THE
ENGAGED MAN
ELLEN
Things He Has
When a mnn honors n. girl by choosing
her cut of the whole wide world nfl the
ono belwr with whom ho desires to
foml tho rest of his nnturnl life and
when she accepts his proposal nnd be
comes ctigaged to him, there arc certain
things which ho has a right to expect
from her.
They may not bo many, they may not
be dltllcult of accomplishment, but alt
the same If ho has nny manliness In him
nt all he ought to sco that these things
ho does cot.
The Mrst of these Is courtesy, tt Is a
etrangc and rather dreadful thing that
many women Imagine that to bi rude to
ward their nances, to slight them publicly
and to inn It c fun of them before strangers
are sure signs of feminine Independence
and smartness,
I have known glrla who woro really
crassy about their llnnces. who thought
that the universe circled around them and
whose whole hopes were centred In them,
treat them In a manner that any living
person would resent thoroughly. tn
private, these girls showed tho greatest
affection and devotion. Thoy were model
wcethcarts, kind, loving, considerate,
gentle. But In public they wero rude.
sharp-tongued and thoroughly Imperti
nent. "Sho doesn't mean all she says," said
an engaged mnn recently. In wpeaklng of
the glil of his heart. "Her bark li really
worse than her bite, you know. Mary l
n. nervous sort of girl nnd very sensitive.
Sho Is afraid that people will see how
much sho really likes me. And ho sho
adopts that sharp, "don't-care" attltudo
whenever wo go about together In public.
Yes, of course, I feel It. Any man would!
But I can't get Mary to give It up. Sho
thinks It Is the right attitude to take be
fore outsiders. 'No girl should uear
her henrt on her sleeve, for all the world
to see,' she said to me only yesterday.
Mary has the best heart In the world,
and I don't like to hurt her feelings by
pointing out her rudencrH to her. Yet
all the same I would give a good deal If
she were a little moro considerate of in;
before her friends. A man hates to look
a fool and that's how I feel."
The man who allons himself to be
treated In this way Is 1-ij lug up trouble for
himself. For ho can rest nssured that If .1
woman is shnrp-tongucd before marriage,
even though the displav or sharpness be
only In public, and that privately she
be all that Is deMied. she will develop Into
n nagging, unpleasant person who will
render his life thoroughly miserable.
For she has failed dreadfully In the
courtesy and good feeling which are es
sential to a love affair She Is unworthy
of a man's love.
N'o engaged man should tolerate dis
courtesy on the part of his fiancee, lie
should come to an understanding with
her that any such display must cease, or.
as an alternative, that the engagement
must cease. She will soon make her
choice.
The engaged man has a right to expect

But the Humpty Dumpty circus clown

been left when the children stopped play

pricked up both his cars and listened.
"Clunklty elanklty clank!" repeated
the gomme: "If somebody don't talk to

"Dear me. don't do anything as rash as

ADAIR
a Right to Expect
a ccrialn pioportlon of his Ilnnceo's time.
While not giving up her own friends nnd
her former Interests, she should put him
first and to n certain extent bend her
wishes to his.
The caso frequently arises where both
the man and the glil have been thorough
ly spoiled by fond parents and families
all their lives, and whero neither wishes
to mold hH or her ways to those of the
other. Things become dreadfully com
plicated mid '(uarrcls arise.
Now the Very esicneo of a happy en
gagement is the spirit of "give nnd lake."
The man must sacrifice his wishes some
times In those of the girl nnd the girl
must bo prepared to do likewise.
It Is hnrd for a spoiled and petted
dauglitei to consult her fiance on matters
In which aha has formerly hiul sole say.
Hut he has n right to epecl that she will
consult him, nnd consult him she some
time-! must If she wishes to keep his af
fection, Tho engaged man has n right to expect
Hint the girl who has promised to many
him wilt discard all her former lovo
affairs nnd confine her nlfcctlons to him
alone.
Strange ns It may seem, hundreds of
girls fall In this. They may he exceed
ingly fond of thplr fiances, but at the
same time they find occasional flirtations
with other mey,both stimulating nnd en
tertaining. amT-flicj are loth to diop'the
old admirers out of the running.
While there Is no rensou why the en
gaged girl should discard hci malo friends
and their society, there Is every reason
why she should dlscaid those of the num
ber who seek to make love to her. Her
fiance has a light to demand that sho
shall do this, and If she values his affec
tion at all, tho sooner sho complies with
his wishes In the matter, the better for
herself.
Wit, Women and Wisdom
A woman will alwnys know moro than
a man, hut she will take ciro always
to seem to know less.
Never my what you mean, unless you
mean what jou don't say.
The good-intcntloned woman Is ono of
life's mistakes.
Moderation Is love's safety brake.
The beginning of wisdom Is by no means
the end of it.

"That's too bnd." said the clown;
"you've missed a great deal of pleasure.
Why don't jou laugh?"
"Hecnuso there is nothing to laugh at."

"No reason at nil," said the clown: "I

THE DAILY STORY
Cupid and the Committee
"Do you draw up resolutions nnd
things?" asked Kate Masters eagerly.
"No," scorned Mntlc. "You send 11 com
mittee to tho bos nnd tell him wo won't
work nny more."
"I'd rather wrlto," declared Grnco Kel
so "I'd bo scared to death to go In tnero
and talk to him."
"Writing Isn't half as good," declared
Matle. "You Just tell him what tho mat
ter Is nnd that we'll go on etrlkc If Hrom
ley Isn't dismissed, nnd that's nil thcro Is
to It."
"All." repented Kntc. "I should think
It would be enough. Tho Idea of going
right In to Mr. Templo nnd telling him
that wo'ro not going to work nny moro
unlcsi Oromley Is sacked. I'd bo so
scared I couldn't spenk."
"I'm not afraid," snld Mnllo dlsdnln
fully. "I vote that wo mnko Mntlo Lester a
committee nil by herself," suggested
Orncc, nnd the motion wns unnnlmotisty
cnriled without the formality of n, sec
onding. "No, you don't." cried Matle. "I'll do
the tnlktnr. but we unnt a lot of girls
for the committee. It hnn n gbbd effect."
In the end n committee of five wns
appointed mid It was agreed that tho
noon hour the next day would ho tho
proper lime for making tho demand.
Matle lay awnko linlf the night thinking
what she should sny and her argument
wns continued In her drenms.
The 100m wni nil excitement tho next
morning, nnd ns the noon hour nppenrcd
thp evcltemcnt grew mote Intense. Lvcry
girl In the 100m left her lunch untouched
to nccompnnv the rommltfeo on Its er
rand of protest and left them only nt the
beginning of the short hall, nt tho end of
wh'ch was Edwaid Temple's office.
The departure of the escort seemed to
hnve n bad effect on the others, for, no
Matle rapped on tho door nnd a deep volco
responded tho other four girls right
about faced ns by common Impulso and
fled down the passage wa.
For a moment Mntle watched them, dis
mayed. Then with n firm hnnd sho turned
the knob nnd entered tho room. In plnco
of the gray-haired man sho expected to
find the room 'ivni tenanted only by nn
nlert young fellow, who looked up ex
pectantly as she approached.
"I beg your pardon," sho stammered.
"I thought that this was Mr. Temple's
room."
"So It In." lie responded briskly, "and
this Is Mr. Temple. Only It hnppcns that
my father did not come down this morn
ing. An. thing I can do for you? I am
Krnnk Temple "
"I don't know that you'll do," she said
dtiblouslv "You sec, I'm a strike t
mean a strike committee," she corrected.
"A single committee Is rather unusual,"
he smiled. "Do I understand that you
represent the factory7"
"The llnlshlng room," sho explained.
"Thero were live of us, but tho rest ran
away."
"I see," he said gravely, though his
eyes twinkled. "And may t ask tho na
ture of the demands to be made?"
"It's thnt horrid Jim Bromley," sho ex
claimed. "We don't want more money or
anything, but no want n new foreman.
He's lust ns menn ns enn be. Ho wouldn't
have Boss Bradley's mnchlno fixed the
other dav, and when It bioko down and
hurt her hand he docked her for the time
she wis nwnv. He's always fining us for
every l'ttle thing, nnd he's that mean "
Matle 1 pause spoke volumes, nnd her
eyes ndded to the story. Templo grinned.
"I shall have to look Into this," bo
s.ild. "Take a chair please." Ho left
her to herself, but presently ho camo
back with another young man ns clean
cut as nimseir.
"Mr Kverett will look Into the matter,"
said Temple. "Just tell him about tho
mean Mr. Bromley."
"Now- you're laughing at me," said
Matle Indignantly.
"Far from It." ho denied. "Grievance
committees should be treated most
seriously "
"And this Is serious," sho declared,
turning to Everett. Her sense of wiong
sustained gave her eloquence, nnd her
eyes snnppod as sho recited n long tnle
of Bromley's wrongs. Everett listened
attentively, though at times ho and
Templo exchanged sympathetic glances as
somo quaint turn of speech caught their
sense of humor.
"This Is a matter that most certainly
should be looked into." he said. "I do
not believe In lines except as a last
resort. Suppose you help us get at tho
bottom of the trouble?"
'I'm telling you all about It now,"
the ciicd.
"I know," lio agreed "But to get
Bromley right wo shall hove to wait.
Now, If ou will explain to the others
thnt the mntter will be properly sottled
If they will go on as they have been
doing for n week I think wo con hand
a very unpleoaant surprlso to tho enter
prising Mr. Bromley, It appears from
the books that few fines have been turned
In. On account of tho number of em
ployes the envelopes aro mndo up several
days ahead and tho foreman of each de
partment takes out tho lines. Now, on
Saturday make a note of all tho fines,
bring the envelopes to me and wo will
mivo me matter straightened out
Matle looked him squarely In the eye
"Do you really metin that?" sho do.
manded.
"Most certainly," ho assured. ,
"Shake hands on It." she demanded.
Evelott blushed as Ills fingers closed over
tho smaller hand und lingered there
Matle went back to tho room with a.
sense of importance. Word was passed
along that it wns all right and to meet
on me curner alter tne ractory closed
There was a babel of voices ns the plot
was unfolded and when, at last, the Im
promptu meeting ndjourned, Everett wan
lingering thero.
"I saw Ci crowd forming," he laughed,
ns he fen nto step beside Matle," and
I waited to hear the outcome."
She tucked her hand through tho prof
fered nrm and together they went down
the street.
The next night Everett was waiting
again and ea on until Saturday, when
at tho noon hour the girls were paid off
There wero the usual heavy fines marked
on the envelopes nnd Matle formed a
line and marched off to the ofnee. Brom
ley had nlready turned back to the
cashier the fines he had collected, but a
rapid computation showed that the en
velopes and the statement to the cashier
developed a discrepancy of more than
$10. The foreman had been detained In
tho offlce on a pretext, and when ho left
the building It was In company with a
blue-coated official, and the girls lin
gered on the corner to hold a Jubilee
over the downfall of their enemy,
"Who's going to be cashier now?" de
manded one of the celebrants. Matle
grew red,
"I'm to be In charge for a little while."
she said, "Mr, Everett arranged that
last night."
"That's too bad," said one of the jrfrls.
"Why, please?" demanded Matle hotly,
"We won't have any one to speak for
us when we want to go on strike against
you,"
''That's so," laughed one of the others,
"All the ether girls on the committee ran
away."
"I guess I bliall not be In charge long
enough for you to get sore on pie," said
Matle Importantly, "I'm to be married
after Easter."
"This was news Indeed and the girls
crowded eagerly about her. For a mo
ment she fought oft their questioning,
but at last she faced them defiantly.
"I'm going to be married to Mr. Ever
ett. If you have to know," she said.
"That's what ou get for being the
committee." said one of them enviously.
"Well." reminded Matle, "there's four
of ou that can't say you didn't have a
chance, and I don't mind telling you that
I'm gUU you dldn t take it Jim Everett
is worth Interviewing the President him
self for "

her young man became acquainted with

when ho got back to America ho could

wouldn't part with it for any money.
Then, when tho wnr broko out, ho hur

VALUABLE PAMPHLETS
"DISCOVERED" IN BAG
First Printing in Samoan
Language Reposed in Satchel
at Science Academy.
"School Satchel"; Specimen No. 10,615.
For more than GO years priceless pam
phlets, tho first printing In tho Samoan
language, havo lain hidden Insido the
llttlo woven straw bag reposing Innocent
ly beneath a card with the foregoing
inscription In ono of tho cases of the
Academy of Nntural Sciences. 10th and
Haco streets. Not until William Church
Ill, of New York, probably tho greatest
authority on South Pacific ethnology, ac
cidentally picked up tho basket and
looked Into It, a few days ngo, did the
authorities know they had In tho mu
seum specimens which wero worth twlco
their weight In 5 notes.
Nino llttlo books, printed on tho press
of tho London Missionary Society and
carried to Samoa In ISM, make up tho
hidden collection, which Is tho first print
ed Samoan In existence. All tho pam
phlets aro translations of tho Bible nnd
hymns. Some aro folded, somo are
bound and sewed, while others are more
broad sheets. But In each case. If the
nrtlcles wero placed up for auction, the
bidding would start at not less than
J1000, according to 4Ir. Churchill.
"I probably havo the most complete
collection of Samoan bibliography In the
world," Mr. Churchill snld. "I am fn
mlllnr with nil the libraries In tho world
that havo litcraturo on this subject. If
there had been nny other Buch pam
phlets In existence I would have heard
of them. I should bo perfectly willing
to buy them for their weight in 5 notes,
plus tho weight of tho basket, and I
would still have a bargain."
Mr. ChurchtU was United States Consul'
General to Samoa In President Cleve
land's second administration, nnd under
President McKlnley.
The collection of Samoan and other
South Pacific articles In the Academy
was given by Titian R. Peale, of this
city, who was nrtlst for the expedition
sent out from Norfolk, Va In 1S37.
