SHE WILL FIND OUT.
fhis Woman's Curiosity Is Only Tenn
porariIy Suppressed.


He had been out pretty late. and he
knew it. Where he had been, who he
had been with and what he and the
other fellows had been doing are mat
tiers not germane to the story. Suffice
to say that when he opened the door
with his latchkey and made as quiet
an entry as possible he felt in his
guilty heart that the wife of his bosom
would ask him q whole lot of things
which he did not care to detail just at
that time. He was not mistaken. As
soon as his wife heard him enter the
chamber she knew ~instinctively that he
was trying to "hold out" on her and
she asked:
"Where have you been ?"
Now, it wasn't part of his plan to
tell her where he had been. The idea
was furthest from his mind, SO he tenn
ported.
"Now, see here, " said the husband,
''if you will let me go to sleep and
don't ask me any questions now or at
any other time about where / have
been, I will give you $50 in cash for
yourself.
This was a poser, and the dntiful
wife naturally started to reach for the
$50. But feminine curiosity was a lit
tie too strong, and she did not at once
acquiesce. The next morning, when she
arose, the first thing that caught her
eye was her husbands coat, with one
sleeve torn out by the roots and hang
ing by a thread.
"Why, Will, what is this?" she
asked.
THAT'S a loose sleeve. said her hus-
band.
well. how did it get looaea" che
persisted.
''See here" he said suddenly, edo
you want to lose that $50P If you do,
just keep asking questions about that.
If you want to get it. just let the mat
ter drop"
Being a wise woman, she let it drop,
but his friends are making bets that
she will first secure the $50 and then
find out some way how that sleeve got

A MIGHTY HARD PROBLEM.
fhe One of T~nventing a Bottle That
Can't Be RenIIed.

Can't BE RehIIed.
81 read a little interview not long
ago" said a New Orleans grocer,
with a man who purported to give
some particulars concerning the much
talked Of nonrefillable bottle problem.
He said. among other things, that there
was a standing reward Of $40, 900 for a
practical solution, and l had to smile
to note how a fable, once set adrift, is
continually vitalized by repetition. l
happen to know something about the
bottle question, and l can state posi-
lively and au~thoritatively that there
has never been a reward Of $40, 900 or
any other amount for such a device.
1.-THE impression probably originated
with a circular that was prepared years
ago by a convention of northern distill-
ers. 1t was designed for the informa-
ton of inventors and stated briefly and
clearly just what was essential to a
practical nonrefllable bottle-what the
working part should be made Of, what
tests it should be able to sustain, what
it should cost in quantity, and SO on. l
doubt whether there is now a copy Of
that circular in existence, but it I'M
q~uestionably gave rise to the story that
the whisky men of the country were
hot after a bottle that couldn't be re-
filed and had offered an enormous re-
ward for the same.
"The Lord only knows how many
lives have been wrecked by that yarn.
Next to perpetual motion it has been
the great asylum feeder of the mechan-
zeal world. The problem looks easy
enough on the surface and UPWARD of
80 patents have been taken out on diff
ferent devices, but none of them works
under all conditions. The favorite
scheme is a ball valve which would be
closed automatically by pressure from
above, but it is readily worked by a
wire or an air pump.
cat first the liquor men and makers
of proprietary remedies that were
largely counterfeited encouraged invest
ors in the line, but after repeated fail
ures they finally came to the conclusion
that the thing couldn't be done and
have given it up altogether. Neverthe-
less the cranks still persevere, and every
now and then one reads of a new bot
tie that works like a charm. But you
see them ON the shelves, and J
make bold to say you never will. -

He was Careful Of H,s voice

Brignoli, the famous tenor, was very
susceptible to fattery, and it is said
that once in New York, when the or
chestra vigorously applauded one of his
favorite songs, he was so touched that
he came down to the footlights and in
vited them all to a champagne supper
at the Everett House. The supper cost
him $500.
Brignoli was very careful of his voice
and was terribly afraid of drafts.
1t was once stated that during the
winter it always took him three-quar-
tiers of an hour to get from his room to
the street.
First. he would. on leaving his room,
pace the hall for ten minutes to get ac-
climated. He then descended to the
lobby, where the temperature was a lit
tie lower, and spent 90 minutes there.
He then ventured to the vestibule. from
which the door opened into the street.
He would parade the vestibule for is
minutes, occasionally opening the door
TO let in a little cold air. Being now
accustomed to a cool temperature, he
would button up his coat and sally
forth.-National Magazine.

definition a still later one, TO hirt,

Evans, "About Men" in The Ladies'

"The firt, like the gambler. feeds
upon the intoxication of his passions.
In a few years he becomes incapable of
steadfast, enduring love, that feeling
which in civilized man is separated
from the love of the barbarian by the
element of ideality, of spiritual sympa-
thy as distinct from merely the attrac-
ton of brute nature. The open minded,
open souled, manly nan is apt to ex-
press himself in abrupt praise of what
he likes, but the fiirt knows better than
to take the edge off of a compliment by
giving it publicity. The fiirt is invaria

code of honor he may abide by in other

Given a young man or woman whose
pride is wounded more deeply than his
or her love by a member of the opposite
sex. then, if there be a slight firtatious
tendency to begin with, it will be but
overnight before the weed has grown
to surprising proportions, choking out
conscience and kindness while it sup

through the small place where he was

Is baby ribbon too small to have a bow

When any part of the body isn't doing
the work that nature intended it to do, it
puts the whole system out of tune-out
of harmony. Sickness in one part of the
body is likely to run into all parts of the
body. When children stand a row of
bricks on end, they knock the whole row
down by upsetting one brick. That is ex-
actly what happens to the health when
the bowels fail to perform their proper
function. Constipation makes trouble all
along the line puts the liver out of
order, is bad for the kidneys-bad for the
stomach. It holds in the body poisonous
matter, and because it cannot go any
place else, it gets into the blood. The
blood carries it all over the system. That
makes sluggishness, lassitude, bad breath
and foul taste in the mouth, fills the stom-
ach with gas and causes windy belching,
stops digestion in the stomach, causes sour
stomach, heartburn and headache. You
can avoid all such trouble, for DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets cure constipation and its
attendant evils.
