Three evenings ago Baron ané his wife attended a meeting of their sum- mer whist club. It was held at the Whittakers’ home in Kenwood. and was within a few blocks of the Baron home. The Barons were strolling peacefully home about 12 o'clock, when an idea came to Baron. They were passing a drug store in the neighborhood and Baron, who has a weakness for lemon phosphate, deci- ded to Indulge it and treat his wife at the same time The druggist, who had about given up hope for any more night trode, drew off the lemon phosphates with a flourish and set down on the small table before the Barons. Baron flipped back them. “No good!” he said, cheerfully. “I always take two. Wait till I'm done ordering.” The druggist smiled and waited. By and by Baron called for another phos- phate and got it. He finished the sec- ond glass as his wife sipped the last drops of her first one. His hand went into his pocket for the 15 cents due, and fished up a few pennies. He drew out his pocket book and found one lonely $50 bill. He put it back and hunted through his pock- ets again. The druggist’s smile had died. His eyes had a baleful glitter. Baron felt that he was suspected of being the lowest of sneak thieves in- stead of the honest, honorable insur- ance man that he was. He tried an- other pocket and asked his wife in a low tone if she had her pocket book with her, and then he asked her why not. Then he pulled his $50 bill and tendered it awkwardly enough. “I’ve only got 4 cents besides,” said Baron, uncomfortable under the basi- lisk eye of the druggist. “It's queer about these fellows with big bills,” said the druggist pensively. “They usually travel with 2 or 4 cents change. What drug store in this part of town could change a $50 bill at widnight? It’s a cinch you know the neighborhood.” “I live four blocks from here,” said Baron with heat. “I could pass here every morning on my way to the sta- tion—"’ “Only you don’t said the druggist, as acid as his lemon phosphate. “Well,” said Baron, with a noble ef- fort to appear at his ease. “I'll drop in to-morrow morning and pay you. I'm Harris W. Baron.” “I never heard the name,” remarked the druggist with resignation in his voice. “Well, confound it, maybe you'd like to see it printed,” said Baron testily, and he drew out the pocket book again. He went through its several compartments, and Mrs. Baron and the druggist gazed with various feel- ings as Barom's search revealed no the check that accompanied “Well,” said Baron furiously, “we don't seem to be able to settle things up to-night, but I'H be on hand in the morning.” “That's what they all say,” observed the druggist, practically rather than cynically. They were half through dinner the next evening when Mrs. Baron sud- denly giggled. Baron moved uneasily and frowned slightly. “Did you pay the maa the 15 cents, dearest?” she asked. “Naturally I wouldnt let the matter slip,” said Baron. That evening, contrary to hie cus- tom, he went out for a walk. He was gone perhaps an hour. When he came back he sat down on the porch and wrestled with his masculine sense of pride and dignity. Then he spoke, and Mrs. Baron shrieked with laughter. “No,” she said at last. “I don’t know the druggist's name, nor where the store is, but”—she grew serious —“I’ll bet you $10 for a new cut-glass bowl that I can lead you to it in the dark.” “Lead on,” remarked Baron, sepul- chrally. “I'll mop up the floor with that measly little pirate for daring to doubt my word, but I'll pay him first.” When the Barons returned twenty minutes later Mrs. Baron was bolding a crisp new $10 bill. Once more had woman's intuition and sense of local ity worsted man’s alleged accuracy and attention to detail. and attention to detail. News. — Chicago In the United has 6 brood: three. States the sparro a year; in Britain ¢ aly DEFEATED, HEROES. There was no denying that Mrs. Hulbert had “nerves” in an aggra- vated form. When there was abso- lutely nothing to worry about it worried her most of all—and when a woman gets to that stage she is hope- less. Therefore the state she was in when she decided to join some friends at a summer resort and to shut up her fiat can readily be imagined. I would be left alone, at the mercy of hou-e- breakers and thieves. To be sure, there was Mr. Hulbert, but as he was a traveling man and home only at brief intervals he did not count in the least. Mrs. Hulbert’s imagination being good she saw her flat in various forms of topsy-turviness immediately after her ®eparture, rifled of bric<a-brac and rugs and completely despoiled of valuables. She had no doubt the eager burglars were even then hover- ing around near corners feverishly waiting for her to gel out of sight before pushing in to seize the spoils. She bent all her energies to foil them. The silver she took down to the bank, hiring a cab at the coet of $3. Her furs were stored and she de- scended on two friends in the build- ing with a petition that they would take charge of her orientai rugs dur- ing her absence. Several choice pieces of pottery also she distributed about the habited part of the building and when she had finished if marau- ders had succeeded in getting in they would have been confronted by a choice between the gas range and heavy furniture. With her temperament, however, this was not the slightest comfort to Mrs. Hulbert. She thought of all sorts of schemes which she conflied to every one as each struck her. The back windows had burglar catches and could not be raised. Of course, the glass might be cut out, but she must chance that. After bolting the back door she moved the refrigerator against that. No one but a human fly could scale the fron: wall and enter by the parlor windows, but the front door bothered her. It could not be bolted, as in that case she herself would be reduced to departing by a rope ladder, which was out of the quesiion. She concluded to leave the window shades up and made every one promise if he or she saw the hint of a light in her flat to investigate at once. And ten days after she left the woman across the hall saw a light in the Hulbert flat. She rang up the janitor and flew to tell the woman on the floor above. In the hall the three reconnoitered and agreed it was indeed the light from a gas jet ‘n the inner bedroom which was re- fiecced through the ground glass of he front door. It took about three seconds for the news to spread through the building that burglars were in the Hulbert flat. very one surged down w the second hall landing. The men coming home from downtown added themselves one by one to the crowd. Somebody suggested to the janitor that he use Lis key and go in. The look of in- dignation which greeted this was a work of art. “An wot would I do w’en I got in there?” he inquired majestically. I'll go and telephone the police,” he add- ed, and departed hastily. Then a small man appointed himself captain of the flat dwellers and put them where they would do the most good. Three men were sent around to the back porch to intercept the thieves should they attempt to escape that way. The women were ordered away and forthwith crowded into the flat across the hall, where they took turns peeping through the crack in the door. One man was sent down to the side- walk to guard the front of the build- ing and departed amid the envious glares of those who had to stand watch over the door of the Hulbert flat. In fifteen minutes a squad of blue- ooats advanced on the building. Af- ter deep consultation it was decided to carefully unlock the front door with the janitors key, make a rush and surround the desperado. FExcite- ment among the flatters approached hysteria at this. The scheme was heartily approved of by the men om guard, who withdrey in haste on the arrival of the policemen. With trembling hands the janitor produced the key, the cleverest minion of the law worked it and the door skung. There was an intense instant and then a tremendous rush on the part of the heroes. The only drawback to {ts trium- phant conclusion was that the rush was checked in the middle of the Hulberts’ parlor by the appearance in the bedroom door of no less a person that Mr. Hulbert himself. He had one side of his face still lathered and this, together with his expres- sion of mild interest, was disconcert- ing, to say the least of it. “Oh,” he sald when it was all ex- plained to him. “I guess my wife for- got to tell you I'd be home a couple of days while she was gone. But I'm much obliged.” The occupants of the other flats have quit worrying over Mrs. Hul bert's possessions. The latest cure of nervous diseases, according to a Swiss doctor, is tea made with melted snow. Walnut is only employed in Franc in cabinet and carpenter's work. WOMAN'S LITTLE WAY. — Serventor settled back comfortably in his chair ang lit the after-dinner cigar to which he had limited him- self in deference to his wife's fears that he was injuring his health by excessive smoking ; “Oh!” he exclaimed suddenly. “What do you think? Willingion has backed out of that little stag party at Renford’s. His wife wouldn't let him go. Weceuldn’t that give you a nervous chill? Adeline, if I had a wife like that I'd be tempted to take & club to her. I don’t suppose he dares open up his mouth arcund the house without raising his hand to asl: permission. “How would you like to have it said that your husband stood in terror of you, little woman?’ he asked jocu- larly. “lI wouldn't like it at all,” replied Mrs. Serventor, promptly. “I believe in a man doing what he pleases as long as he doesn’t misconduct him- self. I'm not an advanced woman like Mrs. Willington, you know.” “No, you're not, by George!” sail her husband, admiringly. “Besides, I know you wouldn’t stand dictation,” laughed the lady. “Well, I guess not,” said Sarventor. “What kind of a party is this, Ed- ward?” asked Mrs. Sarventor pres- ently, as she threaded a needle. “Oh, just men, you know.” “Are they nice?” “It depends on what you call nice. It isn’t like a pink tea.” “I suppose you will all smoke like chimneys and play cards. Well, cf course, you will go if you want to.” “Why, certainly.” “You meedn’t be cross about it, Ed- ward. I'm not cross. “I don’t see any reason why you should be.” “I might not like it, though. 1 wouldn't wonder a bit if they played cards for money—and that’s gambling, You don’t blame me for not wanting my husband to be a gambler. That wouldn't be reasonable, would it, dear?” “Why, Adeline! Suppose it was a penny ante—enough to give an in- terest to the game?” “The rrinciple is the same. But, of course, my narrow views needn’t stand in the way of your having a good time.” “Oh, thunder!” “Now you are losing your temper Well, we won't say anyching more about it You've made up your mind that you'll go whether I like it or not or whether it's right or wrong. | wouldn’t say a word for the world to displease you. You know I wouldn’t, Edward. 1 don’t like to have you cross.” , “But, my dear!” “No, we won't say anything more about it. And then you'll be tempted to smoke more than is good for you. I know you won’t break your promise to me, but—" “What promise?” “About smoking more than cigar in an evening.” “Adeline, I just said I'd try it for awhile and see how it went.” “Then you intend to. Oh, Edward!” “Nonsense. You aren’t talking rea- sonably, my dear. You just don’t want me to go.” “No, I want you to go. If you prefer the society. of a set or horrid card-playing men to your wife's I ought not to complain. I ought to be g-g-glad.” “Why, Adeline, my dear!” “No, I'm not. You know I'm not. You dud-dud-don’t love me.” “Of course, I do. You know per- fectly well I do.” ; : J Mrs. Sarventor put aside her hus- band's caressing hand and dried her eyes. Then she sald: “This is very foolish of me, Edward. I ought to be ashamed of myself, and I am, too. Of course, you must go, dear. You know I would never oppose you in anything. We've been married over a year now and, of course, I ought not to expect that you wouldn't get just a little tired of a silly girl in all that time.” “Dearest,” said Sarventor, “how can You say such absurd things? Tired of you!” “I suppose if I had made our little home attractive—" “You've made it a little paradise.” “And of course you miss all your old bachelor habits.” “Miss nothing I know when I'm well off.” “Then why,” demanded Mrs. Sar- ventor, “are you so crazy to go to this horrid stag party?” ‘I'm not crazy about it. IL don’t care a thing about it. I don’t know that I'd go if I hadnt promised—at least I half promised.” “Then you won’t go? Oh, good!” “Not if you don’t want me to, dearest.” “Oh, but I don’t want you to stay at home just because you know I'd be hurt if you went. I want you to do exactly as your please. You'd better go, perhaps, dear.” one “Well, I don’t want to,” said Sar-| ventor. “I want to stay and spend the evening with you, and that set: tles it.”—Chicago News. HAIR CUT: “Well, old man, you're back again, I see. Fishing any good?” “Yes, if the man at the rod is good. I had a strange experience one day though.” “What was it?” “Why, you see, Brown was up there at the same time I was and we usually went out together. There was a chan- nel on one side of the lake not far from the hotel, where we could walk along on good ground and fish when- ever the boats all happened to be out. “One morning, after we had been there about two weeks, Brown’s hair got to looking rather shaggy, and he thought of going to town to have it trimmed. But the day turned out fine for fishing, so he gave it up. We then started in on the channel. “We fished for awhile without much success. Then Brown made a cast well into the weeds and got hung up on a Mly-pad. He had a small line, which had been used considerably, and when he jerked it parted about five feet from the end. “The first thing I knew he had slipped off his clothes and plunged in. He swam across till he found a foot- fng and disengaged the hook. It was too far to throw the hook to me and he required both hands open to swim —he never was much of a swimmer— and he couldn’t be sure of holding his teeth together if he held it in his mouth on account of his habit of spitting out water at every stroke.” “What'd he do?” ‘“He tied #t around his neck and let it hang down behind. About half-way over the spoon began to turn and he got a strike from a whopping big pickerel.” “Must have choked him, didn’t it?” “I should say it did. But the fish gave a dart, and I thought we should lose him and Brown, too, but they finally came to the surface—Brown Spluttering at a great rate. “Soon the fish began to strike at Brown's hair. At the time I couldn’t See the reason for it, but later I came to understand. Instead of trying to drown poor Brown it was trying to save his life. I never knew a pickerel to act that way before. Now, you take a bass or a muskellunge and it might take the place of a Newfound- land dog as a life-saver. I know old Hodgkins used to keep a tame mus- kellunge to take care of the children when they were in bathing; but I never knew a pickerel to—never., “Pretty soon I noticed him towing Brown by his wet hair out into the channel. Then he began racing up and striking again. Every time he nipped a mouthful of hair his lower Hp scraped the neck below it. You can imagine Brown's dilemma, with his efforts to swim and fighting off that fish at the same time.” “I should say so.” “Well, when he landed he had as pretty a round cut on his hair as you ever saw—sort of a football cut, you understand, with his neck nicely shaved.” “That was all, was it? or anything?” “No, just the hair cut and neck shave. I noticed the pickerel eying Brown's beard rather suspiciously, but so far as I observed he had not made a beginning upon it.”—Chicago News. No shampoo RHEUMATIC PAINS QUICKLY RELIEVED.

Alexander Cohen, who was a brother of the Somerset merchants of that name, died of pulmonary trouble, last Friday, at Los Angeles, California, where he had gone in the hope of ben- efitting his health. The young man had been ill for a long time. About a year ago he con- ducted a clothing store at Scottdale, but was forced to quit the business on account of his health. Since then, un- til recently, he represented an insur- ance company in order to get as much out-door exercise as possible. Upon the advice of his physician he left Som- erset about a month ago for Denver, Colorado, where it was believed he would find relief. The high altitude did not agree with him, and from there he went to Los Angeles. At the latter place he was attended by Dr. A. F. Speicher, who is a native of Salisbury. Deceased was buried on Sunday in a Jewish cemetery at Los Angeles, the obsequies being under the auspices of a Knights of Pythias lodge, of which he was a member. The surviving members of Mr. Cohen’s family at Somerset are Morris, Louis and Fred.—Somerset Standard. a THE BLANKS WE KEEP.
