Thompson prides himself on being
weatherwise. He tells his wife every
morning that she may expect weather
on that day. Thompson is diplo.
matte however, even when making
weather predictions, and sometimes
hedges about his representations
with certain provisions which will
enable him to maintain his self-re-
spect, even If his predictions should
vary considerably from the truth.
The other morning Mrs. Thompson
said, -
william, tell me about the
weather; Iwish to know which gown
l ought to wear in town this morn
ing"
Thompson gazed at the heavens
and the weather-vane
"Well, my dear" said he ''it may
storm and it may not to-day but If
l were in your place, 1 would"
Now, William, / want positive
information Will it be safe to wear
my blue broadcloth or must l put on
my old black gown"
After making another careful horo-
scope of the heavens, Thompson
said, -
my dear, wear your black gown.
You will then be safe"
Thompson started for the city.
Getting out in the open air he dis.
covered evidences Of clearing
weather.
What if it should clear away" he
unused. "Mirandy will Jeer at me
when l return. She will have lost
an opportunity to make Smiths wife
green with envy, for they are to meet
on the rialto at noon. However, l
must face the music"
Two hours later when the storm
burst in fury upon the city, Thomp-
son rubbed his hands in glee
"Won't MirandY thank me when l
get homeI Again my reputation as
a weather prophet has been bolstered
up by the elements"
Smiths wife wore her new brown
broadcloth suit She didn't have
her waterproof with her, and her
little umbrella was insufficient to
protect her, and she was a ''sight to
behold" when she reached home, and
Smith was made wretched because
he la ked Thompson's meteorologic
insight.

make the assertion that it is some

have heard Of many queer places
selected by young couples for their
love-mal<ing, and, in fact, have per-
sonal knowledge Of several who found
their chief delight in spooning in
some cemetery; but never, until a few
laws ago. have heard of a gallows
being chosen for such recreation. A
young friend of mine has a sweetheart,
handsome young clerk in ST. Louis
candy store.
The young folks are but seldom
alone together for more than a few
minutes, and when they do get a chance
TO enjoy each others company with
out outside interference they make
the most of their opportunity. One
evening the young lady left her work
much easier than usual. She sent
word to my friend, who at once met
her, and proposed that she go with
| him TO the Four Courts, where he had
a small business matter TO attend to,
after which they would enjoy them
selves. She agreed. As the two
were leaving the Four Courts
the girl asked her companion to
show her through the building.
This was done. lie took her TO
the morgue; then he took her through
a side door into The yard in which
stands the gallows. She evinced great
interest in this structure, and finally
the two mounted the steps and stood
looking down the trap through which
several souls have shot to eternity.
The girl shuddered. The young man
noticed this and passed his arm about
her waist. Then he proposed that
they sit down awhile. They sat. For
an hour those two sat, with feet dang
ling through the trap and arms about
each others waists, and indulged in
the interchange of sweet words and
sweeter caresses with which lovers
are wont TO pass their time.

rnE FINANuIAL SYSTEM.

Since the tariff is settled the next
great battle will be upon the question
of currency. The bonds upon which
national bank notes rest will mature
in a dozen years and some plans must
be devised to secure a medium Of
exchange TO replace these bank notes.
Many declare tha. the bonds will
not be paid, but the presumption is
that the government will meet its liza
bilities and certainly no wise legislator
will neglect this question upon the
theory that a default will occur.
The free coinage OF silver will thus
come TO the front In spite of its oppo-
nents In the course of twelve years
the mints can coin more silver dollars
than the outstanding bank notes now
represent. II paper money must be
used as a convenience. silver eersifi-
Gates can be issued in lieu OF such sur
