When Hubby Comes,

1.-THE most delightful person at summer
resort is the woman with Sunday hus-
band" says one who knows, in the Albany
Journal. "She is always to be found in
some of the quieter resorts near the large
cities. She is always pretty, usually young
and the most devoted wife in the world-on
Sundays. During the week, while the hus
band is down in the city, she is the leader
in all the gayeties that are going on. She
plays tennis with the college boys like the
best of them, she f1irts with the elderly men.
who quite understand her, and she turns the
heads Of all the, quite young men, who
week days. But on Saturday night every
thing is changed. When at dusk the big
stages come rambling up to the little hos
telry, with their long seats filled with tired,
usty-looking men, she stands, the best
dressed, the most eager-eyed afectionate
little woman in all the assem-
bled crowd of guests, and when
Tom comes stepping up to the
on his coat collar as if she had done moth
ing all the week but mourn for his absence.
And Tom pats her fluffy head and feels sure
that he has the dearest little wife in all the
world, and they walk off, she clinging
fondly to his arm, quite like pair of low
ers, while all the men who have been her
slaves all the week look foolish and would
like to punch Toms empty head. But
does Tom-that the whole thing was got up
for their benefit. For woman always likes
to show a man the endearments that may
be in store for some man, even though she
has no wish or purpose that they should be
for him.

INGALLS, AND THE SKELETON,


Tho Aclduous Senator Mistaken for Doc
tors Specimen.
You'll notice that this long session ia
not having any apparent effect on Senator
Ingalls," said gentleman from the far
west in the senate gallery this afternoon,
according to the Washington Star. There
was nothing in the senator's appearance
to dispute the assertion, SO the reporter as
sented, and the gentleman from the west
went on:
II used to know Ingalls, years ago. He
was thinner then than he is now, and looked
just about the same. He lived in Atchison,
and had the reputation Of being possessed
of more brain and less flesh than any one
adult in the state of Kansas. One day he
went up to the Office Of Z friend Of his. q
doctor. and while he was in there news
boy dashed in. Now, the kids who
sold papers around Atchison in those
days were the noisiest I ever heard,
and the doctors assistant, a cheerful
young student, was always on
the alert to shut some of
them up and to prevent them from invad-
ing feet and ear piercing yells of 'S'n Louay
papers, The assistant had seen this partic-
ular boy as he entered the building, and in
an instant had placed inside the doorway of
the Office full -grown skeleton. When the
youngster threw the door open and was mid
way through one Of his destinations the
skeleton fell over on him. With q shrek
that was worse even than his regular street
cry the boy rolled down one flight of stairs
and tumbled into the street. and his muir
muring continued right straight along.
You've scared the boy to his DEATH ex-
flowing with indignation. Then he went to
the window, and bending out, called TO the
grimy but pallid face of the victim: Come
back here, boy; I'll buy some of your pa
pers. He shan't hurt you.'
1.-THE response was instantaneous. The
sobs ceased. and he shouted: NO you don't
You can't fool me If you have put your
clothes on"

M1sFoRTUNEs accumulate on the
Shakespearean head of the Hon. Thomas
Bracket Reed. Blaine has invaded his
domain to advocate South American
reciprocity and kill the Mckinley bill
and has been introduced at mass
meeting there as "Maine's greatest
statesman" and that congressional
blackguard, Billy Mason, Of Chicago, has
gone into his district to urge the speak
er's reelection. 1t was the same Mason,
it may be remembered, who said re.
Gently: "Blalne spends too much time
with rich democrats to suit me-" A
collision between the greatest states
man and the greatest blackguard on the
stump in the speakers district would be
a highly interesting event.

bill and everything else that Blaine
thinks suicidal.

THE democrats of Washington have
selected strong candidate for congress

soldier for the union and is an able law

fact that he has been elected city attor-

CHICAGO, April 2S.-The Times prints

compilation OF the humber of wage
earners, male and female in the old
wards Of the city at the present time.
The statistics were secured for the light
they cast on the anticipated labor
troubles predicted for Nav /. The

tables will suffice to show the extraya.
gance Of the scare head announcements
made by some OF the local newspapers.
The tables include all who would be
likely to inaugurate an eight hour move.
ment. The gross number is shown to
be 30l, ,704. OF these 4G2Sl are women
who. by common assent, are wholly

the brick layers, the plumbers, the plas

a Game OF Ere exe Out,

CHICAGO, April 2S.-An evening paper
says: The struggle between the Car.
penters and Builders Association and
their late employees, the striking carpen.
ters, has become merely game OF freeze
out. The members OF the Carpenters
and Builders Association have infor.
mally agreed to entirely suspend all at
tempts to carry on business for the pres.
ent. The few men OF other trades, such
as bricklayers, plasterers, and SO on,
will be discharged on Wednesday might
except in cases where delay would re.
suit in injury to the building in course
OF erection.
The shutdown by the bosses will moi
materially change the situation. Already
not ten per cent OF the usual number OF
building trade men are at work. Before
Wednesday most OF these few will have
been compelled to quit because they can
no longer proceed without the assistance
OF the carpenters. So that suspension o
operations by the bosses will hasten the
inevitable result Of a total stoppage o.
work by but few days.
