hod of coal from the celler ?" said
a busy house wife,
"That's just the way with you,"
said James. with black frown, as
he put'down his book and rose up
from the lounge.
"Just the way with me'"
"Yes," he snapped. LAS soon as
you see me enjoying myself. you
have some chore or another for me to
do. Didn't you see was absorbed
in my reading ?'
"Well, dear. 1 will do it myself"
Eyes, and tell everybody. your
mother, especially, that you have to
carry your own coal UP from the cel-
lar. No, I'll do it. Let me mark
my plack."
So he marked the place in the book
at which he had ceased reading and
when he went down the cellar grum-
bling all the way, she picked up the
volume and found it was love story
and the passage he had been so alb
sobed in was as follows : my dar-
ling, when you are my wife. 1 will
shield and protect you from every
care, the winds of heaven shall not
visit your face too roughly (; those
pretty hands shall never be soiled by
menial tasks your happiness"
Just then he reappeared, and,
dumping the hod on the floor, said
"There's your darned coal. Give me
my book"

"You know she wasn't nominated

O'Clock on Election day all us boys
were feeling gay and agreed to meet

knock out Wilson. Jack Ducker--
he is the toughest man in the place

it was an insult to his wife. We
wouldn't do it, and the voters COM
menced to come our way in clusters.
We got full of whisky and enthu-
siasm, and at o'clock every one was
votin' for our candidate. Well, you
know as how she was elected. We
had jollification, and when she took
her seat like a man all our fun was
busted.
II sent up to Kansas City for scme
crab apple cider just to please the
boys. She heard of it and asked me
to stop it. You can't fight woman
and she the Mayor. Then | started

were only 10 cents. She heard of it
and came to me and | had to stop.
Then the druggist, before she was
elected, used to keep blue grass Bit
ters, lemon rye and extract of malt,
and few other things like that. He
don't do it now. The Mayor heard
of it. Then two billiard rooms were
running. They're closed up now.
The Mayor don't think it is fashion,

way it is with everything. l just
couldn't stand the town and so 1
came up here"

you, and you will wait for better
days"
Then, for the first time John Dale
shed tears. Later in the day he went
to his office and DEVOTED his atten-
ton to his business affairs.
"You will see him beg for mercy"
said old Steele to the meeting of cred
itors. II know these extraVagant
spendthrifts. Dale will come here
and cry and plead. You must be
firm with him."
Just then the object of his talk en-.
tered the room.
"Hello, Steele" he said, with his
customary carelessness. "Well, gen.
tlemen, here we are. Now let us see
what can be done about this little
matter"
Old Steele glared at Dale. and the
Others looked at him In astonish-
ment. Dale did not looK like a man
! Who had been crushed BY some great
misfortune. He looked younger,
brighter and handsomer than ever,
and there was a ring of triumph in
his tones.
"Curse that fellow" said old
Steele, II wonder what is up now."
"GH%tlemen" said Dale, "hefore
proceeding to business desire to say
a few words"
Instantly there was dead silence
in the room, Dale then made calm
straightforward statement concern
ing his various enterprises, and
wound up with the admission that
his liabilities greatly exceeded his as
sets. Then he told them of the in
teryiew with his wife.
"You will now understand" he
concluded, "that this is no great mis-.
fortune, after all. If my wife is sat
isfied to share my poverty, l am the
happiest man on earth"
Dale looked around upon the group
in such frank and manly way that
all were faYorabIy impressed.
When the creditors consulted to.
gether in private Steele was the only
man who held out against compro.
mise. Then the others withdrew
and in short time returned.
1T is all right" said the leader tc
Steele, 1--WE will settle your claims
and give Dale another chance. He
is a good fellow and shan't be sacri
feed.
swell, if you will be FOOLS" snarl
ed Steele, II have no objection.
John Dale did not have to give I'll
his house, and there was no talk of
criminal prosecution. His manlA
way of meeting his difficulties ano
the devotion of his wife rallied ;
band of strong friends around him
and in the course of few days ht
was on his feet again,
Perhaps the Dales profited by thei
experience during the panic. AT al
events they did not rush headlons
into career OF extravaganza. They
modified their style of living. and il
the course of few years they had
the satisfaction of knowing that they
were out of debt and again on th'
high road to fortune.
And yet it might have been very
different. John Dale said one day t
his wife:
"When 1 told you of my failure i
you had broken down under the new
it was my intention to go to my room
and blow my brains out"
"Why. John! !" exclaimed the littl
woman, show could l have giyel
you any other answer ?"
And then Dale hugged and KISSED
, her.

The Boulevards Swept from End to
End by the Waves.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. 26.-The
terrific wind and hail storm, which began
yesterday morning, continued all through
the night with increasing fury, and at the
present writing is still raging and spread
ing destruction from end to end of the ocean
boulevards.
The sea is very high, and beats upon the
beach with great force. The sight is mag
nificent one, and is witnessed by almost the
entire population of the city.
Tn ehalfway house, just inside of the city
limits, is a complete wreck and now lies Hat
on the ground.
The board walk on the boulevard, owned
by the city, extending from Michigan ave-
nue. to Chelsea, is almost entirely carried
away.
The beach is strewn for miles with debris
Should the gale continue it is predicted that
to-night's tide will complete the work Of
destruction along the ocean front.
Many owners of properties destroyed or
damaged, are non-residents and in the con-
fusion and excitement of the hour an accu-
rate estimate of the losses cannot be made,
but they will be very heavy.
There have been many narrow escapes
from drowning but SO far no loss of life has
been reported.

PowDERLY HARD PUSHED.
A District Master Workman Fights
Him to Finish.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 26. In the Knights
of Labor convention to-day, the grievance
committee had the floor all the morning.
and the cases of District Assembly No 40,
OF New York, were disposed Of. The dele
CATION headed by James L. Quinn was con-
sldereu the only proper one, and the con-
Vent'on SO agreed.
The Massachusetts state assembly pro-
tested against ceding certain locals to the
clgarmakers, and as it proved to be hight
between the Knights Of Labor and Inter
nationals, the Knights of Labor were sus-
tanned by the Endorsement of the protest
resolution was introduced for the ex-
preston of the views of the convention on
the strike of the switchmen in this city. 1t
was referred to a committee.
TO ADJOURN TODAY.
The business of the afternoon session was
nearly all of a routine character. One or
the first things done on reassembling was
the passing of a resolution to adjourn sine
die tomorrow at noon.
The committee on appeals and grievances
resumed its work The only case of inn
portance considered was that of George
Schllllng, who as master workman of Dis
trict Assembly No. "a of Chicago, suspended
Local Assembly No. 400. The local ap-
peaied to the general master workman. and
was by him reinstated. Master Workman
Schilling thereupon appealed the case to
this body, on the ground that the master
workman of the district assembly and not
the general master workman had authority
to suspend local assemblies.
DENoUNCES PowDERLY.
During the hearing of the case, Mr..
Schllling vigorously denounced Powderly
on the floor of the assem- bly,.
When Mr.. Schilling concluded his state
ment, Mr. Powderly took the floor and
argued in justification of his action by
claiming that when the dispute arose be-
tween the district master workman and
general master workman, the latter being
the superior officer, was entitled to au-
thority.
The debate being closed, the general
assembly first refused to sustain Mr.. Pow
derly's action in reinstating the local assem-
bly,, and then refused TO indorse Mr.. Schil-
lings appeal. BY small majority vote
the whole matter was then referred to the
new general executive board.
OTHER APPEALS REFERRED.
A number of other unfinished appeal
cases were referred to the executive board.
The newly elected general officers were
installed this afternoon.
Tomorrow the legislation committee win
submit its report. 1t is understood that
Robert d. Layton and Ralph Beaumont
national legislation, with Mr.. Layton as
chairman.
The following named cities are applicants
for the place of holding the next general
assembly: Toronto, Atlanta, New Orleans,
Toledo, Albany and Providence. 1t is
thought tonight that either Toronto OF
Atlanta will be chosen.
