Allaying Suspicion.
THE FESTIVE DRUMMER SATISFIES A JEAL-
OCs WIFE.

The wors, case Of suspicion and jealousy
in the Northwest has just been cured, the
patient beng the wife of well known
travelling man. says the 81. Paul HeTaid.
She had noticed that her husband never
brought his grip home with him, but always
left il al the store when he came in from a
trip. and in her jealousy she imagined IT to
be filed with love letters, appointments of
meetings with various fair ones, etc, etc.
4 few Gays since, while her husband was on
q trip through Dakota, She went down TO
the store and, approaching the porter,
SAID
John, you like 10 make A dollar honest
ly when YOU can, don't you p
"Oh. ,es'm.
"loa kuow whare my husband keeps his
g.ip when he cone, III, don't YOU ?"
"Nr>'m. lie throws il down in a corner
Of the o'licc an leaves it there"
"We.i. look here John. He will be in on
the Northern Pacific train tomorrow morn
Ing. and t, at the first opportunity, YOU slip
his Grip out of the house and bring il up to
me l give You a dollar Iou can bring
i mack again in half an hour"
The porter consented, and two days later
presented hmsei:at the drummer's residence
with the grip in his hand. lie explained
that he Ind not before had an opportunity

the paItar. the woman carried her pliAe to

six regulations may be adopted. In rare
cases some pupils may refuse to join, they
may be reached in private and induced to
take the pledge. New pupils may be
pledged in private or before the school.
The pupils will feel that the laws are their
own and that they are under peculiar obi
cations to obey and sustain them.

that his authority extends over the person
