The women had just organize '

once appealed to to donate few DO
lars as foundation to work on, and
Graham added:
ut would be SO pleasant in after
years for you to remember that you
gave this society its first dollar and its
FIRST kind word"
He slowly opened his wallet. drew
out ten-dollar bill, and as the ladies
smacked their lips and clapped their
hands be asked:
lis this society organized to aid the
poor of foreign countries ?"
"Yes-yes-yes? p they chorused
"And it wants money Z"
"Yes-yes!"
"Well, now." said johnson, as he
folded the bill in tempting shape. "there
are twenty married women here. II
there are fifteen of you who can make
oath that you have combed your chill
dren's hair this morning, washed the
dishes, blacked the cook stove aud made
the beds, I'll donate this ten dollars"
II have" answered two Of the crowd,
and the rest said:
why, now. Mr.. johnson! !"
IF fifteen Of you can make oath
that your husbands are not wearing
socks with holes in the heels this money
is yours" continued the wretch.
Just hear him y they exclaimed,
each one looking at the other.
"If ten Of you have boys without
holes in the knees of their pants this
tx" goes to the society,"" said John
son.
"Such man!' they whispered.
"If there are five pair of stockings
in this room that don't want darning
I'll hand over the money!" be went on.
"Mr. Johnson" said Mrs. Graham,
with great dignity, "the rules Of the
society declare that no money shall be

A Touching Romance.

The following is the hitherto unpub-
lished romance connected with the life
Of one Of the most prominent officials Of
the signal service bureau He was en-
gagged to be married to lovely, charm
ing and wealthy girl. The eve Of the
wedding had dawned-if an eve can
dawn-and they were occupying the
same rocking chair and talking as in
anely as only lovers can talk, when the
fair one said
"Albert, duckey, there is one thing
| wish you to do when you are married"
"Name it, lovely" he replied
"That is, petty, to have no rain on
Mondays, because, you know, darling.
that Monday is washing day, and if the
things are not washed and dried then
the weeks work is SO fearfully put
back. You will, won't you, my owny ?"
This young mans heart was torn,
but be replied: MAUD, dearest, my
duty to my bleeding country demands
imperatively that l shall whoop her as
the precise sort of weather that Heaven
will probably send impartially during
the next twenty. four hours upon the
just and the unjust. without regard to
age, sex or previous condition of SER
vitude If an area of barometric dis
turbance exists in the Middle States on
Monday. how can l consistently with
my duty declare that the probabilities
favor clear weather with light winds from
the southeast? No angel; ask me any
thing tut that. l could not love thee,
dear, SO darn much, loved not honor
MORE"
"Then you do not love me-" she
sobbcd, bursting into tears.
The reader will readily understand
how they progressed to quarrel and
parted enemies. She returned his pres
ents and is now lecturing on woman's
rights, and he is a confirmed misogynist
and sits up all Sunday night at the sig
nal service Office with fendish glee,
making out bulletins for Monday, an
nouncing falling barometcrs, atmos-
pheric Disturbances, heavy rains, show.
