mined that the time for action had

This will never do, George" she
said, with steely glitter in her eye thai

Perhaps I wouldn't mind it so much
in years to come, but our honeymoon
is barely over, and here you stay out
nearly all night. Unless you promise
to stop, I'll go back to my father"
Forgive me, my DEAR" he replied,
bracing himself for the supreme effor,
of lis life. for he knew the crisis had
come, and upon the result depended
whether marriage was to be failure OF
a blooming success. Il know my con-
duct must seem cruel to you, but that
is only because you know so little OF
men and their ways. All my life I
have been accustomed to staying out all
night. l can't stop suddenly, for the
doctor has told me [ have heart disease,
and that any sudden shock was likely
to kill me. That's why, my dear,
must taper off gradually"
Forgive me, George" she sohbed,
throwing herself on his breast. Il have
been very selfish. I know you try to dc
what is the best for you. Never again

How He Managed.

Ayoung man started out to rent flat.
but at every place advertised he was told
that he could not have the fiat, as chill.
dren were considered nuisance.
Tired out he approached the very
last house on the list.
How many in the family?" inquired
the landlord.
"Two-just two," was the ready
answer.
The landlord was much pleased and
at once drew up lease, and the next
day the family moved in, and were
snugly settled when the landlord came
tearing up the stairs.
"What-what is this, sir? You have
cheated and deceived me. You told me
there were only two in the family"
Yes, and I told you the truth-a
family of two children.
But you didn't say children"
"And you didn't ask me. What con.
stitutes family, I should like to know
if it isn't the children? You should be
more explicit in your questions, my
friend.
The landlord raved and fumed, but
it was too late, and it made him more
angry to know that he had with his
own hands set the trap he fell into.

GIRLS PLAY POKER.
Favorite Pastime of Certain Set In q
Noted College.

Favorite Pastime OF Certain Set In a
Noted College.
"Do girls ever play poker at college?
Well, I guess! You men needn't think
you monopolize all the fun in this
world
The speaker, says a writer in the
Boston Globe, was q charming, saucy
little student of-well, a college whose
name begins with one of the last letters
of the alphabet. She sat on hotel
piazza last summer and held forth to a
group of the other sex, who all owned
to an everlasting curiosity as to the
ways and habits of the college girl
when on her own stamping grounds.
You, see, learned to play the game
very young, long before I went to col.
lege. My mother is awfully jolly, you
know, and she believes in our having
all our fun at home, where she can
keep an eye on us. We didn't play
poker in those days for money, because
we had none. We patronized mammals
button box instead. My, how the but
tons used to fly when things got lively
and disputing ran high!
MY brother and I used blueberries
for chips one evening, after gathering
them all day in the country, as the but
tons were not available. My brother
had all the luck, and ate the chips as
fast as he won. But fate evened up me
with him. He had the cholera morbus
in the night.
Finally we became so attached to
the game that we went to a Sunday
school picnic and withdrew to shady
retreat with our boon companions, and
played poker all day. In lieu of coin
of the realm or other convenient substi-
tute, we employed a bank account or
pencilled memorandum.
when the sun set that night was
Vanderbilt, the proud possessor of
$40, 600, 600 on paper. But dear
mamma somehow didn't seem to fancy
this liberal union of profane and sacred
matters, such as poker and Sunday
school picuics, so she sat down on the
| former.
Il renewed my acquaintance with the
jack pot when I went to college, though.
Did we ever play for money at col
lege? Oh, yes; but we considered it q
point of honor to dump all our win
nings in one common heap when we
got through playing, and to spend the
whole on famous oyster supper for
the entire crowd at the village restau-
rant. 1t was great sport, especially for
those who didn't win anything. A
good, juicy oyster proved wonderfully
consoling at such a time.

Bald Heads.

1t is maintained by physician who
has studied the subject, that plenty of
hair on the head means plenty of brains;
that the hair is sure index of ones
mental staying power. Il always look
on a bald headed man. he says. as de-
ficient, not only in hair, but in actual
brain power You know each hair is
connected with the brain by tiny
nerve, and the loss of all these nerves
means loss of powers. Indeed, though
the effects may not be at first so appar-
ent, man may as we'll lose his hand or
his foot as his hair. If you doubt this,
the next time you hear of man who
has all his life been clear-healed and
practical suddenly doing some foolish
and inexplicable thing, or breaking
down in crisis which demands all his
energies-just look at his head. In nine
times out of ten he is bald. Half the
men who drop dead suddenly are bald.
In almost eve, Y case. however, there is
a hope of cure for badness if the head
be regularly submitted to gentle
scratching" and occasionally to a thor.
ough dosing of a suitable, stimulating
soap.
