MATTERS THAT ARE APART
Wooer Discovered That Business
• Methods and Lovemaking Are
Things That Will Not Mix.
There was no sentiment about the
young man. Ills hud been a business
training, and he carried business meth
ods into his social life.
“Will you be my wife?” he asked, j
bluntly.
The girl looked startled.
“I’m not much of a lover,” ho added,
“but I guess I’ll make u pretty good
husband. I might give you a whole lot
of soft talk, but what's the use? Mur
rlnge Is a contract and should be set
tled on a business basis. When I
want anything in business I go after It
bluntly. I generally know what 1
want, too, and I want you.”
She gasped, but presently regained
her composure.
"Fortunately,” she said, “I've had a
little business training myself, so we
can discuss this proposed contract
properly and dispassionately.”
Tm glad to find you so sensible,"
he told her.
"I can give you nothing better than
a second option,” she said.
“What!” he exclaimed.
"I might tell you that I am conscious
of the honor you do me, but thnt I am
already engaged,” she explained.
“That, with a suggestion that It is
very sudden, would be the sentimental
way, bot I will merely say that the
first option is already taken.”
"Then thero Is no hope?"
"How foolish,” she commented. “As
a business man yon ought to know that
a first option does not necessarily
mean a closed contract If you don’t
want to take a chance on a second op
tion, say so; If you do. Til drop you a
line if I find myself on the matrimonial
market again.”
“That's sort of cold-blooded,” be
complained.
"That’s business,” she asserted.
*1—I don’t believe I Uke business a*
well as I thought I did,” be remartaed.
"Verv llkelv.” she returned.
‘®’d rather have a first option.”
“A first option never has been and
never will be secured by business
methods.’1—Brooklyn Eagle.
STAND ON SITE OF TRAGEDY
Ancient Willow Trees Believed to Be
Near Scene of the Deportation
of the Acadlans.
Whoever has read Longfellow's
poem, “Evangeline,” will be interested
In visiting the land of Evsangelfne, the
Annapolis valley In Nova Scotia. Can
ada and the country about Wol£vllle,
which Is the center. Orand Pre, the
little village which was the scene of
the deportation of the A cad! a ns in
1755, Is only a short distance from
Wolfville, but little Is left of the vil
lage where the tragedy told by the
poet was enacted. The chief object of
Interest In what was once Orand Pre,
are the mammoth, gnarled ancient wil
low trees, known ns Evangeline’s wil
low’s, which stand, a conspicuous group,
amid the fertile green meadows and
serve ns a windbreak. They show
their age, these-anrient trees, and were
undoubtedly planted by the French Ca
nadians, for the Acadlnns Invariably
planted willows wherever they settled,
and these trees ure perpetual memo
rials of them. Beside the willows,
there may be *een at the site of Orand
Pre the old well, portions of the foun
dations of the church of St. Charles,
and some stones that mark the site of
the priest’s house. These willow trees
nre always visited by tourists, and al
though history does not exactly tally
with the poet's account of the deporta
tions of the Acadlans, and though there
may be a division of opinion ns to the
Justice of the act t# the English In the
deportation of the Acadlans, the old
willows tell no tales, but stand, sturdy
and strong, and are sightly landmarks
still hale and vigorous.
Poetical Inspiration.
It Is not about great events that
great novels are written. The same
Is true of great poems. Not "the 13
decisive battles of the world,” but
such relatively unimportant ones ns
Balaklava, Ivry, Ilohenllnden and Blen
heim have inspired the poets. Wa
terloo was considered to be the
greatest battle of modern times, but
the lines Byron inserted In "Childe
Harold" constitute the only memora
ble poem ever written about It. The
only ballad of the Civil war, which
became fixed forever In people’s minds,
related to no great battle but to Stone
wall Jackson's march through the lit
tle town of Frederick.
The greo»t events sire peaks In the
mountain ranges of time, that leave
little to the Imagination. Literature
thrives by the streams of legend and
glory that run down from them and
by the lanes and roads of emotion,
aspiration, passion and endeavor that
lead up to them. The side lights and
side Issues and everyday events inaks
literature, as they make life Itself.
Insects in Amber.
The proverbial “fly In amber” Is
strikingly exemplified In a collection of
red amber from Burma recently pre- j
sented to the British museum by U. C.
J. Swlnhoe, of Mandalay. The amber !
Is unusually rich in Insects, including j
according to Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell,
who has examined the material, 31
new species, of which five are types >f
new genera. Most of these are found
In a block of amber rather larger than
a man’s fist. Tills has been cut Into
slices about half an inch thick. Nearly
every large order of insect Is repre
sented with the exception of ants.—
