averrcd that Mrs. Stryklin's was one OF
those cases where woman having
made matrimonial mistake should
not be rendered miserable in conse.
uuence through whole lifetime.
One day the colonel after an inter-
view with his inamorata looked de-
cidedly pleased. 1t was inferred that
the courts had decided favorably, and
there WAS now no impeachment to
marriage. Then he sent out invitations
for fete champetre, and every one
understood that the engagement would
be announced during the festivities.
On the evening of the fete the colonel

with Mrs. Strylslin. Seating themselves
on rustic bench they conversed in
low tones.

The colonel fumed. but the widow
held him in check till the first anger
passed. and when he realized how
handsomely he had been taken in lie
was quite delighted with the widows
performance. 1t was still some time
before he gave his consent to his neph-
ew's marriage, and when he did he de-
clared that there was but one widow

"A WIDOW #HATER

q Colonel Danvers Waterford, a wild
over, with no children, lived in one Of
the handsomest places on Edgewater
point with his sister, Mrs. Punter, and
her son Mark, the latter being heir ex-
pectant to the Waterford estates.
IN There was but one point Of disagree
ment in the Waterford family. The
colonel had set his heart on uniting his
estates with a former part of it which
had gone off into another branch of
the family by the marriage Of his
nephew, Mark Punter, with Lucy Wa
terford, the colonel's grandniece. Un-
fortunately Mark had fallen in love
with widow and could not be induced
No give her up.
~ "Only permit my mother to ask her
TO visit us, uncle" pleaded Mark. I'm
\ ssure you will fall in love with her your
8self.'
d "I'll have nothing to do with her."
8stormed the colonel. "A widow! They
aare designing creatures, every one Of
them. She is trying to get you for my
Kproperty.'
y "She is rich in her own right
"Silence! If you marry her, you
may rest assured that not dollar Of
mine will ever reach her through you"
u So the matter rested. One morning
sit was announced that the Villiers
place, nearly opposite the Waterfords,
had been let to Mr.. and Mrs. Stryklin
Mrs. Stryklin took possession. Mr..

VI Henrietta Stryklin made much OF
fEolonel Waterford, accepting invita-
@fions from him to the exclusion of all
'fogether, and when the lady chose to

Officer Of the civil war, was the only

Nothing was thought of Mrs. Stryklin'a

A hungry kitten was put into q cage
the door of which would fall oper
when loop of wire that hung in from,
OF the cage was pulled down an inch
The kitten tried to squeeze between
the bars, clawed and bit at them
thrust Its paws out between the bars
and clawed at various loose objects In
the cage. 1t clawed the loop several
times, but not with enough force to
pull it down. After 100 seconds Of such
activity, 1t happened to claw the loop
hard enough and so escaped.
After it had eaten the food outside.
1t was put into the box again. There
was repetition of the same activities.
but the successful movement came this
time after thirty seconds. On the next
trial, general activity for ninety sec
onds was required before the kitten es-
capped. With repeated trials the asso-
citation between the interior of the box
and the act of clawing at the loop be-
came fixed, SO that finally the kitten
would do 1t in few seconds-that is,
as soon as put into the box.

As a matter Of fact, there is little

There used to lie time when cer.aiL
committee rooms were the rendezvous
Tor poker players. and the games were
generally without limit.
Many senators and representatives
DO not object to little game now, but
they play in the evening and not at the
capitol. There were poker stories ga
lore around the capitol In the olden
days. One incident became a classic.
There was party in the room Of a
southern congressman, and the game
ran high. A western member opened
a jack pot, and the southerner, who
was upon his left, came in, together
with two other congressman. The west
erner stood pat, whereupon the south
erner discarded two cards. The bet
ting began and soon became so swift
that only the southerner and the west
erner remained Finally the latter
called his colleague, and the hands

when Scotland always had work for
her soldiers to do, all young men were
required to perfect themselves in arch

so serious rival did the game become
