Thc Joke on Mr.. Forsyth.

Mr.. Harter Is nursing Mrs. Forsyth's
secret, ard swears that ne viii never tell
! it until Mr.. Forsyth comes home, and
then both he and Mrs Forsyth will have
a glorious joke on the husband of the
| good woman in the case, says the Chi
! cago Record.
mat is what Mr.. Harter tells Mrs For
syth. but TO himself ne communes differ
| entity. Somehow he fails to see how the
| joke is on Mrs. Forsyth.
This condition of affairs grew out of az
| election bet. Mr.. Harter was calling at
| the Forsyth home when the bet was
made. The subject of politics coming up,
he warmly Wagered a hat that Carter
Harrison would not get as many votes
| as Nathaniel c. Sears. Mrs. FORSYTH was
somewhat interested, and asked as to how
election bets were made and how they
were paid.
.'Oh, we don't keep any record of such
things" Mr.. Harter loftily explained.
After the election the winner will go
to hat store and get a hat and have it
charged to the loser. That's all" Mrs.
Forsyth studied upon it. and thought
after all it was very simple and she ap-
proved it all the more when she found
her husband had won. She could not
congratulate Mr.. Forsyth. for he had
gone 10 Denver, to- be absent several
days But she did congratulate herself.
-Four days after the election Mr. Har-
ter called al the Forsyth home again.
I'm so glad you came" Mrs. FORSYTH
gleefully declared. Il was afraid 1
wouldn't see you before Tom came home.
and 1 want you to help me play a joke
on him. have already played the joke,
but l don't want you to let him know
anything about it, and then when he has
returned you will come UP to dinner. and
we shall tell him of it together and have
great laugh on him.
Yes" said Mr. Harter, smiling.
Yes; it's about the hat he won, you
know. Now he will come home expecting
to have nice silk hat waiting for him. .
Yes, and he will have said Mr.. Har-
ter. Il lost, you know"
ITO be sure. But he won't have any
hat waiting for him at all. You remem-
Der you told me how such bets were liaui-
dated, don't you? Well, instead of waiting
for him to get one I went and ordered a
nice spring hat for myself and had the bill
fixed to be sent to you instead of the bill
for the silk hat, you know Won't Tom
be surprised? Won't it be a most deli
cious joke on him?"
Yes. Ha, ha!'' laughed Mr. Harter.
with the earnestness of a man whose
taxes have been doubled by a conscien-
t1ous assessor.
But as he thought of $35 spring hat
being balanced against an IS silk tile, it
made him feel strange and queer. Still,
he is waiting for Mr.. Forsyth to come
home so as to join Mrs. Forsyth in tell
ing her joke on the absent husband.

THE UNITED STATES.
Captain General WeyIer's Resigna-
ton at Madrid, but Not Likely to
Be Accepted Soon.

LONDON. June 1.-THE Madrid CORE
spondent Of the Pail Mall Gazette says:
1T is thought that the Cabinet as at pres
ent constituted will continue only during
the summer sojourn of the court at San
Sebastian, and that on the Queen Regents
return to the capital it will be radically
changed. Senior Canovas del Castillo de-
MES the report OF the retirement of Captain
General Weyler, but, although for the mo-
ment he remains at his post, there is the
best reason for believing that his resigna-
ton has been received by the premier, to
be accepted or not, as the latter deems
best according to the circumstances of the
moment. In the meantime Captain General
Weyler has sent a telegram to the premier
recommending that municipal elections be
held Immediately in Cuba This may be the
precursor of other concilatory measures on
his part, but Captain General Weyler's an
tecedents are not such as to inspire conf
dence among the people of the island with
regard to his bona fide direction of liberal
reforms is the present rehabilitated
government in position to keep him long
at his post in view of the path that will
have to be followed for a general pacifica-
ton of Cuba"
The Madrid correspondent of the Stand
ard says: THE Madrid papers re-echo the
popular anxiety and curiosity concerning
the attitude which the United States will
adopt in the face of recent events The
sensation caused by the reports OF a
change of attitude increased when 1t was
announced that American tribunals had ac-
quilted tilibusters who had been stopped
by and American man-of-war; Much sup
pressed Indignation can be discerned be-
tween the lines of press articles of every
shade of opinion bitterly resenting the idea
of American interference in Cuba. Every
thing shows that Spain is drifting again
into strained relations with the United
States. Indeed, most Spaniards are con-
WINGED that the significance of the issue
lies in the fact that the Queen Regent mas
given another trial to the Canovas-We yler
policy chiefly because the premier ana the
captain general are both considered pest
able to show a bold front and to act with
energy in case President Mckinley and
Secretary Sherman should decide to inter-
yene upon humanitarian and phianthropic
grounds. Any suggestion of mediation OF
any kind shows but little knowledge or the
temper and feeling of the Spantards. ANY
such step on the part of America would
induce all parties. even the Repubncans
and Carists to rally round the Cablnet.
Although official circles and the press ar
feet to feel confidence in the friendly as
position of America, it is easy to detect
Unusual anxiety as to the news from
Washington
