A smile iurked at the corners OF Mrs.
Lombard's mouth as she listened to
the plant of the school friend whom
she had not seen for more than ten
years. I'm afraid, dear" she said,
you'll have to reconstruct some OF
your plans. You see, married for
getful man too"
why. you told me not ten minutes
ago that your husband had never yet
forgotten your birthday or your wed
ding anniversary" cried her friend,
"and you told me you'd been married
nearly eleven years. That's ever since

abroad

~whsn lived In New York." writes
a former New Yorker from Berlin,
there was house near Central park
which should have borne the number
Is. but because Of the superstition OF
tho occupant permission was secured
to place the number liza or 15a over
the door I spoke Of the circumstance
few days ago and learned that the
thirteen superstition was more clearly
marked here. In the instance men
toned by me an individual was con-
cerned. Here It was the most impor'

The De Jones back lawn was 2 lawn
In name only. It was really an arid
desert-bald, so to speak-end In dry
weather It was always as dusty as q
motor track. To the establishment OF
Mrs. De smythe. who lived next door,
she one day saw her devoted husband
turning the garden hose upon the De
Jones' dawn"
well, l never" she exclaimed. I'm
sure wouldn't trouble to lay the dust
I'm the De Jones' back yard. John, es-
pecially as they are such hateful lot
of gossips. Small thanks you'll get for
your trouble anyway"
Hubby turned to his better half with
a smile which told Of mixed pleasure
and yindictiveness.
That's all right, my dear. Their
darling little Fido was washed snow
white this morning. Now he's out
there rolling about IKE a barrel and
rubbing the mud well into bis heecy

Women and sport"

When a big shoot takes place In the
coverts near one OF our country houses
the occasion is made sort OF society
gathering. The ladies OF the house
party grace It with their presence, and
other ladies Of the nsighborhood are
glad to be allowed the honor OF such
company. Thus a large and fashion
able party assemblies, and while each
beat Is in progress the girls and wom-
en- try to look on unmoved while a
wounded bare kicks and squeals upon
the ground for minutes which seem In
terminable to the sensitive onlooker
until the beat Is over and the dogs are
loosed to finish OF the cr1pples. And,
though the hare's piteous shriekips
makes It's case seem the worst, the
mere tumbnng over and over OF a
wounded bird Is a shocking sight to
see as the time passes and no one goes
forward to release It Of its nfe.-Lon-

sampI. Civil s.rvio. Examination.

This comes from Canada. A poll
ticIan there was appointed to posi-
ton which technically had to be occu-
pied by a lawyer, which the appointee
was not. In order to obyiate the tech
nicality q board Of examiners was APP
pointed to question him as to his
knowledge Of the law. The first ques-
ton by the board was. What do you
know about the lawT and the modest
response was, ITO tell the truth, l do
not know a single thing" Whereupon
the board intlmated that the question
ing was at an end and submitted re-
port on the examination, in which 1t
was gravely stated, I'VE have e1-
amined the appointee as to his knowl-
edge of the law, and to the best OF our
knowledge and belief he has answered
all the questions with entire correct
ness. "-Cincinnati Citizens Bulletin.

When Philadelphia leased Its gas
works ten years ago, 1t retained one
plant which serves the Tacony and
Holmesburg districts. In recording the
action Of a meeting Of the citizens Of
these districts, when committee was
appointed to carry their grievance to
the mayor, the Philadelphia Record
says:
'The plant was built twenty-five
years ago and is declared to be in mis-
cradle condition, affordlng an made
quate and inferior supply OF gas, al
though a handsome profit Is returned
to the city each year by Its operation.
The capacity Of the plant has not been
improved to keep pace with the growth
Of that section of the city. Frequent
breaks In the mains leave the house
bolders without gas"

PALUNACY.
BY JOHN KrNpRIcK BANGS.


The greatest invasion Of the rights
Of private parties as yet recorded Is
alleged to have occurred recently at
Athens. N. Y, where, according to
dispatch from the local correspondent
pf New York paper. a citizen I'M
tnown, dissatisfied with the quality OF
the tar pavements, covered them with
feathers, with the usual result. This
IL the first time in the history OF
American municipalities that a town
has been tarred and feathered. We
hope the tendency VIII stop with this
beginning, for we should not like to
wake up some morning to find that
our chosen city had either been lynch
ed or ridden upon a rail.

The latest report Of the government
telegraphs and telephones OF Great
Britain shows a loss for the year OF
S5,000O00. The proportion OF this loss
properly borne by the telephone de-
partment is an indication that, az far
as the taxpayers Of Britain are con-
cerned, talk is no cheaper than 1t used
to be.

Orange, Tex, is one Of the latest
towns to come in out OF the wet That
city constructed a small waterworks
system some years ago and operated 1t
for several years prior to 1902 at q
clear loss. In that year the city en-
tered into @ lease with private COM
pany, and the other day the contract
was revised and renewed for twenty
years. We are glad to note that at
least one Orange recognizes lemon
when it sees It and refuses to allow
itself to be squeezed any longer.

During his speech the Presi-
dent said: 1--WE must condemn
the woman who, whether from
cowardice or coldness, from sell
fish love of ease or from lack oi
all true womanly quality, refuses
to do Alright the great and allies
sential duties of wifehood and
motherhood. No human being
has a greater title to respect than
the mother who does her full
duty, who bears and rears plenty
of healthy children, so that there
shall be National growth and not
National decadence, so that in
quality and in quantity our peo-
pie shall increase"

back to better conditions.
"There has not been a Spring
in many years when the prospect
for crops was better than now.
The farmer has a favorable labor
market. For years he has not
been able to get labor. Now he
has his pick of it.
"The problem of the railroads
getting money to carry on their
necessary improvement and ex-
pansion is behind us. The good
railroad properties can get all the
money needed and will continue
to get it."
