An Optimistic Husband

AL OPA4AliioNlC IluSbdtlu-
My wife cannot cook,
Though she studies a book
OF recipes day after day;
But she's charming and fair,
And 1 really don't care
A snap for what others say.
Her pies are a sight.
Her bread isn't light,
She never can get it to rise;
And worse still she fares
When a roast she prepares,
But my praise illumines her eyes.
No fault do I find,
For she's loving and kind,
And when single life 1 forsook,
l sought in a wife
A companion for life,
And not a domestic or cook.

From the New York Tribune.
The irretrievable mistakes that we make
in our lives are so pathetic 1t would
have been just as easy as not, says the
New York Tribune, at certain times to

wrong, to turn east instead of west. Why
should we have taken the wrong path (?

WOMAN'S
WORLD.

The New York Press presents married
couples childrens hours as follows:
Il wonder why our own children don't
do any of the naughty and cussable
things we used to do OF know about when
we were little ourselves?" began the young
matron from next door when she and her
husband had crossed over the fire escape
10 the neighbors fiat rs it because they
haven't reached the right age yet or is it
because the atmosphere of Brooklyn is
less conducive to juvenile depravity than
the surroundings in our own country
homes? 1t was the children's hour-to
sleep, and the young married couples had
started in on the usual Sunday night in
terchange of stories and talk
Give them a few years yet," protested
the man from next door. Children
minds are just as full of queer quirks in
Brooklyn as they are anywhere else, or
ever were, for that matter. Now, you
know what a wise little person Robbie is.
He seems to know every time we scold
him that we're not half as serious as
we pretend 20 be. There's always a
twinkle in his eye, even when he's trying
to keep his face properly grave and SOL
emn, as though he appreciated to its full
est extent the enormity of his offense.
He seldom cries at such times. When he
does it always comes as a@urprise to me.
If l tell him he's bad boy he'll agree
promptly enough. One day 1 told him l
was ashamed of him, and he turned and
walked out of the room, crying bitterly I
never can tell when a scolding is going
to make any impression on him."
ITO use a slang expression, got a rise
out of Robbie in the most unexpected way
yesterday" said Robbie's mother. He had
been tormenting me to death with ques-
tons, and turned finally and said, sharp
"'Oh, you're Mr.. Curiosity. Curiosity
killed a cat. Did you know that?'
ITO my utter amazement Robbie began
TO sob violently. I never killed a cat he
cried. wouldn't do such an awful
thing
1T took me ten minutes to quiet him.
He said 1 had called him Curiosity, and
declared that Curiosity had killed at cat,
and he believed that amounted to a direct
charge of feline murder against him. Queer
how chllds mind works isn't it?"
1T was Care that killed a cat, my dear"
interrupted her husband, who is a stickler
for facts.
well, it was Curiosity that made your
son cry" retorted the wife, land that's
more than most of your seedlings do"
The stiekler for facts subsidized.
zone day I almost lost patience with
him. He was uneasy and restless and
cross, and I said:
My my! Some people are born cross,
and some people grow So
This had the desired effect, but not in
the way l had anticipated. Robbie's eyes
began to twinkle, and, with a roguish look,
he asked, sweetly:
Which kind are you, mamma?"

are not far away, their good work the past

western clubs with pennart aspirations.
Unless the western clubs take decided
brace-a thing that is very probable-the
eastern clubs will fight 1t out among them
selves to which one shall have the honor
of being the champion of 80. St. Louis,
Cincinnati and Chicago are almost certain
to brace up and play good ball, but whether
they will be able to get into the leaders

ton. The standing Of the Cincinnati club
Is to be deplored, as John T. Brush is really
lover of the national game and Is willing
to put forward his best efforts, in the way
of money and time, to land a winner in
the queen city. But everything has been
breaking badly for the western magnate so
far this season. his pitching staff turning
out poorly, when, on paper, it looks to be
the finest in the league. But matters are
bound to take brace with Buck Ewing
and his braves, and then the championship
race will be decidedly more interesting.
This week the two sections will play
among themselves, but next Sunday the
intersection battle reopens, and a different
story may perhaps be told at the conclu-
sion of the series.
