When quite girl old Mrs McCar'
thy's daughter took an opportunity and
emigrated to Australia. Years passed
by. but, although In her letters Matilda
never referred to the probability OF her
return to the land which gave her
birth, still the old lady cherished the
idea that she would some day come
back.
This belief received a somewhat rude
shock, therefore, when a few weeks
ago Matilda announced in her letter
that she was about to be married to a
native of her adopted country. 1t was
great disappointment, for in Mrs
McCarthy's opinion the only mer wor-
thy of serious consideration were Irish
men, and to help to dull the knowl-
edge of her grief the old lady accom-
panied one of her sons to fair which
was being held in the neighborhood. II
so happened that a wild beast show
was one OF the principal attractions
and she was vastly interested in the
occupants of the various ornamental
cages.

Embroidered and lace-trimmed lin

longer necessary to have always the
most expensive sort of waist. For the

played, the regulation tailor-made bod

Home QuarreIs.

The home should never be the scene
of quarrel. A man cannot afford to
quarrel with his wife; it is undignifed-
A woman cannot afford TO quarrel with
her husband; it is unladylike. Parents
cannot afford to quarrel in the presence
of their children; il gives them wront,
views of life. and weakens their respect
for home. Every quarrel leaves an ug-
ly scar. no matter how well it may be
patched up. Small differences must oc-
cur in every household. but they can
hardly be called quarreis- To quar-cl
with the person who stands nearest
and dearest to you is to put strain on
love that in the long run snaps it.
There is no sadder sigh than to see
two people who have grown so usei to
pickering that they do il almost me-
chanically. When man and woman
make up their minds to tread life's
path together they should make ur
their minds to make it as sunny path
as possible, and to avoid all the STUN
bling blocks to happiness that they pos
sibly can. Marriage is the best thing
in the world, but it cannot be improved
by quarrels. A quarrel brings out the
ugliest. meanest side of a persons ma
ture, and surely no one can find virtue
in anything that does that

Women abuse men merely to appear
original and Independent.
A man is at his best when he has a
purpose in being agreeable.
Men dearly love to be referred to as
an authority on odd questions.
The man most austere in business Is
usually most genial in private life.
A man talks about dress as though
he felt ashamed of the conversation.
Men want to be regarded as capable
of pointing out the errors of others.
Few women have the capacity for
carrying dates and events in the mind.
Women like to talk of the DAYS when
they had beaux galore-even IL they
never had them.
Every woman wants the world to
give to her the consideration she thinks
belongs to her sex.
When a woman reaches command
ing position she regards marriage as
the next best thing.

Many strange Indian tribes live

Nascoppie Indians are among these
tribes who have a peculiar custom in

of their number is dead the surviving

which they beg from the Hudson Bay
Company. In this box are placed a
loaded gun, powder horn, tobacco

DO WOLVES EAT MEN.

When chasing a deer he goes at a

oNE-ARMED CHAIRS IN USE.
Sort of First Cousins TO the Three
Legged Table.

Sort of First Cousins TO the Three
Legged Table.
Three-legged tables have long been
in use in restaurants where economy of
space is an object. The three-legged Ia
BILE is set with the end supported by
two legs against the wall, while the end
supported by a single leg is ON the
aisle.
With but single leg there it is much
easier for a man sitting at the aisle
end OF such a table to get his legs I'M
der it when he sits down and his legs
are then less cramped for room and it
is also easier for him to get his legs
out from under the table when he gets
up.
Now, to economize space and for the
greater convenience of patrons they
have in lunchrooms one-armed chairs,
these being used in places where the
customer walks up to counter and
selects his food and then carries it to
his food meanwhile on the fiat top Of
the chairs right arm, which is broad
ened out for this use like the broad
fiat-topped right arm of a writing chair.
With two arms, as originally built,
the lunchroom table chair took up more
room and comfortable as it might be
when one was settled it was rather
harder to get into. A man carrying a
place of crullers in one hand and a
cup of coffee in the other had to ex-
ercise little care in getting into his
chair without upsetting one or splitting
the other. But with the 0ne-armed
chair there is no such difficulty.
On this chair the left arm is cut
away entirely and so the chairs can be
set closer together. The user of such a
chair can get into it more conveniently
and then slide comfortably over to the
arm side, to the f1at-topped remaining
arm, On which he places his yiands--

Justice, as administered in Arizona
some years ago, formed the kernel of
many more or less amusing stories. A
man was sentenced to pay fine Of ten
dollars or spend ten days in jail. He
had only three dollars, and the court
accepted the amount in lieu of three
OF the days allotted for his imprison-
ment.
By some carelessness on the part of
the jailer, the man was detained in
jail for the full ten days. and when
Sc. free he demanded redress for his
wrongs.
You'd ought to have some allowance
and return made" the court admitted,
hut we don't see any way to do it un-
less you get sentenced again for some
tL;rg; then we could give you three
days for kind of rebate. That's the
only way to fix it up square"

One evening in the early part of
September. 1892. Major John Buchan-
an, commander of log fort situated
about five miles from Nashville, Teun.,
was awaiting an attack by Indians. The
fort was strong with blockhouses at
the four corners, and the people were
brave. Even the aged mother of the
commander slept within easy reach of
an ancient blunderbuss, which had not
been used since 1t was welded by her
husband in re Battle of the Bluffs.
The gun was SO rude and clumsy in
make that the soldiers laughingly call
ed 1t ''Gran,lmammy's pocketpiece.' -
Nevertheless the old dame believed she
could use it If need be.
The attack began, and the brave
young wife of the commander, kneeling
on the hearth, was pouring molten lead
into the bullet molds when she was
hailed in a loud voice by an impetu-
Gus Irishman, whose senses, says the
author of "Old Tales Retold," were
none the clearer for having taken a
horn of whisky.
Its me own gun that's no gud at

Lend me tn loan of me Grandmam-
my's pocketpiece and It's Jim C'Connor
will put the whole Injrn army to rout."
AS he would not listen to denial, the
old gun was finally placed st O'Con-
nor's disposal. 1t took four times as
much powder as the more modern
pieces. 0'Connor. having rammed In

up the ladder and thrust the blunder-

by the uproar going on all round He
descended the ladder and demanded
another charge. Four times in success,
sion he descended for ammunition. and
each time he put into the gun the full
amount OF powder and lead which II
required. In the belief that he had al
ready dealt death to the savages with
each shot, he pulled the trigger for the
fifth time.
"Hurray,' he shouted. This will
finish the row."

The Indians stood in awe of the white

such a degree that they relaxed their
efforts and acted with hesitancy

and profit by.
