MEN ARE so STUPID.
Statement Is Proved by MT. Will
 kins' Dinner Party.
Miserable Wretch of a Husband Mer- ated Rebuke ShOwered Upon
 Him by His Wife-A Story with a Moral.

Wilkins came home Wednesday night jubilant. Say" he announced, ''I met Graham to-day. He and his wife are in town for couple of days. ] asked them out to dinner tomorrow night-thought you'd be glad to see Mrs. Graham"
 Archibald Wilkins!" his wife ex- claimed, "don't you know that to- morrow is Thursday, and the maids day out? And I've never had the Gra- hams here to dinner before-and l want things particularly nice! Of all situationsl"
 Wilkins looked blank, but his mas cu1ine mind soon carelessly pushed aside as trivial the terrors of his wife. "Pshaw!" he said, comfortably. "You can cook. better than the girl, any, how. I'm awfu1ly sorry, though, to make you so much work. But say,' rather hesitatingly, ''while we're about it, why not have the Browns? They're such chums of the Grahams. Six wouldn't be any worse than four, would it?''
 Mrs. Wilkins withered him. "That's just like man. she said. "Of course it would. Think of the extra serving and dishes!"
 'All right said Wilkins, meelly. "I saw Brown, though, and mentioned that if the Grahams came we wanted them"
 Mrs. Wilkins rose, tragic figure. 'sYou need to be shut up under re- straint, Archibald" she said, sternly' sFor goodness sake, don't spring any more three-quarters invitations on me! Why didn't you ask the whole town and be done with it? Just keeI away from MT. Brown. They don't l need to know whether the Grahams come or not.'
 On the fatal Thursday Mrs. Wilkins abandoned her holiday fancy work | and valiantly started in after lunch con preparing for the Grahams. With

care she set her table for four, spent an hour sorting out silver and fenc- ing in each place with it, arranging doilies, cut glass and centerpieces. When she finished her back ached, but the table was dream. She was cheered by the roast--such a delicate piece of lamb and just right for four. Also she was copa6orted when.she fin ished hollowing out four rosy, shin ing apples and filling them with a de- licious salad with big nuts on top. With the foresight of general she planned every step and decided that, after all, it wouldn't be as bad as she had thought. At 5:so Wilkins came home.
 ''How fine your table looks!" said Wilkins. Say, met Mrs. Brown get ting on the car, and she asked me to explain her husbands jumbled re- marks concerning their coming to dinner tonight. She said she didn't quite understand. I told her that if they were to come I'd run around and tell her."
 Mrs. Wilkins dropped into kitchen chair and mechanically mopped her eyes, Her cheeks grew pinker and pinker. You're insane" she sobbed. "I haven't got enough dinner for the B-B-Browns! And the table is all 1 fixed! And if you don't go and tell | them to come ahead they'll think I'm 1 8 w-w-wretch not to second your in- vitation! But I can't have them! Archibald Wilkins, you got into this mess, and now you can just get out any way possible! I've enough to do getting dinner on the table! Please [ g-g-go away and don't bother me-"
 Wilkins went, abject, crestfallen, marveling on the intricacies of the feminine mind. Feverishly he enter 1 tained the Grahams. Just as his wife l had the dinner ready to serve and the soup on the table the bell rang. Then out into the kitchen burst the craven Wilkins and Mrs. Brown. My dear" gasped Mrs. Brown, T worried so that decided the best thing to do was to come over boldly and ask. Men are so stupid! And if you did expect l us it was just as bad for us not to l come, as to come when we weren't ex- pected! And you're to be honest, and send us home, if it's all a mis- takei"
 Mrs Wilkins swallowed hard. "Why, of course you're expected" she said. "Just go right in and see the Gra- hams. Dinner will be ready soon."
 It was 20 minutes later, says the Chicago Daily News, that Mrs. Wilkins summoned her guests to an enlarged table, soup like mush, an overdone roast and four salads for six people. And her smile, when it met the guilty eyes of Wilkins, was terrible.

engine struck him. As it did McKean' frantically caught hold of the. cow catcher. He held on for dear life. One of his arms hung limp. It was broken, but with the remaining hand he held fast to the rail of the pilot. In this manner McKean held on for 400 yards until the train was brought to full stop.
 Then, as the engineer and fireman jumped from the engine, expecting to see the mangled remains of a railroad victim, the boy swung himself from the pilot to the ground without their aid.
 There was a cut on his head and his arm was broken, but despite his ter rible experience he was able to walk. Tn company with his brother he came to this city.
 At the foot of Market street Mo Kean jumped into a street car and afterward walked several blocks to the hospital.

Struck by an Atlantic City express train going at speed of 60 miles an hour at Waterford, N. J., Edward T. Kean, 16 years old, escaped death. Crossing the track with his head down to resist the wind, which was blowing a gale at that place and which drowned the rumble of the train, young McKean was unaware of the ap- proach of the express until the pilot of the engine was hardly hundred yards away.
 With leap he attempted to clear the track. While he was in the air the

 Nathaniel Hawthorne's famous story of "The Scarlet Letter will be told in dramatic form at Polls this even- ing by what is said to be a we'll se- lected company of players under the direction of Lloyd Helgrave, a young southern actor of good reputation, who Is now making his first tour through this section of the country. The play must of necessity be of su- perior order of merit. as Hawthorne's s novel would admit of no other treat ment, and in this respect it will &e welcome change to such as prefer the serious and standard plays to others Of the lighter form. MT Melgrave will be associated with Donald Rob- ertson, Miss Anne Titus and others of reputation and standing. The play will be presented with the necessary accessories of correct costumes, prop critics, incidental music and numerous auxiliaries, not only to give full i'm portance to Hawthorne's beautiful story, but wherever possible to height en the dramatic effect. Prices are p 35, 50 and 75 cents.
