the close o. yesterday. 1t wae expected
that our markets would be higher IN

prise No. l. Afterwards liverpool lost
the advance and closed shade below

A Willy Husband.

A story is told of well known literary
man and his wife which would seem to in
dictate that not all of the artifice and
scheming should be put down to women.
The couple referred to decided to repaper
certain room in their suburban home
Although apparently simple enough this
undertaking proved to be a difficult one, as
not only was the individual and diametric.
ally different taste of each of the two to De
consulted, but the paper that was already
upon the walls of an adjoining room had
to be taken into consideration as well
Again and again did the paper hanger, who
tells the story, come out with his big roll.
of samples to the suburban house, only to
return with the matter undecided as the
wife was sure to dislike what the husband
liked, and vice versa.
At length the husband had a private in,
terview with Abe paper hanger and suggest
ed that the gordian knot be cut in this wise:
You bring out the very first roll that
you showed us, which suited me-" advised
this man whose ingenuity Of plot had long

attention was attracted to an elderly
couple from the rural regions who sat di-

the boots they wore on their feet to the

lady sat up very prim and stiff, with her
hands crossed and her eyes steady ahead.
but the man twisted in his seat and
squinted over his shoulder to look out of
the window at the street below He held
his breath and gripped the edge Of the seat
with both hands as the train wound
around the great $ at One Hundred and
Tenth street, and heard him gasp:
"Great jehujer Mandy Ann, will you
locker this If we should tumble OFF,
She gave n savage yank at his coattail
and literally Missed: Turn around, We

so Iguess the keers Is all right II You

So he Strengthened about and sat MS
quiet as he could until One Hundred and
Sixteenth street station was reached As
the guard called in at the door, the woman
popped up, Whispering hoarsely TO her
husband:
"This airs the place Cousin Jed told us
TO git of. Stir yer stumps."

Straight to the elevator in use ut this
station they went. The woman entered the
car and stood up straight and digniiied
like the others she saw about her, al
though ] was sure she could not imagine
what they all crowded into that little place
for, hut the man set down his carpet bag
and then stared ali around him In amaze
ment.
"Wull I'd like ter know''-
He didn't explain what he would like TO
know, for his wife gave him poke in the
ribs that cut him short Some of the pus
sengers smiled, and boy In the corner
snickered. Then the elevator man yanked
the sliding door TO and gave a pull Mt the
rope, sending the car downward with u
swish.
A shrek of terror broke from the old
lady's lips, and she clutched frantically at
her husbands neck, evidently on the point
of fainting

And then, almost before she could catch

When he was told there was no charge,
he gave long whistle indicative of his
surprise, picked up the carpet bag and
walked out, his wife following. When
they were ON the street, he turned on her
triumphantly, sneering:

Evidently he had no desire to hear from
it later, for he kept still, and they wander

could direct them to Cousin Jed's.
