QUITE THE THING NOW.

When a husband finds out he's de-
fled to his face
He should have not the slightest
compunction
About hurrying out to the handiest
judge
And securing an iron-clad injunc-
ton.
A man in st. Louis started the
fad. His wife had the t'hello" habit
and was wont to call him up at the
office In preference to washing the
dishes. His boss warned him in a
way that left no doubt in his mind
that either his usefulness to the
firm OF the telephone calls must
cease. He was desperate and as the
lady refused to listen to reason he
hit upon the injunction idea. The
judge. a married mar himself,
granted the writ like he enjoyed it.
This seems to- be a much simpler
and more painless way to secure
the enforcement of the promise to
obey clause of the marriage cere-
mony than to throw things. 1t
should become popular.

NO MORE DEALING

breaking off of diplomatic relations. There is now no official
channel of communication between the two governments Score
tary Knoxs note to the dismissed diplomat is reassuring to the
people of Nicaragua and to the South American republics as to
the intentions and purposes of our government. 1t is an indirect
reply to the infammatory statements sent out by Zelaya to the
effect that the purpose of the United States was to forcibly annex
Nicaragua. Moral aid can now be given to the popular uprsino
against Zelaya, and perhaps its leaders will be in a position soon
to hand Zeaya over to our government to be punished for his
great crime in numbering two American citizens.

FOR A GOOD BOY.

A bell boy who was nice to an aged
crouch with an i~ngrowing habit of
not tipping anyone has been left
$4,000 by said crouch. If this leg
acy serves to make bellhops really
hop for anything other than a
prospective tip it will do a lot more
than $500 0 worth of good. But it
won't be long, If something of the
kind doesn't happen again soon, be-
fore the lesson of the legacy wears
off.

Civil Service Delay.

To the Editor of the Star:
Sir-Several letters having re-
Gently appeared in the columns of the
EVENING STAR bearing on the
delay, linger and wait methods be-
ing applied to the civil service lit
igation by the Court of Errors and
Appeals, I take the liberty Of also
protesting, by letter. through the
courtesy of your columns, against
this apparently unjust and unwar-
ranted delaying of a decision which
should be handed down with all
due promptness.
If this law is unconstitutional, as
many believe, or Is strictly within
the limits of the constitution, as
others contend, on what grounds can

durance which was more or less
vile. This Is not as it should be. II
fuency of conversation is to be the
standard of character late at night
a man with an impeachment in his
speech or one stricken dumb with
terror might be liable to arrest,
while another with several thou
sand dollars worth OF stolen
jewelry in his pocket might be so
engagingly frank in a conversa-
tional way that he would be per-
mitted to go on his way rejoicing.
It may be urged that the unfor-
tunate prisoner might have en-
ployed the sign language or written
his nswer to the policeman ana
thus saved himself much trouble.
But perhaps the policeman didn't
believe in signs and even q deaf
mute in danger of arrest cannot be
expected to carry a note book
around on a cold night like a stage
reporter. Policemen should be told
gently but firmly that some men re-
fuse to get wordy for reasons other
than obstinacy.

A NEW STATION
FOR RAILROAD TRAVEL

line to connect with the main line at Harrison, where Newark pas
sengers are to be transferred to through trains, does not carry out
the ngcherished promise of a direct electric rapidtransit line
through to the heart of Manhattan. The new arrangement will only
duplicate the convenience of travel at the Market street station
with an electrifcation of the road to the proposed terminal. The
promise is held out, however, that in the near future electric trains
will be run direct from Park place to Manhattan. 1t may be
observed that a station on the site indicated will have an important
bearing on the trolley question. A line through Park place, and
even Centre street, is made inevitable by the new enterprise, while
much of the travel to and from the Market street station will be
diverted to Park place, thus in a measure relieving the congestion
of cars at the Four Corners.

WALL AND FLOOR.

The wall paper in small or low
rooms is always the first c~onsidera-
ton. A plain cream or white paper
is usually the best possible magnifer.
For just as a woman is apt to look
stout in a white frock and slim in a
black one, SO a DON will expand un-
der a light color scheme and shrink
under q dark one.
The pretty striped papers, which
are so often chosen as being suitable
for fats, have a way of making a
small room very box-like.
The second great consideration Is
naturally the floor covering, and here
q wonderful effect of space may be
obtained in even the smallest room
by choosing a plain dark effect. Many
people object to felt carpets on the
ground that they catch all the dust
and show every mark, but she may
plead in return that two minutes
cleaning will render them as new and
spotless as the most faddy housewife
could desire. Another virtue is that
any rugs or mats look we'll on them,
from real Persians to modest Deccan
rugs, or fine fbred Japanese mats

IDOG A COMPANY.

We had a Great Dane dog, which
at the time of which I write was
about a year old, says a contributor
to an exchange. Kaiser was intelli-
gent and was anxious to serve his
master and mistress. Kaiser made
himself useful by acting as escort for
women visitors on their return home
from our house in the evenings, and
was always alert and ready when lad
les were in the house.
On one occasion his patience was
sorely tried. Kaiser was tired and
sleepy and retired early to his pallet
in the summer kitchen, but now and
then he would come into the library,
greet the visitors in a canine fashion,
and return to his bed.
Finally the dog came into the IL
brary, confronted our visitors n
barked fercely. They, of course,
could not understand his actions. My
mother then explained to the ladies
that the dog expected to accompany
them home and was getting tired of
waiting. The ladies laughingly con-
sented to humor our dog and left the
house, followed by Kaiser, who saw

panes, wherever she could reach,
though mamma had told her it made

day.
Mamma came in after a busy time
in the city, to help Ethel get in bed.
She was ready, and looked sweet and
fair in her white gown and rosy,
scrubbed cheeks. After a little good
night talk, mamma said, Nov your

But Ethel didn't want to say her
prayers and a little coaxing made her
confess that she thought God
wouldn't want to hear them.

awakened when the cock crew. Sew

noise anne at 3.15. This odd fact
was spoken Of on the hotel veranda.
and when the guests heard the bird
thereafter they usually looked at
their watches to see if he was on
time. J.
Night after night he was right to
the minute. Once a guest looked at
his timepiece and it indicated only
3.14.

said to himself. He had come to

which was wrong, however, for ev-
