Sticktoativeness Wins.
There lives iu a New Hampshire town
a young man who is bound to make his
mark in the local world if not in any
other sphere. Such cases of persistence
and courage are seldom recorded. The
story of his courtship is repeated with
great joy by the older men of the town.
"Set out to marry Emma' Wilson, aud
done it," said one of these men to a
sojourner in the town who had re
marked on the attractive personality of
the uncouth Martin Soule's bride. "I
reckon he proposed to her upwards of
twenty-five times before he got her
Every picnic aud social most he used
to tote her off in a corner, and they'd
come back with her cheeks pinker than
nsual and his jaw louger and more set
than ever.
"Well, sir, she's a real musician, that
girl is. She can tear the piano all to
pieces playing, aud works the organ,
too, and siugs like an angel. Martin
don't know a pedal from a pitch-pipe,
aud he's got a voico like u nutmeg-
grater. Seemed as if bis lack o music
would be his undoing even if nothing
else was, but it proved different.
'He bought him a cornet, and ho took
it out to Wilson's corner every night
rain or shine, and practiced. He had
no knowledge, but lie had breath, and
folks said the results could be heard
over ou the marsh road, two miles off.
There wasn't a mite o' shame to that
feller, When Emma reasoned with
him, he said if she'd have him he'd
quit the comet, but otherwise he'd got
to have some relief to his feeling, and
that instrument lot 'em out the most of
anything he'd found.
"He was on his own land a meadow
piece he bought a-purpose folks said
and there wasn't any preventing of
him. And I expect Emma saw quali
ties in him from that very performance
that seemed kind of desirable. Her
father's as, weak as water, always was,
and his wonieu-folks could turn aud
twist him, poor tool I
'Anyway, she took him, after he'd
played that cornet right through the
September liue-storm, and they appear
to be real plem-ed with each other.
He's set out to be representative next
term. Nobody'd given a 'thought to
him till he spoke of it; but I guess on !
the whole we shall let him go. We'd
kind of like to see what he'll do with j
the state legislature when be gets his
hand in." Youth's Companion. '
Henry Nice in Portland.
People over on the Aluea make a liv--ing
easier than any other people In the
world, according to Henry Nice, who is
ic the city from that region.
'We are not bothered by railroads,
street earn, gas companies, water offices,
or policemen," he said todav. "and
there is no sii;n yet that we ever w ill -
be. We have all the fish we want to
catch, clams are to be had for the '
trouble of digging, meat ctu.be pro
cured by simply going after a deer in
the woods. We can dress as we like,
aud need not follow the behests of fash
ion. The brush furnishes us with
plenty of berries, and we have all the
wood we can use just for the cutting.
We are therefore much happier than
you in Portland can be, and we are not
worrying over inducing new people to
come in and settle. There are not
many of us, but what there are constU
lute the happiest community in the
world .
"We would not know how to go about
living in a city, and could never stand
to pay for the water we drink or for the
wood we burn. Vegetable bills would
look unnatural to us, and as for butcher
bills, we wouldn't know what to make
of them.
"Here in Portland you must rustle
and jostle with your neighbor or go
under. Ovor our way there is room
enough fur all, without getting into
other people's way, and Icau't get back
home any too soon to suit me."
Mr. Nice has been a resident of that
part of the Oregon coast for a score of
years, and has amassed a goodly num
ber of acres of the fertile lands of the
beautiful Aleea Vulley. He does not;
desire to part with any of his property
howerer, until he hears the screech of
the locomotive, when he will probably
try to dispose of his holdings and will
hie himself with his family to some
point remoto from the turmoil of civil
isation. He has recehtly sold his fish
ing plant, aud caunery, and is enjoylug
a rest. Portland Telegram, Septem
berl8.
Horrors of Close Shaves.
A New York barber has ou a corner
table a fine pocket microscope and a
framed announcement that says:
"Do you know what a close shave
means? Bring a friend here, if you
don't, have him shaved close, aud then
look at his face through tbo micro
scope. The entire skiu will resemble a
piece of raw beef.
"To shave the face perfectly smooth
requires not only the removal of th'e
hair, but also a portion of the cuticle j
so that a close shave means the remaval
of a layer of skin all round. The
blood vessels thus exposed are not vis
ible to the eye, but under the micro
scope each little quivering mouth)
holding a minute blood drop, protests
against such treatment. Bring a frieud
and see I
"The nerve tips are also uncovered :
by close? shaves, and the pores are left
unprotected, which makes the skin
tender aud unhealthy. This sudden
exposure of the inner layer of the Bkin
renders a person liable to colds, hoarse
uess and sore throat," New York
Herald.
School Postponed Again.
The local school board has decided to
postpone the opening of the schools
until Monday, October 1, for the very
good reason that a large number of
pupils are busy in the hopfields of the
Valley and canuot return before tho '
latter part of siext week.
