HOW sEARRooKE SAVED MONEY
Good Advice That Friend Wired
Singing Comedian.


A good joke was played on Mr.. Sea.
brooke. who is singing in "a Chinese
Honeymoon" A friend In New York
telegraphed Seabrooke as follows: BE
sure and play Solitaire Tuesday"
The comedian isn't horseman, but
he does not object to wagering his
weeks salary If he has reasonable
assurance that he can double it. So
he left word with the call boy to get
him out early that he might play
Solitaire" at the best odds. In the
course of the early morning Mr.. Sea-
brooke was called and he went blithe-
ly forth to find a bookmaker who
wished to be put out of the business.
From place to place he trudged, from
.tipster to tipster he went, inQuiring
the possibility of placing bet on Sol
ltaire. But none knew the horse, and
all denied that such an animal was
scheduled to take part in the days
races. So after considerable trudging
Mr.. Seabrooke returned to his hotel,
mystified. Finally he decided to tele-
graph his friend:
There amt no Solitaire" he wired,
humorously.
The reply read: "You don't know
the answer. told you to play soli-
taire to-day so you wouldn't go to the
races and lose your money"

A WOMAN IN KENTUCKY.
She Now Has More Legal Rights Than
Her Husband.


Through an opinion handed down In
a divorce suit by Judge Toney Oh
Louisville, Kentuckians, including the
legislators who adopted the measure,
realize the revolutionary force OF the
statute recently adopted. The COM
mon law is abolished.
It is true that under the enactment
the man and wife are still one, but II
is obvious that I. is the wife who is
the ruling authority. AS the judge ex-
presses it "the gray mare is the better
horse"
II she have an estate and he none
he is a mere pensioner on her bounty
and may be kicked off the premises,
On the other hand, If he have property
1t is mainly hers.
The Judge mentions wife OF wealth
who is sailing on the Mediterranean
In her yacht and whose Louisville
mansion Is In the care OF servants,
while the husband is in the county
almshouse.
Although the wife in every case IS
entirely Independent OF the nuspanu
in the control of her property, he is
responsible not only for her debts,
but also fer any fines which may be
imposed upon her and for damages
In any SANDER or other legal action
against her.
While the husband sis not entitled
to her personal property, nor to her
rents, nor her earnings, nor anything
which is hers, he is not even allowed
to give her a mild Blackstonian chas-
tisement to keep her in good humor,"
dolefully declares the judge, who is
obviously appalled, and mortified by
the situation.
For many years II has been only In
Kentucky and some other southern
states that the views of the Old Tes-
lament partriarchs and Of the early
church have continued to be vener-
ated. With the sweeping away Of the
common law In that section the hus-
band ceases to be anything more than
a source Of revenue, in a legal sense

CHAPTER VII.
The Wager Paid.

In Travis Meredith's apartments in
the hotel, Milton Lennox sat awaiting
his friends return.
Two hours before, note had
reached him telling him of Travis i'm
mediate departure for Europe, and re-
greet at not clasping his hand in a
goodbye pressure. A perplexed look
gathered in his eyes as he read 1t.
"Why did he not wait for me?p he
pondered. This is unlike the boy.
But what is this?" STOPPING and pick
ing up a piece of paper which had
floated unnoticed to the floor
Unfolding ii, a check for one thou
sand dollars, payable to his order,
stared him in the face
Il would give ten times this sum"
he murmured. "had I never made that
foolish bet, or led Travis into this
temptation. | knew he would be nit
hard, of course, but that she would
draw him on did not think. Can she
have heard OF his money? Fool that
have been to do this thing! But, sad
as is his errand, am glad the boy
mustleave. Two days out at sea he
will forget her, save that she has left
him a thousand poorer!" looking rue
fully at the check in his hand. But I
must see him and spend these last
hours with him If only to send a mes
sage to my little sweetheart BY jewel
she must be springing UP into young
woman now. Dear little Avice!
would love to see her again!"
But two long hours had dragged
YEARLY away since ne had thrown him
self YEARLY into an easy chair In hts
friends room to wait
Four times the little clock in the
mantei had chimed the hour and the
half hour, but no welcome step sound
ed In the corridor without.
"Can he be with herr" he thought
sBut no. She is Ill II Is impossible"
A quick football reused him from his
reyerie AS the door was flung open,
he started to his feet

An irish Heart.

Take innocence and candor and a love
for every right,
And mix them UP together with goodly
share OF fight
And add dash of psthos and Of SYM
pathy share,
And equal parts OF faith In God and
fervor in the prayer.
And charity's sweet emblem might be
tucked in there to show
That hope Is e'er Respondent In soft,
ecstatic glow.
Then label 1t with courage and sense
of wit and fun,
Nor be ashamed 20 claim 1t nor 70 stand

But simply pour in humor Of the brilliant,
wholesome kind.
And all the loved ingredients Of healthy,

And set II on a pedestal or onyx grand

And then cali all the people in to witness
