A young sub.lieutenant on sick leave put up

health lost his heart, proposed to the fair thief,
was accepted and the wedding day agreed upon
His colonel, however, happened to disprove OF
sub-lieuteuants marrying and telegraDhed
peremp.ory "Join at once" The disguised
subaltern handed the uuwelcome missfve to his
lady-love. She read IL, and then with blush
of maidenly simplicity, remarked: 81 am glad
your colonel approves of the match; but what a
hurry he is in! doh't think L can be ready 50
soon, bat I'll do my best; because OF course,
love, the colonel must be obeyed." "You don't
seem to understand the telegram, darling"
said the dull fellow; sit quite .upsets our
plans; he said, join at once" The lady
looked up with an arch smile and replied; st
is you, dear, who don't seem to understand it.
The colonel says plainly: Join at once OF
course he means to get married immedia,sly:
What else can he possibly mean?" "What
else, indeed?" exclaimed the enlightened lover,
accepting the new reading without demur. So
forty-eight hours afterward the colonel re-
ceiyed the message: "Your orders are obey ed.
We were joined at once"

When Lord Liverpool was forming his min
istry in 1922, he thought it absolutely necessa-
ry to have Canning at the Foreign office, al
though aware the appointment would be oh
noxious to George Nv. The Duke of Wellng-
ton undertook the unpleasant task of COM
municating Lord Liverpoops determination,
and went to Brighton for that purpose. As
soon as the king knew what was wanted of
him, he broke out: Arthur, 10 is impossibel

never be one Of my ministers again. am
sure you will agree with me that can not do
what have said on my honor as a gentleman

been silsnced, but the great soldier, always
equal to an emergency, replied: "Pardon me,
sir, but l don't agree with you at all Your
majesty is not gentleman" The bold asser-
ton startled the king; but the duke went on;
sovereign of Eugland, with duties to your
people far above any to yourself; and these
duties render it imperative that you should
employ the abilities of Mr.. Canning" "Wsn
Arthur" said the king, drawing long bse atn,

Although he did not like being told he was
no gentleman, George ~ had once at least,
was when he flung glass of wife in Colonel
Hamyn's face, with: "Hamlyn, you are a

return the compliment without committing
something like treason; it was out OF the
question to challenge tue prince, while to let

the contents 10 the face of his neigtbor, say

A Mob Hill man retired early
last evening, weary with the heat
and tired out from q protracted
siege Of pedro, and vainly endeav-
ored to WOO the drowsy god, sus-
taiued and soothed by the uninter-
rupted flow of small talk from his
wakeful spouse. Her conversation
was not exactly in the line of a cur
tain lecture, as she was not in an
inharmonious mood, but was rath-
er seeking information in the
worlds work. Her last question to
her nOdding lord was in reference
to Edison and his Inventions.
"How about the phonograph,
dear?" she queried; 'you have
never explained 1t to me. How
does it work."
He reused himself up and an
swered:
Tvs a little machine that the
husband leaves on the table while
he is down town, and on his retur,
he turns q crank, and 1t informs
him Of everything that has beef

She meditated q moment, ther
broke out:
"The fool men are always getting
up some pesky invention, and II
you bring one OF these things IL

He promised not to do so, II she
would let him go to sleep, and 8
great silence fell on the room. Bu'

Edison is a monster aud an enemy

When a newly married widowel
passed crowd vino were standing
on First street last week one OF the
party remarked:
"He waited long time before he
hitched onto his second wife, didu'l
hep"
"How long ago did his first wife
die?" querried a subdued looking
stranger, who was standing near.
The party figured that 1t had
been about four years.
100 soon, too soon," mused the
stranger; "if my wife should die
I'd never get married again"
The moisture that gathered In
the strangers eyes engulfed the
crowd In a sea of sympathy, and
when he bowed bis head, and they
saw the marks Of the rolling-pin
behind his ear, and observed thai
several tufts of hair were missing
from his scalp, they knew he meant
what he said.

We can discern In Republican
quarters an uneasy feeling that
den. Benjamin F. Butler may be
the next Governor OF Massachu-
setts. 1t Is true that the results of
the election in Oalo and Indiana
have demonstrated the fact that
the. greenback party hss nothing
like the strength claimed for it.
But Butler has the Democratic as
we'll as the greenback and National
Labor nominations, and he is a
tower Of strength in himself. The
fact that the HERALD has been
friendly to Buffers candidacy has
bsen commented on adversely in
several quarters. We have what
We regard as three good, capital
reasons for desiring him to succeed.
Ii ever there has been a supercili-
Gus, Pharisaic sec. it has been the
Republican party Of Massachusetts,.
Its arrogance and self-suificlency
have been beyond belief. As Par.
ties stand to day In the Bay State,
an old line Democrat has not a
ssstige of chance of success. We
heartily desire to see this party de-
feated in its very procreant cradle.
In the second place, Ben Butler
has always kept his sympathies 10
line with the common people.
From the earliest days of his career
IS q lawyer he would dror wealthy
client to hurry to the aid of u poor
operative. We do not regard him
- an angel OF light, by any means,
but he has always kept to the es-
sential Democratic principle that
the masses should count for some
thing In the government Of the
HtAtes and nation, and that their
well-being. as contradistinguished

AN unquestionabiy pleasant
thing is the large number of pre-

IdQIers OF labor should occupy

third place. we hail with pleasure
a willingness on the part of man
OF such recognized political sagac-
ity as Butler to discover himself
from the fortunes of the Republi-
can party and identify himself
again with the party Of his youth
and early manhood. II is an omen
of evil for the. Republican and an
auspice of good for the Democratic
party that he has done So
There are some partizans who
are not without sort of sympathy
with what might he called the
"cussedness OF old Ben. One
can come in time to forgive the
larceny of silver spoon or 80. but
there is something fascinating
in the strabismic eye of
Butler, in "fine phrensy roll
Ing" and we should not wonder
II he were to prove to have over the
rank and file of the voters of Mas
sachusetts much such an influence
as the rattlesnake Is said to possess
over birds, by means of which the
latter are brought withln striking
distance. IF, owing to the demor-
slization his bolt has caused in the

We succeed in capturing stray
