A CLEVER WIFE

A well known man in theatrical

This man is a gourmet of no mean
ability and prides himself on de
vising new dishes. This Is the
story as he told i'll
At dinner the other night they
asked me for something new in
the way of fancy food. When
got home | told my wife what
ordered.
"First," said, 81 had an olive
put in a woodcock, then the wood
cock put in a pigeon, the pigeon
put in a partridge, the partridge
put in "a pheasant, then tied up
with bacon and cooked"
"Well," said my wife, "why
don't you go on and inish?"
"That is all. There was nc
more"
"Oh, yes, there was" she ans
wered. '"Then you put that into

Guaut and hollow-eyed, it lay in
the clutches of that dread visitor
from the Great Unknown. dashed
by the scorpion tongues of an ac-
cusing conscience, it struggled in
the last agonies of death. A nat
ural respect and compassion for
the feelings of our readers forbid
that we speak further of that awfu !
hour. But when all was over and
the Stafford Social aud Literary
Club lay stark and cold, far re-
moved beyond the repentance OF
earth, those who had come to offer
their last ho mage and respect were
held in the awe and dread that
comes only from contact with the
infinite Beyond.
The last sad rites were per-
formed late in the evening of De-
cember 4tb. Attended only by the
few who had witnessed its sad de-
mise, it was borne to its last rest
lag place. The ceremony was
brief and Internal, but associated
with it were many sad and bitter
memories. The pail bearers were
Misses Robinson and Walker and
Messrs. Smith and Wardlaw, while
the only mourners present were
Mr.. and Mrs. Ringer, Miss Morris
and Mr.. Paxton At the close OF
this solemn and sacred occasion,
these members wended their way
homeward. haunted by the ex'
pressive but reproaching lines:
"Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these. 1t might have been"
To the members who did 30
much toward Fastening the untime-
ly death of the deceased Club, we
have no word of reproach or con-
demnatiou, but to those who wish
to strew their garlands on the
grave of one beyond the ministra-
tions of earthly hands, we desire
to give notice that on the evening
of Friday, December 18th, in the
home of Mr.. Ringer, funeral SER
vices of consolation and respect
will be conducted by the Rev,
Colum bus Wardlaw. During the
services the history of the Club
will be recounted and all friends
are requested to attend. At the
close Of the services the business
of the Club will be disposed of.
