Ibis wife. A certain oculist here in
town took him in hand.

?! s'Are they?" gasped the man.
f "Of course they are. You just come
and let me- fit your eyes and you won't
Faknow your OVID wife, SAID the meddle-
some person.
His assertion proved to be true.
One morning the man kissed his wife
gayly as he said good by. and went off
to the eye mans office. When he re-
turned to lunch he was excited and
and eager.
by Jove! we need new carpet,o eX-
claimed he. as he entered the hall of his
fiat. His wife had already told him,
but he had never believed her.
"By Jove! | need new w" he
added, in whisper.
The sentence was never finished. AS
his wife kissed him she accidentally
knocked Off his glasses. and then ACCT
dehtally stepped upon them. 1t was
awkWard-very.
MY new glasses!' he. cried piteously
Your old ones were good enough.'
retOrted his wife calmly.
May we all be relied upon to grasp
each situation as well!
But what nonsense! A letter to girls,
and no moral! There are SO many to
talk morals
And really. to be amused and have a
good time is the main thing in this
world.
But as you cannot have a good time
without being good girls. perhaps there
is moral in it after all.

The writer of the article adds with
much feeling that such girls-who are
always good enough to be lovabfe, aud
bad enough to be fasciHating-ar the
StrawS which show which way the
masculine wind blows.
Again, the writer says:
THAT tfiereiS affecting of interest on
these questions among thousands of our
girls is a matter that admits of no
doubt +
In short. to behave or not to behave is
serious thing for considera ton.
The. writer does not know girls
There are girls and girls, and will be
until the eud of time. The dimpled
ones will keep right OH shocking the
others, who, If dimpleless, are decor
Gus.
Why?
Because they cannot avoid doing so.
Another thing l wonder about. but not
much. is. why SO many men think we
are fools?
Perhaps one reason is because we pre-
tend SO much. We pretend, but not
we'll enough to convince. We pretend
we do not read French novels when we
do. We pretend we do not unders tand
heap of things which we do. We are
very queer that way, We forget that
ignorance is not what men admire, and
that knowledge and innocence are often
twins.
But again. perhaps their conclusions
are reached in the occult way, which
enabled Roman emperor to determine
upon which leg roasted pheasant had
roasted. They may, in other words,
have proved us so by observation. They
may, for instance, have watched us
alight from bus. Do you know our

We amble down the steps with gown

inane smile, and kittenish caper upon
the cobbestones. We walk down those
steps with our back turned squarely to
the horses and fine disregard of the
hand rail.

as flick fly from his back with his tail

Yet is this because we are fools? Is 1t

The young mother was in perfect
rapture.
1t was an ugly baby. but she did not
know it.
Happy young mother.
All OF them are like her.
But the father had dark misgIvings.
His salary was only SIS per week, and
babies are expensive luXuries.
Her father was rich, but he had

lieterodox and heretical notions as to
supporting Son-in-Iaw besides.
Cruel old man.
One day, when the baby was about a
month Old. the father came home from
his desk and found his wife radiant.
She was even happy when the baby
was out of her sight.
What is it, Jennie?'' asked her hus-
hand gloomIly. for he was vet uncertain
as to the blessings conferred by the
baby.
He was also sleepy.
"Oh, Charlie" she ehirruped, II heard
from papa today"
Charlie looked gloomier than ever.
Don't say anything. dear" she
pleaded, for she knew her husbands
opinion of her father. ''He has heard
OF our baby, and, though he has not yet
determined to forgive us, he has sent
us a check for $1,000 for dear baby's
sake.''
At first the young husbands face
showed a CLEAN of pleasure, then it

soldier had so longed TO see. Years ago,
when the bodies were removed from the

New York Recorder.
Now, this is a. true story" said a
gentleman, whose Office is door or two

is. was it fate. physic attraction, an
everything Providence or-but I'll tell
you the incident.
!; when the war broke out MY brother
and a claSSmate of his, to whom he as
much attached, both enlisted at the
same time and departed for the South,
leaving behind in the little town in
Western New York their young wives,
to whom they had been married but a
short time. My brothers. chum, whom
we may call Ned Brown for con-
venience, had, / think, been a hus-
for the front. Brother Jack was soon
after transferred to the adjuIant gen
-eraPs department, so saw little of active
service, and Ned was in the division of
the army which remained inthe vicinity
of Washington for about year. Then
came the battle of the Wilderness and
with it the startling intelligence to Jack
that Ned had been MORALLY wounded
ana had sent for him. He made all
haste to the side of his friend. who soon
after his arrival died in his arms.
'tAS W as usual after great battles, the
dead were buried, many together, in
large trenches, and my brother was
much troubled over the probability of
there being no means of locating or
Identifying the body, when. as he felt
sure, the family would wish to send for
it. There had been little son born to
the young soldier in that far-away viii
lage bv the lake, and he felt that the
child, who had never looked upon his
fathers face, would one day want to
know at least where his body lay.
1.-THE men, in charge assured Jack
that the body should be placed at the
head of the trench. and if any mark
could be left upon it. it would be easily
found. For some tine my brother wan-
dered what he could do. Then an idea
struck him. He found bottle. and,

Inc Rock Island county delegation re,
turned from Bushnell last night after
having placed Gest among the relics of
the past. When the delegation went
down it was known TO be just lukewarm
and that was all and after it's arrival there
the fact was doubly demonstrated. The
utter absence of any buttonholing tactics
on the part of the delegates from this
county showed only too plainly that they
were there more as a matter of form than
anything else. That the delegation Sc,
lected was not in harmony with the in
structicns given was made apparent at
every turn. Only IS out Of the 81 ap>
pointed were in attendance. which
showed that there was trouble some
where in whipping them into line.
1t was smusin% TO note the difference
in the expression IF the faces of the Rock
Island delegates on the return trip from
what it had been on the way down.
Something seemed 10 please them all,
and most anyone could have guessed
what it was. Steve" Hull claims
the honor singly of having worked Stur-
geon's nomination through. "Steve" is q
pretty smooth fellow. but he hasn't yet
explained how he managed to secure
Gest's nomination.
Surgeons nomination was somewhat
of surprise, 1t was decided in the
morning 10 present has name, and was
given him as sort OF Balm of Gilead.
The effects were almost instantaneous,
and it is wonderful the change it has
wrought.
The feeling in the lower end of the
district was very bitter toward Gest, il
being the general opinion expressed by
the delegates from the lower counties
til at he did not merit a denominations and

very hard to tell them anything different.

taken is given below. The informed bal
