MARY, do you think look as IL had

has made my eyes little red.
"Jack--Mr. Harris-didn't meet me
at that tearoom downtown as he prom
lsed. But l don't care at all---not in
the least. ! had rather an unpleasant
time and couldn't eat anything. It's
all Jack's-Mr. Harris too.
you need not make coffee for his
dinner. No, nor tea. Wen have just
milk. Oh, know he doesn't drink
milk, but we can't always be consid-
ering what he likes. By the way, you
need not fry the chicken, either. Well
have creamed Goldfish; Jack detests it.
If you can think of anything else that
he doesn't eat, you may as well cook
that, too.
mo, I'm not in the least angry. No,
indeed. never get angry with my hus-
band. / merely can't always be think
Ing of his dislikes and likes. He didn't
remember his engagement with me to-
day and IL don't care If / never,
never see him again. No, ! don't.
suppose I'd get along equally well
without him. So, Mary, you may as
well get the dinner at once. l won't
wait for hlm-he can eat it cold;
though perhaps it would be better to
have dinner very late-for he always
comes home so hungry.
why, it's after five o'clock now.
What do you suppose is the reason he
doesn't come?
"Oh, can anything have happened
to him? You say he may have been
struck by an automobile? Mary, how
can you suggest such a thing? You
had friend who was smashed to
pieces by one? Oh, oh! II they are
bringing Jack home in pieces-Iu love
every little tiny piece.
What? Yes, yes, get some hot
water ready; they may need it if-no,
no, that looks as If we were anxious
to be ready TOTO fix him together. /

ooh, Mary, the sight of blood will
make me faint. Do you think he'll
have any blood on him? Your friend
did? Mary, you are such comfort to
me! If he only returns to me whole

Scheme Worked Out Badly.

Congressman Sulzer represents a
densely populated district on the East
side of New York city. 1t occurred to
him some months ago that though
there are no gardens in his district
some of his constituents might grow
plants in boxes placed on window
stills or fire escapes, so he sent an as
sortment Of seed to the inmate of a
model tenement house owned by one
Of his friends. The latter met him
few days ago and said: See here,
Sulzer, / want you to cut out that seed
business. It's the limit" why,
what's the matter? asked the aston
ished Sulzer, and he explained why he
had sent the seeds. ooh, you meant
well, all right" returned the friend,
scornfully, but when / visited the
place the other day found that about
ten families were raising cabbage, GU
cumbers and tomatoes in the bath
tubs"

! Congressman Laeey's Plans.

congressman ldCcys FtdHS'
A Washington dispatch to the Reg
lister and Leader says: Representa-.
tive John F. Lacey of the Sixth dis
trict is very likely to be candidate
for the senate whenever Senator AL
lison retlres. Major Lacey admits
frankly that he is considering the
matter and some of his friends be-
lieve that he has definitely made up
his mind to this end.
Major Lacey talked over his plans
with the The Register and Leader
representative at the White House,
where he went to call on President
Roosevelt. He said he had no notion
of taking an appointment. He said
he had fully determined to go back
to Iowa and practice law; that he had
good practice and that he never
wanted it said of him that he was a
political pauper,' and had to have
an appointive Office because he could
not be reelected to congress.
Whether he would run for congress
again two years from now, Major
Lacey said he was not determined.
He said he was being urged by many
friends from various parts of Iowa to
become candidate for senator and
to go after that Office actively when
Senator Allison retires. He admitted
without hesitation that he would be
pleased to hold so high an office as
that of senator from Iowa. Major
Lacey is understood to feel that a
primary law will be passed by the
time he runs for senator and that
he would win over Cummins in such
a test

General Thrift Wants Arsenal.

General Thrift Wants Arsenal.
Adjutant General Thrift has com.
pleted his report for the year, making
important recommendations to the
legislature.
He proposes the erection of the
long delayed arsenal building on prop
erty owned by the war department
of the state across the street east
of the capitol. He estimates a struc-
ture sufficient for the needs of the
military establishment will cost about
$4,000 but he does not urge the APP
preparation of that sum.
1t would be fireproof, necessarily,
and would be used for storage of the
states property connected with the
department, which amounts to many
thousands Of dollars and is now
stored in business block in East Des
Moines and subject to destruction by
fire; and it would furnish a proper
headquarters for the adjutant general
and his offices and the guard aead.
quarters.
General Thrift also recommends
Indt regiment or the natlOnal gudTu
be commissioned to represent Iowa at
the military celebration to be held at
jamestown next summer, during the
exposition, In commemoration of the
first settlement of English speaking
people in this country 800 years ago.
1t will be participated in by the army
and navy of the United States and ma.
tional guard organizations from all
over the country. The largest mum.
Der of naval vessels ever congregated
in American waters will gather In
Hampton Roads for this celebration
Congress already has made the pro.
vision. The presence of a regiment
of the Iowa Guard, General Thrift
thinks, would give Iowa fitting place
in the celebration in which the whole
world will take part. Extensive man
euvers will be carried out, including
an engagement Of naval and land
forces and the military.
General Thrift asks that the law be
amended to make the guard camp ten
days instead of eight. He asks for
an appropriation of $4,000 to carry
out the law which was enacted In thu
session of 1906.
