IlaJ ne was never seen, customers De-
gan to suspect something. Orders that
he had taken went wrong; complaints
were made of lost goods that had been
trusted to him. She had to make them
good. Here, again, the story ought to
turn that she built up the business her
self again, and put up her own name as
sole trader. But she was a poor,
heart broken woman. She wanted to
reclaim him, and not even the business
was as important to her as what had be-
come of her husband all the DAYS and
nights that he staid away from her.
They were half starved, but she kept up
decent appearance still, kept her chill
dren clean, and herself tidy. One day
a strange thing happened. This re-
Specialize, neat woman, with her two
pretty Children made her appearance in
the tavern where this man spent his
days. She did not make a scene she
did not come for that. She quietly took
her seat there and waited for him. Peo-
pie came up to her and urged her to 90
home, saying that this low drinking
place was no place for her and her chill
dren. Wherever the father stays" she
replied, els the place for his children
and for me-" OF course he was ready
soon to go home. Some men would have
been brutal-have struck or cursed at
her for interference, but this man was
only weak, not cowardly. The next day
he went to another place. She followed
presently with the bright little children.
This was kept up for some weeks. The
tavern-keepers grew uneasy. They could
not stand the mute witness of the mans
weakness. They could not complain
OF her, for she did nothing, said
nothing only sat and watched. She
did not cry or entreat while her
husband lounged up to the bar to drink.
She simply sat by, panied and intent,
with the two children kept very close to
her, as If she would shut out from their
eyes and ears such talk and such sights.
No tavern-keeper could stand it. One
after another refused to sell liquor to a
man SO guarded. Finally it began to
tell on him-this gentle, faithful watch.
He stopped drinking, dropped his "po-
itical" associates that had led him to it.
and began to turn over new leaf. He
picked up his old business again, but
finally concluded to move to another
place and make a clean start. He is
now prosperous, and his experience is
not the least part of his gains. This
was the way one woman reformed her
husband; with never a spoken word,
she fairly shamed him out of his ruin
by letting him see that whatever he
sank to there she and the children were
bound to be, and that even in danger or
foulness she still looked to him to pro-
tect them. For better, for worse, she
had married him, and even when he
took the worse there would she and his
children be. It was an appeal to his
manhood, and very uncomfortable ap-
peal to all who stood around, or who
dropped in to drink. Not crying
woman-not even a praying one, as any
one could see-but, by the mute appeal
of her presence there, finally conquer
ing for decency end happiness again.

THERE is still much superstition in
China and Japan. The fox is credited
with many marvellous and supernatural
attributes, among which is the ability
at the age of 80 to take the form of a
woman, and at 100 that of young and
beautiful girl. He can also become a
wizard if he likes, and at the age of
1000 years is admitted into paradise,
where he becomes celestial being.
There is presumptive evidence that foxes
rarely reach the age of 100 years in
China or Japan.

In OldeN DAYS.

Bluff Harry, the much-married, who
died in 1647, never used a fork. The
great Queen Bess had several presented
to her, but only used the article on state
occasions, probably when the foreign
Ambassadors were present who had pre-
sented her the aesthetic" article as a
gift fit for sovereign. High breeding
in those days consisted in skill in so u.s.
ing the fingers that the hand should not
be smeared quite to the wrist. That feat
accomplished, nothing more was desired
in the way of table etiquette.

Woman is primarily being who lis
tens. She has in these days lost much
Of her original teachableness, but she
has not yet entirely discarded the ap.
pearance of being teachable. In her
capacity for hearing without obeying
lies her true power. As talker she has
her peers (; as listener she is un-
equaled
II, as French writer says, the con-
versation of women in society is like the
straw in which china is packed-worth-
less In itself, but without which every
thing would be broken-the listening of
woman is what saves us from Babel of
tongues that would bring the sky about
our ears in no time. Not that woman is
always, or as rule, unwilling to use
her tongue (there is no need of being
radically, but the listener who encour-
ages you with eyes and expression and
appreciative laughter is q woman. She
never lets her glance wander in an alb
sent manner, to be brought back to
meet yours at an important point with
an effort Of which you are both keenly
conscious. To whom are you tempted
to relate bits of curious personal expert
ence, the suffering caused by some ran
dom arrow Of outrageous fortune, the
fancies suggested by some book, some
view, some journey? To a clever, SYM
pathetic woman, whose eyes brighten
with interest or sadden with sympathy
as she listens, who seems to anticipate
your next word with eager pleasure, and
who, for some reason or other, just then,
while you are in this confidential mood,
has very few experiences or fancies of
her own to communicate-only hints at
them-just enough to keep you in count
enance.

"To funny for any thing. /"

The late Republican state conven-
tion inserted several planks into its
platform that appear absolutely ludi-
c.olS wnea we consider the make up of
the couvention-the past history of the
chief bosses and managers of that holy.
But no one will be deceived by the
hollow and hypocritical professions of
these men. for their practices for years
have been in bold and direct variance
with their promises. The convention
itself treated the ''reform" part of the
platform as grand farcP. 1t was met
with jeers and sneers, and the very hall
was made to ring with shouts of deri-
sive laughter over the hollow mOckery.
The bosses will learn that the people SO
often betrayed, have as little confidence
IN their candor as they have themselves.
Their inSincerity is too transparent to
mislead anybody.
Here are the resolutions:
That as the sense of the great body
of the republican party of the state of
PENNSYLVANIA we declare:
That we unequivocallY condemn the
use of patronage to promote personal
or political ends, and require that all
Offices bestowed within the party sha IL

That confident and faithful officers
should not lie removed except for
cause.
That the non-elective minor offices
should be filledin accordance with rules

If this fight goes on and the Mitchell

is questionable whether it would not be
