A PRIMEVAL SCRAP.
Hsut There Was One Thing, They Had to
 Be Thankful For.

Adam and Evo were experiencing a slight domestic difficulty.
 eff I had known it was going to be you," she sobbed
 ''Don't worry about that, my dear," ho responded. "I'm not enjoying it any more than you are"
 "Thcre you go again. You haven't the slightest regard for my feelings D
 "Oh, but I have, my dear," he sneer- cd. "I'm sure don't pay attention to any other women, and you can't say that l ever said your biscuits weren' t as good as my mother made. "
 "You mover had chance," she snap ped at him.
 'That' s all right" he nagged, after the fashion of husbands who try to put great deal of meaning into what there is really none i'll, ''but just the same l wasn't particularly unhappy before l ever met you.
 "Neithcr was before I met you. And her face grew red and white ill spots as she spared with him.
 LAW, we'll now, my lady," he said, with more or less scorn, II guess you weren't much before married you
 "I guess I was about as much as you were. You couldn't have married any body else. :"
 "How do you know I couldn't?" he retorted. ''You weren't keeping tab on me before you met me, were you?"
 She wasn't making much headway, and she realized the fact
 Well, I don care, ,' she answered in the peculiarly lgical way of women.
 "You oUghtn't to, seeing that didn't marry you for your money, or your fam fly, or for social position. '
 eff it wasn't for one thing, I'd go right home to my mother. "
 "Oh, don't let anything prevent you. I'm sure can get along as well without you as you can without me-
 ''You are only trying to provoke ne | into leaving your roof, she almost sob | bed.
 "I like that" he smiled.
 "Of course you would like it, you norrid wretch. I'd give anything if I only had a big brother. "
 "You might call in the police," he suggested
 She knew he had reached the silly point of the quarrel, and she saw her way out of the whole thing.
 "Anyhow, dear," she said as smile game through her tears and made a rainbow on her face, "there's one thing you can be thankful for, and that is that your mother -in-law doesn't live with you. "
 "Darling" he exclaimed joyously and folded her to his thrObbing bosom.

He Wanted to Experiment..

He stOld fer |. minute looking into tho open door of a Woodward avenue drug store, and when ho entered and ap- preached tho soda fountain it was on tiptoe, and he likewise spoke ill whis- pers us he said to tho clerk who was rinsing the glasses:
 Twill you, sir-will you kindly per init me to ask you question:"
 "What is it?" was the query as the clerk wondered what sort of a man he had gotten hold of.
 "I have heard of people exploding after drinking soda water"
 "So have I, but I don't believe it. '
 "Don t you know of any cases?"
 "No, sir"
 "And yet, sir" continued the man as he rubbed his hands and grew more earnest, 'soda water is effervescent?"
 "Oh, yes!"
 "Under certain conditions of the hu- man system the gas contained ill a glass of soda water might be let loose with the most disastrous effects on the i'm biber. In fact, sir, he might explode blow up-bo shattered into fragments while his palate was yet tickled with the flavor of pineapple and cream" "
 What do you want?" bluntly de- manded tho clerk as Inc finished rinsing the last glass.
 "I'd hko to try it, sir," hoarsely whispered the caller.
 "You mean you'd like to see if 8 glass of our soda would blow you up?"
 "Yes, sir. ''
 "Well, can tell you that it won 't- not today-not unless you've got nickel to lay down for it. ''
 "You don't wish to try any expert ments?''
 "No, sir. ''
 'Just so. I am perfectly willing to take my chances, but you have no curi- osity. understand you perfectly. In stead of experimenting you are after the dross?''
 "That's it."
 "I see. Takes dross to run a soda fountain. Out of the natural kindness of your heart you-you couldn't'- "No, sir. ''
 "I see--I understand. But there are other soda fountains in Detroit?''
 "Oh, yesr'
 "And may find one where willing ness to be blown up will take the place of dross?''
 Perhaps so, but wouldn't t bank on it."
 "I see-I follow you. No, we won't bank on it, but we'll hopefully investi gate. Young man, thank you. You are drossy, but not too drossy. Shl Give nothing away and good nightP

Courage and Presence of Mind.

Miss Roberta West is receiving the congratulations of her friends for hero ism and presence of mind. She outwit- ted mad dog in the keenest way re- gently. Miss West is the superintendent of the Emergency hospital ill Washing ton. She was assistant to Miss Smith, the superintendent at Blockley hospital for several years, and only went to Washington some months ago. But back to the canine and the young woman $ bravery.
 The dog, a full grown fox terrier, had run into the hospital yard and was rushing hither and thither to find his way out again. The black janitor ran for him with a broom, but on seeing his foam tlecked mouth fled into the hospi- tai Miss West was at a window watch ing the Sunday school children pass on the walk just beyond the fence through which the dog was trying to break.
 Spying the dog, she turned and grab bed sheet from 0 bed and ran into the yard The dog saw her and rushed for her. She took hold of the upper ends of the sheet and let the lower end fall on the ground just before the dog reached her. Then, stepping quickly back as the dogs feet touched the sheet, she lowered her end, bent it over the dog, grabbed the lower ends and then strengthening up had the struggling, snarling terrier caught like rat in 8 trap Amid the applause of those who saw her act che carried her prisoner to the operating room, sprinkled some chloroforn on the sheet, and ere long the dog was dead.-Washington Letter.

Mother Love.

It has become fashionable to poke fun at Chicago. The great, busy, rushing, hustling city is made the subject of no end of friendly ridicule, if such term be allowed. Yet out of Chicago come many lessons that deserve moro than passing notice-in fact are worthy of study and emulation. It fS @ Chicago mother who has just given the world an illustration of the depth and intensity of Q mothers love that may we'll lead timid manhood to fear for the power of the coming wo- man.
 It was a divorce case in which an at torney asked the mother as to the where abouts of her daughter, whom the father had not seen for years, and it is claimed that the discovery of the daughter is the sole aim of the father in the case. The mother declined to give the desired in formation, when she was informed by the court that she must give it or go to prison. This mother did not go into hys- terics nor create 0 scene in court, but calmly informed the court that she did not regard the father as safe guardian for the child and could not think of placing her in his power.
 When again assured that she must tell or go to jail, the mother asserted her readiness to take her secret to prison with her. The country will respect the opinions and rulings of courts and clamor for the upholding of the majesty of the law. But there must be thrill ing response to the spirit of the mother and longing to weave laurel wreath for the love that looks through courts and cross examinations and criticisms and prison bars and sees only the object of its yearning and solicitude. It is a grand thought that there are such moth CTS in Chicago-if they do put them in jail.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

The Patti of Today.

It was tho same Adelina Patti that I had met nine years ago in America-I was almost going to say 20 years ago in London. In fact, do say it, for years touch the form and features of this won derful woman only as yesterdays. Her face is that of healthy, happy, lovely woman of 30, and her figure almost girlish ill its grace.
 "Yes, she began, "my reception was most gratifying the other night. I thought the people never would stop cheering I assure you, it brought tears to my eyes, and my heart had to be pushed well down my throat before l could find my voice.
 My voice? Yes; I know. It has al ways astonished me myself, but, then, God gave it to mo, and I pray and be- lieve that it will be many long year before he takes it from me. Like Vio- letta, would sing my highest, sweetest note even with my last breath.
 DO feel moro fatiguod now than l used to? No, but, remember, take the very, very best care of myself, and of every detail of my health. My diet, my wines, my hours of sleep, of practice, of recreation age all most thou2htfully arranged and under absolute regulation, and I never transgress. And, again, cher monsieur, think that the school of operatic training to which I belong no longer exists-in fact, am sure it docs not. AZ 1 told Christine Nilsson the other day, when we met in Paris, Only you aill arc left, my dear, and she agreed with me. Singers were not turned out ill half dozens like-like- we'll, to uso an Americapism, like oys- ters on the half shell! I cannot help thinking that the reason that so few voices last among the present day sing. CTS is because so much of their tuition was forced.

Gentle ou.Akeresses Ask For Rights.

A gentle sipple from the storm of new womaniEm which is uprooting old traditions and overturning ancient land marks has reached the borders of the sedate and tranquil Quakeresses who in- habit Croydon. Its influence has brought to them the, awakening that they ought to do something more in the society to which they belong than has hitherto fallen to their lot. What that something is they are not yet quite sure, but they think they have @ mission. Instead, however,of organizing meetings, mount ing platforms and making declamatory speeches demanding their rights, they have presented a peaceful petition to tho male elders merely asking for permis- sion to fulfill their duties" What these duties are the men are left to de. termine. A committee of male Friends has been appointed to consider the mat. ter and to consult with the ladies ii necessary on the subject. Tels' praph

SKETCHES BY M. QUAD
Wanted to Know sunthin.

There had been an accident down the road, making the expected train three hours late, and of course all the waiting passengers were nad-all but little old man who sat on a salt barrel on the long depot platform and figured away with pencil on piece of brown paper. By and by he rose up and went over to fat man who was leaning against a hogshead of sugar and said:
 ''I want to ask you question or two. You know what the sun is, of course. We all know that, but I'm little mix ed. Does the airth revolve around the sun, or is it jest the other way?'
 II don't know, and don't care continentalr" exclaimed the fat man ill reply.
 "You don'tp waal, that's kinder sin g'lari You know the distance to the sun, don't you?'
 "None of your business whether do or notr'
 "ShooI Whats the use O gittin mad about nuthin? You are as techy as a hired man before breakfast on Jinuary mornin. If you'd asked me how fur 1t

 II don't want any talk with your' the fat man growled as he waved him off
 "You don'tl Seems to me you are ready to bile over like hot soapI If you don't want to talk, there's no law to make you, but I should think you'd be glad of an opportunity to store your mind with useful knowledge s'pose you know this airth was once liquid mass, don't you?"
 Didn't tell you to go away?" shouted the fat man as he grew red in the face and fiourished his arms around.
 "Waal, swamp gasped the old man as he turned to the crowd which had gathered. Gentlemen, I hain't tryin to pick fight .hain't even mad. I jest asked him whether the airth re- volved around the sun or vishy varshy, and he flared right up on me. hain't askin fur information to make bet on, but to store up in my mind"
 "Well, I don't want to talk with you, and that settles it'' replied the fat man.
 "Don't you know how fur it is from this depot to the moon?" persisted the old man.
 Do you want me to lay you up for six months?"
 ''Skassly, but seems to mo every crit ter on airth with any sense ill his head orter be interested in these things. You don't seem to kcer ? cents about how the pyramids in Egypt was erected"
 "Will you go away" "I s'poso so, but it does seem sing lar that crittor of your aige and heft should be SOL
 The fat man grabbed him and gave him Q slam to the right and then slam | to the left and then shook his old hat off and ripped the collar off his coat and pitched him over the hogshead among a | lot of soapboxes. It was five minutes before the old chap crawled out and five minutes more before he seemed to realize the situation. When things were somewhat clear to him, he slowly reach cd his feet, looked around upon the crowd ill a dazod sort of way and slow | ly said:

The Express may be shy on financial

credit for tho possession OF an abundance
of nerve, for 1t tackles the foregoing in
disputable proposition with the heroic, If

BY the bull that attempts to butt full

The proposition rs stated by Secretary
