DisraeIi's NuptiaI joke.

There was little joke between
them Disraeli and his wife) which I
heard from the late dean Of Salisbury.
"You know | married you for your
money" Disraeli would say to her.
'Oh, yes, but if you were to marry me
again you would marry me for love-"
was the regular reply. '.Oh, yes" her
husband would exclaim, and the little
nuptial comedy ended.
But what Disraeli said to Bernal Os-
borne once about his marriage is much
better worth the telling. 1t was at
dinner party after dinner when. the
men were alone. What did you mar
ry her for?" Osborne asked in his char
acteristic way. Disraeli twiddled his
wineglass in the pause that followed
this point blank inquiry. Then he
lifted his head slowly snd looked the
other very expressively in the face.
''FOr a reason he said, (which you
could never gratitude."-

Tory Memories"

FER0CI0US DOLPHINS.
Marine Monsters That Are Known as
Whale Killers.

There really is such sea- monster
a!; the whale killer. 1t is one of the
largest ami most ferociouS of all the
dolphin family. 1t also is known as
tue gr1lmpuS 1t is characterized us a
c@uuS by its large size and the conical
and depressed head. devoid of beak.
The back fin is of great length, espe-
rally in the males. and the tiippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively few
in number varying from ten to thir-
teen on each side of the jaw, and are
much larger than in any dolphlns yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
in diameter and having an oval sec
tion. The coloration is striking. the
upper parts and fins being black. while
the lower jaw. chest and under parts
are whitish.
The white area of the under parts
does not. however. extend to the tiukes,
but ends pOsteri0rly in Il trident, of
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the fianks.
There is Il large white streak above
and behind the eye, and frequently at
least purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attains length of at least twen-
ty feet.-St. Louis Times.

Really There Is No More Effective
Trimming for the Smart Afternoon
or Evening Dress.

Rhinestone trimmings are prOmi-
nent for evening wear, especially in
the simple outlining form suitable for
edging tunics, necks, sleeves and edg-
ing elaborate scarfs of chiffon or
mousseline. Rhinestones in combina-
ton with jet are formed into hand
some floral and scroll effects. Rhine
stone and pearl slides and ornaments
are used for catching up draperies.
Narrow Chiffon pink rosebud trim
mings continue to be fashionable. Fur
bands in skunk, mole, fox, ermine and
sable continue to be much used for
trimmings. Fur is often used in COM
bination with metal with excellent
effect. An elaborate evening wrap or
gown may be trimmed with a light
weight metal band outlined with a na--
row strip of fur.

Clayton B. Templer, one Of the
oldest members of the Delaware

a number of tenant houses in Muncie.
He was seeking John Proctor, stage

him to do some repair work on one Of
the houses.
Just go to the stage door in the
alley, pull it back and go inside. He
is in there Templer was told when
he inquired at the theater for Proctor.
Templer, following instructions,
opened the stage door to enter. A
black mustached man. swarthy Of
feature and glistening of teeth, met
him, shouting: VILLAIN, you shall
pay dearly for this! Die the death Of
a dog, you hound!"

he ran at jack rabbit speed down the
alley to the nearest policeman.

Lsee DESIGNS from Spider weba.

Missionaries in Paraguay, South
America, more than two hundred
years ago taught the native Indians to
make lace by hand. Since that day
the art has greatly developed, and in
certain Of the towns lace making is
the chief occupation. Almost all the
women, many children and not a few
men are engaged in this industry. A
curious fact with reference to the
Paraguayan laces is that the designs
we're borrowed from the strange webs
woven by the semi-tropical spiders
that abound in that country Accord
ingly this lace is by the natives called
nanduti, which means spider web"
