PERHAPS IT CURED HIM.
Maybe the Wife Had Been Out, May. be Not, the Effect Was
 the Same.

Capt. Mark Caste was being congrat- ulated on his gift of s1,500 from the Carnegie here fund for bravery in the wreck of the Cherokee, relates the New York Tribune
 'The gift was unexpected" said Capt. Caste with a modest smile. Tt was as unexpected, though by no means as unpleasant, as the retort that wife made to her husband when he came home at three o'clock in the morning.
 "The man came home very quietly. In fact, he took off his shoes on the front doorstep. Then he unlocked the door and went cautiously and slowly upstairs on his tiptoe, holding his breath.
 But light was streaming through the kephole of the door of the bed room. With sigh he paused Then he opened the door and entered.
 His wife stood by the bureau fully dressed.
 T didn't expect you'd be sitting up for me, my dear he said.
 "'I haven't been,' she said. T just came in myself

A gentleman and his wife were sit- ting in one of the front rows in a the ater On the floor the man saw a large hat-pin with an amber head. The Chi cago Daily News tells what he did with iE.
 Looking about him, he saw that two women and their escorts had just sat down. To one of the women he presented the pin. A shake of the head indicated that he had made mistake
 Then he tried two ladies across the aisle. They seemed to be interested. The pin was a curiosity, and it's amber of unique carving. They hesitated, but handed the pin back.
 Desperately, he began the search anew. Two ladies unattended seemed likely owners To them also he showed the pin. They took it and en- joyed its pattern.
 Just then the man felt tug on his sleeve. It was his wife. and she re- marked, Why are you showing my hat-pin to strangers?"
 Flushing, he went over to the la dies, who were still looking at the pin, and explained.
 ''It's my wife's pin" he said, but in such consciously guilty accents that the women handed 1t back with doubt ing smiles.

HAY WAS DIPLOMATIC EVER
The Late Secretary of State Had a Way with Him" That
 Always Won.

Story Is told of the. late John Hay Illustrative of that fine diplomatic temperament that made his name know all over the world, says the American Spectator.
 Some years ago MT. Hay sent Mfr Alexander Gum, of Cleveland, for his perusal the manuscript of an interest ing bit of work by Mark Twain, en- titled, "A Conversation as it was at the Social Preside in the Time of the Tudors." MT. Hay knew that his friend Gum, connoisseur of 1itera- ture and art, would be much interest ed in what the former termed "seri- ous effort to bring back our literature and philosophy to the chaste, Eliza bethan standard"
 Now it appears that Mir. Gum was he wrote to MT. Hay proposing to print limited number of copies there of for private distribution. It is said that Mir. Hay replied as follows:
 tThe proposition you make to pull a few proofs of Twain's masterpiece is highly attractive, and, of course, high ly immoral. I cannot properly consent to the suggestion, as I am afraid the great man would think I was taking an unfair advantage of his confidence Accordingly, I will thank you to send back the manuscript as soon as pos sible; but if. in spite of my prohibi- tion, you take those proofs, save me one"
 It was superfuous to add that. with this hint, the proofs were "pulled'- one for MT. Hay and one for MT. Gum

sale is to prove a record breaker.
Bargains picked up so far include a
number of very fine instruments among
them being a Marshall & Wendell the

At this sale it is the high quality of
the instruments offered that Eilers de-
sire to keep before the public. There is
not a piano that has not its share of
reputation, in fact, all are of the kind
that would win the approval of the
most critical.
The prices at which these standard
instruments are being sold should at
tract, too. They are such as to make
a good piano within the reach of many
who have got to thinking a purchase
of a piano was something that they
could not undertake.
At this sale liberal terms Of payment

three highest priced styles, all pianos
are for sale on payment of SIS, $40 or
