He Was her Husband.

Chicago Herald.
The cross looking woman with her
arms full of bundles had been shop
ping all the afternoon and she was
tired out Oniy one man was seated
in the car. He had q weak, nervous
appearance The cross looking woman
hung to strap over his head. She

mark.
s'It beats ALL" she said to the little
blonde who was hanging to the next
strap. "what hogs some people are.
Don't it?p
The blonde woman m sde no reply.
s'It seems to me that men are losing
their manners. They have no regard
for wom' at all. Nothing but brutes
10 let a tired woman stand up while
they sprawl their big. lazy bodies all
over the seas. Isn't that so?'
The blonde woman made no reply.
The man beneath shuffied uneasily.
"If there was gentleman in this
csr ladies would not have to stand
here while selfish brute took the
only seat [ wish my husband wa g
here. You bet he wouldn't let no il =
su lifting teller treat Inc in that way"
The blonde woman made no reply.
The man beneath looked up appeal
ingiy.
"Did fever notice the kind of a man
that sits when ladies are standing?
Weak eyed, red-nosed, skinny beast
without an ounce of manhood in him.
A nasty. cheap"
The blonde woman let go of the
strap to put her fiAger under the other
wOman's nose.
"Now you look here" she sa id
"you cross, scolding mink, l don't
propose 70 stand here all aftern Don
and hear you abuse my husband. My
bus bands as good man as ever Iiv-
ed and polite, and ne knows more
about etiset than your whole family,
and he'd get up to give his seat to me
If he didn't have the roomatiz so bad

and you've iist said as much as you
can say, and you'd hstter be home
cooking your husbands meals than
trapsing around town at the bargain
counters and
"But--"
Don't but me, lady. I'll have
none of your butts and ifs and ands;
don't you think because you have a
cheap seal-plush cloak that you can
come on the North Side and abuse
your betters. I'm rs much of lady
as you are, every inch OF me, and you
can bring your husband here, and
bring him here and bring him here,
and let him touch hair of my mans
head aud L have him sent to the
penitentiary, I will. I'll scratch his
eyes out, the cheap, insignificant,
puserlanimous; that's what he is, and
you're 10 better.
The cross woman moved forward
something about bad
mann rs, and the little blonde took q
stand beside the only
man who was seated in the car.

Apropos of the great discussion
which is now going on as to whether
"Wizard" Edison can, by any of the
known laws OF scIence, carry out his
recent promise to do away with troll.
leys ana wires in large cities, taking
the current direct from the rails, one
of the famous electricians intimate
friends said last evening in an inter
view:
evil he do il? Most decidedly, if
he says so. That may seem pretty
strong, but / have in mind at this mo
ment that Thomas A. Edison is man
that has never failed to keep his word.
When, in 1870. Edison said that he
would make the incandescent lamp a
rival of gas, he was laughed at by all
the scientists of the time. Look aroun d
you today and see if he has kept his
word.
"When he jokingIy remarked that
he would make an instrument to
reproduce all the actions of q
speaker or singer, even in the
light of all his successes il
was almost unanimously de-
clared beyond serious consideration
Still newspapers are today full of re-
ports of his new "Kinetograph." Can
you believe for one moment that we
who know him doubt his ability tc
develop the ideal street railway sys
tenn he has recently outlined?
edison Is Jules Verne in science
He lives and breathes in an atmos
phere that is mystery to us. At this
very moment, when you and 1 are
taking it easy, he may be burning the
midnight oil on the ookout for some
undiscovered secret" - Pittsbure

Soap

Why is Pears Soap-the
best in the world, the soap
with no free alkali in it

1t was made for a hospital
soap in the first place, made

wanted a soap that would

That means a soap all

Remarkable Rivers.


The subterrapean rivers of the
world, of which the one in the Nam
moth Cave of Kentucky is usually
reckoned as the most unique, and
generally get down in lists of natural
curiosities as being the greatest won-
der in the line of waterways; but such
lists, however, are not always relia-
BILE. To the mind of "Ye Curious
Man" there are other rivers which
have a sufficient element of the mar
velous to admit them into categories
of the wonderful. Algeria, Spain and
within their borders which are
composeG-not of water, but Of ink.
That in Algeria is water until after
the union of two of it's principal
tributaries, one of which flows
through country strongly impreg-
mated with iron; the other comes
from a peat bog. The chemical ac-
ton of the iron on the gallo acid from
the peat makes . beautiful writing
fluid.
The Webbe Shebeyli. an African
river, is one of the wonders of the
Dark Continent. Although it is a
large, rapid flowing river almost as
rapid as our own Mississippi, and
flows for hundreds of miles through q
fertile country, it never reaches the
sea. About thirty miles before its
waters get to the point where they
should miDgle with those of the In
dian Ocean the whole stream sinks
out of sight into the sands of q
desert.
