Hey , Frcilille.
V. A. Stearns , in Tid-Hit.s : I dined with
Vergiison tlm other day. Ferguson lias u
boy named Freddio. Freddie is n boy
about nine years of ntro , and is consid
ered very "bright. " Hois ; lie Is posi
tively brilliant , lint if ho worn my boy 1
think 1 could polish him still more. Al
nil events 1 should Iry.
Frcddio came inlolho parlor soon after
my arrival , his face shining from n recent -
cent vigorous application of soap nnd
water , and his yellow luilr plastered down
to his head so that every bump was
plainly visible.
"You don' ! remember Mr. Johnson ,
ilo youv" suiil his father , taking the young
cub on his knee.
"Yep , " was tlio reply.
"What's that ? " said Ferguson rcproy-
inglv.
"Yep , " repeated the boy , with n sur
prised look.
"Haven't 1 told you to always say yes ,
sir ? "
"Ycssir. "
"That's bolter. So yon remember
Mr. Johnson , ohY It's nearly three years
Mtico Freddie saw you last , ndded Fer
guson , turning to mo. "It's astonishing
w hat u memory that boy has. What do
you remember about Mr. Johnson , Fred-
ilie-V" ho inquired.
"I remember , " replied Freddie , ingen
iously , "that his liair was white at the
roots and black at the ends , and mar
.said she guessed he hadn't dyed it this
week. "
Tins remark produced : i feeljng of con
straint , so to speak , and Freddie was ban
ished from the parlor. I did not see him
again until I wont to dinner.
Ferguson asked a blessing. As soon as
he had finished Frcddio burst out with :
"L'ar , what's the reason you never do
that'cept when wo have comp'ny\
Ferguson made some facetious remark ,
but I saw a light in his eye which told mo
Unit thorn was trouble ahead for 1 reddle ,
and 1 rejoiced in secret.
"Mar , " said Freddie presently , "don't
you wish Aunt Maria was hero ? "
"Why , Freddie ? " said his mother , with
: i fond smile.
" 'Cause ' you said the other day that
you wished she an' Mr. Johnson could
meet , 'cause he'd bo such n gooil catch
for her , an' it was about her last chance ,
' "
an'
"Frederick ! " shouted Ferguson.
"Why , Freddie Ferguson ! " exclaimed
his mother.
The subject was quickly changed. T
felt thai it would bo wise to hond Fred
die nway from the tnblii. but Ferguson
ilureil .l-'uto , and permitted him to re-
main.
"Climnio another piece of cake ! " said
Freddie , presently.
"You have had three already , " said his
mother , gently.
"I know 1 have , fin' I want smother. "
"Hut "
"I wanl another piece of cake ! "
"What can vou possibly want of more
cake ? "
"Wantor eat H , of course. Whal'd ycr
s'poso 1 wanted tor do with it put wheels
tin it un' use it for a wagon ? "
It struck mo that tliis would ho a gooil
lime lo remove Freddie and inlllcl cor
poral punishment upon him , but Mrs.
Ferguson thought iliU'erently. She re
garded Freddio' ' * remarks as laucrhable.
"It's astonishing what a fund of humor
Unit boy has got , " she said , as she gave
him the biggest plet'ii of cake on llio plalu ,
" 1 ID'S always milking quaint remarks
like that. 1'ar anil I think he'll become n
great humorist. "
"Air. Johnson/ ' said Freddie , ns ho rose
from the table , "cim 1 feel of your di'mun
pin ? "
"What a singular request. " said Mrs.
Ferguson. "Hut iileaso let him do it if
you don't mind , Air. Johnson , llo's got
Mime funny idea in his head and wo shall
sen what it in. "
We did. After rubbing the diamond
several times with his forelinger ( iuoi-
ilontty coloring my immaculate shirtfront -
front with currant jolly ) , he sniil wonder-
"rt\Vhy. it nin't stleky al nil. "
"No , Freddie , of course not , " suiii Fer
guson smilingly.
"Why should it bo sticky ? Diamonds
are not stloky. "
"No , I s'pos'o not , " saiu Freddie , "but
I heard mar say that she thought il
wasn't a di'mun al all , bul only paste ,
an' 1 knew that paste"
Hut at this point Freddie was hustled
cult of thu room by his father , and in a
low moments my heart wns gladened by
the sound of dismal yulls in the distance ,
I saw no more of 1-reddiu that oyenlng.
1 do not intend lo dine ut Ferguson's '

Chicago Herald : "I was in Now York
one day last week , " said a railroad acent
who looks after the immigration business
for u trunk line , "and while at Castle
( inrdcn saw u verv ludicrous incident.
Hanging on the wall was a map of the
United btates containing on the margin
the advertisement of a linn of land and
Immigration agents. 1'rinted on ho
map over the location of several rn
cities , was u red Hag , designated to draw
attention to the various points at which
the tiriu's branch otllces wore located.
Chldiigo was thus marked , and so were
Kansas City , Omaha , St. Paul und Den
ver. While I was standing there an Kng-
lishmun cumo up , looked at the man and
inmediately became grimily excited.
" ' 'Kio'i , a go , " ho exclaimed , nulling
out his railroad ticket. 'Hi'in booked for
Jloma'a , and on the map thecr Hi scq hit
is a Ha'inrohist town. Hi'll never go to
n Hanarchin place. 1 It'll go bnck to
llingland lirst , so thecr ! Cawn't I change

"And that wild Knglishmnn took on at
n great rate , and rushed around n kinir
everybody he sawif tlio'Hanarchists' had
complete possession of Omaha , and if it
was safe for a traveller to set foot In
town , and if heotild have to pass'
through Chicago to get to Omaha , and if
there wasn't some way in wliioh he
could have his 'booHlng' changed , and so
on. When at last he was calmed suf
ficiently to tell the ofliccrs the cause of
Ids excitement , it was learned that he had
taken the red Hags on the map to mean
that the cities so marked were in the
power of the anarchists. Wasn't it

Te\as Slftings : A farmer had gome
wheat .stolen nnd was so sure he knew
who the thief'was that he secured a war
rant for a certain young man living near
him. When the case came up for trial
the defendant said ho could prove an
alibi. In order to do this ho had brought
"Ills' girl , " a buxom lass ot twenty-two.
She took the stand and sworn that he
sat up with her from 7 o'clock in the eve
ning until daylight next morning.
"People can very easily bo mistaken , "
observed the plaintiff's lawyer.
"I don't care -1 know he was there , "
she replied.
"What did you talk about ? . '
"hove1 she promptly answered.
"What time did the old folks go to
bed ? "
"I give Vm the wink about ten. "
Q"Suro he was there at midnight , are
you ? "
"Yes .sir.1 !
"Why are you sure ? "
She blushed , looked over at her lover
and laughed , and getting a nod to g

Washington Critic : "Daniel , " said.the
president last night , as they sat in the
smoking-room of their car , pulling away
at a couple ot bean leaf cigars.
"Yes , sire , " responded Daniel , shoving
the cuspidor from under the seat with
his foot.
"Did you hear Lowell's speech to
day ? "
"Yes , sire. "
"Did you get on to his racket about me ,
Daniel ? "
"As to how , sire ? "
"Why. Daniel , in that part where he
said : 'Wo have no politics here ; but the
sons of Harvard all belong to a party
which admires courage , strength of imr-
pose and fidelity to duty , and which re-
.spools ; wherever he may bo found , the

" 1 noticed that , sire. "
"Arc you on to it , Daniel ? "
"No. sire , I am not. "
"Neither am I , Daniel , and as soon as I
get home I'm going to issue an order that
loreJgn ministers , when they come back
to tliis country , must speak United States
when addressing the president , and not
crowd their foreign lingo on him when
he. is not in a position to defend himself.
I'm a Dutchman , Daniel , if 1 know now
whether Lowell was striking at the mug
wumps , or the civil service roforn. repub
licans , or the pure old style democrats ,
and when 1 bowed my acknowledge
ments to him , just as like as not I was
giving myself dead away. Darn tliis Bos

president relapsed into silence ami
smoke , and Daniel sat thoughtfully in the
corner.

Texas Sittings : Bill Snort , editor of the
Crosby County Clarion , was in Austin ,
Tex.not long since , and I was asked about .
the state of morality in Crosby county ;
since the local option law , forbidding the
sale of intoxicating liquors , had gone into
ell'ect.
"Whs * , there ain't a prisoner in the
county jail. It is as empty as the head
of the fellow who is trying to run into
opposition paper to mine in Crosby
county. "
"Is the vacant condition of the jail
owing to the local option law ? "
"That's just it. The sheriff had to go
over iuto the adjoining county to get
drunk , nnd while ho was gone all the
prisoners about twenty-seven in all .
made their escape. Oh. 1 tell j-ou local

Ten Years n lltmlinnil.
Philadelphia North American : "Are
you going to the lecture , llonry ? " 1 said ,
us I saw my liitsbaud putting on his over
coat after tea.
"Yes , " WILS the reply.
"t wish you would take meI I an
swered.
"He-ally , Alary , I think home is the
proper place for u mother. "
"Hut mil ! of mv sisters would look after
the childieti. I do .so waul to hear this
great lecturer. "
"Tell the truth , I have but ono ticket , "
was the reply , as he went out thn door ,
"and I don't think I can allonl to buy
"
another.
Aly husband and I had been married
for .several years. Hefore the niarriugo
he had been unusually attentive , even
for a lover. : uid if another ircntlenian
spoke lo mo ho was jealous , When there
was a lecture or concert anywhere ho al
ways took mo. If 1 was invited to n party
he was only too glad to attend me. Hut
now "parties' are a bonhe says , "ho
can't think why women wish lo go to
them. " Then ho was nil nllection. Now ,
lie acts as if he would lower his dignity to
show his love for me or my children , and
if I olVor him a kiss or a caress he is al
most certain to refuse me. 1 cannot com
plain that ho neglects his more obvious
duties , lie gives me plenty of money
for dress , lives well , anil is even talking
of liujing a new house. Hut ho seems to
think that n woman has no business with
anything but housekeeping , nnd never
change of scene or other recreation.
"What's the USD of n woman , " ho says ,
"going about ? Home is tlie place for
her. "
It inny be so , but after : -hard day's
work I often fool its it'a _ walk in the
fresh air or : i visit to u neighbor's would
bo a real blessing. I said to him thu
other evening us he was going out again :
"Won't you stay at home , Hurry , to
oblige mo. .lust this once ; I'm so lonely ? "
"Lonely ? " was bis answer. "How can
you bo lonely with tinchildivn ? ' '
"But they are abed. And recollect , I
POP nobody , day in and day out. Can't
you ilo it lo please mo , for this once ? " 1
could hardly speak ; it was as much as I
could do to keep the tears from coming ,
his conduct seemed so cruel.
"The fact , ' he replied , "I'm de.ad
with working all day , and must go out to
get brighteni'd up a little. Yon women
noyer make allowance lor a man. " And
lie went out quite crossly.
Never make allowance ! If the husband
is won led with business , and 1 do not
doubt it , is not a wife worried with
housekeeping ? Arc the servants and
children mul hickncbs no trouble ? And
is a woman dill'orcntly constituted from
a man , so that tin ; recreation which one.
considers indispensable tor hinisult is ol
no use to the other ?
"How your complevion has gouoi"
.said my husband lo mi * the other day.
"It seems tj mo that in this climate a
woman is old at ! ! ( ) . "
Aga n tin * tears came into my eye1- ,
Harry did not mean to ho unkind ; In ; was
only thoughtless. ! Hut why had 1 lost m\
complexion ? Can a woman live for over
in rooms heated by hot air , never going
out , except on some errand , and then
hurrying lioinn as soon as the erranii is
done , without losing her complexion ? Is
it tlio climate or her mode of life that
makes her ohl before her time * 11 was
on my tongue to say these things , but 1
rufrained. i have learned that "silence
is golden. "
"How I wish 1 had something to read , "
I said yesterday. " 1 think if I had u new
book now and then , the evenings when
you are out. llairy.wonld not be bolong. "
"Hooks cost too much money in times
like these , " answered my husband. " 1
should ihink your sowing would amuse
you enough. To get bread for his family
and lay by n little for n rainy day is as
much as u prudent man can do nowa
days. " And as he spoke ho lit his cigar
and went out.
Will men never understand women ?
Will they never see their own selfishness
in its true light ? These thoughts rose to
my mind as I relleeted with a sigh that u
lilho of the money which Harry spent on
cigars would buy all tl.o now books 1
wished.
Yol Harry doc.s nol mean to bo unkind.
Ho saw his mother trailed as ho treats
mo , mid lie thinks 1 have no right lo
complain. Perhaps I have not. Hut , O !
how much happier 1 would bo if things
wuro ditlerent.
Are women only machines to sow ,
darn , sweep , dust , bake bread , take earn
of children , and keep house ? Have they
no need of recreation ? No higher nature
that is starved by u life like mine ?
Thorn is no contention between Harry
mill mo , Hut his love now is , it bcoms tome
mo , n very dillorent thing from what it
seoiiied before marriage. Is my fate the
fate of nil * Is every wife like mo when
ten years married ?

Youth's Companion : It ib amusing and
sometimes disgusting to hear some
women talk of 'relatives or friends as not
being "conientil. ' ' A wife who makes
such a dechrrtlion about her Iwbnnd
shows not only | > oor taste , but a lack of
discretion and good sense that is ominous
for the future. ' The degree of congenial
ity is never tncrunscd by such unwifely
Indiscrotiont. '
" .My husband's a real good man , n provider -
vider , stiddy a * , a clock , and all thntl but
in some thiitgshu ain't a lilt congenial , "
said a garruloui woman to n friend.
"Unon what do you disagrees" was
asked.
"Well , mfcstly about our reading. "
"Why , how HO ? "
"Well , the fact is I'm too literary for
John. ' ' ' '
"Indeed ! "
" \'es , John ain't a bit literary. Now 1
always did run to Ilterarynus5. 1 just be
lieve 1 could write. "
"Did you ever try ? "
"Ye ; I've wrote two or three poems.
They rhyme right straight through. But
John he ju t laughs at me. He says a
woman with four children nnd only a
poor carpenter for n husband ain't got
time to write poetry or be literary. There
isn't the least streak of literary in that
man. Now , I'm the greatest reader. "
"Does > our hu.sband dislike books ? "
"Oh , hollkc.s to read the papers and
says ho thinks It's his duty as n voter to
keep informed in politics ; and ho reads
about the labor question , and he's got
some old histories and a book call-d
"Maenuluy's K says' that bo's forever
reading. Bui when it comes to being
literary John ain't there.1
" do * "
"What you read
"O , 1 read every scrap of poetry in the
newspapers I can pick up , and I often
have four noels on hand at one time.
I'm reading one now called "Millieent
the Mad , Mad Maid of the Mist , " and
take four splendid story papers and bor
row two mote. 1 s'poso iiiebbe I'd bo
happier if 1 wasn't so literary , but I can't
hclpit. "
"And , of course , John can't appreciate
my tastes and my kind of reading. He
ain't literary enough for it. Ando wo
ain't a bit congenial. And 1 sometimes
think it would of been better for John if
he'd married a woman less literary than
me. It's dreadful lo bo so literary when
your husband ain't a bit that way. "
Yes dreadful for the husband.

llrooklyn Maga/.iue : All weddings in
Turkey , among Turks , whether in prov
inces or cities , arc arranged by old
women and are complicated , tedious
nlVairs. The bridegroom holds fete sev
eral days al his home for his men friends ,
and Hie prospective br'ulo at her home
with her young friends girls , ot course.
Tin1 night before the wedding the mar
ried women of her aciiiiaintainci ; come
and cat tin- married woman's dinner with
her. which consists principally , as Sam
Weller would say , of a " .swarry" of leg
of mutton and trimmings. Tinnpt day
the bride is taken lo thu bridcgroo'ii's
bouse in a sedan chair , with a retinue of
slave- carrying her wedding presents on
trays ou their heads , covered with col-
oro'd tarlatiu. Tlio procession is some
times quite. ' imposing . The bride's fe-
maio relatives are u'so ' there in the new
harem nntilinigditfall , and they retire to
their homes ; . .leavingHie bride sitting on
a sort ol tlirone./veiled. Thn bridegroom
is then admitted , and he is to throw him-
sell nl tlio bride's feet and offer her bis
veddinir present of some huiid-ome jew-
elrv aud bog her to raise her veil and
strike him blindi by her beauty. Some
times lie is sCrupk dumb by her ugliness ,
lor he never looks on her lace until alter
HIP wedding.
When 11 habo is born in any house there
is great rejoicing if it bo n boy , less if a.
girl , The wife is proud for u while , but'
Turkish wonirm , are not good mothers.
They are too cliild-liko themselves. When
a girl is born tb a sulian they lire seven
gim.s ; when a boy , twenty-one. Thu boys
die eaily ; the girls are more ant to live

AN hen the sultan takes a wife no cere
mony is considered necessary more than
to pre.-eiit his bride The new sultan in
herits all the widows and slaves of his
predecessor , and every year ot his reign ,
at the feast of the Kumay.au , he receives
a now 'mo from his mother and takes any
other girl or woman to his harem who
happens to strike his fancy. Slaves who
become mothers aie instantly promoted
to tin ) rank of sultana. Sk months be

tana orders that all the young candidates
bu brought to her , and she chooses fifteen
and sometimes moi'o of tlio lot These
are immedmtlv nut under diet and train
ing arid at the beginning ol tlio great feast
she again chooses , and this time the
choice is Imal. At the evening ot the ap
pointed day the sultan , upon retiring ,
iiiids his lien * bride standing nude , with
folded hands and lowered c.\es , at the
foot of Ins bed. After ho has retired she
must lilt the bed-clothes at tlio fool ' .nil
crawl into bed in that way as i < .sign of
subjection.

Chicago Trillium : Archbishop Kyan ,
in carrying out tin ) decrees of the recent ,
council in Hultimoru , has enjoined the
priests in this dioccso from performing
marriage ceremonies in the evening , lie
Insists thai weddings in church must take
place with n nuptial mass , or , failing in
Unit , as early in tlm afternoon as possible.
Under none but the most urgent circum
stances will u imirriago ceremony bo al
lowed to take place after biiiidown. A
prominent Catholic prelate , in bpuaking
of tliis decree , said it was tlio spirit of
the church to surround the nuptial cere
mony with all Iho impressiveness and
sanctity po siblo. 'In tlio Catholic
church , " he Faii | , "matrimony is one of
the sacrimpiits , and should only be ro-
cei\ oil wilh the. , most intense devotion
The collide to bu married should bo in a
state of gniQu-rfhnt is , they should have
made n gener.nl confession and bo prepared -
pared to receive the holy communion at
the nuptial mass , and thus begin their
now lives with u feeling that they will bo
strengthened bv tlio sacraments of the
church in the many trials they may have
to contend wjth , Thu archbishop desires
to increase the happiness of the mariied
btato , and lie f ej that this can bo done
bv impressing the members of hU floek
ol the importance of thn stop Ihoy are
taking , and by .compelling them to observe -
serve the forms proscribed by the church
for the innrrliiga ceremony. Hereafter ,
in this diocese , and I have no doubt in all
the dioce.-cs in this country , instead of
peoiiln rushing into a church and being
wedded in a form that lasts about live
minutes they will havetobo wedded with
the church'b grealesl ceremony a mass. "

"Hit ; , my love , " expostulated the hus
band , "marriage is niado in heaven. "
"I don't care if it Is , " eho snapped. "It
isn't inndu lor homo consumption , nnu
they ship it down to cnrth just as soon as
