AN AW EVE DISCO VERT. it Wmh the Klmv That Started War In n Happy Home. He had Just returned from Maniliesler, where he had been called upon urgent busines*. The honeymoon was scarcely over, and, besides. It was his first absence from her side since they were made one. "You will neier drink?” ahe murmured. "Dearest, you know I have never done so." he replied la Injured tone*. "And you will never gamble either, will you. my Idol?” "Never, neier again, my dear, since you w ish It so ’’ And ahe believed him. in her woman’s way, and "all was as merry as a marriage tie!!." But be mentioned hti portmau'eau. sud a little struggle ensued. He would go and get his portmanteau, he said. No. no; he wis tired. She would get It. No, no— But, yer. yes. Was she going to let him walk across the room for a nasty old portiuauleau, and be so tired? How could he think her so ••rnel? No. Indeed. She wonld go and get it herself and open it for him. too, and so there. Wbem she said "so there." he knew there was nothing else for him but to submit gracefully, and ho submittled. But. alas for what followed! 8he opened the bag. What was In it? One large, empty flask, one meerschaum pipe, one pack of playing cards, new; three packs ditto, old: a few racing tickets, sundries. That was all. One of these scenes which "baffle all description" followed, but finally the porter came and explained that he had sent up the wrong portmanteau. Both are slowly recovering.

Somebody on the Wire. Several evenings ago a young man repaired to a telephone office and rang np his sweetheart at her residence. The bell was answered, and the yoijng fellow inquired: "Is that you?" "Yes, George, dear,” come tbs reply. "Are yon alone?” "Yes. darling.’' "I w ish I was down there." "I wish so. toe." "If I were there, do you know what I would do with ray darling?" "No. George, I do not." "Well, I’d pull her ears back till the opened her mouth, and then I’d put a lump of dirt In It. If that didn’t answer I’d give her a sound flogging.” came the startling reply. And then Kstelie fainted. Now they never speak as they pass by, and the man who was talking to his farrier about a balky mare says that anybody who will advise a man to I tit. bis arms round the neck of an obstreperous horse, and hug and hug and kiss it, and hold It on his lap, and whisper words of love into Its ear ought to be hanged to the nearest lamppost. An the telephone girl, who used to he engaged to George and who mixed the conversation, smiles blandly on all parties concerned.— Til-Hits.

A publisher directed one of his r'i rks to hang out a "Bov Wanted" sign at the street entrance a few days ago The card had been swinging In the breeze only a few minutes when a red headed little tad climbed to the publisher's office with llie sign under hi* arm. "Say, mister." he demanded of the publiaher, "did youse hang out this here 'Boy Wanted' sign?” "I did," replied the publisher sternly. "Why did you tear it down?” Back of hi* freckles the youngster was gazing in wonder at the uiaa's stupidity. "Hnlly gee! * he b’.arted. "Why, I'm the boy!” And he was. Hnssiau Sayings.

A mother's love will draw up from the depths of the sea. The absent-minded man looks for the horse he rides on. When the ass bears too light a load he wants to lie down.

If the thunder Is not loud the peasant forgets to cross himself. When the scabbards are broken we can no longer hide our sabres. One whip is enough for a good horse, for a bad one not a thousand.

The Original Search Eight. The sqarch light, as we see it from the bridge of a warship or steamboat. is one of the wonders of the twentieth century. Beyond peradventure of doubt the eye of the owl or cat first suggested it. Probably the eat can righteously claim the honor of the hint, as the feline is more domestic than Mr. To-hoot. The afleetionale tabby can send a fla'-h through its optics, when alarmed. that will almost illuminate a dark room. Yet those eyes are ordinarily as soft rs the optics of r, dove.

be so pe< nilsr is no affair of ours. (Of course this 1* no joke. The s'rlking of a clock may be an affair of boms, but It Is not tpelled the same way. We are not, trying to be funny. This is a dignified article. Mease do not. Interrupt u* again.) That paasage in Scripture which ttys. "By their works ahall you know them," doe* not refer to < lo< ks. but it might well have done to, because that 1* the way a good

Clock Is known.

The clock speaks a universal language. and no matter whether it is a German clock, or French or Spaniah or Italian, it can tell you tho time just as distinctly as if it were

plaiu Yankee.

The clock differs from all other human affairs In that while their operations end yvlien they are wound up. the clocks’ do not begin until they are wound up. There are no clocks In heaven, bemuse there la no time there. Neither Is there any night, and an eight-day clock would not. know when to stop. — San t rare isco Call.

How He Heat Hhn,

Woman Pavement Artist. Along with Ihe woman shoeblack and v. her novelties which have readied New York is a woman "pavement artist.” She has so surprised the crowds along the busy thoroughfare where she has taken her stand that persons have stopped to have their pictures painted. Surmounting each of her artistic , scblc rmentj- is this legend: "All my I own work. There is no fraud about my pictures. They are done on the ! spot." rnlei-K the interest should ' fall off stidder.lv this most recent "self-helpar" !e in Hue for a competence. ___ CONS!HER THE CLOCK. No Ixak.

Being a very good-nat-ttri'fl man, this Represent*:Ire always takes in good part any jokin:; re ference to his tlenderne -s; indeed, he is net averse to a just himself In teat connection, as is illustrated hr an incident that occurred in a street cur in Washington.

For all that, we love baseball. Even In spite of the grand stand humorist, we love it. II is our national game. We say that, since this country was to give us baseball, our revolutionary sires did not bleed and die in rain. Men have much reason to love baseball. It gives them the chance to .-ulmire skill, speed, strength, nerve, courage and determination, and to learn the latest slang and most pepful repartee. It gives them the chaneq to boldly abuse and insult other men without fear of consequences and to exhibit their wit before large crowds. It gives them the chance to set up real heroes and bow down to them. Statesmen are corrupt, generals fight from their tents, literary lions are psle, weak bodies. But baseball heroes are real heroes. And it—baseball—also gives men the opportunity (o be as loud and silly and joyously unrepressed as they want to be, with-

out being laughed at.

Young women like baseball, too, and some of them understand it remarkably well. Some of them are said to know the differenee between t the pitcher and the umpire. There is j a legend that once there was a young j woman who could watch a whole j game without asking: “What are i they doing now?” and tell which side ! won at the end. But that is believed to have been written by Grimm. Young women do not rare so much fm baseball if they have to buy their own tickets. But if you suggest taking one, she just dotes on tbe game. A woman always get* some enjoy n-ent out of seeing her escort spend money for her, no matter what it is

for.

I It is not always ^ise to take a j young woman, to the ball game, no [ natter bow she dotes on it. Site may not notice the difference when they stop balling up flies and begin »!a> game. She may think tbe pitchei and catcher are playing against each other, and complain because one of them docs not quit and give that cute fellow with such a jaunty air a turn. She may mistake tbe catcher’s breast protector for a porous plaster. But she will notice, with an ever-growing admiration, Ihe grace, sttreness and swiftness of Ihe well conditioned men on the field. After which she is likely to size you up and decide you won’*

do.

IMITATE PRECIOUS GEMS. Zircons Are Often Used to Deceive Persons on Jewelry. Nature is often copied xvi'h conspicuous success by these engaged in the imitation of precious jewels. Z!tcons are composed of silica and zlconia. Their luster is deceptive, a means having been discovered of extracting the color, thus leaving them diamonds to all appearances, although their fastness promptly proclaims itself when put to a test. Precious stones are often dyed with sinh thoroughness and cleverness that, it is asserted, the stone may he broken without discovery of the proeess; that is to say, by the unitiated. In Oberstein, Germany, the «o!e 'n dustry is the manufacture of imitation jewelry and the dyeing of chalcedony and other stones. The onyx, rarnclian. bloodstone and agale may he enriched in color by immersion in the dyepot. The slones are placed in vextels containing the coloring matter and are then subjected to great heat for periods varrying from a few hours to a week or more. In Ihe case of chalcedony, which shows hands of different degrees of intensity, certain of the bands take the color and others do not. The stones then jo reive a further stewing in pots roumining other dyes. Fluorspar Is capable of great impiovement in lint when subjected to a heating process and crucldollte is riven a hue^f blood red by a similar method. The emerald'and the eatseye are of *11 stones the most easily Imitated On* family at Oberstein is said to possess the secret of converting crucldollte Into eatseye.
