A Peculiar Divorce.

The lawyer was sitting at his desk,
absorbed in the preparation of brief.
So bent was he on his work that he did
not hear the door as it was pushed
gently open nor see the curly head that
was thrust into his office. A little sob
attracted his notice, and turning he saw
a face that was streaked with recent
tears, and told plainly that the little
ones feelings had been hurt. well,
my little one, did you want to see me ?"
Are you lawyer?" "Yes. What is
it you want?" Il want" and there was

Englishmen as Husbands.

I wish few American women could
have English husbands for about one
month. They would then realize what
it means to take all the money that
Charles has got, while Charlie laughs
at your cuteness and then laughs still
more when at midday you call him up
on the telephone, ask him if he loves
you, tell him you have seen a bonnet
that will make him think you are Is
years old, and repeat that delicious day
when you first met him. and won't he
please send you check for it?
The English husband is not built this
way. His creed is that woman should
have as little money as possible, as few
desires, and then look as well as women
who have more money and crafty all
their wishes. The Englishman as a
man is most interesting AS a husband
he is failure. York Graphic.

Not Asleep That Time.

that the poor man had sightless ewes:

A RECONCILIATION.
BY II. Sabel Campbell.

She was quite sure that the fault was
not hers. He was perfectly certain that
he was not to blame Yet the fact re-
manned that they had quarreled and
parted, and that it was terrible, mis-
cradle fact there was no diversity of
opinion between them! They had had
hot words upon a rather cold subject, a
tobogganing party, and as there were
the usual two sides to the question and
they saw their position from opposite
points of view of course they failed to
agree. I'm 50 sorry you can t take me-
Robin, but [ have promised faithfully
to make one of the party, and / could

cause, and"
"Yes, because he was a suitor of mine
should think if anything could make
your position more secure, the fact of
such a man as Oscar Gerard being a
rejected sTlitor would do So"
And she gave her lover a shy smile
which was not without the effect it was
intended to produce
Darling, [ know YOU love mel" he
said, throwing one arm lightly around
her. And so, sweetheart, won't you
give up this excursion to please me?
don't like to think of your being ex-
posed to the dangers of tobogganing in
my absence and in the company of a
man whom [ cannot help regarding as
an enemy"
You are very ungenerous to feel so
towards Oscar Gerard, she said with
touch of Indignation. And as for
danger, why, every one knows that he
is most skilful at guiding a toboggan-
the best conductor any one could possi-
bly, have"
Perhaps Robin did not like the praise
bestowed upon his rival, though that thus
rival had been an unsuccessful one, for
he bit his lips and frowned

bitrarily.

hautily.

Sir John Franklin,

1t was in Warwiekshire that made
the acquaintance of Sir John Franklin,
while / was still quite a child. The
stout, good humored gentleman, whose
image appears before me as l write his
name, is associated in my mind with an
event i'll which he took the keenest In
terest-a total eclipse Of the sun-but the
amusement afforded by a rather absurd
incident connected with 1t / am afraid
engrossed my childish mind more than
all the scientific explanations of the
phenomenon which Sir John Franklin
was so we'll qualified to give
In those primitive days it was held
that the best mode of witnessing the OBJ
scuration of the sun was to watch 1t
through pieces of smoked glass, with
which we were all duly provided when
we sailed forth to an open piece of
ground where nothing impeded tho Wow.
Tho result was that in tho course Of a
few minutes the noses of every one pres
ent were severely acknowledgements
sciously to themselves-and the appear
ance of the whole scientific party was
irresistibly comic.
Sir John Franklin appeared then so
full of life and energy and high spirits
that it was difficult to think Of him aft
erward as the wornout suffering hero Of
that last fatal voyage, which held the
country in suspense as to his fate during
period cruelty long and trying to his
wife and to all who had relatives among
his companions in the icebound vessels.
One Of my cousins was of the mum Der,
and I we'll remember the sensation In
his home when some of tho relics Of the
disastrous expedition, afterward brought
back, were identified as having belonged
to him. -Blackwood' Magazine.

A GREAT FISHERMAN.
He Could Land His Prey From Water
Other Men Fished Blank.

Other Men Fished Blank.
Charles Grant had great and well
deserved reputation for finding fish In
water which other men had fished blank.
This was partly because, from long ia
Iniliarity with the river, he knew all
the nkeliest casts, partly because he was
sure to have at the end Of his casting
line Just the proper fly for the size of
water and condition Of weather, and
partly because Of his quiet, neat handed
manner of dropping his line on the wa
ter. There is story still current on
Speyside illustrative Of this gift of
Charlie in finding fish where people
who rather fancied themselves had fail
ed--a story which Jamie Shanks to this
day does not care to hear. Mr.. Russell of
The Scotsman had done his very best
from the quick run at the top of the
pool Of Dalbreck, down to the almost
dead still water at the bottom Of that
fine stretch, and had found no luck.
Jamie Shanks, who was with Mr..
| Russell as his fisherman, had gone over
it to no purpose with fresh fly. They
were grumpishly discussing whether
| they should give Dalbreok another turn,
/ or go ON to Pool-o- Brock, the next pool
down stream, when Charles Grant made
his appearance and asked the waterside
question, "What luok?" mo luck at
| all, Charlier' was Russel's answer.
"Deevil risel' was Shanks' sourer re-
ply. In his demure, purring way Charles
Grant, who, in his manner, was du-
plicate of the late Lord Granville, re-
marked, "There ought to be fish come
out of that pool. I" '"Tak' him out,
thenl" exclaimed Shanks grufly.
"well, I'll try" quoth the soft spoken
Charlie. and just at that spot, about 40
yards from the head of the pool, where
the current slackens and the fish lie
awhile before breasting the upper rapid,
he hooked fish. Then it was that Rus
sci, in the gesial manner which made
provosts swear, remarked, "Shanks,
advise you to take half year at Mr..
Grants school" Fiat forf" inquired
Shanks sullenly. ''To learn to fish, y re-
