said a tourist the other day who
were great friends One Of them was
80 years old and the other 81. They
were taking their morning toddy one
day and fell into a disagreement over
the date OF some pioneer occurrence.
Each was inslstent upon his own
recollection OF 1t, and finally they
got into regular quarrel Backing
away from the bar, they drew their
guns and blazed away at each other.
but their sight was so dim and their
hands 80 unsteady that all the bui-

we're emptied the barkeep emerged
from beneath the counter and made

In Vienna in 1880: A wellknown ban

together with four OF his associates,
and they were all condemned to

when Schayenburg addressed the
Judge. asking that his four compan'

those also?"
The Judge replied that he would OBJ

The bandit was satisfied. bent his

his head rolled down; but to the great
surprise OF the Judge and the specta.

Harding Ii mild hammered man In
appearance, He does not appear to
be the tire-eater that his former wives
painted him. His present wife naive
ly suggests that her softening In
fiuence has not been exerted In vain.
In any event the couple are getting
along as nicely as cooling doves. ac-
cording to the neighbors. who are
deeply interested In the case
oh. don't think there Is anything
no very wonderful about It," remarked
Mrs Harding the other day.
Il had made up my mind that

tieups unless | knew In advance where
was going to get of. I've suffered
whole lot just because | hadn't any

made up my mind to take precau-
lions tho next time So Il was at my
suggestion that we drew up these
rules.
MIR. Harding didn't want to do 1t

playing baseball--we would have to
stop and hook up the rules every time
we wanted to do anything. but told
him that II was worth having at all
was worth that much trouble and
he finally consented

He doesn't know that. SO you mustn't
say anything to him about IT,
Il fnd that II pays to lot your
husband know In advance how much
you need to keep things going. and a
woman who will get married without
doing so Is foolish. It's good thing
to have down In writing. too, Some
