HIS STUPID

They wero walking together on tho
riverside.
Both wero young, and one was beautiful.
Tho crown of her hat was big enough
to (It tho bond of the colossal statue
of Athena on tho Acropolis at Ath
ens. They were talking of lovo nud
marriage. Most young couples whllo
dawdling talk cither of lovo and mar
rlngo or plntoulc friendship, the man
taking tho ground that It Is Impossl
blc, tho girl that It Is tho most deslr
ablo form of affection between tho
sexes.
"As f6r mo," ho Bnld, "when I marry
1 prefer a girl whom I can lovo with
my wholo heart nnd soul."
"Then you must get ono with
strong personality, good Judgment and
nn excellent mind."
I wish nothing of tho kind. Giro
me a girl with n pink nnd white com
plexlon, a pretty pair of roso Hps and
not too much brain."
"Well, I declarer'
"She must not only bo stupid, but
must prove herself stupid. No; I will
not even tiHist her to do that I will
prove her stupid myself."
"iou uon t mean what you say,
now could you lovo such a girl?"
"I lovo her already."
She cast a quick glance at him, then
bent her eyes to tho ground. Sho had
been under tho Impression thnt ho had
been falling In lovo with her. Sho was
at a los3 to know what this meant
Ilnd sbo a rival?
"A mau doesn't wish tho counter
part of himself In a woman. Her in
tellectual gifts repel him; her feminine
stupidity delights klm. If sho is
strong ho looks upou her as ho would
a man. If sho is weak ho longs to
protect taud comfort her."
"This dunco that you lovo, is sho"
"Sho Is not a dunco judged by a
proper standard. Thcro must bo ono
standard for men nud another for wo
men. A man a real man wouldn't
know how to take care of n baby at
least ho wouldn't do it tho right way.
When I was a boy my mother left mo
ono afternoon to mind my little sister,
eight months old. I wished to go and
piny. If 1 could put tho baby to sleep
l would bo free. I blew in the little
thing's eyes, forcing her to shut them.
I kept up this process till sho went to
sleep. You see, I didn't know any
thing about babies."
She thought awhile beforo saying,
"It seems to mo that was rather clover
for a boy."
"But you couldn't lay It down ns a
recipe for putting babies to sleep."
"No. 1 supposo it wouldn't do nl-
ways."
Will you kindly tell me," ho asked.
breaking awny from tho topic of con
versation, "how you women make
thoso big crowned hats stay ou tho
tops of your heads? 1 don't under
stand why they don't slip down over
your eyes. If I woro ono of them I'd
havo to cut boles to seo through."
"Well, you seo, wo women havo a
lot of hnlr and all that to till them up."
"Oh. I supposed there was somo
patent contrivance for tho purpose."
"We havo hntplus, you know."
"You mean thoso rapiers with coach
man's buttons for hilts?"
They must bo long to go through
tbo largo crowns."
1 see. Would you mind unsheath
ing yours nnd letting mo seo tho Insldo
of your bat?"
She removed tho hatpins and, tak
ing off her hat, showed him tho Inner
crown.
"Why, tbo diameter Is two or thrco
Inches less within thnn It Is wlthoutl"
"1 don't understand you."
'This part Insldo Is smaller than any
man's bat. Thcro is n fnlso luner
crown."
"There Is a difference, isn't thero?"
"I should say so."
"I didn't know that"
"Bettor put It on again and tbo
swords through. It might fall down
over your eyes."
"I daro say,'.' pouting, "you consider
mo very stupid."
I havo not left It to you to prove
yourself ho. I havo doue It myself.
You know I said I would."
"In tbo enso of tho creaturo you
wished to marry."
"There Is a method In my mndness."
"Will you kindly explain whoreln
tho method lies?"
"I told you I wished a stupid girl for
a wlfo. Could there bo anything more
stupid than a girl wearing one of these
hats on her bond and not knowing how
it is kept on tho top of her head?"
There was a slap with ono hand,
a caress with tbo other, Sho may hare
been stupid about tbo lint, but she
was bright enough to catch his "meth

In London and throughout tho tight
littlo Island tbo words "up" nnd
"down" hnvo a iiecullar significance
In going to Loudon from any part of

"down." So in London Itself every
thing goes "up" If It goes In the direct
tlou of tbo bank that Is, the Bank of
Lnglnnd nud going from thnt center

The word bank, which Is not only
nlways spelled with n cnpltal "B," but
Is always uttered with nn Impressive'
ness that suggests an Initial letter of
tho largest type, may bo snld to bo In
n sense Interchangeable with city, a
term of equal dignity and value in tho

During tbo first fifty years of tho

mortality of nnval officers resulting
from duels was two-thirds thnt result

duels listed by n recent writer thirty-
six men were killed, nil naval oMcers
except three civilians. Tho pur cent
of mortality was 22, or live times tho

In these duels wero wounded. Tbo
largo number of casualties was un
doubtedly duo to tbo short dlstnuco

WHICH WAS
MASTER ?
By MARY A. DOWERS
Copyright, 1910, by American Press
Association.
It wns a month after their mar
rlngo. Not n word had been spoken
to Interrupt that current of romance
down which they had been snlllng
ever since they became conscious that
they loved. But thcro Is always a be
ginning.
"My denr," ho said pettishly, "I sup
poso I must go through nnotbor day
with a safety pin for a suspender but
ton?"
"Another day, dearl What do you
mcau?"
"If I remember nrlght this 13 tho
third time I hnvo asked you to re
place tbo button that came off u week
ago."
Sho made no reply, but went to her
workbaskot, got out whnt was needed
and sewed on tho button.
Romance had given placo to reality.
rrom thnt moment she begnn the du
ties of n wife. Her day was nil for
her hiiHbuud. When sho arose In tho
morning her llrst duty wns to seo that
he had what pleased hlin for break
fast. Sbo poured his coffee with her
own band. Then when bo had gono
for tbo day she superintended tho
household nftalrs, planning that every
thing might bo In order against his re
turn, In the evening she consulted his
pleasure. If ho wished to go out sho
wont out with him. If he preferred to
stay at home sbo stayed homo with
him. It seemed to her that thcro was
scarcely nn hour in the day that sho
was not working for him.
And be? Ho went down to business
In the morning and worked hard nil
day for her. When bis competitors
got ahead of hlin, when wrangling
over disputed business transactions
fretted him, when be failed to make
money or when bo met with success it
was all for her. She needed cxpon
bIvo clothing, and he bought tbein for
her. Kvcry spring sho must hnvo new
apparel, and tho next spring, though
It was not worn or faded, it was no
longer In fashion. One season she
must have a hat like nn umbrella, nnd
tho next It must bo replaced by ono no
larger than a dinner plate. Her win
ter coat must bo short, and the next
year It must bo long. Since the bat
could not bo shrunken nor the coat
lengthened, tbey must bo cast off and
new ones purchased. Ho wondered
why garments never grew smaller, bo
that thoso purchased tbo year beforo
might bo reduced.
One day she reproached hlin.
"Tho day Is not long enough," slip
said, "for me to do all 1 have to do for
my master. I did not know when I
married you that I was bringing upon
myself slavery. As a girl I could do
vote all my time to myself. Then 1
wns light hearted becauso I was free.
I hnd no one's clothes to mend except
my own. 1 hnd no household duties.
I spent my leisure time going to thea
ters, balls ami such other amusements
ns I preferred. Oh, woe Is mo that I
should have married and become n
slave!"
And bo replied:
"From morning till night I am down
town making money for you to spend
for gowns and IiuJh that won't stay in
fashion long enough to get tho 'now'
off them. I must provldo house rent
and sustennneo for you and the thou
sand other things that you require, I
never go llshing or shooting, as I did
beforo I wiih married, for now, having
your necessities to supply, I have noth
ing left for Indulging In thoso sports
of which I used to bo so fond. My
fowling piece went Into a fur coat for
you, and you are wearing my llshing
tncklo on your bend. Ob, woo Is me,
that I married mid became a slave!"
Ono day a baby cume.
The duties (if the wife were cluing
ed. Tbo husband returned to tbo uso
of snfoty pins in lieu of buttons. She
had no longer time to mend his linen.
Ills clothing remained lorn.
The baby needed all her attention,
requiring inoro changes of clothing In
a day than her husband needed In a
week. Sho spent much time preparing
the child's food, ami (hen after sho
hnd got it down blm be would throw
It up. He had ehnlie most of tho time,
during which she must dnudlo blm,
walk blm nud give hlin medicines,
Kvcry day ho must havo tbo sun and
all In bis carriage, and bis mother, un
willing to trust him to a nurse, trun
dled him herself. When she was not
trundling blm sho was making or buy
ing clothes for hlin. and when sho was
not doing these sbo wns receiving In
structions from tbo doctor as to what
sho should put Into his stomach and
what Bbo should put over it.
And tho husband. Ho was now glad
to got downtown In tho mornltig to
escape tbo baby's squalls. Ho passed
most or tho night walking his son
back and forth when tho boy bad
colic nnd was tired out with loss of
Bleep. But In his ollico thero was
quiot. Besides, In bis office bo was
master, which bo was not at home.
Ono morning the husband, who had
taken euro of tho baby during tho
night that hls-wlfo might get "n littlo
sleep," begnn the old plaint. "I am
your slave." Thin awakened her own
former words, "It Is l who am your
slave."
This started the wrangle ncaln.
