Chicago, ILL.,, March 26-Reports
are revived OF consolidation Of all
the telegraph companies in America,
with the addition that the telephone
organizations are to be included.
So far as the Western union is con-
cerned, or more particularly as the
president OF the Western union il con-
cerned, it may be accepted as proba
BILE. A year before Colonel Clowry
was elected to the chief office of the
Western union he was quite frank in
admitting that he believed there
should be a unification of the Postal
and Telegraph and the Western Union.
He had urged consolidation upon
George Gould for some time, but the
latter was restrained from making
overtures to Mackay by the attitude
Of the then president of the Western
Union. General Eckert. whose policy
1t was aggressively to fight the Postal.
The resignation of General Ecxert
and the appointment of Colonel Glow
~ has been accepted by those cogni-
cant of telegraph affairs as forerun-
ner to a merger. 1t is known that not
long before John W. Macksy's death
he had been won over to Colonel Glow
rvs idea, and it is supposed that his
son, Clarence, will not be adverse to
the scheme.

T6 e Wife and
Her USeFuIneSS

The wife is useful in many ways.
She cooks the meals in emergencies
and warns her husbands slippers by
the fire during the first year. She also
prepares mustard plasters for his chest,
IMMINENT for his throat, medicine for
his stomach, wears hats that he buys
for her and chides him when he reads
the paper at the breakfast table.
The wife has tantrums, nervous fits
and children. She receives company.
rubs them the right way and keeps
the husband in the background ut the
right time. First wives love their hus-
bands for what they will make in the
future and second wives for what they
have made in the past. They are fond
of shopping and can be seen at bargain
counters on any day, rain or shine.
They also like auctions. A wife who
once acquires the auction habit carries
it with her through life.
The wife is fond of weddings and
funerals, the weddings when they Oc-
cur in her own family and the funerals
when they occur in her husbands.
The wife is n social creature and
loves to entertain ministers. actors,
dukes, kings, tramps, book agents, doc
tors, and, in fact, every one but her
husbands relatives. AS a rule she has
keen sense of humor, and if there is
burglar in the house she enjoys moth
ing more than sending her husband
downstairs after him.
Wives are partial to clothes, wearing
them everywhere. except to the opera.
Generally speaking they buy their
clothes by round numbers and are sim
pie in their tastes, never wearing any
thing less than 500 or more than ST.
100000. In winter they wear furs, as
many as their husbands can afford
In summer wives usually leave their
husbands and migrate north. In win
ter they not infrequently go south.
Sometimes they fly across the water.
If obliged to stay at home during these
periods, they are generally irritable
and hard to get along with.
The wife is n useful creature at all
seasons. In the spring she hangs the
clothes on the line and looks over the
summer socks. In the summer she gets
out the spare banknotes and airs them
at hotel. In the fall she engages new
servants, sometimes keeping this up all
winter, and makes out complete itin-
erary of the theatrical season. In the
winter she fills the childrens stockings
and the bill file.-Tom Mason in New
York Herald.

The SPORTING WORLD
Royal Golfers.

The claim of golf to be described as
"royal and ancient game" is well main
tanned by the support given to it by the
present reigning house, says a London
newspaper Recently at GOpsall, where
the king and queen were the guests of
Earl Howe himself n good golfer and
frequently appearing in parliamentary
tournaments, their majesties visited the
golf course ON Lord Howe's estate.
Willie Park, Jr., had been engaged to
give a display of driving before the
royal party, and no easier or more
graceful swing can be seen among the
professionals than that of the former
Musselburgh professional. Afterward
the prime minister and Mrs. Sassoon
played n foursome against Lord Her
bert Vane Tempest and Lord Howe, the
last named couple winning.

The Jonqun Maid.

A little maid sat in jonquil tree,
Singing alone in low love tone,
And the wind swept by with wistful
moan,
For he longed to stay
With the maid all day,
But he knew,
AS he blew, -
1t was true
That the dew
Would never. never dry
If the wind should die;
So he hurried away where the rosebudD
grew,
And while to the land of the rose
went he,
Singing alone in low love tone,
The little maid sat in jonqail tree.
The wind swept back to the Jonquil' tree
At the close of day.
In the twilight gray.
But the sweet little maid had stolen
away,
And whittier she's flown
VIII never be known
Till the rose.
AS IL blows,
Shall disclose
All 1t knows
OF the maid 50 fair
With the sunset hair,
And the sad wind comes and signs and
goes
And dreams of the day when he, blew
so Free.
When singing alone in a low love tone.
