WIFE uNRULY ASSISTANT.
Husband Couldn't Handle Her, But He Secured Her Discharge
 from Service.

Filed among the correspondence of the lighthouse board, at Washington. are two brief epistles, the dates of which show that the first was written about six months before the second. They look precisely like an ordinary business correspondence, they were received in good faith by the board, and nol one. reading them casually, would suspect what tale of domestic woe hangs there by An inspector, making his usual rounds, discovered the facts, says Youths Companion.
 An Irishman named McFadden had charge of lighthouse near one of the lake ports. He was small, wiry per- son of about 90 pounds in weight. His wife more than made up anything that he lacked in size or muscle, for she was brawny, stalwart woman of 200 She was, moreover, the possessor of a vio- lent temper. and there were times when the timorous. undersized lighthouse keeper did not dare to call his soul his own.
 His duties at the lighthouse were somewhat arduous, so when Mrs. McFad- den happened to be in a pleasant frame of mind, she sometimes helped her rather inefficient partner with the lamps. She learned one day that her husband was entitled to an assistant of his own choosing, and she suggested that since she did the work, she, properly, was the person who should be appointed to draw the comfortable salary. MT. Me- Fadden, however, promptly objected, cox vim of hn vro toi o IA hNo vd would never give the position to woman.
 Just send in the application" she urged. land tell them you're wanting it for your relative, J. McFadden. Sure, they'll never know whether it's for John or for Jane, and I can do the work as we'll as any man.
 MT. McFadden reluctantly sent in the application. and in due time U. McFad- den" was regularly appointed first as-. sistant at the lighthouse. The pros pect of the salary brought joy to the as- sistant's heart, and all vert well for time.
 After awhile, however, Mrs McFad- den, always trying person to live with, became so independent on the strength of her separate income that poor Mo- Fadden found life with her entirely in- supportable Affairs reached a climax one day when the stalwart Jane laid her superior officer across her knee, and in the presence of visitors deliberately spanked him with the hair-brush
 McFadden, of course, was unable phys ically to retaliate, but mentally he proved fully equal to the occasion. Re tiring in the lighthouse tower, where he was safe from intrusion, he wrote the following letter:
 gro the Lighthouse Board-Gentle- men: respectfully request that my as- sistant, J. McFadden, be removed for dis obedience and insubordination. Faith fully yours, Patrick McFadden,' < As the lighthouse-keepe had been the judge of the fitness of his own assistant in the beginning. the board saw no req son why he should not now be proper judge of insubordination, so his request was granted.

The Dear Old War Songs.

How strong is their hold upon us- those old war songs of the sixties, and what part they take in our national life Other songs have swept the country, have been sung by millions of voices, played on uncounted pianos and ground out by untiring hand or gNns-then forgotten! Only the old songs which were sung around a thousand camp fires; which were chorused by trembling voices as dear ones marched away ito the front; !" which were chanted as long blue col umns swept into action, only these survive through the years. The least musical of us hum their soul inspir-

1ado after having dined pretty cozily somewhere or other. Vanbrugh was sit- ting at desk in his private room just off the main faro bank when Baldwin stepped in.
 Hello. Tom said Baldwin to Van- brugh. How are you feeling?'
 "'Still Mob hilly, replied Vanbrugh When are you going to transfer the deed of that piece of ground to me, anyway?'
 f Tom replied Baldwin, Pm getting tired of hearing you talk about that ground. Come out here and get behind the box and Lucky led the way into the main faro room. Vanbrugh, seeing that there was going to be something doing characteristically Baldwinesque, fol- lowed him with alacrity.
 "The dealer at one of the no-limit tables was just shuf1ing the cards for another boxful.
 Sit down there, Tom, and get busy said Baldwin to Vanbrugh, pointing to the dealers chair. Vanbrugh slid into it.
 "'If the ace loses. Tom, Baldwin said, without trace of excitement, to Van- brugh, the Mob hill ground is yours. If the ace wins the Market street block is mine How about that?'
 ''Vanbrugh nodded. He shuff1ed the cards, did the usual courtesy in faro bank of passing them over to Baldwin to cut-Lucky could cut 26 cards as we'll as any veteran faro-bank dealer-and slid the cards intS the box.
 With your permission, gentleman, said Vanbrugh to the other players around the table whose play had been in- terrupted. and they leaned back in their chairs to watch the outcome

 When Chicago. few years ago. cut the pay of firemen, policemen and teach CTS and threatened to close the schools for lack of funds, Miss Haley investi- gated the situation, foHlnd that the great public utility corporations were lodging their taxes, brought them into court, compelled them to pay $1,200,000 back taxes, and added permanently SIS, 100000 of corporation property to Chicago's tax roll.

HOW RADIUM MAY BE FOUND
Even Laymen May Ascertain the Presence of the Wonderful
 Element in Science.

The United States government is talk ing steps toward developing the radium- producing resources of the country. The chief of the geological survey announces that he would like specimens of radio active minerals, and for the guidance of those persons whe believe that they possess such specimens it says that the simplest means of detecting radio-actiy- ity in suspected substance is by the use of photographic plate-the more sensitive the better The plate should not be removed from it's inclosing black paper. The specimen to be tested should be laid upon this black paper in dark room and left there from two to fifteen hours, a small metal object having first been placed between the specimen and the black paper on the plate.
 Instead of the metal object few small nails may be arranged so as to form the initial of the owner and left on the paper-covered plate below the spe- cimen. After thus remaining in the dark kroom the plate should be developed in the usual manner. If the specimen tested has radioactive powers, pho- tograph of the metal object or of the nail-formed initial will be produced on the plate exactly as if the plate had been exposed to the suns rays. The test should be made, if possible, with from half a pound to pound of the material. LITTLE MAIDS AS EDITORS.
