the house"
"The worst kind OF a tyrant," re
turned the woman who felt that she
had grievance.
while mine is as quiet and consid.
crate as a man can be, continued the
other, "yours orders this done and
that done, and wants to know why in
the world you have not attended to
some trivial matter"
"He just lords it over me and tries
to run the whole house."
"While mine does practically what
l say when he is at home"
~ wonder why it is?"
I'm coming to that. Your hus-
band has to jump around at some
ones bidding at the Office"
I 20, yes. He has man over him
who holds him to the strictest kind OF
accountability for everything"
"Your husband has no authority at
all?"
"None at all. 80
That's the trouble. A man must

the Office. He has 80 much trouble
with the clerks there that he's mighty
willing to let me run things at home.
You'd better get your husband in q
position wherehe can boss some men

He Could Not Afford TO do 1t.
The doctor shook his head and
looked solemn. Doctors have way

impress anything on a patients mind.
This doctor had heard his patients

sticking a silver spoon with a looking
glass on it down his throat, and done
various other things that made him
nervous and troubled.
"It's a serious matter" he said.
"Ought to 60 home and 20 to

teet; in fact, that will be rather bene-
fetal. You're drinking man, II I'm
not mistaken"
"Why, yes. You wouldn't have me
"Not at all, not at ALL" interrupted
the doctor. ''The shock to a mans
system when he chops of suddenly is
too great. don't believe in it,"
"I'm not much at grading down."
said the patient.
"Not necessary" said the doctor.
81 don't see that liquor will do you
any serious harm if taken at the
proper time. Now, with your meals"
The patient shook his head.
"You might drink something" con-
tinued the doctor. "When the
stomach is properly prepared
"Stop right there" interrupted the
patient, getting up to leave. "That
may do for millionaires, but can't
afford to eat often enough. Good
day."
His Opinion In Dispute.
They were discussing the virtues

"Well, Shillaber speaks highly of
him." CN
"Who says sol"
"Why heard him myself"
"What did he sayY"
"Oh, it was just passing remark.
His name was mentioned, and Shilla-
Der said he hadn't crooked hair in
his head"
"Shillaber said that?"
-"Yes."

From Regular" Point OF View.
The regulars" and the militia were
in camp side by side, There had been
rumors OF serious trouble with tho
miners, and one or two small out
breaks had served to give them color,
