A TREASURE TRovE OF HUMoR FROM HIS
NEWLY DISCOVERED NEWSPAPER WRITINGS
THE OTHER SIDE OF TT.
" HERE is an item going the :
rounds of the press rela-

" HERE is an item going the
rounds of the press rela-
tive to the weH-known
curiosity of woman. 1t states
that if a man brings a news
paper home out of which a
piece has been clipped his wife
will never rest until she has
procured another paper to see
what it was that had been
cut out.
A Houston man was quite inn
pressed with the idea, so he
resolved to make the expert
ment. One night last week he
cut out of the days paper a
little two-inch catarrh cure adj
vertisement, and left the mu-
tilated paper on the table where
his wife would be sure to
read it.
He picked up a book and pre-
tended to be interested, while
he watched her glance over the
paper. When she struck the
place where the piece had been
cut, she frowned and seemed to
be thinking very seriously.
However, she did not say any
thing about it and the man was
in doubt as to whether her
curiosity had been aroused or
not.
The next day when he came
home to dinner she met him at
the door with flashing eyes and
an ominous look about her jaw.
"You miserable, deceitful
wretch!" she cried. "After liv-
ing all these years with you to
find that you have been basely
deceiving me and leading a
double life, and bringing shame
and sorrow upon your innocent
family! l always thought you
were a villain and a reprobate,
and now l have positive proof
of the fact"
"Wh-wha-what do you
mean, Maria?" he gasped. "I
haven't been doing anything"
"Of course you are ready to
add lying to your catalog of
vices. Since you pretend not to
understand me-look at this"
She held up to his gaze a
complete paper of the issue of
the day before.
"You thought to hide your
actions from me by cutting out
part of the paper, but / was too
sharp for you"
"Why that was just a little
joke, Maria. l didn't think you
would take it seriously. -
do you call that joke, you
shameless wretch ?" she cried,
spreading the paper before him.
The man looked and read in
dismay. In cutting out the ca
tarrh advertisement he had

never thought to see what was
on the other side Of it, and this
was the item that appeared to
one reading the other side of
the page to have been clipped:
"a gentleman about town,
who stands we'll in business cir
cles, had a high old time last
night in certain restaurant
where he entertained at supper
a couple of chorus ladies be-
longing to the comic opera
company now in the city. Loud
talking and breaking of dishes
attracted some attention, but
the matter was smoothed over,
owing to the prominence of the
gentleman referred to-"
"You call that a joke, do you,
you reptile" shrieked the ex-
cited lady. "1'm going home to
mamma this evening and I'm
going to stay there. Thought
you'd fool me by cutting it our,
did you You sneaking, dissi-
pated old snake you! I've got
my trunk nicely packed and Pm
going straight home-don't you
come near mel"
Maria" gasped the bewilder-
ed man, II swear /"
Don't add perjury to your
crimes, sir!"
The man tried unsuccessfully
to speak three or four times,
and then grabbed his hat and
ran downtown. Fifteen minutes
later he came back bringing two
new silk dress patterns, four
pounds of caramels, and his
bookkeeper and three clerks to
prove that he was hard at work
In the store on the night in
question.
The affair was finally settled
satisfactorily, but there is ono
Houston man who has no fur
ther curiosity about womau's
curiosity.

HEART SINGS
SONG ALL
IT'S OWN
By LUCY LOWELL.

VER-SO-LEARNE men who
~ think up bewildering ideas
- call it anticipation" And
they say it's the only real happi'
ness there is in life!
Others, not so learned perhaps.
who can do things with words
that makes them run smoothly
like clear little streams and fall
into harmony like singing water"
falls, call it dreams" And they
claim that it's only Illusion after
all!
But you and I, just between
ourselves and because we under
stand and like each other, will
call it 1.-The song Of the heart"
And we won't say that it's
either illusion or quite real, but
something very, very pleasant
that may be at least partly real
and partly the Tilt that huns
through reality and keeps our
feet light and our hands busy
and our eyes smiling! Don't you
like the idea?
You see, I've been thinking
about a girl I know who listened
to the song and loved 1t and
looked forward to the happiness
itspromised. I'm afraid she called
It anticipation" and believed
with the learned men that 1t
doesn't exist really.
For quite without knowing 1t,
she kept telling herself that even
though the beauty of her life
happened to be an intangible
sort of loneliness, she'd better
hold to 1t and NEEDLE with
trying to make 1t tangible and
perhaps unlovely in spots.
So when her Prince Charming
came along and won her promise
and begged to know when"
she looked thoughtful and said,
"Oh, some day.
She "enjoyed" her engagement
till every bit of romance had
gone from it and it was Like a
flower without perfume. And
then she married him in a re-
signed sort of way and they
moved into a pretty little home
where happiness was waiting to
be caught and held.
But she couldn't seem to see
that it was there. Problems
came along-inconsequential prob
lems-which hadn't at all figur.
ed in anticipation" So they
irked her, and she decided that
the ever so.learned men are right
and that the poets are right and
that there is no actual happiness
outside the dream.
Poor little wife! She wants a
divorce now, and she'll prob
ably win it. For husband Is a
practical sort OF fellow who takes
things as they come and tries to
get the joy out Of life as it
passes.
For, after all. that's the real
song of the notwithstanding for
the lit that buns through real
ity!

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN
'copyrtsht. 1878. By star Company.

r IFE is a long lesson in
II humility.
All that philosophy can teach
is not to be stubborn or sullen
under misfortune.
Man is clogged with what 10
too familiar to him.
Faults of ignorance are ex-
cusable only where the ignorance
itself is so.
He is the freeman whom the
truth makes free.
Everybody's companion 10 no
body's friend.
A gentle hand may lead the
elephant with a hair.
Anger may make dull men
witty, but it keeps them poor.
Hope is a good breakfast, but
it is a bad supper.
Be 80 true to yourself that you
cannot be false to others.
A wise man will make more
opportunities than he finds.
Nature is more powerful than
education - time will develop
everything.
Life is not so short but that
there is always room for courtesy.
The abuse of a thing Is no
argument for it's discontinuance.
Nothing is heavy to a man
which necessity brings.
Children, like tender osiers, take
the bow,
And as they first are fashioned
