Clever men do seem
to have an odd pref
erence for stupid
women; there Is no
getting away from
that fact; not all
clever men, of course,
but quite a number
of them. And U does
seem Inexplicable.
For the women whom
they marry not only are without brains,
but very frequently quite devoid of looks
aim. One can readily understand a
clever man being attracted by the
eharms, however shallow, of a pretty
faoe for all men are human, and beauty,
U Shakespeare Informs us, draws us by
a tingle halrl Dut why clever men
should Incline to marry tho brainless and
homely type of woman seems a mystery.
"Homely, stupid women are so rest
full" declared a business man In dis
easing this very point, recently. "When
man comet home tired at night after
a hard days work, he doesn't want to
have to listen to some learned disserta
tion on Bernard Shaw's latest essay or
the philosophy of some Russian savant.
He wants peace and the average stupid
woman wilt give him peace.
'In addition to this," he continued, "If
he Is homely, then he need never be
worried, with Jealous fears nor spend
'his office hours In wondering what par
ticular cavalier Is dancing attendance on
her now, I would not marry a pretty
woman for worlds because other men
would admire her, too, and probably turn
her head with flattery after marriage.
If not before."

Such a standard of necessary requi

and n marriage along these lines must
Indeed be a dull, prosy affair. I question
very much If a marriage of this sort
could ever be happy. Certainly It Is de
void of all Interest, all real companion

happiness Is based on a very genuine
companionship.
"The average clever man Is only really
clever In the eyes of his wife'" declared
an authority on the subject. "To other

grow sick of him."
There Is some truth
underlying theee rather
exaggerated statements.
For stupid women often
make splendid audi

fact that wo all
admire In others what
we most lack In ourselves. Hence the
woman sans brains believes her com

lar mine of wisdom and looks upon him
with remarkable deference and respect.

THE DAILY STORY
Light Opera
Florence Mabley was engaged to Phillip
Chope. She was a fair-looking girl and a
general favorite In social circles, and she
had a good voice for tinging.
Young Sir Chope was the foreman of a
department of hit father's factory. Ho
wasn't like other young men of the town.
He didn't play pool nOr cards, nor put
on anv canicular style as to dress. He
had been dubbed "Old Steady" when he i
was II, He loved solid reading and there ,
were problems In mechanics that he was i
anxious to solve. '
When It became known that he and
Florence Mabley were engaged the major
ity of the young folks said: "Why don't !
sho marry a man of 40 and be done with
It 7"
There are two things that heaps of girls
hnve made fools of themselves oveh and i
others will do so while time lasts. They
either come tn believe that they were
born to become a great actress or a j
famous singer. Miss Florence Mabley be- j
lloved In the latter
"What a pit that you don't go to Bos- ,
ton and have your volco cultivated so
that you can sing In light opera "
The wedding had been eet tor six weeks ,
hence, when a stranger arrived In the ,
town. The advent of a stranger was no
novelty, but this stranger was about 30
j cars old, rather distinguished, and came
on an errand that brought him In con
tact with the people at once. Mr, George
Swift was an agent of tho great Uni
versal Fire and Life Insurance Company.
When he had prevailed upon the four
leading merchants to Insure, the rest was (
simple. When he had called at every
business place the doors of all the pri
vate houses were open to him. It so
happened that on the first day of his ar
rival Mr, Swift met Mlas Florence on
tho street, arid he saw her two or three
times subsequently before calling at tho
house to see about Insurance. The girl
was singing and playing the piano when
he arrived. He had an object beyond In
surance In making a good Impression,
and he said to tho mother before his
presence was known to the daughter:
"What a sweet and wonderful volcel"
"Yes?"
"Is It a professional singer?"
"Oh, no. It Is my daughter,"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
And when he came to Introduce him
self to Miss Florence he said: "You must
hnvo been told that you ought to have
your voice trained?"
"Yes, many times."
"You should go to Boston or New
York."
"I do want to."
"But she can't." put In the mother;
"It's too expensive."
"Yes. If you don't know the ropes,"
smiled Mr. Swift.
"How tho ropes?"
"The first step Is to find a home. I
have a married sister living in New
York. She ns taken pupils of the con
servatory at half price on my recommen
dation." "That's nice, mother," said Miss Flor
ence. '.'And I know the officials of the conser
vatory, and all the teachers. In fact, I
am a stockholder, nnd that means a sav
ing of one-half to any one I recommend."
"I have been told that it would cost
more than $1000 a year," replied Mrs.
Mabley.
"To the general pupil, yes; to one I
recommend about iXO."
"Hear that, mother?"
"It don't seem possible!"
"There are Ave lady pupils of mine now
going through, and the cost to them Is
even less than that."
"Why, mother, you ought to let me start
tomorrow!"
"It Is kind of you, sir," said the mother
to Sir. Swift, "but my daughter Is to be
married In a few weeks."
"Ah!"
"She couldn't put that off, you know."
"But I would, mother!" exclaimed
Florence.
Mr. Swift had no more to Bay on the
subject He talked Insurance, and he
talked it so well that he talked J5 out of
the. mother. When he left he said that it
was mthf'lemiofor a'stranger to en
tertairinhlmsetfv:in aTstrhnge' town. The
hint was taken and he was'tnvlted to call
any evening.-
Mr. Chope ,;wa-:irifdrmenof the agent's
call, ani what ihe had said bout Miss
Florence's -volcte'and theVrates she wag to
get If shti took tranlri&na ho quietly
replied:
"Don't, get excited over 11. I believe
tho Universal Insurance Company Is a
fraud, and I believe this man Swift knows
It is."
"Then he must be a fraud!" bristled
up Miss Florence.
"I think he isl"
"I shculdn't a bit wonder If he was."
said the mother, "and I am eorry I paid
him that J5."
"Phillip Chope, you are as mean as
dirt," exclaimed the gorl; "and, mothor,
I am actually ashamed of you!"
"uo you know thos man Swift?" was
asked of her.
"This man I This man! Why do you
call him this man?"
"Well, let us call him Mr. Swift, then."
"He Is a gentleman."
"Walt a week or so!"
"And he offers to put me through tho
conservatory for half price."
Very kind of him, but why?"
"Because he sees a great future for
me."
"Florence, don't be silly," chlded tho
mother,
"It's you and Phillip who are silly, and
ho Is jealous, besides. He does not want
me to have any future."
"You are to be my wife," he calmly
Bald.
"Perhaps so!"
Mr. Chope saw trouble in the air, and
lie wisely changed the subject and c,ut
short his call. He had hinted that Mr.
Swift was a fraud. He had a detective
at work seeing what could be unearthed
against him, and the prospects looked
good.
Twice more did Mr. Swift call at the
Mabley house, and on the second occa
sion the mother was out. Three days
later a livery stable keeper met young
Mr. Chope on the street and said:
"There's rather mysterious things go
ing on. That Insurance agent Is prepar
ing to skip out tonight."
"You don't say?"
"He has engaged a rig of me for 7;30
to drive over to Monroe to catch the 9
o'clock train for New York. He Is to
drive It himself and leave it at a stable
there,"
"I guess It's time for him to go."
!!J1? J .?ueM h0 win nt eo alone."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll bet that a woman goes with him!"
"Some man's wife?"
'Can't say,"
They had reached the postofflce. and
Mr. Chope entered. Among his mall was
a report from hit detective. The insur
ance company was a fraud and Mr. Swift
a swindler, and there were wrjtten proofs
Mr. Chope was exultant, but all of a
sudden hit smile became a cold chili.
There was a female going with Swift.
Suppose it was Florence Mabley. a boy
wat dispatched to see If the girl wa
home. He came back with the answer
from the mother that Florence had gone
' mam wnn a girl cnum.
"J tee!" tald Mr, Chope, but he

He returned to the atables and ordered
a rig for 7 o'clock, and when the hour
came he drove away without any baggage
except a revolver, H was pacing the
depot platform when Mr. Swift drove up.

w
HEN your teeth penetrate an espe
cially
tasty lobster, one that Is so
good that it makes you talk about it,
there Is a possibility that It was picked
by Mrs. M. C. Pickett.
She knows all about the real lobster,
hl. habits and where the best of his kin
Is found. A few years ago MraPickett
noticed that men were especlally-artlcu-lar
nbout the kind of lobsters they ate.
In fact, they seemed to be more finical
about lobsters than any other .kind of
food. Then tho thought flashed through
her mind "why not, go into the lobster
business?"
When the woman told a few of her clos
est friends about It they shook their heads
and seemed to be sorry for her. It was
ridiculous, some said, to think of making
a living selling lobsters. Then they told
Mrs. Pickett about all tho big sea food
firms that sold lobsters by the thousands.
Sho heard of tho great number of boats
and establishments they had, and many
declared that they owned almost all the
lobster grounds off tho coast of New
England.
But these apparent obstacles only In
creased Mrs. Pickett's determination. She
quietly looked over the lobster market
and the Source of supply and decided to
take a chance.
She opened a little shop on 8th avenue.
New York city. Jt was tastefully ar
ranged. It had none of the disagreeable
features of the avcratro fish and oystor
shop. In fact, everything was so neat
that the best dressed women and men
en'ored It as cheerfully ns they would a
candy of Jeweler's store.
They ngurea mat eucn an auraciive
place would have reliable goods. That
their deductions were correct was evi
dent by the persistent Increase In busi
ness. In keeping with the general aspect
of the place was Mrs. Pickett herseir,
Sho seemed to be always in good humor
and inaugurated a policy of courtesy
which was carried out by her employes.
Even the "grouchlest" kind of a cus
tomer, who thought there wero no more
good lobsters in the sea, usually left
with a smile and a lobster or two.
The proprietress saw that there were
no tired looking or passe lobsters in the
stock. Each crustacean had to stand on
Its merits, and as a result thera was al
ways a lively, kloklng, energetic stock.
Mrs. Pickett also made it a point to be
come thoroughly acquainted with her
business. She took frequent trips to the
best lobster grounds, and saw the lob
sters when they were brought from the
sea In their traps. Therefore, she could
talk "lobsterology" with the exacting
customers who prided themselves on be
ing connoisseurs.
It It small wonder, then, that she soon
required more help. She had to enlarge
the shop. Even then it didn't hold enough

to meet the demand for "Pickett" lob
sters. Finally the proprietors of the best
restaurants and hotels started to besiege
the place. At last Mrs. Pickett had to
get her own crews of lobBter fishermen
and biats. The lobsters persisted In In
creasing their reputations for quality,
and demands started to come in from
other places, despite the alleged control
pf thq sea by l,arger establishments.
'Dealers in other cities and States sam
pled the Pickett lobsters, and orders be
En to pour In for them by the barrel.
While it Is true that the crustaceans
came from the Bca Just like other
ordinary lobsters, they all seemed to bo
tender, and there were no "seconds."
Now Mrs. Pickett has an office force to
help take care of details, and It requires
many wagons to keep the stock moving

BIGGEST CROWD OF

AT ATLANTIC CITY
Thousands Of One-Day Excur

and Sea Breeze Many Vis
itors From Upstate Cities
NO ACCIDENTS ON BIG DAY
Bu " CoTTMpessVft
ATLANTIC CITT, Aug. 23.-A notch
higher In the capacity of this resort was
struck yesterday when the Immense
throng which came here on Saturday
was reinforced by one of the biggest
armies of one-day excursionists that ever
came to this city.
The Pennsylvania Railroad brought
JT sections of excursion trains into the
main depot in the early morning, the first
arriving at 5 o'clock. Kach section was
made up of from 11 to 11 cars, and every
seat was taken on all of them. The
excursions came from Altoona, Williams-'
port, Lewlstown Junction, Harrlsburp
and Hanover, Ta., and from Frederick,
Md.
The trains left those points at midnight
Saturday. Cars from other railroads
were pressed into Bcrvlce, and It was by
far the biggest crowd of people that ever
camo from distant points for a one-day
trip.
In addition to this big crowd, about
JO sections of regular excursion trains,
on the Pennsylvania and Beading were
sent to the Georgia nnd Mlsslppl avenues
terminals. Over f00 parcels were checked
nt one railroad station before 9 o'clock
In the morning, nnd the restaurants were
sorely taxed to provide food for thfe ex
cursionists who had been riding all night.
The trains for distant point left at an
early hour In the afternoon. There were
no accidents, but the regular passenger
service was delayed. $
BUSINESS MEN HAPPT.
Every business man was happy here
yesterday, for the crowds spent their
money freely. The beach Was packed
all day, eating places ran out of food
early In the afternoon, nnd all the amuse
ment places were busy.
In tho early part of the season there
was a howl here because pcoplo did not
spend freely. The August crowds have
shown that they havo confidence In the
future prosperity of the country by
spending their money like the proverbial
drunken sailor. People who came here
from tho Interior of Pennsylvania stated
that business had improved In that sec
tion, that mills and factories of all kinds
were running full time and that money
was plentiful.
Although no exact estimate could be
given of the number of persons hero yes
terday. It was the biggest crowd that At-
