A PROVIDENT BRIDE. How st Wide-Awake Philadelphia' Youic Wonuu saved Money; tor ft Wedding- Tour. A promising young lawyer who has an office in the Girard building has just made the delightful discovery that his fiancee is also a financier. The vounc man's sweetheart resides in German- town, and for several months past he has called upon her regularly thrice a week. When he first met the girl, two 1 years ago, he was, 'of course, extremely anxious to make: a good impression,' and he lavished many presents upon her. The girl's parents are quite well to do, but she disapproves of any sort of display or prodigality, and when, in the natural course of events, the young man proposed and was accepted, she felt it to be her privilege and her duty to read him a little lecture on "Econo my." She called his attention to the fact that every time he called he had been in the habit of bringing flowers and candy to the value of a dollar or twot She suggested that in the future he should discontinue the presents,, handing over a silver dollar instead whenever he came to see her. He latrgbed, for he thought she was joking, but she speedily assured him that she was much in earnest. So he paid his dollar regularly, and finally came to the conclusion that the money was be ing devoted to charity. The wedding day was set for next month, and an ex tended tour was contemplated. Un fortunately, the young lawyer recently took a "flyer" in stocks, and dropped so much money that he had to notify his fiancee that their wedding trip must be dispensed with. The dear girl laughed at him, and, leaving the room for a mo ment, presently returned with a satchel containing 256 silver dollars.

Even with the ladies -little dog were, the' familiar -household pets, and cats Were regarded as almost a royal possession. In Wajes a early as the tenth century . cats were protected . by the government and their value fixed; by law. Before a kitten could x-pen its eyes it was worth a penny; afterward it 'was worth 2, and when it had caught a .mouse" its value rose to 4 pennies. These may seem small prices now, bat they meant a good deal then. Both cats and pennies are -within reach of any one, and the simplest little home may. have' as guard the cat that "once upon a time kept watch in the king's granaries. , In Wales the prince had his store- " houses thus protected, and the following story will show you how the theft of a cat was regarded: One day a small black kitten was missing. It was not very big, but it had caught a mouse, and search -was made at once. It was found in a peasant's hut, and his daughter confessed that she had stolen it from the granary. The child declared that the kitten was frightened by the prince's two great wolf hounds and hud taken refuge with her, and she had not the heart to give it up. The steward had father and' child -brought, trembling with fear, before the prince, who sat ou his throne yawning and stroking his tawny hands. "What is the law?" he asked. "The thief shall pay u full grown ewe with all its fleece," said the steward. Alas! the man was too poor to own sheep. "Failing this, the cat shall be hang up by its tail" Katner hard on tu -at, said the prince, and little Mertha's tears ran down her face. "And the thief shall pay a heap of . grain high enough to reach the very tip of the tail," coutiuu-d the steward. "Then shall we starve," murmured the peasant. "After tolls ami tithes there is so little left." Now the black kitteu was brought into court, and seeing the dogs and its little friend, it bristled up its hair with fear and mewed piteously to Mertha for -succor. "The cat hath chosen the child," said the prince carelessly. "I will remit the fine and give her the animal for her own." This law is still found among the old Welsh statutes, but it is no longer en forced. Cleveland Plain Dealer. SPREADS LIKE WILD FIPJ. You can't keep a good thing down.. News of it travels fast.
