Sad to relate, there came quarrel
recently, so the cables say. Mrs.
Leeds had engaged passage for New
York, and Mr.. Cutting was coming
home by the same boat. When, how
ever, the widow found Mr.. Cutting was
to be fellow-passenger she cancelled
her engagement-at least that is what

After returning to France, 1t Is said.
Mrs. Leeds made up her mind to re-

Immediately began plans for a social
campaign in London under the tutelage
of her friend, Lady Paget. 1t would

JOKE WAS ON THE ORATOR
Ringing Periods Awakened Somno-
lent Citizen, But He Would Not
Stay to Listen.

John Kendrick Bangs, the author,
who spends so much of his time at his
home on the Maine coast that he has
become citizen of that state, took
part in last years political campaign,
and had many interesting experiences
on the stump. He admits that in one
instance the joke was on him.
At this particular meeting he was
the third speaker, following two local
spellbinders to whom the crowd lis
tened patiently in anticipation of the
"big gun" of the occasion.
The evening was warm, and while
the second speaker was holding forth
a fat member Of the band, occupying
seat directly in front of the stage,
yielded to the somniferous influences
and snored loudly
That's one on you," chuckled Mr..
Bangs to his fellow orator, as the lat
ter closed his peroration and retired
to his seat at the rear of the stage.
Nov watch me wake him up!"
Sure enough, scarcely was Mr..
Bangs well under way before the fat
man opened his eyes, stared wildly
for an instant-and bolted for the
door!-Lippincott's

has been tried and

Young Murat, who can adorn a
drawing room, but is somewhat shy
Of practical accomplishments, saw the
tempting bait with longing eye.
Those $10.000,O0O looked like real
ready money. They were attached
to a buxom widow. What could be cas-
fer for a prince?
Yet 1t wasn't so easy, after all. The
widow looked upon the prince and
refused to buy. furnished titles were
worthless In her eyes. All the dis
tinction they could secure was too
cheap for her fortune; besides, she
had the temerity to prefer plain Ameri-
cans.
Therefore the young Murat who
a-wooing went got the mitten. It was
hard luck, just after the duke of Bra
ganza got such rich plum, to be
turned down. Yet 1t was all his own
fault. Perhaps IL he had been par
ticular enough to notice something Of
the character Of the woman he wanted
to marry, he would have spared him

ring is drawn down over the handle
of the broom and the spring affords
resistance which makes the ring fit
firmly. All that is necessary, then. is
to hang the broom up on the kitchen

or woodwork, preferably the latter,
because of its greater stability. This
keeps the broom proper free from dirt
