MRS. cLEVELAND's JOKE.

This is a true story, says Gertrude
Cobb in Lippinott's.
When Mrs. Grover Cleveland was
Miss frankie Folsom, the prettiest giS'
in Wells College. she had as teachs~-
in English composition Miss Myra
Reynolds, now a professor az the Uni

Miss Folsom handed In an essay one
day in which occurred the reprehensi-
BILE word pants
Miss Reynolds promptly crossed out
the offending term and wrote in the
margin.
Gents wear pants, gentlemen wear
pantaloons."
The correction was obviously absob-
ed by the fair pupil. A few years
later, when Miss Folsom, as Mrs.
Cleveland. had become the first lady
in the land. her former teacher re-

in your ken that may grow and grow

of passion and rage, turn the sunshine
of smiling looks and sweet caressing
words upon it's threatening menace and
see it fade unborn.
1t is not easy to be always patient,
my dear, tired woman. 1t is not easy
to smile and be sweet when you are
sorely wounded, is it? But because
somebody you love is inconsistent, for
getful of you, perhaps-perhaps I'M
kind and unjust-does it make matters
better for there to be two of you?
1t will not do, my dear; so decide
how that there shall be no remorse
in your grief, when you are bereft
and mourning. Happy, indeed, are
you when you can remember conces-
sions, sacrifices, and not cruel, lashing
words of anger and abuse.
Here are some most sensible rules
for you:
Don't anticipate trouble. If it comes
you have suffered it twice; if it never
comes the one time is unnecessary.
Don't imagine every dark cloud you
see holds a cyclone. There are many
storm clouds that bring only freshness
and cleanness. where there is one
bringing ruin and devastation

flected back on yourself. 1t does you
no good to make others suffer because
you are afflicted.
Don't put off enjoyment of what you
may possess until some future day.
Make the best of it; be happy to-day,
instead of waiting for tomorrow to
enjoy yourself.
Have faith in Cod in humanity and
in yourself. Don't lose your faith be-
cause you may have been deceived by
any one or two or ten people. They
constitute an infinitesimal part of the
great sympathetic majority of the
world.
Don't scold; it lowers your sense of
self-respect.
Don't nag; you make those around
you wish you were dead, or out Of their
hearing, anyway. And you can do so
much more by considerable care for
the comfort of others.
Cleanliness, purity, calmness of
spirit; faith in our fell-creatures; there
is nothing like this combination as a
preserver of youth in appearance and
enjoyment of life.

KIND WORDS
NEVER REGRETTED.

In looking back on the years of life
how many of us ever regret the kind
words, "the soft answer that turneth
away wrath?" And, on the other hand
says writer in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, how bitterly we repent Of
the harsh, cruel retort or accusation
that struck like a physical blow when
it came hot from our unthinking lips
You, dear worried home mother and
mistress, have, beyond doubt, felt the
sting of such retort and accusation.
And, maybe, you, too, have given back
word for word, making yours indeed
the worse, because Woman'S tongue
has a point keener than any poniard
ever welded by artisans skill.
You must-you think you must-re-
sent; you must not let yourself be
hectored, lectured on your shortcom
ings, which are, after all, you declare
to yourself, but human. With heat
and anger then you answer your best
beloved: all the while your lips are ut
tering angry words, and Indignation
fiushes your cheeks and fires your
eyes you are forgiving in your heart
and longing for the happy reconcilia-
ton so soon to follow. Have a care.
dear woman; day will come in your
life perhaps when you gaze with dis
traction upon that loved face and form
wishing, oh, wishing with all your
woman's heart, that you could recall
those hasty, cutting words and wither-
ing glances.
Then it will be that you think with
fearful JOY of all the loving. endearing.
cheering words you have spoken to
that dear dead of yours; and with
deep sorrow and deeper remorse of that
other thing you said that so wounded
and hurt. You forget what called IT
forth. Surely, nothing could have been
said to warrant your outbreak.
Well, my dear, now Is the time for
you to guard 80 well your unruly
tongue that no self-accusing spirit can
rise before you when you come 20
stand beside the casket containing all
that the world held dear for you.

CONCERNING ONE.

Had she any dover
When she came?
Yes; her face was like a flower,
And her soul was free from blame,
On her cheeks a roseleaf flame
Ever fluttered, when she spoke,
Then for me the morning broke.
Wore she any crown
When she died?
All the earth seemed sodden brown.
Though twas June; and children
cried
And placed flowers at her side;
And the paths that once she trod
Seemed the highways unto God.

DOGS FIRED AS TORPEDoEs.
Novel Experiment Made on sab
merged Holland Boat DisprOves
Old Naval Theory.

An important test was made with n
q the submarine torpedo boats a few
days ago, which sets at rest an idea that
1t would be impossible for the crew Of
the submarine to escape il anything
we're to happen to the boat while sub
merged.
1t was suggested that the men could
escape through the torpedo tube at the
bow Of the boat, but many naval officers
thought that this could not be accom-
plished without injury.
II was finally decided to have q test
In this line, and two large dogs were
secured as subjects Of the test.
The Holland boat Shark. attached TO
the torpedo station, was selected for
the test, and, under the command Of
Lieut. G. T. Nelson, went out in the
bay. After being submerged one Of
the dogs was placed in the torpedo
tube and a wooden wad placed behind
the animal and the whole expelled In
the same manner as would be q tor
pedo. Many thought that the force
OF the compressed air charge would kill
the animal, but it came to the surface
and swan around as II nothing had
happened.
The other dog was then experimental
on, and It likewise came to the surface
uninjured. Both animals we're picked
up and taken back to the station.
The result Of the test shows that in
case Of trouble with the boats under
water the crew could find an exit in
this manner and that the danger Of In
Jury would be very small.

Of a case Of mistaken identity which
took place In the Stratford hotel the

her arms around his neck and kissed
him twice.
'Oh, l was sure that you would be
here!" she exclaimed 81 she released
him from the embrace.

when Il consider that | did not even know

Il think that this is a pretty cool re-

I'D like to know what you would call
a warm reception If this is a cool one"
replied Lansing.
Il am serious. Is that what I am to
expect from you after all Of my trouble
In finding your" asked the woman.
Il didn't think that you had much
trouble finding me. You seemed to kiss
the first man you saw, said Lansing.
Didn't you intend to meet me here
as you agreed?" once more queried the
woman.
MOS certainly not" replied Lansing,
but he added, as he thought Of his reoep-
ton: Il am not sorry that ! met you"
Why did you wear the violets If you
didn't intend to meet met" she asked.
Lansing looked down to the lapel Of
his coat and then understood the mis-
take. The woman said her name was
Dorothy Simpson and that she was to
meet at the hotel a brother whom she
had not seen for ten years. He was to
wear a bouquet Of violets.
George Simpson, the missing brother
did not appear on the scene and Miss
Simpson left the hotel.

fernando DeSoto Money and An
selm j. McLaurin have lately been re-
elected United States Senators for the
terms beginning March 4, 1905, and
March 4, 1907, respectively, says the
Cincinnati ENQUIRER. Counting the
remnants Of their present terms, Mr..
Money has several years Of senatorial
life before him and Mr.. McLaurin nine
years. The Legislature Of Mississippi
meets only once In four years, and
these early elections are made neces-
sary BY the terms Of the statute Of the
United States, which provides as fol-
lOWss 1.-THE Legislature Of each State
which Il chosen next preceding the
expiration OF the time for which any
Senator was elected to represent such
state in Congress, shall, On the second
Tuesday after the meeting and Or
~ganizatiOn thereof, proceed to elect q
Senator In Congress- Doubtless
Messrs. Money and McLaurin would
have been secure In recollection had
the meeting Of the Legislature been
nearer the beginning Of their new
terms. They come from g section of
the country where it is the custom to
Keep stroug men ia high positions In
definitely. AS a general proposition,
though, IL would be better to have the
interim shorter between elections and
swearing ia. The voice Of the people
should find quicker fruition in legisla-
ton. In three years there is q good
deal OF chance for 3 revolution IN
sentiment. However instances Of this
sort are not common, and 1t was q
part Of the scheme Of the founders Of
the Government to maks the term Of
service long in the steadying Depart
ment Of their admirable machinery.
