Heart toHeart
Talks.
A POLITE HUSBAND.
By EDWIN A. NYE.-


This is an unusual tale of judicious
husband and a silly wife
An Illinois man learned somehow
that his wife intended to elope with
another man. He made no effort to
prevent the elopement. merely taking
care to intercept the train on which
the wife departed at the station where
she was to meet her gay admirer
The husband selected the psyche
logical moment when the couple ex-
changed the first greetings on the sta
ton platform.
He stepped up to the clippers and.
raising his hat. remarked in well
modulated voice:
Pardon me, am about to take this
lady home to her mother
The couple was taken by surprise.
The man in the case fidgeted a mo-
ment and faded away. The woman
was so dazcd she could offer no re-
monstrance.
She was hustled into a closed car
riage. Her husband mounted the box
with the driver And thus she was
conveyed back to her starting point.
The husband escorted her to her
mothers door and, upon the appear
ance of the mother, politely said:
Il beg your pardon, madam, but
have brought your daughter home"
He then went back to his work as If
nothing had happened.
Evidently this husband had sense
Of dramatic fitness that was opposed
to the usual melodrama of such occa-
sions. Certainly he did his act arts.
t4cally and without heroics.
The sequel? The wife later on got
a divorce on the charge of 'deser-
tion." the husband, with admirable
taste. refusing to make any defense in
court
The Lothario, brave esquire OF
| danes, never afterward appeared in
those parts.
| Sensible husband.
He very well knew he could not pre-
vent the elopement. Obstacles would
have made the woman more deter
mined.
Where was the use of making a fuss
over shallow. witless woman who
would leave a good husband to &C
away with an adventurer?
! The woman herself was saved from
a worse fate.
Without doubt the sort Of fellow
who would entice a wife would mis-
trent her sooner or later. That Il

capades

Water at Meals In Hot
Weather.

Do not drink water or other
LIQUIDS when you have food in
your mouth. for one part Of the
danger of drinking at meals is
that the fluid may wash down
into the stomach particles Of
food which have not been thor
oughly masticsted and impreg-
mated by the digestive juices in
the mouth
The second danger, especially
in summer, is that your drink
may be too cold, like ice water,
which SO many foolish persons
indulge in too much.
When you swallow fee water
, at mealtimes the water simply
paraIyzes the walls of the stoIn-
ach for a time and stops the flow
of gastric juices until the body
, warmth has overcome the chill
I and allows the juices to flow
once more. But II you chew
! your food well and DO NOT
DRINK VERY COLD FLUIDS
( there is no danger.

cause of the Bulgarian declaration of indie

posed by Russia which reconcilcd in sAncvel
manner the Turkish ciainr OF s2t0O0.O 600 and
the Bulgarian offer CT $16.O00,0O0
This plan is based on the war indemnity
of $l.60O,OO0 a year. which, In accordance
with the Berlin treaty of 1878, Turkey is
TO pay Russia for 100 years. These pay
ments bear no interest. The Russian pro-
posal is to remit them until the Turkish
claim against Bulgaria is satisfied. Rus
sia will collect instead 64OO,OOO from Bull
garia in similar installments. These pay
ments will bear interest and the amount of
this interest will recoup Russia.

proposal and tho Russian government has

MANILA, Feb. 1.-The Philippine as

first business to come before the body was

Governor Smith deplored the growing gulf
between the Americans and Filpinos in the
Philippines, and strongly urged that they
draw closer together and act in unity for
the best interests of both. His message
sharply criticises the municipal government

for American Admiral on
Omcial visit.

GIBRALTAR, Feb. 1.-For one hour this
morning the port of Gibraltar seemed to be
the scene of naval engagement at close
range. The American battleships that ar
rived yesterday were exchanging salutes
with the shore and the foreign warships in
the harbor that were omitted because Of
Sunday. The Connecticut saluted the port
and flag OF Vice Admiral Sir James Good
rich, the commander OF all the naval estab-
lishments at Gibraltar. with twenty-one
guns and when these had been returned
gun for gun from a shore battery and the
British battleship Albemarle other salutes
were fired to and answered by the Rus
sian, French and Dutch warships in port.
The reverberations were incessant for an
hour and clouds of gray smoke blew over
the waters.
The colliers promptly took up their posi-
tions alongside the Minneapolis. Vermont
and Kansas and before the soand of the
salutlng guns had died away the bands on
board these ships were playing rag time"
to liven up the dirty and arduous work Of
coallng.
Each ship requires from 200 to 1,6oo tons
to fill its bunkers for the homeward voy-
age.
The Rhode Island and New Jersey came
into port at 10 o'clock this morning and
were followed an hour later by the fourth
division, the Wisconsin. Illinois, Kearsarge
and Kentucky, which anchored outside the
breakwater. The third division, consisting
of the Louisiana. Missouri, Ohio and Vir-
ginla, brought up the rear and presented
a beautiful picture as they steamed in
glistening in the sunlight and their signal
flags cracking in the smart breeze. The
warship basin is too small to permit the
entrance of the entire American fleet; con-
sequcntly some of the vessels had to an
chor outside.
