Mr. llllltlpa wiih rending nloud toliln wife.
"Are you HsU'iiIiiKf" ho mild to Mr.
Ullluns.
"Why, certainly, dear," hIiu rvplleO. "Go
od, please; ko on."
"Excuse mo for thinking no," Mild Mr.
Hlllup., "but I did think Unit you wen?
roIiik to sleep with your eyes open."
"Oh, do tilenso o out" Mm. lllllup ex
clntmed. "You arc ho HKKrnvntliiK, J0I111I"
"All rltfht," continued Mr. lllllupi.
"Where wns I ntr Ah, I seel 'The dark
npna that can bo felt, Impaled ami ntnlihud
throiiKh Its whole thickness by onu mighty
moonbeam, clear mid clean nnd' "
Mr. IJIllupH' Impressive elocution wns
rtulely marred nt this (mint by a bourse
wall of "Miv-n-nl Mn-n-nl Mn-tnnl" which
Issued from tho noxt room, nnd, nrrestliut
tho proKreHH of that "mighty moonbeam,"
torrolwrated Mrs. Dilltipi' ItupreHslon that
she had heard tho baby. Tho baby wan In
deed nwake. Ho apparently wanted "ma
ma" very much, nnd shu nrose from her
chair and started to ko to him.
"Confound Itt" Mr. Dlllups ejnculated,
"1'vo a notion to read the story to myself
If you can't listen."
"Oh, plunno ddu't," Bald Mrs. Iltlltipn.
"I'll brliiK him out and hold him In my
nrius, and ho'U Imj Rood, I know ho will."
Shu hastened away and brought back
tho two-year-old, who blinked at tho lamp
light, and wan no Kind to bu released from
bin crib that ho became. Instantly quiet nnd
hnppy. Mm. Dlllups tucked tho young
mini's nightdress snugly about his toes,
resumed her scat nud told her husband to
go on again.
Ho obeyed.
"'Ono mighty moonbeam,"' ho read,
" 'clear and clean nud cold, from tho top to
the bottom"'
"Hello, papal" chirped tho baby, having
rapidly reached tho wldo awako state, In
which, particularly by lamplight, ho was 11
very observant child.
"Hello, you rascal! Keep still!" arid
papa, nnd then resumed, " 'AH around, In
tho circle of tho outer black, He tho great
dead'"
"Ma-mat" cried the disturber again.
"mn-mal Downt Dlt down!"
"He wants to get down nud run around,"
mn-niH explained to Mr. Dlllups, who was
not nn adept In baby talk, nnd she allowed
tho boy to slide from her lap nud shift for
himself.
" 'Lie the great dead In their tombs,' "
Mr. Dlllups continued, with uslghof resig
nation, "'whispering to each other of
deeds' "
"Walt just a minute, John," said Mrs.
Dlllups, calmly breaking In upon the
voices from the tombs, "ilo's got your
pipe off the table."
"Well, let him havo It," said Mr. Dll
lups, "if it'll only keep him quiet. It isn't
lit."
"No, I won't," snld Mrs. Dlllups. "It'll
mako him sick anyhow, and besides ho
might break it."
"Then tnko It nwny from him quick!"
And, this order having been executed nnd
the baby pi.ulfled against tho loss of the
pipe, Mr. Dlllups pitched in once more,
" 'whispering to each other of deeds that
shook tho world; whispering in a lan
guage' "
"Lang-dldge," piped a little voice.
"He's only imitating you," was the com
ment tundo by Mrs. Dlllups.
"Well, I wish be wouldn't," Mr. Dlllups
groaned; '"whispering In a language nil
their own ns yet tho language' "
"Lang-dldgo, lang-didget"
"Shut up, you nuisance! 'The language
of the life to come the language' "
"Lang-dldge, lang-dldgo!"
"Now, look here, young fellow," said
Mr. Dlllups; "who's doing this rending
you or If"
"Tnko him up In your lap," Mrs. Dll
lups suggested. "Perhaps ho'U bo better
that way."
Mr. Dlllups, in desperation, did mi he
was told, nnd with his arms around the
baby's shoulders nnd holding tho book at
arm's length continued, "'Tho language
of a stillness no dread and deep that the
very sllenco clashes against It, nnd' "
"Pem-miu, pem-mlel" cried tho child,
adzing tho lapel of his father's coat.
"Pencil, ho means," Mrs. Dlllups re
marked. "Givo him your pencil from
your vest pocket, nnd then he'll bo quiet."
The boy got the pencil nnd straightway
conveyed the sharpened end to his mouth,
while Mr. Dlllups read on, " 'And niakis
dull, muflled beatings in cars that strain
to catch thu dead men's talk; the shadow
of Immortality' "
"Down, down! Dlt downl"cnme ngaln
from the restless young Dlllups, nnd his
father let him down so suddenly that thu
child stumped his bare toes against a rung
of tho chair, and began to cry.
"I know what I'll do," snld Mrs. Dlllups,
ever hopeful. "I'll give him that box of
liver pills to play with. He's so fond of
hearing them rattle. Come here, darling"
to the baby "and get your box."
"D-b-bots?" sobbed the llttlo fellow.
"Yes," his mamma replied.
John found bis placu in tho book ngaln,
while John, Jr., toddled away with that
fascinating box of pills.
"'Tho shadow of immortality,'" Mr.
Dlllups continued in a humdrum tone, his
1 liK-utionury talent squelched; "'the
shadow of Immortality falling through the
shadow of death and bursting back upon
its heavenward course' "
"Torse, torse!" shouted that parrot voice
from a distant corner 61 tho" room.
" 'Torse,'" Mrs. Dlllups replied.
"No, it wnsn cither. It w as 'course.' "
"Well, I meant 'courbo.' You know I
did. I was just thinking of the baby. He
said 'torse,' and I"
"Never mind what he says, Mary. I
was reading, 'Bursting back upon Its
heavenward course coursu,' mind you
'from the depth of thu abyss; climbiug
again upou Its silver belf "
"Ma-n-al Ma-n-al Ma-mat"
This meant trouble, sure.
Dnby had got thu pillbox open and tasted
tho contents.
He didn't like tho flavor.
"Mn-a-at ma-a-al ma-n-al" he yelled, nud
mnnuna leaped to his side nud uttered a
suppressed shriek.
"Shall I go for tho doctor?" queried Mr.
Dillups in a hard voice, throwing aside hi
book. .
"No, it's not as had as that, thank gmxl
uessl" responded Mrs. Dlllups. "I thought
he had swallowed thu pills, but ho hasn't."
"I guess not!" snld Mr. Dlllups uufeel
Ingly. "Cutch bltn swallowing anything
ho doesn't like!"
"Oh, John, what d6 you mennr The
dear little dnrllugl WoVt you go on with
your rendlngf" f
"Well, I guess not that either," ex
claimed the man of thu house. "You can
put that") oung villain to slrep again, and
I'll go, out o.u thu doorstep and take a
Hinoke, if I catch my death of cold doing
It."
And. Mr,.DIJlup, petulantly selzlnii hi
pipe and tobacco rudich, sallied forth and
executed Ids threat, Doston Herald.

There was no ono to gainsay thu truth of

How IU Lonlihlp "ot I-cfU"
Thu following anecdote Is told of a cer
tain venerable and learned bishop who had
an uncontrollable partiality for correcting
and critlcisiug thu language of his parish
ioners. On onu occasion hu happened to enter a
crowded horsu car running on onu of tho
main thoroughfares of tho town of F .
A business man of the city, who was also
a member of his lordship's flock, chanced
to bo sitting near where he stood, and
thinking It hardly right that he, a young
mau, should bu seated while his bishop
was compelled to stnnd, rose nnd said, "My
lord, since you nru thu oldest, permit me to
offer you my'seat." Heplled tbu bishop In
a critically Instructive tono ot voice, "You
should say, my dear friend, 'Since you nro
tbv older, permit mu to offer you iny sent.' "
Thu gentleman gazed at him for a few
moments, then tranquilly snt down again,
and picking up his newspaper remarked

Married Women and Girls' Hecreta.
"There Is nothing so exasperating In the
whole world as to tell a profound secret to
some woman friend and discover a day or
two later that her husband knows as much
aliout thealfalras you do," said a young
girl to us the other day. "You see, one
forgctstb.it because a girl Is married she
must retail everything to tho man whom
she has favored with her hand, and If you
have Iteen chums for years it naturally fol
lows that you go on telling her little so
rets In thu old time way, until a few
shocks tench you that things are very dif
ferent from the good old days when there
was 110 third party to bo taken into our
coulldence. Heally, I think it Is very mean
of them; don't you? Of coursu It isn't
anything for a wifu to tell her husband all
thu little happenings of her own life, but
when It comes to revealing other women's
secrets I think it positively dishonorable.
"I know when 1 nm married I will keep
all thu llttlo confidences made by my girl
friends locked fnst In my own breast, for
I am novur going to mortify them aa I have
been by learning that a certain escapade
or lovu episode that was too good to keep
entirely to myself, yet not the thing to
spread broadcast, had become common
property because my friend had told her
husband, who told some 0110 nt tho club, etc.
Sometimes I really think thnt tho only way
to actually keep a secret is not to tell it to
any ono, but there Is no fun In thnt. The
zest is all gone when no ono else knows It,
but of one thing I nm certain, I will never
trust a married woman with anything 1
care to keep absolutely between ourselves."
