wonderful piece OF mechanism, a fine,
practical, machine-like individual,
moral, upright, religious. She was
glad that he was young; she would
begin his training on the morrow. She
would teach him to sew. to sweep, to
churn, to cook, and when he was old
er he should be educated for the min

obedience or misdemeanor, and he
will soon learn that my authority is
not to be questioned.
And the little boy who had never
had restraining hand laid upon him
in his short life? He slept sweetly
and innocently in the next room,
dreaming of the carefree existence on
the plantation and Of his idle, happy,
negro companions.

months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions

each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his SUI

Astonished Husband.

De Wolfe Hopper tells a good stor5
about the domestic unhappiness OF an
other actor. The hero of the joke was
man who had married because the
woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally, after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition IN tho
brides financial resources, thD hug
band was never very attentive to her.
Another member of the company In
which the couple were appearing was,
however, far more appreciat1ve OF the
lady's charms, and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner. The grand finale came one
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
fond lover stood petrified with fear,
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with gesture OF
intense surprise, and exclaimed:
