"My dear, marriage has its humor-
GUS side," writes a cheerful young
matron who is visiting in New Eng
land. mot only that, but it is also
useful as means of discipline"
Il think you never knew-in fact,
for some years l took particular pains
that nobody should know-about what
happened the first time George and
came east together. 1t was practically
our wedding trip, because we hadn't
gone away anywhere just at first and
really hadn't had time yet to get
accustomed to Georges little ways.
Oh, it was nothing; only on the first
night we spent at the hotel in New
York he dreamed that the horses were
running away and that he'd got to
save my life, and so what did the dear
boy do but seize me bodily and throw
me out of bed! You know how strong
he is.

speak of it with perfect calm, but this
thing I'm going to tell you now hap
pened only six weeks ago. | wonder
il it's funny? See what you think.
"You remember, we came up here
to Portland from New York by water.
We thought it was going to be such a
nice little sea voyage, but it turned
out cold as Greenland, and then, just
as we got off Point Judith, there was
a fog that made it dangerous to move
in any direction; so there we lay for
eleven hours waiting for it to clear.
Waiting! That's a passive. restful
word. What we did was to stay there
and be churned.
"Talk about seas! Did you ever
know sea that came from all direc-
lions at once and bumped up in the
middle at the same time? Words
couldn't tell you! The boat was full
Of people who had crowded on for
short trip, without dreaming that
they would be out long enough to need

A south side citizen took great
interest in the clean street movement
his front lawn being so situated that
tho draft of the wind down the alley
covered it with all the waste paper
that happened to be lying around
loose-and there usually happened to
be plenty.
The householder in question knew
that most of the litter came from
the alley, but although he kept a
careful watch from his back windows
he could never fix the responsibility
on any of the neighbors; indeed, he
often found the alley far cleaner than
his lawn. But the waste paper still
came, and the citizen grew daily more
furious and his opinion of people who
threw out paper to blow whithersoever
the wind listed was expressed in some
of the most forcible and unvarnished
Anglo-SaXOn that the language affords.
Nor did his language exaggerate his
sentiments.
One morning the citizen went out
and found much about the usual thing,
only more of it, and. picking up a
dusty, sun-yellowed envelope, he
noted that it was addressed to a
prominent resident of an adjoining
avenue. There were other envelopes
and these were also without exception
addressed to the same person. A
battered shirt-waist box. half full of

Along Life's Way

Along life's way our hearts will feel
Sweet thrills of ecstasy,
When love seems filling all the soul
With calm serenity.
And life seems strewn with flowers sweet
To brighten every day,
Then how much happiness the soul
Will find along LIES way.
Sweet roses bloom and all around
The merry birds will sing
AS IL they to the hearts of all
Life's joyousness would bring.
All nature opens her full heart
For glory of mankind.
And teaches him In every way
TO all her beauties find.
Such beauty everywhere revealed
Is manifest to him
Who travels with soul opened eyes.
Which ne'er seem growing dim,
1ut see the beautiful without,
Within and everywhere,
And do not look for darker sides
OF life. which holds despair:

All! love will light life's pathway up
With radiance so bright,
And all the blessings of the world
Reveal with it's kind light;
TIL earth will seem like paradise,
So full of bliss twill be-
When all shall live by Gods blest laws
In sweet serenity.
But when the light of love goes, out,
What darkness will appear!
For then the reign of terror comes,
When men are ruled by fear:
And oh! what sorrows fill their hearts;
What wretchedness each day
Confronts the hearts which fear to tread
Along lifes dreary way. 4
All long for evil to depart
And love come back again
To glorify the Fathers world
And soften hearts of men.
Loves reign alone can satisfy
And fill the heart with peace
And may 1t ever rule supreme
To happiness increase.

these days? The average man is not
the intellectual equal of Miss Faw-
cett.
The real handicaps women suffer
are domestic. They have to keep the
home beautiful while their husbands
are striving after those triumphs
which may mean immortality. There
is one thing, at any rate, that the
progress of women has proved, and
that is that the larger the voice wo-
men have in affairs the higher are
the moral ideals entertained by the
community.-Boston Journal.

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 24.-At
1870 this afternoon the Postmaster
General placed in the hands of Pres
ident Roosevelt the report OF Fourth
Assistant General Bristow on the
recent postoffice investigations.
General Bristow's report is very
long. 1t contains 10000 words. This
would fill about eighty columns i'm
an ordinary newspaper, and in addi-
ton to this there are five hundred
exhibits all of which exhibits refer
red to are made part of the report,
and these contain about a million
words. No time has been fixed for
the publication of the report, but it
is the general belief here that it will
be given to the public just as soon
as practicable. President Roosevelt
will go over il very carefully, and
when he makes it public he will
doubtless supplement it with some
comments Of his own.

and collided later with the other
part of the train on a down grade.
One of the cars was loaded with dy-
Mantle and the force of the collision
caused it to explode. The engineer
of the train was thrown long dis
tance but strange to say was only
slightly stunned. Nearly every house
in Chester suffered damage. A wo-
man thrown from a bed is believed
to be the only person seriously in
jured by the explosion, although
houses half mile from the explo-
sion were wrecked and people a mile
away were thrown to the ground
The three detached cars and the rear
car of the main portion of the train
were burned.

Press is able to announce the ap-

British Ambassador to Madrid. as
the next ambassador to the United
States to succeed the late Sir Mich
ael Herbert The King will sign his
commission Monday.
A significant and important fea-
ture in the selection of Durand for
ambassador to the United States is
the fact that this is the first time
in history that the British govern
ment has sent an ambassador direct
ly to Washington. Heretofore Wash
ington has been looked upon as
post ranking at the very foot of the

twenty-five workmen societies, rep
resenting an aggregate membership
of five hundred thousand men. are
here for the congress which begins
tomorrow and which has for its
avowed object the consolidation of
the interests of workingmen who
are not socialists. The Kaiser's gov
ernment has somewhat over reach
ed itself in striving for the success
of the congress, as its activity in the
matter has served to increase the
suspicious of the masses against
workmen's unions supported by the
state.
