alive, 1t comes right from the north
pole, and you just perish in your
tracks.
Gee, but it is awful. When you get
seasicl1 on an ordinary ocean, you
know where to locate the disease, and
you know where to go for relief, and
when you have got relieved you know
that you are alive, but an English
channel seasickness is as different
from any other as an alcohol jag is
different from champagne drunk.
This English channel seasickness be-
gins on your toes, and you feel as
though the toenailS were being pulled
out with pincers, and the veins in
your legs seem to explode, your arms
wilt like lettuce in front of cheap
grocery, your head seems to be struck
with a pile-driver and telescoped down
into your spine, and your stomach
feels as though you had swallowed a
telephone pole with all of the cross
arms and wires and glass insulatOrs,
and you wish lightning would strike
YOU Gosh, but dad was hot when
he found that he was sick that way,
and when we got ashore he wanted to
kill the first man he met
He thinks that it is a crime for
a man not to understand the English
language, and when he tells what he
wants, and the man he is talking to
shrugs his shoulders and laughs, and
brings him something else, he wants
to pull his gun and begin to shoot
up the town, and only for me he would
have killed people before this, but now
he takes it out in scowling at people
who do not understand him. Dad
seems to think that if he cannot make
a man understand what he says, all
he has to do is to swear at the man.
but there is no universal language of
profanity, so the more dad swears the
more the nervous Frenchman smiles,
and acts polite.

politest folks / ever knew. IL a
Frenchman had to kick person out of
doors, he would wear a felt slipper,
and after he had kicked you he would
place his ha-1 on his heart, and bow,
and look so sorry, and hurt, that you
would want to give him a tip
o, but this tipping business is what
is breaking dads heart. l think if
the servants would arrange a syndi-
cate to rob dad of two or three dol
lars day, by pocket picking, or sneak
thieving, he would overlook it, and
say that as long as it was one of the
customs of the country we should
have to submit to it, but when he
has paid his bill, with everything
charged extra, and the servants line
up and look appealingly, or mad, as
the case may be, dad is the hardest
man to loosen that ever was, but if
they seem 10 look the other way, and
not. apparently, care whether they get
cent or not, dad would 60 and hunt
them up, and divide his roll with
them. Dad is not what you would

ing, and his American spirit gets the

The water Pan.

Go out to the hen house and slook
at the pan you have been giving the
fowls their water in, and see how full
of straw and other litter it is. Then
take an old cheese box, split half way
around the side, put the dish of water
on top of that, and note the difference
there will be in cleanliness. The wa
ter pan ought never to be placed so
that the hens can throw stuff over the
edge into it,

The Successful Feeder.

It is not necessarily the man who
gets the animal to eat the largest
quantity of food who VIII get the larg-

Paris, France.-My Dear Uncle Ezra:
Dad is in an awful state here, and
do not know what to do with him.
We struck this town all in heap,
and the people seemed to be paralyzed
so they couldn't speak, except to
make motions and make noises that
we could not interpret. This is the
first time dad and I have been in a
place where nobody understood our
language. Ordinarily we would take
pleasure in teaching people to speak
the English language, but in coming
across the English channel dad and
both got something we never got on
the water before. Ordinary seasick-
ness is only an incident, that makes
you wish you were dead-just tenn
porary, but when it wears off you
can enjoy your religion and victuals
as well as ever, but the seasickness
that the English channel gives you is
permanent investment, like govern
ment bonds that you cut coupons off
Of / 'spect we shall be sick always
now, and worse every other day, like
chills and fever.
Say, a boat on the English channel
does not roll, or pitch, at intervals,
like q boat on ordinary water, but it
does stunts like broncho that has
been poisoned by eating loco-weeds,
and goes into the air and dives down
under, and shakes itself like black
bass with a hook in its mouth, and
rolls over like a trained dog, and sits
up on it's hind legs and begs, and then
walks on its fore paws, and seems to
jump through hoops, and dig for wood
chucks, and all the time the water
boils like 'pollinarius, full of bubbles,
and it gives you the hiccups to look
at it, and it flows every way at the
same time, and the wind comes from
the fourteen quarters at once, and
blows hot if you are too hot and want

WOMEN AND MATRIMoNY.
One Writer Who DisaErees with
Maud Come on the Subject.


Maud Come on the Subject.
Such few sensible women as took
any notice of Maude Comes petu-
liant declaration, made just after her
divorce from Capt. Mcbride in Paris,
that "a woman of brains should never
marry" will also observe from the
news of the week that there Is another
side to the story, says the Plttsburg
Dispatch. 1t will be remembered that
the Irish Joan of Arc said that it was
impossible for a married woman to
have career. Mrs. Payne Whitney
(Helen Hay, daughter Of the late Sec
retary of State) does not seem to be
hampered in her literary work by mar
sued her third volume of poems, "Son-
nets and Songs" and general paean
Of praise has greeted the work. The
name Of Myra Kelly should also be
added to the growing list of women
who do not believe that women Of
brains should not marry. Miss Kelly
had a career and still has. She writes
charming stories of the children of the
East Side, and they are known to mag
azlne readers all over the country. Yet
this week she married horse dealer
and is glad Of it. According to Maude
Come this should be the end Of her ca
reer. but the bride will keep on her
studies of the East Side and continue
to produce her charming stories. Mrs.
Whitney, who recently aban-
doned the practice Of law, was advised
during the week to return to the bar.
II am happier as l am" she said; "I
have II little boy to take care Of" Mrs.
Clarence Mackay is another woman
who does not find that the marriage
ties bind her to strictly domestic
life. She has been recently elected Il
school trustee in the Long Island vii
lage where she has country seat, and
has become local political factor to
be reckoned with. The fact that Rus.
sell Sage never takes interest in phi.
lanthropic enterprises does not prevent
Mrs. Sage from taking an active inter-
est in club work and in many worthy
charities.

IL, and dashed on the other line with al
yell. We soon divined that one column
was made up of our friends, or of the
soldiers friends, and, whipping our
horses to gallop, we went into the
fight. 1t was beautiful. 1t was worth
remembering. We routed the butter
nut fellows, and the soldiers who had
caused the trouble were the heroes of
the hour.
This set us up too much. We -four
ished our captured butternut pins re-
gardless of consequences and talked
overmuch of what we might do. Whenl
we went, In the evening to take the
train we found one of the railway la
borers wearing butternut pin. We
took 1t away from him and he ske-l
daddled for town. In ten minutes he
came back with forty or fifty men,
who said they had been looking for
us all day. AS each of us was acting
as escort for young lady we explain
cd that this wasn't our time to fight.
"One huge bully marched up to me
and explained that l would have to
take n licking. The young woman
with me caught up a hatchet and
heavy weight from the scales on the
platform and, making ready to throw
one and strike with the other, said
quietly to me: 1--WE are used to this.

Some persons can appreciate n Joke,

Private Weed, of Company a, rs a. o.
Marshalrs Army Life" records, had
the ability of seeing justice in the alb
stract, although its application was
personal and undeserved. Weed was
always getting into trouble by hap
pening along ut the wrong time, as in,
the following instance, when he re-
ccivcd punishment for depredations in
which he took no part.
One day, MS he was walking down,
in command at Indianoa. Tex, during
part of the civil war; had the repu-
tatlon of being strict discipllnarlan.
The town was deserted and the stores.
containing much stock, were aban-
doned. Gen. Warren gave strict orders
that no one should enter these shops
nor in any way mcddle with the goods.
noe day, as he was walking down
several lawless soldiers getting into n
side window of tobacco store. In
stead of having them arrested, the gen.
cral dismissed them in his own prompt
and energetic way. Weed, as usual,
had come along at the unfortunate mo-
ment, and was treated as one of the
culprlts. Warren was his ideal of
soldier, and he rushed back to camp,
eXclaimlng:
II tell you, boys, the general is the
stavingest, best officer we ever had.
He means business! He's just the
kind of an officer we need!'
An explanation of this outburst was
asked.
Just now | saw Gen. Warren catch
some boys stealing tobacco and sugar.
He didn't fool about 1t one bit. He
caught one fellow and kicked him live
ly. Kicked him right into the middle
of the street. tell you. boys. he's a
splendid officer. He's n staving good
fellow. He's the boss"'
The eloquent praise was broken by
some one asking: "Who got the kick
ing?'
"Oh, l tell you he's stavlng Off

OF energy! II got the kicking!"
