WHY

I married my wife, whyf Listen, and I'll tell you. Not because she makes a good pie,

Though sbo can, I tell yon Hot because she's wondrotw wise. Versed in Greek and Latin Hot because sbo likes to dress

In fine silk or satin: Not becatwe she rides a wheel (I still wear the bloomers) Not because in kindliness

All my crochete humors Not because on politics She keeps always posted Kot because she knows bow I

Like my meat when roasted Not because of beauty rare (That is quickly over) Not because while she works bard

I could live in clover Not because sbo does possess Fortune that's immense— 81m ply just because she's got

Good, sound common sense. —Charles W. Hird in Boston Poet.

A BAG OF LETTERS.

A bright fire was barniiig in the etndio of Jack Torrington, the celebrated newspaper artist, and everything indicated that he know thoroughly how to appreciate those comforts to which he had only lately become entitled, for only about a month before Jack, like Lord Byron, "awoke one morning tc find himself famous.".

Bo had had a long and bitter straggle with adverse fortune. For more than tea years he had toiled untiringly, re warded only with poverty, starvation and noglooft. He had lived and worked in a garret, carrying his draw wigs from editor to editor—uJwuju at foot- fm he could not afford to pay omnibus fareonly to be (old that tbey had not enough work to givo to their own staff. But now at last fate had smiled upon him— an enterprising art editor hud "discovered" him—and ho had become tho fashion.

Ho was seated nt his easo before the fire sipping his cofTeo. Ho had already looked over tho dailf paper and thrown it aside. A largo pilo of letters lay on tho tnblo befrido him, but ho had not opened any of them, probably because ho know beforehand what their contents were likely to be. Whon he had completed his meditations on the morning's news, however, ho took one up and opened it. It was from the editor of ono of the leading ladies' weeklies, The Glass of Fashion, and it ran thus "Dear Mr. Torrington—Wo have been

much grutifled"— "Oh, hang the oompliments," exclaimed Jack, and he hung them—that is to say, ho skipped them. "Would you," the editor continued, "have time to undertake ono or two full page drawings for our summer number? The subject would be entirely iyour own choice, but of course it would be something appropriate to tho season. You can name your own price "Oh, most likely," said Jack, and ,, he threw the letter into the Are. This was the editor who had written to him only two years before, "As you do not ©xcol at this kind of work, I fear it will not be possible for us to employ you.'

This letter was followed by ubouta doz on moro from other editors in very much tho satqo terms.

The next letter that Jack picked up was directed in a graceful feminine hand. There was a dainty perfume about it, and thore was a crest on the envelope. "Who the devil can this be?" thought Jack, lie opened it. "Dear Sir—" it began, "Surely I otu not bo wrong in supposing you are the aame Mr. Torrington who was sketching down hero a year ago"— "Let's wo what tho namo is—Anna

Delaey Thorne. Oh, by Jove, I know. It's that woman down in Shropshire who used to como and bother mo to show her my sketches, and who used to tell me how happy I was to be able to do such charming work, and who never once asked me iuto her house to have a cup of tea. Well, what more?" 'Those delightful pen and ink sketches,' Oh, bother. 'Everybody knew that you would 1H famous some day. My husband saw your portrait in one of the papers, and he says lie is quite sum it is you. ets\ Is there any chiwre of your censing down this way next summer? We shouid Ui so glad tc we y«tu, and I shinihl tied you plenty of models.' Thanks, 1 ran do that for mysvlf. 'Have you the sketch still which I admired so ranch of two girls stumiiNK on t!u briu^-' t.wi would it be very expensive?' "Yes, eiaiiiins. if would bo expensive, but you could have h..d it last year for V* shillings. This 1 tier also was toss-

rdlrcctwl in hand the sight of which two or three year# ago would have

oaused all hia pulses to throb with emo tion. "Surely I know that writing," ho said to himself. "Well, I should think I do. Let's see what she has to sayI"

DEAR MB. TORRINGTON—Let me congratulate yon a thousand times on your suooeas. We all knew that you were going to be famous Sooner or later—

"I wonder who 'everybody' is!" Everybody says that you are the first black and white artist of the day. "How strange that you never told me sol" thought Jack.

Your drawings in Up to Date are simply lovely. Mother says she never saw anything that she liked so much in its way. We have bad all the sketches that you made of me framed and hung up, as everybody is asking to see tbem. Could you possibly And time to run down here at Easter? Mother says she would be so pleased you could. The Middletons are to be here, and 1 expect we shall have a jolly time. But I suppose you have so many friends now that you can hardly call your time your own. However, I hope you don't quite forget( old friends.

Jack smiled to himself as he read this—a dreamy smile, full of memories. Two years ago what would not such an invitation have meant to him? A little of that abounding faith in his future which Mabel now declared herself to have felt all along would have done wonders toward helping him to success. And this was the girl who had refused him three times. Three times—nay, 800 times, if he were to count the unspoken language of the eyes. At first it had amused her to pose for bim, but when she found that the sketches were not published she soon wearied of it

Do come, and I wurpoo* for yoo as ranch as you like. Tours very sincerely, MABEX. BTRAFGMAH.

P. B.—Do yop remember tho skotch which you made of me sitting in tho toot under the old wilkrtv? I wondea have ym It |W!'

When Jack had finished reading thi» document, ho tilted back bis chair, threw back his head and laughed aloud. Then he took it up and read it over again, and then he laughed again. His favorite fox terrier, which was lying asleep on the hoarth rug, jumped up at the sound of the unwonted merriment, but finding nothing more interesting than an inanimate bit of paper he curled himself up into a round ball and went to sleep again. Then Jack got up, pushed back his chair, put his hands in his pockets and walked over to the window, humming to himself something which sounded very liko:

And saddlo thou ray gray war steed, For I'll go and woo elsewhere. And tho only letter that ho answered was that from the little model.—Exchange.

A Story of Wilson Barrett. Horo is a good story of Wilson Bar rett. Shortly after ho had joined the theatrical profession lie became a member of a company performing at tho old Theater Royal, Dablin. His part nat urally was a small one, and Mr. Barrett had no expectation whatever of receiving any sign of approval from the audience.

Greatly to his surprise, however, his first small speech was greeted with a round of applause. This unlooked for tribute quite elated the young actor, and ho exerted himself to the utmost in tho endeavor to sustain the good impression ho appoared to have made. He succeeded even beyond his hopes. Everything he said or did was rapturously applauded, and tho principal performers wero thrown completely in the shade.

The "stars" wero of course disgusted, and the rest of tho company lost in amazement, none moro so than young Barrett himself. Ho scarcely supposed that he quite deserved such an ovation but, with the natural vanity of youth, he considerd that these Dublin folk showed a raro appreciatipn of building merit. However, ho was shortly to be undeceived.

Just as he was leaving the theater one of the scene shifters grinningly accosted him: 'Sure, yo wor cock* o' the walk tonight, sir I" "Well, yes, Mickey," returned the actor, witJi pardonablo pride. "I'think 3 knocked 'em a bit, eh?" "Och, sir," said Mickey, "sure it wasn't that at all. but it's got about among the boys that ye're a brothor of tho man that was hung I"

A Fenian named Barrett had thnt morning paid the extreme penalty of the law. "It was very long afterward," said Mr. Barrett in telling the story, "before I again ventured to pride myself upon my acting. "—Pearson's Weekly.

I went in a bank the other day to get a pretty big check cashed. While I was counting my change a stranger pointed to a bill on the floor. It's an old game. The idea is that when the victim stoops to pick up the bill, which the 'con' man placed there himself, tho thief will disappear with the money, which is left on the counter. Of course I didn't bite. 'Thank you,' I said, and placed my foot on the bill. 'Is it yours?" he asked. 'Certainly, sir,' 1 replied. He stood fear a few moments and waited until I had put my money in my pocket and depcr!ed. I was $5 in. The 'eon' man was $o oat"—Chicago Times-Herald.

TERBE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENEN MAIL, DECEMBER 5, 1896.

An Old Time Woman's Club, A writer for the New York Times says there was a woman's elnb in that city in 1797. It was an "association of persons for the promotion of a common cause," a missionary society the mem bers called the Society For the Belief of Poor Widows and Orphans. The society, which was the first one organized for missionary work in New York, was founded by Mrs. Isabella Graham 1797. Continuing the work, 29 young ladies met at Mrs. Ogden Hoffman's, on Wall street, in 1804, and banded them selves together to teach and sew for the children of the "poor widows." Then came the need of caring for the chil dren when the mothers died, and the New York Orphan Asylum society was founded March 16, 1806. The orphan asylum on Riverside drive, between Seventy second and Seventy-third streets, one of the finest institutions the city, is the outcome of the work.

There we.e many names familiar in the early history of New York connected with the society. The "first directress" of the original Orphan Asylum society wait Mrs. Hoffman the "second directress was Mrs. Alexander Hamilton. Mrs. Hamilton continued to be an officer until she removed from New York to Washington.

Jules Breton's Artist Daughter. Virginie Demont-Breton is the only woman painter since Rosa Bonheur to receive the cross of the Region of Hoi or, so rarel given to^ women. She ohoeses greater subjects than her illas trioas senior, in that these subjects are human and her taJent is more versatile and tender. Her color and harmony of toj*?s please the most critical. Her mofh ma PfxiA all and her children to tboar who have bad children of their ewu. They are not impossible, idealized dream children and dream mothers, but real ones sucb as one knows.

Though tno beautiful Joan of Arc child, on her knees in the field, has an inspired look in her face, she is nevertheless like many Frrncb peasant chil dren to be met along any roadside in summer.

Paid Too Much For the Baby. Caleb has three children—John, Mary and Jane. John is tho eldest and so tho most inquiring. Ho had heard that babito bought from doctors, and one day asked his motbor about prices. "Mother, how moch did I cast?" he inquired.

As some "Teply had to be made, his mother said $1,000. John thought it over for a moment, and then asked "How much did you pay for Mary?" "Fifteen hundred dollars." "Why, she cost more than mo. "Yes, girls always cost more than boys." "What did you pay for Jane?" Jane is a little self willed tyrant. "Jane oost $2,000," said Mrs. Caleb, and John lapsed into deep thought

In a few moments ho said, "Mamma, I don't think Mary cost too much, but you got stuck with Jane."—New York Times.

When visiting patients ltnown to be sick with small-pox. scarlet fever, diphtheria or other contagious disease, physicians will clothe themselves in a specially provided clean linen duster, oll-clotn or ruober coat, and a tight fitting cap made of silk, linen, oil-cloth or rubber.

The coat, cap, antiseptic soap, bottle of disinfectant, etc.. shall be carried In a special glazed leather valise, together with a pad of cotton, which Is to be kept wet with formaldehyde.

The disinfectant recommended is a 1 to 5.000 solution of corrosive sublimate, a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid or a 1 per cent solution of lysol. A cake of sublimated or carbolic soap may be conveniently carried In a traveller soap box. The cotton pad Is kept In the case or bag to absorb tho formaldehyde. This chemical is our greatest antiseptic and its vapor will destroy all germs.

It will be well to add to the above outfit a roll of paper napkins and a bundle of small flat pine sticks to be used as tongue depressors. The -paper napkins are suggested because towels can not sometimes be found at the houses of the poor, and If they were found might be infected. Having one's own aper napkins gives perfect independence, 'he wooden tongue depressors may be whittled out of pine, or better, obtain from seed dealers the flat pine markers for flower beds which gardeners use.
