from matrimony, and leaving undone many things which he ought to have done. He has no excuse to offer for remaining a bachelor and shirking matrimony all these years, and even If he had one he doesn't feel like telling her. Instead he feels a strong inclination to run away and he usu ally does. The bachelor feels thoroughly at home and ready to talk and laugh ••KK «Ko m«tron. but Jse feels even giddy with the young girl. She nev- er turns the eye of wonder or re- proach upon him, neither does she condemn his character or feel the least bit annoyed at him for never having married. She blushingly looks upon him as a hero, or at least fancies that she doe«. Never for one moment does he feel like telling her why he never married, nor does he feel the slightest bit like running away from her. The old maid usually says or does something which makes him retire into his shell, but the matron and young girls are so frank and free and full ot life that the bachelor comes forth and acts like himself. It any one can coax him to the altar it is usually tills jolly matron or innocent fun loving girl. I POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Lodge Directory Rev. Winfield 8.
