HER LITTLE HAND IN HIS
VIZ. Pec',e's Explanation az to Reason
So aewhat DispeIIed the odor
of Romance.

Henne and Pecke were two henpeck-
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
a 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 companion's eyes, inquired the
meaning. Henne retorted dramat-
1cally, Il was just then thinking. old
fellow, OF those happy days long ago
when l used to hold that girls hand
In mine for hours-when-"
But the equally unfortunate Pecke
suddenly cut his companion short by
exclaiming: why, that's nothing!
Cheer up! Do you know, only yes
terday I held my wife's hand for three
solid hours"
"What?" said the startled Henne.
Yes, it's a fact" resumed Pecke.

MANS SIGHT IS RESTORED
FALL Against Door Gives George Nor

Recovery.

Wilmington, Del.-Becoming totally
blind fourteen weeks ago, George
M. Morgan Jr., aged twenty-three
years, 1851 East Thirteenth street, had
his sight restored to him through an
accident, About eleven years ago Nor
gan was struck in one eye with a
stone a small boy had thrown at a
freight car. His sight was badly az
fected and last September he went
to st. Joseph's hospital in Baltimore
to have his eye treated. While sitting
in his boarding house fourteen. weeks
ago he suddenly became totally blind
without any warning whatever.
He came to this city to visit his
parents on June 20, and he tripped
over a rug and fell, his forehead strik-
ng a door-jamb with much. force.
When he arose he found that he could
see the daylight and later develop
ments showed that he could see bet
ter. than before he went to the hos
pital last var.
He intends to return to the hos
pital to continue the treatment, al
though the physicians told him they
did not think he ever would be able
to see again. His mother was at
market at the time Of the accident
nd could not believe her sons glad
declaration when she returned until
he told her the color of her hat and
dress and described other things in

Rose, her sister, laughed softly, as
she returned: Better say blessed be

Don't you dare! If one breathes
real loud in this village folk are sure

sacrilege rather than thrift. I'm sure
grandad himself would approve

it do to have his leftover clothes

None in the world" Rose assented
merrily, adding with a touch of
usefulness: "It is so harbour stock

time. We could do Sc much with
that five hundred we haven't got"
And other people doing all sorts

Hot Weather Drink

Philip Hale, one of Boston's latter
day philosophers, recommends barley
water as a more sensible drink for hot
weather than "ice-cold' blends of wa
tiers, slrups, acids, gulped at the mar
bic fountains. Mr.. Hale's recipe for
his favorite tipple is as follows:
For three pints of water you will
require a %teacupful and a half of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps OF
sugar and the thin rind and juice of
n lemon. Pour boiling water over
1t, v with a saucer and let it stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into a Jug"
A buttermilk fan adds:
Then set the jug in a cool place
and forget it."

New Idea for Dressma<er..

A New York woman has inaugurated
a new departure. She sent word
to a number of dressmakers that she
had so many dresses to make, Of such
and such materials, and so many 9TH
ers to be altered. and named the al
terations to be made and asked for
bids. She will probably accept the
lowest bid, and this seems to open up
q new field in dressmaking. 1t will
also develop a new variety Of shrewd-
ness on the part Of successful Dress
uakers-the ability to figure on bids.
