I was a strong-minded person, however, and when onee I bad determined to do a thing I did it. What I wanted sow was leisure, aad after a few days -of hard thinking I arrived at aa idea: 1 would marry. Possibly I was less attentive to my work than usual after I had come to this eoalaioa. I suppose I did let some terrible looking copy go to press, aad Mr. BenUie, the editor, remarked it He looked grimmer than usual one morning when be eame stalking; up to my desk. "It appears to me.

Yon might like to go with me." "I will think of it" I said. As a matter of fact we were married ta Tutlr six davs from the time the 1Wt was first mentioned. In that interval few words passed between us. For the first three days I worked in the oflke as usual, after that I did not see mr husband-elect until he called at ray lxUrdinir house with the minister and his wife. We stood up and joined hands in the parlor, the minister's wife, air landladv and one or two boarders looking on. I was twenty two, lie forty, and I think we had never y-o.i shaken hands before, though I had worked for him since I was eigh teen. 1 had hard work to get out my T will" in answer to the minister's onestions. ami there was a strange cUtinr sensation around my heart when he pronounced us man and wife; stranger when a few minutes afterwards I had laid off ray hat and tamed tr ttum mv hasbaad ta my home.

I was bound, fnl for life, ami now that the posaiitllitv of choice had gone from me, I 1uMn tn nee visions of young, ardent i.n.u.iuts and lovers, and to dream lraimi of trolden-hued romances.

uaturnl, a little pamr and feeling for the most part tired, aa thoagk the game of life were a losing one. I eowld aot aiuigether rid myelf of the idea that I had lost something irrevocably. Too late it seemed to come to we that a woman must love her husband if she would hare her life complete. Mnee my book was off my hands 1 worked a good deal in the office in my old position. I liked it, aad. sitting at my old desk by the open window some days in summer, with the wind blow ing my papers about ami the omee boy back ta the composing room whistling "Annie Kooaey," I seemed to be again for the time being Miss Haxlett. the proof reader, and onee or twice I dropped a tear to the memory of her. outing there in the sunshine one morning I reviewed the situation. It had been almost two years since my matter-of-fact marriage, years of peace and plenty which were a striking eontrust to my life before. Hut there had been this bondage with them, like aa iron hand over my heart, and before there had been freedom and buoyancy, with now and then, in spite of my strongraiadedness, beautiful dreams. There was the sense of loss I always had. but against that was the sense of care and protection whieh always surrounded me and the quiet kindness which. my husband had shown me from the moment we were made man and wife. The thought eame to me that many women might love a man like that with out effort. He eame in at that moment and sat down at his table in the middle of the room. Something la my thoughts or else in his man ner or attitude made me won iter all at onoe whether lie was happy. It came over me with the force of aa en tirely new idea that he had a heart and could be happy or wretched, and that he might have hopes and aims, troubles or purposes as well as I. lie could hardly have lived forty-two years without having had emotions of some sort I began to have a new interest in him. Iiv the lik-lit of that interest I could see that he looked wearied, disappointed. The thoosrht struck me that life might have fallen short of his expects tkms too. He might possibly have liked his wife to have loved him and to have given him caresses and loving words now and then, and I remembered my cold, reluctant obedience. I had married him for a . stepping-stone and had used him for that. It had never eecurred to me to wonder what he had married me for nor what he had hoped or wished from our union. While I was still thinking the noon whistles began blowing all over the city, the people about the office looked at the clock or their watches and went out. The office boy washed his hands ami the strains of "Annie Rooney" grew fainter as he went oat the hall aad down the stairs. Tke foreman locked up the composing room and went home, and still I sat there, and over by his table sat my husband, his head bent over some exebaages. He laid down his paper after awhile and looked at his watch, and I got up and took down my hat The smell of res taurants and of various private dinners was coming in through the open win dow. I lowered the curtains and stood noticing the greenish tone which came over the room; then I walked across to where my husband was sitting. He shoved hit pavers into the drawers, elosed it and got up. I cannot tell how it happened, bat we were stand ing looking into eeea other's eyes in tently, face to face.

The same impulse eame over me whieh 1 bad felt oa my wedding day to hold out my hands to him. 1 laid them against his breast slowly, ana ne toox me into his arms; to my surprise I was eryiag. Since then I have been a happy woman. I love my husband. VIBSIXtA m. HAIWAKB. Artlfteial Utake. It is strange but true that of all the men who fought in the late war few lost their arms or legs. Msny were wounded In those limbs, bet as compared with the grest number that were shot few lost a leg or an arm. My busi ness, saya a dealer, shows that there are more artificial legs than arms. There are many men who have arti ficial legs who are able to conceal the fact, but I do not know of a man with aa artificial arm who has ever fooled anybody with it. One reason, of course, k that we have not reached th same perfection in making artificial arms as in legs. As a general thing an artifleial arm will mat a man a meurae, but aa artificial leg Is not good for more than five or six years. The heavier a maa Is the shorter time his artificial leg will last There is nothing to which a maa will become to much attached as an artificial limb. Me will wear it as long as he eaa.-Chiesgo Tribune.

He tolls of one that has a vein of eomedy. as they say of the melodrama. Mr. Carlyle whs out with a new driver, fifty miles east of Cottonwood, now Me!kerson. He found that a band of redskins had taken possession of one his posts, ami likewise of the whisky. The whisky hud in turn taken posses sion of them. The coach was too close to the station for flight, HHd.besSdes, there were about two tons of mail and baggage matter around too much for fast travel. So Carlyle determined tiiat the only way to do was to brazen the matter out He drove quietly up to within a hun dred yards of the station, and clamber ing down from his scat coolly set about watering his horses. The Indians were hilarious, ihey clustered around Carlyle and greeted him noisily. "How?" "How?" slapping him terrifically on the back. 0ne4ck was particularly Itearty in his slap, and almost stove in Carlyle s shoulder, mad dening him with pain. Carlyle was at the time lifting a bucket of water from the well. With all his giant strength he swung the heavy iron-bound bucket at the Indian's head. The latter ducked and the bucket slipped downward, com pletely, enveloping his feathered head. And there the heavy vessel stuck, and the more Mr. Indian tried to wiggle out of it the tighter it stuck. This struok all the other Indians as highly humorous. They crowded around the unfortunate buck, hooting and screeching. They rolled him along the plain, they kicked him, they buffeted him, they cast handfula of dust upon him, and had a merry little picnie riding around on their wooden-headed comrade. Wliile this picnic was in progress Carlyle was busy. He had cut the straps that held the coach's heavy cargo of baggage, thrown off part of the mail, and bidding his frightened driver to whip up, the coacli was soon making good time towards Cottonwood. When the Indians had tired of playing with the bucketed buck and prepared to loot the coach they found it rapidly disap pearing. With renewed screeching they raced back to the. stables for their ponies, and, mounting, set out in pur suit Carlyle, sitting on the top of the coach, fought them off with his longrange Henry rifle, and there was a very pretty running fight all the way to Cottonwood, the Indians dropping the pursuit aa the town was approached. Kansas City Times. Kxeretee far Klderly Peoato. While the elderly man has less capac ity for some forms of exercise than the younger adult he has no less need than the other of the general and local ef fects of exercise. It is in the earliest period of mature age that the moat characteristic manifestations of defects of nutrition obesity, gout and diabetes, in which lack of exercise plavs an 1st port ant part are produced; and the treatment ot them demands imperious ly a stirring up of the vital combustion. Placed between a conviction that ex ercise is necessary, and a fear of the dangers of exercise, the mature man i ought, therefore, to proceed with the strictest method in the application of powerful modifier of nutrition. It is impossible, however, to trace method ically a single rule for all men of the same age, lor all do not oner tne same degree of preservation. We might per haps find a general formula for the age at which the muscles ami bones have retained all their power of resistasee, nd at which the heart and vessels be gin to lose some of their capacity to perform their functions.

VEGETABLE CURIOSITY. A riant Oat m CaJiforrrta That rredeees Mar-Hel!4 Kggo. Among the many curious things in the plant world, such as flowers that eat flies, the Holy Uhost plant, taat bears a white dove in its petals, and others equally interesting, there is none more curious than solanum gat rat rum. a recent addition to Golden Gate nark conservatory. This plant bears nard-Boiieu ej;;rs tor . . . ma a fruit At least the fruit resembles a hard-boiled err. with the shell taken off. as nearly as a truly egg can. There are three eggs on the park plant one as large as a pigeon's egg. another the siae of a turkey'a product. ami the third is about five and a half incites long by two and a half wide. Ik color they are Identical to the bluish white of the cooked article of hen production. The laving plant was the great object of attraction in the servatory yesterday, and groups or peo ple stood before it all day, wondering what it was and whether the fruit was rood to eat The blossom is small, ot arten purple hue, ami when the flower drops off a little white egg is seen. This grows to sbout the siae of its cousin, the pearshaped egg plant of commerce. But the white variety preserves the perfect egg shape in all stages of its develop ment It thrives in the open air wherever the purple plant grows, and is culti vated in the same way. Another variety of the same family bears a golden yel low fruit, but the white variety is the onlv one in which the fruit Is of the a " ovoid form. When pressed between the fingers the white fruit is found to possess the same soft elastic feeling as a hard-boiled err. The interior is filled with cells ami small seeds, like tke purpie ptaat of the tomato. Aside from its utility as an article el food it is prised for its rarity and beauty The plant stands about two feet high, and has broad, soft oval leaves of dark green. San Franetseo Examiner.

LBSSOV COtdHKXT. Next to the prayer of Solomon at the dedication of the temple, this kt the longest prayer In the Bible. It brought that tender interview in the upper chamber to a close. After the offering of the prayer, the Master went forth with ilis disciples to the Gardes of Getlisernane. This prayer (except verses 20, 21) applies first to the apostles. aad in a secondary manner to all believers. In this prayer there are three petitions offered by Jesus, whieh aaay well claim our apeeial attention. (1) Jesus prays that Urn dieeipMS may be kept "Holy Father, torn those whom Thou hast given Me" (verse II). Jeeus knew full well the daagere, temp tations and persecutions to whieh they were to be exposed. He longed for their spiritual safety, and hence His prayer for their continued preservation.
