Too Much for His Nerves.

She was a typewriter, says the New
York World. OF course she was pretty
\ typewriter that isn't pretty is as rare
as hen that isn't a chicken or a circle
that ISN'T round, Nobody ever saw one
al least who lived to write about t.
He was the senior member of the firm
but susceptible for all that. He was smit-
ten. He wanted to ask her a few tender
questions He dared not commit them to
paper oh. no! He dared not speak aloud
for fear some of the weasel-eared clerks
or junior partners would catch on and
squeal.
For three days he thought then hit
upon plan. He would inveigle her into
the sound-prOof telephone closet.
He did so. Little dear" he pleaded
there, VIII YOU go to the opera tonight
with me and for a little supper afterward?
Don't refuse me. l viii promise you a
glorious time.
The sweet girl blushed. Oh, it was in
deed a temptation. She tried to speak
What her answer was no one shall ever
know; for just at that instant there was a
buzz at the telephone. With pall.d face
and trembling hand the senior member
drew the phone to his ear and heard q
familiar voice from afar: Yes, dear
thank YOU, Come home early. I will be
ready on tmc!'
The doctor called it heart failure.
But the WIFE and the little blonde tyne
writer knew more than these wise men

The Armenian outrages Denied.

Il was expected that the government
~ Turkey would deny the story Of the
massacre Of Christians in the sassoun
district The denial. however. does not
change the belief Of the civilized world
that the story is true. The Turkish gov
eminent says that few Armenian bandits
disturbed the peace in the sassoun section
and that the Turkish troops quickly put a
stop 10 their disorderly conduct. The gov
eminent further announces that IL has
sent a commission 10 the scene Of the dis
turbanee to make a thorough investigation
Of the alleged trouble.
No confidence Is felt IA the integrity Of
this commission, nor would there be in
any other commission appointed by the
Turkish government. II is not the inten-
ton Of the government to let the truth be
known IL in can be- suppressed. VIII this
country and England and other Christian
countries permit the truth 10 be suppress
ed? If the Christian nations do their duty
they will insist upon knowing the truth.
and il they find that outrages We're com
mtted as stated they will exact such guar
antees from the Sultan Of Turkey in re-
spect 10 his Christian subjects that the
world will never again be Mortified by
stories of massacre Of Christians in the
Turkish domains.
England, although largely responsible for
the religious intolerance from which
Christians in Turkey suffer. seems to be
very slow In noticing the outrages which
have been inflicted upon the Christian
Armenians. English public opinion is
prodding the government. however, and
steps may be taken by the English gov
eminent 10 ind out the truth.
In speaking of the matter the other day
Mr.. Gladstone said: IT the facts are well
established It should be written in letters
Of iron upon the records Of the world that
a government which could be guilty of
countenancing and covering up such
atrocities is disgrace to Mahomet the
Prophet. a disgrace to civilization at
large and a disgrace to mankind" And
yet if England were to announce that she
would not interfere whatever might hap
pen. 1t is more than probable that the
millions Of people whose lives are made
miserable by Turkish rule would rise in
their might. and, with the help they would
receive would free themselves from the
Turkish yoke.

You are both wrong" said the third
girl. The hardest thing on earth is not to

that there isn't on the face of the earth a

The big, fat, notwithstanding governor
of Texas was, given a pretty rough turn
by the blizzard the other day. The gov
ernor, who is fond of hunting and fish
ing, went up Trinity river with a party of
friends in a steam launch. The weather
was bright and balmy when they left Gal
weston. and the governor was in good
spirits. Thirty-sjx hours after leaving
the governor was back in Galveston look
ing as though he had been wrestling with
a Texas cyclone and the cyclone had got
the best of it. And, indeed. that was
about the size of it. Some miles up the
river. night had come on, and with it a
bowling "norther" The launch stranded
and capsized on reef, and the executive
party We're tumbled into the water, along
with their bedding and provisions. \ few
cans of beef and blanket or two were
saved The wet blankets were wrapped
about the shoulders of the shipwrecked
executive and his friends, and they made
the best they could Of the situation until
daylight. The governor says. however,
that there was no best" to the situation.
The wind howled and the temperature
dropped right down TO the freezing point,
while the party stood all night almost knee
deep in water. When the governor ar
rived at Galveston there We're iclcles on his
coat and his mustache was frosted.
