But / would be saved the crime OF
murder by her finally going into

tightly across the aisle several times
would drop into the next seat,
muttering fierce and impatient male
dictions, only to behold her again out
III the aisle, after having decided she
had better try the next car. Pretty
soon I would behold her coming back,
now in the last condition Of furry,
having found every place occupied.
At the last she would settle down, ut
terly exhausted, in the small half-seat
at the front of the ear. riding back
wards and with her valise upon her
lap.
Yes, this undecided creature is to
be pitied; but it will never be by me.
At the restaurant she never can tell
what she wants to eat. At the milli-
ner's she sucks her fingers and looks
despairingly at a heap of 10 hats. At
the market she first orders beef,
then countermands it and says NUT
ton, finally deciding on veal
She throws her household into great
confusion over the choosing of the pa
per for the den, or upon the selection
of the oilcloth for the kitchen; and
when the house is to have a new coat
Of paint it Is almost case Of brain
fever for her.
However, the undecided woman has
her uses, for the fierce and domineer-

everything for her ever after. He is
happy in governing, and she is happy
In being thus ruled, and SO every thing
turns out for the best.

WAR TIME HERO A PAUPER.
John Jackson Saved Federal Ships at
Risk Of His Life

RISK Of Ills Life.
1t was generally believed that when
Mrs John @. Kealy was induced to
leave her home in the latest addition
to the Naval academy grounds, that
the last private citizen had departed
from that area and that the United
States government had full swing to
carry on its improvements This, HOY
ever, is not the case, for a little howell
inside the academy wall is still occu-
pied by another Annapolis notable,
John Jackson, although arrangements
have been completed by which he will
move to other quarters within few
days.
The man, John Jackson, who is still
a tenant by sufferance on the grounds
of the academy, although now reduced
to the lowest depths of poverty, was a
United States sailor during the civil
war, and performed feat of splendid
daring and courage when was recog-
nized by the government anad medal
commemorative of it bestowed upon
him.
The feat took place during the block
ade Of Charleston, s. c.. by the fed
eraI fleet. Some United States vessels,
the largest of which was the Mianton-
omoh, upon which Jackson was a sail
or, had crossed the bar into the harbor.
and could only retrace their course by
the same narrow channel by which
they had come. The confederates in
the shore batteries discovered this, and
as the tide was at flood they launched
three torpedoes chained together, SO as
to float down on the federal ships and
destroy them The torpedoes were the
kind which exploded on contact with
some object. Jackson volunteered to
swim toward the torpedoes and I'M
screw the cap which was intended to
explode them. This feat he accom-
pllshed, though with the greatest dam
ger of meeting death from premature
explosion or from the shots of the con-
federates. To accomplish it he was
forced to dive and do a part of the
work under water.-New York Times.

There have been many will makers

A much more whimsical testator was
a Mr. Sanborn, who left 1000 pounds to
Professor Agassiz to have his skin con-
verified into two dlumheads and two of
his homes into drum sticks, and the bal
ance of his fortune to his friend, Mr.
Simpson, on condition that on every
18th of June he should repair to the

against the sin of ingratitude.
If was a rich brewer who bequeatn-

condition that on the birth Of her first
child she should forfeit 1000 pounds

the sensation OF greater warmth,
