"Because-because-" He STONED
quickly over her desk; her face was like
a peony and her brown eyes went down
before his.
do you like Dick better than you do
me?"
No" she whispered.
Then Bob, country lad that he was,
did a very courtly thing, although he was
trembling as much as she. He took her
hand in both Of his and kissed it. I'll
make a bargain with you; give Dick the
medal, n give me this-forever."
And it was her answer that made him
able to look on with a smile as she
pinned the medal on Dicks coat the last
father he wanted to take a course at one
of the ummer normals; and in the fall
he went away to college. Two years
went by. and then he came back with
his law license and-his wife.

the bride took her place in the Smith
pew the following Sunday. And every
body looked startled and then knowing,
as people will who like to appear wise.~5
We'll, Mrs. Smith, perhaps you can
now tell us why it was Bob made SO little

One of the German locomotives shown
at Paris is so singular in the salient feat
ure of it's design that had not the idea
been Indignantly repudiated by it's de-
signer one would have felt impelled to re-
gard it as a huge scientific practical joke.
1T is a four-coupled compound express en-
CINE, built by krauSs of Munich FOR the
Bavarian State railways. The astonishing
popularity of this engine is that it's two
pairs OF bogie wheels are placed so far
apart as to admit between them a third
pair of wheels three feet three and three
quarters inches in diameter, and that this
third pair is driven by a pair Of small
outside cylinders, the combination pro-
,ducing what is called an Auxiliary en-
gine-equivalent to the donkey on
board a steamer. Further, this pair of
mall auxiliary drivers can be raised
from the rails or pressed upon them as
desired by means of IA lever.
The object of this eccentric appliance
has proved a tough puzzle to most visit
tors. One. a British engineer of no mean
standing, hazarded the conjecture that
tn etiny auxiliary wheels and cylinders
We're to be used to move the locomotive
about the yard, so as to give the big
wheels and cylinders a rest. This sug-
gested to him a humorous comparison
with Sir Isaac Newton's absent minded
provision of a large aperture in the door
for his large dog to pass through and a
small aperture for the small dog. Natur-
ally the designer vas outraged at so dis
respectful a reference, and he promptly
explained that his real intention is to
have a locomotive which, in general, has
the qualities of a f~our-coupled engine,
but is able to increase, every time it is
needed, it's cylinder power as we'll as its
adhesive weight in the proportion of 8 to
2, so that It can exert temporarily a trac-
tive power corresponding to ~six-coupled

DUTIES OF CHINESE WIVES.

The Chinese "Decorum Ritual" teaches
that service rendered to a husband has
five aspects. Is
In the early morning the wife must
prepare for an audience at court-no
curl-paper nor deshabile is alllowed-and
show to her husband the reverence of a
subject to his monarch.
After washing her hands she must pre-
pare food and offer it to her husband with
the respect a son observes toward his
father.
If her lord act perversely, h must not
resent It, but behave to him as a n
to an elder brother; and if he errs she
must assist him to retrieve his error with
the love of friend for friend.
Only in the most retired hours should
the affection of a husband be mani
tested.
No Chinese will acknowledge to an
other than he is fond of his wife; in fact,
no one is allowed to speak to him of his
wife, but only Of his sons, of whom he is

There was something of a sensation
when she came to take charge of the
district school,. The first Sunday after
her installment eyes and whispered COM
ments ollowed her up the aisle as she
went with Squire Bailey to a seat; and
after service she was the one subject of
conversation.
You say she's IS? Well, she amt
spent her time growing; a pound of soap
after a weeks washing is as big as that"
THE children said she was so little her
feet did not touch the floor when she sat
in her chair on the rostrum; but I didn't
expect to see such a kid" said Mrs.
Moore. 'She doesn't even dress like a
teacher-look at those elbow sleeves and
yards and yards Of ribbon"
She'll never govern that school this
side of kingdom come" sighed Mrs.
Wade. Bob Smith and his crew win
scare the life out of her the first time
they get to cutting up. She'll have to re-
sign"
Yes, for it takes as much muscle as
book learning to teach in Red Elm," re-
piled Mrs. Moore. Il wonder what
Squire Bailey was thinking of to engage
a child like that. My Sally could do as
well, for she's ciphered up to 'miscel-
1aneous examples in the back of the
arithmetic, and everybody heard how
beautifully she spoke 'Curfew' at the
last concert But Others were silent
when memories Of that recitation were
evoked
The disapprobation. started that Sun
day, spared during the weeks that fol-
lowed, and everybody was prophesying a
Waterloo for the new teacher the first
time Bob Smith got out Of bed with the
wrong foot foremost" And meanwhile
Mamie Lewis sat on the school room
platform, with her little feet two inches
from the floor, and worked like a Trojan
and earned every cent of the scanty
salary the country districts allow their
over-worked teachers. She had come to
Red Elm with many misgivings, having
heard of the big boys who made life in
the school-room as exciting as a ghost
dance of the painted Indians. Especially
had she been warned about Bob Smith,
a lad of nearly 20, handsome, idle, reck-
less, and possessed of a legion of mis-
devils. His invalid mother

POLICY BILL USELESS.
TAMMANY FORCES NULLIFY IT'S VALUE
BY AMENDMENT.

Albany March % (SpeciaD.-The Senate
amended to-day the bill to prohibit policy play
ing so that the trainers of the measure say 1t
is rendered worthless. The amendment was
offered by Senator Grady. backed by the Tam
many members, Of whom he is the chieftain.
1t received the support of not only the entire
Democratic contingent, with the exception OF
Senator Wagner. but also OF ten Republicans.
When the bill was reported by the Codes
Committee 1t in amended form, so as to
provide that person knowingly having policy
slips in his possession should be subject to pun
ishment under the act The Senate in Commit
tee of the Whole voted to strike out the word
knowingly" making the bill effective.
day when the bill reached on the order
Of final passage Senator Grady moved to insert
the word knowingly" He said the amendment
had been suggested by Anthony Comstock
Senator Elsberg contended that the enactment
clause might as we'll be stricken out as the word
knowingly" as the amendment practically
killed the bill Senator Humphrey said that
despite the threats and the alleged use of money
he must stand by the amendment II was car
ried by vote of 80 to II.
Thirteen Senators who at first were opposed
to any such amendment changed their minds
after ten days of elaboration. They are Sena-
tors Ahearn Boyce, G. A. Davis. Foley. Graney.
La Roche. Martin. Mitchell, Norton, Parsons.
Plunl<itt, Rice and Sherwood.
Senator Grady attempted further to amend
the bill by providing that the Court may use
discretion In the punishment of those convicted.
but the amendment voted down by vote
of "a to "a.
An amendment, offered by Senator Brown, to
make the possession of policy slips prima facie
evidence Of criminal intent was also lost by the
same vote. The Democrats defeated the amend
ment by the aid of four Republicans. These
Senators Wilcox, Willis. G.. A. Davis and
Maby. Two Democrats voted with twenty two
Republicans in its support. They were Sena-
tors Donnelly and Featherson. Had Senator
Armstrong who insisted being excused from
the session, been present the amendment would
have been lost and the bill would have
passed in a form satisfactory to its trainers.
The measure then recommtted.

compelled him to digress from his subject sew
eral times. In the duel of words which ensued
the Wisconsin Senator had much the better OF
sion of sound and fury which signifed little or
nothing to persons who have become accustomed
to his manner.
In solidly opposing the conference report the
minority arrayed themselves against granting
any relief whatever to the needy and distressed
people Of Puerto Rico whose woes they had so
eloquently depicted in their speeches both in
for the bin earlier in the week when it carried
appropriation equal to the amount of duties
collected on importations into the United States
prior 20 January i, 1900, but they could not
persuade themselves TO expand their benevo-
lence to extent that would include the
amount Of duties collected since January l and
TO be hereafter collected until the law shall
have been changed.
As Senator Spooner clearly pointed out
that even the dullest person could understand it.

sition before the Senate. except that of broad

money for the relief OF individual distress by
furnishing to the destitute inhabitants seeds for
planting their crops and implements to Guilt
waite them, and in such other ways as might be
found necessary, and to that proposition neither
minority offered any valid or tangible objection
whatever.

ton of the Senate. reached the House later in
the afternoon. Chairman Cannon of the Appro-
priations Committee, asked that il be immedi
