ONLY TOO TRUE
A Loving Couple Immediately After Mar
rage and Six Months Later.

riag e and Six Months Later.
1t is quite easy to tell the compare
tive length of time a man and woman
have been husband and wife from the
manner in which they conduct them
selves on the street. The department
OF the man is more of an indication
than that of the oma Two weeks
with their necks in the matrimonial
moose, and when they walk down
town together the young wife stops
before a shop window resplendent with
articles of dress, so dear to the eye OF
woman and to the purse OF a man, and
she remarks as she points to a display
of rich dress goods: "Aren't those
lovely. dear: and just look at those
laces, aren't they beautiful and,
bending low over his precious charge,
the young husband, fattered because
his opinioni is asked regarding material
for ornamentins the opposite sex.
breathes: Charming. dear: superb.
and you must soon have a dress oil
that very piece" and she looks up in
to his face with kindling eyes. and
SAYS: ..You precious darling, your
too good to live"
He sort OF recover from the fit OF
goodness that has fallen on him, how
ever. and three months later the same
couple walks down the street and by
the same shop-yindow. There are the
beautiful dress goods, and the eyes OF
the Young wife gaze wistfully at them
as she draws her reluctant husband up
to the glass. Charley says she,
don't you remember that you prom
ised to buy ME a dress off that piece
oyer there some time ago?'
Yes he replies. but 1 had so
much to think of that | forgot all
about it. but you can have i. the last o:

Two months more slip by, and again
the couple pass the window. Now she
is not on familiar terms enough with
her husband to warrant her in leaning
on his arm. Her ewes fall on the win
dow with its rich display. and. reach
ing out, she touches her husband
arm. and, turning toward the window.
says: Charley, look here and
Charley replies. 30, come on. You
make me tired. Why don't You spend
the most OF your time gawking into
windows should think you would,
the proprietors would be tickied to
death to have you. You must think
I'm stuck on dress goods. and with
i yank the Young husband tears his
arm away from the tender grip of his
wife. and starts off down the street,
with her following meekly behind.
and. a little further on. he makes her
stand outside OF u cigar store while he
goes in and chins the proprietor about

EDMUNDs BILL.
why Eae Wants 90 Give the Pres.
ident More Power.

WAsHISoroN, July LA reporter Of
the Associated Press called upon Sena-
tor Edmunds to-day and asked him for
an explanation Of his bill introduced
yesterday relating to the Presidential
appointing power and of the results
which were to be expected to follow its
enactment into . law. Mr.. Edmunds
said that the influence Of the executive
over the Senate and Senators on account
of the posse ssion of vast patronage was
so great that the President practically
now had the power Of appointment to
all Of those officers which are not
among the exceptions named in the bill
and it was only in extreme instances Of
discovery Of bad conduct and bad char
acter such il they had come to the
knowledge of any honest President
himself he would have refused to make
the appointment that the Senate re-
jected a nomination. Therefore, Ed
munds thought, that it waz an object Of
pnblic interest to diminish the extent
and power of Presidential patronage aa
come ,ted with its influence on the two
houses of Congress and particularly the
Senate.

WASHINGTON. July Riddlebergel
introduced preamble and bill for tn,
reduction by twenty-tive per cent of tn,
salary Of cabinet officers, senators anc
members. He addressed the Senate IL
its favor. He said that discussions or
$1,000 clerkships and such things were
sufficient to justify the hope that the

sion Of Congress. II they were to com
mence reductions of $1,000 clerks and to
conclude with reductions of per diem

go back and begin at the head. The
