal pair.
The one—legged man who buys in
:his way a single shoe pe ys slightly
more than half the mice of a pair.
Dne- le gged men are in the very larg—
est shoe stores among the regul :71- cus-
tomers; and they are not so unusual
1s to be remarkable—New York Sun.
WISE MIRTH.
Serious People Have a Quick Perception
of True Humor.
There is a saying of Chamfor't which
many serious-minded people, under
'zhe pressure of care and work, would
10 well to lay to heart, “the mos:
thoroughly wasted of all days is that
on which one has not laughed." It
has often been said that cnly they
who take life with profound serious-
ness can be really humorous, for they
alone perceivet'hose fundamental con-
trasts which make humor possible.
Mr. Ford has laid the country under
lasting obligation by correcting the
impression that Washington never
laughed. Deeply serious as he was by
nature, and retired and non-communi-
cative as she was in large companies,
no man could. appreciate and enjoy.
fun of any good kind more thoroughly
than the great leader when with his
intimates. It is true Emerson hated
to laugh, but his radiant smile was
better than laughter. Carlyle, on the
:ontrary, was given to earth-shaking
'augh-ter—a. kind of Berserker laugh—
:er, not with undertones of pathos
running through it, Lincoln’s love of
stories, both in the hearing and the
telling, was a safety valve for one
whose tremendous burdens fell on a
I;emperament deeply tinged with sad-
ness. —Outlook.
PUT HER LESSON INTO PRACTICE.
4 M an's Life Saved by a Woman’s Courage
and Practical Use of Knowledge.
Miss Susan W. Randall, daughter of
be late Samuel J. Randall, of Phila-
ielphia, proved a. while ago the true
meaning of first aid to the injured. She
was driving along a. street in Utica,
where she was visiting, when George
D. Frazier, a veteran soldier, was run
aver by the electric cars, which sev-
ered his legs below the knees. There
were several attendants and inmates
:pon the veranda of the W-hi'tesboro
Sanitarium, in front of which the ac-
:ident occurred, but they seemed too
horrified to offer any assistance to‘the
Rand-all sprang

zier’s wounds, called for help from the
Sanitarium, Receiving no attention,‘
3he rushed into the yard, and, cutxtting
iown the clothesline, she bound up the
imbs, stopping the flow of blood. She
afterwards assisted at the amputation,

‘“ IN coo we TRUST. ..
'ulgin of the Legend on Coins of the
United States.
Director Preston of the mint has
been asked so often about the origin of
:he legend on the coins of this country,
‘In God We Trust,” that he has'mad-e '
1 statement ‘ef the result of his re-
:earches. ‘
So far as the department records
show, the first suggestion for me rec-
)gnition of the Deity on the coins of
:he United States was made by M. R.
Watkinson, of Ridleyville, Pa., who
ligned himself “Minister of the Gospel”
:1 a letter dated November 13, 1861. He
wrote to Secretary Chase somewhat as
"ollows: “You are probably 3. Chris-
iian. What if our republic were new
shattered beyond reconstruction?
Would not the antiquaries of succeed-
-ng‘ centuries rightly reason from our
past that we were a heathen Nation?‘
What I propose is, that instead of the
Goddess of Liberty we shall have next
.nside the thirteen stars a ring in-
scribed with the words ‘perpetual
'mion;’ within this ring the all-seeing
Laye, crowned with a halo; beneath this
eye the American flag, bearing in its
field stars equal to the number of.
states united; in the folds of the bars
the words, ‘God, Liberty: Law.’ This
would make a beautiful coin to which
710 possible citizen could object. This
would relieve us from the‘ignominy of
heathenism. This would place us
openly under the divine protection we
have personally'ciaimed. From my
heart I have felt our national shame
in disowning God as not the least of
our present national disasters. To you
first I address a subject that must be
agitated.” ,
Secretary Chase was impressed with
the suggestion, and moved in the mat-
tel, so that “An act was passed April
22, 1864, changing the composition of
the 1-cent piece and authorizing the
coinage of the 2-cent piece, the de-
vices of which were to be fixed by the
director of the ~mint, with the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury; and
1:; is upon the 2—cent bronze piece that
7119 motto, ‘In God we Trust,’ first ap-
peared.” The legend was ordered on
78, it was ordered to be in-
uch coins as admit of it.—
LAUGHTER AND INSANITY.
”molars Dread to Have aPatient Laugh
Alter an Operation.
”1} is a very curious fact,” said a
73.1 cd asy1um doctor recently,' '
‘L;:at, taken as a general rule, all luna—
,‘ict‘. laugh about twice as much as sane
"EXILE. ‘
“Cu-3 of my worst patients at the
present moment exhibited the first

week.
“It was just after a severe illness,
which had been accompanied by much
mental depression; and his friends
were so delighted with the apparent im-
provement in his spirits that they had
no idea of the real state of affairs un-
til a. doctor was called in, and pro-
nounced the man completely mad.
Laughter after a surgical operation is
a. symptom always greatly dreaded by
doctors and nurses.
“That queer impulse to laugh which
some people experience in the first mo-
ment of a sudden calamity is in real-
ity one of the sharpest warnings of in-
sanity that any one could receive.
“Some people fall into a habit of
laughing at their own thoughts when
a;lone this should be always strictly
checked, as it is an unhealthy sign,
and may lead to brain trouble later
on.”—London Answers.
