SO many officials and employees of the Big

statement will be read with interest: The
gross earnings of the c.. c.. c. IL ST. Louis

crease of 3, s27, and the surplus SS4. 285. an
increase of S65. 1877. For the eleven months

of s409, 6f7; charges 81. Lot. 34S. adecre8se Of
SO, Ia, and surplus S940. 477. a decrease of
e339.5O5 The dividends for the year call
for 81, $40, 600. and the surplus for the eleven
months is only SJ40.477. Even adding the
surplus for June there would not be q total
equal to dividend requirements. But the
income from other sources averages about
$50, 600, 90 that there is little doubt that
the results for the year will permit the
payment of the usual 3 per cent. on the

the house, slamming the door with
great vehemence behind him.
Mrs. Delameter threw herself face
downward on the lounge and cried and
cried. The terrible fear that she had
offended him beyond forgiveness and
that he would never return to her as
sailed her at intervals all through the
day.
When Mr.. Delameter did actually
come home at the usual hour she hard
ly dared raise her eyes to his face But
he was very quiet, did not slam things
and hardly looked up from his food all

When Mrs. Delameter had cleared up
the dishes, she slipped up behind her
husband as he sat in the bay-window,
with his elbows on his knees. his face
between his hands, and his eyes on the
carpet, and dropped the bone of con-
tention, the pocketbook, into his lap,
and fed.
He caught her dress before she had
fed very far, and drew her back

seriousness, 'do you believe there is

"Oh, come now! Doyou pretend to
say you didn't enjoy it?'
"Of course [ didn'tr' was the indig-

did not know how much you earned or
how much your expenses were"
Mr.. Delameter glanced at the neat
columns, and turned over the leaves to
look at the footing-up for the whole
year. He seemed to be surprised at
the total, and made rapid mental cal
culation. Then he gave vent to long,
low whistle.

that whenever he was paid off the
housekeeping expenses should be de-
