that she knew French.
She and NJ. Guy de Maupassant are
indeed, in odd contrast, and yet closely
alike. His range IS perhaps as narrow
as hers; he avowedly goes out Of bis

whereas she obviously makes her ar

LOVE ON A DEATH BOX.
A Chicago Driver Takes His sweetheAr'

Barney Sullivan He drives "A hearse
for a Madison street undertaken. lie
has led moro funeral professions to
Calvary in the past two years than any
other driver in the city About year
ago he took Maggie Dooley to see Joe
Murphy in "Shaun Rhue," and she is
talking about it to this day. Not long
ago, however, Barney met the Widow
McGraw, whose husband was killed
last summer in the Burlington yards.
His life was insured for $1,000. The
widow put every dollar Of it in bank,
and it's drawing per cent.
She has an income of ten dollars a
month from the interest and twenty
dollars more from where she cooks.
She is employed in the household OF n
Prairie avenue gentleman. 1t was at a
wake that Barney became acquainted
with the Widow McGraw. She was
smitten with his red whiskers and win
ming WAYS He escorted her home, and
on tho way they stopped at II restau-
rant and ate oysters, both raw and
fried Barney was invited to call,
which he did, and on leaving he told
the widow that it was the most enjoya-
BILE evening he had spent since he came
to America And it was arranged that
they should go buggy riding Sunday
afternoon if the day was fine.
Barney forgot all about engaging q
rig until 10 o'clock in the morning. He
went to several stables on the West
Side, but could not hire horse for love
or money. The day was delightful,
and everybody was out driving about
the parks and along the boulevards.
He telephoned to Leroy Payne's, and
offered ten dollars for a rig for two
hours, but he might just as well have
offered ten cents. There wasn't horse
or buggy to be had in all Chicago. As
last resort he hitched up a team OF
cream colored horses to a white hearse
dilu STARTED LOT IdiIlc AVENUE.
The hearse rolled noiselessly along
over the granite paved avenues, and
Barney was in the height of his glory
In front of where the widow is EN-
ployed he turned in SO close that the
wheels of the learse scraped against
the curbstone. People in the neigh
borhood went out on the front steps to
inquire who was dead Presently Bar
ney and the widow came out of the
house and mounted the drivers box.
AS the hearse rolled away peals OF
laughter split the air They drove in
impressive dignity down Drexel bouIe
ward, and then turned the heads of the
cream colored horses toward Jackson
park.
Thousands Of persons saw the strange
vehicle circling around the park bu,
they didn't know what to make of it.
Barney and the widow paid no atten
ton to the caustic comments made
upon them from time to time They
enjoyed the drive as well as they would
have done in landau; for on the way
home it was all planned that the Widow
McCtraw will soon change her name to
Sullivan. Chicago Herald

She's censor as she sits
At my elbow In rocker;
And my pencil as II llits
Trembles lest word should shock her
For she's told me once or twice.
With precision monumental:
"Do no matter what the price.

"But it's easier, my dear
To he cold and very cutting"
Ireply, but she'll not hear
Says she's had enough Of but-ing
Easy, sir?" she says again,

For you'll easier damage do
Than undo it,"
So promised to obey

You'll concur, sir, when add
