NOT OVERCOME BY SORROW
hearts Affection Satisfied Him
on One Point.

Alphonse Marion of Paris, a
young man of independent means.
has found a novel way Of testing his
fiancee's affection, with the result
that the engagement is now broken
off.
He called on the girl, Mile. Suzanne
Roix, and after a few minutes con-
versation, during which he affected
great mental depression, he asked her
for drink Of water. AS ne took the
glass from her hand he produced a
tiny phial from his pocket, and, emp
tying the contents into the water,
drank 1t off before she could hinder
him. His face then contracted and he
sank a helpless mass on the floor. He
had only time to beg his sweetheart's
forgiveness before he expired, as she
thought.
Unfortunately for Suzanne, Al
phonse was not even unconscious, and
he was able to watch the effect on her
of his own death. Without the slight
est show of sorrow she fastened to
the telephone and rang m the police
station to say that a suicide had been
committed in her apartments, and beg
ging that the body might be removed
as soon as possible.
This was too much for Alphonse,
who promptly resurrected himself and
left the house, after telling his former,
sweetheart what he thought Of her.

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO MOVE
These Few Little Hints May or May
Not Prove 70 Have a Prac-
teal Value.

Never order the moving van TO be
at your door before 1900 a. m. 1t
annoys father to have his bed carried
into the street while he is still We
ing t.
In packing up always stow away
first fathers razor, shaving brush and
mug, change OF linen and fancy vests
Bury them at the bottom of the larg-
est packing case beneath the books
and the bed quilts. This will cause
father to 20 without shaving for a
week, and the new neighbors Will take
him for one Of the regular moving van
men.
BE sure to have your best pieces Of
furniture taken out Of the van first
and into the house last. For by your
furniture are you judged. However,
If you have no best furniture, or II
your rent is overdue, move at night.
Be sure TO tell your husband where
you are moving to. This saves trouble
and annoyance. Many a man has left
home in the morning only TO discover
when he returned at night that his
wife had moved during the day with
out leaving her change Of address. Be
fore home can be a source Of JOY and
comfort to him, a man must know
where It is.
After the moving van men start to
carry a heavily loaded bureau up the
stairs be on hand to warn them to be
careful Of the walls. This will annoy
the men, and you will discover how
fluent is their speech; also how pro-
fame.
Remember that the landlord owns
the window screens, shades and gas
fixtures.
The day before, the very day, and
for a week after moving cold boiled
ham is an excellent substitute for
food. It is easy to serve. You don't
even have to add little hot water

AeropIane In War Game.

For the first time the aeroplane
has been used In France to register
the results of firing practice by siege
artillery batteries. Six batteries were
firing at the Chalons camp the other
day. and an attempt was made "a
register the results by means of a BIZ
plane. The air was In such a boiling
state owing to the heat that the BIZ
plane proved useless. Lieutenant
Rose then mounted monoplane,
few over the line Of batteries at q
height Of 800 yards. and in a flight OF
three minutes was able TO observe
the fire Of the six batteries. Return
ing, he dropped cards at the feet of
the officers In command on which he
had noted the results. This task has
previously been carried out from cap
tive balloons.

MAKING SURE THING OF IT
Now That Money Is Scarce, the New
York Gamblers Are Taking No '
Chances.

Real money is becoming criminally
scarce with the gambling fraternity
here, says the New York Press. The
stopping of racing cut of one source
of income, and the recent exposures
Of the crooked games which are being
operated, broadly speaking. in every
New York gambling house have also
lessened the boob crop. A hundred
dollar bill, flashed near the corner Of
Broadway and 43rd street would
probably cause a dangerous stampede.
The old-timers are resorting to every
possible means to get in the money.
Il got a sucker" said one of the
veterans to another the other day.
"He used to know me when | was
city clerk Of Jiggs Crossings, and he
has plenty of confidence in me. I'll
get him into a three,handed game,
work in a cold deck, and we'll take
his crop"
The other old-timer objected that
both men lacked capital. I'VE got
our fronts but It will never do to
drop Them" said he. Without dia-
monds and good clothes a professional
gambler is in a bad way. But the
proposer of the sucker harvest was
insistent.
This guy1l tumble for good
money" said he. Now, you'n' me
can get four or five hundred dollars
on our ice. That's enough for work
ing capital. Wen work along and
when get. good chance I'll send in
the cold hand. I'll deal you four
kings and give him four queens, and
he'll bet his head Off"
He's to have four queens, hey?"
said the other. "And me four kings d?
All right, I'll go you. But I'm going
to go through that deck first and take
all the aces out"
