"It is less tempting now than it was when I consented to take the place" he replied, "but I have hopes that . It will become less disagreeable as I become better acquainted with the class of cus tomers I have to deal, with." "That is a very encouraging way to look at "sald the 'President.

The Portland people are still enjoying- themselves at Mount Tabor Park every evening. Tonight and for the rest of the week there will be the same perform ance as was commenced last Sunday.

Loud shouts of laughter were heard 'In the corridor back of the Republican cloakroom. This la one of the stories told: Some time ago Mark Twain and Sena tor Depew went to England on the same steamer. When they were four days out a concert and banquet were arranged and Twain and Depew were put down for speeches. At' the" proper time "Mark Twain was introduced and talked for 0 minutes, making' a typical Mark Twain speech. Then it was Depew's turn. He arose and said: "Ladles and gentlemen Mr. Clemens and I had an, agreement that we should write out speeches arid exchange them. He has just made my speech, hut un fortunately, I have lost his manuscript and have forgotten his speech.'? 'y Senator Depew sat ddwn and the peo ple-present roared with laughter at the Joke. .Mark Twain had nothing to say. Next morning an Englishman met Mark Twain on the promenade deck. "I say, Mr. Clemens," the Englishman said, "I have always heard thit Senator Depew was a remarkably. clever man, but I have changed my opinion. What wretchediMrlvel of his that was you were compelled lo recite last night." Joke Was Not on Farmer. The scene was a Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit car, working Its' way, to the Manhat tan end of the bridge. . Uptown In Brpokr lyn a' passenger got aboard one- - who bore in his tanned and seamed face, brown and gnarled hands, bent shoulders, whiskers growing from his neck, not his face, and In his clothes the evidence that he was a countryman from the agricul tural "deestrlcts." . The conductor was flip and smart. Ta hirh the countryman handed five pennies as his fare.' The conductor, disgusted, showed his feelings in the way he rewrdefl the penn'e In his palm. He went up to ths motorman and back again, stopping to tell an ac quaintance sitting ImmeuAtely In front of the countryman of the agriculturist who carried, pennljj' Thert the acquaint ance thought he would have some fun with the countryili.iti in':(? to all about he turned to the old man, asking: .'Say, old man, did you ever get up in the night and shoe horses?"

LABOR NOTES The Wardner (Idalho) Industrial Union held a picnic the other day, and was attended by 300 or 400 members. This is the name of the new organization which was formed in the Coeur d'Alenes for the purpose of supplanting the Min ers' Union after the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill had been blown up. It was organised by the mine-owners and their Imported men; It is probably the only union of its kind In the United States.

HoW THEY ACT Love Isi)M(Iel.'Into Games and Every Lover Plays . .Them. Love games', says Professor Groos, are chiefly four Caressing games, games of self-examination,, fighting games, and games of coquetry. " Sweethearts play ca ressing games because they like to be near each other: they play games of self exhibition because they wish each othe to behold their merits; they play fighting, games because they find it necessary sometimes to fight to win uch other, or because fighting is one method of dis playing their adorable quallllos; they play coquetry games because they ars made coquettish, and for uo other rea son In the world. Despite the fact that they have been pursuing their games since times prehis toric, and aitbough they are supposed by those outside the enchanted pale to be laughably alike in their cooing, thev have mrt decided upon a unlversul pat tern for "their games. Not even the klsa In excepted when Professor Groos pro pounds this Interesting revelation, honor ed with supreme glory by dreamy bards as well as by Intoxicated suitors. All children play catch and hide and seek, no matter whether they be the dainty scions of lordly Fifth avenue houses or sooty little beggars from South African hov els, or heathen Chinese, but when they are grown and begin to ham the game of love they each make up games ol their own fancy. GAME OF CARESSING. Perhaps the little play toying with In significant objects is the nearest expres sion of universality In love games of ca caresslng. Evfn those benighted peoples who have not" discovered the ecstacy of kisses enjoy thli" petty trifling of which the lovers In the' mill on the Floss are a type. Kitty was" doing her fancy work and asked Stephen for the scissors, whlcn Were passed and repassed between then, without the least reason for doing so, except theproxfmlty to which ft Jed and the handling of one object together. It Is the '.rick ot the boarding school hoy denand who shall say how many others ot the fair to let her shoestring untie so that the spruce stripling who has captivated her heart may have the op portunity of tying them again. The dig nified Oriental, woer who disdains the intimacy of the kiss does not scorn the delights of examining the ornaments worn by his beloved, not only with his eyes, but with his fingers. The more ' nrnlv'Jhhe period or social class, thinks Professor Groos, the more common Is this sort of play. At the spinning fetes of olden time Europe, couple after couple sang a spinning song while their hands "crept In and about the spinning apparatus. Plays of self-exhibition arise out of the lover's desire to present himself In the moat advantageous J)ght possible before his loved one. With this iin view.,' he plays a part. Ho acts as though he were braver, stronger, more skillful, handsom er, or more delicate feeling, and keener Intelligence tjhan he is actually and hab itually. A comic paper once observed that a lover always tries to be as lova ble as possible and hence always makes himself ridiculous. The lover not only.has the aim In view of pleasing his sweetheart, but he also enjoys his little exhibitions for their own sake. He appears to be. looking on at himself, listening to his own fairy tales, and enjoying his own parading. ' When this is done to excess his game is com monly known as flirting. One- of the features of self-exhibition are the contests of many swains before their ladles. The old-time tournaments. Whose victor were given the privilege of crowning their chosen one as the queen of love and beauty, are one of the many examples. Any man in a contest feels double stimulation to do his utmost when ladles are present!. They 'have long learned that prowess and a martial bearing are admired by the fair ones. This1 admiration Is in part a relic of the earlier form of.loyer-llke exhibitions. The Indians use ' their war paint and feathers primarily to delight the squaws. In some tribes the men do not dare to marry, for no woman will have them until they have slain a number of foes. The conquest of rivals in this way be comes one means of self-exhibition. It proves his supremacy. In some tribes the youths gather together and" fight for the belle, and the conqueror bears her off as his prize. In the West Vlctorlaip, tribes a man Is allowed, to carry away another man's wife if he con defeat the man in combat. Both the husband and the new suitor ore entirely satisfied and the woman takes her fate as a matter of course. In New Zealand, when two suit ors present themselves before a single Alarming maiden and both are equally strong, courageous and clever in battle combat, she gives the coveted "yes" to the man who can pull her arm the most vigorously. Each man takes an arm and they pull simultaneously. MAKING LOVE A8 A SPORT. The higher the culture of a pair of sweethearts, the more prominently do mental displays mingle with the exhibi tion of physical fascinations. The cul tured suitors delight In simply showing their power to charming woman or in making a direct attack on her heart. Many men enjoy this so keenly that they play the gallant without any serious Ipve Intentions and ensnare every lady with their brilliance of conversation. The masculine post-prandial withdrawal to" the smoking-room is explained by Profes sor Groos as a dpslre for relaxation after the fatigue of mental exertion In display ing their charms to women during' the dinner. ' The stilted ornate styles' of lovb letters) are another form i of eelf-exhlblflon adopted by the suitor who would fain win his sweetheart .by . the power of smoothly written Words. ., i T'. Self-exaltation Is retaliated in full by the woman, but with a difference. She alternately seeks and flees. and in pared-. fffg her wonders ft ever addresses herself : to her adorer. She turns aside when' the sees him appreciative- of them' as If she , were shy. While he parades his strength she makes much of weakness, helpless- - v H p . i - - '-v.: ' V if--- p. ; - - " i- '. s - " ' .'.'.--' . ..; - " r . ii 1 a' - ii rw - t 1 1 - w li - w iv; .-' ; 1 1 1 jy.UKll AL, Eight to .The ournarNewspaper.
