AN exchange has diynlged the
following secret, which we had hoped
would be kept that the printers might
not be bothered with cake, gold dol
lars and the like: eve can always
tell what sort Of a woman a man mar
ries by the way he treats the prin-
ter. If he gets a common wife, he
forgets the printer altogether. II he
gets a tolerably good one he will
send in a. marriage notice. If he
gets q very good one he will sendt the
printer slice of cake accompanying
the notice. And if he gets a glori-
Gus, angelic creature, allsaffection
and goodness, he is sure to send q
gold or silver dollar to the printer.

riage. No good wife will allow her.
husband to owe for his paper, and if
the sworser half does not attend

Quick Wit Wins.

Years ago, into whelesale.groec-
Try store in Boston walked a. tall,
muscular, looking man, evidently
fresh conner from some .hackwooas
town in Maine or New Hampshire.
Accosting the first person he met,
who happened to be the merchant
himself, lie said:
"You don't want to hire a man in
your store, do you?'
''Well," said the merchant, 81 do
not know; what can you do?"
"Do7" said the man, .sratller guess
| can turn my hand to almost any
thing-what do you want doner'
"Well, if l was to hire a man it
would be one that could lift well--a
strong, wiry fellow; one, for instance,
that could shoulder sack of coffee
like that yonder, and carry it across
the floor and never lay it down."
"There now, Captain" said the
countryman, "that's just me. / can
lift anything I hitch to; you can't
suit me better. What will you give
a man that will suit you?'
"I'll tell you," said the merchant;
elf you will shoulder that sack Of
coffee and carry it across the store
twice and never lay it down, / will
hire you a year at 500 per month";
Done" said the stranger, and by
this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and were waiting to
ljoinip the, laugh against the man,
who, walking up to, the sack, threw
! it across his shoulder with perfect
lease, although extremely heavy, and,
walking with it twice across the
|store, went quietly to large hook
which was fastened TO the wall, and.
hanging it up, turned to the mer-
ichanta and said: .s.s. .-.s

She rambled through the meadows
wide,
So richly gemmed with dew;
Her hair was bright as golden light,
Her eyes were azure blue.
And shyly, there, the farmer lad
Betrayed his love and woe;
See passed him by
With head held high,
And coldly answered "No"
She wandered to the woodland pool,
: By wild flowers all begirt;
She saw her beauty, iii its depth,
And smiled-the pretty firi.
And there the carate told his love,
Tho hope was almost dead;
But thought she sighed,
She naught replied,
She only shook her head!
She fingered by the broad park gate
!, The old lord fingered, too;
He sought the maiden for his bride,
And knew, too, how to WOO.
And tho he feigned loves sad despair,
. Her answer he could guess;
But could not spy stb
Her triumph high!
She smiled and whispered, "Yes!'

THERE is quite a breeze at Wash
ington caused by the Presidents mes
sage and Secretary Shermans report
getting out ahead of time. It seems
really amusing that everybody should
take the trouble to steal presidential
message at an ordinary time like this,
when there is no particular excite
ment or interest taken in affairs of
state. The message after it fell
into nnthe hands of some one willing
to use it was offered for sale
at 81, ,OOO Three conspirators united
and divided the cost. Hence it got
out and was telegraphed in full to the
New York Times, Cincinnati Enqui-
rer, and Chicago Times, in which
papers it appeared Sunday morning.
Sherman is awful mad about it, and
has set the secret service detectives at
work to find out just how it was done.
1t is said that only the DAY before he
read the cabinet a letter on the sub.
ject of allowing official documents tc
be made public in advance, and told
how carefully he was guarding his re.
port. AT the same moment the three
correspondents were negotiating fol
his report at five hundred dollars.

STRANGE DIVORCE SUIT.
Seeking Divorce FOrty-Two Years After
Neutrality-suspicious. Charges.

In New York, on Thursday last, the
divorce suit entitled Cornelia Chatter
ton against George w. Chatterton,
which came up before Justice Law
renee in the Supreme Court, Cham
bers, on motion to compel the plain
tiff to disclose her residence, presents
some singular statements. The plain
tiff claims to have married to the
defendant, who is a wealthy jeweler of
Maiden Lane, New York, on August
10. 1897, at Jacksonville, Thompkins
county, New Ark, her maiden name
being Wilcox. They lived together
about eighteen months, when she says
he abandoned her ard came to New
York. In 1913 he was married to
Sarah Stark, by whom he has three
children.
The defendant, in the papers pre-
sented, said that he had no knowledge
as to the residence of the plaintiff.
He once knew her as a young lady at
Ithaca, when he was fifteen years old,
but he has not seen her for forty years.
For thirty-one years he has been liv-
ing in New York and Springfield, ILL.,,
with his family. The defendant claims
that this suit is not brought of the
plaintiffs own motion, but at the in
stigation of her counsel, for improper
purposes. Answering aflidavits Of the
plaintiff were read, in which she de-
nies this last allegation She said that
she had been living at Ithaca for sew
eral years. Not having heard from
the defendant since 1912, she had sup
posed him to be dead, and only recent
ly had learned that he was alive. She
asked that the motion should not be
granted, as she feared bodily harm
from the plaintiff. Justice Lawrence
took the papers, remarking that it was
the most singular case he had evel
known.
