THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.
A Young Husband and His Typewrjteg
Surprised by the Bride.

surprised by the Bruce
Mr.. Arthur Tapes was showing MRS
Arthur Tapes The wonders of the
Stock Exchange at the close of bust
ness on the day following the end of
their wedding tour.
''Who are all those young ladies |
see on the street," asked Mrs. Tapes
s~They are typists from the hundreds
of offices around here" answered her
husband.
That was all that was said on that
phase of business life until Mr.. Tapes
and his bride were enjoying dinner in
their coy fiat.
4Have you a typist?" she asked.
"Yes," he answered, and again the
subject was dropped.
The next morning at a quarter past
10 o'clock Mrs. .rthur Tapes entered
the office of Mr. Arthur Tapes and ap-
preached the bald-headed clerk.
"Is Mr.. Tapes in?" she asked.
Eyes, mann. He is busy with his typ
list in the next room" he answered, as
he pointed with his left elbow to par
TALLY open door Shall call him?'
mo! I will wait, replied Mrs
Tapes, as she took a seat that gave the
best possible view of the open door.
It was a most provoking view, for ii
gave Mrs. Tapes only a glimpse of Mr.,
Tapes side elevation as he straight
ened in his chair from a frequent lean
ing position, apparently toward =
typist. Then the distance was such
that she could hear the sound of his
low voice without catching the words
In few minutes she moved her
chair nearer, which did not help her
view, but made the voice more distinct
Mr.. Tapes leaned so far forward that
he was entirely out of sight, and Mrs
Tapes showed agitation by rapioIy tap
ping the floor with her right foot. Then
she rose and approached the busy
smoOth-pated clerk
What is the name of Mr. Tapes

Hannah,
She returned to her chair and drew
lit little nearer the door as she sat
down. She saw her husband standing
and then disappear as he stepped be
hind the typist She heard him laugh
"a low laugh that she had delighted
in. Then she heard him speak with
some emphasis.
II have had my vacation" he said
'and now you must have yours. hope
you will have as fine time as we had
when we took our vacation together
last summer"
Mrs. Tapes sprang from her seat
thrust the door wide open and entered.
Mr. Tapes stood with both hands az
fectionately on his typist's shoulders.
and the two turned quickly toward her
as she entered.
F'Why, Mary, how you startled me,
he said. 81 didn't expect to see you
here. What a pleasant surprise! Al

Mr.. Hannah this is Mrs. Tapes. You

three in the band. The swamp and

seem to be the headquarters and
lurking place. They come out in
the fields near these swamps and
frighten the hands ut work away
by threats and menaces. AT night,
singly or together, they visit the
houses in the neighhorhood and
annoy the men and frighten the
women and children with all sorts
of pranks, such as throwing bricks
and pieces Of wood against the
h. uses, peeping in windows, beating
trees. etc. They have, it seems,
tried to break into one or two
houses. and have been disturbed in
the act of trying to steal turkeys,
etc. In these and various other
ways they have the neighborhood
in turmoil and feeling against
them is running high. 1t is not i'm

serious. Even petty annoyances

The story that the woman in the
Chinese case is making more trouble is
confirmed by dispatch from Minister
Conger saying that there is ground for
the belief that the Empress Dowager is
opposing the acceptance by China of
the demands of the Powers.
Ii Hung Chang is conveniently, or
inconveniently, ill. Prince Ching still
refrains from signing the agreement,
though the ministers say he is irrevoca-
bly, bound verbally, and they think he
will sign to-day. If the agreement is
signed by the plenipotentiarles and
repudiated by those who made the
plenipotentiaries the situation will be
decidedly interesting. 1t is evident
that the Chinese are still willy and un-
certain, but they will have to toe the
mark and the sooner they do it the
more they will save.

1t is refreshing to see the isthmiar
canal matter treated as it is by the SEN
ate committee. The committee declares
that the hearing and the reports make
unavoidable the conclusion that the Pan
anna company is still endeavoring to de-
feat the Nicaragua project. The report
says that each new development OF
facts and each apparent change -of dip
lomatic situations confirms the convic-
ton that we should go ahead. The
House bill is described as the just, safe,
true and honorable method Of providing
this necessary part of our physical,
commercial and political geography and
a maritime highway for all the nations
Of the world. No excuse, according to
the committee, remains for delaying
the action Of congress, either to crafty
the new Panama Canal company or to

lions over a measure that enters deeply
into our national financial policy and
that will shape the action of our gov

them.

THE OLD GRADS.

| Some Talk Back From One of Them
| The article on athletics in Schools
in your issue of November s, contains
these words: When we look back to
the thin-legged and short-sighted little
old men, who made our college boys of
forty years ago, with overtoppllng
brains, and no physical development
adequate to carry them through thor
ough life-work, etc. This statement
must excite the risible faculties of those
of us who graduated between 80 and
the SOS to absolutely helpless laughter.
/ graduated in the sos, and 60 per cent.
of my class still remain on the foot
stool The only help to read we had,
with one or two exceptions, were pom
pies" and so it was with all the classes
during my time. The Second Massa-
chusetts regiment was differed almost
entirely by Harvard graduates, and a
more stalwart set of men never wore
swordbets. Aside from those killed in
the war Governor Robinson, Phillips
Brooks, Furness, Ambassador Choate,
and scores of others could name have
pIoNtu pretty wen tUdI tlVy Coulu car
ry on an adequate life work"
But we did have athletics. Boating,
cricket, football, walking, running and
gymnasium work We're not unknown, but
were all INDUCED in at almost no ex-
pense for outlay in grounds, outfits, or
extraordinary costumes. We were not
hysterica1 over the results of our games
or races, nor did we have or care for
an amphitheater of thousands to cheer
us on. In fact we had all the exercise
necessary for health, and led simple
and inexpensive lives. I see by to-day's
paper that two rooms in Holworthy
(Which we considered the acme of lux
ury) cannot now obtain tenants be-
cause they are not cybaritic enough to
suit the present undergraduate ideas.
West Point, however, seems to get
along pretty well with the same STAN
dard of living that existed there when
Grant and Sherman and the heroes of
the war were preparing themselves for
their great task.
Nobody will deny that in this coun-
try at any rate, greater progress has
been made in the last fifty years, in
ma terial prosperity, literature, science
and art, than the world ever saw before
In twice that period. Certainly, the
graduates Of forty years ago have dozen
their share of the work necessary to
bring this about, and have proved

to successful issue all the great ques-
ions that the momentous crisis of the |
last five decades have raised.

graduates have got a big task before |

them il they can surpasS in ability and
staying power the men who graduated
forty to fifty years ago. The young men
of the past, entering professions and
business houses, worked from eight to
twelve hours day, and We're only too
glad to do it. The young graduates
of to-day, as 1t seems to me, keep up
their interest in their colleges simply
Through their craze for athletics, and
seek any excuse to drop their tasks for
day or two to go and see "a game"
or "a race" Not for moment do
decry athletics, but 1 do claim that the
physical development at colleges forty
years ago has proved ample enough to
render the graduates Of that period
adequate to carry on a thorough life

KELVIN A MATHEMATICIAN.

The Faith of Great Scientist in His
Own Figuring.
Lord Kelvin, otherwise Professor
William Thomson, is a world-famous
scientist with fellowships and member
ships galore in the learned societies of
| the civilized nations of the world. He
is but little less than eighty years
of age, but still retains the position,
that he has held for over two score
years, of professor of natural philoso-
ply in the University of Glasgow, the
institution where he himself was edu-
Gated. AS a professor he has some
| peculiarities, and one of them is the
habit of saying, when doubling ques-
ton is put to him as to the absolute
certainty of some proposition:
Didn't I figure that out MYSELF"
The question is not put irritably or
realistically as a rule; 1t is merely the
natural remark of a man who has been
an acknowledged leader of worldwide
| fame fir so many years.
| One day, when lecturing on electric
| ity, he told his class that, while volt
| age of three thousand or so would be
fatal to man, voltage of, say, some
three hundred thousand would be per-
fectly harmless.
With current of far more than or
binary voltage he was going to give
them practical Illustration of the fact
on himself right there before them.

ears, but as he stepped toward the cleo

loved University Of Glasgow. To
doubt on some minor point would not
have hurt him, but to think that they
could question the reliability of his

of such moment was really painful. For
a few moments he looked at them in
silence.

doing the chores they have time to

Some farmers have been thinking
about the ship subsidy scheme and they
| have sized it up in way that will not
please the authors and promoters of
the scheme. A memorial from the
State Oranges of California, Oregon,
Illinois, Washington, Missouri, Penn
sylvania and Virginia calls upon the
subsidy schemers to show why the ship
subsidy bill now before congress is not
the most vicious and most dangerous
political economic measure ever pre-
scented for national legislation. Under
the pretext of upbuilding the American
merchant marine, say the memorial
lists, there is to be created the posi-
bility of trust SO powerful in the
magnitude of unjust money grabbing
as to sink into insigniicance all other
attempts in the same direction, but
with this difference: While other trust
devices, designed for the purpose of
unjust toll, gather this toll from all the
people, the hidden purpose OF the ship
subsidy bill is to confine the robbery to

and drive away the free and unimpeded
competition of the worlds shipping,
and what will happen? Through this
subsidy device the shipping people will
be able to pocket ten, twenty or fifty
times more money than the $4,000, 900 a

Il COSTLY KISS.

The beautiful poem entitled There is
no harm in kissing has been long rec
ognized as having more poetry than
truth in it. There is harm in kissing
There are microbes in kissing, and they
are not infrequently the least of it's
dangers. What there may be in kissing
has just been made evident in Prescott,
Walla Walla county, washington. Miss
Ella Boone of that place was justifably
been kissed. She was so proud Of it
that she mentioned 1t in the presence of
Frank Sloan, who promptly decided
that she ought to have an experience
which many other women have had, and
have found endurable. So having blind
folded her he up and kissed her, think
ing that if it didn't quite suit her she
could stand it. But he made mistake.
When she realized that she could never
again truthfully say that she had not
been kissed she took her hat pin and
stabbed Sloan in the leg. The pin broke
off in his leg, blood poisoning resulted,
and Sloan Is now in the cold, cold
ground.
Perhaps Miss Boone can hereafter say
that she has never been kissed but once.
1t would take a bold man to follow
Sloan's example. and yet such is the
haps the next time Miss Boone has an
opportunity to be kissed she may well
come it, and forget all about what her
hat pin is for.

have Of pulling and bearing the
prices in the wheat pit, in the cotton
exchange, and in manipulating the
prices of hops, tobacco, meat products
and the other staples of agriculture.
These hundreds of millions will be
taken out of the pockets Of the Ameri-
can farmers.
There is more truth than poetry in
this protest. The farmers might still
further illumine the situation by ask
ing for subsidy themselves.
