his nrst love may prove an unsuccess-

hls nrst love may prove an unsucceDe- full stepmother.
 Often such man, In sheer despair, proposes marriage to his housekeeper. who has, at least, made him fairly comfortable and established some sort of government over the children. This is marriage of convenience, purely, yet 1t not infrequently turns out very comfortably for everyone. husband and children slike thriving under the good management of wife and mother who may not have inspired romantic love at first, but who wins esteem and re- spect, which are good foundations for genuine affection.
 Nevertheless marriage of this var iety is an experiment, and 1t is some times dangerous one. No intimacy on earth equals that of marriage. No shipwreck is so pitiful as that of a home. When mistakes are made with out the excuse of impulse. and with a certain deliberation, people who are decent must accept the consequences of their folly with what dignity they can. To make the best of bad situa- tfon is sometimes all that Is left, and for the sake of family honor there should be no proclamation of misery to the four winds.
 We shall never as nation arrive at point where we shall regard mar riages of convenience as anything be- yond wretched makeshifts. As a na- tion we are sentimentalists, and we take pride in being so. There was not household the wide land over that did not rejoice when the daughter of our president was married to the man she loved. We were all as jubilant as If we had been present in person at the beautiful wedding, and the mar riage bells in the White House had their silvery echo on every coast, every mountain and every valley throughout our vast domains.

CAPTAIN WENpEL ARRESTED.

First New York Battery Commander
 Accused of Graft.
 NEW YORK, Dec 27.-Captain Lou is Wendell, commander of the First battery, New York national guard, and a well known man about town, was arrested here on warrant charging him with accepting bribe in c6nnec- tion with his conduct of affairs of the battery in it's armory in Sixty sixth street in this city
 The warrant for Captain Wendell was issued by Magistrate Crane in the Tombs court and charged him specific ally with violating section AS of the penal code This section forbids an of ficer of the county or state from receiv- ing any emolument or fee for work done in office except as provided by law.
 Charges under this head have been under investigation for more than a week in secret hearing conducted by Magistrate Crane in his chambers. Abraham Levy, who represented Cap tain Wendell, notified the magistrate early in the hearing that if it was de- cided to issue a warrant he would sur render his client in court so 1t could be served on him.
 While the hearing was under way before Magistrate Crane, Wendell ap- piled to General Roe. commanding the state national guard, and asked that special military inquiry be made of the charges laid against him. General Roe brought the matter to the attention of the governor and later announced that the inquiry Wendell asked for would be made.

THEY ALL WISHED TICKETS.
Everyone Thinks the Theatrical Man aqer Has Them to Give Away.


 The manager of a theatrical com pany had just written his name upon the register of the leading hotel. The clerk was all smiles.
 Flows the world been using you since you were here last season?' the clerk asked. Room with bath?"
 The manager said business had been fairly good. The clerk said he was glad of that.
 Say, Billy" he added, "can you fix me up for the show?"
 The manager wasn't surprised at the question. He had heard 1t before. He would sec what he could do.
 During the day nearly everyone the manager met asked him for comp" to the show.
 That night the manager was telling his troubles to a newspaper friend.
 Everybody tries to hold me up for tickets" he said. But I don't give out many nowadays. Why should I? I pay well for everything get In the way of accommodations.
 "l'll tell you when the practice started. Years ago. when the old time minstrel shows were in vogue. managers and actors gave tickets away by the wholesale. If they were short on money for railroad fare they made 1t up with tickets. At the hotels they sometimes had to pay bills with seat checks. The members of the company gave tickets to their friends. to bellboys. barbers and saloon men And SO the theatrical man came to be regarded as legitimate prey. The spirit is alive yet. but we can't be so liberal now"
