Such Is Fate.

Long she stood at the window and unused The rays of the setting sun entangled themselves in her Titan hair or surrounded her glorious height of five feet eight inches with an aureole halo. Proud, queenly, limbed like a goddess, she was indeed magnificent specimen of femininity, Strange, 2 she muttered. Then soft, half-pity- lng half-happy smile fitted across her fac like gleam of April sunshine. "S;raLHe, she said again, to think that l. who, only six short months ago was ,iie SRuarterback of the Emanci- pated Mnidens' football eleven, should have lost my heart to man whose col- lar is size and half smaller than mine. But such is fate And l love him." Cnrclessly picking up forty pound dumb-bcll she tossed it out of the window and across the lot, and then sought her boudoir.

A FUNNY MAN . IDEAL WIFE.
His Cumbersome Logic Not In 1t with
 Her Good Common Sense.

Hls Cumbersome Logic Not In It with
 Her Good Common Sense.
 My ideal wife. writes Bill Nye in the Philadelphia Press, is comrade who wins me from down town, and who agrees with me generally, and if not, it is quite likely to be because I am wrong. She is one who has repeatedly proved that her impressions are better than the expensive opinions of my at torney.
 She sees where danger lies while am groping about, by means of cum, bersome logic, to arrive later at the same conclusion.
 She does not claim to be literary, but comes artificial and writes from the head rather than the heart.
 She is level-headed, rather than strong-minded, She knows when to applaud her husband without making q goose of him, and how to criticise without offending him
 She delights in bene6ting the needy whom she knows, rather than make blanc mango for the people on the Up per NOnBO. Sne does nOt say Kind words by long distance telephone, but anticipates slie wants of the deserving in her owh neigiiborhood.
 She can give pointers to a profes- sional cook, and compels good service because she is familiar with all the de- tails of good hoiscliccping.
 She can transact business whenever an emergency arises, but is glad to turn it over to the husband when he is at hand
 The ideal wife is also the ideal moth CT She has no abnormal affection for wheezy dogs
 She is a good fellow with her hus4 band, and the confdante and conrado of her sons and daughters
 She reveres the honest elements of religion without being beggar or hustler for the church. She does not neglect her home or her children in or der to wipe out church debt, which should not have been incurred.
 She is the kind of woman 10 cn. c2ulacc wcllocly hv her rlcrihus ey

 Dr. Lafferty. of New Orleans, recent ly delivered q lecture on Lees Lack of Luck says the Times-D Democrat. The doctor told how two English snobs, at q restaurant in Paris, by their sneers drove Murat out of service as waiter and through this accident Murat be- came marshal Of France and king of Naples. Samples of lucky accidents were numerous in ancient and modern history and there were also many ex- amples that went to show how many of the ancients believed in good luck or good fortune, Napoleon had lost Waterloo through the mere accident of bringing on an attack of sick headache through eating onion and lamb against the advice of his physician.

 Oliver Cromwell was once on board ship bound for America, but he was taken back by constable, and the re- suit was that he became one of the greatest men England ever knew.

 NOT TROUBLED BY NOISE.
 Literary People Who Could Work in the
 MIdst of Turmoil.
 All that concerns the men and women who give distinction to their day Is Of interest to those who admire, criticise and perhaps envy their achievements. says Chambers Journal. A special land legitimate curiosity is felt in reference to the conditions under which success is won. Glimpscs are occasionally given into the methods of eminent toilcrs, and wonderful variety k re- vcalcd. 1t is Ht least plain that no guidebook to great performances the anxious authof can have his choice of Several-will determine the point where exactly the best results arc To be obtained. One mans help is anoth- CTS hindrance. Many famous writers for instance, have only been able tC perfect their thoughts in silence and sccrusion. Hut there have also bepu those who could work in the midst ui babel and defy distraction. Jane Aus ten. whose unprctentious canvases are full of some of the most life-likc DOT traits in fiction, was never in the habit of seeking solitude to compose. She wrote sitting in the family circle, and under perpetual rislc of interruption. It was the same with a successful lady novelist happily still living.
 Mrs Harriet Bcecher Stowe wrote her best-lsnown story on plain pine table, by the aid of an evening lamp, jn tiny wooden house in Maine. About her were gathered children of various ages, coming their lessons or at play, and never guessing what D treasure mine of excitement was com ing into existence for other young peo- pie in Uncle Toms Cabin." A large part of the Roman History of Dr, Ar mold was composed under similar cir cumstances Dean Stanley has sketched the Rugby student, where Arnold sat at his work, with no attempt at seclu- sion, conversation going on around him his children playing in the room-his frequent guests, whether friends or former pupils, coming in or out at will" Thomas Lowell Beddoes, poet of luxuriant fancy and true genius, though much neglected. also found a stimulus to the creative faculty of his muse in working in playful and even noisy company. Such cases recall the story of the learned man of Padua, who assured Montaigne that he actually iIecded to be hcmmcd in by uproar be- fore he could proceed to study
