not a-once--"
You got that seam most finished?"
demanded Mrs. Gregg, in tone of ex-
treme irritation. after you get it all
finished well go cut in the breakfast
room an get somethin' to eat. There's
a nice lunch all laid out on the table.
Well make some tea on the gas stove"
But it didn't last long" went on Mrs.
Medcalf, unmoved. In less'n two
weeks he had to run downtown just for
q minute"
"You like tea or coffee best, Mis- Med
cat? We can boil one as easy's the
other"
"Tea, An his minutes KEEP gettin'
longer and longer, an in less'n two
weeks more"
I've got my seam all done, Mis- Med
caf. Ca-ha-ca-ha-ha," coughed Mrs.
Gregg. There, I'm ketchin' cold"
''In two weeks more he was a-stayin'
out just as late as ever. An then il
seemed as if she just couldn't stay at
home alone evenin's-"
Mrs Gregg arose suddenly, scraping
her chrir back with rasping sound,
She went to the sideboard, ca-ha-ca-ha-
ha-ing noisily as she went. She came
back bearing a heavy solid silver cake
tray in both hands. "Heft that" she
said, sternly. Just heft it,"
Mrs. Medcalf hefted it.
"unh-hunh-solid." she said, briefly,
unimpressed $50 she took to comm
over to my house TO set little while,
with her white face and black dress,
loolsin' as sad"
She paused and bent sideways to pick
up her thimble, which had fallen. But
Mrs. Gregg did not speak. She set the
cake-tray in its place on the 5000 side
board. She brushed some imaginary
dust off the embroidered cover with her
hand. He, lying in the dark hall, OBJ
served her movements with that I'M
conscious interest in trivial things
which takes hold of one powerfully ir
great moments. She shook out the
folds Of her white apron, aud stood for
a second irresolute. Then she returned
slowly to her chair and sat down with
o look of utter defeat. Mrs. Medcalf
continued her story with irritating
complacence. Mrs. Gregg turned her
face entirely away, and leaning her
head against the back of the chair,
closed her eyes and sat motionless, as
if asleep. Mrs. Medcalf bad her in
nings, and she made the most of them.
especially on windy nights, when
doors ratified an latches lifted up, she
couldn't stay alone. So she used to
come over and set there till bedtime,
an then go home in the rain an dark
an 20 into that Lonesome house all
alone-an' him down town without
habit"
Mrs. Medealf had finished; she arose.
triumphant. She folded her work
neatly and leisurely and laid 1t on the
table. Then she pushed her needle into
it and laid her thimble en- top of it
balancing it so it would not roll off.
"He was a perfectly model husband"
she said then, initiating Mrs. Greggs
tone; "but I reckon she'll never be any
lonesomer up in that windy graveyard
than SIZE was here. Shall we go out
now an get somethin' 10 eat?"
She went slowly out Of the room.
Mrs. Gregg arose with her lips set to-
gether grimly, and followed.

Macaulay's Appalling Memory.

The later Henry Reeve, for many
years leader writer of the London
Times, was dining one night at house
where the other guests included Ma
caulay and Sydney Smith. Macaulay
was at that time laying society waste
with his waterspouts OF talk. At
length, dinner being over, Sydney
Smith. Reeve and a few others went
away by themselves and Immediately
got on the overpowering subject of Ma
caulay. He confounds coliloquy and
colloquy," said Reeve. HE is a book
in breeches," Smith declared. "The
very worst feature in Macaulay's char
acter is his appalling memory" said
Reeve. AYE, indeed" said Sydney
Smith; "why, he could repeat the
whole History of the Virtuous Blue
Coat Boy in three volumes, post Svo.,
without a slip" After a pause, as IL
of consideration, the witty divine add
cd: HE should take two tablespoon
fuls of the waters of Lethe every
morning to correct his retentive pow
ers!'

Limit BARRIERS Prices.

Though their party went to smash in
the last election, there are still some
populists in the Kansas senate. They
are urging a bill which fixes the maxi
mum prices that BARRIERS shall be AL
lowed to charge for shaves and hair
cuts. The bill is believed to reveal a
purpose among the populists to effect
a change in the personal Characters
tics by which they have long been rec
ognized. 1t is limited that the popu-
lists intend to amputate their whis
kers and now their hair at intervals
of not less than a week. whereas they
have heretofore been total strangers
in barber shops. When they begin to
take tonsorial treatment business in
the Kansas shops will be tremendous
and will likely result in blockades,
in which regular patrons will lose
much valuable time. The natural
thing to do under such circumstances
would be to raise prices, and, foresee-
ing this. the populist senators are Wig
orousIy urging their bill to legally reg
ulate them.

An application has been made by S.
L. Hutchins, John E. Patton and other
leading colored citizens of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, for charter for the Ma
tional American Colonization Associa-
ton, the object being 10 organize
branches in the southern states. The
association is formed with a view to
colonizing negroes in the west and Sc
curing from congress a concession to
allow the colonies so formed the right
of state government and representa-
.tiyes in congress, etc. The plan was
organized by S. l.. Hutchins, negro
lawyer, who has given the question of
What to do with the negro?" a great
deal of study. Hutchins was a circuit
reconstruction days, and it is said Of
him that he came nearer to giving sat
isfaction to the whites in his circuit
than any negro who ever held like
Office. Hutchins gives a reason for
his proposed colony that "the people
of the United States should be given
an opportunity to see whether the ne
gro is capable of governing and hold
ing office" The application for char
ter says that 'it is not fair to Judge
of the negro's ability to conduct pub
lie affairs, to judge him by the fail
ures he has made in Office in the
south. Given an opportunity when
they are altogether dependent upon
themselves, the negro will solve the
question speedily as to whether he is
worthy Of citizenship and to be an in
tegral part of the governing people"
Hutchins claims that a number of the
leading negroes of the south are in
sympathy with him in the movement.
At the dedication OF an immense
convention hall in Kansas City the
other afternoon, somebody uttered a
loud call for Pryor" one OF the SOLO
lists with the Sousa band, which had
been engaged for the occasion. The
crowd OF people present mistook the
enthusiasts call for an alarm of fire
and 1t was with great difficulty that
panic was prevented. AS our civiliza-
tion advances and things become sys-
tematized 1t will, no doubt. be neces-
sary even to suppress old and honor
able family names in the interests of
public safety.

The burdens Of taxation laid upon
liquor saloons are regarded with
equanimity by the average citizen. The
decision of the commissioner Of inter-
nal revenue requiring the payment Of
a special tax by proprietors of rum sa-
looms who may employ an orchestra
to attract customers will be accepted
as justifiable and exemplary. The per-
Torrance is held to be musical enter
tainment liable to taxation. A source
of misery may be protected by law, but
its maintenance ought to be discour-
aged in all legal ways.
