What Were They Talking About?

What Were They Talking About?
The other day a deaf old woman
was talking to a deaf old man in a
country town. Each was leaning on
a cane and shouting to the other, while
a hand was cupped at an ear of each.
The old woman was saying:
That's just what Mirandy was
tellin' me. She says she's got so she
eats hern jest as good as if they were
natcheral ones, but it took her a
turrible while t. git ust to 'em. It was
ofde awkward at first, she says. Some
nights she jest had t. lay an battle

night"
"Hey?"
Some nights, l say, she he'd t.

"Well, WE'LL"

The listener had got more than a
block away by this time, so he could
not hear quite as distinctly as be-
fore. But, though he hadn't heard
anything mentioned, he felt fairly sure
of the subject of the conversation.

DR.. Marade, the French inventor of
voice telegraphy, says that the reason
women can talk longer, and faster,
and harder than men is because their
larynges are narrower. He asserts
that there is need for a tremendous
amount Of power in talking with a
broad larynx-that an orator talking
to a big crowd does as much work as
a porter who shoulders 400 pounds.
On this basis there are several gen.
tlemen loose in the country who are
doing as much work as the average
railroad.

TURKISH WlFE's REVENGE ON
FAlTHLEss HUSBAND.
Subtle Poison Brought Quick End to
Woman's Faded Romance-Revela
ton of a Tragic Secret Of
the Harem.

A Turkish subject who married an
American man and lived in this coun-
try for six years has recently revisit
ed the land of her birth. She has been
describing for A%ppleton's. Magazine
some Of her experiences. Here is one
Of them:
"Chakende Hanum was the daugh-
tetr of Nazim Pasha. She was edu-
Gated in the western fashion. She
was as beautiful as an houri, and as
good as Allah's own heart. She was
given as a wife to Djamal Pasha, a
young and dashing courtier. They
were very much in love with each 9TH
er, and he promised her that she
should remain his first and only wife.
Their marital life was blessed with
two boys and n girl. Chakende
grew more beautiful as happiness be-
came her daily portion.
zone day, when she was returning
with her retinue from a visit she had
made in Stamboul, on. the bridge of
Galata, and in a closed carriage. she
saw her husband in company with a
foreign woman. That night when he
came home she questioned him, and
he only answered that the lady was
a foreigner. Chakende Hanum un-
derstood that her husband did not
wished to be asked any more ques-
lions. Early in the morning, however,
she sent for her brother, and from
him she learned what was generally
known.
She took a few of her slaves and
went to her country place. She stayed
there for several days, giving the stu.
alton her whole thought; then she
came back to her husband. She told
him that she knew the truth, that
she had thought the matter w and
had decided to give him back his word
as to her remaining his only wife,
Thus he could marry the foreign lady.
It was then that Djamal Pasha turned
her from Allah. He laughed at her,
and said that Mile. Roboul of the
French theatrical company was the
kind Of a woman that men loved, but
did not marry. Chakende Hanum said
nothing, but that very same day
went into her garden and plucked
roses from a laurel tree. You know,
young Hanum, what you can do with
those roses?"
A shiver ran down my back as ]
nodded.
A few nights later when Djama1
Pasha was about to retire, Chakende
Hanum prepared his sherbet for him
Her hand did not tremble, though he1
face was white as she handed it tc
him. 1t did not last long; Djamal
Pasha died from an unexplained NAL
ady; but Chakende Hanum kept on
plucking laurel roses daily. After q
little while they put her in her little
grave, too, five years ago."
We sat silent for awhile. The moon
had travelled fast and was now neal
the water, bridging the Bosphorus
with her moonglade. The garden, the
hills and the water changed with the
changing slant of the rays, and be-
came more wondrously enchanting
still, though that had not seemed pos
sfble before, and enthralled me with
the fascination of the east-the east
whose language and ways of dealing
with right and wrong had been alier

end that this amount would be enough to include

According TO the latest report. da ed January,

year per cent notes at n reasonable price TO pay
of the floating debt. The directors sold these
notes to the same bankers at r reduced price, and
reduced the option price Of the remaining S000O000
convertible bonds to a figure far below that at
which they were offered tc the public
This action Mr. Fay deemed unfavorahe to tho
