Voiced His Sentiments.

The large proportion of voluntary
American exiles belongs to the fair
sex. but many of them insist on their
husbands accompanying them, and
these matrimonial martyrs, who come
under the heading OF the genus hen
pecked," would greatly prefer to live
in America. In this connection an
American consul told a story which
gives a picture of the hen-pecked hus-
band. 1t was a Fourth of July gath
ering in a large hotel and the cham
payne had passed around when the
consul. adressing Mr.. A.. who had
been nine years in Switzerland with
his wife without returning to Amer
lea. said: You must be delighted
with your stay abroad. as you have
remained so long"
Delighted be damned" replied Mr.
A. looking defiantly at his wife across
the table. 81 would rather live in
hell"
The words were uttered in a loud
voice and with feeling. and the gen
eral silence was broken by the speak
er's wife. who. smiling sweetly. said:
my husband is slightly exaggerating
the warmth of the place. but you
must know We come from Pittsburg." +"
Laughter saved the situation.

the San Francisco peaks.
These ancient volcanoes rise out of

lines around them.
Between $500 and $500 feet the
yellow pine is the dominant tree.
From $500 to 10000 feet the Douglas

A Tragic Incident.

druggist and his assistant were
sadly worried recently. A little girl.
probably six years old, wandered in.
sobbing bitterly. She was lost AS
long as she cried nothing could be
done, for she was the only one COM
petent to give the name and address
of the lost home. Working under this
theory the druggist fed her chocolates
to quiet her. 1t was of no avail, how
ever. for at each question the Sob
bling was resumed. The tears made
light streaks down the little choco-
late coated countenance.
Finally the mother found her baby.
She took the child from the store.
and as she stopped to wipe away the
visible signs of grief, she asked why
the druggist had not been told the
name and number. Here is what the
listening clerk heard:
81 w-w-w-was af-f-f-fraid he'd
l-l-l-laugh!"
The druggist realized he had wit.
