The gentlemen composing the club
are proving themselves NEST inn

In the ''wee sma' hours" the gay

There was a newly married Couple
at one of the Washington hotels the
other day, and they were as dead iIF
love with each other and as anxious to
let nobody else find it out as sGlcH
people usually are. He was all atteni
ton, and the waiter noticed when they
came to dinner, which was the first
meal served after they reached the
hostelry, that he ordered everything
she did. She wanted her beef well
done and so did he. She ordered
glass of milk and rye bread, and he
Immediately did likewise. When She
took sip of the fluid he followed suit
With gallant alacrity, and man with
half an eye could see that he WAS
drinking her health every tins.
When they were through and ha J
left the room the waiter r>-
marked to the star boardcr
under his care that "dey wuzn' NJ
useter glib scch foxes two SETS er

The star boarder happened to be at
breakfast syfchronously with the de-
voted twain next morning. They
ordered everything alike until 1t came
| to eggs.
''How does yer want yer aiEs?''
queried the waiter.
s'Soft boiled" replied the sylph-
like bride.
The groom struggled manfully with

! grew red to the roots of his hair.
! "Gimme mine fried on both sides,
he said with great effort.
! A big pair of blue eyes looked at
him reproachfully across the table,
while he discovered something inter
esting in the butter dish. Then she
sighed. 1t was their first difference,
! and she lot him know that sire re-

Dean Hartman the sweet little eight
year-old daughter and only child of Nr.
and Mrs. George T. Hartman, division
superintendent Of the Santa Fe, died at
$40 yesterday morning after a severe and
trying struggle with that terrible disease
diptberia The funeral will take place at
/ o'clock today from the home at 1910
North Topeka avenue The circumstances
of the case are such that 20 danger need
be unprecedented from attending the fun
eral However, Mr.. aud Mrs Hartman
hope that their friends may at least come
with their carriages even II they do not
feel like entering the house
Thus the light of another happy home
goes out, and empty hands are reaching
into darkness for a loved form. into Il
darkness that faith begotten of love alone
can penetrate. Oh the sorrow the loss of
such jewel encompasses. Deep, wild
aud speeches. is the grief that rends and
Expresses the parent heart that cannot un-
derstand-can only moan. The words OF
prayer fall from the lips like dead ashes
and fearless eyes burn in dry anguish.
The gentle form, the bright eyes, the win
some face lighted with love and affection,
lie pale aud motionless aud earth contains
for our friends neither hope or happines s
in this the darkest hour of their life.
How sadly their hearts will miss that
precious darling who has flown to a
brighter home than any that this poor
earth can offer, only those who have thus
been sadly berervsd can feel or tell.
The blessings of her sweet life
Fell on them like the dew;
And good thoughts where her footsteps prest
Like fairy blossoms grew.
