When a man says thai the motives

that she has wounded his pride by
showing too plainly that she under

her to act differently from What is
expected of the average woman in

man as incomprehensible. 1t is his
nasty pride which is at fault all the

The Wit Of Woman.

Women are the inheritors OF the old
est, most universal human wisdom.
They have more sense than men. for
the simple reason that a man has to
be a specialist, and a specialist has to
be a fanatic. The normal man all over
the world is a hunter or a fisher. n .
banker, or some silly thing. II SO, he
has to be a wise hunter, or a wise
banker. But nobody with the small.
est knowledge of professional kfe
would ever expect him to be q wise
man. But his wife has to be q wise
woman. She has to have an Eye on
everything.-G. X. Chesterton, n the
London Daily News.

smoke Of common life

The smoke of common life
Hangs dark and thick and drear, s.
IT'S pail shuts out the brighter scene.
Which ought to seem so clear.
Even the blue of God
Is lost to my poor ken,
And yet at night when work Is hushed
The stars shine down on men.
I take my STAN and go
Past swamp and smoke and dust
Up the steep path to yonder height,
To find my peace and trust.
Far up above the fog.
Above the mist and care,
I find the sky I thought was lost,
see the vision fair.
Somewhere Is light and cheer,
Though darkness fold me round:
so let me- walk In peaceful trust
TIL Joy again abound.

"WatermiiIions."
While Jay Gould was superintend-
ing the building of the old Rutland &
Washington railroad, between Rut.
lard, Vt, and Eagle Bridge, N. Y, in
the late summer of 1852, it became
necessary to cross a large farm in the
town of Castleton, belonging to Mrs.
Ann Dineen, SO a strip OF her property
was obtained. A fine patch of water
melons on the place IA too strong a
temptation for the n hundred or
more men In the construction gang,
and In a day Or two the patch was
melOnlesS.
Mrs. Dineen complained to Gould,
but he disclaimed any responsibility
for the acts of the workmen and re-
fused to recompense her for her loss.
A day or two later Mr.. Gould and
n or two Of his engineers were OBJ
tanning relief from the effects of the
hot weather by taking a swim in the
Castleton river, when suddenly Mrs.
Dineed appeared on the bank. Gath
ering up all the clothes of the bathers,
the m made a motion as though
to throw them into the water and
shouted:
Will yez pay me for thin water
millions now, Mr.. Gould?"
The promoters trousers contained a
%timepiece worth a large sum and 9TH
er valuables which immersion would
not have benefited, SO he agreed to set
tie for the stolen fruit If she would go
to his Office the next day. The promise
was satisfactory, and Mrs. Dineen re-
treated in triumph.

STRANGE DISH ON MENU.
Young Woman Who C~hristened It IL
Under Grave Suspicion.

A very earnest young Englishman
is Prof. Francis III. Tabor, %superin-
tendent of The Boys Club of Tenth

and the fact that he has redeemed
whole regiments of East Side boys
do rot wholly detract from the grave
impression made by his manners and
presence, nor fail to strike awe to
the hearts of society.
Prof. Tabor, who is a Cambridge
man, was recently asked to dine at
the home of a friend to meet a son
just returning from student work at
the famous English university. The
daughter of the house and her girl
friends designed special menus for
the occasion. When the time came
to write in the various items, "dev.

THE BULL-FIGHTER'S GRIT.
Wonderful Display of Nerve and
Pride of Skill In the Span
fsh Arena.

The recent death of the famous Span
Ism toreadcr Reverte recalls one of the
thrilling incidents ever witnessed
IN the arena. 1t was at Bayonne. saws
the London Globe. After disposine nj
two bulls Reverte had twice plunged his
sword into a third, of great strength and
~ferocity, and as the beast continued
careering wildly the spectators began r.
hiss Reverte for bungling. Wounded n
the quick of his pride, the Spaniard
shouted: '"The bull is slain!' and
throwing aside his sword, sank ON ono
knee, with folded arms, in the middle
of the ring.
He was right, but he had not allowed
for the margin of accident. The wound
ed beast charged full upon him, but the
matador, splendid to the last, knelt mo-
tionless as a statue. while the bull liter
ally bounded at him. and as he sprang he
sank IN death, with his last effort Civ
ing one fearful lunge of the head that
drove a horn into the thigh of the kneel-
ing man and laid bare the bone from the
knee to the joint. Still Reverte never
linched, but remained kneeling, exult-
ant In victory, but calmly contemptuous
OF applause, till he was carried away to
heal his wound.
