SHE GOT III COAL.
Bride Who Used Her Wits at the
Right Time.

Once In a while-a great while, per-
haps--the youthful ~housekeeper xe-
cutes a coup in a domestic crisis which
puts older and more experienced mat
IONS to the blush. So it was with the
Bronx bride, one day this week. There
was mud and slush a-plenty along the
block of the alleged Queen Anne cot
tages. A mass meeting Of wives and
mothers revealed sorrow and indigna-
ton, but no plan of relief, no scheme
by which the unfeeling coal agent could
be induced to relent in his prediction
that he would be unable to get any
more coal for ten days. Reports from
contiguous nursery precincts indicated
to Group and sore throat"
The next evening at dusk eight weary
horses dragged four heavy loads of an
thracite through the street. The bride
stood on the stoop with teaf-dimmed
eyes and watched them pass. The driv-
er espied here.
Can you tell me, mum. where the
Blanks live hereabouts? I've hauled
this coal all the way from pier A, and
the horses are beat out. il l can't find
EN- before 1t sets clean in dark I'll
dump the stuff In the street."
The bride was down the steps and at
the heads of the leading team in a sec
ond. She inspected the eight horses
gravely and infinitely.
I'VE all belong to the s. p. G. A. In
this street." she announced to the driv-
err, land II you make these horses haul
that load any farther I'll have you ar
rested"

Castles Not suited to America.

Some of our millionaires, in build
ing their houses, are bothered no
doubt to find architectural styles
which suit them. One thing, however,
they ought never to do and that is to
build an imitation in whole or in part
of some European castle dating back
to the middle ages. Nothing could be
more absurd, In an architectural
sense, than the importation of the
castle style into America, for the cas-
tie was the special outgrowth of feu-
dial conditions of warfare and 1t has
no reason for existence today except
as it may survive to tell it's own his
tory in the lands that developed 1t.
But more than that. The introduc.
ton Of fake castles into America to

Hamilton sent for Father Beret ana had a long talk with him, but the old man looked so childishIy inoffensive in spirit and so collapsed physically that it seemed worse than foolishness to ac- cuse him of the exploit over which the entire garrison was wondering. Earns worth sat by during the interview. He looked the good priest curiously and critically over from head to foot, re- membering, but not mentioning, the most unclerical punch in the side re- ceived from that energetic right arm now lying so fiabbily across the old mans lap.
 When the talk ended and Father Be ret .humbly took his leave, Hamilton turned to Farnsworth and said:
