The Crime of a Wife.

The hearing room of the Frant and
Master street police station was crowd
ed with the curious the other morning
when a young negro woman was haul
ed before Magistrate Scott, says the
Philadelphia Times.
What is your name " asked the
magistrate.

"and what kind of luck brings you
here?"
bad luck" said Annie. That's my
husband. Don't know what he done it
for"
The magistrate turned to the hus-

husband
'Vagrancy?" said the Judge. "Hov
do you make that out? Does she no

Yes" said the husband, "but sh,

Jerome S. McWade, the wealthy Dull
nth sociologist, was talking at an
Easter dinner, about the American
heiress.
"She is beautiful and brilliant and
all that" he said, but, with her mil
lions, she is Internally independent
The penniless American youth who
weds her has hard time of it. He IS
put away in a year or so. Hence
from his point of view, the foreign
nobleman is welcome to her, thank
you. She is no Easter egg.
"The penniless nobIeman's title
holds his end up. The penniless Am
erican's end sinks, He is always
afraid of being turned out in the cold.
He can't call his soul his own.
Il know one of these poor chaps,
married to a Philadelphia heiress-she
has divorced him since to take on a
banker-who once got wrecked at sea.
But he was picked up floating on a
spar, and from the first port wired to
his brother:

A man awoke one night with a
toothache, says the St. Louis Star.
He groaned, he turned and twisted ;
he howled, he sat up and lay down
again. He arranged his pillow and
pressed it against his face with another
groan
His wife slept on and never moved.
He wanted attention, he wanted
sympathy, he groaned again.
Still she slept.
Injury added to the pain; it wasn't
treating a fellow right to sleep like
that when he was suffering with a
painful tooth, and he called her name
Still she slept
He had groaned three times as
loud as he could, and she didn't
awake.
Then the baby in its crib in another
room sighed softly in it's sleep
The woman was on her feet and
standing beside its crib, anxious-eyed
in an instant.
iAnd I actually thought" said the
man, that she loved me the most"

Listen to the Water-Mill;
Through the liye-long day
How the clicking of its wheel
Wears the hours away.
Languidly the Autumn wind
Stirs the forest leaves,
From the field the reapers sing
Binding up the sheaves;
And a proverb haunts my mind
AS a spell is cast,
The mill cannot grind
With the water that is past"
Autumn winds revive no more
Leaves that once are shed,
And the sickle cannot reap
Corn once gathered;
Flows the ruffied streamlet on,
Tranquil, deep, and still,
Never gliding back again
To the water-mill;
Truly speaks the pToverb old,
With a meaning vast
THE mill cannot grind
With the water that is past"
Take the lesson to thyself
True and loving heart;
Golden youth is fleeing by,
Summer hours depart;
Learn to make the most of life,
Lose no happy day,
Time will never bring thee back
Chances swept away!
Leave no tender word unsaid,
Love while love shall last;
THE mill cannot grind
With the water that is past"
Work while yet the daylight shines,
Man of strength and will!
Never does the stTeamlet glide
Useless by the mill;
Wait not till to-morrOw's sun
Beams upon the way,
All that thou canst call thine own
Lies in thy to-day;
"The mill cannot grind
With the water that is past"
Power, the wasted hours of life
That have drifted by!
o the good that might have been,-
Lost, without sigh!
Love, that We might once have save
BY single word,
Thoughts conceived, but never penned
Perishing unheard:-
Take the proverb to thine heart,
Take, and hold it FAST
The mill cannot grind
With the water that is past

today by the Senate Privileges and
Elections Committee on the strength
of the resolution lately passed by both
houses Of the Wisconsin Legislature
asking the Senate to investigate
1t Is impossible for the committee to
ignore this resolution, in view Of the
action on the Lorimer case.
Subcommittee To Decide.
Accordingly, 1t was decided to turn
the whole matter over to a subcommit-
tee Of five, to be named by the chair
man, Senator Dillingham;. This SUBJ
committee will probably be headed by
Senator Hepburn of Idaho and its
members will probably consist of Sem
ators Hepburn, C1app, and Sutherland,
and Bailey and Paynter. Senator Oh
yer may be a member.
The subcommittee is not to investi-
gate the election Of Senator Stephenson,
but is to examine the testimony and the
documents in the case and report to the
main committee whether the Senate
should investigate the election. In case
the subcommittee favors Investigation,
1t will so report to the main commit
