THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. VOL. 18 NO 14 QUEER MARRIAGE PROPOSAL Men Declare their Love Under Strange and Strenuous Conditions. The most unique proposal on record is probably that of a young English- man to a girl somewhat above him on the social scale. Last summer the two accidentally same together at the same seaside boarding-house. They had previously met as friends, but the young fellow had never presumed upon a closer acquaintanceship. One day, while at the boarding house, she asked him to join a party who were going for a day's yachting excursion, and he, of course, readily consented. While the merriment was at its height the girl accidentally fell into the sea. Immediately perceiving what had happened, her admirer sprang overboard and was successful in reaching her and keeping her ahoat. He was an indifferent swimmer, however, and as the night was very dark, both were in danger of drowning before the yacht's boat could reach them. This was evidently what the young fellow feared, and being apparently determined that the girl should, in any case, know of his affection for her, he, in spite of the strangeness of their position, quickly declared his passion. The girl, however, much exhausted and frightened, made no reply, much to the disappointment of the young fellow, who concluded that she was unconscious. Ultimately the two were picked up by the boat and brought safely on board the yacht again, and the party reached home without any further mishap. Next day the girl took the first opportunity of thanking the young fellow in private for saving her life, and judge of his great surprise when she slightly remarked that his proposal at s.a was somewhat mal apropos. Needless to say the young fellow took fresh hope from this hiat, and did not hesitate to propose in the orthodox manner, this time receiving a favorable reply. Not so happy an ending is attached to the story of a proposal made under somewhat similar conditions to the above by a young German, who was a passenger on the ill-fated Elbe, wrecked off Lowestoft in 1895. While on board he conceived a great affection for a certain young lady, but hesitated to speak to her on the matter. When the crash came he succeeded in getting a life-buoy for the girl, and by its aid managed to keep her afloat after the ship had foundered. Although it was an extraordinary place and time for him to declare his infection, the young fellow, doubtless with his mind on future possibilities, proposed while both were struggling in the sea, and to his great delight learned that his love was returned. But his joy was quickly turned to grief, for shortly afterward the rough sea separated them, and although he himself was picked up by a boat, he never saw his sweetheart again. It would require more than an average amount of nerve and coolness on the part of any man to propose to a girl when both were in danger of being burnt to death. A particular feature, however, regarding a fireman's wedding which took place in the Midlands a short time ago, was the fact that he proposed to his bride while trying to rescue her from a burning house. The fire occurred during the night at a country residence at which the young lady was employed as housemaid. At the commencement of the confagrangion no one noticed that she was missing. But when the house was well placed the girl suddenly appeared at one of the top windows, having been broused from her sleep by the smoke. The local brigade not being provided with a firescape, her death seemed almost certain. But her fireman lover quickly darted into the house and at great risk managed to reach her room, but as he did so the stairs behind him collapsed and thus cut off their only apparent means of escape. Doubtless it was the hopelessness of his position and the fear that, his wife would never be known which led the fireman to propose there and then, as thus surrounded by flames and smoke, the two plighted their troth. Fortunately, a long ladder had in the meantime been found at some neighboring works, and after moments of great excitement the two were rescued out in the nick of time. The rarity of prison proposals makes us following instance of Cupid's orange doing particularly interesting, short time ago a clever and notorious French friend named Gorland was sentenced in Paris to a long term imprisonment. While his trial was still proceeding Boirand applied for commission to marry his friend and accomplice, Berthe Daguneau, if she would accent him for a husband. The magistrate thereupon sent for the young woman and laid Golrand's proposal before her. She then confess that she loved him, and that it would be the happiest day in her life if Golrand would marry her. The result of this unique proposal was that the two were married at the local mayor's office with four policemen as witnesses. A French aeronaut some time ago brought himself into unenviable promo- bity by taking a girl up in a balloon order to propose marriage to her. She had often expressed a wish to make a balloon ascent, and according- she had little difficulty in persuading her to make a trip with him. Taking advantage of the opportunity thus aff- rived him, the aeronaut, after reach- ing a certain height, declared his affe- cious in passionate terms, adding that he refused to his suit would cause him to commit suicide by throwing City Locals.

G.McNeal will appear before the Board of Pardon the parole of Clarence Stewart who was sentenced to Kansas Penitentiary for grand larcency, for from one to five years. STOP! JUST THINK. A journalist by the name of Frank A. Munsey, owner of the Argosy Magazine Munsey's Magazine, The Serap Book and a Home Journal of some small circulation, owns and publishes a paper here, which he calls the Washington Times. This Times was started about 4 years and from its birth has useb every base method of yellow journalism to injure the Negro thinking in this step to cater to the prejudices of the community in which his paper has a large circulation and win in the field of competition over the Washington Evening Star a paper which is a model of American journalism. But it has not been satisfied, even under the eye and personal supervision of Frank A. Muusey, to falsify accounts concerning colored people; hence, it issues an advertising folder which contain the very falsely significant paragraph: "Washington, the Capitol of the nation has a population of 355,000 which 95,000 are colored and are disregarded in the Times' circulation. What is said below, therefore applies wholly to the white population." Following this paragraph was one dealing with wealth and income which in no wise reekoned with the colored people, and then came the following: "The Times has not only not sought circulation among the colored people, but it has deliberately avoided it and in its news columns has shown emphatically that it is a paper for white people." The above is surely convincing, and we call upon the colored people all over the country to strike from their list of reading mater any and everything with which Frank A. Munsey has anything to do. He is using his organ to degrade you and debase you, and honor anb self-respect demand that you resent his unjust imputation and contemptible slur and malicious falsehood. His Times is like the politician who never wants office: He always has his hand out for money; and while Frank A. Munsey is declaring he does not want colored people to take his papa', his agents pleads with the colored people to subscribe and his collectors are calling upon them as upon the whites. But the sad part of it is, some of the colored people continue to buy and read this penny sheet, which was coceived in sin and born in iniquity. Strike back at this pernicious influence and crush this serpent's head; unless you prefer to slander and abuse rather than stand where you can and where it is your duty to stand for the right. Touch not and handle not any that comes from Munsey.—Plaindealer. Publication Notice In the District Court of Wyandotte [County Kansas. Nathaniel Singlotary, Plaintiff, vs. No. 20168.

Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but ever so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference. SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Milli- tary. Writer. A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Bread Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so, because he mentions incidentally, as a matter regarding which there can be no dispute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the attacking Japanese infantry not infrequently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and burdensome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched enemy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt suggests that on the march the shield should be carried on the back, when going into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and rifle rest. YOUR HAIR SHOULD BE DRAB. That is the Fashionable Color, So an Authority Says. "Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season," said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the advance style in dress goods. "One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades on her wavy tresses. Having been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravishing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. "Next she took to titian red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. "The last is by far the most popular of all for the reason that is most difficult to obtain, and then it is pretty generally becoming, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost always clever. "How is it done? Well, in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler problem. The color lasts a year, while the head can be washed and even salt water bathing does not affect it."—New York Sun. What Money Will Do. They say that money can not buy the sweetest things in life—Health, friendship, respect, content, or e'en a loving wife. They say that money can not buy these things for me, alas! But I—No, I cannot!

Well—I don't know! What bought the most delightful wife A man could hope to win! What buys her every wish in life— The clothes she dazzles in? And if I need to do me, And I am not adored, you see. Well—I don't know! And heaven? Oh, of course. I don't Expect to get in free; But if the Lord meant what he said Concerning charity. The tite I will give me I die Will slip me through the needle's eye. Or—I don't know! For happiness? Well, money bought This ninety-cent cigar; It bought this chair in which I lol, It bought this private car; It bought the cognac—and, I guess, If all this happens, Well—I don't know! Not a Good Advertisement. A Welsh judge had before him a ease in which a printer sued a pork butcher for the value of a large parcel of paper bags with the butcher's advertisement printed thoreon. The printer, having no suitable illustration to embellish the work, thought he improved the occasion by putting an elaborate royal arms above the man's name and address, but ultimately the latter refused to pay. The judge, looking over a specimen, observed that for his part he thought the lion and the unicorn were much nicer than an old fat pig. "O well," answered the butcher, "perhaps your honor likes to eat animal like that, but my customers don't. I don't kill lions and unicorns—I only kill fat pig!" Verdict for defendant.—New York World.

Reasons for lateness were not much varied. At the top of the page one would write "Train delayed," or "Omnibus horse died," as the case might be, and the rest fell into the habit of making ditto marks and letting it go at that. But not long ago one man had a new excuse. He wrote with pride: "Wife had twins." The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his customary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit.

"Lincoln persevered," he said, "and it is only those who persevere, they who concentrate their energies, who succeed. Don't give three years to journalism and then, discouraged, try the law awhile.

Rockefeller in Court. ```markdown ``` Judge Landis of the U. S. court, at Chicago upon whom devolves the imposing of fines which may aggregate over $29,000,000 against the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana for violating the anti rebate law, decided that he must know whether the parent Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey owned the other, for the reason that the stock of the Indiana Company appears to be only $1,000,000, and the testimony shows that it is in debt $5,000,000, and to impose a large fine would bring the act within the constitutional inhibition against cruel and excessive fines. In prosecuting the inquiry the Judge supoenaed John D. Rockefeller and other Standard Oil Co. officials. The appearance of Mr. Rockefeller in court was the cause of drawing together an unusually large crowd of people, who jammed the hallways and surged up and down the stairs out into the streets. On taking the stand Mr. Rockefeller swore that he was President of the Standard Oil of New Jersey, but the office was honorary and that he had not been in touch with the business for a dozen years. He was courteous, but wholly unable to answer the main question as to the ownership. Charles M. Pratt, the secretary of the company, who followed Mr. Rockefeller on the stand, was asked by the judge if the estimate given by Mr. Rockefeller as to the outstanding capital stock of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey was about $100,000,000. The witness replied: "I think it is not quite that. It is about $98,300,000. Something like that. That is within a few dollars of the amount." "Did you hear his statement as to the approximate amount of dividends paid by the company during the years 1903 1904 and 1905?" "I did." "He was uncertain as to the exact amount. He stated 40 per cent." "I think that was correct, your honor. That was the average." "Do you remember the net earnings of the company during those three years?" "I do very clearly, your honor. I think for the first year they were $81, 300,000, approximately. This was 1903." Schmitz Sentenced. The sentencing to five years in the penitentiary of Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco by Judge Dunne was the occasion of an unusual display of frontery by a convicted felon. As the court proceeded in the customary, wanner, to comment upon the crime Schmitz interrupted to say that he was there to receive his sentence and not to be lectured and humiliated. Judge Dunne was prejudiced against me and that it was impossible to secure in his court a fair trial. The animus that he has treasured in his heart for some time came clearly and positively to the surface this morning. I have never asked for lenency, but I have expected, as every American citizen has the right to expect, justice. I ask the people to withhold their fli "It's not unusual" was Judge Dunne's stinging reply, "for courts to be brought into contact with such brazen acts of effrontery as yours in the present instance. It is the duty of the court in such cases to view the conduct of a convicted felon with patience and toleration, not to say pity. By your conviction you will lose the respect and esteem of all good men and citizens. You will suffer the humiliation of knowing, I say that your career of hypocrisy, duplicity and dishonor has been exposed and that you stand before those who believed in and honored you morally, naked, shamed and disgraced." "I deny that," cried Schmitz. "The people of San Francisco know how I was railroaded through." Judge Dunne resumed: "It is in the knowledge of these things rather than in any mere term of imprisonment in a state penitentiary that the full measure of your punishment be found. It is the judgment of this court that you be confined in the state prison at San Quentin for a term of five years." Immediately after resuming his seat at the counsel table Schmitz dictated the following statement to the Associated Press: The court wherein I received my sentence for the charge of extortion again demonstrates and more clearly than anything else that it has heretofore done, a charge I made upon my immediate return from the East, that The Alexandria correspondent of the Manchester Guardian writes: "The census of Egypt, concluded several days ago, places neither Calro nor Alexandria so high in the rank of cities as was expected.

Kindly answer and give your views on the following; What is optimism? Do the greater portion of the people of the universe favor or disapprove of optimism; in other words, is there any animosity against optimism such as there is against anarchism? Do you believe that people who have optimistic views live happier and worry less than others? By so doing you will greatly oblige. Very yours.—J. C. S. Webster tells us that optimism is the belief that everything in nature is ordered for the best. It is the philosophy which bids us to look always on the hopeful and bright side of events. Not being personally acquainted with the greater portion of humanity, the second query of my correspondent I am unable to answer. I believe the best and most highly developed beings belong among the optimists. There is not, to my knowledge, any deep-seated animosity toward optimism. Why should there be? There are selfish and inactive people who justify their indifference to the needs of humanity by claiming to be optimists, and declaring that God will work everything out for the best without their interference. But it is not interference with God's plans to try to make the world a better and kinder place for people to live in. This is what God wants us to do without doubt, while we keep our belief that everything is working toward good, and only add our assistance because it is a pleasure to a be helpful part of His great mechanism. I most certainly believe that the optimist is much happier and obtains more success in everything he undertakes than the man who leeks upon the dark and gloomy side of things. The optimist is like the swimmer plays with the tide, the pessimist battles his way against it. The optimist does whatever he believes will aid humanity, to higher plain. When his efforts fail, he believes the progress will nevertheless continue. The pessimist belongs to God's misfit hunter—Houston Chronicle. Musings of a Gentle Cynic. Mussings of a Gentle Gyne.

People good enough for self-government have it. The old world may be wrong, but it cannot be righted in a day. Independence in men or in nations an achievement, not a bequest. There is only one thing worth fighting for, talking for, writing for, and it is freedom. Every government exists by the constellation of the governed, and the people about the kind of government they serve. If some men had not questioned the price of the law and defied the law, they would be today no such thing freedom. the law in America is for the people of the people, and by the people, when this is not the case the people themselves to blame. We are all just getting rid of our nices. Listen closely anywhere, even among the honest and intellectual peo- and you can detect the rattle of us. For the first time in the history of world, it is the general feeling of mind that freedom of thought and mind is a good thing, and that the ones can safely be trusted with it. Our power is great enough to bind mind—thought forever escapes. We civil liberty to all, not by approvable religions, but by permitting in those what Providence allows.

"Now, generally speaking, is the capital represented by the outstanding stock something under $100,000,000 of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey employed in the refinement, distribution and sale of the products of petroleum?"

"I think, approximately, that percentage of the stock is controlled by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey." "I think so."

The animus that he has treasured in his heart for some time came clearly and positively to the surface this morning. I have never asked for lenency, but I have expected, as every American citizen has the right to expect, justice. I ask the people to withhold their final judgment in this matter until the iniquitous proceedings which have been held in Judge Dunne's court since the beginning of my trial shall be brought before the highest court. I have never asked for mercy and before a court where I did not receive a fair trial I certainly did not expect it. I intend not only to fight this case by step, but all the charges that have been brought against me and with the knowledge in my own conscience of my entire innocence I expect to be successful in the contest. I now repeat what I have stated already, that I will be a candidate for mayor of the city and county of San Francisco this fall, when the people of San Francisco will have an opportunity by their vote of demonstrations whether they believe me guilty or innocent.

The interstate commerce commission in an opinion by Commissioner Prouvy, has announced its decision in the case of Howard Mills Company against the Missouri Pacific Railway Company and other carriers. The complainant alleged that the defendant carries unduly discriminated against Kausas millers in favor of California millers by exacting rates for the transportation of flour which was 10 cents greater per 100 pounds than the rates contemporaneously exacted for transportation of wheat from Wichita and other shipping points in Kansas to points in California known as "Pacific coast terminals," and also by exacting rates for the transportation of flour which were 35 cents per 100 pounds greater than the rates contemporaneously exacted by them for the transportation of wheat from the said shipping points to Phoenix, A. T. The commission decided that the flour rates between the shipping and destination points should not exceed the wheat rates between such points by more than 7 cents per 100 pounds. The commission says that there is no inflexible requirement that rates upon grain and the products of grain should be under all circumstances the same, but rather that carriers may, in just regard for their own interests or to meet special conditions, vary those rates within narrow limits. When, however, the relation has been established, business developed and money expended upon the strength of it, then the carrier cannot in the absence of some sufficient reason, change that relation, nor would the commission direct such a change.

A MATTER OF FACT WIFE. By Florence E. Eastwick. Dick was late. Half a dozen times already his wife had gone to the window and looked out into the fog-bound street. She could just discover the glimmer of a lamp some yards away. It looked like a big orange-colored sequin set on billows of creamy chiffon—that was her woman's thought, and she smiled to herself at imagining Dick's derision when she should tell him of the quaint conceit. His artistic perceptions were always being shocked with what he called her "terribly matter-of-fact" ideas. She went back to the fire and stirred it into a blaze; then, humming a gay little song, she put the copper kettle on to boll. Surely he must come in a few minutes now. She frowned as she glanced at the clock. He had promised to be home early, but of course the trains would be late in the fog. A figure passed the window. With a cry of pleasure she was out of the room in a second and opening the front door. "You bad boy!" she chided, then stopped agast. A stranger stood on the door-step, looking up in inquiringly at the number. The man lifted his hat awkwardly. The light from the hall fell on a short-cropped head of dark hair, and the cold stare of a pair of beady black eyes. "Does any one live here of the name of Hamblin?" he asked in a rasping voice. Neither the man's tone nor his appearance were exactly reassuring, coming from the silence of the fog outside. Di Hamblin was keenly alive to the fact that she was quite alone in the house, but she had lived for some years in a Canadian shack, and the quiet of this London suburb seemed almost as liveliness when compared to the oppressing solitude of that other life. There was not the slightest quiver to betray her anxiety as she answered: "Mr. Hamblin is out at present." The man came a step nearer. "Am I speaking to his wife?" he interrogated with abrupt roughness. Di's slight figure stiffened perceptibly. "I am Mrs. Hamblin," was the only reply she vouchsafed. There was something insolent and threatening underlying his questions, which roused her indignation. "Perhaps you'll have no objection to my coming in and waiting until Mr. Hamblin returns. I've some special business to see him about." Character In the Eyes. Character in the Eyes. No two pairs of eyes are exactly alike, and it would be impossible to give any fixed set of rules for reading character from the eyes. A person must rely upon his own keen judgment for that. However, here are a few general hints on the characteristics "I could not say at all when he will be back," Di said, with an ineffectual attempt to close the door. But he was already past her and inside the hall. "This looks cosy! Dick Hambin's in luck!" he said, with an ugly chuckle, as he unceremoniously stepped into the sitting-room and surveyed the tea table, spread ready near the fire. Di took pride in her pretty room. It was to make this home for her that Dick had toiled in the days which were gone, and a soft gleam came into her blue eyes as she answered simply: "Yes, it's comfortable and home-like." "Comfortable and homelike, comfortable and homelike," he repeated, going slowly round the room, looking at the bits of knick-knacks on the tables, the books and flowers, and then scrutinizing the framed sketches on the walls. He pointed a finger at these last. "Hamblin's own? He was always a clever one with his paint brush. I remember, when a boy at school, he'd take off the masters to a T." Dl was interested immediately. "At school? Did you know him at school?" she asked in surprise. The visitor laughed. "Aye, and afterwards—and afterwards." His way of repeating words lent an emphasis to them that suggested some hidden meaning. He came across and stood looking at her while passing a lean hand over his stubby chin. "He and I wore at school near Tiverton, when we were kids. Afterwards he went up in the world, to college; and I went down in the world, to the mines." Again he laughed, enjoying his grim humor. But his knowledge of Dick's antecedents were at least accurate, and Di felt that he demanded some concessions from her, for Dick had spoken often of his childhood in Devon with the warm affection that men give to the land of their birth. So she busied herself with making the tea, and kept up a desultory conversation, while Dick's old school-fellow made havoc of the cake which had been prepared for her lord's homecoming. The darkness closed in round the window, and twice the clock on the mantel-piece had chimed, but still no Dick appeared. "I'm afraid it is no good your waiting; he must have been delayed in town." Di was saying when she heard the latchkey turn in the lock. "Ah, there he is!" They moved toward the door. "Dick, here's——" Di was beginning, then stopped short at the change in her husband's face as he caught sight of her companion. The latter announced sardonically: "We've no need of an introduction, have we, Hamblin? You remember your old chum, Raxton?" "What are you doing here?" was the curt rejoinder. "Just paying an afternoon call, having tea with Mrs. Hamblin, and talking over old times." He caused, then added: "Talking over old times in Devonshire, when we were at school. We hadn't get beyond that when you came in." It seemed to Di's observant eyes that an expression of relief came over Richard Hamblin's face at these words. He turned towards his wife now. "Di, leave us for a moment. I have some private business with Mr. Raxton." A harsh laugh echoed in her ears as she went cut, closing the door after her Private business! with such a man as this!—a man whose grade in life was surely stamped upon his evil face. She hesitated at the foot of the stairs. Was it safe to leave the two men alone beyond call of voice. She had an intuition of coming disaster; at least she would remain near at hand. The little kitchen at the back was dark, save for the red glow in the grate. She stood there quietly, and Dick's voice, as clear as if he had been beside her, said:— "How dare you come to this house?" Then Di saw before her a silver streak like a rift in the wall, and she knew that the shutter of the service shelf, between the kitchen and the other room, was slightly open. She would hear every word that was said. Was it right to listen? "No harm done! I've told her nothing, so far," the other rasping note sensibility of character and a capacity and willingness for work. Their owner is also likely to be fond of enjoyment, jealous and often inquisitive. Deep set eyes receive impressions accurately and definitely. Great thinkers usually have had cold gray eyes, for gray is the color of eyes and talent. Eyes of this voice was saying; and Dick broke in passionately: "If you had, I would have killed you!" "Yes, that's in your line, killing is," came with a sneer, followed by a muffled oath from Dick. Then the other man continued: "Keep your hands off me, Hamblin, unless you wish me to shout out the news for her and all the world to hear." "You brute! you devil!" Dick groaned. Then, in a sharper tone. Di heard the words: "What's your price? Name it and be gone." "Ah! that's more like. I'm sorry to have to trouble you, but my account at the bank is low, and a couple of hundred would come in useful now." The man was dunning Dick for money. This was blackmail, and Di meant now to know the reason why. She was his wife, and, right or wrong, she would learn all she could of his trouble. "Do you think I keep two hundred pounds in my pocket? Why not ask for a couple of thousand while you're about it?" "Oh! I'm reasonable; I don't ask for more than I can get. I know you can lay your hands on that amount, anyway." Dl could tell that Dick was pacing up and down the room. "You shall have fifty; not a penny more. I've got ten upstairs; you can take that and a check for the rest." "No thanks. Checks are not to my liking. Money down and two hundred pounds, if you please." "I tell you I haven't got it. Do your worst, you scoundrel! I'll give you nothing." Raxton must have thought he had over-reached himself, for he said in a more conciliatory tone: "Oh, well, I don't want to be hard on an old schoolmate. You can give me the ten pounds and bring the rest to me tomorrow morning—honor bright, and no tricks! outside Charing Cross." From where she stood Dl heard her husband go up the stairs. Then, fearless and with blazing eyes, she confronted Dick's tormentor. She pointed to the door. "Go, this moment—unless you want me to call in the police!" Raxton's face darkened and an expression of horrible ferocity came into his eyes. "Is that your game, my lady? Two can play at that, and so you'll find when I've told the police what I know about Dick Hamblin." "What do you know?" Di said, brave as a lioness defending her young. "Shall I say it out, Hamblin—shall I tell your wife." the brute demanded as Dick re-entered the room. "Di, dear, don't mix yourself up in this business. Here, take this!" He held out the crisp notes, but Di's hand intervened and clasped tightly over them; such a small hand, but its power had quelled many an untrained animal on her father's ranch; and what she held, it would be difficult to wrest from her. "Not one farthing, D ck, until I hear the rest of the story. I've heard something, and I can guess a little from what I heard. Now go on with it." She stood between them, defiant, proud. Perhaps the devil in Raxton urged him to crush her fearless spirit, to humiliate her beauty in the dust. Anyway, he spoke out. "Since you're so anxious, here you are. It's not a pretty story. This fine fellow has managed to cheat the hangman! and I've helped him by holding my tongue when a few words from me would have settled his fate." Di looked from Raxton to Dick. The white anguish on her husband's face, without sign of repudiation on it, seemed only to confirm what had been said. There was a ring of triumph in Raxton's voice as he went on: "I dare say you've never heard of the 'Crediton Mystery,' as they call it, when two young fellows were found lying in the road. The one was quite dead with his head battered out of recognition, and his friend beside him in a drunken sleep. The friend's name was Richard Hamblin, and he owed the other, Stiles by name, a good bit of money. Sounds bad, doesn't it? There were suspicions of a murder, but the landlord of an inn swore that the two young men had dined at his place and that Hamblin was almost helplessly drunk when he Green eyes are rare, and are seen more frequently in women than in men. They denote courage, energy and pride. Occasionally they accompany a jealous, vengeful disposition. Black eyes are difficult to read. They often show a quick disposition, and sometimes are treacherous. Round eyed persons are not great left there. No steps were taken against him; there was no evidence." "No evidence!" Di heard herself repeating, and her voice sounded strange and hollow, but she still kept her eyes on Raxton's face and held him with her gaze. "No evidence except what I could have supplied. I saw the deed done. I saw Hamblin, in his mad fury, and when he fell down in his drunken sleep I took the loaded stick—his stick—and threw it among the trees." There was silence in the room. By the fire Dick leant his two arms on the mantelpiece and hid his face; and Di stood rigid with a face like marble and lins compressed. Raxton held out his hand for the money. "Best give it over and let me go." he said. "I've been silent ten years, and I'm willing to remain so—if it's made worth my while." "Stop a minute!" Di's voice was low but bell-like: it vibrated as with an inspired thought. "You say that you alone witnessed the crime and hid the weapon; yet the landlord swore Dick Hamblin was helplessly drunk. You confess you were there; then you, and you alone, must have committed the crime. You are the person, not Dick, who has cheated the hangman! You have given yourself away, it strikes me. Look at his guilty face, Dick, and say if I am not right." Raxton's face had turned a greenish, livid hue. He made a spring towards Di in his rage, perhaps with the intention of seizing the money from her grasp. But Dick was too quick for him, and struck the wretched creature back against the wall. Then Di caught her husband's arm. "Don't sell your hands by touching him, Dick!" she cried. Raxton shook his fist with impotent malice at them as he gained the door. "We shall see, we shall see!" he said between his teeth, and the the door crashed to behind him. "Oh, Dick, Dick! why did you never tell me, dear? Could you not trust me?" Di sobbed, with her arms around her husband's neck. He held her close and kissed her brown hair. "I was a coward. I dreaded that you should know and cease to love me. He found me out in Canada; it was just after we were married. Raxton threatened to tell you, I thought you might believe his story, but, as God sees me, Di, I never had an unkind thought of poor Stiles. He was a wild fellow, extravagant and reckless, and led me in to evil ways, but I would not have harmed a hair of his head in my right senses. After that dreadful night I could remember nothing of what had occurred; I thought I might have done it without knowing." "Never! never!" Di cried, raising her face to his. "You could never be cruel or vindictive. Your heart is too good and kind for you to commit an awful deed like that!" All her loving faith in him was pictured in her eyes. "Oh, Dick, did you think I should ever doubt you?" she cried. He kissed her sweet lips. "It has hung over me like an evil dream," he said presently. "I was young and foolish at the time, but it sobered me once and for all. And Raxton—I believe Di, you are right, and we shall hear no more of him! He was always a violent fellow, and he did not get on with Stiles; but what made you think he'd done it?" She passed her hand softly across his brow. She was smiling, but there were tears in her eyes. "Ah, Dick, perhaps, after all, it's as well for you that you have got such a matter-of-fact little wife." A Ne Wonder.

Woman is the direct, immediate victim of our modern view of matriarchy. Man, as usual, escapes very easily—if he does not have the ability or courage to assume the responsibility of founding a family in the midst of a society which is hostile and piratical, instead of being kind and encouraging, as would be more natural, he remains unmarried, but without renouncing the full gratification of all his instincts. He has the tacit permission of society to procure the pleasures of woman's companionship when and where he can; it calls his selfish enjoyments successes and surrounds them with a kind of romantic halo, so that the amiable vice of a Don Juan arouses a sentiment composed of envy, sympathy and secret admiration. If he marries without love to procure certain substantial advantages he is allowed by custom to seek right and left the pleasures which he does not find in the society of his wife, or if this is not exactly allowed it is yet not considered a crime which should exclude him from intercourse with respectable people. Quite the reverse is the case where woman is concerned. By the present organization of society she is compelled to look upon marriage as the onlip possible, refuge from disgrace, poverty and even starvation. What is the lot of the unmarried woman? Her familiar appellation, old mald, contains a scornful sting. The solidarity of the family does not extend usually into the maturer years of the children. When the parents die, the brothers and sisters separate. Each one wishes to tread alone the path of life, and the constant companionship of the rest becomes a burden. The girl who is too sensitive to wish to be an encumbrance to either brother or sister, especially if they are married, finds that she is alone in the world, far more solitary than the Bedouin in his desert. Shall she found a house of her own? It would be an inhospitable and dreary place, for no masculine friend could sit down by the fireplace without arousing the gossip of the neighborhood. Feminine friendships are rare and beyond a certain point unnatural, and least of all would she introduce a sister in misfortune into her home to add to its melancholy and bitterness. Some wise being is all ready with the advice: She need not concern herself about the gossip of other women, but let her assemble the congenial friends around her whom she may. But with what right does this strong and independent character advise a gentle, timid girl to reauounce for life the satisfaction she obtains from the respect and appreciation of her equals, a satisfaction which appeals with effect to even the strongest of us. A reputation is a very substantial possession and the opinion of one's social equals plays the most important part in the inner and outer life of the individual. And shall the lonely maiden throw away her titre to this possession? She would then pass her life among strangers, more dependent than if married, more exposed to calumny than the married woman, the preservation of her reputation her incessant and tormenting care, for society requires it untarnished, although it does not offer her the natural prize for it—the husband. To emerge unharmed from such a struggle requires real heroism a her oism for which there is no reward. The old maid who has lived the life of a saint amid manifold temptations finds no recompense, no assurance in her heart which asks: "Why did I struggle? Has my victory benefited any one? Is society its hard, selfish maxims worthy of the sacrifice I offered upon its altar—my life's happiness? And the answer is apt to be an emphatic "No." Two of a Kind. A Leeds clergyman was returning late the other night from a social meeting when suddenly out of a dark doorway a man sprang upon him with intent to rob. After some ineffectual protestations the clergyman said, "Surely you wouldn't rob a clergyman?" "That don't make any matter to me," replied the thief. But after a moment's reflection he added, "Stay; what's yer religion?" "Methodist." "Lor' love yer, that's the same as myself. Yer can go."—Tatler. A Way Out of Troubles "Are you not afraid to have such bad reports at school, Karl?" "Oh, no! I call papa up on the telephone first, and give him the figures, and then before I get home he is all over his anger."—Fllegende Blaetter. The path of duty is the path of han Dish washing is usually more dreaded by the woman who does her own work than any other portion of the "daily round." Pots and pans are not interesting in the least degree, as most people have an opportunity to discover sooner or later in the course of a lifetime, but they need not be such bugbeers, as they are in nine cases out of ten. Most housewives have their own method of dish washing and stick to it, because they have grown accustomed to it, rather than because of any merit it may have. A little thought on the subject, however, will show many simple ways of lightening the burden. Where a family is very small and breakfast a light meal, of fruit, cereal, coffee and rolls, there is really no reason for washing dishes but once a day, preferably in the morning, when the working garb is worn and mind and body fresh and vigorous. But don't under any circumstances invite insects into your house by leaving piled up dirty dishes. Nothing so clearly betokens slovenicens as this. Dishes should be scraped and rinsed after each meal—an easy matter where one has hot and cold water faucets—and piled up neatly with a cloth thrown over them. The cooking utensils are easily washed if cold water is put in those in which vegetables have been cooked and very hot water used for those that are greasy. After this takes but a few moments to get them quite clean with a brush kept for the purpose. All this may be done as the dinner is being dished for serving. Where the family is a large one, it is necessaary, in most instances, to have the dishes washed and out of the way after each meal, for space is both valuable and scarce in the average kitchen and butler's pantry. Children always save the best ploss of any goodie for the last bite, and this isn't a bad thing for us all to figuratively speaking—even when it is a question of housework. In connection with dish washing this idea may be carried out by having all the pots and pans cleaned and put away before doing the pretty silver, glass, and china. If particles of food refuse to come off entirely, put in a bit of washing powder with a little hot water, set the kettle on the stove, boil hard for a few moments, and the disagreeable task is practically accomplished. Scrape all the dishes and pile in order, wipe off the silver with tissue paper that may be thrown away afterward, and soak glasses that have milk in cold water. Have two pans of very hot water one clear, for rinsing, the other will enough soap to form good suds. If there is no draining basket available spread a cloth folded several times and drain the dishes on this. Begin operations by washing glass thoroughly in the suds, rinses and dry, while quite hot on a linen towel. For cut-glass use a brush as the goes into every crevice. Put glasses away right side up, otherwise they will blur and look cloudy. Wash and dry silver next, and if any pieces need polishing do it now, for it saves labor and time in the long run. In the washing of dishes towels hold an important place. They should be plentiful and absolutely clean and dry if dishes are to look well. Much less rubbing is required to achieve a good polish than where towels are wet and not quite fresh. How to Manage a Husband. According to an exchange this is the way to treat "Him."
