AN ECONOMICAL WIFE.
The Affecting Way In Which She Cheered
Her Dying Husband.

Her Dying HusDanu'
Mrs. W. was a practical soul, and she
came of family which through all the
country side was renowned as being
near" In other words, says the St
Paul Globe, she came of race Of people
who were the reverse of generous, and
in herself She was, II may be added, the
flower Of their qualities. She had an
excellent husband, but he was stricken
down with typhoid-pneumonia, and one
morning the physician in charge an
nounced to the weeping wife that he
could live only few hours at most. In
her way Mrs. w. was fond of her hus-
band, and she was greatly affected by
tho verdict which announced her ap-
preaching separation from him. The
scene between her and her husband was
affecting in the extreme, and the nurse,
who was present in the background, was
moved to tears by the agonized fervor of
Mrs. W.'sgrfef.
George" the weeping wife said at
last, "what clothes do you want to have
on when--when-"
Tears choked her utterance, and her
husband feebly murmured that 1T did
not matter to him any more how he was
arrayed. ~A@
Then you won't mind, dearest" she
said, between her sobs, ''if we put on
your old pants? The new ones haven't
been worn but once, and we can send
them back to the tailor, and no one will
notice what sort Of pants you have on
in the cof of--cof-coff1n." -,.s.s-~-,
), Dear George was too far gone either
to care what trousers were used for the
arraying Of his remains for the tomb or
to appreciate the perfection OF his wife's
economy. He simply moaned and gave
up the ghost, leaving his wife free to
practice any economical device which
should occur to her frugal mind in the
arrangements which followed in doleful

given with roar of confused major and
minor treble. This gave them courage to
move front and flank upon my friend. when,
as afterwards learned, all the ramitica-
tions of the Broken Covenant were bat
tied over with wonderful vigor, and this as
sault in turn gave place to an interlude. or
truce, in which the entire party, minister
and all, sang with great vehemence and
feeling "Gearan Nan Gaidheal,' "The Cry
of the Gael.'' AS if they had gathered
power from the strange notes of this lam
entation, the whole coach load, driver and
all, set upon my friend and hurled at him
points in Justification" Adoption and
.'Sanctifcatono in an ecstacy of argumen-
tative frenzy. They stood up to it besides.
To see more than dozen vigorous high
landers standing as high as the lurching OF
the coach would let them, pounding their
palms and each others broad shoulders to
emphasize their arguments, each almost
singing his wildly earnest assertions in q
tongue unknown to English ears, and all
reaching climaxes of eloquence or hurting
half yelled ''Nis!-nis!'' (''Now!-now!'')
as some particularly effective point was
made; and all, to one unused to their inno-
cent ways, apparently ready to annihilate
my ministerial friend to whom they were
all devotedly attached, and who finally
was to know, with a malicious thrill of de-
light, that there is one place in the world
where the preacher must sit still and writhe.

the granite crags above us: The shadows
crept in and were marshalled in dark
phalanxes in the strath-bed far down there,
thousands of fest below. The river, now
broad and glossy, now q foaming tor
rent, and again feathery waterfall, only
disclosed its course in sound. Hints Of

against the leaden sky above the darkening
trees, or by tremendous gates before great
avenues of sycamores, or by Inverted servi-
tors standing at the roadside to catch the
mail-pouches flung to them as we ratified
by. And finally. five little daxen heads, APP

The business women and girls OF
Indianapolis are enjoying a unique and
pleasant benefit called the Noon Rest, /"
established in a central portion of the
city by the Young Women's Christian
Temperance Union. The institution is
sort of woman's club, and the "pla1t"
consists Of a number of rooms open each
week day from 10 a. m to 3p M, where
all young women who work in stores
and shops are invited to spend their
noon hours. Tables are provided for
lunches, and milk, tea, coffee, and
chocolate are served at cents per cup.
The new institution does not come
under the head Of charity" in any
sense, and the details of its manage
ment are the free offering of those who are
sensitive enough to realize the instinct
of women for the gateful seclusion
which exclusive surroundings can give.
The idea is certainly an admirable one,
and ought to be copied in other cities.
And ID would not lie a bad idea If
similar incoming resort could be provided
for men who are obliged to carry their
dinners or lunches with them.
A plain hall, neatly furnished, where
women or men could sit to eat their
lunches apart from the sights and smells
of the shops, and spend few moments
In reading or conversation under orderly
regulations, would be appreciated in
any busy community.

Is of great beauty and refinement.
insanity was pleaded in her defense,
but she was found guilty and
condemned TO death, and it was only
after a general movement in her behalf
that the death sentence was committed
TO life Imprisonment The tragedy,
taken in connection with the surround
ings of the murderess, created an UNI
paralleled sensation, and furnished the
groundwork Of a popular song that was
warbled at the music hall and whistled
by the rising generation all over tho
country. 1t is understood that Con-

10th year, will go to the United States,
where she has relatives, and reside with
them for the remainder Of her life. She
