Minister DiSciplineS His Wife.

The pariShionerS of one of the best
known clergymen in Philadelphia vouch
for the JruthfulneSS of this story. The
minister had frequently warned his wife
that she was too careless in the way she
carried her pocketbook and that some
day she would surely lose it. About a
year ago he stepped into one of the down
town trust companies and was surprised
to see his wife ahead of him at the win
dow. The end of her pocketbook was
protruding from her coat pocket. "Here's
my chrnce to teach her a lesson" said
the minister to himself, and he pushed
against his unsuspecting better half and
transferred the wallet to his own coat
pocket Then he left the bank. At dinner
that evening the minister began: "Where
have you been today, my dear?" "In the
house all day mending," replied his wife
"Well, you were down town for while
were you not?" said the husband. No,
was not" insisted his spouse, wondering
e'Why do you ask?" "What !" almost
shouted the minister "Isn't this your
pocketbook! Never had one like it;
where did it come from?" asked the
puzzled woman. "God have mercy on my
soul, I stole it," answered the preacher
Then he confessed the trick he had tried
to play on his wife. They examined the
contents of the wallet-seven new $40
bills. No name in it gave clew to the
owner. The minister went to the trust
company next day with the wallet. The
story he told was received with lifted eye
brows Two months later the bank offic-
ials returned the pocketbook to the minis.
ter, saying that no one had claimed it and
they would not keep it. He has given the
contents to charity.

A Rochester, N. Y, woman vouches
for the following story of an experience
Bishop Potter had in Connecticut: Some
time ago, the story goes, Bishop Potter
went On a visit to friends in Connecticut.
While there he was asked to preach in a
small church near Stonington. The main
support of the little parish was wealthy
widow, a devout church woman and a
friend of the Bishop. She invited the
prelate to dinner, adding that she would
consider it privilege to offer him shelter
over night. As the next train out of the
hamlet left at o'clock Monday morning,
the Bishop accepted her invitation. A
couple of hours after the Bishop had left
the house Mrs. H., who was woman of
somewhat impetuous nature, discovered
that hair brush and comb were missing
from the room occupied the previous night
by Bishop Potter. Hardly realizing what
she was doing, the woman hurriedly dis
patched the following note to the Bishop
of New York: Dear Bishop: Is it pos
sible hair brush and comb were put in
your grip by mistake?" The following
day Mrs II. received this reply by tele-
gram: Poor but honest. Look in the
upper drawer"

Poker Won.

After dinner one very disagreeable
night last week a certain Madison avenue
physician, looking from his office window
and seeing the rain beat against the glass,
decided that he would have a quiet, unin-
terrupted evening at home. He was soon
in his house coat, a novel in his hand,
and tobacco smoke was curling around
him. About 10 o'clock some one rang
the door bell.
"The doctor is wanted right away at
-,"' began the caller
"He can't 60, sir" answered the SER
want, quickly. "He left word that he was
not we'll and that unless it was case Of
life or death he would not venture out"
"Well, you tell him he must come over;
we need him to sit in poker game"
"Oh, you're Mr.. b, are you? Step in,
please, and I'll see."
A minute later the servant reappeared
with: "The doctor says he'll be right
over"

ton will not be reappointed United State
marshal of South Carolina. 1t is pro-

but the Republican leaders in the State
say he is not to have the Charleston post,

pension examiner, temporarily stationed
in Charleston. He has lived there long
enough to claim e;tizenshis1he owns some
property in tie State and his wife is the

name has been strongly urged upon the

in that matter for several weeks to come.
John G. Capers, Republican national COM
mitteeman of South Carolina, spent near
3 ly an hour with the President today, hav-
ing come to Washington upon the invi-

was not inclined to talk when he emerged
from the private room of Mr.. Roosevelt,
but your correspondent gathered enough
to know that as a national committeeman
he is still the official adviser of the Ad-
ministration in South Carolina The
President appreciates his responsibilities
as well as does Senator Hanna, and those
who know Mr.. Capers are aware of the
fact he is an untiring and aggressive force,
and he proposes to look after the Repub-
lican party and have Republicans ap-
pointed to office, with an entirely proper
and loyal regard for the McLaurin men,
who are bravely standing by 'the broad
national principles" proclaimed by the
junior Senator.
Mr.. Capers would not advise anyone of
the details of his conference with the
President, but it can be stated that if
Marshal Melton is not reappointed he will
be taken care of as q consul to Cuba, and
in that event simon-pure Republican re-
commended and appointed United States
