RICH BUT NOT HAPPY.
Mrs. Midas Thought She Had Everything
She Wanted.

Kansas City Journals; Yes, l have
everything I want" sighed Mrs. Midas,
looking at her reflection in the mirror.
Very becoming were the costly furs,
the exquisite hat, and the French COVE,
and as one footman carried her wraps
to her victoria and another stood walt
ing to receive her commands, she felt
that she had, on the whole, done well
for herself, and that her lines were
laid in pleasant places, indeed. at
would have been absolute madness to
have married Tom,' she soliloQuiZed,
as the man too his place by the
coachman and her perfectly appointed
%equipage, on It's rubber tires, sped up
the avenue. What a struggle it would
have been! Fancy living in a tiny fiat
with one maid and skimping and saw
ing and going without decent clothes!
We should both have been wretched
in a year! Mr.. Midas is very kind,
and l really like him, only-it Is a
little dull. | do not enjoy anything
much nowadays, one dinner Is like an
other one, and one ball is like every
other one, and l get tired to death
driving in the park or making visits.
What fun it used to be in the old days
when Tom had a holiday and we used
to go off on a spree! Nothing ex-
pensive. Sometimes 1t would be a
ferryboat, sometimes a hanson, or a
ride into the country on ou bicycles,
but it was delicious. l wish l could
do things now like that! Only Mr..
Midas couldn't ride a wheel, and l
shouldn't wish him to, poor thing, and
it would be ridiculous for us, of course,
to go off on such expeditions"
Just then her carriage entered the
park, and side by side with the more
pretentious vehicle wheeled "a bicycle
built for two" guided by a manly-look-
ing young fellow with a pretty girl in
front. Their traps showed they were
bound for a long expedition, and both
looked as pleased as possible. Mrs. Mi
das touched her bell.
You can go home, Thomas she
said to the footman, who sprang from
his seat at his mistress signal. Tell

tears. How happy they seemed" she
sobbed. And how | envied them!
How lonely it felt to be out Of all that
glad old time! oh, Tom. Tom! What

BUSINESS WOMEN.
They Know the Trials of the Busy
Man.

They Know the Trials OF the Busy
1t has frequently been said hat wo-
men in business employments do not
make as desirable wives as their sis
tiers who have lived only domestic
lives, but a recent observer takes a
wholly different view Of the case, says
the Anaconda Standard. He holds
that the effect of the m in bust
ness is not so much to the advantage
of the woman as to the business man.
Such a has more respect for
him, more regard, more sympathy. She
is altogether less likely voluntarily to
impose upon him or involuntarily to
harass and worry him. She has been
there; she knows how it is herself.
and this personal experience and
knowledge make her more lenient and
considerable. Every woman wage-earn-
err worthy of the name learns first,
last and all the time that success Is
attained by close attention and single
miDdedness. The woman who realizes
this must also realize that the same
rule holds good of the business man. In
a present capacity Of daughter and sis
ter, or in a future capacity as wife, she
is certain to show such keen co~nsidera-
ton for the business members of the
household as is undreamed of in the
philosophy of the other kind Of women.
There is no danger of her husband
being besought to just stop on his way

They Are Fond of Cheerful Surrounds
ings-How to Improve Your Homes.
Probably at no time in the worlds
history has SO much attention been
paid to the interior decoration of
homes as at present. No home, no
matter how humble, is without Its
handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surround
ings more cheerful. The taste of the
American people has kept pace with
the age. and almost every day brings
forth something new in the way Of a
picture, a draping, a piece OF furniture
or some form of mural decoration.
One Of the latest of these has been
given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in a series OF four
handsome porcelain game plaques.
Not Tor years has anything as hand
some In this line been seen. The sub
jects represented by these plaques are
American Will Ducks, American
Pheasant, American Quail and English
Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
ing on dining-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them
to a place in the parlor Of any home.
Ihes original plaques have been pur-
chased at a cost OF $50, 900 by J. G.
Hubinger Bros. Co, manufacturers of
the celebrated Elastic Starch, and in
order to enable their numerous GUS
toners to become possessors of these
handsome works Of art they have had
them reproduced by a special process
In ali Inc rich colors and beauty Of
the original. They are finished on
heavy cardboard, pressed and en-
hOCQR6 In tho shann ~ a n1anr1a and
trimmed with a heavy band Of gold.
They measure forty inches in circun-
ference and contain no reading matter
or advertisement whatever.
Until October / Messrs. J. G.. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co. propose to distribute
tLese plaques free to their customers.
Every purchaser of three ten-cent
packages Of Elastic Starch, fat-iron
brand, manufactured by J.. G. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive
one Of these handsome plaques free
from their grocer. Old and new GUS
toners alike are entitled to the bene-
fits OF this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your
grocer. Every grocery store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. It
is the oldest and best laundry starch
on the market, and Is the most perfect
cold process starch ever invented. It
is the only starch made by men who
thoroughly understand the laundry
business, and the only starch that will
not inJure the finest fabric. 1t has been
the standard for a quarter of a CEN
fury, and as an evidence Of how good
1t is twenty-five million packages were
sold last year. Ask your dealer to
show you the plaques and tell you
about Elastic Starch. Accept no sub
stitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good a short time only, and
should be taken advantage of without
delay.

A Girls Work

A young and clever Boston girl in
this city, whose fathers failure obliged
her to earn her own living, is doing
alton. She styles herself a "caretaker
of br~ic-a-brac and works of art" She
dusts, cleans paintings, repairs fine
china, regilds or Furnishes ancient
metal work, removes stains and
weatherings, restores faded writings,
destroys moths and bookworms, index
es scrapbooks, catalogues, collections
and Identifies curios. She has a large
acquaintanceship and is personally
popular. Her work demands a sure
hand, a quick eye and a large amount
of knowledge.-New York Mail and

Fish es from a Cable.

For some time the actions of a man
in a small boat below the steel bridge
have attracted attention. He has been
out in the river yer ON the stormiest
days, apparently pulling something up
from the river. The mystery has been
solved. The man is simply fishing.
He has a wire cable stretched from one
side of the river to the other, to which
innumerable hooks are attached. He
catches boat loads of suckers, which he
sells to Cinnamon, and it is said makes
a good living. He starts at one side OF
the river and pulls up the wire cable as
he slowly moves across, and takes the
fish on the hooks as he comes to them.
1t takes him a long time to inspect the
line from n side of the river to the
other. He then returns, repeating the
operation, and sc on all day. Some
times he makes a big haul. He has
beer seen to take as many as a dozen
fish within ten feet. He has several
hundred hooks attached to the line,
and a sucker must be alert to escape
the toils.-Portland Oregonian.

They are composed Of a main inner

II is the differences in the sizes of the
hoops which distinguishes in the main
the Armstrong gun from the Ameri-

are much longer than those in the Arm

strength to support them from bend
ing. The Jacket is placed over the tube
at the breech end of the gun, after be-
ing planed down and made ready for
shrinkage. The interior diameter of
jacket is made just a little less than
the exterior diameter Of the tube, over
which it is first to be expanded, and
then shrunk with a certain required
tension. The jacket is raised to a
dull, red heat, until it is expanded to
the most d~elicately measured diameter,
when 1t is slipped over the tube and
cooled down slowly and evenly. After
this the jacket is carefully prepared for
the first hoop, which is built on in
the same way as the Jacket. This
process is kept up until all the hoops
are in place. The rough surface Of the
gun is then planed down and brought
to Its proper dimensions, and the gun
is ready for the rifing and the placing
OF the breech mechanism. The vari-
