Spartan Courage and Fortitude ss Exem-
piined by the Head Of the Family.
When Mr. Bowser came home thu
other evening and found his wife lynn
on the lounge with bandage aroun'
her head, he was sorry for her, o
course-just as sorry as the average
husband. And, like the average hus-
band, he stood and glared at her for a
moment and then blurted out:
We'll, I've been looking for 1t every
day for a year past, and it's here at
last! Finally got yourself fiat down,
eh?" /.
It's nothing" she family replied
oh! 1t isn't? Nothing for a wife to
flop down and upset the whole house,
suppose! Well, I've been looking for
some sort Of racket, so I'm not sur
prised. Mrs. Bowser, it's wonder to
me that you or any other woman in
this town is out OF her coffin!"
Its only-only headache, dear"
Yes, only headache, but what do
headaches lead to? II you are not a
dead woman before Saturday night you
may consider yourself lucky. Didn't
warn you not to sit in draught-not
to wear thin shoes-not to eat too much
truck? Little good it does to talk to
a woman. She'd go her own way II she
knew that it must end in broken
neck. II men were as reckless as your
sex the country would go to the dogs. "
"One can't help feeling bad OCCASION
ally" she replied as she got up to wet
the bandage around her head.
"Oh, they can't, Ell? Mrs. Bowser,
look at me! When am ever ailing?
When do you hear me complain? New
err! And why is it? Because, Madame
| because l don't cram my stomach with
| watermelon, but.ermilk, gumdrops
custard pie, sweet cake, ginger ale, and
all that. Because l don't 60 around
with my feet sopping wet. Because

Because l exercise little common
sense in taking care Of myself"
II think I'll be better by morning,
she replied.
Il hope so, and hope this will be 9
lesson to you for the future. tell yor
that no woman can slosh around thu
way most Of you do and live out hal
her days. How many cocoanuts ant
green apples and bananas did you ca
to-day"
Don't be foolish, Mr.. Bowser!"
But forty-eight hours later the Ia
bles were turned. Mr. Bowser cam,
seufIing along home with his shoulder
bumped up and his face the color o
fsur, and It was plain to see that some
thing had happened.
Whats the matter?" asked Mrs
Bowser as soon as he stepped into tn
hall.

/ Sistersville. W. Va, October II. For
some time past there has been great
deal Of spurious coin in circulation in
this city, especially of the denomination
of nickels and dimes, and frequently
larger piece would be found. The
authorities have been making every eff
fort to get the people who have been
floating the bad stuff, but so far have
been unable to land any of them. This
morning, however, two men were ar
rested here and locked up, and it is be-
lieved that a solution of the matter
may be the result. This morning early
a stranger giving his name as H. w.
Byers went into the Brunswick Cafe,
ordered a drink, and rendered in pay
ment a dollar which on examination
proved to be a bad one. He immediate
ly took it back and gave a good piece
of money to pay for the drinks in
stead. Later when the men were ar
rested they were taken back to the
place where they said they had gotten
the bad stuff, the two dollars in their
possession, and the bartender had
given them two good ones instead.
They claimed they had been given the
money in change when buying some
whisky at a certain hotel. There is
every indication that they know some
thing about the matter and it may be
they will be held until the United
