Mrs. Miller VS., Mr.. MilIer.

The supreme court of Iowa recently
rendered III opinion in Il curious case.
\ couple named Miller had entered in
to the following agreement:
That Ms. Miller shall keep her home
and family in Il comfortable and rpas
enable good condition, and Mr.. Miller
shall provide for the necessary eXpeA-
Sos Of the family, and shall in addition
tn,re to pay Mrs. Miller for her indi
vj1uHI use : 200 per year, payable $40.
IS > yer mol.th so long us Mrs. Miller
shah faithfully observe the terms and
ro0i;ti~ns of this agreement.
MIS-. Miller sued Mr.. Miller for
breach OF contract. The plaintiff
alleged that while she had faithfully
fulfilled her part of the contract, the
defendant had failed to keep his agree
ment. In short, that he had not paid
her single penny for services rem
derrd us specified. The court, in the
majesty of its learning and wisdom,
decided against the plaintiff. 1t de-
clareI, in effect, that the services up
on her part were obligatory, being
IMPOSED l.y her marriage vows, and
| therefore she could collect no cOmpen
sation therefor, even though written
agreement to pay it had subsequently
| been signed.
Mrs. Miller was not we'll advised by
her lawyer. lie Ought to have told
! her that whenever Il married woman
/ takes her rights into court and at
. tempts to enforce them hy law she
generally finds that she hasn't any
| that the law is bound to respect. II
Mrs. Miller had sat mp later darning
socks and had improved the Cpportu
mites thus afforded to tap the family
till in her husband S pantaloons poke
she would have found that method
more satisfactory than going to law.

That Awful Pocket,

It would seem that women ought %
have guiding strings hanging from their
pockets to assist In discovery when the
contents are needed. How often poor
woman stands scarlet and miserable,
hunting for her pocket, while a car con-
ductor stOlidly awaits his fare. The
writer saw a variation on this. a con-
ductor wanted change for a dollar bill
A girl rendered a handful of small money,
at the same time asking to be put off at
Eighteenth street. 1t was then Twenty
third street The conductor returned the
bill and the surplus change. The giN
stuffed the bill in her glove and after
some hunting seemed to find her pocket
and dropped therein the coins. At Twen-
tieth street sudden wild look came into
her eyes, and she began fumbling for the
pocket again, and unsuccessfully. Doubt
deepened to anxiety and fear to horror
on her face. Presently she made eau
tious move.
A nickel rolled somewhere on to the
floor. She got rigid and began hunting
In different direction. We were near
ing Eighteenth street. She pretended not
to notice it, and she looked more and
more miserable. You see, she had put
the coins through the placket hole of her
dress, and not In her pocket at all. The
conductor motioned. A cent rolled to
the floor. The girl would see neither the
coin nor the conductor. Then the con-
ductor shouted, while the car waited;
Eighteenth, madam"
Go on, said the girl.
But this is Eighteenth street," re-
turned the conductor.
Down went a dime.
II don't want to get out" the girl an
swered, tears Of rage rising in her eyes.
Didn't you say Eighteenth he said.
II have changed my mind" the girl
answered desperately, a tear and three
cent piece rolling to the floor together.
Well, the writer got out at Ninth street,
and she hadn't found either her pocket
or the placket hole yet, and the floor was
all over small change. She may be rid
ing Yet.-New York Sun.

boy and he was surrounded by dozen
or more lads, all older than himself, who
were shrieking and yelling like so many
Comanches. The wee fat legs waddled
past the court house into Chambers
Ytreet at the head Of the queer procession
and the childish voice piped: "Ere's ee
Noo-ees an ee Grafeek." "HeyI heyi
bully for Peteyl" screamed the delighted
news boys in chorus. Forgetting their
sales for the moment, they were all bent
on giving the little chap a start in the
business under the best auspices.

out the storm again, and Petey and the
barefooted crowd swept past. the fat lit

the condition, prospects and general
progress of the noble red men under his

dams are in good condition; they have
bright prospects and are making steady
progress. They have quit horse stealing.
Not depreciation claim for loss of prop
erty has been filed against them for On
act committed within the past threa
years. although numerous claims are
pending for robberics prior to that time.
The Piegans have wholly abandoned the
medicine lodge, or annual gathering
one of the worst institutions of Indian
life and the cause Of much crime. They
have built sixty miles Of fence about
their homes and farms. none of which
existed two years ago
"IMey hauled their own freight from
Fort Benton last year, and were paid in
cash for doing so. They are more hon,
est, Industrious and enterprising than
they ever we're We distribute meat
from twenty to twenty-six good bae1
steers among them weekly. When
took charge of the agency only eight
steers were killed weekly. AS to ami
mails, they are all better off. We re
ceived recently ten fine Norman stall
lions and 100 good American mares, 81
as to improve their stock. They hav'
now plenty of machinery, mowers ant
reapers, and are qualified to talk
care of them. The best men in thi
country bear witness to their i'm
proved condition. Many Of them hav
taken up lands in severalty, although
none has been allotted them as yet

Pussy Goes swimming ctr Fish.

a very ordinary looking and mild
maunered cat is one of the inhabitants
of fiarry Bcnson's swimming bath. She
Is she mother of a promising family of
three, and to the superficial observer
appears no more, no less. than a well
behaved, sweet tempered, motherly old
tabby.
But, as a matter of fact, this cat is
rather an anomaly among cats; whether
she was born that way or whether Gar,
rvs own amphibious disposition is infec-
tious is not stated. However she may
have come by the popularity, this cat is
an exceedingly good swimmer, and apS
pears rather to like the water. She sits
on the edge of the "crib" at the bath for
hours watching the little minnows which
swim or are swept by the current in
through the latticed sides. When at
length a luckless fish does come within
range of her paw she reaches out like a
fash and with one swift sweep of her
forepaw she lands him on the platform,
where she devours her prey at her leis-
ura Or, if the fish remains just outside
of her reach, she will leap fairly into
the water, seize the prize with her teeth
and swim to the side again, where she
scrambles up and shakes herself after
the fashion of dogs.-Albany Journal
