fast Mrs Roosevelt went at once to his room while the nurse took his breakfast order.
 After waking, Roosevelt was given a sponge bath and served with the same kind of a breakfast he has had each morning since he entered the hospital. It was not the coIonel's wish, how ever. that he be confined to the usual ! .HThat's nothing for a strong man. '' the colonel remarked to the nurse. "I want fresh country sausages and pancakes. Plenty of them too" The nurse looked at Mrs. Roose- welt. She nodded and the nurse took
 the order. But Mrs. Roosevelt fol- | lowed her from the room and promptly countermanded the sausage order
 Breakfast arrived minus the deli 1 cacies. The colonel looked at the nurse and with a nod was referred to

A Famous Quarrel

Sir Peter-Lady Teazle, Lady Teazle, I'll not have itl
 Lady Teazle-Sir Peter. Sir Peter, you will bear it or not as you please. but ought to have my own way in every thing. and what's more will, too. What though I was educated in the country, know very well that women of fashion are controlled by nobody after they are married.
 Sir Peter-very well, madam, very well. A husband has no influence, nc authority.
 Lady Teazle--Authority, no, to be sure. If you had wanted authority over me you should have adopted me. not married me. I am sure you are olt enough.
 And so the quarrel went on until. a! usual, Lady Teazel got the best of tht encounter, and even made Sir Petei promise to call that evening at Lady Sneerwell's drum"
 T will go," said Sir Peter, simply tc look after my own character"
 .Ah, then,@ replied Lady Teazle. ''you must make haste after me or you will be too late"
 And Sir Peter did follow his lady rather quickly to the house of Lady Sneerwell. although he was too late tc look after his character. It had beer dissected even before the arrival oi his wife.

Rowley Tells Sir Peter

When he called at Sir Peters house he found that gentleman in state of con- siderable agitation. the knight having had one of his daily quarrels with his young wife.
 "I meet with nothing but crosses and vexations,'' said Sir Peter.
 Why" replied Rowley. what can have happened since yesterday?"
 That's a good question to ask of a married man." snapped Sir Peter.
 Come, come, Sir Peter." said Rowley. Notwithstanding your tempers don't ex- actly agree. you know you love your wife. and now, Sir Peter, I have a secret for your ear-Sir Oliver Surface has arrived and is at this moment in town.
 His passage from India was remark edly quick. His nephews do not know of his arrival, and he enjoins me not to inform them at present He desires to make some trials of their dispositions. !"
 As to that" returned Sir Peter. '1t needs no art to discover their merits"
 Sarcely had Rowley left the room when Lady Teazle entered fresh from one oi her gossiping seances at Lady Sneerwell's S Then ensued well-known quarrel be. tween Sir Peter and his wife, which. ir order to be fully appreciated, must be given at least partly in the woods oi Sheridan;

Making Plans

After this little flare-up Lady Sheer well dismissed MT. Snake, and scarcely had he gone when MT. Joseph Surface was shown up.
 How is your brother Charles?" ask ed Lady Sneerwell.
 Poor Charles. poor Charles" replied Joseph. notwithstanding his vices I can't help feeling for him. I only wish I could be of some assistance to him" l"
 70. Lud." said Lady sneerwell, "are you going to be moral and forget that you are among friends?"
 To sum up the results of Lady Sheer wells morning consultations things were arranged as follows:
 Joseph Surface, the elder brother was to marry Maria. Sir Peter Teazie's ward, while somehow, by hook or by crook. Charles Surface was to be made to marry Lady Sneerwell. The con spirators counted considerably upon the assistance of Lady Teazie, young wife of old Sir Peter
 Sir Peter had taken Lady Teazie from here country home. where her greatest dissipation was to engage in worstet work and then frame it and hang il around the family sitting room.
 But when she found herself Lady Teazie in London it was quite another story and the country girl developed a taste for society, extrava gance, gos- sip and independence of action which made the rather conservative and tight listed Sir Peter almost frantic at times Especially did he object to the as sociation with Lady Sneerwell and that crowd.

Ladv sneerwelTs Revenge

Lady Sneerwell. a most popular socia leader in London, was completing hei toilet when MT. Snake was ushered 1T and given a cup of chocolate, which her ladyship always had on tap with 'her scandal for the morning
 ''Mr. Snake. MT. snalse," asked Lady sneerwell. "did you get all those para graphs in the papers sent you?"
 T did madame. and as copied them myself in a feigned hand there can be no suspicion whence they came"
 You circulated the report of Lady Brit ties intrigue with Captain BoatsN4all Very well. very well, MT. Snake" said Lady sneerwell.
 Now Lady Sneerwell had suffered from scandal in her day, and was determined to be revenged on the world Malice and a desire to destroy the characters of others had taken the place in her mind of what had originally been good thoughts and good intentions.
 She was at open war with the world ana ran a school for scandal.

Sir Peter's Nephew

How about Sir Peter Teazle and his family?" said Lady Sneerwell suddenly.
 70, I have attended to that natter replied Mir. Snake.
 Here are two young men over whom Sir Peter has acted as @ kind of guard ian since their fathers death. Eldest is possessed of most amiable character aud is universally well spoken of Young est is the most extravagant and dissipat- ed young character in the kingdom-with- ont friends or character.
 "The former is an avowed admirer oi your ladyship. and apparently your favor ite The latter is attached to Maria, Sir Peters ward, and confessedly beloved by her.
 Now, on the face of these clrcum- stances, 1t is utterly unaccountable to me why you, the widow of city knight and possessed of money, should not close with the passions of man of such char acter and expectations as MT Joseph Sur face, and why. my lady, you try to de- stroy the mutual attachments existing / retween his brother Charles and Maria.
 Lady Sneerwell turned upon her agen of slander and said: Would you know Then I will tell you that Charles, thai libertine. that extravagant, that bank rupt in fortune and reputation that he is it is for him that I am anxious and tc gain his regard would sacrifice every thing"

When "The School for Scandal was first produced it achieved immediate suc- cess. and even Horace walpole thought it was "a marvellous resurrection of the stage.n
 It was brought out at the Drury Lane theatre in TIT, and has become, of course one of those plays which. while not soar' ing to the heights of Shakespeare, is yet permanent, fixed and of high value in literature.
 When be wrote this play Sheridan had just been suffering himself from the vis- itations of school for scandal held by the gossips at Bath, and he put his heart into the production.
 The romantic and ridulous incidents of sheridan's elopement and of his duel with Captain Matthews are what set all so- ciety at Bath talking. Their talk made Sheridan angry, and the result was his play, "The School for Scandal"

An Indignation Meeting

All London society being divided on this important matter, an invasion was made in force of Sir Peters house, Lady Sneerwell and Sir Benjamin Backbite be- ing the principal leaders of the invad- ing forces.
 They demanded to see Lady Teazle- at once. But Lady Teazle refused herself to them.
 While they were holding an indigna- tion meeting over this, there came in Sir Oliver Surface They all thought he was the doctor and fairly mobbed him to find out how his patient was.
 whats all this?'' said Sir Oliver. T am no doctor. I have no patient. Whats s the matter?'
 Then they told him in concert their various versions of Sir Peters words.
 well" said Sir Oliver, upon my word. for man in his condition, he is the most imprudent man I ever saw, for here he comes walking as if nothing had happened to him.
 Sir Peter was furious when he saw the gossip mongers assembled in his apartment. T insist on being left to myself without ceremony. insist on your leaving my house directly" said Sir Peter.

Behind the Screen

Joseph. while pretending to defend Charles, really threw more suspicion upon him, and all this Lady Teazle. behind the screen, of course, heard.
 While they were talking the servant came into the room and announced the arrival of Mir Charles Surface.
 'I'n get behind this screen,' said Sir Peter.
 No. no,e said Joseph. There is some body there. Believe me, it is little French milliner, but, everything Is all right. She was a little nervous when she came in and went behind the screen. You must go into the closet"
 Sir Peter went into the closet and Lady feazle, peelfGg around the side of the screen, said. Cant you lock him in?'
 But it was too late to lock Sir Peter into his retreat. for just at that instant Charles Surface entered the room.

 A bulletin issued by the Federal Cen: Bureau in regard to almond product shows. that in the decade from 1899 to the number of almond trees in the Uni States decreased by 461. GOO. In ot1 words, there were 1.6490O trees in and only 1.1sS.0O0 in 1909.
 Five states in the union produce rF. tically all the almond crop. These California, Arizona, Texas. Oregon 4 Utah.

Suspected WrongfulIy

What was the matter with your serv- ant? He would hardly let me up." said Sir Charles, and one of your people told me that Sir Peter Teazle was with you.
 Joseph told him that Sir Peter had beer there and had gone. Charles spoke tc his brother about the rumors that had been circulated from Lady SneerweD' school for scandal. concerning himself and Lady Teazle, and declared that he was tired of malicious islander.
 Joseph finally grabbed his brother and whispered in his ear:. Hush. Sir Peter has overheard all that we have beer saying"
