WOMEN AND JOKES.
Some Reasons why the Fair Sex Do
Not Relish Masculine
JOcOsities.

From Cornhill.
That-species of humor sometimes de-
scribed as ''rollicking," which men COM
plain that women cannot see, is often more
or less in the nature of practical joke;
that is to say, 1t lies in the matter rather
than the manner. 1t appears, for instance,

also in humor of different kind. The
point. il wet must say so, is not unfre-
dignified position, II may be freely and
at once conceded that women are not
amused by bumor of this class. They
think it silly, undignified and often coarse;
cerned, the practical jokes that amuse a
boy are often enough not only coarse. but
cruel and 1t may very well be that
woman refrains from laughing at them,
dull in one direction as because they are
keen in another. To see human being
made a fool of is too painful to be anus
ing. Moreover, she often finds that the
cism against her own sex, supported rath-
er by observation. and. If she has any
spirit she naturally resents it.
1t Is a curious evidence of the strength
of custom, by the bye, this naivette with
which women are expected to join in Jokes

cause a woman does not laugh 1t does not
always follow that she does not see what

carking care that no gray hairs are caused
by anxiety, and, taking one consideration

one of neyer-ending bliss. You rarely hear
of a laundryman dying. He simply goes

One of the most distressing incidents
which has occurred in this city for months
took place last evening when the Missouri

at 6:l5 p. M, ran down two little deaf
mutes, and 6 years old, the daughters of
Dillen Schneider. in the East bottoms, in
stantly killing the older. By some trick
of fate one of the children stepped from
the track, unheeding and unconscious of
the approaching train, and escaped death,
only to turn and see her elder sister man.

1t was not unusual for the children to
go unattended about the tracks in the
neighborhood of the brewery. Trainmen
in the yards knew of their affliction and
were fearful lest such an accident as oc-
CURED yesterday should take place and
for that reason they frequently warned
them by signs not to get on the roadbed
and to keep away from the tracks while
playing in the yards.
The Schneider family lives about block
from the scene of the accident, in the rear
of the brewery, and there are many chill

ELECTRICITY in THE VATICAN
The Machinery for Lighting Was

W. e. Curtis in the Chicago Record.
1t is interesting to know that the Vatican
has just been fitted up with an electric
lighting plant from the United States, and
its magnificent corridors and imposing
apartments can hereafter be seen illumi-
mated in q modern manner. Until now there
has been no way of lighting the Vatican
except by candles. Gas has never been in
troduced into the venerable structure.
There has always been prejudice against

electric lights. but the pope Is progressive
and believes in modern improvements. The
dynamos and other apparatus were ordered
in the United States last summer and de-
livered at the Vatican in September. Since
then a number of electricians have been
engaged in setting up the plant and wiring
the different rooms. 1t Is needless to say
that the work has been conducted with
the greatest care and skill by. superior
workmen, many Of whom have been sent
from France.
The power is furnished by the waterfall
of the Aqua Poala within the Vatican
grounds. The water is brought to Rome
by an aqueduct; the fall is forty-six feet
and the flow Is sixteen gallons second.

BROKEN DEATHBED PROMISE NEAR
LY CAUSES A SUICIDE.
"A GIRL WIFE TAKES POISON
PATHETIC TRAGEDY IN THE HOME
OF EDWARD BROWN.
Loved Her Husband, but Could Not
Abandon Her Helpless Little
Brother and Sisters Left to
Her Care by Dying
Mother.

A broken promise, made by her husband
to her dying mother, caused Mrs. Jessie
Brown to attempt suicide yesterday at her
little cottage home near the Chicago &
Alton depot, in independence.
Mrs Brown is the 17-year-old wife of
Edward Brown. They were married No
vember a. last, just seven days after the
death of Mrs Williams, the BRIDES mother.
When the latter lay on her deathbed she
said she could die peacefully but for the
thought that her three little children would
| have no protector. 1t was then she learned
that her daughter was engaged to Ed
Brown, a sturdy workman. She called her
daughter to her bedside and, with her pros
pective husband standing there, she made
the lovers promise that they would take
care of the three little ones soon to be left
| behind. The promise was made and seven
| days after Mrs. Williams was buried Jessie
Williams ard Edward Brown were mar
ried.
Happiness reigned in the little home for
a time, but soon the husband demurred to
| the burden of taking care of the little
| brother and sisters Of his girl wife. They
quarreled. The husband wanted the little
ones placed in an orphans home. The girl
wife reminded her husband of the promise
made to her mother.
note On the dresser of her bedroom. 1t
was signed by her husband and stated that
She would not see him again within ten
| years. 1t was a great shock to the young
woman. for she knew why her husband had
left her.
She loved her husband and it seemed to
her that life would not be worth living
| without him An impulse seized her to
leave everything and go in search of him.
But no. There were her helpless little
brother, and sisters. Since their mothers
death they had known no mother but her.
She loved them. too. as tenderly as though
| they were children Of her own, and the
promise to her dying mother rang in her
ears and she stayed at home. But a still
more dreadful thought-that of the children
hungry with nothing to feed them-came
upon her. In desperation she seized box
of strychnlne and took large dose, throw
ing herself upon the bed. to die.
A neighbor heard her groaning and found
her half unconscious clasping in her hands
the pictures of her little brother and sis-
ters and that of her husband.
! A physician was Immediately summoned.
After hours of work he reported her out of
danger. The husband was summoned and
reluctantly went to his little home. where
the greeting to his young wife was warm
and affectionate. The neighbors say there
will be reconciliation and that the chill
dren will be allowed TO stay at the only
home they have known since the death OF
their mother.
