The Stockings Didn't Suit Her.

Last Saturday night about mid
night, a married man was seen
Sinking out of residence other
than that which he and his family
occupy. just as he came out, q
young man standing on the oppo.
site side of the street. recognized
him. AS he got to the door a wo-
man on the inside yelled after him
a parting shout that could be heard
for a square, that the stockings he
had brought her that night were
full of moth holes, and the stripes
didn't suit her fancy. In calling
after him the woman used his full
name. and the man across the street
was thus assured of the identity of
the fellow, who hiked out of that
neighborhood with a precipitancy

The late Senator Hanna is quo
ted as having said that it took
seventeen million dollars to defeat
Bryan in 1896. Perkins and Mo-
Call, of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company can account for
fifty thousand dollars of it. Lots
of pay dirt could be struck by q
proper congressional investigation.
Bourke Cochran tried to get such
an investigation last winter, but
failed owing to the opposition of
the majority party. There can be
no valid excuse for delaying such
an investigation now that there is
no campaign on, and it is to be
hoped that the president will REQ
ommend such an investigation in
his message this winter, and that
the investigation will be a thorough
one. The investigation should go
into not only the amounts of CON-
tributions and who contributed but
how these enormous sums were ex-
pended.

During an eclipse all hidden treas
ures are open, and IL you are wise
enough to carry a primrose with you
you will be able to help yourself to any
OF them. No witchcraft will ever harm
you If you carry water lily bud about
your person, and If you should chance
to dream of illness you will soon be
happily married. II you eat double
cherries you will have twin children,
and IL you are afraid of lightning take
heed to keep in your house n plant of
orpine or livelong.
Sow peas on Wednesday and Satur-
day If you do not want them to be
eaten by birds. Put blue marjoram in
the baby's cradle when empty to keep
witches at respectable distance, and
If you don't want your last baking to
go moldy you must take good heed not
to bring cornfiowers into the house.
Stars are souls, and when one falls a
baby is born. When baby dies God
makes new star These are all north

There are lot of women In this
world who think that there's only one
side to the married relation, and that's
their side. When one Of them marries
she starts right out to train her hus-
band into kind old Carlo, who'll go
downtown for her every morning and
come home every night, fetching snug
little basketful Of money In his mouth
and wagging his tail as he lays 1t at her
feet. Then It's pat on the head and
