Prisoners of n Great City.

A husband and his wife, respectable
looking and we'll dressed, recently
moved into a detached house in the
Bronx. They were very quiet and did
not mingle with their neighbors. but
seemed to enjoy their surroundings,
particularly the garden, in which they
began work at once.
OF course the neighbors were curl
Gus, but all early efforts to find out
who the couple were or where they
came from proved Of no avail. Final
ly one of the neighbors, meeting the
man one day, asked him outright how
long he had lived in New York and
what his business was.
"Our past is a secret" said the man,
land we are trying to live 1t down
My wife and have just completed a
long term in prison, and we are now
quietly enjoying life."
"Well," said the neighbor, II am as
tonished at what you tell me. But
for one do not want to continue to
punish those who have paid the pen
atty Of errors In life. What prison
were you confined In, may I ask"
A merry twinkle came into the eyes
Of the man as he said: 'It was Har-
lem fat. We were confined there three
yearsw-New York Press.

THE WORK IN IOWA.
Reasons Why One New Grange Was
Recently Organized.

hcCththy
Grange work in Iowa seems to be
progressing although slowly. In the
early history of the order Iowa was
one Of the great grange states, having
for time over 1000 subordinate
oranges, but at the present time its
oranges are so few as not to entitle
it to representation in the national
grange. But there are evidences that
the grange spirit is again reviving and
that Iowa will soon again be repre-
scented in the national body. a grange
was recently organized at Matlock,
Sioux county, Ia, with Hon. Luther
Bishop, former state senator, at its
head. He was for years prominent
grange organizer in New York state.
Safe Senator Kimmell is also active
in promoting grange work at Sheldon,
Ia. 1t Is interesting to note why Mat
lock grange was organized. A com
mittee of five of the best farmers of
that section was appointed to inves-
tigate all existing farmers organiza-
tons and report which seemed the best
adapted to the needs of the farmers
in that section. After long investi.
CATION the committee unanimously re.
ported in favor of the grange for the
reasons that its membership is by far
the greatest of any farmers organiza-
ton in the world, it has a record of
usefulness in legislation in nearly
every state in the union and its in
1uence in national legislation has al.
ways been for the farmers interests.

pairing to descend again.
You're so close now a little bump
would throw you on the track. Don't
you see that, Bettyf" Alice interposed
anxiously.
"Oh, Betty wants to show OFF, Ad-
die sneered, and unfortunately at the
same instant Bert commanded:
"Ned, you boys bring your sleds over
here at once! You're foolhardyw
With scarlet cheeks and flashing eyes
Betty snatched a sled and ran to q
point directly over the railroad and
prepared for downward flight alone.
Command her, would he? OF course he
meant her She'd show him! There
was an uproar Of warning shouts from
the young men and shrieks from the
girls, but Betty was too angry to heed
AS she started another sled shot down
diagonally and midway the hill ran
into hers, throwing them both into the
deeper snow, where they rolled over
and over and brought up at last in a
tangle on the brink of plunge just as
train swept dlOug DelOW.
White and shaking at the narrow es
cape, Betty took herself off the head OF
her rescuer, sobbing:
"Oh, Bert, Bert! Have 1 killed you?
At the instant of collision she had seer
who it was attempting to stay her fool
ish flight at the risk of his life. She
had been too angry and excited to un
derstand that train was coming-but
she had been silly-so silly"
She covered her face as Bert sat up
saying as he brushed the snow from
his eyes:
Its got to be soon, sweetheart, so
can take proper care Of my wifev'
But you called me unladylike to AID

'It's a mistake. When Addie called
you unladylike / said you were just O
good, sweet, wholesome girl and nc
finicky lady," he explained adding
calmly: "They think we are about kill
ed, we are so long stirring. They'll be
on us in a minute, but we sit here til
we understand there's no going back
on what you said. You've spoken tC

"And you'll fulfill your word soon
They're most here!'
"Y-yes," she said again, blushina

And he swung her to her feet as the
crowd surged about them.

Dealing with Bores.

An amusing incident is related OF
the efforts of certain devotees Of cards
Mt q club in New York to rid them
selves Of unwelcome suggestions as to
their style of play vouchsafed by bores
who persisted in standing about and
looking oyer the heads Of the players.
One evening one Of the players, per-
haps the most skillful of any Of the
members Of the club, could endure the
nuisance no longer. Rising, he po-
litely asked one of the bores to play
the hand for him until his return. The
bore took the cards, and the player left
the room. Soon afterward the second
player followed the example Of the
first. The two substitutes played for
awhile without observing the lapse of
time. Finally one of them called an
attendant and asked:
Where are the gentlemen who were
playing here awhile ago."
The attendant grinned. They're in
the next room. sir, playing cards.

American After Dinner Wit.

"After Dinner Oratory In America"
appears to be one Of the subjects for
ever interesting to the British reader.
The manner Of it would seem to pique
him q little and shock him at the same
time. In the Nineteenth Century Dan
lei Crilly gives some account Of the
origin of the peculiar American habit
of treating serious matters humorously
after dinner and contrasts a banquet
In New York with, say, a Mansion
House dinner in London. He quotes
Lowelrs ingredients Of after dinner
oratory. "They are" said Lowell, "the
joke, the quotation and the platitude,
and the successful platitude, In my
judgment, requires a very high order
of genius" AS an example Of Ameri-
can wit Mr.. Crilly gives the follow
ing:
1T CHANGED to be in Chicago (said this
gentleman at dinner board to COM
pany of fellow New Englanders) two
or three days after the great fire Of
1871. AS l walked among the smoking
ruins If l saw q man with cheerful
air | knew that he was a resident Of
Chicago. If / saw a man with a long
face l knew that he represented a
Hartford Insurance company. Really
the cheerful resignation with which
the Chicago people endured the losses
of New England did honor to human
nature"

The Dress of Women.

The old Greeks had a proverb ex-
pressing their belief that the mother
should be strong and vigorous in or
der that the sons might be brave and
mighty in battle; accordingly, in the
palmiest days Of Greece, laws existed
which required every woman to en-
gage in the practise of gymnastics and
to give minute attention to all the re-
quirements Of hygienic laws, not that
she might be able TO enter contests
in the arena or to fight battles in de-
Tense Of her country, but that her
sons might be victorious In all the
conflicts of life, in peace as well as in
were noted for strength, vigor and en-
durance was the highest honor any
Grecian woman could enjoy.
Do all mothers think of these things
when they treat their bodies very
much as they do a mass of dough in
making bread, molding it into such
shape as may happen to suit the fancy
of the reigning queen of fashion, with
out considering that the artificial
shape produced may be in the highest
degree incompatible with the physical
health and conduce to no small extent
to the constitutional feebleness which
their unborn sons and daughters must
hereafter endure?
Babies are simply buds; hence they
must share the character of the par
ent stock A weak-waisted mother
transmits to her son or daughter a
of structure. The mother whose liver
and stomach are SO carried out OF
place that they cannot perform their
functions in a proper manner, If the
does not actually transmit TO her sons
and daughters a displacement Of the
stomach and liver. gives to them a
predisposition to deformities. of this
sort.
That large responsibility rests
upon women because of their neglect
to care for their bodies. and because
of the homage they pay to fashion,
starts out in good earnest to learn to
live one hundred years, and who de- |
sires that her sons and daughters |
shall follow her in such laudable I'M |
will certainly give this mat
ter the careful consideration which |
will lead her to take her stand with |
thousands of other intelligent women
who have declared their emancipation
from the tyrannous letters of fashion
and who believe it their inalienable
right to accept what civilization has
80 long denied them--the God-given

Japanese Woman the Autocrat Of Her
Own Household.

Own Household.
The notion that the Japanese wo-
man is q meek and slavish creature,
little better than servant in her
household, is altogether a mistaken
one. On the contrary, she is ad-
dressed as "Okusama," the honorable
lady of the house, and is treated
with the greatest respect and con
sideration by her husband and her
family. She is the mentor, the auto
crat, and idol Of the home. In domes-
tic affairs she has full control. Her
duties are onerous, but never repuE-
nant to her. They consist OF man
aging the household, practicing econ-
omy. making her home pleasant, both
in appearance and by her cheerful
ness Of disposition. and the education
and instruction OF her children, for
even after the children have entered
school they are still under her tute-
lage. A Japanese house is the acme
Of purity. To western eye the as
pect of the interior OF Japanese
house may at first seem bare and bar
rem. In truth, the Japanese abhor de-
coration Of any kind. and consider 1t
not only inartistic. but extremely
vulgar.-Montreal Herald.
