1t IS characteristic Of the perversity
Of human intelligence 10 find the most
amusing things in the midst Of the
most serious circumstances--such as
railroad accidents. for instance. II is
related that a solemn-faced Yankee
woman was once riding on the train
from BroolSfield to Stamford, Conn.
Somewhere between the two stations
the track spread. and the train rolled
down an embankr;ent.
The solemn-faccd lady crawled from
beneath the wreckage, and asked OF a
broken-legged man who was near:
"Is this Stamford?"
"No, ma'am," the man gasped, "this
is a catastrophe!"
"Oh, dear!" she answered, "then |

This anecdote is much like a still
older one which, in its original and
proper form, came from Scotland. An
old Scottish woman was taking her
first Journey, to the very next station, on
a railroad train. On the way a switch
was left open, and the train went into
the ditch with a crash.
As soon as the old woman could re-
gain her senses and her tongue, sne
called out to the guard, who happened
TO be on the same wrecked car:
"And do they aye whummle us ooc
like that?"-Youth's Companion.

THE BUsYBOOY.

She sits behind the curtains drawn,
Or eise behind the shutters;
She watches every coat and hat
And every dress that fiutters;
There's not thing the neighbors do
Unless they seek to poster
By shutting doors and windows, too
That doesn't interest her.
She knows what kind of meat they buy,
What kind of servants buy it,
Who calls on who and when and why
And no one can deny it.
She hears the door bells when they ring
And, though she may be sleeping,
Up from her slumbers she will spring
To do her little peeping.
It's really fun, so folks aver,
To see her daily lodging:
A matrimonial spat to her
Is food and drink and lodging.
And should some husband come home late
O'ercome with curious capers,
He might as well proclaim his state
In all the daily papers.
She'll tell you what the lovers say
When on the steps they're spooning,
And each piano, far away,
That stands in need Of tuning.
About her knowledge of affairs
She often grows elated,
And seems to know most everything
Except just how she's hated.

THE BOTHER.

Dear, dear! what bothersome babvi'
Inc care-Wearied mother sighed out,
AS she looked at the books and the play
things
That were everywhere scattered about.
Al the great dingy spot on the carpet,
Where he'd let grandma's s medicine fall.
ana the marks that the fat baby fingers
HAD left on the windows and wall.
iSuch baby for getting in mischief!
can't keep him tidy and sweet.
hough I'm busy from daylight to bedtime.
The room never seems to be neat
never catch up with my sewing;
I've never a moment to rest;''
nd she sighed as she threaded her needle
with life and its worries opprest.
L slow, muff1ed sound on the pavement,
she looks through the mist-clouded pane
And sees, almost under her window,
hearse going by in the rain.
Iheres little white casket inside 1t.
And then by swift tears it is hid,
AS she thinks of the household whose dar-
ling
Lies under the small cofin's lid.
She goes to the bed of her baby,
And kneels by the sleeper in tears,
And the prayer that goes UP, mute and
voorhees,
The great loving Father-Heart hears
No longer the child seems bother,
AS she thinks of the hearse in the rain,
And the mother-arms, aching and empty,
Where the little dead baby has lain.

a Ramedv for Thinnesa.

A French paper tells the story OF a
dramatic instructor who had as PIT
pil a girl who was very pretty, but
woefully thin. Thinness is SO fatal on
the stage-except where there is the
highest genius. as in the case Of that
great actress of whose admirers II is
said that they prefer grace before
meat~-that he consulted physician
about it. The physician recommended
belladonna. "Why ?" asked the dramatic
instructor. Because" was the reply

WE'D ON THE QUIET.
Two Prominent Young People
Surprise Their Friends.
MR. AND MRS. B. H. WILSON How

Hiss Lucy May Baker the BrlAs to the
Happy Event which IL Celebratsd h
Davenport and witnesses Bound q
sesrecy-But Some Oae Drops . Word.
Friends of Burtus H. Wilson aud
Miss Lucy May Baker will be some
what surprised to learn that they
were the principals in marriage
celebrated one day last week. 1t
was all on the quiet. And 1t was
agreed by all witnessing the happy
event that it be held q secret until
such time as the bride and groom
saw tit to make the announcement.
But some one dropped word too
many. Mr.. Wilson is superinten-
dent of McCabe Bros. crockery de.
partment and resides at 544 TWEEN ty-
third street. Mrs, Wilson is the
handsome daughter of Mrs. Louise
F. Baker. of Sixth avenue. For the
past few years she has been con-
nected with the Rock Island Buggy
eompany's office as stenographer.
Both she and MIR. Wilson are active
workers in the Young Peoples socie-
ty of the Fret Baptist church. They
we're thrown in each others COM
pany considerably. Hence the at
tachment. But no one-eveu the
relatives of Miss Baker or Mr.. Wilson
believed it meant a wedding.
Fool Parents and Friends.
But it did. And there was q we'd
dind at the First Baptist church par
soaage in Davenport last Friday even
ing, which parents and friends Of
the happy couple are just becoming
aware Of. The affair was arranged
quietly and in such manner as not
to allow food for the least suspicion.
Friday night Mr.. Wilson and Miss
Baker accompanied several mem
bers Of the Baptist Young peo-
pies union to Davenport to at
tend services at the First Baptist
church. After the service Miss
Baker and Mr.. Wilson repaired to
the parsonage. where Rev. E. H.
Lovett pronounced them man and
wife in the presence Of . gentleman
friend.
All agreed to keep tho affair a
secret. Mrs. Wilson returned to her
home. So did Mr.. Wilson. The
bride returned to her duties at the
Rock Island Buggy company next
morning; no one was the wiser. But
shs could keep the news no longer
from her mother and Saturday night
she broke the secret.
at was our intention to keep il
quiet for few days." said MIR. vii.
son this morning. "but since it's out,
why its all right" MIR. and Mrs.
Wilson will reside with the brides
mother. Both are well known and
popular young people whose host OF
acquaintance will wish them joy in
their new life.

DR.. Kinyon attempted to interrupt
Mr.. Sweeney a couple OF times, but
President Robbins told the spokesman
to continue. And the doctor finally
pulled in his horns.
The resolutions from the teachers
were not even considered; so the
president ordered that they be filed
away. There were no comments.
At this juncture Mrs. Hamilton
asked Mr.. Marshall, secretary of the
boa-d. to explain what right he had
in taking such an active part in the
present controversy and in opposi-
ton to the majority of the board.
of which ne was q servant. Mr.. Mar
shall in very neat manner told Mrs.
Hamilton that he was 3 citizen, a
tax payer, friend of the teachers,
aud that he would do all in his power
to assist and advise them, which he
had been doing when solicited. and
would continue to do; and be further
gave Mrs. Hamilton to understand
that the holding Of the position OF
clerk Of the board Of education would
