GETS HIS MORNING MEAL,
Mr.. New I,wed Seeks to Save Trou'
BILE for His Spouse.
New York Times. /

John" said Mrs. Newlywed on Sun
day morning, 81 have bad headache,
and I'm afraid you will have to get up
and make your own breakfast"
Certainly, my love-" said Mr.. n.
will make your breakfast and bring it
up to you"
Gust cup of tea and bit of toast,
John, DEAR" murmured Mrs. n, turning
over and preparing to enjoy the unusual
luxury of an extra hour in bed.
Mr.. Newlywed dressed and went down
to the kitchen. In two minutes he was
back at the foot of the stairs.
"How do you dump the CRATE, lovey?"
he inquired.
Mrs. n. aroused herself sufficiently to
give directions and was just falling
asleep again when Mr.. Ms voice broke
the stiffness.
"There's no wood cut, sweetness" it
said. "And l can't find the hatchet."
The voice penetrated Mrs. Ms dreams
and she awoke with a start.
'Wood? Why, there's plenty in the
oven," she said, remembering in the
meantime that Mr.. N. had placed it
there himself the night before.
There was another pause, during
land of dreams, to be accosted at the
threshold by:
'Du-u-cky, darling, is it four table
spoonfuls of tea and two teaspoonfuls
of coffee?"
mo, no. she called. ''Four of coffee
and two of tea, and don't forget the egg
for the coffee and to warm the teapot.
And whatever you do, don't let the cat
in.''
Ten blissful minutes of sleep, broken,
however, by dreams of a thunderstorm
and Mont Pelee in eruption. Then an
awful smell of burning which penetrated
even to Sunderland.
''John!" she called frantically, sis the
house on fre?"
mo, my DEAR" responded Mr.. N.
cheerily. '1t's only a slice of bread 1
left to toast on the broiler while I
went to the chicken-hous Pm coming
right up with your breakfast now,
sweetness"
And in about two minutes Mr.. N. ar
rived with the breakfast tray.
Mrs n. looked at the tea and gave a
faint gasp.
"What did you put in it Johnnie?"
she asked.
"Only the egg you told me not to for
get" he said proudly. "Iet me put
some pillows behind you till you drink
it and eat your toast (which was about
the color of Johns hat and the texture
of his boots). And you'd better stay in
bed this morning and let me get dinner"
NO." said Mrs. n, heroically trying
to swallow some of the boiled tea
"Thank you for offering, dear, but I
think shall be better when I get down
stairs"
And this is what she found when she
got there
A leak in the kettle, which had boiled
dry.
One of her best china cups in three
rieces.
The frying pan in which John had
cooked his eggs standing with its sooty
bottom on one of her damask table
cloths.
The pound of tea which she had
bought the day before dumped in among
the two pounds of coffee in the coffee
box.
A burnt spot in the new linoleum
where cinder had fallen from the stove.
A silver spoon in the garbage pail.
A greasy spot where the cream had
been split on the dining room carpet.

members of the cabinet are satisfied
that the Cuban reciprocity treaty will
be ratified by the Cuban congress, as
it was ratified by the senate. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is particularly gratitied,
because the senate has demonstrated
what he regards as the good faith of
the United States in extending, so far
as it may, the relief of this country to

THE GREAT MERGER. SUIT.
1t Is Being Heard in st. Louis Before
a Bench OF Four United
States JUDGES.

St. Louis, March 2O-For the first
time in the history of the United States
courts, and by authority of special
act of congress passed last Febru-
airy, four United States circuit judges
are sitting together to hear arguments
in a case, the trial being the fight of
the government against the Northern
Securities company of New Jersey, in
the celebrated merger suit. Under
this special act the United States cir
cult court for the district of Minnesota
is holding it's session in St. Louis, in
the appellate courtroom, and by this
arrangement the case can go imme-
diately from this court to the supreme
court of the United States, whereas in
the general court proceedings it would
necessarily go through the circuit
court of appeals and delay of from
two to three years would probably en-
sue. The hearing of the case in St..
Louis is merely for the personal con-
venlence of those concerned.
The four judges by whom the mer-
ger case is being argued are United
O1Acu4I JuuBeS CALDWELL, San
born, Thayer and Vendeventer, Judge
Caldwell presiding. The attorneys for
the government are Assistant Attor-
neys General James M. Beck and Will
liam h. Day, and Special Counsel D. r.
Watson, of Pittsburg, United States
Attorney D. P. Dyer, of St.. Louis, as
slsting. For the Northern Securities
company are former Attorney General
John w. Griggs, former Judge George
Is. Young, of St. Paul, NJ D. Grover,
general attorney for the Great North
ern railroad, and C. w. Bum, general
attorney for the Northern Pacific.
St. Louis, March 20-Argument for
the Northern Securities company in
the merger case was resumed by
Judge George B. Young in the United
States circuit court for the district of
Minnesota, sitting here, at ten o'clock
Thursday morning. Attorney Young
took up the reasons why the Burling-
ton system was purchased by the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
systems. He stated he, would occupy
the entire forenoon session.
