THE EDITOR'S WIFE, Great was the consternation when flstt rumor was circulated through the afflc that Harding was to be married 'etually married to a woman," as Wklns remarked, la a voice of mingled pttj ami contempt, as be imparted the news to Judkins, the night editor. Every one was disgusted, for wasn't anting the exclusive property of the AAvorate's men? And to share him with any woman vaa beyond all question. "Fun's all up," dolefully remarked Jodkins, as he burled his hands deep to his pockets, and blessed his stars for Mb own unattached condition. "Just imagine Harding's rooms with woman in 'em," In a voice of utter contempt. "No more midnight gather ings there, my boy; no Welsh rarebit, aa cards, with a seasoning of smoke ah, hang It, no nothing. Tidies, and ribbon, and bric-a-brac, and goodness teows what, wherever you step. Just a, little call, and 'Good evening, Mrs. Harding; uo, can't stop, have an as signment,' and off, leaving Harding trying to look happy, with a silk scarf twisted round his neck, and his feet plumb up aealutit some other work of art. Hang It, what is the man think ks of?" and Judkins started up as if be would go to the protection of his misguided fellow editor. Bat that sume misguided young man senied in no apparent need of protec Qon, for he laughed and Joked with be boys In his old-time manner, and when Judklns's dismal prognostica tions were related to him his amuse ment knew no bounds. Then and there bar Invited them to Just come up and My when he was married, for "I'll warrant you," he sold, "that Mrs. II. wiB prove a strong rival to my box of Arcadian mixture, to which Edkins is aa attached, and every blessed one of joa will wish you were in my shoes before the first evening Is over, for" wmd here Harding, for the first time In Bte history of the office, descended to Bte trite and commonplace "she Isn't Ike other girls, you know she " Bat here an explosion of pent-up wrath burst from the group, and Harding was suddenly ejected from See office, and as he stared blankly at Bsc closed doors, behind which came asost undignified sounds, he was beard b murmur: "I wonder what I said," which goes to prove that even a callous editor is ame times human. e e But this was all a year ago. Now Harding was safely married. The boys were sure of that. As a proof of their dwvotlon they had suffered themselves to appear in evening dress at the wed tUng; had been properly presented to be bride as "the boys, you know," and after paying due attention to the pretty bridesmaids, they bad retired to the Bee, and there held secret conclave ewer glasses and pipes, and there early wrplng bad found them, still wonder tog bow any sane man could be so In line as Harding had been. r e e JCow things were different. "She kn't like other women," Judkins had atluctiuitly admitted after their first 3 ' "She really isn't, you know; and I s, after all, it won't be so bnd. Ihc's almost one of us, you know, only Show better and sweeter, and all and I shouldn't wonder if we'd batter ease up a little on Harding." And so, to quote Judkins, she was aImo8t one of them." Harding's rooms had never seemed a hospitable as now, his big chairs aver so tempting, and nights when the boys couldn't drop In for a mo mant's chat, at least, were off nights with them. "I tell you It braces a fellow up," Ed Uaa explained, in apology, the second time Judkins found him there. "She's so awfully Interested in all that we do, you know, and gives a fel low lots of tips. She ought to be on the paper herself, and I told her so, Bat, bless you, she blushed, and asked if I didn't think that she was better adapted to making chocolate, and banded me a cup, Jimt as I like it, and aa no one else on earth can make it but he." "That finished you, old boy, of course," and Judkins laughed. "But, honestly, you're right. Hard tag has Improved wonderfully, and jour pet column has gone up 60 per cent., and the society stuff isn't half aa tame. "We're almost up to the Vindicator now, and if It wasn't for the confound ed coops they get on us we'd load the town; but I say, Ed" and here Jud kins paused and glanced down the Street, aa If he feared the approach of some one "It seems kind of mean to say It, but did you ever think that Harding isn't just square with his wife, but makes deals with that wo man en the Vindicator staff? iNc I'm not crazy," as bis compan ion stopped short and faced him. "I've been looking this thing up, and If It wasn't for Mrs. H. I'd give the town the biggest sensation In years. "It would mean discharge to Hard lug and promotion to me, and, hang it, St It Isn't a temptation. 11 ut there Is that wife of Mil vnehow" and ho spoke slowly "somehow I don't like to hurt her. "Oh I yea, I've got facts," as Edkins started to Interrupt blm. "Mat upset the waste basket en my desk one morning, and didn't pick all the scraps up, and there on my desk was a letter Signed 'Palsy.' Thought I'd have a chance to guy some of you fellows, ho I read It. "'Twas from the editorial room of the Vindicator, and was addressed to Harding, and said, 'Meet me nt 1 lu the park. I must see you. Daisy.' "You could have knocked me flat, but I followed It up by sending a boy to follow Harding. I knew enough not to follow him myself, and he cuinu back with a full aoaount of Harding meeting a veiled lady In the park, and they stood for a Ious time In a seclud ed spot talking very eagerly, and Harding held her hand, and, as the boy expressed It, looked 'sweet' nt her. "Then I put that with the fact that Harding was the only one who could get an interview with the Vindicator on that Maybee affair, and every one knows that the power behind the throne there Is a womnu. And It strikes me that we have a pretty plain va.se. Harding Is struck on the girl, and she is playing with him for the benefit of the Vindicator. "See, my boy?" Edkins drew a deep breath. "Yes, I see what-you suy, and If It's true, by Jingo, Judkins, we'll thrash Harding, that Is all. "I'm off," and Edkins departed with on abruptness that was unusual, even to that eccentric Individual. The story grew, as It was whispered from man to man, and there was nn uneasiness in the little circle that was wout to gather at the Hardlngs', for nil save Harding and his wife were acutely conscious of what the others were thinking. They alone were bright and cheery. But the plot deepened as young Fos ter, who had been simply tolerated ns a clever young fellow by the older men, became a frequent caller at the Hardings. "The boy Is In love," was the verdict of the older men, "and now we're In a mess, and how are we going to get out of It?" Affairs were In this condition when one night Judkins and Edkins reached the Hardings' earlier than usual to find Harding very ill at ease, and his wife's face flushed and her eyes bright. There was an awkwardness for a few moments, which even Mrs. Hard ing, with her quickly recovered com posure, was unable to dlspeL Suddenly, without the least cere mony, the door opened and young Fos ter walked In. He hardly noticed the men, but walked straight to where Mrs. Hard ing sat in her low chair by the tea table, and, kneeling down beside her, he caught her hand In his and raised it to his lips. The faces of the men wore a puzzled expression, and Judkins burst out, "It's time this thing was cleared up! For heaven's sake, Harding, what is it all about?" "This is what It's all about," young Foster's manly voice rang out, with out giving his superior editor a chance to speak. "It means that you are on old duffer, Judkins, with your clues and your sto ries, and all that Harding here is the only sane man on the paper. "The nice little story you trumped up Is all bosh, for here Is your Vindicator girl whom Harding Is struck on," and he smiled down Into the face of Editor Harding's wife. "Yes, you fellows," he continued, "this Is your 'girl' who managed all the scoops, and 'played with Harding' for the information she got. "She's the smartest newspaper wq man In this country, and the best woman In the world. "Do you know what she has done? "No, of course you don't; you've been to busy ferreting out your mys tery. "Well, every blessed one of those scoops you thought stolen she worked out for herself, and had it all In copy before you ever dawdled here and gos siped about It "And when she might have had the biggest scoop of all, and been known the country over, and had her price for It all, she gave It up, gave up her position on the Vindicator, all because It touched the honor of one of our men. As she told the managing editor, when she absolutely refused to give the names he asked: " "I have been an editor, but, thank God, before I was that and, despite of It, I have been a woman also, and I am Editor Harding's wife, and I will not betray the good nnme of one of his men.' " The strong voice broke. "It was my father's name," he continued, "and now my father Is dead." There was a silence for a moment Then It was broken by the sweet voice of Editor Harding's wife. "You take two lumps, I believe, Mr. Edkins? You see I remember." e e e "Which goes to show," said Judkins, ns they trudged home an hour later, "that really 'she Isn't like other women'."

A Process la Wklefc We Fig-meats or Col ore A Washes are I'ted. The London - Times says a private exhibition was given a day or two ego of some of the results obtained by the new process of color photography Whk-h has been devised bja Cornish man, Mr. Benoetta. The methods and Indeed the principle employed, remain !he secret of the Inventor, and It Is In ended that they shall remain so until several more details and applications of the Invention have been more fully worked out. All that Is at present known Is that the Inventor, who has been oceuptdtl with the subject for the lost eight years, claims to have dis covered the first true and direct sys tem of color photography by which can be transformed to a photographic negative and thence printed on glass or paper the exact natural colors of the object toward whtch the camera has boon directed. He employs no pigments, his plates have net to be washed with various colored solu tions, and it is not necessary to view his picture) through any combinations of tinted glasses. The colors nre im printed on the plate just as nre the light and shade la on ordinary mono chrome photograph and are directly visible to the eye. It majr be men tioned that Mr. Bcnnetto In his curli est experiments could get no effects with a less exposure than three min utes; now he Is able to work with ex posures of sixteen seconds. Whatever may have been the meth ods used, the pictures produced by them attain a high standard of excel lence. One of the best specimens shown was a study of a sunrise, ta ken early one morning In the middle of June, 1803, In which the fiery orange of the dawn and the heavy masses of clouds were admirably represented. The clouds, again, were excellent In a typical picture of Cornish seashore scenery, nnd the tints of the sand and rocks and their refiectiona In the pools were faithfully reproduced. On the other hand, In some pictures flowers were rather lacking in lustre. Possi bly this is a question of exposure. Perhaps the picture which best Illus trated the capabilities of the process was one of a champagne bottle stand ing on a white tablecloth and sur rounded with various fruits. Here there were three or four different whites which were all distinguishable, but which it would probably have taxed the powers of any artist to rep resent by painting. The gold foil on the bottle was exactly rendered, and It was possible to tell that it was full by the prismatic gleam of the liquid. The one unsatisfactory thing lu the picture was a spoon, whose sparkle was quite lost; It looked ns if it might have been made of cardboard, covered with dull silver paper. The Inventor looks forward, among other things, to revolutionizing by. this process the Il lustration of books and magazines, and hopes to show In the future how to flash a picture on a screen so that a permanent copy may be left behind. Hnntlns; Down South. The most patient man on earth and the most uncommunicative is the cracker of Florida, I employed one to go with me and carry my traps on a deer hunt. I had been informed that there were plenty of of the animals near a certain swamp. I accosted a native: "I am Informed that there are deer in this section?" "Ynas." "Are there?" "Yaas." "Can I hire you to carry my lug gage?" "Yaas." We got ready, and I asked: "What direction?" "Don't keer." We tramped all day, cracker carry ing the traps and not saying a word. We camved out at night the cracker building a fire and cooking supper. The next day we found no indication of deer, and still the cracker said nothing. That night I asked: 'How soon do you think we will find any deer?" "Never." "I thought you said there were plenty?" "Not hyar." "Well, where are they?" "T'other side swamp." "Why didn't you say so long ago?" I asked, angrily. "Yo' never axed me." The next morning we retraced our steps and two days later reached the other side of the swamp without an other word from the cracker. We had not been there an hour In-fore I killed a fine buck, and we secured four the first day. It was a beautiful hunting ground, and I was surprised to sud denly come upon a large residence. I could not understand how the deer remained so close. "Who lives there r I asked the cracker. "Jedge Simmons." "Who Is he?" "The man as owns this park and these deer." I did not wait to interview the Judge, but paid the cracker and left that part of the State. New York World. A Misnomer. The stage manager was thoughtful.

It was after the medical association had adjourned the other night that the gruff old doctor called'ln several of his professional brethren Into a corner and told his story. "Never had a pleosanter cose In my life," he chuckled. "You know what a big, powerful fellow Sems Is. Never was sick a day, and has always de rided the Idea that pain was a thing to make such a fuss over as Is made by some people. Even his wife and chil dren never got any sympathy from him, and he was always ready to give them a going over for not displaying more stoicism. "Tuesday morning about 2 o'clock there was a terrific ringing at my tel ephone. On answering It I was urged by an ngltAtod voice to hurry to Sems as quickly as possible. It was a case of life and death. Getting there post haste, I found that great btg fellow walking the floor In his night robe, groaning so that he could be heard anywhere in the block, growling out orders to the whole household, looking pale as a ghost, and stopping every few minutes to bold up one foot while he howled. His head was enveloped In towels, and one rtde of It steamed with hot poultices. He sailed Into me for not getting there sooner, said that half the people died while waiting for a doctor, Jawed bis wife because she hadn't sense enough to tell him that he had no slippers on, and then told her to call a lawyer so he could put his affairs into shape. I vetoed this until we found out whether there was anything the matter. "'Anything the matter l' echoed Sems. 'Great Heavens! man, the side of my head's com4ng off. I can't last till daylight In this torture. No mor tal ever suffered such agony. If you're going to do anything, do it quick. My own opinion la that I'm done for,' and he let out the loudest howl of the night. What do you think was the matter with the big calf? Earache; Just common, old-fashioned earache. His little girl had hod it worse and gone to school with a piece of cotton in her ear.

Detroit Free Press. A SHREWD TRICK. , Which Helped the Excavator In Digging Their Trench. People in ireneral cannot tindarstand the doings of a student of nature. Es pecially quite Ignorant persons are apt to conclude, when told that the objects of his search are fossils or minerals, that under this explanation is con cealed the purpose of securing some burled treasure, for that Is the only thing that would induce them to dig. Mr. A. L. Adams relates an amusing instance of this reasoning: While excavating a large cavern on the southern coast of Malta, we had dug a trench In the soil on Its floor some six feet In depth, In quest of or ganic remains. Tho natives in the vi cinity, hearing of our presence, came In numbers daily to witness the pro eeedings, Interrogating the workmen with reference to the object of our re searches, of which the workmen were about aa Ignorant as themselves. One afternoon three stalwart fellows paid us a visit and whilst they Bat on the heap of dirt storing down into the dark ditch below, I dropped a Spanish dollar on a shovelful of earth, and the next moment It lay with the soil on the heap. Picking It up In a careless manner, I put it Into our luncheon bag, and a few minutes afterward our friends disappeared, muttering to one aaotner as they went. Great was our amusement the next morning to find that our trench hml been carried fully four feet below the level we had gained on the previous evening. Not only that; several other excellent sections of the floor had been made by the natives to, expectation of finding burled treasure. Accepted Her Suggestion. She looked up Into his eyes pleading ly.

"Wages ilust Come Down-" Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, one of the bituminous coal kings, and a great Republican champion of pro tection, declared, in a recent inter view, that "the coal miners' wages must come down." This is a pretty declaration to be made at a time when a high tariff is being pushed through Congress for the pretended reason of increasing the wages of the working people. And in view of the fact that the bituminous coal miners are getting scarcely enough to keep them lrom starving, what is the amount that Elkins thinks they should be brought down to ? I' their pay were made any less they would work for nothing. Why does Senator Elkins think that the pay of the miners should be lower? It is for the reason, as he declares, that "wages in America stand in the way of any revival of business." Ac cording to his view business will not recover as long as working men receive the wages they are now getting. -al" tal can't stand such a drain. This is a different story from that which was told on the stump befo the last election. Then the working men were assured that by voting fr McKinley they would secure the pass age of a tariff that would ensure them good wages and make the country prosperous. Now they are told by Elkins that business can be revived and prosperity restored only Dy te' ducing the pay of the working people x.
