Certainly the heart of Ihis lad from the slate of Cole Blease is loo big for his body. This big-heartedness has won for him Ihe hearty esteem of all those who know him.

We rather ihink. though, that his future lies in his marriage lo some rich beauty and a consequent life of ease and indolence, so suited to his nature.
