IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT WITT
 HER. E

IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT WITH HER "
 The pretty school teacher, for a little Advertisement, had asked her class for the best original definition of "wife," and the boy in the corner had promptly re- sponded, "A rib."
 She looked at him responsibility and nodded to the boy with the dreamy eyes who seemed anxious to say something.
 "Man's guiding star and guardian angel" he said, in response to the nod.
 "A helpmeet," put in little fiaxen- haired girl. s-. ,s
 "What kind of meat ?' roared the boy in the corner. When order had been partially restored the engineers son called out: -.
 "An eccentric" ..
 "No, a regulator" said his brother. "Yes, that's right-a regulator, 'chimed in the boy who had been reading about vigilantes.
 "One who soothes man in diversity, J suggested demure little girl.
 "And spends his money when he's fiush," added the incorrigible boy in the corner.
 There was lull, and the pretty, dark eyed girl said slowly: "A wife is the envy of spinsters.' cone who makes man hustle," was I the next suggestion.
 ''And keeps him from making a fool oi hinself,n ? put in another girl.
 "Some one for man to find fault with when things go wrong,' said sorrowfu little maiden.
 "Stop right there," said the pretty school teacher. "That's the best defini tion."
 Later the sorrowful little maiden sidIed up to her and asked:
 "Aren't you going to marry that hand some man who calls for you nearly every day?"
 "Yes, dear," she replied, "but with us nothing will ever go wrong. He says SC himself"

Two ladies, presum- ably mother and daughter, were seated on one of the back seats. The speaker alluded to the force bill," and the younger lady in whisper asked the mother what the bill was. With an air of superior knowledge she replied, "Oh, it's Q bill passed which forces a man to vote as his employer wishes him to- And who says women shall not vote ?- RockUille Joua4a0s

HE GOT THE JOB.

WANTED-A bright boy to begin at the bottom of the ladder in my office, and gradually work up by his own consa{sa- tious efforts until can take him 4ato partnership and marry him to my only daughter. Call at 9462 w. IA 1-2 street.
 Mir. Gotrox sat in his office, impatiently waiting the answers to his ad. which he knew would come.
 In few minutes, one after anothel, a. large number of lads filed in some of them breathless from running, having read their morning papers little late. MT. Gotrox looked them over quickly with his eagle eye and dismissed all but two.
 Now, boys," he said, after he had talked with them bit, II like the looks of you both, and will employ the one who does a simple thing the best" He should have said sbetter," inasmuch as there were only two boys, but he was not that sort of man during business hours.
 'Here are two packages just alike, which have just been delivered here, T he said. "John," addressing the sad-eyed, Al OsIu J -1OOhAiS JOuuu, ACp LAO oOo JOo open this parcel"
 Then John winked at himself, and said in his heart: 'This is indeed snap. How glad am that am upon or on to this little scheme!" And with great care and patience he tugged and picked at the hard knots, and, after long effort, took the cord off in one piece, wound it into 8 neat coil, carefully folded up the coarse wrapping paper and stepped back, trying hard to conceal the triumph in his.eyes.
 MT. Gotrox made no remark, except, "Now, Sam, it is yoar turn"
 Poor Sam! He had never had any ad- vantage to speak of, as he had been obliged to hustle good deal all of his life, and had never read any stories of good boys who had become great. He whipped out his jack-knife, cut the cord in four places quicker than wink, and kicked the wrapping paper into the corner. 'eYou are the boy for me; ? shouted MT. Gotrox, "and you may go to work at once. John,'' he said, 's.you are 8 good boy, but you should have lived in 184a.

A TERROR OF THE TROPICS.


 One of the deadliest serpents of the tropics is the fer-de-l lance, of which there are at least eight varieties. Lafcadio Hearm says that the reptile is of precisely the color which enable it to hide among the foliage or the roots of trees. Some- times it is of bright yellow, and one can scarcely distinguish it from the bunch of bananas within which it coils.
 Again it may be black, yellowish brown, or of any hue resembling tropical mould, old bark, or decomposing trees. The iris of the eye is orange, with red flashes, and it glows at night like burning coal. In Martinique the fer-de-lance is-ahsn- lute lord of the forest by day, and at night he extends his dominion over parks and public roads. The only safety lies in remaining at home after dark, unless one lives in the city itself and it is always dangerous to enter the forest even at noon without an experienced escort. At any moment branch, a root, 8 bunch of pendant fruit may take life, writhe spring, and strike death to the heart. One creature however has no fear of the fer-de-lance. Horses tremble at sight of it; dogs whine and shiver; the hen at tempts to defend her chickens, and the pig offers more success sful combat; but it is the cat who fights the monster most undauntedly. The author of A Midsum- mer Trip to the Tropics describes such an encounter.
 The cat upon seeing snake carries her kittens to place of safety, and then boldly advances to the encounter. She walks to the very limit of the serpent's striking range, and then begins to feint, teasing him, startling him, trying to draw his blow.
 How the emerald and topaz eyes glow then! They are flames. A moment more and the triangular head, hissing from the coils, flashes swift as If moved by wings. But swifter still the stroke of the armed paw that dashes the horror aside, flinging it mangled in the dust.
 Nevertheless pussy does not dare to spring The enemy, still alive, has almost instantly reformed his coil. She is in front of him, watching vertical pupil against vertical pupil. Again the flashing stroke, again the beautiful countering; again the living death is hurled aside. Now the scaled skin is deeply torn; one eye socket has ceased to flame. One more, the stroke of the serpent one more, the light, quick, cutting blow.
 But the reptile is blind, supplied. Before
 he can attempt to coil, pussy has leaped
 upon him, mailing the horrible fiat head
 fast to the ground with her two sinewy
 paws. Now let him lash, writhe, twine,
 strive to strangle her. In vain. He will
 never lift his head. An instant more and
 he lies still. The keen white teeth of the
 cat have severed the vertebra just behind
 the triangular skull.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

l New York Sun: Electroplating has been applied in an ingenious and effective manner for the preservation of lace forms i in metal. An inexpensive and effective lace of good pattern is hardened by satu- ration with substance that sets quickl ly and Is fashioned into the form of some article, as lamp shade. The pattern is then subjected to the electroplaiiag proc ess with the same result that filmy beauty of the laceais preserved to the last detail in silver or gold. As the process is oi trifiing cost, compared to the labor re- quired to produce lace forms in metal by hand work, and, as the quantity of metal used Is only film, the price of such work is much smailer than might be expected from appearances.

Professor Hechler, of Vienna, says re- cent discoveries in Egypt and Assyria have vindicated in a remarkable degree the accuracy of the historic portions of Scripture; that the Assyrian inscriptions completely corroborate the chronology of the Bible. He declared that the attempts made to verify, or rectify the chronology of the Old Testament by reference to the Septuagint, are vain, as the dates of the Hebrew Bible are found to be more trust worthy than those of the Greek version.

The large auditorium was soon filled to overflowing and overflow meetings held in the largest of the city churches near. Mrs. s. B. Forbes, state president of Connecticut, was in attendance, as were most of the other state presidents, only five states being represented by presidential substitutes. Mrs. Mary l.. Burt sat proudly at the head of the largest state delegation-New York having just fifty representatives. Mrs. Mary T. Lath- rop, the '.Daniel Webster of the temper ance reform," was unexpectedly and hap oily in attendance.
 The large building was most beautifully and appropriately decorated, the English and American flags, the national, state and local banners and notices and the red, white and blue signed pledge cards of the children, united in charming and significant way. A beautiful ensign and flag were sent by the governor of Cobra do, the former prepared especially for the dedicatory exercises in Chicago, where it was carried by the governor and staff. .s---
 We make the following quotations from Lady Henry Somerset's opening prayer "We bless Thee that we believe that Thou hast great intentions for this world. We thank Thee for all the noble purposes that we see in the hearts of men and wo- men, and we ask thee to give us strength to roll away those stones that are sealing the sepulcheres of many lives, and to bring forth those who are dead in tres passes and sin into the light and life of thy presence. We praise Thee for all Thou hast given women to do for Thy service and Thy honor. We ask thai | Thou wouldst bless every member of this assemblage and that thou wouldst stil all that is not of Thee and ripen all thai is beautiful and bright with the sunshine of Thy glorious presence" '.@@.
