who could. give him no encouragement, al.

hanging out as long strings on the hooks as

term we are to understand that as fast as a
compositor sets an amount of copy given
him, the galley of type is proved by taking
an impression on piece of paper with a
roller or press made for that purpose, and the
proof sheets are called strings or "dupes" As

He was getting along finely at the Courant
office, and the sums he, was sending home to
his parents grew larger each week, when he
found that one of the compositors had con.
ceived apparently a strong dislike for him.
This was surprise to Tim. as he was sure
he had done nothing to iniure the man, who
had worked there several years, and been
considered the fastest type-setter in the
place.
The enmity of the latter, however, became
so marked that it was the talk of the rest,
and Tim became anxious about it,

In spite OF his ,endeavors to avoid trouble
with Mr.. Jimson, the latter's conduct became
more and more unbearable. until at last the
crisis came.
1t had been an unusually busy day. The
governors message had come in late, land, in
order to give it in the afternoon edition, the
eompositors had 70 do their best;
sciously compelled Slug o to do his utmost. in
order to show string in keeping with his
boast Of being the Offices champion.
On this particular afternoon the copy had
been cut into, small takes, and the type had
clicked merrily until the busy scene was
ended.
Then while the foreman saw that the form
went to press all right, the hard-working com
positors began to run up their dupes to see
how much had been done during the final

Tim, as might be expected, was greatly

that the type claimed by Mr.. Jimson really
belonged to him, but how the slugs had be.

DIVORCE IN ANCIENT ROME.
Ono Woman Had Eight Husbands In
EiYn Years.

Five years.
1--WE are assured by Seneca" says
the historical Inge, that there were
women in ancient Rome who counted
their ages not by their years, but by
the husbands they had had. Juyena
tells Of one woman who had married
eight husbands In five years. Divorce
was granted on the slightest pretezt
Many separated merely from love OF
change, disdaining to give any reason,
like Aemilius paulus, who told his
friends that he knew best where his
shoes pinched him
Rich wives were not much sought
after by wise men. Their complete
emancipation made them difficult to
manage. Accordingly, since both r1ch
and poor wives were Objectionable, the
large majority Of men never married
at all. In most cases Roman BRIDE
groom knew practically nothing OF bis
wife's character until after marriage.
Marriage for the Roman woman
meant a transition FROM rigid seclu-
sion to almost unbounded liberty. She
appeared rs matter of course at her
husbands table whether be had com
pany or not She could go where she
liked, either to the temples or ISIS
and Scraps or to the circus and am
phitheater She had her OWE troops
of slaves, over when she ruled With
