II rweethearts were sveethearts always.
Whether a. maid or wife.
No drop would be half as pleasant
In the mingled draft OF life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and bushes
When the wife has frOwns and signs,
And the wife's have wrathful glitter
For the glow Of the sweetheart's eyes.
II lovers were lovers always,
The same TO sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for future Of Eden
The Joys Of this checkered life2
But husbands grow grave and silent,
And care on the anxious brow
Oft replaces the sunshine that persisted
With the words Of the marriage vow.
Happy il he whose sweetheart
l. wife and sweetheart still,
Whose voice, as Of old, can charm him:
Whose kiss, as Of old, can thrill;
Who has plucked the rose TO find ever
Its beauty and fragrance increase,
As the flush Of passion Is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace;
Who sees in the step lightness;
Who finds in the form a grace;
Who reads AN unaltered brightness
In the witchery Of the face.
Undimmed and unchanged. All, happy
Is he, crowned with such life,
Who drinks the wife pledging the sweet
heart
And toasts in the sweetheart the wife

HE RANG UP ANOTHER.
A Sober Mans Funny Experience With .
Fare Register.


Sometimes things happen to men who
are perfectly sober This one happened
on north bound Limits" car.
The car was crowded, and when
Schiller street was reached, the lady who
sat Just about amidships was unable TO
attract the attention of the conductor to
have him signal so she might get off.
Mr.. Sanborn is always gracious, al
ways suave, always courteous. he saw
beauty in distress, and he believed III
helping his neighbor. So be reached mp
to the cord and rang the bell. OF course
it was the wrong cord, and the arrow
ON the face Of the cash register moved
up from IS TO sc.
Il is not recorded that a conductor
ever failed to notice il when this sort OF
blunder occurred. And so the conductor,
far away as he was, ont of sight OF the
passengers signal, began to edge his
way forward through the crowd, venge-
ance threatened by his manner.
OF course the passengers Uttered, and
Mr.. Sanborn should have turned red.
But he didn't.
He awaited the approach of the col
lision with the same suavity. The lady
in whose behalf the harm was done had
left him to his fate and was edging to
J the front door as the car came to halt.
"Who rang up that fare?" demanded
the man with proper grievance.
"Idid. manfully replied the culprit,
| He afterward avowed that he was ready
to plead guilty in any other language
il, as he expected, the conductor might
not be fluent with English.
The representative Of corporation
lost no time. He expressed various
opinions, all tending to harmony o.
result. of the man who would do such I
copsummately idiotic trick as to rims
nm fare instead Of pulling the sigma
hell. OF course from his point OF view
IL was a stupid trick. The conductor
who would be so stupid would have
trouble in maintaining his standing
with the authorities Of the line.
But Mr.. Sanborn wasn't conducto
and didn't want TO be. He accepted tn
situation, and when the conducto
reached the end, he was ready.
"You'l have to pay that fare, con
| cluded the conductor.
Every well. can do it," said MI
Sanborn, handing silver dime to hi
assailant.
The latter fished around in his poke
for the nickel that was due in return.
Thou came Mr.. Sanborn's reveno"

THE SUIT DIDN'T FIT.
Why Henry Groenninger Spent an I'm.
comfortable Hour in Justice Ker-
rigan's Court Yesterday.

Henry Groenninger spent an uncomfort-
able hour in Justice Kerrigan's court
yesterday while being pulled and hauled
about by a trio of expert tailors, and all
because the fit of a suit of clothes did not
please him.
Groennlnger ordered the suit from John
Lemons and agreed to pay $50 for it. put
ting down $5 as deposit. When the out
fit came home he refused to accept il, on
the ground that it did not fit. Lemons
sued him for the $25 balance.
When the case came up yesterday
Lemons contended that the best evidence
of the fitness or unftness of the suit would
be shown when 1t adorned the person of
the defendant, and Justice Kerrigan
ordered Groenninger to put on the
clothes.
Some trouble was encoun tered in find
ing a dressing-room, but the change was
finally accomp plished in the rear room of
the justice clerks office, and Groenninger
was escorted back to the courtroom clad
in the finery he had refused to ept.
To dress in such a place was bad, but
the ordeal that followed was worse. One
expert when called on to testify grabbed
him by the slack of the back and nearly
| jerked HIM off his feet while explaining
the mysteries of fitting coats, and another
bumped him under the chin while adjust

was a very smooth talker and he won the
girls heart. He was quite sporty in ap-
pearance and was one OF the best known
men of his class around town. On June
20. 1894, he married Miss Deel, who was
then only II, and the couple lived pleas
antly for more than year. About year
birth Lee began to show signs of uneasi-
ness ana expressed desire to leave
Oakland.
Some months ago the couple went to
Los Angeles, but their happiness soon
ended. According TO the story told by
the young wife's relatives, Mrs. Lee over
hauled her husbands trunk one day and
then there was a scene. She found a letter
from a woman who stated that unless he
produced papers showing that he had
been divorced from his former wife all
spondence should cease.
This opened the wife's eyes and she de-
manded several kinds of an explanation.
Lee did not give her the satisfaction that
she sought, so she came back with her
child to Oakland, and has since resided
with her mother.
After returning to this city Mrs. Lee
started an investigation and discovered
that under the name of Bisbee her hus-
band had married woman in San Fran
cisco. but she could find no record of
divorce. She also found that at that par
ticular time her husband was anxious to
leave Oakland his San Francisco wife was
making inquiry regarding him. His
young Oakland wife then made a demand
on him for his divorce papers, but he
would not produce them, so she secured
the services OF ex-Judge Gibson, and Lee
was recently served with the papers in Los
Angeies.
Lee was arrested Monday night at Los
Angeles for an assault upon little Flossie
Foy, the 13-year-old daughter of one of
the best-known merchants of that city.
After his arrest he tried to ommit suicide.
