But the small sister had vanished;
She reached Suzanne's room some

Like that Hurry, don't lose any

And so it chanced that Jack, wait

saw coming toward him, Suzanne, in
a most fetching and dainty negligee
arrangement, all snowy lace and CO.
quettish ruffles-Suzanne, with her
pretty hair all loose and waving softly
down to her waist-Suzanne, with
her brown eyes wet with tears, and
her sweet little mouth a-trembling-
a Suzanne to steal ones very heart
away!
Then Jack lost his head-just for a
moment.
"Why, my darling" he said, my
own dear little girl, what is the mat
ter?''
And Suzanne, seeing the light in
his eyes and his hands held out to
her, very properly flung herself into
his arms and sobbed on his shoulder.
After Jack left, the small sister
came into Suzannn's room.

"Yes,' said Suzanne, reflectively,

DOGS AND DISHONEST MEN.

"Can dog tell a thief from an
honest man :" asked man who takes
an interest in mans humble friend.
"Of course this question, in the very
nature of mans limited knowledge
of the dogs mental processes, can be
answered only deductively.
"I recall one dog in particular that
impressed me with very firm belief
that he just knew intuitively an hon.
est from a dishonest man. Under
ordinary circumstances he was not
4 all slow in making friends
with a stranger. In fact, he was in
clined to be friendly. During the
time that this particular dog was un-
der my observation in three cases oui
of nine he absolutely refused to be
at all friendly with men he came IN
contact with daily. He was on
friendly and even playful terms with
six of the men, would answer when
they called, would follow them, hunt
with them, and do other things to IN
dicate that he was friendly and had
confidence. Toward three of the mer
his conduct, when not Indifferent,
was sullen and resentful. He would
have nothing to do with them.
"Is it not significant fact that two
of these men turned out to be ex-con-
victs and that one of them was after
ward sent to the penitentiary for cattle
stealing, while the other six out oi
the nine grew into good, law abiding
citizens? This case is not conclusive
| of course. l only mention it becaus'
of the fact that it is the strangest cas-
that ever came under my observa
ton. Cor.

To fully describe bis grand success. In wealth

Because of the talent developed by him IN the

D. Percfval Lack. of Hackensack, invented a

And started the dairy where it is made. His

He patented bills that never came due, and

A thousand people Qf they get ina truly re-
markable feat.
For Mr.. Lack
Was a crackerjack
That very well couldn't be beat.
B. Percival Lack. of Hackensack, achieved a
triumph of life.
And saved the world by q patent of his from the

whose scheme of carrying on pawn
broking business at the race tracks
attracted attention in sporting circles,
has evolved a new one. He has or
ganized company. to be known as the
Husbands Protective Association and
announced that articles of incor-
poration would shortly be fled. The
company. according to Levy. will be
incorporated with capital of $780,
600.
"It is the greatest idea of the GEN.
tury," said Levy, as he waxed en-
thusiastic over his plans. DO you
know that there are hundreds OF
thousands of husbands in this country
who need protection from t heir
wives
'I don't mean those men who let
their wives punch them or nag them.
mean the husbands whose wives go
through their pockets at night.
"Our company is going to estab-
lish stations at different parts of the
city where husbands can deposit their
money before they go home at night.
This scheme will save downtrodden
husbands thousands of dollars year.
The company will extend its opera
tions to other cities.
Levy was asked how far the COM
pany's operations had extended up to
date.
II have sent out many circulars, -
he said land have got many replies.
One bloke worte me that for years
he had tried to hide his money, but
that he was convinced that his wife
was mind reader, because she could
always find it.
"He said he hid his roll in his
shoes, in the band of his hat, in mis-
stockings, under the pillow and under
the dining room table. but in the still
hours of the night she always hshed
it out.
"Another bloke wrote me that once
cited up his money in handkerchief
and placed it behind picture. Being
afraid he would forget where he put
the roll when he woke up in the
morning, he drew a map of the room
with the location of the picture. on it.
He left the map on his sideboard.
''It was weird drawing, but he
informs me that his wife found is,
studied it out and found his roll be-
hind the picture before he got up in
the morning.
"Another guy wrote me that he
put $7.85 one night in a sugar bowl
on his sideboard. In the morning he
forget where he hid the money. The
wife found it later.
"Another man told me, and he is 9
prominent dry goods man in Crane
street, that he had to hide his roll II
his shoe. The wife didn't get wise
to it, but one day he found the rem
nants of twenty dollar bill stuck II
the toe of the shoe. 1t had beer
there three months. He had to send
| il to Washington to get it redeemed
"Another man hid his roll under
the rug in the dining room one night
and in the morning the wife stumbled
over it and coppered it.
IT have got many more letters from
old timers who call me public ben
efactor. Many of them have tole
me that they have devoted the bettel
part of their lives in trying to invent
hiding places for their money.
"There are millions in this scheme
and l will have a great many clients.

HOW SHE CHARMED HIM.

eff I knew how to write stories,
SAYS a pension office woman, to the
Washington Post, "I'd write one
about my cousin Matte. We're about
the same age, and for the last fifteen
years we've been earning our own
iivings. Matte has been school
teacher, and I've been in Office.
Every time we met we used to talk
about what we meant to do with the
money a bachelor uncle of ours MAS
to leave us some day. Matte always
said she intended to spend every cent
of her share having a good time taat
she could remember all the rest of ner
life.
"'If I invest it, she used to say,
1 may lose. If 1 buy splendid good
time with it, nobody can ever rob me
of the memory of it..
1.-TWO years ago our uncle died and
left each of us about 81 1000. | was
too sensible to fool mine away. Iput
il into suburban lots that couldn't
sell now for more than half what I
gave for them. Matte took four
months leave of absence, bought her
self lovely wardrobe, and went to
| California for the winter. She said
she meant to spend every cent she had
in just four months, and she cid.
When her leave of absence was up
she hadn't penny left. Teaching
now? No, stree. She met very rich
man in California and married him.
| And what charmed the man was the
frank way in which she told him
about her money and how she was
spending it. He said he'd been look
ing all his life for woman with good
common sense, and Matte was the
only one he'd ever found"

FAVORABLE TO LONGEVITY.

Most writer's, ancient and modern,
agree on the following circumstances
as favorable to longevity:
1. To be born of healthy, long
lived parents. cor if born of sickly,
short lived parents, to determine to
conquer the disadvantage by syste-
matte hygiene.)
2. To live in the temperate zone.
4. To live in the country and much
in the open air.
d. To be temperate in eating and
drinking.
To which may be added these ten
commandments of hygiene from
French medical review
I. Rise early, retire early, tlll your
day with work.
?. Water and bread maintain life
pure air and sunshine are necessary to
life.
2. Cleanliness prevents rust the
best cared-for machine lasts the
longest.
d. Practice frugality and sobriety.
{. Enough sleep repairs waste and
strengthens too much softens and
enfeebles.
6. Be sensibly dressed, with free
dom of movements and s!!thcient
warmth.
7. A clean and cheerful house
makes happy home.
8. The mind is refreshed and IN
vigorated by distractions and amuse-
ments, but abuse of them leads to dis
sipation, and dissipation leads to vice.
Cheerfulness makes love OF lie,
and love of life is half of health.
Sadness and Encouragement hasten
old age. ,
10. Do you gain your living by
your intellect? Then do not allow
YOUR arms aud legs to grow stitf
Do YOU earn your bread by your pick
axe? Do not forget to cultivate
your mind.
