"Your honor," said the prosecuting
attorney, "your bull pup has went and
chawed up the court bible."
. "Well," grumbled the court, "make
the'w'itnesa kiss the dog. We can't
adjourn court to get a new bible."
Record.
If the pay of a $120-a-month rail
road worker fs cut 20 per cent, would
there be anv harm in nipping off 20
per cent of the $4,000 a month or
$5,000 a month or the $10,000 a month
that some of the big boys get?
A New York man who fell sixteen
stories down an elevator shaft was
taken to a hospital to ascertain if he
had been hurt. Perhaps they felt that
there was a possibility that he had
been jarred.
Last year's straw hat would be a lot
more comfortable if the hatmakers
had not made such changes in the
styles.

John Itcnton rose hurriedly from
the hrenkfiist tahlo and plunged for
his hi:t ; thn he plunged fr his wife.
"Jod-ty, desirst," lie pnld. clasping
her as tightly as he rouJ'l, rotiHlderlnu
that he w as holding a derhy and a bug
full of nftlce pnpt-rs., "1 must catch,
that 8:27." '
"O.Mid-by, John," snld Mary Benton,
klsslnir him fondly. 'I do wNh you
dldn;t have to hurry away to that old
oflleo," she added, imtitln(r.
'It won't he for loriR," snld her hns
hnnd. "If our groat new advertising
rheiiie goes through we'll flood the
country with notices of our new pat
ent. Kveryhody will rend them. It's
my own Idea. Can't stop to tell ymi
cow. tlood hy." And, with a hurried
final kiss, he was through the door
and hustetilng toward the station.
Mary slghpd a little then smiled.
She and John had hern married onJy
six months and they were very 'fond
of each other.
Flie put away the hreakfnid things;
then, Hl running at the thought of
hrr hUNlmnd'ft haute, ahe went Into
the little room In which he worked at
nights upon the new advertising plan.
A piece of pnper lay In one corner; It
had evidently fluttered out of hla desk:
and fallen there, unnoticed. Hhq,
picked It up and, gjnnrlng nt It, felt
her heart throh painfully. She could
hardly read the words that danced
before her eyes.
It was a love letter, and It began:
"My dearent, nweetet Jack." It was
typewritten evidently that the writer
might remain Immune tigi.lnst discov
ery, iiml for the same reason It wa
signed "IUinny." And It was Juat ho
sort of foolish mixture of prattle and
endearment that an Ignorant young
flrl would wr'te.
Worst of all", It was headed 2247
Andover street her husband's busi
ness address.
She tried to read It, but the mixture
of shop talk and loving phrases was
too nauseating. Mingled with allu
sions to business affairs were refer
ences to somebody who must be "kept
In the diyk" herself, doubtless. ' And
"Jack" had taken her out to dinner
on the 2tth that was the evening
when he did not come home till eleven.

Mary Ponton huil the quick tamper
which accompanies many lovable na
tures. She flung the letter Into n cor
ner and packed her bag. She was de
termined tq go home to her mother.
She would leave no message merely
the letter on the table. She picked It
up and smoothed out the wrinkles.
Then, nt Xfxc door, she reflected. No,
she wou'd go down to the office and
confront them John and his r.hsnrd
stenographer. Then at Inst she com
tosed herself, dabbed some cologne
upon her eyes, put the letter. In her
bug and started downtown. She would
be very quiet and very calm and give
the womun no occasion to triumph
over her. She would request n fer
moments of John's time, would wnlk
In, lay dojvn the letter, ask him If .he
had anything to say, and then go
home.- She would never return nev
erA ty thla time ishe. hud begun to cry
again. " ...
She went down on n car and en
tered the ilrenry office building. When,
she wi'nt In Khe saw the same office
hoy and bookkeeper; but there wus
a new stenographer, a little, fluffy
haired thing, who chewed gum brnr.en
ly. Her heart sank. Was It possible
that John was attracted by that crea
ture? '
"Why, Mary!" John was at the
doof, look Inn at her with a pur.r.led
expression. He was holding her hands.
"Mary I Wlwt's wrong, dear?
. She could not help her tears. "Send
that woman away," she said In a fnl
teflng voice, and the stenographer
withdrew softly, smiling a little. She
had sen men's wives go to their hus
band's offices before. Mary lien ton en
tered, put dow n her hag and. standing
like a. recording angel, flung down the
letter silently. John lien ton read It
and suddenly brg;m to laugh uproar- '
lously.
"John! You ore laughing 1" ex
claimed his ' wife.
"Rend It aloud mv dear," her hus
bnnd answered. "So you thought
you thought "
"John, what do you mean? Can you
offer any excuse at all? What ys It?'
John llenton read solemnly:
"My dearest, sweetest Jack When
are you going to take me out to din
ner again, as you did on the 29th,
sweetheart? I miss you every hour of
the day more than, I miss Ilalroff,
the new patent scissors for cutting
your own hair. When I see my broth
er's Ilulroff I think of your own dark,
lustrous locks. I "
"Oh, ptdiaw!" said John, throwing
he letter down. That's a ui'meo
graphed circular, Mary; we're flooding!
the country with them. Everybody
will read them and want a pair. Look
at thoe stacks of letters up there,
dearest they're all the same letter,
all thone thousands of them. And yon

But Mary was past thinking now;
she was In his arms, and her tears
were thoe of relief, happiness end!
