A. prominent clergyman in the East

had no intention of doing any such
thing. He learned from the woman
that her husband, being drunk and
1isorderly the night before, had been
locked up. "Oh! what shall do?"
walled the woman. Il am sorry for
you," said the sympathetic clergyman;
but why don't you try to make your
home more attractive, and then, in
stead of going to spend his evenings
at the alehouse, he would stay at
home?" Pm sure l do my best to

ADDED THE IMPORTANT PART.
Youth Supplied What He Considered
Essential Thing In Note.

A freshman out at East high school
was kept in one great heat of excite

campaign b.. reason OF the fact that
his father was candidate for the
city council-a winning candidate, as
things turned out
The morning after the election the
East high school lad was so worn out
from the excitement of the occasion
that he couldn't get to school. His
father being in an agreeable mood,
told him he might as we'll just remain
at home that day and rest up.
The next morning his mother gave
him note, to excuse his absence.
Thomas has been so interested in
his fathers candidacy for council that
he didn't get any sleep election night

day." was the substance of the note.
But Thomas or whatever his name
was, thought the note was incomplete.

Therefore, prior to turning the note

VARIOUS RULES FOR LONGEVITY.
Prominent Frenchmen Have New
Ideas as to Best Methods.

Galipaux, the French actor, laughs
at the old precept of early to bed
and early to rise" How can man
do these things if he is an actor? And
as to the advice to avoid disagreeable
emotions, you might as well tell a
man who has dyspepsia that the best
way is to take no notice of it. Such
is Galipaux's opinion; nevertheless he
believes in a certain regularity of life.
He has his table set for dinner at
seven O'clock. Even if he is not in
the hcrse the dinner is served as
usual. He often finds the knowledge
that the meal will be served at that
hour without fail is an inducement to
him to hurry home, when otherwise
he would not trouble himself to do SO.
Gen. Gallifet, who even as far back as
the early sixties received fearful
wounds, from which it seemed hope
less to suppose that he would recover.
has still the same elegant figure and
the same dashing style as in youth.
His rules are absolute sobriety, never
read the papers, laugh at death, but
have terror of fools"

Why the Policeman is Dislik.d.


Many telephone messages that come

are sent by women, according to the
New York Times.
They want policeman hurried up

able" said one officer. Maybe they
want him to look up an absent hus-
band, or maybe there is a suspicious
person prowling around the neighbor-
hood, or noisy quarrel going on next
door, or a dog bowling in the back
yard, or piano going at unseemly
hours, All these things and hundred
others are sufficient to send a nervous
woman to the telephone to ask why in
the name of all that Is wonderful our
men don't attend to their duty and
stop such unlawful proceedings. OBJ
viously 1t Is impossible to respond to
all those calls. The most active po-
liceman alive can't put muzzle on
every dog that takes it into his head

he walk right into mans house and
order him to stop nagging at his wife.
Women with the telephone habit, how.

will follow the custom adopted by all
newspapers of charging for resolutions
of coincidence, respect, etc. Heretofore
this has not been the rule with the pap
er but as the printing of these resolu-
tions entail more or less expense and
trouble, it is only reasonable that this
course be taken. While it has not been
