attack and vindication.

An Object Lesson In Economy.

It is recorded Of the founder Of Guys
hospital that he always dined alone,
and that soiled proof sheet or an old
newspaper was his constant substitute
for tablecloth. One winter evening
he was sitting in his room meditating
over handful of half lighted embers
confined within a narrow Caick stove,
and without the luxury Of a candle.
A person who came to inquire for
him was introduced, and after the first
greetings were over the visitor was re-
quested to take seat. Thereupon Mr..
Guy lighted farthing dip which lay
on the table beside him and inquired the
object of the gentleman S visit. 81 have
been told,' said the latter, ''that you,
sir, are better versed in the prudent and
necessary art of saving than any man
now living. I therefore wait upon you
for lesson in frugality, an art in
which I used to think excelled, but l
am told by all those who know you that
you are greatly my superior. -
''And is that all you came about?"
asked Mr. Guy. fWhy, then, we can
talk the matter over in the dark. -
So saying, he, with great delibera-
ton, extinguished his newly lighted
farthing candle. Struck with this in
stance of economy, the visitor acknowl
edged himself vanquished and took his
leave.-London Tit-Bits.

She seemed in a hurry, for she took long
strides like a man. Her body swayed
in tune to her step, either from the
weight of the gun or habit. She passed
several persons with the usual saluta-

to the left nor to the right. Finally she
reached lane where the hazel bushes
sl1irted the road She walked more
carefully then. She peered into field
through an opening, but did not seem
satisfied, for she continued her walking.
She stopped again shortly and looked
through the bushes. In the field, about
20 PAGES distant, was a man patiently
hoeing his corn. She poked the rifle
through the bushes just as the solitary
laborer Strengthened up, took off his hat
and wiped the perspiration from his
face with his shirt sleeve. She glanced
along the barrel of the gun. There was
sharp report, and the man fell over in
furrow. The blood flowed from
hole in his temple.
Then Mandy replaced the gun on her
shoulder She walked off down the road
without a word. When she arrived at
her home, she put the rifle i'll its resting
place and went about her duties.

MISTAKES ON THE WIRE.
Ludicrous Errors Made by Telegraph OPP
orators In Transmitting Dispatches.

The funny mistakes Of telegraphers
are as numerous as those charged up to
proofreaders. A gentleman who has been
an extensive traveller, and consequently
not supposed to overlook any details,
saw his wife off on a train for the slope
the other day. 1t was supposed that ev-
erything had been arranged The good
by and its accompaniment had been
passed, and the gentleman returned to
his home. That night his wife suddenly
remembered that she had left valuable
adjunct to her happiness and wrote a
message to her husband which he re-
ceived the following morning at his Of
fee. It read:
"Forgot Think conductor has tele.
graphed for it.
He read it again, and it read as at
first. Forgot WHAT he murmured.
And he read it again and kept reading
it until the words ran together and his
temples throbbed. He sent message to
his house asking the servants if Mrs.
- had left anything. They made no
discoveries, of course. Then he sent
message to the operator at the Office
from which his wife's message was sent
asking him to repeat it. He waited for
an answer. He lost his luncheon and his
dinner waiting. He remained at his Of
flee until late at night and as he was
about to leave in despair he received an
answer to his. It read: "Forgot trunk
Conductor has telegraphed for it. -
Sure enough, the word "trunk'' had
been made to read "thipk." But wasn't
it strange that a man who had Travelled
all over the world should come to his
own home to forget to check his wife's
trunk? He laughed to himself after it
was all over. But it had cost him lots
Of worry.
Equally funny is this one:
A lady in this city had received let
ter from her old home in Connecticut
which caused her good deal of trouble.
Her answer to it was by wire. When
it was delivered in the Connecticut
home, it read:
CLOVIS the weather?'
What an exasperating query at such
time! The letter referred to the lady's
mothers health. The dispatch should
have read, CLOVIS mother?'
A little different is this one: A gen.
tleman Of this city sent his wife mes
sage from Washington March 4, 1898,
prepaid, and it has not been delivered
up to the present writing. The CORE
spondence between the Chicago Office
and the Washington and New York
offices about the transaction has accu-
mulated until the batch looks like the

A DYING Dolphin.

'It is popular impression among
most people,, said Orrin L. jackson of
New Orleans, ''that while a dolphin is
in its death struggles it changes color
to almost every hue Of the rainbow.
While making a trip by water from
New York to my home the mate Of the
vessel caught q dolphin early one morn
ing, and the passengers were summoned
on deck to see it change color as it lay
gasping i'll the agonies Of death. The
colors were certainly very beautiful, but
not nearly as vivid as had been expect
ed. These fish are not especial favorites
from a gastronomic point of view, being
rather dry and tasteless. The one caught
by the mate was fried for breakfast, the
cook taking the precaution to put a sill
yer half dollar in the pan while cooking
it to make sure that the fish had not
been feeding on something poisonous,
which is said to be sometimes the case.
If the silver becomes furnished, it would
not be safe to eat the fish. ''-St. Louis

TATTOO TIE WEDDING RING.


A British Social Reformer Suggests Brand
ing Both Bride and Groom.
DEAR SIR wish in all earnestness to
make known suggestion that would
save many broken heart among the
sensitive and many a breach of promise
case among the mercantile, and would
considerably tighten the labors of the
police courts and law courts. My sug-
gestion is that every married man and
every married woman should have a cir
Gle tattooed around the third finger of
the left hand in place of or as well as
the wedding ring. This would be sign
that could never be taken off or effaced
and would therefore leave lesser mar
gin for the treacheries and tricks of biga-
mists and other great and small offenses
against law, society and individuals.
To make this proposition practical and
distinctive, of course certain rules would
have to be made. For instance, any I'M
married man or woman tattooing their
third finger to be heavily fined. Every
widow and widower to add distin=
gushing mark to their ring. Every
married man or woman disunited by
law to have bar of erasure across their
wedding ring, and those who marry two
or three times to add the extra circles
accordingly.
The operation of tattooing could with
all reverence be performed by an ex-
pert in the vestry after the church .serv-
ice, or at the registrars Office for those
who only go through the civil ceremony.
This tattooing may seem a return to
barbarism, but our much Wanted civ
ilization has introduced such numerous
aids to deceit that a safeguard and a
warning, such as a tattooed wedding
ring. would become practical prevent
i've of much sham, folly and wrong.
Only those who have sympathy for I'M
lawful liberty will demur against the
idea being realized. I shall be pleased
to hear from all who approve of my
scheme and are willing to assist in form
ing society to influence others in bring
ing about custom that would help to
insure peace, respect and happiness to
many homes and hearts. Yours faith
fully, B. Z. KNoLLYs.

A new notion somewhat in practice is
to address and stamp envelopes on the
back. With the address written across
the folds it can readily be seen that any
tampering with the contents Of the en-
velope could be detected. Now, if like
the electric burglar mat, which on be-
ing stepped upon not only sets all tbs
bells in the house a-ringing, but also ex-
poses the negative and takes fashlight
