How q Malicious Woman Brought TrosnNa
to Two Families.

How a Malicious Woman Brought Tro.S0l
to Two Families.
There was a sort Of languor stealing
over the soul of the telephone girl
The sun shone warmly down upon the
earth, and she was sitting near a win
dow basking in its genial rays and rev.
cling in the delicious reveries incidsne
to an attack of spring fever, while the
patrons of the exchange were doing
their best to get her attention.
"Oh, that there were no such thing
as work." she sighed. Glow dull and
aimless is a woman's life! Now, if !
were a man, 1 would HE me away to
the wild and reckless West and kick
up up such a muss as this staid old
world has never, known. Oh!
don't I wish I was a man! All, well! T
am only q poor, miserable, Tilted tele:
phone girl, and that settles it, but I tell
you, Sallie, we have some fun occa-
sionally in spite Of our being woman.
don't we now? OF purse we do, and
we are going to have some more" She
often holds such conversations with
herself, and woe to the fellow thatgives
her an opportunity to get in her work
after n of these spells. She leisurely
resumed business, and soon had the
run of dozen conversations. When
947 called, she was prompt in replying:
"Hellow
"Hello! central station, give me Ala.
please"
.tHere it is!' tta Z. ....
"Hello, Jonesw
"Hello! Who is itP"
"Alfred Winekettle, the editor of tho
weekly Outcry."
"Hello, Ali. what do you want?"
"Why, I'm going to be married Mon
day evening, and I want you to bring
your girl down to the brides residences
and stand as my best man."
''Why, ALI, you surprise me. Who
in the deuce are you going to marry2s

"'Well I should think I ami"
"Well, 1 did not know you knew
her, and if you do, I am wonderfully
surprised that you are going to marry
her"
sWhy, is there anything wrong with
herr" Here the malicious telephone
girl switched on a man who was Civ
ing his lawyer the facts on which to
base an application for divorce, and
the reply Winekettle got was as fol-
lows:
II married her nine years ago, and
we have four boys and two girls. Last
September, she left me and ran away
with a Chicago drummer, and Ibid not
know what had become of her until
about a month ago when I heard she
had returned to the city and was living
at her fathers house,"
"Can you prove all this?" cried Wine
kettle.
"Every word of it," the man re-
piled. II am going to have q divorce
as soon as I can get it, then, if she
wants to marry again, she can marry
and be blowed!'
The town is now electrified with the
sensational breaking off of the Wine
kettle Pillgargle match, and in trying
to set himself right before the people
the editor published a statement that
his. fiancee had been married to his
friend, naming him, nine years, and
they had six children, and she had run
away with a drummer, and the girl has
had him arrested for criminal libel and
his friend has thrashed him, and yet
the telephone girl is happy. as a lark

Speaking of the recent breakages
in the Direct and other cables, the EIec-
mscal World says: ut would be inter-
esting to know what were the causes Of
these breakages. They have been at
tributed to earthquakes, but without
proof. The sooner the bottom of the
Atlantic Ocean is thoroughly surveyed

the cable companies. There is still too
much guesswork in connection with the

A WOMAN'S COMPLAINT.

| know that deep within your heart of hearts
You hold me shrincd apart from common
things,
And that my step, my voice can bring to you
gladness that no other presence brings.
And yet, dear love, through all the weary
days
You never speak one word of tenderness,
Nor stroke my hair, nor softly clasp my hand
Within your own in loving, mute caress
You think, perhaps, shall be all content
To know so well the loving place hold
Within your life, and so you do not dream
How much long to hear the story told,
You cannot know, when we two sit alone
And tranquil thoughts within your mind
are stirred,
My heart is crying like tired child
For one fond look, one gentle, loving word.
Itmay be that when your eyes look into mine
You may say, GLOW dear shc is to moi"
Oh, could | read II in your soltened glance,
How radiant this plain world would be
Perhaps, sometimes, you breathe secret
prayer
That choicest blessing unto me be given,
But If you said aloud, "God bless thee, dear y
lshould not ask agreater boon from Heaven.
weary sometimes of the rugged way,
But should you say Through you my life
Is sweet"
The drearest desert that our paths could
cross
Would suddenly grow green beneath my
feet
"Tis not the boundess waters ocean holds
That give refreshment to the thirsty
flowers,
But just the drops that, rising to the skies,
From thence descend in softly falling
showers.
What matters that our granarics are filled
With all the richost's golden stores,
II We who own them cannot enter in,
But furnished stand before the close. barred
doorsY
And so It's sad that those who should be rich
In that true love which crowns our earthly
lot,
Go praying with white lips from day to day,
For loves sweet tokens, and receive them
not.

Good Breeding.

There would be fewer broken friend
ships, fewer unhappy unions and family
quarrels, were it notso much tho GUS
tom among intimate friends and rela-
tons to neglect The small courtesies Of
life, to show less and less mutual defer
encc as they grow more and more familiar.
It is the foundation Of misery in marriage,
and many a serious and lifelong es-
arrangement has begun, not from want Of
affection so much as from lack Of that
delicate and instructive appreciation of
the feelings Of others, which makes a
person shrink from saying unpleasant
things and finding fault unless abso-
lutely obliged and in any case avoid
