Marriage is necessity, both to the
greatest human happiness and the
greatest human misery.
No man ever knows his wife well
enough to know just what she is going
to say right after the company has
gone.
One of the first signs that man is
getting old is when he begins to reckon
his age by his last birthday instead of
his next.
After 4 woman has once seen a man
give nickel 10 worthless beggar she
will always say that anyway his heart
is in the right place.
1t is probable that no woman really
objects to the smell of tobacco on a
mans breath, and that no man has any
use for sailed almonds.

they would feel if it were for their

BREATHE UNDER WATER.
Observing SpOrtsmen Astonished by
the Beaver, otter and Muskrat.

Observing Sportsmen Astonished by
the Beaver, Otter and Muskrat.
1t is generally understood that the
beaver, otter, mink and muskrat are
semiaquatic in their habits, but Il is
doubtful whether anyone can say to
what extent they are able to dispense
with the regular respiration so essential
to life in ali warm blooded animals, and,
of course, impossible for them, while
beneath the surface of the water. A
bit of information upon this point
would be of great interest to me, and,
l presume, to many of your readers as
well. In my hunting expeditions
through various sections of the west
l have talked with many experienced
hunters on the subject and have found
that there is common belief that the
animals mentioned share with the
fishes an ability to draw supply Of
oxygen from the water, but the fallacy
of this idea is apparent at a glance.
The respiratory organs of the otter and
mink differ. in no way from those of
the racccon and rabbit. So far as can
see their lung capacity is comparatively
no greater. How, then. can the otter
stay SO long beneath the surface when
the rabbit can hardly survive mo-
mentary submersion?
While camping on Reelfoot lake, in
western Tennessee, some years ago,
was afforded an excellent opportunity
of observing the habits of mink which

near at hand. The pool was probably
100 feet wide and double that length,
hardly two feet deep in the center and
quite clear. 1t was full of small fish,
principally perch and jack, and the
mink undoubtedly found it very ac-
ceptabie larder. At all events 1 found
him there three evenings in succession,
and on each occasion he took hurriedly
to the water, dived beneath the surface.
and evinced a strong determination to
''stay there" The first evening of his
disappearance puzzled me somewhat,
for the bottom of the pond was every
where observable, and yet the closest
scrutiny failed to show his hiding
place. 1 stood for several minutes
awaiting his temperance, but eventu-
ally grew discouraged and turned
away. The next evening l was more
successful, and was able to follow the
little fellow with my eye as he shot,
and sought shelter beneath some sub
merged limbs that had previously
escaped my notice.-Sports Afield.

Reminded of the Aud Sod.

A Cleveland landlord has one of his houses
tenented by family that is out of all pro-
portion to the size of the dwelling. In fact,
he strongly suspects that there are at least
two distinct families in the house, and he is
quite anxious to get rid of them. He doesn't
want to turn them out, and he has been
hoping they would take frequent hints he
gives them and seek some other location.
Lately, they have complained of a leaky
roof, but the landlord has determined to
make no repairs until they leave.
A few days ago the head of the household
waited on him.
".Well, sor," he said, "that roof has been
leakin' agin."
HAS it," said the landlord.
"Yis, sor. 1t leaks right over me sister 3

the story. His mother had been married
to a musician who was destined to be-
come famous. Everybody had said so;
all predicted great fame for him. But
he died before the boy was born, and
the mother, determining that the great
ness which the father missed should
come TO the son, gave her whole soul to
the task of forming his nature after the
fashion of what the dead man had hoped
to be. She went crazy on the subject,
and the child was born in a madhouse.
He grew, receptively musical-inordi-
nately so-but he hadn't the slightest
trace of the creative power.
HE told me that my boys mouth
organ had driven all thought of his hos
pital GRAND out of his mind. and when
the sergeant came and interrupted his
devotions he wanted to kill him.
"Well, that's really what happened
later. The band was at practice one
night and Soulji, as usual, was listening.
Lieut.. Wheeler, coming along, called
the man to him, no one knows for what
purpose. He refused to hear his SUI
perior, and Wheeler walked over to him
and spoke to him again, rather sharply,
l imagine. Soulji turned on him and
beat him to death. When the guard
found him the officer had just strength
enough to name his murderer and died
"The man-hunt which was carried on
during all that night, the next day and
the following night was thing long to
be remembered. l might say that the
ordinary discipline and routine of the
garrison was abandoned for the time,
and all hands were out in the search.
The soldiers did not like Soulji on ac-
count of his mysterious and uncanny
ways, while Wheeler was beloved Off
GER. The utter lack of reason for the
murder was another infuriating thing.
So, very, very much like a mob the COM
mand spread over the country and into
the coke-built mountains and the old
volcanoes and water-holes and searched
for the missing man. 1t was all in vain,
however. The morning of the second
day came and we had to acknowledge
that he had got away across the line to
the south. So the chase was discon-
tinued and the command was set in
readiness for giving Wheeler soldiers
funeral. We sought out as favorable
spot as we could, sort of sentinel point
above a little, scalding thread of a
river, and there, where the only patch
of green in all the area we had trav-
ersed was to be found, we dug his
grave. The command marched down
from the post, a matter, should say,
of five miles. 1t was too long a distance
in that oven of country for the con-
tinued playing of the band, so the
colonel directed the leader to hold back
until we got to the top of the hill. He
did that, and as we drew near to the
place of the burial the massive notes
of Chopin's funeral march reverberated
and echoed from the rocks and heights.
l am not musician and cannot speak
technically of these things, but it was
marvellous occasion. The band seemed
to gather inspiration from the wild
surroundings and such music never
heard. Then, just when you were
feeling how great and vast the world

Hobson Meets His Mother.

ATLANTA, Ga, August Lieu
tenant Richmond Pearson Hobson,
who has been expected in Georgia
ever since his arrival in the United
States from Santiago, is with his
mother at Lithia Springs to-day.
The lieutenant reached Atlanta at
$40 o'clock this morning, aud for
several moments the naval hero was
busy man. He was kept shaking
hands until each individual had been
saluted.
Mr.. Hobson received the atten-
ton shown him with the GOODNESS
which marked his deed of daring on
the Merrimac. His manner was
cordial yet not forH ard, his bearing
modest, yet easy.
AT Estelle there was a call for
the distinguished traveller to come
to the platform, to which he respon-
ded.
When the train pulled up to the
station at Lithia Springs, where the
mother waited, a crowd of guests
from the Sweetwater Park Hotel had
gathered to join in the welcome.
The meeting between the mother
and son was a pathetic one. The
son kissed his mother, who threw
her arms around his neck and for
several moments rested her head on
his shoulder shedding tears of Joy.
The crowd stood aside in reverence
to such affection.
To say that Mrs. Hobson was
overjoyed to see her son would ex-
press it too mildly. She walked up
the lane from the depot to the no.
tel, leaning upon the arm of her boy,
her face was aglow with happiness.
These two led the way from the
railroad station and the hotel guests
followed two by two.
The hotel parlors were decorated
with the most beautiful flowers,
flags were draped over tie porticos
and the word "Welcome," made of
green leaves, was spread over the
door. A string band furnished
music.
The lieutenant will return to
Washington tomorrow.
