Called upward by the voice OF natures God,
For flowers shall blow.
The grass that falls beneath the movers hand,
And lies III lifeless heaps along the way,

1t was the Sparks family's first night
an the new fat and NIr. Sparks felt as
every man feels who has been moving
all day.
The drayman had dropped a trunk
on the family clock and made it use
less for all time.
We must get another clock, my
dear" said Mrs. Sparks. and we may
as well get a handsome one for the
oak mantel in the front room, and
a good tlmekeeper so You wont be
late at the Office any more"
Mr.. Sparks had just paid thirty dol
lars to one landlord to let him out and
thirty dollars to another to let him in.

said he, ''and / can't waste my money
on fancy ones. The works are all the
same, and / don't propose to pay for
gingerbread ornamentation."

on his trousers and tucked in his night

he went barefooted down two flights
of uncarpeted stairs. while the bell
kept up its tattoo behind him. He was
in an agony lest it awake the baby.

morning, for the Sparks baby was of
nervous temperament. The bell
stopped its clamor just as Mr.. Sparks
reached the front door and threw it
open. The wind swept in and chilled
his knees, but there was no one there.

''Who in the name of decencv," he
demanded of Mrs. Sparks, would ring

Mr. Klein is an expert in liquors from

Now, you'll admit, Mr.. Jones, that he

He stood at Madison and Dearborn
streets with a cane and a vacuous express
sion From his white hat to his brown
shoes he was dude of the worst species,
and the two men standing just behind
him and waiting for Il car were laugh
ing at him.

rscornfully. at thinks it is the sweet
est thing in sight. and that all the
women are in love with it. To the
credit of the sex, l haven't seen one

The other man turned and looked.
Just as he did SO well-dressed woman
walked over the crossing toward where
the dude stood. She did not look al
him, but the watchers noticed that as
she passed him she slipped a small,
folded piece of paper into his hand.
You were little previous about the

man. Nice looking woman, too. l

see in that thing. Watch him open the
mote"
The dude looked cautiously around
to see if any one were looking. He
seemed pleased at his success. The
two men waiting for car were osten-
tatiously looking the other way and
he opened the note.
Only for a minute did he scan it.
Then, with an expression of wild dis
gust and a naughty word, he crumpled
the paper up, threw it down, and
walked hastily away.
"Whew!' whistled one of the men,
'somethings gone wrong with the
works and the youth is troubled there
at. Wonder what she said to him?'
The other man stirred the crumpled
paper inquiringly with his umbrella; Il
don't see why we shouldn't look, he
said shamefacedly. "He threw it
away"
YES" said the other man slowly, as
he dropped his glove. Il don't see why
we shouldn't, either"
He stopped to recover his glove, and
when he picked it up the crumpled
paper came. too.

A WIRE's STARTLING STORY.
Mrs. Joseph Fairbreek Asks for n
Divorce from Her Husband Ia
the King County Court.

You hear of a good many divorces be-
ing granted nowadays to women whose
husbands show an unusual amount OF
brutality, says the Seattle Telegraph, but
it is seldom that one OF the members OF
the fair sex applies for a separation be-
cause her husband is insanely jealous OF
her. This is the charge Helen Fairbrook
makes against her husband, Joseph Fair
brook. Yesterday she filed an applica-
ton for divorce. She says she married
him in October, 1883. Nearly three years
ago, Mrs. Fairbrook alleges, he became
insanely jealous OF her. He went so far,
she says, as to refuse to permit any Of
her relatives to visit them. He treated
her cruelty, and finally, in September,
1892, she separated from him. Still be
continued to annoy her. Last Sunday,
she says, he called at her home in Brook
Ign and informed her that the trouble ex-
listing between them could only be ended
in death. She feared that he would carry
out his threat then and there, but he
didn't. Before leaving the house he
threatened to return last evening and
murder her. He has taken a dislike to
the family physician, and recently, it is
claimed, violently assaulted him without
any provocation whatsoever. The plain
tiff asks for divorce and a division of
the property now in the possession Of
her husband, and valued at about $780,
900. She further wants the custody of
her children, and prays the court to issue
an order restraining her husband from
visiting her house. as she fears he will
do her bodily harm.

and Mr.. Jefferson now brought the pa

have the deed properly drawn. Every
thing was all right. Six thousand dollars
in cash was paid and a conveyance in fee
simple made to Mr.. Mckenzie. A few
