Eger, 6659 Halsted St. (6-7) In regard to love we hear expres- iloos like these: "Love rules all." "All the world loves a lover." "A maid should obey the dictates of heart." "Love laughs at locksmiths." And others too numerous to mention. Perhaps the first one Is the best Joke of the lot. Love rules all! That Is one of the funniest things you ever heard! Some even go so far as to think children can be ruled by love. It has been seen in practice.

This is the way it works: "Come, now Johnnie. Come, dear." Not a budge from Johnnie. "Come on, darling. Mamma wants you to come now, sweetheart. Come on." Nothing stirring.

"Johnnie must come now. Johnnie be a good boy. Mamma will give Johnnie a cookey tomorrow." "Donwanto," "Oh, yes, you must come! It is getting late now. Come on, dear." Johnnie doesn't. "Come on, now, Johnnie.

You must come. Mamma's tired of waiting. Mamma spank!" Johnnie still unconvinced. Whack! Whack! Whack! Johnnie comes. "All the world loves a lover!" Another joke.

What do we love about him? Perhaps the florist and candy man love him, and that's about the extent of it. In the olden days when the lover did a great deal of sighing and desperate hair pulling and provided entertainment for the neighbors by eloping with the girl once in a while, people felt mildly grateful for the show. But it hardly amounts to love. And certainly his serenading beneath her lattice was more likely to brttg brickbats than demonstrations of affection. "A maid should obey the dictates of her heart," is rather good.

Some people evidently adhere to the belief that "there in a heart that heaven has made for thee," or they have faith in the text of some humorous ballad. IJut, as most of us know, when a fellow has special talents in the love making line, aao tltne and inclination to perfect hi9 he can make any girl think he is one to furnish the heart that "heaven has made for thee;" whereas, men who have neither time nor talent nor inclination in that direction must unloved and unsung, and the latter kind of man could carry seven or eight nf the former kind in is vest pocket Sometimes the young woman must choose between a college professor and a saloon keeper. One can give her social position and car fare; the other an electric hrougham and a pink plumed bonnet. It is hard decide in such a case, Th? dictates of her hear', are led in ono direction by the ostrich plumes, and in the other by the proupect of having a hat, off and al home expression at a college commencement--a very great thing, indeed, and a thing to create heart longing. "Love laughs at locksmiths!" An ancient joke! Girls do not elope by ladder any more.

If they did the father would probably furnish the ladder. Miss Alice Thorne of 437 65th PL was hostess to the club yesterday afternoon. Mr. tuul Mrs. W.

The besom was held by the father of the bridegroom or bride, and first the young man jumped over It, and then the young woman, whereupon the Official would make some such remark aa, "Now you are married." Gypsies invariably marry at an early age, and as the parents are loath to lose their daughters, the girl frequently runs away with the young man of her choice. In numbers of cttsea there is no marriage ceremony. Only people who have lost their character There should be no stone left unturned to prevent the building of the street railway loop on Emerald Ave. It is a straight out steal to profit a few real estate speculators and save the company a few dollars at the expense of the good people who own homes on that street. The "backers" of the scheme are selfish in the matter, and they will be remembered when the time comes.

Alfred Pope related a story communicated to him by the novelist. The story concerned Mr. Hardy's grandfather, and told how one night he outwitted two men who were bent on robbing him. He sat down on a furze faggot, placed his hat (on which he had previously put a number glow worms) on his knees, stuck two fern fronds on his head to represent horna, pulled from his pocket a letter he chanced to have with him, and began reading it by the light of the glow worms. In a few days there was a rumor in the neighborhood that the devil had been seen at midnight reading a list of hia victims by glow worm Evening Standard.

Fisher assisted by real estate and street railway interests forced the building of a "loop" for the company at Emerald Ave. and 79th St. through the city council Monday night. The matter will be taken to the courts at once and Aid. Fisher has bred one of the worst fights any alderman ever had as his chance for re-election next spring will be nil.

He was a business partner of one of the men most interested and has been fighting for the loop against the wishes of the people for several years, and while It is a long way from settlement, is safe to say Fisher has dug his political grave very deep. Auburn Park, June 1st, 1912. Ed. Monitor: At a mass meeting recently held and "packed" in the interests of the street railway company, to build their loop in Emerald Ave. and destroy the value of property there, Aid.

Fisher said: "You got Aid. Rea's head, and I suppose you will get mine next spring, but I'm going to put in this loop before you do so." Does the alderman hope to retire; or does he defy the voters and people of the Park? We have elected him many times and are sorry that the genial Albert should fall from in the last days.

go Into a church to be married, eald one of the Hearnea. Incidentally he mentioned that German gypsies like to have their children baptized as often as possible, and the practice of successive baptism la not unknown in England. In both England and Germany the food of a gypsy must on no account be touched by a woman's dress. On one occasion, said Mr. Thompson, he was having tea with a family when a boy of 16 hurled back a piece of bread at his mother because she had afiowed It to touch her dress while she was cutting it.

She remarked he was right not to eat it and she gave it to the dog. The gypsy held very strong views on the value of chastity. As recently as 1875 an old Suffolk gypsy said the ancient punishment for immorality was burial alive, and he described a certain spot where, as a boy, he saw a girl undergo tlrls punishment. The corpse of a gypsy is usually carried to the grave by the themselves, and the day after the funeral everything which had belonged to the dead, except money, is destroyed. Three vans had been burned during the last year.

The harness and everything was placed in the van, soaked with paraffin and set on fire, and the ashes and the parts that could not be burned were buried, or, preferably, thrown Into a river or the sea. Crockery was broken and the fragments dropped from a ferry into the Mersey; in another case the unburned portions of a gypsy's belongings were carried miles in order to be dropped into the Tyne. Only three months ago, on the death of a baby a few months old, the family burned practically a new wagon which bad cost The custom of destroying everything was due to the gypsies' fear that unless this were done the ghost of the dead person would return and haunt It. "By the oath of my dead grandfather" Is the most sacred oath a gypsy can Chronicle. BONUS OFFERED FOR TEETH Unusual Activity to Collect Falte In Massachusetts County Follows.
