MAUDE WRIGHT 0 O *• "I never will marry a man who does not think enough of me to give me anything less than a diamond ring.' Those are the very words I used," said Amelia Jones as she flashed a diamond before Mrs. Hartley's astonished eyes. "And Bob?" "Oh, he f.rst looked surprised, then angry; muttered something al>out the ring being set with my birthday stone and that it was tlio best he could af ford. Then be walked off without an other word." "Of course he came back or you would not l>e wearing the riag." "I must confess that I was a little bit frightened, for I do think a heap of Boi>, and you never know what a man will do, but he came back the very next day and brought me this beautiful diamond ring. You see, be really cares for me," said Amelia. "Well," said Mrs. Berkley, "I 4on°t 6ee how he could afford it, for he la not as well off as Joe was before we were married." A sudden thought struck her, for she slyly concealed her left hand, bnt not before Amelia had floticed the action. "Oh, Mrs. Berkley," she said impul sively, "do let me Bee your wedding ring. I do not remember noticing It. 1 knnw it must be something fine, for they do say that Joe Berkley was heels over head in love with you before you were married." A flush spread over Mrs. Berkley's face. "It is not a diamond," she faltered. "I am sure, then, it Is something equally nice. Now. Mrs. Berkley, please don't be so modest," said Amelia as she wickedly pulled the baud from its hiding place, revealing a very slender baud of sliver. "Ohl" Perhaps Amelia put more meaning into this exclamation than she intended, but there certainty was scorn. "Is this the kind of a ring Mr. Berkley gave you? He should be ashamed of himself, and he could have afforded to give you a diamond ring better than Bob couid afford to give me one. Of course he cared for you, but men have strange ways of showing Uiuir love sometimes." The flush on Mrs. Berkley's face grew deeper as she pulled her hand away. "It was made out of a dime." There was no further explanation. W left somo beans in tho oven and must go," said she and left. When she reached her home she tfent up to her room aud snatched the ring from her linger as if it burned aud threw it Into a bureau drawer out of sight. "1 never will wear it again—pover!" She stamped her foot angrily on the carpet. "He didn't care for me or he never would have given me a ring that would hold me up to scorn. Oh, yes; »<<> has been good to me. but then he is good to his clerks, his dog aud every thing else." Her pride had been wound-' v»»1 noroly. She hoped her husband would miss the ring and thus give her a chance to say something, but if he did not miss the ring ho missed something else—her usual cheery chat. "Are you ill, Frances?" ho asked, with real concern in his voice. "N'o," she answered curtly. "Has anything happened, then?" "Oh, enough has happened," she said coldly. Iter tuUtts caused turn apprehension. "Amelia Jones aud Bob IJalesford are engaged," she said finally, not knowing just bow to begin. "Is that all?" he laughed. Mrs. Berkley did not smile. "Bob gave Amelia a beautiful dia mond ring, which showed that he cared something for her." Something in her made him look down qt the finger that should have worn tiw wording ping. She noticed his giuuif and answered It. "I never will wear it again, for you did not care anything for me when you gave me such a ring as that- a paltry ten cent ring, a target for ridicule! Von could have aff<>r'!».| ,o have given mo a diamond rin-Jr l>ctUT than Bob Dalesford could afford to give Amelia one, yet you did not even give me a gold one—and—and—and you pretended to love me! I was h fool. I know bet ter now." Mr. Berkley winced as if he had l>eeu struck. He roso and left the room, and Mrs. Berkley noticed with a pang at her heart that his usually straight shoulders were bent as from age, yet she did not call him back. Nothing more was said about the ring, and things went uiacu as usual, uiily instead o'f cheer, sunshine and a sympathy there were silence, gloom and misunderstanding. Mrs. Berkley could not help noticing the haggard look that had settled down oq her husband's face, aud when sli« looked into the site knew that her own race was gettlug pale. Several days had passed thus when another diamond was flashed before Mrs. Berkley's eyes; this time the ring jvas in the hand of her husband. "I have brought you ft Jt&uioud to sfcovf that $ cat*: for you—yes, I car« very much Indeed," he said earnestly. "Give me your hand, and we will see bow it will fit." He tried to speak playfully. "I don't want the diamond. How can I wear two wus:ht yoa would be interested in." Mrs. Berkley without any preliminaries as «oon as she was seated. *1 first met Mr. Berkley oa a street car. I pulled ->ut a dime to pay the conductor when it slipfwM from my finsrers and fell to !he floor. Joe Berkley, who was sitting :;ear. sprang up to search for it. but just I hen the car »to;.ped at my desti nat.on, and I had no time to wait for :!'e lo«t coin. Mr. B-kley >l;pi>ed a i.i -S"! into my hand, savins he would pay ray fare and keep the dime when h? found ft. I thanked him and left ih" car. The next day we met on the i-ar again, and of course it was natural that I sli >uld ask liim if be had fouud the dime He bad, aud this opened the v.-ay for further conversation. We met often after this, aud—well, you know the rest. Mr. Berlrfey had the dime made Into a ring, and he asked me to wear it always. "You see why I prize it above any diamond he could give me." Her voice was full of feeling as she fin ished. "How fineT' Amelia's eyes were shin ing with a new light. "No. the kind of a ring does not matter, after all," she added softiy a» If ta herself. "I be lieve I will !eli Bob that I prefer the ring Pet wilh my birthday stone; he really could not afford the diamond uny way." We WiinM All T.lke It. A !*7,1.0n<) automobile rolled through the S»XW>OQ bronze gates and up the S3S.UO»> winding avenue to the WiuiOO marble stei>s. Pcsceufllrg from the machine, the billionaire paused a mo ment to view the smiling ?.ViO.ooo land scape.

The billionaire sank luxuriously into a $2,000 Ivory porch chair and rested his feet on the rosewood railing of the $!0O,0O0 veranda. "It is pleasant," he observed, "to get back to nature once In awhile. After the cares and the Worries of the business day I certainly love to run out to »his quiet little so country club of ours aud taste a bit of simple life. It is good to keep In touch with the soil, for what is man but dust after all?" reeling restored, he passed in through the S4OO,CHiO door way to his $1,500 dinner. Newark News. Munchausen. Many a reader of the fictitious ad ventures of the famous hero of the "Munchausenahl" (which was first pub lished in English at Oxford during the lifetime of this prince of all liars) lias no conception that the hero was a real person. Baron Hierouymus Karl Freid rich von Munchausen was a Han overian nobleman, a subject of the first three Georges. He was born in 1720 aud died in 17! i". He took service in a Russian cavalry regiment, but retired in old age to his ancestral estate at Bodenwerder.

A col lection of these stories, entitled "Vade mecum fur lustlge Leute," was pub lished at Berlin In 1781 without the baron's permission. The English work, "Baron Munchausen's Narrative of His Marvelous Travels and Campaigns In Russia," was an expansion and Im provement of the Berlin collection. AllcnJiaK io the Earn.

POVERTY A DISEASE. The Reftnlt of Bad Lh Inff. Bad Thtnlf- Ingr and of *»iuninfc. A large part of the poverty of the world is a disease, the result ,ii cen turies of bad Uwug. bad thinking nnd or sinning. We know that poverty Is au abnormal condition because it does not fit any human being's constitution. It contradicts the prorc ls-j aud the. prophecy of the divine in man. Ther*» are plenty of evidences abun dance of oil that Is good was man's Inherltauce, that if he Claims it stout ly and struggles persistently toward It i»c will gain it. The fact Is that a large p<;rt o.f the poverty of the world U» due to down right laziness, siilfthiesness. au un willingness to make the effort, to fight for a competence. It does not matter how much ability one may have. If .he does not have the Inclination and the energy to use it it will atrophy Lazi ness will ruin the greaiest genius. It would kill the ambition of an Alexan der or a Napoleon. No gift or talent is great enough to withstand it. The .love of ease has wrecked more careers thau anything else except dls«ipi.tioa, and laxiness and vice usually go t-v gethiy. Tney are twins. There a*-e certnin traits of a strong character which are Incompatible with preventable poverty. Swf reliance and a manly Independence are foundation stones In strong characters. We often find them largely developed i.i tho man who Is poor lu spite of ali tits ef forts to get away from his poverty, who Is the victim of misfortune and disasters which he cjuld not control. But the man who Is poor because he has lost his courage, his falth-ln him self. or because he is too lazy to pay the price for a competence lacks these qualities and Is so much less a man. He is a weak character compared with th<» man who has developed powerful mental and moral :nuscle in his euer getic, "persistent efforts t • g n a com petence and to trakfe the most of him self. When you make vi> your mind that you are done with poverty f >rever, that you will have nothing more to do with It, that you are goli - to erf • every trace of It from your dr»>. your talk, your actions, ycur h .iii . that you are going to show the world your real mettle, that you are no longer r »'.ng to pass for a failure, that you ! -e set your face persistent . toward better things, a competence, an lndej>endence, and that notion* on earth can turn you from yojr VO ' J wltl ** amazed to sev «'j * n re '-3 for*l ri? power will cofhe t > r i fr m this l»- iconfi.hrv-e an-! self r- -«pp- *.

One of the peculiaritie-- of the an cient writers on natural history sub jects was the implicit faith which they placed In the genuineness of the vari ous basilisk and dragon stories which were told to them.

Trees in which hi? makes Ills home exhale such a poisonous odor that birds In flying over are so over come with It that they fall to the ground dead. "The dragon," says the same au thor, "is the very largest of serpents and inhabits especially India and Ethi opia.

One interviewer, however, told the representative of the sublime is-rtc a funny story about Rrighato Voiing and his many wives, and it induced the minister to reciprocate. "There is a Turkish legend," he said, "to the effect that if a uian prays sev en consecutive mornings aione in the mosque for good luck it will come. Near St. Sophia mosque.

He felt inclined to Join tie com muter and ask a few more questions, only could not. in decency, without of fering to carry some of his bundles and hated to make a first appearance in a new place bearing a bright bloe bo* of laundered shirts or a large gilt bird cage. He Interviewed tbe club Instructor, who was leaning dejectedly against a pillar of tbe plaxza. After Inquiring the requisite* for eligibility Philip said: "You give lessons. I suppose?" "I can't collect anything. Amounts to glvln' 'em. don't It?"' "How many members?" Philip asked. "Half an almshouse, a third of an old ladies' home, a quarter of a state hoa r-Hal—there's that many and that kind 6f folks." Tbe man had been drinking. Philip tjtought, as be strolled down tbe bill to vfflrd a hoarding house not far away in search of luncheon. Philip was seated at a small table op posite a grumpy old man dressed in a dirty flannel shirt. Among tbe other "guests" was au elderly woman wear ing a very short skirt and spectacles, who hurried into the room followed by • fat man. who was muttering Impreca tions on things in general and golf In particular. Philip's table companion chuckled maliciously. "Mart be pleasant. f-r - c and his ; "wT7f>""- '. ,-tm by ten room all summer and not be on speaking terms. She won a cup because her handicap was b'gger than his. and he won't for give her." "The whole atmosphere appears sul phuric, ** Philip remarked. "Are you a golfer?" asked tbe old man. "Trying to be," said Philip. "Married?" "No." "It Is a gr<*9t game for the single blessed, hot every family should be without It. There Is no blood or mar ltal relationship that can mitigate Its concentrated bitterness. A woman went away from here yester lay to get a divorce because her husband accused her of moving her ball. It Is an awful temptation. We are all human." After luncheon the okl man asked Philip to play around tbe course. Philip borrowed sotno flubs of the instructor and they started off. The old duffer, as Philip mentally stigmatized him. sent his ball twenty five yards. Philip sent his seven tiroes as many, then he and the eaddr—they had one hpfweett them—ran ahead and waited. The old man raised bis ball and a clod of earth at the same time. "He's diggin' for bolt,** said the ■■ad dy. grinning. The duffer found his ball behind a small mound of sod. which he pounded flat with a brassy, batted the ball to the near side of the bunker, then paus ed to consider. "Stamp on It; n.asii itf* cried Philip. "Why let a barrier raised by man In terfere when you can smooth out na ture as you did'*'* Three times the duffer struck hi* ball, and each time it leaped up In ttw air aixl fell on the ground just behind htm. "I say. old man. go twrk to the farm and play tiddlywiaks." gasped Philip. "But I don't need any more practice. I'm learning from observation." He sent his ball, however, to the edge of the preen. The nest time the duffer's ball land ed jwt .»ff the course in a rot. Philip Ifghted a ciirarette. keeping one eye on his opi»>r.»- it. and as he held the Maz ing match before his fa»'e the okl aula •Luffied his toll with his foot to aa easy He. "Hold oa there: What are you do Inst-" Philip cried. "Nothing—nothing. r*— "Yoa moved your bail I saw yon.

And Philip marched off la a rage, leaving the duffer >taro| In amazement after him. Pltillp returned the clubs to the dis mal instructor a&1 wrong hi* hand at parting.

"If yoa are looking f<* golf come to Sunnyqi.le- going there myself. The link* are good, and yoa will find a lot of nice people."
