Alan Carteret. who styles himself cyni-
caily "Carteret Uitimus.' He is a young
man full Of independence, such as usually
charactcriZes the spirited rising generation
of this republic. He has many other fine

In single chapter, and Mr.. Sturgis does
not give himself an opportunity to maxi.

story are nicely woven and the aftermath

HOW 10 Treat O Wife,
From the Pacific Health Journal.

From the Pacific Health Journal.
First, get a wife second, be pa
ticnt. You may have great trials and
pcrplexities in your business, but do
not, therefore, carry to your home a
cloudy or contracted brow. Your wife
may have trials, which, though of less
magnitude, may be hard for her to
bear. A kind word, a tender look,
will do wonders in chasing from her
brow all clouds Of gloom.-.To this we
would add always keep a bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy in the
house. 1t is the best, and is sure to
be needed sooner or later. Your wife
will then know that you really cafe
for her and wish to protect her health.

How he was Henpecked.

"If there is a man in this world that
excites my sympathy it is a henpecked
husband, said Colonel Rimple. "Some
time ago my friend Amelton invited
me to 60 home with him. I promised,
providing he would wait until I trans
acted a certain piece of business. He
agreed reluctantly, saying that he
promised his wife that he would be
home at a certain hour. After l fin
ished my business l accompanied him.
As we proceeded, he remarked:
"Rimple, I am the worst %henpecked
man in town; That's why 1 am in
such a hurry"
II was very much disappointed
when we reached the house. I ex-
pected to see a masculine looking wo
man, with a savage face and harsh
voice but I was introduced to a little,
meek looking woman, with a delicate
face and plaintive tone of voice. After
supper, when Amelton and [ were sit
ting in the library smoking, l remark
ed:
essay, didn't you mislead me about
the henpecked business {? Idon'tknow
that [ ever saw a gentler woman than
your wife.
"'No, sir, I have not misled you.
Gentleness is her strongest hold. 1t
is her gentleness that knocks me.
Don't think that the scold is the
worst type of heupeckiug women, for
she isn't. Why, sir, if my wife were
a scold, I would get mad and leave the
house, but as it is [ am disarmed.
When I leave home my wife always
insists upon my appointing the exact
time when I will return. If | am late,
no matter what business has detained
me, she cries and takes on and declares
that I don't love her. When [ vow
by all things sacred that I do love her,
and that I was detained by business
that could not be postponed, she
wrings her hands and weeps so violently
that I am sometimes afraid people
think I am abusing her. She has a
way of signing and turning owe in
bed with a kind of dcspairing hounce,
and instead of asking me, as is her
custom, if I have locked all the doors,
she slides out of bed with a suppressed
ooh, me J. and goes on a tour Of in
spection. Every time she quiets
down, l try to convince her that she
is wrong and that l do love her, but
just as SCOT as I say word, she breaks
out afresh, and turns over with another
despairing founce. Next morning she
gets up before I awake. When / get
up I find her at the breakfast table,
with swollen eyes and an expression
of such unutterable sadness that I feel
like kicking myself. This is what
call the worst kind of %henpecking,
and don't misunderstood me when !
say a man doesn't want more than two
such sieges a month";"

On Behalf OF Jane,

I had passed the night al the cabin
| of a settler named Green, who had a
wife and four children, and there was
living with him sister about 30 years
old by the name of Jane. This young
woman had a form which was all ang-
les, and her face was the homeliest
thing in the State Of Kansas. I of
course talked to her more or less
and sought to be agreeable, and when
/ resumed my journey next morning |
shook hands with her as well as with
the man and his wife. I had gone
about three miles when [ vas over
taken by Mr.. Green, who was armed
with a rife and knife, and as he came
up he said:
~"Stranger, if you are the sort of man
I take you to be we needn't 60 into
court with this case"
what do you meau?" ]. asked in
establishment.
"You know what I mean, sir! If we
go into court we shall make it hot for
you!'
"Into court for what?'
"Why about Jane, my sister. !
left her in a fit, with her eyes rollin'
when I come away from home. Poor
gal! It's a hard blow to her."
"What do you mean about Jane?
Just tell me straight out what you are
driving at will you?'
"Look here. sir!'' he %sternly replied,
as he fondled his rife; "you created
| opes in that girls heart that you'd
marry her!'
"Never! Never p
eyes, you did You talked with
her and smiled at her, and she never
slept a wink all night for thinkin'
you'd ask her to marry you before
goin' away this morning
Great Scots, man, but she must be a
Ounce! I only showed her common pc,
liteness.'
"But she fell in love with you"
81 can't help that, can r.
you've got to help! You've crush
ed her heart and have got to pay for
it. It's agin the laws of this State to
riz up a gals hopes and then bust EN-.
Will you settle or 60 into court?"
"How much to settler"
"Now that's the way to talk. Now
won't have to do no shootin'. Now l
kin go back and face Jane and ask her
to live on and hope some more! Stran
ger, you look sorter decen;, and meb-
be you didn't mean to toy with her
maidenly heart, and so Ill let you off
fur seven dollars.
"And if l don't pay?"
"Wall, I may get mad and shoot, or
[ may take you into court and sue for
$40, 900. I wouldn't take no risks if
1 was you, as this is one Of my days
for gittin' mad purity easy!'
I told him I'd pay, and I did pay,
though I looked upon it as highway
robbery, and after pocketiDg the mon

Wasting Tissues.

What is the next thing for our scien-
tific men TO discover? OF course we un-
derstand that magnificent results would
follow the economical storage of elec-
tricity, and we all admit that it would
be great comfort to chase birds through
the air with wings as good as their own.
But there is another matter far more
mportant-namely, to find some way
in which the wasting tissues of the body
can be restored. AS it is now we lose a
little more than we gain, and after
awhile the tide ceases to ebb and is sim
ply "out." F" Now, if the poise could be
maintained and we could replace what
we lose we might live as long as we
pleased, but, better still, we might re-
new each defective function, and live
healthily. What a marvellous question
that isl And how easy it appears to be
to make the needed discovery! Perhaps
it will come by and by. Who knows?-

/ had been in buggy among the
trees and swamps of Florida most of
the day and got to a clearing with a
mournful, dirty looking house in the
midst, when the sun was sinking theat-
rically at the back of the forest. The
house did not claim to be hotel, but
they could put me up in it. The owner
came in by and by with a small deer on
his shoulders, and there was plenty Of
duck stew in a saucepan. My darky
camped out amid the pines, where his
fire made a picturesque spot in the
gloom. Near him were two caravans.
They held the goods and chattels Of a
couple of families from Iowa. These in
nocents had fallen victims to an adver-
tisement. The land they had come to
was thickly speckled with the charred
stumps of great pines. They had under
stood it to be as manageable as so much
prairie.

were all foregathering in the house
where was lodged. But my host gave
them no comfort. Mr.. - (the land
agent who had vexed them) would" he
said, "settle up hell if the devil gave
him chance, and that's a fact" F" The
husband of the wife remarked with en-
phasis that he deserved to have that
chance at once.-Cornhill Magazine.

bert and Mulberry Bend.
Professor Grafalo has recently been
lecturing ON the subject in Rome and
attributes much of the tendency TO
homicide to the existence Of the ven
delta, which survives in full force in
Italy after its practical extinction in
other countries. The explanation has
some weight, no doubt, but an ampler
one is to be found in the fact that the
people there are bred in savage disre-
gard of human life and are ready TO ap-
peal TO the stiletto on the slightest prov
ocation. AT home the custom is looked
upon with some toleration as belonging
to the locality and the social habits Of
the people, but when they emigrate
