She Dabbied in Stocks.

''' ''s''''' ~ ''so'h''
1t is no use denying the superiority
OF woman, says q writer in the San
Francisco Chronicle. Whenever man
gets up shrewd scheme and makes il
a success all his fellow-men applaud
him, shake hands with him, pat him on
the back and stand him drinks. There
is modesty about female ingenuity
that prevents publicity and all its at
tendant kudos. There is married
lady in this town who would be for
tune either as an advance agent of q
show, q partner in a bank or a manip-
ulator on Pine street The produce
exchange should make her an honorary
member, and If she were in Chicago
she would be grain queen or somc-
thing like II. She was dabblng in
stocks. For most men assessments
are nightmares but assessments have
no terrors for your true woman. There
came due little matter of $50 delin-
quent on a few shares she held. Her
husband believed her pure and unspot-
ted from the stock market. Indeed he
thought she knew nothing about bus
mess at all. She was busted, had not
cent and she dare not ask him for
the money. She did not want to let
the stock 90. AS she sat demurely
trimming q new hat one evening, with
most demure and purely domestic
look OF love IN her pensive eyes, and
her devoted husband sat in dressing
gown and slippers reading opposite,
a bright idea struck her. She arose
early next morning and went down to
a friend of hers. Her husband had a
dog of which he thought the world.
He would not lose that dog for any
thing. She took that dog with her.
After she had paid her call she said:
81 wish you'd let me leave this dog
here.
Certainly"
"Ill send for him to-day if l get
home in time, but, if you don't mind,
would you just tie him up in the
yard. "
''AIl right With pleasure.
The dog was lost when the husband
got home.
"My dog gonel Somebody stolen
him! Great ScottP What shall /
do?"
81 suppose the simplest way would
be to advertise reward of $50. That
would fetch him." and the wife looked
terribly distressed at her usband's an
guish. Next mornings paper con-
,alhe1 an adVer'Isement' sou for dog
appeared with the dog, got the $50,
anu somehow or other the wife still
