It’s really the equivalent of daylight, and that’s why all up-to-date stores are using it. Of course there are also other vital reasons, one of which is this: the G-E Mazda Lamp gives tw ice the light of the ordinary car bon incandescent lamp — and costs less to bum."

Wily not put me out o f my misery by telling me you won't marry me aud have done with I It?" ‘‘ I have no auch Idea.” she replied. “ W hy not?” "Oh, it’s very nice to have some one to be devoted to me, to bring me can- I dy and violets and all that." This was not tbe reason, at least Hie ; sole reason, why she kept him dan gling. The main one was—to put It figuratively—he was a ripe pear hang ing from a tree and there was another girl under the tree watting for him to drop. He didn't know that she knew about this other girl, but he did know he wished to drop into the other girl's month, tie was committed to the one he was talking to and trying to have her shake tbe tree while the other girl stood ready to catch him when ho fell. "1 tell you what we’ll do," he said. “ I’m tired of this business. I can't sleep nights. Sometimes I think you nre going to make me bnppy, and some times I think you aren't. If 1 knew you wouldn’t have me I’d try to for get you. Let’s stop this indecision and decide the matter by chance.*’ “ H ow by chance?” "Well, we might play a game o f cards for it. Make it euchre. I f I bent you the best three games in five you give me ‘Yes' for an answer; if you beat me three out o f five you say ‘No.’ " “ I don't care; get out the cards.” H e was not only an expert at the game o f euchre, but an expert at deal ing the cards. He could stack them, too, without half trying. He threw the cards for the deal and won it. Dealing, he turned up a nine spot. She passed, and he turned it down. She made it spades and won two (mints. He heaved a sigh from down in his stomach. She dealt and turned a knave. He passed. She took it up and won another tw o points. He groaned. The deal being Ills, ho turn ed a ten spot, took it up and lost the game. “ What did you take it up ou that hand for?" she asked. “ You hud only two trumps, an ace and a queen, with nothing back.” He looked a trifle confused. "You were so near out,” he explained, “ that I thought I’d better plunge." She said nothing, but knit her brows, then drew down the corners o f her mouth. The second game he won. He didn't Intend to win it, but slie sent him for the Inst box o f candy he had sent her, and while lie was out sbe stacked the cards, dealing him a hand with fire trumps in it, Including tw o bowers and an ace. lie feigned merriment, but she was not deceived. Then he won & game, and she won a game, and it stood tw o games for ench. Beginning the deciding game, he dealt and turned n queen. “ I don’ t see any use o f your turning a queen from the bottom o f tile pack," she said, “ when there was a jack on top. ” To prove her words she turned the first card he had dealt her. It was the knave of clubs. "H ow stupid o f me," lie said. "1 thought to get an advantage and I got a backset. It’s no use for me to cheat.” “ It's no use unless you have a softy for an opponent. Deal the hand again.” He knew that she was watching him with the eye o f a cat. There was no use trying to deal himself good hands or her poor ones. The luck was In his favor, or. rather, consider ing what he was trying to do, against him. It was Impossible to lose. He was obliged to win. “Oh. my darling!" he exclaimed, "flow happy 1 am!” But there wan no great warmth In Ills tone. “ Do you mean to hold me after cheating?" "I cheat”! I made a mess o f that anil lost by It, though I gabled 111 the main. Still. If yon feel that I have taken an unfair advantage o f you” ’ — "Oh. no. Everything is fair in war and in love." There was a deep mean ing In lier tone when she said this. He winced. He had started with that idea, but had come out at the little end o f the horn. "Suppose." he said musingly, "w e play a single game double or quits?" "W hat do you mean by that?” "Either yon marry me tonight or not at nil." She thought awhile, turning the proposition over 111 her mind, then said she believed she'd do It. They played the game, lint she caught him trying to get rid o f a ebti- ple o f bowers and insisted on his playing his original hand. By this time she had learned to turn a low card In dealing from the bottom of the pack. These two matters, taken together, gave him the game. She considered not that she had beaten him, but her rival. She led him to the slaughter at once. They lived a cat and dog life for a couple o f years, when they secured a divorce, he paying her a fine alimony. Then he married the gtrl who had waited for him to drop. It was rather j a roundabout way o f securing liappl- | ness, but In the end all were bene fited. Had the fly extricated Itself from the spider's web one o f the three would have been at a disadvantage. As It was It was an xqultnble transac tion.

C O Q U IL L E STUD IO George & Gibier, Props. A lazy negro who let his wife take in washing without demur had a dream one night and a policy dream at that. He borrowed money from her to play the combination, and before he left home he stated his conviction. "Mandy,” he said, "Ah's goin' up town to play dls combine, what am sho' to come out. When you see me cornin' home in a hack yon break up yo’ wash tubs.” The "combine" didn't come out. and Sam. In great dejection, acquired a lot o f gin. Then he was messed up a bit by a dray, and some other negroes hired n hack to take him home Sam was nearly out and was breathing heavily when the hack turned a fam il iar corner, and his wife was standing In the door. With his last ounce of energy he stuck his head out o f tbe window and yelled; “ Mandy. spare dem tubs!” —Chicago Post viewing, developing and printing for ama teurs.

When General Forbes captured Fort Duquesne in 1758 he renamed it Pitts ♦ burgh In honor of tbe great English Insplrer of victory. Later it dropped the “ h” nnd became Pittsburg, only finally to tack the "h" on officially and revert to the original spelling. In 17.84 Arthur Lee described the place In languag" which seems strange to those who know "the Smoky City" of today: "Pittsburgh Is Inhabited almost entirely by Scots mid Irish, who live ! In paltry log houses There nre In the town four attorneys, iwo doctors nnd not a priest o f nny persuasion, nor | church or chapel, so that they are likely to he damned without the bene fit o f clergy.

Kruse NOSI ER & NORTON P /Notice to Dealers The Horte’i Pedometers. The whorls of hnlr on the coats of horses and other animals are natural pedometers. Inasmuch as they register the locomotive activities of the ant mals on whose bodies they nre found. The best examples and the greatest number o f these hairy whorls nnd crests are found on the domestic horse. A notable Instance Is the grace ful feathering that extends along the hollow o f the flank, dividing the trunk of tile animal from the hind quarters There are also crests and whorls on the horse's chest and other parts o f its body. A study o f the action o f the un derlying muscles explains tbe origin of these peculiarities In the lay o f the hair and furnishes tbe justification for calling them pedometers, although the analogy Is, o f course, merely superfi cia l—SL Louis Republic. $7.50 -3.00 2 4 California Street, San Francisco O C O Q ’.
