HIS WIFE'S CHUM.
Me liml been married a year and still
found that marital happiness was really
a tangible thing, not the fanciful vapor

to crumble in the dust the highest and
atroucst uiuiueuts brought forward
by cyulcul l.ucbi-lors that marriage la
a failure. Hut yet. with all his devo
tion, be was able to appreciate a pret
ty woman. He kept this appreciation
to li'.iimclf. In a year's time he had
lcuriit-tl ma uy valuable truths of whose
existence lie bad not even cwamed be
fore, line of tliee was that It was far
l.-tt-r for a uiurrlcd inau to keep aome
things to himself and observe a relig
ious sib-nee on others. One subject
upon which lie kept a rclijrtous alienee
was that of praising pretty women In
his wife's hearing;. When he married
her lie thought his wife the most beuu
t:f til creature which the wildest
diviiiiis of a lover's fancy could conjure
up. lint after n year's clistnut associa
tion with her he had bis-n forced to ac
knowledge to himself that there were
others as pretty, aud at last had de
ei.e.I flint some were prettier, but that
none was better or sweeter he never
doubted.

"She w as my cliuiu vhu you cauie to

used to plague us by comic;; in when
we wanted to be alone. Don't you re
iicml,?r?" Jack had a dim recollection of a small
girl w ho used to make herself "too con
foundedly numerous." as Jack had
once said In a moment of exasperation,
but her face he could not call to mind.
So he i:.h1 led aud asked when she was
coming.

kuow. 1 suppose she will take the

do ooine slioppiii. I aji so glad she Is

o er oUI tum-o and, oh. lots of things."
.la. U folded his napkin, got bis grip
und. accuiiipauied by bis wife, walked
to the door which opens on a pretty
jHin li with the woodbine and the vlesv
of the garden and the woods crowning
th? hill. The old familiar scene was
riU' t.-d at parting for the day, and
k went brisk'.y down the path to the
iwd whieh leads to the railroad sta
tion KtifH-d at the gate long enough
t j l,hk back and ware a farewell to the

tiu.e eveay week day. Jak was a

aul already had a fairly good practice
la a profession which la so over-

r. very afternoon at 6:30 the train
acted ba. k from the big, smoky, noisy
it aud A. station, aud every afternoon
at 5 3i Jack entered the last car with
Lis grip and his puper. In the middle
of the week the train was seldom
riowd'-d. and often Jack found himself
ei.ttrely alone for mout of the Jiurney.

blush like tbat?"lti"SD' JafK, as the
ywung lady auddeJ7 became intensely
iotereated In thePwlng landscape.
She turned back agvln aTter a time, but
evidently bad greas difficulty In meet
ing her companion' eyea. Every ref
erence to Boston or Kia vicinity was dis
couraged with restrained confusion.
Jack made some taolful attempts at
getting ber name, but every one was
foiled.
"She's a bright girt said Jack U.
himself, "but what makes ber want to
giggle all tbe time?
The train approached Alton Cesttea
and tbe young lady niade preparations
to leave the train, and wktile It pulled
into the station Jack earned her bag
to the door and wished hen a good-by.
She turned as if to speak to him and
then M down tbe steps.
"She is a mighty pretty gtrjU" mused
Jack as be resumed bis seat. "But
what wonder If I'd better (ay any
thing to Edith about It. No, t won't
no need of It," and be began to read his
piper.
HU wife met blm at tbe gate and bet
face wore a look of disappointment.
"Maud la not coming to-day, Jack,"
she said. "She wrote me that she was
going to atop off to see a friend vand
come on to-morrow on the afternoon
train. Isn't It mean, after all my peep
a ratio na, too?'
Jack thought It was, and the subject
dropped. In tbe evening they went
over the Van Pluys' to play whls
and Edith beat Jack and Mrs. Vat
Pluys. much to Edith's delight and
Jack's chagrin, for If there was one
thing on which Jack prided himself It
was his whist and bis famous combina
tion play of the king second hand
which had never failed of Its object,
but did fail signally that night.
For some unaccountable reason the
next day did not pass as well for Jack
la the city. Everything seemed to go
wrong. His typewriter spoiled two
briefs when they were almost done and
be dropped his big inkstand and spilled
all the Ink on tbe pretty rug which he
and Edith had selected to make the
orflce look more cheery. When It came
time for him to go to the station be
was glad and sank within his accus
tomed seat with a sigh of relief. He
remembered the affair of the day be
fore and wished that be had told
Edith, and compromised with himself
by deciding to tell her when he reached
home. The monotonous rattle of click
ing cars Jarred upon him, and he could
not read. When the train stopped at
West Alton his temper had not Im
proved materially, and when he ran
Into a fat man with two grips he did
not even beg the fat man's pardon, al
though he knew that It was his own
fault, but muttered savagely something
about people not looking where they
were going.
Edith did not meet him at the gate as
usual, and that irritated hi in more. As
j he ueared the little porch lie heard the
sound of animated voices, line was
Edith's. The other sounded strangely
familiar. Where had he heard It be
fore? He racked his brain, hut could
not determine. As lie ojieued the door
to the cool, darkened sitting-room
Edith met him.
"Maud has come. Jack," she said,
and dragged him Into the room where,
seated on the divan with the big cush
ions was a white form which his eyes,
unaccustomed to the dimness of the
room, could not make out.
"Maud, this Is my husband. Jack,"
said Edith. "You remember Jack."
"I believe that we have had tl e
pleasure of meeting more recently, Mr.
Strong," said Maud, with a roguish
smile. j
Jack started "-? 1 f'i'is"K
,.i, caffjss. rom It. He
was petrified. He could only stare at
her hopelessly. She was the girl whom
he had met so unconventionally the day
before In the car.
"Er ah, yes. yes, of course," he man
aged to gasp, "delighted" and sank
down uiion the nearest chair with the
perspiration standing out upon his
forehead. Tis wife stood like a statue
of lea and looked from Maud, who was
smilingly self-possessed, to Jack, who
looked like a melting molasses candy
Image.
"I do not quite understand," she be
gan. Maud said nothing, but kept her
calm, roguish smile. Edith turned to
Jack and almost caught him In the act
of making a wild gesture toward Maud.
He wilted further.
"John," said Edith and when she
said "John," she meant what she said,
aud Jack knew It "John, what does
this mean?"
"Er-my dear it means I the fact
Is Oh, dash It I I saw her yesterday
In the car. That Is what It means,"
nd Jack blurted It nt In a voles
rnica was a combination or a groan
and a shout.
"Met her In the car? Well, I see nc
reason why you should be so confused
about It." Edith had become very
haughty.
Jack said nothing. He was swear
ing. He was swearing to himself.
Maud saw that it bad gone far enough,
and that It was time for her to speak.
"Come. Edith." she said, "I'll confess.
When I entered the car yesterday af
ternoon I recognized your husband at
once, and was going to speak to him,
but I saw that he did not recognize me.
I well. I do not know why I did It,
but yon know my fault is liking fun
and practical jokes and all that, and I
, just thought that it would be fun and
: play a trick on him, and then tell you
j all about It. He kindly helped me"
( here she smiled at Jack, who cursed
mentally "to raise tbe window, and
I then be talked very nicely to me. And
! I nearly died with laughing and having
j to keep It to myself. When I left the
train at Alton I Intended to toll blm
all about It, but the thought of seeing
the expression on his face when he met
me to-day kept me from It. That's all.
Edith. It was just one of my awful
practical Jokes. Forgive me, dear, but
really I could not help It."
Jack had straightened up when she
began her tale, and when she had fin
I Ished added emphatically: "Ye, by
(reorge, that's all. Edith. I was goln
i to tell you about It to-night myself.'
I Edith looked from one to the other
doubtfully, and when she thought of
tbe unutterable woe depleted upon tbe
face of poor Jack and his bad quarter
of an hour, her sense cf hiirior came to
tier aud she was forced to smile and
was Joined by Maude, who had liitJ
great difficulty In keeping her face
straight for the last nftecn minutes,
and by Jack, upou wlioO) tbe smile of
Cd.lii had produced a react loa. They
all laughed loudly cad Ed.th kissed
Mauds, and then everybody want Into
one of those aWlightful little dinner
for which the Strongs were so Justly
famous.
But that ulght a.'trr Maude bad gan
to ber roots and Jack was amok lug hU

and gu.-d at Jack long and earnestly.
H met her gsse with a fond ainila.
"Jack. MauJo is a dear tlrl, Isu'l

"Why. yea. of course she Is." '

Tks) Millionaire Was Beaposwibla for
tbe Latter Kecosaiaa Presides!.
It waa through Russell Sage, the fa
mous New York millionaire, that Mil
lard Fillmore became President of the
United States, according to Frank O.
Carpenter, the well-known newspaper
correspondent, who recently Interview,
ed the Wall street financier.
In his younger days, writes Mr. Car
penter, Mr. Sage was a prominent man
In New York State. He was a great
admirer of Zacb Taylor, but was above
everything a strong Henry Clay man.
He was at the head of the New York
delegation at the convention which
nominated Taylor, and held the rotes
of the delegates from bis State solid
for Clay. New York bad then, I think,
28 votes, and tbe throwing of these to
Taylor would mean that ha would
surely get the nomination. After the
convention met it waa evident that
Clay could not be nominated, where
upon tbe Taylor men asked Mr. Sage
to come to them for a conference as to
whether New York would go for Tay
lor. Sage did so, and virtually threw
the vote of the State to Taylor, bring
ing about his nomination.
In speaking of this Mr. Sage said: "1
sras asked to go to see CoL Taylor, the
brother of the future President, who
whs managing his canvass. I saw that
It waa impossible to nominate Clay,
but I wanted to know whether Gen.
Tajtlor, a Southern man, would treat
the Lorthern Whigs fairly. CoL Tay
lor fVld nie that his brother was a
Whig through and through, and as I
left him I said that while we expected
to stick to Clay as long as there was
the leant hope for him, we would come
to Taylor whenever it became apparent
that Clay could not be nominated. I
then presented the case to our delega
tion. They agreed, and when the crisis
came in tlte convention and It was evi
dent that .Clay's chances were gone I
threw our vote to Taylor, and thus
brought about his nomination. The
friends of T.iylor were so pleased that
they came to me and said:
" 'Now, "MiV Sage, you have helped
us nominate Vho President, and we
will let you nVHiilnate the Vice Presi
dent.' "I had not thotiRlit of that at all. and
I took some tiuiv to consider. Among
other men I thought of Fillmore, who
was theu a yountf lawyer of Iluffalo. I
knew hini well and thought he would
make a good ViV President. I sug
gested his name, hnd It was brought
before the convention. He was nom
inated without trouble. He accepted
the nomination, and the ticket was
elected. Zach Taylor died before his
term was half over, tind I illniore be
came President."

Ovaritis.
A dull, throbbing pain, accompanied

it fixed at once ; why not pay the same

THE way to get a
better position Is
to more than fill
your present one.
No man gives
anything to the
Lord worth nam
ing who w 1 1 h -holds
anything.
The man who
rides a bobby
tl.lnlf a n a h n d v
jiV-V ''" else is making
il " any headway.
To sneer at religion is to make it that
much harder for somebody to be good.
Whoever knows that God loves blm
knows thut lie loves tbe whole world.
The man who knows himself well
will know a good denl about other men.
It takes a higher degree of courage to
be laughed at than It does to be shot at.
A jury of ravens would not be long
In deciding that a linnet could not sing.
When self-righteousness gets up in
the night to pray nobody-else can sleep.
It takes backbone to take any kind of
a stand that will leave a man standing
alone.
Those who hunger for the bread of
life can never find It In the corn of
Eypt.
No man should try to speak for God,
except the jnan to whom Uod has
spoken.
The devil has the advantage of the
boy whose father is a moderate
drinker.
How much it would shorten our
prayers, if we would first do what God
requires.
Complete trust in God Is the only
thing that will insure complete spiritu
al health.
Religion is in a bad way, where no
body Is being persecuted for righteous
ness' sake.
The degree of every man's manhood
Is determined by how much he says no
to himself.
The man who does not rest In the
Lord when things go wrong makes oth
ers very tired.

I wish I wasn't pretty and I wish I wasn't

I guess. If yon were me, that you'd be
mad tho' you're as meek
As Moaea if each woman poked a finger
in your cheek.
And said, "Oo pitty itty singf' and all but

Away with her hard hugging, while she
kissed you most to death.
They call me "little angel," but an angel
would be roiled
By such outrage, and an angel's disposi

Tet these fool folks they all wonder why
I double up my list,
And with angry bawls bom-hard them
ev'ry time that I am kissed.
I'm a baby that's abused, and I just think
it is a shame
,The busy, big society that's got the great,

What is it that they call it, now the S.

Can't keep those cruel women from for

A Baby Heroine.
A story of unparalleled heroism
comes from the far West. In the little
village of Williams, Ariz., Eva Mazy
Grey, the 5-year-old daughter of a tel
egraph operator, was romping on the
hanks of Cataract creek, a stream usu
ally narrow and shallow, but now
swollen by the melting mountain
snows. With her were two otln
children, Maggie Brady and Jennie
O'Brien. Mazy and Maggie ventured

while throwing stones in the .stream,

-Witiiout aa Instant's hesitation braye
little Mazy plungd Into the icy water
and sTviun out to Maggie. She rench
ed her comiuuilon and drew her back
to the britle. Maggie got out of the
water, but Mazy's strength was gone
and the rushing current carried her
down stream.

tiour later .'nd her funeral was attend.
ed by all th villagers, business being
suHended. Mazy was a strong, hardy
baby, wonderfully precocious, with big
eyes and a wealth of silken tresses.
She was tall and stout of limb for her
age, and had learned to swim when
only 4 years old.
A White Red Squirrel.
Dr. Emily O. Hunt, in St. Nicholas,
describes the following interesting pet:
.Some girl cousins of mine Hying In
New Jersey have an odd pet. It is
white red squirrel.
You have all seen red squirrels
"chickarees" tliey call them, from the
sounds of their chattering and scold
ing, as they drop nutshells on your
head, or run down a tree-trunk by fits
and starts, giving a little "chick" with
each forward rush, while they watch
you sharply.
Our little pet ls like one of these In
every way, except that he is so snowy
white that the cleanest table-clotb
looks dingy compared to hlin.
He was born in a cranberry-bog.
Some man cutting brush there saw two
strange little animals, one white, the
other cream-colored. They caught this
white one by throwing a coat over
him, but the creamy squirrel ran away.
When the captive was brought home
all admired him greatly, for he waa, aa
you may Imagine, a very beautiful lit
tle creature, with his long busby tail
and bright woodland tricks.
But there Is really one strange thing
about him: his eyes are not red or
pink, aa are those of most white ani
mals, but they are as black as any
squirrel's could be. So my girl cous
ins call him "Bends."
When an animal belonging to a spe
cies commonly dark In color Is born
white Instead, It ls called an "albino."
You have all seen albino rabbits and
rats and mice. Their eyes are pink.
So that Beads Is really a most un
common fellow, a snowy squirrel with
Jet-black eyes.
Albino or not, he is at any rate a
most winning little pet, and there ls
no end to his pretty ways. As a cat
and a kitten live with the same fam
ily, he has to be kept In a squirrel
cage; but be Is let out a long time earth
day. Then Beads is quite happy. He
climbs np the back of tbe chair and
albMes the hair of the person Rented
in It, gnaws the. Dowers in tue window
tHl, rushes up the stems of the callas,
and scratches In the earth until It flies
on all sides. He will rub his bead and
face and all his body in the earth, un
til his cliwn white dress ls a night to
behuld. After that h hops to the
Moor, and rulet his face carefully upon
the carpet.
lie loves to retire to a corner or tin
der a j. live of furniture for his toilet,
going In trray and coralug out white.
If you ieep mid watch blm. It Is great
fun, for he mTuU aud combs hlmaejf
