Why Robert
A Sher Starr ay
' " "You will be ure to come, Helen?"
"Ot course I lhall, Robert, unleM I hav
fealler. Ooodby."
How young and hinrtrom my husband
looked as ha turned at the car line to wava
ana a last goodby, and then he wu gone
gone for all day among the trlala and
temptation of city life.
Aa I stood on our tiny porch looking Into
the little garden, beautiful aa Only nature
Is beautiful, I thouaht no wife rould be as
happy as I, and aa I went about my tnorn
! Ing tanks snatches of fy songs fell from
' my lip. The future looked bright that
! morning. Robert had been promoted with
increase In salary, and aa we had been tnar
l ried six months this waa welcomed gladly,
' as It meant more comfort In Our humble
'. home.
It was quite a mystery to me why Robert
', Insisted so strongly that I should come to
' the factory o meet him every night at
o'clock, Juet when I wanted to be getting
his dinner, but he would laughingly tell me
I he "wanted to watch his cook," so, of
' course, I went, as I was glad to see Robert
after my long day at home alone. I some-
times shrank from the' rough men and
I women I met at the factory. Robert,- who
was now head bookkeeper. Mr. Fairbanks,
; the Inspector, and Mr. Miles, the proprietor,
were the only men besides the "hands"
. whom I saw at the factory, but Robert
eften bpoke of James Brown aa one of the
force, but I never saw him at the factory
; and neglected to inquire why there came
a time when I had reason to ask why.
' After my houae was put In order and I
.' had donned a cool morning wrapper I took
! my needlework and sat among my pets In
' ,eur "luxury," as w termed our tiny gar
,den. As my neighbors were slow to call
: and aa I waa a stranger In the city I often
felt like the ppet "that there is no loneli
ness like the loneliness of a great city."
It wss neartng 5 o'clock and I was Just
t .putting on my hat to go . to the factory
'.when two very gaily-dressed young ladies
I came In at our gate. I Invited them Into
t our cosy parlor and we spent a pleasant
half hour In commonplace remark until
:' Miss Vender asked ma "how I liked my new
' tome?"
i
"Very much, Indeed. I am quite proud
W my tiny garden."
( ; "Yes, wa wondered how Robert could
: afford a houae and garden, but since he has
been promoted and you go to meet him
very night It la eaelly explained."
They stayed on for another half hour, but
. J heard and answered as one in a dream.
What did she mean? Ifow did she know
Robert was promoted? We hud the houae be
fore he was promoted, and how could my
'going to meet Robert possibly affect his
' . financial condition?" These and a thousand
ether questions raced through my brain
' until It seemed on Are. At last they rose
to go Just as the clock struck 6 too late
'..to aee Robert at the factory, but I would
walk down the street until I met him, so
as I turned down L street I saw Robert
. and a strange man arm In arm talking
. earnestly, and stopping In front of a fine
building the stranger ran lightly up the
'. ateps, evidently expecting Robert to follow,
for aa he turned around Robert, with one
. toot on the step, saw me, and as. I cams
tip to him his face waa very pale and he
' fcald tremblingly, "Oh, Helen, you are Just
' In time" "Just In time to meet your
Mend If you will be so kind," I said laugh
ingly. "Mr. Brown-Mrs. Stone."
"Good evening, Mr. Brown; I had begun
, to believe your existence a myth. Robert
ften spoke of you, bat1 you Were never
t the factory."
. "My duties keep me at my private office
,. At the time you visit' our factory and, as I
, am a busy man, I wish you good evening."
Lifting hla hat he passed into hi pri
vate (?) office.
. "Robert, are you not well?" I asked as
.wa hurried horns. He did not answer me,
but as soon as wa were Inside our home
he flung his arms around me and pressed
ma to hla breast, and a I looked up in
his face I saw tears in his eyes, and, think
ing him tired 1 went quickly Into the
kitchen to prepare supper. Ah, how much
'better It would be If wives would be a
companion Instead of a servant. How much
better to attend to their intellectual needs
and share their burdens than to attend
only to physical needs. Bo engrossed was
2 In preparing the meal that I almost forgot
the conversation of the afternoon, and
- when I did 'remember It I decided to aay
nothing about it, a T did not wish to
trouble my husband. So wa did not refer
to the evening's adventures again and I
continued to go to the factory every even
ing to walk home with Robert, yet I did
not sea Mr. Brown again for soma time.
'. The summer passed very pleasantly and
, all went well until, In early autumn, I was
taken very sick with a fever and during
this sickness Miss Vender was very kind to
we In fact, nursed me as If I was a sister,
and wa became very fast friends, spending
many hours together as I became better,
At last I was again able to take up my
household duties and' resumed the accus.
tomed plans, except my visit to the fac
tory. Some way I did not feel the want
of Robert's society so much now, as Miss
Vender spent so "much time at our home
that my spare moments were devoted to
her, and It was her custom to com at
about ( o'clock for our afternoon chat. In
fact, it was she who obaerved one evening
that Robert waa late home so often and
that she Imagined he looked pale and worn,
I remarked that he was probably doing
extra work, although I had forgotten to
Inquire why he was late. I determined to
peak to him about It that evening.

noticed that he seemed very tired, and,
going out to meit him, I asked:
"Robert, why are you so late? Are you
doing extra work so as to pay the doctor
bill without drawing on our tiny 'rulny
day' nest egg? If you are, you must stop
it, as you look positively haggard tonight."
"Now, my Helen, who put that Into your
pretty head? Iesve the doctor's bill to
me and go get me aome dinner, for I am
nearly starved." But I noticed that he
ate but a mouthful, and I resolved to go to
the factory at 6 next evening and speak to
Mr. Miles In regard to Robert's over
working himself.
Bo at half-pant 5 I set out to go to the
factory, but ere I had gone far I found t
was not to escape Ml Vender, for I met
her on the way to see me, but I deter
mined to do my duty, so I told her sh
would have to excuse me, as I had set out
to meet Robert.
"Just the thing," she cried, "come Into
this millinery shop and help me select a
fall hat and you can sea Robert as he
passes." Unwillingly I went with her. and
In a few minute I saw Robert and Mr.
Brown go by, arm In arm as before, but
on Robert's face there was a terrible look
of anguleh. Why wa I so suspicious?
Why did my heart fall me? Should I
follow? Of course, Robert was on his way
home early tonight. These thoughts came
crowding through my brain and I came
out of the shop Just In time to see Robert
and Mr. Brown enter that gentleman's
"private office." Should I go in? Yes, it
wss only some private business, but I
knew Robert would not mind, so I opened
the door, and the first sound that met
my ears was the swish, swish, of cards
the sight that met my eyes as I
looked in at the door opposite me
turned my blood to stone. There
sat my trusted husband, paie ae
death, opposite him sat James Brown;
upon the table between them lay pile
of money, CM I afterward learned,' all of
Robert's salary drawn that day. As I
tccped upon the polished floor Robert
looked up, his eyes met mine, and with a
groan and a whispered, "too late," his head
sank upon the table. Without noticing
Mr. Brown' "Good avenlng," I went
wlftly to my husband' side, crying out,
Robert, my boy, my trusted husband,
how could you"
Without a word he arose and, trembling
with every step, he led me to the door.
saying, "Let u go home, Helen.
By the time we reached home the ner
vous strain under which I had been gave
way, and after Robert had quieted me,
looking Into my face, he said, adly, "Once
you were Just- In time, do you remember.
do you understand now why I wished you
to come to the factory every night. You
did not know- that you had married a
gambling fiend, but, oh, my wife, my wife.
It is terrible that you must suffer so. I
have ruined"
Hush, Robert, every word you utter
stabs my heart."
"No, I will not stop, you shall hear me
out The money I should gladly have
given the doctor for saving your life I lost
In that den, every penny of our savings
from the bank Is gone, and had you not
come tonight we should have been penni
less. But, wife, you can never know what
a passion I. have for cards. Inherited from
my father, and led on by James Brown
have brought you to sorrow and shame
and all Is lost."
My husband, do not say all la lost. You
say I was In time once to save you; If I
had done my duty by you instead of yield
ing to the selfish desires ' of myself and
Miss Vender, who Is a very worldly
woman, had I loved you more unselfishly
and remembered that we sre all human.
and oh, Robert, It is all my fault"
Wife, can you trust me again. I should
have told you before only I feared to dis
tress you, but the night you asked me If
I wa doing extra work to pay the doc
tor' bill I came near telling you why I
waa so late and aak you to save me.
But, knowing all, will you help mo to
conquer this terrible desire, redeem me
from James Brown, my gambling friend
from boyhood, risk your happiness again
for my sake oh, wife, say you 'can trust
me."
Trust you, Robert, yes, but we both
need to trust our Heavenly Father. Let
us ask Him to strengthen us each to do
our duties."
Five years have passed since Robert fell
and rose again. It has been a bitter
struggle, but, by God's help, we have
won the battle and now turn our attention
to training our little ones to depend on
Him from childhood, in order to prevent
their fall.
I often think of how nearly I cam to
being the cause of Robert' fall by not
doing my wifely duty.
POPPING THE QUESTION IN 1904
as Pertlneat Remark on a Topic
of Everlasting Hamaa
Iatereat.
The new year 1 a leap year, but the ad
dition of another day to the month of Feb
ruary Is by no means its moat Important
peculiarity. For during this year, accord
ing to Immemorial tradition, it will Ve
good form for women If thev chnnae tn
propose matrlmdny to men Instead of wait
Ing for men to propose it to them.
Most people or either sex would say
Ithout a moment's hesitation that thl
leap year tradition had never been a leap
year custom and that it waa either a Joke
or an abaurdlty without a thing in reason
or in human nature to support it . But
that is going too far, for there Is no folk
lore of any description, whether song, rid
dle or proverb, that Is not. In the laat
nalysls, founded on some Immutable prin
ciple of human nature, and so It la with
women popping the question In leap year.
The principle of human nature on which
this- leap year tradition is founded is the
paradoxical on that, while the verbal
and external proposition of marriage pro-
ceeda from the man, every perfectly nor
mal and happy matrimonial match has
Its initiative in the heart of the woman
There are many kinds of courtship and
marriage, but no marriage is ever a happy
one unleaa the woman courts the man, al
belt without his knowing It.
There Is a profound and Important rea
son why thl must be so. It Is woman'
nature, not only in affair of the heart,
but In everything else, to be unable to
change her spontaneous taatea and prefer
ences. Her like and dislikes display
remarkable fixity. She doe not make
them and she cannot unmake them
Whether It be In the realm of cookery, art,
music, areas, amusement, friendship or
love, thl principle control her. She can
be dragooned away temporarily from her
natural bent, but she Is then a crushed
woman, and sooner or later she will revert
to her original Impulse.
One may say It is exactly the same with
a man, but It is not. A nun's preferences
are largely a matter of ratiocination. They
are modified by argument, by expediency,
by considerations of Interest, by his con
captions ot duty, by hla Ideas of prudence,
This makes his heart. In matter of love,
a sort of cheosboard on which all the
feelings contend for the mastery. He Is
capable of loving a woman for a great
variety of reasons besides the Involuntary
admiration called falling In love.
It Is on account of this essential differ
ence between men and women that the
woman's preference U the thing mainly to
be considered If marriage la to ba stable

Is lovely and who lor him, but a wrrraan
ran learn nothing of the kind. If she Is
mated to the' man of her spontaneous
choice she win be constant, but In any
other sort of marriage she will be Incon-
ant.
Hapry Is the man, therefore, whose wife
by mere instinct pitched upon him a her
ideal and woe to the man whose wife waa
swervpd from her Instinctive choice by the
dvlce of parents, the love of money or
ny other Influence to wed him.
This Is the reason that It is folly for
a man to set out to win a woman's heart
t I oast, by devotion. The only wise thing
he can do In this line Is to stand around.
ccldentally and unconsciously, as It were,
and let her do the rent.
A fair woman who has been begged and
ntreatnd to love a man until she has con
sented Is not worth 'having, for she will
most assuredly make Mm miserable. It
the' woman who ha courted the inai
who makes a happy marriage and a happy
home. '
It Is certainly a most singular thing that
while this Is the eternal law and Inevita
ble course of true love it should still be
contrary to nature for a woman to propose
to a man In words, let so It 1s, and court
ship forever remains the man' In form
and tha woman' In spirit.
Both In leap year and In every other
year the woman virtually propose in
every happy marriage. Chicago Chronicle.
SIXTY YEARS IN POLITICS
Experience of a Washington Man
Who lasg Songs for "Tippecanoe
and Tyler Too."
Edward C. Wade has printed In Washing
ton papers some Interesting notes of his
life, which covers a large part of the
political history of the United States. He
says:
'I have taken an active part In pollUrs,
and have performed every duty incum
bent upon mo at every election. In 1840
sang the whig song for Tippecanoe and
Tyler, too. In 1844 I sang the song for
Henry Clay of Kentucky, and for every
whig candidate as long as the party con
tinued In existence. I voted In Georgia
for General Grant for president, and was
the only white man In my county that did
so. I have voted for every republican
candidate for president from that day until
this. .
"William Henry Harrison died and I saw
John Tyler become the president of the
nlted States, and I also saw htm turn the
government over into the keeping of the
democrats, because he had failed to re
ceive the nomination.

and he could not endure defeat from the

William McKlnley died, and I have seen
Theodore Roosevelt become the president
of the United States.
'I saw Benjamin Harrison in an effort
to procure a renomlnatlon for president

"I voted for McKlnley and Hobart in 1896
at Quitman, Brooks county, Ga., and for
McKlnley and Roosevelt In 1900 at Los

A few day after the last named elec

should he the next president, and Ir
nelved a graceful reply from the senatar.
But It will be borne In mind that I hid
not thought for a moment that there was
a human being on this earth who desired
to take the life of the good, great, and
grand William McKlnley.

the matter of our murdered president, or

'Well." said Grandfather Dutton, "when
I was with Nixon Kemp's circus, forty

"But didn't you sometime miss the apple
and shoot the boy?"
'Not often, but it happened once ' In
awhile, of course."
'What did you do then? they asked
breathlessly.
'Do?" said Grandfather Dutton, shrug

to wait two or three minutes before I could
find another boy, but not often. There are
always plenty of boys." Chicago Tribune.

STOMACH TROUBLE.
Stomach trouble is the most distressing
affliction known to humanity, and takea
on so many forms that it is often impos
sible for those without a medical educa
tion to decide from a patient's symptoms
as to just what particular ailment is
afflicting them. People suffering from
this dread disease become nervous and
cannot sleep. They have belching and
sourness of the stomach, bad dreams,
acute stomach pains, or colic, a feeling
of fullness after meals, appetites varying
from ravenous to that where there is no
desire for food. ;
They have indigestion, constipation,
heartburn, yellow skin, coated tongue,
bad taste in the mouth, liver trouble, and
catarrh of the stomach.
Now all these symptoms mean simply,
that the stomach has grown weak, ana U
not properly digesting the food given it.
The intensity of action in modern life,
the nervous strain in business and so
ciety, and the improper mastication of
the food all contribute their share '
towards bringing about this condition.
- Many preparations have been offered
to the public for the relief of those suf
fering from stomach trouble which aid
temporarily only, for after a little the
patient feels worse than before treatment. '
Within the last six months, however,
there baa been perfected a remedy for all
these ailments, which absolutely reaches
the seat of disease and positively cures
any and all troubles of the stomach,
bowels, lungs and throat.
It relieves inflammation, builds op the
system, enriches the blood, strengthens
the various organs of the body, and is
guaranteed not only to give immediate
relief, but effect a permanent cure. This
remedy is known as Milks' Emulsion, and
is wonderfully beneficial to children as
well as adults. Its effect on the sick is
immediate, and one bottle will give sat
isfactory results or your money will be
returned by your druggist. Price 50c.

THE EMPER0FTS BODYGUARD
Ranch of Rnw Reoralts Which Rallied
Around the Person of Corea'a
Rnler.
"Just before the late Spanish-American
war," said O'Reilly, late private In th
Ninth, U. S. A., "the emperor of Corea got
the Idea that he would like, above all things
else, a foreign bodyguard. HI majesty
stands about four feet four In hla high heels,
and I don't blame him for thinking that
he would be safer for the presence of
seventy-five or a hundred six-footers
around, about and under th imperial
throne.
"Once he had made iH his mind to the
desirability of a foreign bodyguard he sent
one of the princes of the royal family over
to Shanghai. He sent to Shanghai because
that la the general headquarters of the
noble army of gentlemen adventurers In the
far east. If you went Into the main streets
of Shanghai at that time and called out,
'I have a warrant for your arrest,' half the
white men within hearing would start at
the dead run for the back country. There
were dozens of men in Shanghai then who
had fought on four continents and In half
a dozen wars apiece, and who were only
looking out for another chance to get busy.
"Up comes hi prlncelet and goes to
call on the foreign consuls, looking for in
formation. It's a curious thing, but It's
true, that when anybody tn the far east
start out to look for fighting men he goes
first to the office of the United States con
sul and from there to the office of the
English consul. If he don't find what he
wants at either place he turns around and
goes home. That may be something to be
ashamed of but It's so.
"Well, sir, this Corean prince didn't have
to go far. Somebody around the United
States consulate gives him the engraved
calling card of 'Colonel Pits Edward Hlg
glnson, C. 8. A., late of Richmond, Va.,'
and told him If he Was1 looking-for a soldier
who knew his business1 he needn't look any
further. The colonel had come out of China
as consul to one of the smaller free ports,
and after the other administration came In
he handed over his commission to his suc
cessor and removed his carpetsack down to
Shanghai. One reason why he didn't go
any further waa because he didn't have the
price.
"The colonel had a pair of long, white,
waxed mustache 1 that were enough to
strike terror to the soul of any oriental.
Besides, -he always wore his swtrd.
" 'Ah won that sword at Bull Run, suh,'
the colonel was used to say, 'an' by th'
etuhnal, suh. Ah Intend to weah it.'
"The colonel was the chief patron and
the presiding genius of the only American
bar In Shanghai at the time. So he was al
ways easy to find. And if you add to his
white whiskers and to his sword a manner
of awful dignity It Is easy to understand
why the Corean prince was greatly im
pressed when he went to call on the colo
nel.
"The upshot of it waa that the colonel
wa engaged at a salary of $3,000 a year
to organise a foreign guard for the emporor
ot Corea. lie was authorized to employ a
drill master at $2,500 and seventy-five pri
vate at $1,000 each.
"It took him only a few day to fill his
company. The first man his eye lit on
a he looked around th big room at Shang
hai waa "Bill' Young, later known to fame
as chief of scouts with Ben Lawton. 'Bill'
tood some four inches more than six
feet in his socks and he wa always looking
for trouble. It took less than fifteen min
utes to secure Bill's signature to a year's
contract to act as drtllmaster for the body
guard. The other seventy-five were not
hard to find. McAllister was one of them.
McAUlBter started out in life as captain
In an English cavalry regiment. One night
he lost something like a thousand pound
more money than he wa able to pay, and
when he next awoke to a realising sense
of things he was sitting on the quay al
Hongkong, wondering how he got there
Jones wa another, though that wa not
the nam he originally went under. Jones
had fought In revolutions all over Central
and South America and came out to China
in an interlude.
"The Corean prince and Colonel Hlggin
son met on the eighth day, and the colonel
had all seventy-five of us with him. W
were all ready to sign contracts for a year
or tor forty years at the rate of $1,000 per
annum. We signed In round American
script and each of us got the equivalent
of $10 in good United States gold and trans
portation to Chemulpo in advance. Che-
mulpo la the seaport of Seoul, tha capital
of Corea. Look it up on the map which
was printed in the Tribune yesterday and
you 11 find I'm right.
"Wa were all loaded on that condemned
steamboat and w took with us as baggage
a clean collar each and an awful thirst.
Finally we got to Chemulpo. Colonel Hlg
glnson marched us off In regular military
order and lined us up along the edge of
th dock. I'm not denying that we were
a fearsome looking lot. There wasn't a
man In the bunch that stood under six
feet. The Corean prince got off and
marched down the front of ua. looklnc
somewhat frightened at the eight. I wasn't
blaming him.
"The prince waved his hand and made
some motion at Colonel Ulggluaon.
" 'After you,' aald the colonel, bowing
low. 'your humble servant, sua.'
"Then they loaded u on s6me cattle car
and carried us by rail to Seoul. By the time
w got there we were awful thirsty, and
there 1 no use In denying the same. Once
more th colonel unloaded us and made us
line up, company front, and then w
marched twenty-five abreaat up to the
hotel, where quarter had been provided
for us. Seoul trembled at the sight of us,
and well it might. '
"When we got t'o th hotel we were as
signed quarter and our commanding offi
cer ordered u to star arms. We dldnt
have any anna to stack, but w did put
down our empty gripsacks and start out
looking for fodder and other amusement.
Coma midnight th colonel could only find
half of us. The rest showed up between
that time and noon the next day. At about
tha same Urns there waa a tremendous pro
tect mad by the Japanese ambassador to
Cores. It appears that the missing half of
the royal bodyguard hsd become entangled
with the soldiers attached to the Japanese
embassy and put them entirely to the bad.
The Japanese ambassador made a strong
protest against the establishment of a for
eign bodyguard. He declared that he would
regard such an establishment as a dis
tinctly hostile act. I don't blame him at
all.
"The Corean emperor could not o offend
the Jan. IT held a council of war and de
cided that he would disband th foreign
bodyguard. But before the foreign body
guard was willing to ba disbanded It In
sisted that It ivtTy member should be paid
his salary for a year In advance. That was
what the contract called for, and that was
what was finally paid. But the Corean gov
ernment wa far too wise to give each of
those seventy-five Indians a whole $1,000 In
ready cash to spend In Seoul. Instead It

Reciprocal Concession.
Mrs. Bumpus Your plan, as I understand
it, is that we shall make mutual conces
sions each sacrificing something for the
good of the other. Am I right?
Mr: Bumpus Perfectly.
Mr. Bumpus Then I will give up eating
bon-bons.
Mr. Bumpus (cordially) Good for you, my

Mrs. Bumpus (thoughtfully) Well, for the

I Miss Nellie Holmes, treasurer
of the Young Woman's Temper
ance Association of Buffalo, NX,
strongly advises all fcoSering
women to rely, as she did, up
on Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegc
table Compound.
" Dear Mrs. Pikkbam : Tour med
icine is indeed an ideal woman's medi
cine, and by far the best I know to
restore lost health and strength. I
goffered misery for several years, beiti(r
troubled with menorrhagla. My back
ached, I had bearing-down pains and
frequent headaches. I T?ould often
wake from restful sleep, and in such
pain that I suffered for hours before I
could go to sleep again. I dreaded the
long nights as much as the weary days.
I consulted two different physicians,
hoping to get relief but, finding that
their medicine did not seem to cure me.
I tried your Vefjfelablei Compound
on the recommendation of a friend
from the East who was visiting me.
"Iam glad that I followed her ad
ice, for every ache and pain is gone,
and not only this, but my general
health is much improved. I have a
fine appetite and have gained in flesh.
My earnest advice to suffering women
is to put aside all other medicines and
to take Lydia K. Plnkltnm's Vege
table Compound." Miss Kki.i.ib
