Mans Precious Rib.

A young lady having asked a sur
geon why woman was made from the
rib of a mar in preference to another
bone, he gave her the following gal
liant answer:
''She vas not taken from the head
lest she should rule over him; nor
from the feet lest he should trample
upon her; but she was taken from his
side, that she might be his equal;
from under his arm, that he might
protect her; from neal his heart, that
he might cherish and love her.

Prosperity in Mexico.

Mexico is prosperous under the gold

the outcome Of increased business

A BREATHING SPELL
Langdon, after several years of eff
fort, had got recognition for textile
in London, but that was about all. He
hadn't succeeded In unloading any
great amount Of it on the English. So
1t was rather because l neglected
nothing than because l was hopeful Of
results that / had made a point Of
telegraphing to London news Of my
proposed suit. The result was a little
trading in textiles over there and a
slight decline In the price. This fact
was telegraphed to all the financial
centers on this side of the water, and
reinforced the impression my lawyers
announcement and my own bear
letter were making.
Still, this was nothing, or next to
it. What could I hope to avail against

Republican Idea of Reform.

and the cabinet are on the stump and
special agents from all the depart

for the election Of delegates to the

is reform with a vengeance, but it is

FRIENDLY MONKEYS.

| I have read somewhere a statement
that the anthropoid apes prefer our
company to that of their fellow monkeys
/ of lower degree, and I saw it proved
once in Calcutta. The late w. Rutledge.
for many years the leading animal
dealer there and mine of natural his
tory information, had a young one in
his yard, and at my request opened its
cage one day to let it choose it's So
ciety. when, quite disregarding the 9TH
er monkeys, it ilnmeditely came over
to him and climbed into his lap.
I A fair sized female we had at the
Calcutta zoo also was a most affection
ate creature. When I paid visit to
her she would always put her arms af-
fectionately around my neck, and while
being caressed and played with would
drop any food offered by other visitors.
Another specimen of the same sex
showed the less amiable side of it's char
acter by long refusing the donations Of
one member of the society because on
one occasion he had first given some
thing to the other monkeys in the same
house.
But think it was on my very first
introduction to the orang that the hid
hen humanity of the creature most i'm
pressed me. This was many years ago
when Abraham Bartlett was at the Lon
don zoo; he gave me a private inter-
view with a little orang which had just
arrived. The first thing the little imp
did was to climb on my knee, take off
my hat and put it on it's own head, after
which it proceeded gravely to pinch one
of the superintendent eyelids In short
it examined us with a scientific Curl
osity which in a lower animal was de-
cidedly impressive. This little man of
the woods could not have chosen a
more striking way of claiming kinship
so often denied. - Pathological and

SOME OTHER REASON

Miss Vesta Victoria, the English
mucis hall artist whose song of Tilted
| bride, Waiting at the Church." is as
popular in America as it was in Eng
land, said at a dinner in New York:
"A clergyman, hearing the song at
the Tivoli in London, wrote me letter
of congratulation from Stoke Pogis.
He said he adored Waiting at the
Church. and he told me of a jilting
that actually happened in his parish.
HE said that he had an appoint
ment to marry a couple at on GER
tain afternoon. He appeared duly, and
the bride appeared, but not the BRIDE
groom. The clergyman and the lady,
silent and embarrassed, waited in the
quiet church from 4 till 6. Then they
sadly departed.
"A week later the same couple wrote
to the clergyman again, appointing an
other afternoon at 4 for the ceremony.
''And again the clergyman and the
bride were on hand duly, and again the
groom failed to turn up.
Gas the two waited, time passed
slowly in the still and empty church

sounded, tt en- 6.

LuMINous coMMENT.

The late Isidor Wormser, the million
aire banker of New York, laid the foun-
dation of his business success as a
clothier in San Francisco. An aged San
Franciscan said of him recently:
"Mr. Wormser was a shrewd man. IF
you laid proposition before him, he
saw at a glance whether it was good or
bad. true or false, and in an epigram-
matte and Illuminating way he passed
Judgment on it.
For instances:
Il once heard a man explaining
palmistry to Mr.. Wormser. The man
was an ardent palmist. He insisted
that the lines in the hand were as
trustworthy as the lines in the Bible.
He said that the wise everywhere be-
lieved in the palmist's science.
Now here, he went on, opening his
hand. here is the life line. This line
indicates infallibly how long you will
live'
Yes said Mr.. wormser. Isn't it
funny, though, that the life insurance
companies pay no attention to it?'''

THE OFF HORSE

Charles P. Neill. the United States
labor commissioner, is interested in the
various charitable associations that
send the children of the poor to the
country during the hot weather. In
New York the other day he told a
story about one of these children.
There was a little boy" he said,
whom the Country Week Association
Of Philadelphia put on a farm in Au-
gust One morning the little fellow
took a walk to the village three miles
away, and as he stood IN front of the
postoffice, a farmer got down out OF
his wagon and said:
"'Hey, sonny, ketch holt O. that

PARDoNABLE ExAGGERAT1oN

Governor Stokes of New Jersey was
laughing over the report that he had
been mobbed in Trenton for unfairly

Jersey statesmen.
THAT story" he said, ''was exagger-
ated. The reporters got excited and
lost sight of the truth a little. Excited
people often exceed the truths limits,
but they are not much to be blamed.
Thus, last Fourth of July, I heard
an old veteran talking about the war.
More and more excited grew the old
man. His thin, tremulous hands
struck the table resounding whacks.
A queer flush stained his gray and
sunken cheeks. His wagging white
beard was all dishevelled.

You could live in just such house as
that if you'd write as we publishers
