LESSON FOR A HUSBAND.
Wife's Successful Plan for Keeping Him
 Home in the Evenings.
A Milwaukee man, who has been

A Milwaukee man, who has been married but a short time, recently lapsed from his habit of spending his evenings at home and began to remain out with the friends of his bachelor days. At first he began missing his suppers and would come home with statements to the effect that he had been obliged to ''work little late. !" Later he stayed longer, and finally he remained away half the night.
 Now, this wife had every confi- dence in her husband, and, although she missed his company sorely, she did not complain, which is, to say the least, unusual. She was a philoso- pher. She met him when he camein with a merry smile and bided her time. As a matter of fact, the man was spending his evenings away from home at bowling and skat playing, and the wife knew it, and laid her plans.
 She figured that to rave over his neglect would but put him farther from her and she told her mother SO. She continued serene and at last even expressed surprise one evening when he asked her to attend the theater and showed some hesitancy at going. This looked queer, and the husband grew suspicious,
 The climax came last week. The wanderer returned home one evening at 12 o'clock. As he entered the flat he noticed a suspicious odor and his heart sank into his boots as he re- alized that it was tobacco smoke. The lights were out save the one in the hall He turned 1t up and en- tered the parlor, where he lit the gas, and sank into a chair. What did he see? On the mantelpiece was the stump of half-smoked cigar. On the hearth were ashes and several burned matches.
 He began to think along a new line and, as he thought, his wife silently entered, adorned with her usual cheery smile-no, it was little cheer fer than usual, and that is saying much. She pulled chair in front of his and said:
 'Have a good time?"
 "Oh, yes; good enough" he an- swered, with sorry attempt at non' chalance
 'So did l."
 "Who was here?"
 'Nobody"
 "Nobody?'
 "Nobody."
 ''That's funny"
 ''Then why don't you laugh?'
 Because you are deceiving me, and that Is a serious matter"
 'How unfair you arep' the wife replied ''Here you have been go- ing out night after night, and giving me all sorts of excuses, and 1 have never suspected you of any wrong"
 The husband said no more, but moped about the house three even- ings and refused to avail himself of his wife's kind offer to let him go out. He knows his wife has put up game on him, but is worried as to who smoked the cigar. There are but three who know-the wife, the wife's mother and the brother who smoked the cigar.
 The wife believes he is cured.

Like a Drowning Man.

"Five years ago disease the doctors called dyspepsia took such hold Of me that could scarcely go." writes Geo. $. Marsh, well-known attorney of Mo- coma, Tex.

MOVE OF IRISH LANDLORDS.
Members Of Parliamentary Party Are
Charged With Conspiracy.

Dublin, June 15.-At the instance of
Lord Defreyne writ has been issued
against a large number of the Irish
parliamentary party on the charge Of
conspiracy in connection with the
tenant troubles acn the Defreyne es-
tate, Roscommon county.
Among the defendants are John
Redmond, John Dillon, w. ]. O'Brien.
j. G. Swiftmicheal, Conroy O'Kelly and
the members of the standing commit
tee of the United Irish league, which
includes Michael Davitt and number
of the former members of parliament.
The Freeman's Journal is--also a de-
fendant. Lord Defreyne seeks an in
junction and damages.
Altogether 80 writs have been is
sued The action is really taken by
the Landlords association, and it is
the beginning Of a struggle of the or
ganized landlords against the United
Irish league, which it is feared will be
severe and far-reaching, as the land
lords have ample backing.
John Redmond, in an interview in
the house of commons last night,
frankly admitted that this was the
biggest move the landlords, with the
support icf Dublin castle, have yet un-
dertaken against the Irish national
movement. He said he regarded the
Defreyne action as evidence or recog-
milton of the fact that the attempt of
Mr.. Wyndham, chief secretary for
Ireland, to suppress the United Irish
league, but he had failed and that in
his mind there was no doubt that
Dublin castle was an active ally in
the prosecutions.
Mr.. Redmond, James O'Kelly, Pat
rick OBrien, John Hayden, Sir Thos.
Esmond, Patrick McHigh and some of
the best known priests in Ireland are
also among the defendants in the ac-
ton of Lord Defreyne.

of Philadelphia, the financial banker
of the Montana railroad, extending
from Helena to HarloWton, about 40
miles from this place, and ]. S. Datum,
a heavy stockholder in the company,
accompanied by R. A. Harlow, vice
president and Robert Rantoul, general
manager, have been in the city for a
few days, and make no secret Of the
fact that the object of their visit is to
determine the advisability of extend
ing the line from Harlowton to Lewis
town. They would not authorize any
public announcement of their conclu-
sion, but from all they said, there is
good reason to believe they will extend
the line in the very near future.
While here they talked to many
business men concerning the pros
poets of the company's securing free
right -of-way and terminal facilities.
They declared that the Northern Pa
cific is not in any way whatever in
control of the line or its management
and that it is an independent line.

HITCHCOCK STUDYING LAW
Department Of interior Anxious to Ad-
minister Provisions in the
Interest Of the West.

Washington, June 15.-Western
members OF congress are exceedingly
pleased at the prompt action of the
senate in concurring with the house
amendments to the national irriga-
ton bill. The measure was taken up
in the senate Immediately upon it's
receipt from the house and the amend
ments concurred in without dissent.
Senator Warren explained that sup
Elemental legislation might be neces-
sary to strengthen the point in refer
ence to the use Of waters of inter-
state streams, but that it was not nee
essary to delay the bill for this pur-
pose. Secretary Hitchcock said today
that he was much gratified at the
adoption of the irrigation legislation.
Until recently he had not given the
matter much thought, because legis-
lation of this nature seemed to be a
matter Of the distant future. He will
give the provisions of the bill very
careful study, and the best efforts Of
the department will be made to ad-
minister the law so that the west will
get the full benefit of the legislation
provided by the bill.
Chairman Maxwell of the National
Irrigation association says the west
ern members made the most success
full legislative fight in getting through
the irrigation bill in the history of
congressional legislation. The Ma.
tional Irrigation association approves
the measure, and has been working
effectively in cooperation with west.
ern members of congress for it's pass
age.

TOOK ANoTHER's NAME.
Thought 1t Would Helr Him in Sc.
curing Employment.

Butte June 15.-Albert Ginoola,
about 21 years of age, and claiming to
be recent arrival from st. Paul, is
being held at police headquarters un-
der suspicion. Yesterday the young
man went to the Office of Alderman
Bachelor and, representing that he was
an insurance solicitor, sought job.
Mr.. Bachelor talked with the young
man awhile and finally asked him if
he had any credentials. In reply the
young man drew from his pocket re-
ceipt showing that G. B. Nose was
a member in good standing of the
Woodmen of the World. The young
man then, in response to questions,
said that Nose was his name.
It SO happened the Mr.. Bachelor
knew Mr.. Nose and he asked the
young man to walk down stairs to be
identified. As soon as they reached
the street. satisfied that his caller was
fraud, or at least sailing under false
colors, Mr.. Bachelor turned him over
to a policeman.
At the police station the young man
broke down and acknowledged that
his name was not Nose. but Ginoola
He explained the possession of the
Woodmen receipt by saying that he
found it in the pocket of pair of
pants he had purchased from a Sec
ond-hand man. He had thought that
receipt might aid him in securing
job and it was for this reason he as
sumed the name of Nose.
Afterward Mr. Nose was seen and
he said that he had left the receipt in
the pocket of a pair of pants he had
left for sale at the place where Gil
noola said he bought them. Inquiry
at the place proved that Ginoola real
ly had purchased the trousers and
that they were in his possession law
fully.
The police, however, view his ac-
tions with suspicion and he will be
held fer time until his record can be
inquired into more thoroughly.
