An Anti-MatrimoniaI Club.


A short time ago waiter in New
York club of bohemian bent approach
ed member the house committee.
who was occupying several chairs in a
corner of the smoking-room, waiting
until he thought his wife would be
asleep before he started for home, and
remarked that he would like to have
few days off about the first of the month.
''Cert'ny, said the clubman, quickly,
''tak week if wanter." The waiter bow
ed and said: "Oh, thank you much,
sir, but should only want few days.
then, after q short pause, Il am goin'
to be married, sir" WHAT" the club
man SAID. springing to his feet and
looking at the old retainer in the eve.
'.you don't really mean to say that you
re going to do it?" "Ye-yes, sir" said
the man timidly, "Why, my dear
fellow" said the clubman, struggling
eycitedly to his feet and Selling the old
waiter by the shoulder, shave you any
idea what you are going to doP It's
the most appalling thing imaginable.
If you still have time to get out of it cut
and run, for heavens sake. We all of
us think too much ofyou here to see you
sacrificed. Here: I'll tell you what; if
you'll promise not to do it I'll see that
your salary is raised $40 a month";
This glittering and seductive offer being
Iefused, the clubman rushed out to
where the others were and appealed to
them. The club has what is probably
The most extraordinary collection of
married men in New York, and the
manner in which they rushed forward
to a man, and tried to persuade the
aged club servant to pause in his head

| and unanimous. After four days of the
siege, the waiter, who has great regard
for the impecunious but agreeable men,
bers of the club, and is easily influenced
by argument, finally gave in and broke
the engagement A purse of considera-
BILE proportions was made up for him
on the spot and he was warmly con-
graduated. The humorous part of the
affair was the utter seriousness and
earnestness with which it was carried
through. Nobody in the club seemed
to look at it in any other but tragic
light the marriage state with most of
them being anything but an idle dream
of love. Now there is a fresh complica-
ton in the fact that the young woman
to whom the waiter was engaged is
going to begin a suit for breach of
promise. She is n cook in the house of
criminal lawyer of some notoriety,
and he is taking the case in hand. The
clue is against her to man. Boston

Wisconsin Postmaster's Salaries.

aggregating $3,6S4,0 are allowed.
The gross receipts were 1872, 400, 1926. II,
showing an increase of S69S, l04. 81 over
the preceding year In Wisconsin the
aggregate of salaries allowed to the
seventy-six presidential postmasters is
1921, 200, ut whose offices the gross re-
ceipts for the fiscal year were 1898, 900,
or about $4,000 less than the proceed

Surprised at the bath.

One of the Bancrofts lives over at San
Rafael Even the terrible loss he has
sustained in the big fire cannot make
him forget his wife's conduct and the
scare she gave him. He had gone across
the bay early in the afternoon of the
day the fire took place, and reaching
his home he turned in to take nice
warm bath and fix himself for COM
Portable evening. While he was in his
bath a telegram came over. His wife
opened it. IL read:

How Women Sit.

There are few who can or do sit down
squarely and honestly. They either sit
on foot or wriggle themselves several
degrees out Of that position usually as
sumed by man of weight and purpose.
Dumb-bells can give man strong lum-
bar muscles, and sand-bag can create
a posture which means strength and
erectnesS, but what can be done that the
female body can be taught the straight
sit down? Shall she be unbustled and
clad, like the Greeks. in straight folds
and unprotruding effects in gown and
gear? In the days when ''tie-backs''
ragged it was then impossible not to sit
sideways, but 'tie-backs" no more exist
to show the length of limb and cause
the blush TO arise. Why can't women
initiate the men they see in the ears, sit
ting straight, staring straight, never
moving limb or muscle. immersed in an
almost Budlhistic indifference. per-
feet picture OF solid sitter? Some
conundrums are asked but never solved.

The Presidents VetOes.

Mr.. Cleveland 5 campaign biographies
do not report that he ever made a study
of medicine, yet the easy manner in
which he filings aside pension applica-
tions as fraudulent can hardly be JUS
titled except by a thorough knowledge
in this department.
He has vetoed number of pension
bills because he thinks is is absurd that
service in the army should have devel-
oped disability years after a man s dis
charge. He denounces as fraudulent the
claim that new disability in person
drawing pension had its origin in
the service.
1t is safe to say that no competent
medical man would indorse these views
of the President. 1t is entirely reason
able that disability should develop late
in life, long after the close of the war,
and be due entirely to exposure in the
service. Young men do not always
give immediate evidence of injury from
exposure In many cases it is only
when the vital powers begin to fail
| through the approach of old age that
the exposures of youth make themselves
| felt The disabilities are none the less
severe and none less due to early ex-
posture because the remote causes have
been without apparentinfluence through
| the years of greatest vitality.
Every physician knows that young
man may indulge in all sorts of excuses
without apparent effect on his physical
| system, and then when he reaches what
may be the prime of his life, he may
| break down as consequence of these
early designations. A boy may smoke
excessively without apparent bad effect,
and then develop heart disease late
in life rs consequence of his early
excess. Exposures and injuries may
have left no large traces, yet at the first
approach of old age they may assert
themselves and disable the victim. 1t
is the impudence of ignorance for the
President to wrathfully declare that to
be impossible which is common in the
experience of all medical men.
James w. Farris was pensioned six
teen years after his discharge for chronic
diarrhea He afterward filed an APP
plicatiop for increase OF his rate, alleg-
/ ing that in 1884 his eyes became
affected in consequence of his previous
ailments. The President saws: 1.-The
ingenuity developed in the constant and
uersisting attacks upon the public treas
pry by those claiming pensions and the
increase of those already granted is ex-
hibited in bold relief by this attempt to
include sore eyes among the results of
diarrhpa.
/ There is nothing unreasonable in the
proposition of this claimant There
/ may be a doubt as to the fact, but there
is nothing absurd in the suggestion that
the same exposures which induce
chronic diarrh@a and produce general
debility, are also the predisposing cause
of sore eyes. No medical man con-
siders all diseases of the eyes as local.
Almost always there is general con-
dition as a part of the disorders of the
I eyes.
/ 1t is shameful that this ignorance of
the President should lead not merely to
/ the rejection of claim that may be
/ just, but should also be able to give a
bad reputation TO man who may be
an honorable and deserving soldier

Death OF David Davis.

Judge David Davis died at Blooming
ton, H., last Saturday morning.
Judge Davis physician says the i'm
mediate cause of his death was erysipe-
las, the outcome of malignant carbun-
Gle, which first appeared April 80, but
that diabetes, which must have been in
sidiously working for two years, was the
primary cause and to it is attributed his
rapid decline in flesh. For week be-
fore the end he had been unconscious
most of the time.
SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
David David was born in Cecil Coun-
ty, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
March 8, 1915. His father owned a
plantation on which were number of
slaves. Young Davis was sent to Ken
yon College, Ohio, where he was grad
uated in 1882. He then went to Lenox,
Mass, and read law in the office of
Judge Henry w. Bishop, father of Hen
ny W. Bishop, of Chicago, Master in
Chancery in the United States Court.
In 1886 Mr.. Davis was admitted to the
bar, and went to Bloomington, H., to
live. He practiced law there contin-
uously until his elevation to the Circuit
bench. Prior to that, in 1888, he mar
ried Miss Sarah W. Walker, of Lenox,
Mass, who for forty years was faith
full and devoted wife. She died in 1879.
In 1910 Mr.. Davis was the Wing candi-
date for the State Senate, but was de-
feated. -Four years later he was elected
a member of the lower branch of the
Legislature, and in 1917 was a member
of the Constitutional Convention. Upon
the adoption of the Constitution formed
in l848, Mr.. Davis, then but 33 years
old, was elected Judge of the Circuit
Court in his district, the Eighth. Judge
Davis sat on the Circuit bench two full
terms, and was reelected to a third, but
he-resigned in 1862 to accept Mr.. Lin
coins appointment to an Associate JUS
ticeship of the United States Supreme
Court. At the meeting of the Liberal
Republican National Convention in Gin
cinnati in May, 1872, Mr.. Davis received
1877 votes for President, but was defeated
by Horace Greeley. In 1876 Mr.. Davis
was elected Senator from Illinois in the
place of John A. Logan, and resigned
his seat ON the Supreme bench. He was
chosen President pro tempore of the Sem
ate. His Senatorial term expired in
1888, and since then he has lived in re-
tirement on his splendid farm near
Bloomington. Judge Davis leaves an
immense estate. He is said to be the
owner of some sixty farms in Illinois
He leaves widow. two children son
in Bloomington, and "a daughter whose
husband resides in Toledo Ohio.

as flying visit to the Burg this week.
Daniel has not improved in his personal
appearance since we last gazed upon
him. His alabaster brow his become
corrugated with deep lines of care His
nose yet preserves its Grecian line OF
beauty, however.
1t then comments as follows in prose
and verse:

rendered him incapable of supporting
