The ''last word" is the most dangerous of
Internal machines, remarks Ouida, the well
known novelist. Husband and wife should
no more fight to get it than they would
struggle for the possession of a lighted bomb
shell. What is the use of the last words
After getting it a husband might, perhaps,
as an American paper suggests, advertise to
whistle for a wager against a locomotive;
but in every other respect his victory would
be useless and painful. 1t would be Cad
mean victory, in which the victor would
suffer as much as the vanquished A farmer
cut down a tree which stood SO near the
boundary line of his farm that it was doubt
full whether it belonged to him or to his
neighbor. The neighbor, however, claimed
the tree and prosecuted the man who cut it
for damages. The case was sent from court
to court Time was wasted and temper lost,
but the case was finally gained by the pros
ecutor. The last of the transaction was that
the man who gained the cause went to the
lawyers Office to execute a deed of his whole
farm, which he had been compelled to sell to
pay his costsl Then, houseless and homeless,
he thrust his hands into his hip pockets and
triumphantly exclaimed, "I've beat him!" In
the same way husband and wife may become
bankrupt of heartwealth by endeavoring to
get the last word

Some time ago when Janisch, the pretty
Austrian actress, was playing in New Or
leans, she visited one of the engine houses. 1t
was proposed for her especial benefit to call
out the fire company as in regular answer to
an alarm. The madame was invited to seat
On the hose carriage, where she could better
watch the fremen as they slid down the pole
into their places on the engine. All uncon-
scious, she lifted her dainty skirts and climbed
up into seat. The alarm was sounded the
firemen came tumbling down, the big horses
sprang into their places and before Janisch
could say Jack Robinson" she was whirled
out Of the engine house and up st. Charles
avenue, clinging to the driver and shrieking
"Mon Dieul" at the top of her voice. The
experience was altogether genuine surprise
to the actress and one that she will not likely
forget. New Orleans Picayune. =,

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach adopted
by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward
off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances
the inherent strength Of the body suffices to
enable it to oppose the tendency toward death.
Many, however, have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In other
cases little aid to the weakened lungs will make
all the difference between sudden death and
many years of useful life. Upon the first symp-
toms of a Cough, Cold, or any trouble of the
Throat Lungs, give that old and wel-known
remedy Boschee's German Syrup-a careful trial,
1t will prove, what thousands say of it, to be the
"benefactor of any home.'

THE SANDWICH MAN.



Vim .szs.i, ::>son.
Among the curious incidents in Col Maple
sons Memoirs" is the story of an officer in
the British army, who told the substance OF
his down grade career in social position: Il
was formerly" he said, "a captain in the
regiment, and many a time have paid my
six guineas for box at your opera, both III
Edinburgh and in London. Subsequently
began to take great interest in the turf, and
soon met with heavy losses, which compelled
me to give various promissory notes. This
at last came to the knowledge of my colonel,
who recommended me to leave the regiment
without delay. Having nothing to live upon,
and being fair perfozzner on the cornet-a-
piston, joined travelling circus, and ulti
mately came across your opera company IN
Philadelphia, where l was one of your stage
band Later on l joined a party who were
bound for the diamond fields in South Africa,
where l was most unsuccessful and l had to

mine died, and 1 found myself the possessol

''My cousin, who was largely interested in
Du1lQlng operations, WHICH ne assured me
paid him at least 60 per cent, induced me to
place half my fortune in his speculations.
His houses were in the west part of London,
which had been considerably overbuilt; and,
being mortgaged, they would have been lost
but for my paying away the remainder of
my fortune with the view of saving them. In
spite of this the mortgage foreclosed and l

On my handing the poor man his salary
and settling up, he at first declined to take

many kindnesses at different periods of his
life that now, when l was in trouble myself,

The Yellow Garter.


The very latest and funniest within
is the wearing OF the yellow garter.
Just one garter, not two, you under
stand, and it must be worn just above
the left knee. The other stocking
may be wrinkled disconsolately over
the shoe top or be fastened in place by
any one or all of the mysterious de-
vices known only to the initiated, but
the left one is held firmly by a band of
yellow silk elastic, with a ribbon
rosette of the same shade, and the cor
rect and proper thing is to wear it
night and day for six months.
The yellow garter's origin is
shrouded in murky uncertainty, but
its significance is known to every Girl
who possesses it, and this Is its
charm-Any girl who wear a yellow
garter above her knee is sure to be en-
gagged in less than six months. The
garter must be given to her by q
friend, she must not make or buy it.

its purpose but once. and the owner
