FIND woMAWs WIT UNCERTAIN.
AS when This Wife Failed 10 AppreeI
ate Her Husbands Pleasantly.

Don't always rely upon the ready
wit of a woman, said the man who is
sometimes pleased TO consider himself
an oracle. THAT ready wit business
is sometimes prone to get way off
For example, my wife and children
had been staying in the country for
several weeks and l was regular with
my letters, as every loving husband
should be. Finally on the day before
my wife was to start for home I con-
Guided my letter to her with these
words:
This viii be the last letter. I will
write to you for long, long time
When l got down to my Office the
next morning found telegram from
my wife waiting for me- What on
earth do you meang read the dispatch.
Later a registered letter came from
her. She had b1otted almost every
line with tears, What it was all about
could not imagine.
Then my telephone bell rang, and
when answered | heard my wife's
voice speaking over the long distance
phone.
Oh, John, said she Is that really

MUST ATTEMPT TO FIND OWNER.
Only Thing to Do When One Picks
Up Lost Property.

When one is On the public thorough
fare or in the street car or train or
boat and picks up an object that is
valuable, is 1t his?
True, he may find something which
is too small and trifing to warrant
searching to find the owner, such as a
handkerchief, pair of gloves, etc.
But when he finds something of value,
1t is not his until he has done every
thing in his power to find the owner.
The street railways and trains are
so systematized to-day that If, when
one finds an object of value, he returns
it to the company's representative, 1t
Is almost sure to catch up with It's
owner. Every person of intelligence
knows that the first place to inquire
for it is at the lost and found depart
ment.
When. however, one is on the street
and finds something which, If he lost
it himself, he would very much like
to have returned, there are the col
umns of newspaper in which to ad-
vertise.
If he fails to find the owner after
this then he can rightfully call it his
own and have a clear conscience, but
If he avoids looking over the lost and
found columns and fails to do his part
toward finding the owner he is almost
as dishonest as if he took the goods.

Washington the following winter, but
would remain abroad, where they had
gone early in the spring. The Washes
did come back, nevertheless, and the
big marble palace was again thrown
open to society. but there were no
more fancy dress balls.
Mrs. Mclean is of a distinct type
of beauty, her complexion being very
white and her hair coal black. She
wears large plumed hats OF an ex-
treme fashion and is particularly
partial to white She is something Of
the japanese type.
Edward Mclean, who started in to
practice law last year, was not in the
little parties given by the Washes
as often as some Of the other eligible
men OF Washington. and consequently
society was not prepared for the an
nouncement OF his engagement TO Miss
Walsh. Young Mclean was the de-
voted attendant OF the former Miss
Alice Roosevelt until her marriage to
Representative Nicholas Longworth
He had never, SO far as the social
sleuths could ascertain, paid really
marked attention to any other Of the
younger girls. His acquaintance with
his wife dates back several years.
Their marriage means the union of
many millions of dollars. as each is
