Deceived by His Wife.

One Of the wealthy residents of Mil
waukee avenue is a retired business
man with large property interests and
bank account who has never recovered
from the frugal habits of his younger
days. If he had his way. he would wear
hand me down clothes and wear
them until they fell apart at the seams.
His wife has different notions. She
would have him dress up. Last spring
she had tailor make him handsome
overcoat II cost $50, but she told him
it cost only 52j. If he had known the
truth, he wouldn't have been happy
moment when he was wearing the gar
ment, because he would have been cal
oulating how many feet of lumber he
might have purchased with that wasted
money. As it was, he protested against
the extravaganza of paying s25 for an
oyercoat when he might have got one
for 81. 30.
One day friend came to call on the
close fistcd ceutleInan aa1 happened to
see this coat hanging on the nail He
admired it greatly and tried it on.
How much did you pay for this!'
he asked.
THAT cost me go.
'I'll give you $50 for it "
''Take it along.
And his friend, who knew something
about clothing, didn't back out. Then
the frugal man went TO his wife.
sI've sold that coat and made 80,
said be gleefully.
'Indeed. That coat cost me $50.
Then he was mad. He has announced
that hereafter he will buy his own cloth

SWIMMING Cavalry.

Some very interesting exercises in
swimming cavalry took place lately on
the Kabul river at Peshawur Tho Thir-
teenth d. c. o. Bengal lancers have
been practicing their horses in large
tank in their lines and on the river for
some time. One squadron took cover
along the river bank and kept up a
steady fire to protect the passage OF the
other squadron, who placed all their
arms, accouterments and clothes in
large country boats and conducted their
horses into the water. Some horses
seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves
in the water; others became unmanage-
able from fear. However, the opposite
bank was reached and warpaint re-
sumed, and the squadron was with most
creditable rapidity taking measures to
protect their comrades, who then crs=sru

One night when he was riding on an
asphalt street he met a friend. "Ho,
said the friend, "where'd you get the
bike?''
Bought it." replied the wheelman
tartly. "Did you think l stole it?''
"No, don Il know that did. What'll
you take for it?'
The wheelman stopped and said, DO
you want to buy a wheel?'

"Well, what will you give for this
ooe?''
Forty dollars. "
The wheelman got ON his wheel and
rode away without saying word A
day or two later the friend came around
and made some more inquiries about
the wheel The wheelman told him con-
ndentially that he was hard up and was
having difficulty ir keeping up his pay

The friend came around every day for

ready to take s2J, reminding him that
he would lose the wheel altogether if he
wasn't prompt with the payments. Yes.
