Fitting Retort of "Mad Poet" to an
UnRentlemanly Remark.
Many stories are told of Mcdonald
Clarke, known fifty years ago in New
York as the mad poet" which show
that he had vein Of great shrewd-
ness, such as Is often possessed by
people who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at a table
in a New York hotel quietly eating
his simple dinner when two young
men took their seats at the same table.
Mcdonald Clarke was a well-known
figure. and the young men at once
recognized him. though he did not
know them.
They were not gentlemen in the best
sense Of the word. and 1t occurred
to them that they might have some
sport with the poor poet Conse-
quently one Of them said in an I'M
necessarily clear tone:
Il have seen almost everything and
everybody In New York except Nc
Donald Clarke. have great ad-
mirations for his poems, and l would
give a great deal to see the man."
When he passed the mad poet
leaned forward and said with evident
qualifications:
"Sir, I am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see."
The young man stared at him with
much rudeness for moment. and
then drawing quarter from his
pocket, he laid 1t on the poets plate
saying. '"That's for the sight"
Clarke looked at the coin for an in.
slant, and then placing it in his pocket
he took out York shilling" 1917
cents. This he handed to the young
man. saying gravely, Children halt
price,"

OUR AMERICAN HUSBAND.
Some Observations as to His Alleged
Characteristics by Londoncr.

Some Observations a. to His Alleged
Characteristics by Londoncr.
An American young man does not.
as q rule, look forward to marriage
nor prepare for it by saving any con.
siderable portion of his ante-nuptial
income. When he marries 1t is usu-
ally on short notice and because he
has fallen very desperately in love
with some one and cannot find it in
his heart to wait until cold caution de
clares the venture advisable. Even
when an engagement is il long one
he usually Squanders so much on gifts
and entertainments for his tiancee that
there is only very moderate amount
to begin housekeeping ON. Thus be-
fore his marriage the young American
OF the middle class begins to give evil
dence of what is to be his chief ma
tiOnal characteristic as husband
his unfailing, unselfish and almost i'm
provident generosity.
The middle class husband in Amer
lea rarely interferes with the affairs
of the household. He hardly knows
the cost of staple articles of food. AS
a rule he does not make his wife a
regular allowance either for household
or personal expenses. but gives her
as much as he can spare freely, but
with lack of system that is not con-
ducive to the best outlay of their In
come.
The young American husband is also
very indulgent TO his wife's fondness
of fine clothes. He would far rather
have an extravagant wife than dow
dy one. and although he grumbles oc
casionally at a millinery bill, in real
ity he glories in the respondent ap
pearance Of his wife in her fine featll
ers. The American husband Is rare
who does not cOncede his wife's right
to expend a much larger sum with
her dressmaker than he does with his
tailor. Indeed, he often leaves his tail
or altogether and cheerfully repairs to
the ready-lnade clothing house in order
that his wife may have more money
for extravagant tinery.-LondOn Te.e-

SPANISH MISSIONS IN TEXAS.
Remarkable Ambition of Presumably
Unframed Builders.

Remarkable Ambition of Presumably
Unframed Builders.
There are in Texas the remains Of
five missions, located in and around
the old town of San Antonio de Bexar,
among the cities of our land, says Olaf
u. Cervin in the Architectural Record.
The names of these are: Del Alamo
Q7OO or 1909 1744; De la Conception
Q716). 1881; San Jose de Aguayo Q72O.
1925; San Juan de CapistranO Q731
y; San francisco de la Espado
Q710. 1871 The dates within the
brackets are of the founding.
Little, indeed, but the churches re-
main. These being of stone and well
built have pretty successfully with
stood time. wars and relic hunters.
They are remarkable for elaborate
carving and sculpture. few of the 9th
ers being comparable with them in this
respect. At San Juan there were once
five full figures and also small cherubs,
but vandalism has destroyed or re-
moved most Of them.
The ornamental carving. confined in
new Spain as in old to the doorways
and windows is in Spanish rocco Of
the most unrestrained type, but not
without elegance and charm. A bap-
tistery window from San Jose is fair
~ Overrun with convOlutions and in.
vOiutiOns.
The Alamo, San Jose and La Concep-
ciOn each had two low towers thanking
the entrance. Three of the six still
remain. A peal of bells once chimed
merrily in the upper story. The other
two missions had no bell towers, but
the front walls were carried up and
the bells hung in two stories Of arches.
This had been done long before In the
old Cathedral of st. Augustine. Fla.
Indeed. the practice of hanging bells in
arches is still older, recurring often
enough In Spain. and seen even in the
work of the Moors. rs in several fine
Moorish towns of ZaragOSsa
The architectural ambition of these
presumably unframed builders is re-
markable. There is the Conception
with a soaring dome browning the in
tersection of the cross. Strong but
tresses receive the thrust of the roof.
At San Jose. though the church itself
Is a simple oblong. there is an interest
ing little chapel alongside. with three
low domes roofing it.

In Society.

A woman in society is Obliged tc
keep late hours. She must attend re-
ceptions and balls. She seldom allows
herself quiet evening at home. Hei
whole time is taken up in keeping en-.
gagements or entertaining in her own
home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys.
temic catarrh. This has also been
called catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time
if they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact
that Peruna is the tonic for rur
down, depleted nervous system.

woMAHs WAY OF FINDING OUT.

"Women' ways are inscrutable and
they do great many things that seem
to be utterly without point to men,
but it has been my experience that
time shows they had pretty good
reason for the queer tricks they play
ed u.s. said F. A. Cobbs of Montreal,
Canada.
"For instance. he continued, my
wife has an angelic disposition. She
has always had that disposition. and
it was one of the many things that
attracted me to her. After we became
engaged, however, on several occa-
sions she did things which seemed to
me to be utterly inexcusable. I've
got something of temper, and |
would get pretty hot, but every time
the little trouble passed oH-she hav-
ing gained her point, however. This
sort of thing happened several times,
but we were finally married.
s'After the ceremony she never
gave any symptoms of inconsistency,
but was always as sweet and amiable
as she could be. One day l asked her
why she had done these things during
our engagement and if she had done
them merely to make me angry.
Certainly did, my dear, was her
surprising reply. I am a prudent
woman and merely wanted to make
sure / could manage you when you
were mad.
