0, YEsl SHE EARNED HER MONEY.
But It Was in n Way That Made Her
Husband Grow Sardonic.

Young Mr.. Smithers. having eaten an
excellent dinner, sat down to smoke
good cigar while his wife ran upstairs
to make her toilet for the theater So
peaceful was his state of mind that he
did not even look accusingly at his
watch when, after the promised minute"
had developed into sixty, she entered
the room.
Seems to me that you are looking
very nice tonight, my dear" he re-
marked.
"That soup certainly was an inspira-
tion," she thought. What she said was:
"rm SO glad you think so, darling.
Of course ! care more for your admira-
ton than that of any one else. Besides,
the Skinners sit right behind us this
evening and this waist will give her q
bad headache before the second act is
over"
Mr.. Smithers looked anxious. $50
this Is q new waist, is itP Wasn't the
old one good enoughP"
"N-not quite, dear. Besides. learned
the money for this one myself"
"You haven't been economic, n again,
have you? You know when things are
charged at the meat market the money
is not really saved; the bill must be paid
the first of the month"

way, Freddy, you remember you gave
the money to buy Marie a wedding
present, because Mr., Tooker is busi-
ness friend of yours"
"You don't mean to say you took

like her immensely, though you are al
ways SO stiff with her, and mean to be
great friends with her, now that she Is
going to live SO near"
Mr. Smthers changed groan into a
cough.
20, know you don't like her." went
on his wife, "but do. 1t isn't her fault
if she could not get married sooner, and
"But you forgot to tell mo about the
new waist; I'm curious to know how you
earned the money"
20, yes. Freddy, did you really Like
the girl you used to be engaged to be.
fore you knew me?"
"1-ahem, that is-not 80 well as |
like you, my. love. Really, that waist is
most becoming"
as itP You never would tell me her
name."
"l-why bless you, never think Of
her now. Wouldn't you like new
diamond pin one of these daysp"
Indeed would. What a dear you
are! I'm SO glad I've been so econom-
ical.'
"But how did you earn"
20, after you left / got to thinking
what lot of money it was to spend on
wedding present when really needed
so many things. Then an idea struck
me. / remembered all those pretty
things l found in your big trunk after
we were married-the ones that horrid
girl sent back when she-when the en-.
gagement was broken. / wouldn't have
one of them myself. but it seemed pity
for them to lie there. SO went upstairs
and looked them all over. l selected
that lovely silver-backed mirror and
cleaned it up until it looked Just like
new; then l."
"Sold it to buy the waist-I see."
Nothing of the kind. I bought the
waist with the money you gave me. The
mirror sent to Marie with our best
wishes. Won't she be surprised, and
why, Freddy. are you illP"
"Not at all, my dear. You are quite
right. Marie will no doubt be much
surprised, For, you see, she herself. was
the gisl who returned those presents;
that is all. - Chicago Tribune.

SHOULD TAKE SOME ACTION
First Cavalry Are Waiting for an Invita-
ton to Visit This City
No. SIS
Four Handkerchlefss

No action has as yet been taken in
this city toward inviting the members
of the First Wisconsin Cavalry to
make this city the scene of their en-
campment in the latter part of next
month. Commander Hale and other
citizens of the city nave received
several letters from the mem bers of the
company and they are anxious to know
whether or not the city is intending to
take any action in the matter.
Kenosha is surely favorable to the
meeting of the old boys in the city, but
it seems that no one has as yet taken
any interest in the matter. The
council will meet this evening and
while they may be very busy they
should find some time to issue cordial
invitation to the flower of the Wiscou-
sin soldiers to meet once again at their
old camp grounds north of the city.
All that is asked of the city is that
they give the invitation and the
soldiers will do the rest.

MAY BE A SUICIDE.
Dress and Note, Left by Little Girl, are
Found on the Beach.

Two boys named BroadsOn and
Becker, playing along the beach of
Lake Michigan near the South street
breakwater this morning, found a
rumber of things which point to the
fact that some little girl has taken her
life by leaping into the lake. The find
was turned over to the chief of police
and an investigation of the bundle
disclosed the fact that it contained a
calico dress, which had belonged to a
girl about twelve or thirteen years of
age Pinned to the dress was a note
reading as follows: " My father and
mother abused me, and they kept me
working hard so l thought it best to
end my life now. Here is my dress
Good bye all"
The note was written with a pencil on
small piece of a paper bag such as are
used for wrapping up groceries. The po-
lice are of the opinion that the whole
thing is a joke, put up by some of the
asidents along Maiden Lane. The dress
does net appear to have been worn
recently, and it is thought that the
note was written and pinned to it and
the two left where it was found by the
boys.
As far as has been learned no one
is reported missing who could have
possibly been the owner of the dress.
The boys who found the little garment
declare that so far as they are con
cerned there is no joke in connection
with the find. The clothes have been
left at the police Office, and if any one
is interested they may be seen at that
place.

MILLIONS OF BEES.
Farmers Make a queer Find Out Near
Dexter's Corners.

The farmers out near Dexter's Cor
ners expect to be plentifully supplied
with honey during the coming winter,
for few days ago they made find of
a bee house near the Corners which is
one of the most curious finds ever made
in the county.
An old house was located on the
farm of a man named White, which
had been formerly used as tenement
house. A short time ago Mr.. White
went to the house Ind decided to make
some repairs in order to put it in con-
dition for habitation. As he neaTed
the house he heard the buZzing of bees
and an investigation revealed the fact
that the entire structure was perfect
mass of honey makers The first
swarm of the bees are reported to have
come to the house about two years ago
and since that time the number has
been steadily increasing. The house
is filled with them. Not only have
they taken up their homes between
the rafters, but every old box and
barrel left in the rooms by the erst
while tenants has been made home
for hive Of the insects. Bee fanciers
have visited the house since the find
was made and one of them made the
remark that he was of the opinion that
there we're several million of the bees
in the house.
All the space between the rafters is
filled up with stands of honey, and
several hundred pounds are stored
away in the house. All efforts to drive
them from their home has thus far
been in vain, and it seems that t.Say
will remain in possession as long as the
J house stands.
| An attempt has been made to take
honey from the house but none has
been secured. The bees are quick to
resent any intrusion on the part of the
owner of the horse, and il now seems
that they are in absolute control.

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. l gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for a ply
stefan and it was under his care for a
week. At this time the child had been
sick for about ten days5and was having
about twenty five operations OF the
bowels every twelve hours, and we
were convinced that unless it soon OBJ

FOUND A LOST BOY.
oficer Frank Kraft Sends a Wanderer
Back to His Home in Racine

Last evening officer Kraft while
patroling his beat near the Northwest
ern Railway station heard some one
sObbing in box car near the track.
The officers heart was touched and he
at once forced an entrance into the car
and found boy about II years of age
who stated that his name was Tom
Christensen and that he lived in Ra-
cine. The boy was in a bad plight
and told the officer that he had had
nothing to eat during the day. He said
that he had been asked to run away
from his Racine home by couple of
smooth men who drew for him bright
picture of life on the road. He had left
with the men, but when the party had
reached Mayfair they had locked him
In a car and abandoned him. The
police officer took the boy in charge
and telegraphed to Racine to see if the
story was true. The boy was sent
home on the midnight train and was
taken in charge by the Racine police.
