HER LITTLE HAND IN HIS
Mr.. pecke's Explanation as to Reason
Somewhat DispelIed the odor
Of Romance.

Henne and Pecke were two henpec-
ed married men. The other day they
met and, after a few casual remarks
concerning the weather, the subject
Of women and unfortunate husbands
was-perhaps naturally discussed To
Henne, however, suddenly came
thoughts Of years ago, when he was
happy bachelor, and (unconsciously
Of what Fate had in store for him)
was walking out" a girl who was,
later on, destined to bring him sor-
row and misery
Pecke seeing a "far-away" look in
his companions eyes, inquired the
meaning Henne retorted dramat-
lcally, 81 was just then thinking, old
fellow of those happy days long ago
when I used to hold that girls hand
in mine for when"
But tho equally unfortunate Pecke
suddenly cut his companion short by
exclaiming; why, that's nothingl
Cheer up! DO you know, only yes
terday held my wife's hand for three
solid hours"
WHAT" said the startled Henne.
yes, It's a fact" resumed Pecke,
sorrowfully; "and l declare if I'd lct'
loose she'd have killed me,"-London

II IL stated on good authority that
II was under these trees that tho sec
onds for Alexander Hamilton met bo'
fore tho fatal duel which resulted IN
tho death OF Hamilton on July IL,
1904, Whether they are tho actual
trees under which tho seconds met
before tho fatal encounter occurred,
they have u historic yalGo from tho
fact that they are on territory which
was intimately associated with tho
great statesman, lawyer and soldier
An interesting fact connected with
tho house when II stood on tho other
side OF tho street ls that Hamilton
planted 10 trees around this house,
which were intended 10 represent the
10 original BtatoB OF tho American
Union Those trees woro Of the sweet
gum variety and were brought by
Hamilton, whom they were nothing
moro than whips, from Mount Vernon,
tho estate OF President Washington,
These trees lived until long Nttor tho
house was moved and Homo OF them
were alive when, Ia November lVlh
tho lots where they stood were taken
as the site for row Of apartment

had been restricted for 20 years

Canned Elderberries for Ples.-I

whether the taste for elderberry pie
was a natural or cultivated one.
Those who like 1t declare that 1t Is the
berry pie par excellence. Those who
do not favor it seem to think that
those who do have a deprayed taste,
As the elderberry is rather insipid

lemon or vinegar to develop its own
inherent richness.

WOMEN OF KABYLA

But Beware Of These Beauties, AZ

TiziOuzou, Kabylia.-Though the
Mauresques Of Algeria and the fair

voluptuous elegance, they compare

the Kabyle woman does not rise SUI
perior to the Africans fondness for
personal adornment being so laden

Lest this glowing description OF
their charms should start you post

that these insolent. eyed beauties are
headstrong and hot Of temper, and
that If you happened to say the wrong

maiden wears very much as an AmerL
