The wager was accepted, and the
man with $4,000, taking one friend
with him, walked out to pawnshop.
He said to the clerk only this:
81 have received $4,000 in ten bills
They are mine and were come by hon

ger, to get a thousand-dollar bill
changed. Here are the ten bills. Look

to me, and he will tell you that I am

The pawnbroker looked at him keen
ly for second and then said:
II never took money as pledge, but
you are sober and seem all right and
you can have the $25. Give me the
thousand-dollar bill"
The pawnbroker examined the bill
carefully, says the New York Trib-
une, and then, to the astonishment of
the others, took another thousand-dol-
lar bill out of his safe and compared
them. Then, just as he would make
out a ticket for ring or a watch, he
issued a ticket for "thousand-dollar-

EDWARD c. COATE change In the rOr-
mer speculator's mode of living Is not
due to business reverses. He Is now
worth 100000, Is known as shreWd
investor, and several Of the more I'M
portant Industrial enterprises bear his
name on their directorate. Coate has
seen fit to abandon his pursuit or
wealth solely to aid the poor people OF
Buffalo's tenement-house district.
Several years ago, through the Off
ces Of a society organized by wealthy
people, for the purpose of relieving the
tenement-house conditions, he became
vitally interested in the solution Of the
social problem. Gradually his interest
In the work drew him away from his
business interests, and his friends were
not at all surprised one day when he
announced that hereafter he would de-
vote the greater part Of his time to
the relief of the poor persons in whom
he had interested himself.
Little by little he lost his identity in
the social circle in which he had NOV
ed; he was absent from the social gath
erings, and could no more be relied

thousand and one movements inaug-
urated by society. In fact he became
practically a recluse.
1t was while society was commenting
on the unusual and unexplainable
course he had taken that his mother,
practically his only relative, died. On
her deathbed, she gave her approval of
the life he has chosen. The sale Of the
Coate home followed her death closely
and Edward Coate severed all connec-
ton with the life in which he was rear
ed. Then he became a social recluse in
| fact.
Gathering only sufficient house fur
nishings as befitted the new home he
had chosen, he moved to the old Wood
building, in Scott street, where he has
lived ever since. This occurred two
years ago. And here Edward Coate,
son of a wealthy family and recipient
of all that society can give in the way
of advancement and refinement, choos-
es to spend his days. He hopes some
day to build home for these people
who fall under Dame Fortunes ban
a place where they may live and earn
their living by means best suited to
their ability.

HOW HUSBANDS ARE SPOILED.

Some Women Make Them Selfish and
Forget Consideration for Others.
Men can not be chivalrous and self
denying If women do not give them
the chance or cultivate those noble
qualities. Instead Of this some fondly
foolish wives encourage their husbands
in idleness and selfshness by not de-
manding and even insisting upon that
attention, consideration and help
which every woman, much more a
wife, may claim from a man, says the
Scotsman.
Sometimes it is woman's highest
pleasure" to bear all her husbands s
burdens. To secure this highest bur-
den she makes him weak inefficient
and childishly selfish. If she had TAX
en- proper stand and respected her.
self and her sex during the first year
of married life things would have been
very different. '"To be ever beloved
one must be ever agreeable" so it
is most foolish, as well as wrong, for
young woman, when married, to lay
aside those graces and accomplish
ments that won her her husband. 1t
is this sort Of thing that made Swift
say that "the reason why so few mar
riages are happy Is because young wo-
men spend their time in making nets,
not in making cages"
Think it, the husband gained, that all
is done;
The prize of happiness must still be
won.
And oft the careless find it to their
cost,
The lover in the husband may be lost.
Young wife-supposes you were to
come down late one morning and find
the coffee cold, what would you do?
Her husband-My dear. l should
make it warm for you.
OF course a husband ought not to
expect much when he is unpunctual at
meals, but still it is never safe for
wife to disregard the precept, Feed
the BRUTE"
The following remedy has been sug-
gested for a delicate wife: "For a
slight headache give her a dozen pairs
Of gloves; If it grows worse, a new
gown. In extreme cases new hat
has been known to produce instant re-
lief. For nervous debility, new horse
and carriage; for dullness. theater
ticket; extreme weakness, trip to
the sea; nervous irritability, invite the
lion of the season to dinner"
We do not advise a man to begin his
married life by administering drugs
in this way, for the domestic pharma-
copoeia would soon be exhausted, but
there is one thing he ought to do, and
that is to abstain from nagging (men
can nag as well as women), arousing
jealousy and every other action that
may even remotely injure the health
of his wife.
Who has not heard Of a bad-hus-
band headache, or one brought on by
the worrying and fault-fnding of q
selfish man? A man is always bound
to protect the health and happiness OF
his wife, but this is especially the
case during the first year of marriage
And the wife, on her part, ought. fol

sake, to think more Of her health than

MAN WITH THE 1000 BILL.

He Secured Smaller Money by an In
genious Scheme.
Of a man with a thousand-dollar bill
in his pocket and no smaller amount
of money a story has been written that
traced him through many experiences
and took him to the verge of starva-
ton. But, as matter Of fact, one
man who had nothing smaller than a
thousand-d dollar bill got through his
difficulty very easily in New York a
few nights ago.
Ten Of these coveted promissory
notes of the United States had been
paid to him in the afternoon. In the
pursuit of business and a modicum of
pleasure he had, after the receipt Of
his $4,000, spent the last dime he pos
sessed other than the big bills. He
was with some friends, any one Of
whom could and would have accommo-
dated him with sufficient money for
his needs, but a discussion arose about
what he would do if he were a stran-
ger in the city and had no money other
than that which was in his pocket.
II wouldn't care If l were dressed
as a beggar," he said. 81 can get all

SALES OF BOGUS BEETLES.

Hundreds of Collectors Duped by Max
ers of Fraudulent Specimens.
Many an English and American col
lector with more money and enthusi-
asm than knowledge of natural history
has in his cabinet specimens Of beetles
which are beyond anything that nature
ever attempted. They are the victims
Of a 'beetle-faking industry which
turns out annually thousands of the
fraudulent bugs and manages to sell
them In this country and elsewhere to
amateur naturalists at high prices, and
the dupes show proudly to their friends
as extremely rare insects, as indeed
they are, for they are like nothing else
In the animal kingdom. The manufac-
turer Of beetles does not confine him.

strange colorings, but he makes them
up from fragments Of other beetles In
the manner which strikes his fancy,
and this fancy is often very whimsical
indeed. Nature, especially in tho
tropics, produces beetles of strange
form, but never SO strange as those
which come out of the shop Of man.

Of specimens of beetles are attended

| These injured specimens are dismem-
bered and their various parts put to-
gether again at the fancy Of the faker.
He takes a beetles body, and from a
collection Of several parts of beetles be-
fore him, spread out on white paper,
he deftly afixes a head here, wing
there and leg or two where he thinks
they will look quaint. He works rapid
ly, using a clear liquid glue, the COM
position Of which is a secret Of the
trade, and which joins the various parts
Immediately so that they cannot easily
be pulled apart, and so closely that even
with magnifying glass it is difficult
to see where the joining is done. The
coloring and imitation markings are
done with small brushes and other i'm
p1ements designed especially for the
purpose and are made permanent by
plunging the built-up insect into bath
of some secret solution. When the work
is completed only an expert naturalist
can detect the fraud, and sometimes
even an expert is fooled at first and
thinks he has stumbled upon new

Eats Corn Off the Cob.

"I can bite an apple as we'll as !
could when a child, and I can eat corn
off the cob as we'll as any person alive, "
said lady sixty-eight years old and a
customer of Wise Brothers, the famous
dentists, of Portland, Oregon.
She had been fitted with full sets of
upper and lower teeth by Wise Broth
ers, and was perfectly astonished to
find that she is now as well supplied
with teeth that she can use as she was
when little girl. Wise Brothers have
revolutionized modern dental methods.
There is no more pain to be feared by
people who have their teeth attended
to, and the cost is very moderate.
They make great specially of crown
and bridge work, and even when it is
necessary to take out all of the old teeth
and put in full new sets, the result is
simply wonderful. The false teeth, OF
course, cannot be told from natural
ones, and the person using them can
do everything he, or she, could do
with natural teeth. The sets of teeth
are made to fit the gums so perfectly
that there is no slipping, and the

ROBIN TACKLES A HAWK.
Red Breasts Brave and Successfl
Fight to Save a Chicken.

Red Breast'sA Brave and Successful
Fight to Save a Chicken.
1t is well known that the hawk, no
matter how fierce and big he may be,
has no terror for the kingbird. It is
a common sight in the springtime,
when they are breeding, to see one of
these plucky little chaps mercilessly
following, pecking and driving away
great bird of prey dozen times its
size. A merchant who was camping
out on the Chelsea Mills learned that
the kingbird is not the only small bird
bold enough to attack and drive away
the robbers of the air.
The man was approaching a farm
yard one morning for his supply of
milk, when a commotion among the
poultry drew his attention to large
hen-hawk which was sailing away
with a good-sized chicken in its talons.
The poor old hen was doing its best
to prevent the raid. With much squall-
ing she ran along and tried to use
her clumsy wings in fight after the
thief.
Just as the hawk rose to the level of
the tree-tops a robin, which had eyi-
IDENTITY been taking measures to assist
the hen mother, sprang from q limb
right atop the hawk, with shrili cry
of rage. So fiercely did the game red
breast use its sturdy bill upon the
hawks back, at times even alighting
upon it to peck to better advantage,
that after a good deal Of maneuvering,
finding it impossible to escape this per
sistent foe, it dropped its prey and
turned upon the robin. But the brave
little bird was by no means fighting
for fghting's sake, and as soon as the
chicken had been restored to its mother
darted back to its tree and began a
song of rejoicing.
