A Husbands New Goatee Gets Him
Into Trouble.

That the policemen in Lincoln Park
are doing their duty in preventing
ladies from being annoyed by the loaf
ers who infest every shady nook and
/ corner was clearly demonstrated by an
| incident which happened a few days
ago.
A real estate man who lives at the
Plaza was with his wife enjoying, ac-
cording to his custom. an hour before
dinner in the park, when he became
the victim of a joke which has given
his friends much amusement and caus-
ed his wife to say, Il told you So
1t seems that this gentleman, who
used to be a handsome, dapper man OF
immaculate appearance. has lately de-
termined to tamper with his good looks
by raising a hirsute growth on his
chin. In vain his wife impiored him to
shave, declaring she was ashamed to
be seen with him, SO close resem-
blance did he bear to a tough" She
even stated what to her own sex would
have been a convincing and effective
argument, viz: that he looked ten
years older. To no purpose The
goatee remained, growing daily more
hidious.
The evening was hot, and he wore a
negligee shirt, which was not con-
ducive to any improvement in his
looks. Throwing himself on the grass.
he rested his head on his elbow and
faced his wife, who was reading on
bench some dozen feet away. In
few minutes policeman sauntered
along. Noting the admiration on the
mans face as he silently gazed at his
wife, he halted.
"Come, now. get off there" he said,
with an imperious flourish of his club.
Thinking he had violated the command.
Keep off the grass the broker said
something to that effect and proceeded
to rise.

guardian of the peace. Il know your

The brokers' face assumed an inter
rogative expression.

Disarming the Cubans.

The manner of disarn1ins adopted by
the commission has all the elements Of
simplicity-a prOnouncedly necessary
factor in dealing with these people.
The soldier is brought into the COM
missions office. turns over his arms
to the armorers (Cubans) appointed by
the Alcalde, is identified by field Off
Ger of his regiment, touches the pen,
and then draws his pay. 1t is a very
simple plan, and has so far worked
very we'll.
The only opposition to the scheme
has been on the part of some of the
general officers of the Cuban army,
who, unlike Cincinnatus, have no desire
to return to the pillow. Having tasted
the fruits of military command, it is
hard for them to return to the prosaic
duties of civil life.
And the General? It was after the

It Does Not Come Ready Labeled,
Nor Often Come Uns0ught.

Mature does not give to the ordinary
mortal specific label of his calling, but
| implantS certain tendencies which are
not so positive as suggestive" is the
| position taken by Carrie E. Garrett in
| the "Woman's Home Companion"
Sometimes the latent force lies asleep
for years until something happens to
call it forth. And then, as rule, it is
merely a bent, a bias, which leads a
man on, step by step, gives him as
much encoura cement as he needs, but
does not in it's early stages assume the
form of a positive vocation. 1t seems
to be at first largely a matter of faith,
and thus the young disciple finds it
hard to explain to others the inward
urging WHICH he feels toward some par
ticular vocation; and perhaps he is OBJ
liged to bear some criticism for his re-
luctant attitude toward other perhaps
more lucrative, callingS. Even he him.
self will at times feel sense of impo-
tence and despair and have fears that
he is on a false trial. But again the
suggestion-the whispers of a mans
true vocation will be heard, and in spite
of himself he picks up the thread and
presses onward.
dren, not that which seems best or most
expedient for them to do, but that
which they can do best, we should not
have so many jaded, joyless workers.
Some unfortunate children are predes-
tined to perpetuate the firm just as if
they were bees or SilkWorms born to
the family calling. If Johns father is
an established bird fancier, John is ex-
pected to be birdfancier, too, though
he may secretly aspire to medicine or
cabinetm making. 1t is said that on the
death of Canova, the Italian sculptor,
an Englishman asked his brother if
he meant to carry on the business.
Then the old bugbear 'gentility' often
creeps in (even in democratic America)
and dooms to such polite callings as
school-teaching, bookkeeping, stenog-
raphy, and other pen-and-ink crafts,
many girls with cunning fingers and
quick eye for color who were divinely
appointed to be milliners.'

but the very name of Dreyfus has come
to be the rock upon which religious
creeds stand or fall. Among the Cath
olics, says Mr.. White, Ito question his
treachery is regarded as tantamo,lnt
to infidelity and disobedience to the
church. On the other side, the Jews
the intellectuals, and the Professionals
acclaim Dreyfus as a hero; almost as
a Messiah The INSCRIPTIONS atti-
tude and intense feeling of the anti-
Dreyfusites. is best shown by the utter
disregard for the truth shown in their
attacks on the woman who offered to
Madame Dreyfus the hospitality of her
house at Rennes. For such conduct the
writer suggests that there is but one
cure-"a Whit of grape-shot."
"Harper's Bazar," New York, for the
current week gives some excellent ideas
on the preservation of cut flowers.
Merely putting the stems into water
is apparently not sufficient, and with
little more care even the most perish
able blossoms may be preserved. "All
leaves should be removed from the
part of the flower stem that is TO lie
underneath the water" says the Ia
zar,'' otherwise these sodden leaves
decay and make the water offensive.
Every day the flowers must be care
fully lifted from the water, and the
eighth of an inch cut with sharp scis-
sors from the end of the stem. The
vase must then be emptied, washed cut,
and refilled with fresh water

You can't stay here and annoy this

'Well, guess she's my wife and she
has had to stand this kind of annoy
ance for a good many years" replied
the dealer in real estate, laughing, in
spite of himself.
The policeman's apologies were long
