referred to his opera crush. You see
Hivling didn't care much for society
himself. He trailed along Just to
keep peace
When they were all ready for the
start that night, and Mrs. Hivling kept
remarking peevishly that they were
going to be late, as usual. she sup
posed, Hivling happened to notice that
his patent feathers looked sort OF
dingy. Even Mrs. Hivling admitted
that he'd better take time to dab q
little liquid polish on the fo0tgear.
Just as he was finishing the other
shoe he Strengthened up for q minute
and dropped q wee drop of the polish
on his shirt bosom. 1t was an infinitesi-
NAL particle. much smaller than the
ordinary pinhead Of commerce. and
wouldn't have mattered at all. But

wife, mildly.
That's all you see. hey? Well.

pretty quick, too. I'm here to state.
I'll just make this Internal shirt front

Whereupon Hivling proceeded as
his rufiied temper dictated. He took
the dauber and drew two broad lines
down over the bosom and two more
across-forming q double cross effect

All on account of that abominable. de-
testable temper of yours. Ooh! oh!
oh! it's just disgusting. the silly fool
things you do when some little thing
goes wrong" Then she went into
the other room and threw herself on
the lounge.
Hivling, of course, had cooled down
some by this time. His wife was
right. They would have to stay at
home. And Hivling well knew that 1t
would be many week before he
would be able to square himself for

But Hivling got out of 1t. He called

Alexander's Escape.

As a young man Alexander the Great
escaped death in a curious manner. A
great banquet was being held at Pella.
the capital of Macedonia. at which
were present the future conqueror Of
the world and his father, Philip.
During the feast one of the guests
proposed q toast and prayer offensive
to Alexander. WHO hurled goblet at
him. King Philip, angry at this out
rage, started up, drew his sword, and
rushed furiously upon his son; but
he had drunk SO deeply that before he
reached him he fell PROSTATE among
the terrified merry-makers.
Not q whit perturbed at this ex-
traordinary escape from death. Alex
ander retOrted: Here is a man pre-
pairing to cross from Europe into
Asia. who yet can not step surely from
one couch to another"

IN the Future.

The latest scheme is to set type by
wireless.
OF course there will be few occa
sions when this sort Of typesettins
can be utilized, but 1t should give the
intelligent composition feeling Of real
comfort to realize that when out Of
town he can hustle to the nearest
wireless station and set column OF
two Of type matter in the home ONCE
with all the usual typographical err
rors in evidence.
Possibly the newspaper plant OF the
future will be so scientifically
equipped that all the work connected
with It can be done somewhere else
and nobody will be required around
the premises except the cleaners and
the night Waterman.

Found In Salt Water.

II Richard Tague of South Amboy
N. j.. had followed the advice of the
popular song and told his troubles to
the p'leceman, he might not have
known so much in the long run, but
he would have been a sight happier
There had been q slight domestic
fracas because Tague had shown an
unreasonable jealousy. according to
his wife. and SO he was a-walking the
streets. pOndering whether he should
drown himself or 60 home and thrash
bis wife,
At this psychological moment sail
or-man crossed his path and In the
subsequent maneuvering they became
chummy Tague told his tale Of woe
the Ancient Mariner prescribed q
remedy. He was q salt of the old
school. one who had followed the sea
long before the days Of "tin-kettle
sailors" In his wanderings he had
touched many ports. met many strange
peoples. and a wealth of mysterious
knowledge was hidden beneath his
wind-wOrn cap. He whispered in
Tague's starboard ear: Tague shook
his head approvingly. and the twain
sheered OF.
That night when Mrs. Tague. a bit
tired by q two-h0nr Caudle lecture
slept heavily, her husband procured a
basin of salt water and placed her
hands in it. After which he lis.
tened For a time she Just babbled
Then her speech clarified and began
to spout. She told all the anxious
listener wished to know of her life
before she met him and since. So
. much. indeed. that he straightway filed
an application for divorce.
This strange uncorking property Of
salt, which we commend to the inves.
tigating eye of Prof. Hyslop and Sir
Oliver Lodge, must be looked into at
once. 1t holds In the present incom.
plete knowledge of IT, too great a
menace to all married men. The An.
cient Mariner didn't tell Tague how
brine affected the masculine tongue,
and Tague was too much concerned
with it's effect ON women to question
him about it. Until its absolute in
nervousness towards man is shown.
however, husbands will have to walk
warily. OF what avail will be the
tale of the sick friend, the lodge meet
ing, the unprecedented business activ-
ity at the Office. IL the-ahem-un-
truth of any or all these tales can be
determined by q judicious soaking of
the husbandly hands in salt water?-
