WITH A LITTLE DIPLOMACY
Husband Put an End to Plans That
Meant the Breaking Up Of
His Home.

The romance OF little affair OF
the heart was completely annihilated
by an old-fashioned husband. Some
good natured friend, who hoped to
throw him into spasms by the start
ling information, told him that his
wife had made preparations to elope.
and that she only awaited the Arst Of
the month, when he who had PROM
ised to be the partner of her fight
would arrive with his months pay,
which was needed for travelling ex-
penses. Did that husband rave and
tear his hair. go to his wife and on
bended knees beg her to remain? No
Entering her presence, check book
in hand, with lighted cigar in his
mouth, he thus calmly addressed her
between the whiffs of smoke: umma.
| have learned that you have made
up your mind to travel, and that you
need little money for railroad fares.
etc. Your natural modesty prevented
your mentioning the matter to me; or
perhaps you wanted to surprise me
Name the amount you require, and
will fill out check for the sum, and
thank the man who has volunteered to
act as your escort
Seeing that he was SO willing to
get rid of her, she wouldn't crafty

LEFT TO FINISH HIS SLEEP
On Second Thought, Gambler Decided
He Would Not Put the 6ish-
op Out.

The bishop Of q southern diocese
was once making a missionary jour-
ney through Arkansas and the Indian
territory, and on his arrival at Match
es he said to the landlord of q hotel.
Il have been travelling for a week.
day and night. in a mail wagon. and
want comfortable room"
Sorry" said the landlord, but
don't believe there's q vacant room in
Natchez; there's horserace, =
Methodist conference and a political
convention in the city, and every
house is full up. The only thing l can
give you is q shake-down." Then OBJ
serving the bishops tired face, he
added, The best room in my house Is
rented to a noted gambler who usual
ly remains out all night and seldom
gets in before breakfast. II you will
take the risk. you shall have his
room; but If he should come in
therell be row, I'll promise you
that"
The bishop decided to take the risk.
About four o'clock in the morning the
gambler returned and promptly shook
the bishop by the arm.
Get out of here. or I'll put you
OUT" he shouted.
The bishop, the gentlest OF men.
raised himself on one elbow. so that
1t brought the muscles OF his arm
into full relief.
MY friend" he began quietly, be
fore you put me out. will you have the
kindness to feel of my arm?"
The gambler put his hand on the

The expression "halcyon> days" has
been handed down to us from the an

in an old legend that during the seven
days preceding and the seven follow

the halcyon, or kingfsher, brooded
over her young in a nest afioat on
the surface of the water and that dur
ing these IA days the seas would be
calm and safe for the mariner. Hence
the name "Halcyon Days." when, ac-
coring to Milton, Birds of color sat

They were seated by the f1reside
dreaming of the future when they
would be one; a winsome telephone
girl and her fiance. The small talk
finally drifted to the question as to
who should light the fire in the morn

the wife's place to get up and start
the fire, and let the poor, hard-worked
husband rest
After this declaration there was ST.

the girl thrust out her finger encir-
cled by ring, and murmured sweetly
but firmly: Ring off. please; you

Who Is Father of the American Navy?

to their respective merits in the COM
petition for the honor of being the
father of the navy"
Some time ago it was proposed to
place these statues face to face on
single site, but that was opposed by
the adherents of the heroes. Many
sites have been suggested. but up to
the present time there has been no
action looking to settlement of the
question. The statue of John Paul
Jones is now under way and a compe-
tition will soon be entered upon to de-
eide who will be the favored sculptor
for the making of the statue of Barry.
Work is now in progress for a stat
ue of Gen. Grant to be erected west
of the capitol grounds, but this will
not be completed before two years.
Next spring statues of John With
erspoon, a signer of the declaration of
Independence, and of Longfellov, the
poet will be presented to the govern
ment by memorial associations, and
tIey will be erected in this city.
Other statues which have been pro-
vided for by congress and will be
erected here in the near future are

Next Social Secretary of White House

One of her prominent pupils was
Mrs. John r. Mclean, and it is under
stood that Mrs. Mclean was instru-
mental in obtaining for Mrs. Relyea
the position at the White House for
which hundred social secretaries in
Washington have yearned. Mrs. Rel
yea was appointed to the war depart
ment from Connecticut on July 8, 1907.
She is a woman of culture and has
a wide acquaintance among the social
colony, not only in Washington, but
in New York and Newport. She is the
widow of Albert Relyea, formerly
chief of a division in the treasury de-
partment. who committed suicide sew
eral years ago.
Never before in the social history
mad the position of social secretary at
the White House been so important.
The privileges of the Office increased
and the only one which has not been,
accorded Miss Hagner up to date. for
the reason that it has been against
all social and official precedent, is that
of assisting Mrs. Roosevelt in the blue
room in receiving her guests on for
NAL occasions.

welt was invited to ride behind them
and as Mr.. Knox was driving away
from the White House the group of
newspaper men fell to specializing as
to why one of them had not had his
wits about him enough to ask the
names of the horses. One of the party
said their names were Highball and
Siphon. A serious minded chap there
upon wrote a story about it and sent
it to his paper. When it appeared
Knox was very angry and the upshot
of it was a retraction by the news
paper.
Another story that angered Knox
was to the effect that he had told the
late Senator Hoar that of course he
had quit the employ of the Carnegie
Steel Company before accepting Presi-
dent M"Kinley's offer of the attorney
generaisAip. He regarded it as an insult
to Mckinley to imply that he would
appoint man who would consider it
necessary to give assurance that he
had observed the ethics of the profes-

The United States troops are to be-

to the time of the inaugural ceremon-

to the capital.
Some of the picturesqueness of the
Roosevelt inaugural will be missing.
1t is understood that there will be no
rough riders present. Four years ago
they not only added much to the
parade as a parade, but they added a
great deal of joy to the inhabitants.
Some of them were new to the ways
of the capital city civilization and

Guards on Trains Increased to Prevent Smuggling of Arms Across the

Mexico City, Aug. 22.-A spe- cial dispatch received tonight states that more troops are being moved north to the vicinity of Galeana, where Gen. Bernardo Reyes has taken refuge. This last detachment was sent from San Luis Potosi and has gone to a place called Doctor Arroyo, where it is said that sympathizers of the Reyes party have threat ened to make trouble.
 The same dispatch says that customs guards on all trains running to the border have been doubled and in some instances tripled. This Is for the purpose of checking the reported snug gling of arms and ammunition across the American border Col. Juan Costillo recently went to Monterey to confer with Gen. Trevino on the matter and the dispatch of extra troops and the strengthening ot the guards was the result,
