When a friend of his brother spoke of bringing Miss Kelly to one of the paper chases held at Cedar Ridge, his estate.

James Murlbutt and ltuth Emery were married when he had not arrived at man's estate. She was lk. Less than a month before the marriage they had met for the first time at the home of a friend In Quebec. After a brief honeymoon he set out, alone for the states to seek a fortune lu lus west A lulsuuderstaading arose not long after he left. Angry letters passed between them, and soon she wrote him It was her wish that their correspondence should cease, and he consented. He was In Chicago when her letter came, but at once left there and traveled farther west. Relenting, the wife hurried to Chicago, but found no trace of Hurlbutt. Some years later she secured a divorce on the grounds of desertion, and married Rufus Beresford, a mine owner. He died In New Mexico, leaving several properties In Montana.' The widow went to Helena, Mont., and recog nized her former husband, at a hotel. She was a stranger to him. She enraged him to examine her properties. The friendship thus established led to love. They were married, and after the ceremony she told him her secret," and he declared be was doubly delighted. Great Faith In Aat roaemers. The faith of Roland Hurtke of Madison, 111.. In the ability of astronomers to ac curately forecast the eclipse of the Bun on August 30 won him a bride. Tor muny months Hartko. who lives In Madison, has leen paying assiduous court to Miss Beatrice Simpson, a pretty girl of ai who lives In Kane. 111. Miss Simpson agreed to marry him some time In October. Hurtke begged for an earlier dute, but she was obdurate. Their conversation, about the eclipse changed things. Hurtke suggested tnat they get up early on tiie morning of the aoth and witness the ellipse. "Oh, I don't believe In such things." Miss Simpson fs reported to have said. "You don't mean to tell me that any man can tell what Is going to happen to the sun!v It's all foolishness, besides, I don't want to get up so early." "I'll tell you what 1 11 do,"' said Hartke. "I'll Just make you a let that the scien tists ate right. If they are you 'marry me on the day of the eclipse. If they're wrong, then I won't atk ou to marry until October." "It's a bargain," said Miss Simpson. When the big black spot appeared on the surface of Old 8ol. it was hailed with delight by Hurtke snd looked on with awe by Miss Simpson. "Well, you win,'' she said. "I didn't be Btvs such a thing was possible." Tersely Told Tales Both Grim and Gay Huge Profits in Selling of Soda Water. At the Telrpbose.

'The telephone Is a great institution," he said, "but I am afraid that the famous fighters of the past would not have ap preciated it. I never use one that I do not think of the description of the Instru ment given by an Irascible army officer of my acquaintance: " 'The first thing I do,' hs says, 'after picking up the receiver Is to stand In front of a hole In the wall and yell, 'Hollo!'

The best surgeons, he declared, were always the swiftest. Speed was one of the great essentials of tine oi rations, siui-u the briefer the period pasxed by the path nt under the knife, the greater the chance for hla co nplcte recovery. "On this head," Dr. Keen continued, smiling, "there Is a story of a distinguished English surgeon , "He performed successfully a dlnVp.t and delicate operation on a millionaire link er's wife, snd, naturally, the bill 4 at he rsudervd for this opeiaUoa was a laxgs one..

"The surgeon laughed. , " 'Oh,' he said, 'if that Is your only ob jection, the next time any of your family needs an operation I'll keep them two or ' three hours under the knife.' "Cincinnati Enquirer. Dr. Thayer's Dilemma. The late Dr. Henry Thayer, the founder of Thayer's laboratory In Cambridge, was on his way to his office one winter morning In the early '60s when the sidewalks were a glare of Ice. While going down' Main street he met a lady coming In the opposite di rection. The lady was'a stranger to him, although he was not unknown to her. In trying to avoid each other on the icy pavement they both slipped, and came to the sidewalk facing each other, with their pedal extremities considerable entangled. While the polite doctor was debating in his mind what was the proper thing to say or do under the trying circumstances, the problem was solved by the quick wilted lady, who quietly remarked: "Doctor, if- you will lie good enough tn rise and pick out your legs, I will take what remains."

They are like a Concord woman whose son enlisted for the Spanish American war. "Her son, a raw recruit, was naturally awkward at first. He was. In fact, the most awkward youth In his squad.

"Sometimes," hs said, "the arguments of children are unanswerable. You see that little girl with straight black hair tied with a red ribbon? Well, her name Is Arrow. She Is a chief's daughter. Her father and mother are quite civilized, and she Is being brought up In a household as civilised as a BoBtonlan's. "In argument It Is sometimes Impossible to get the better of her.

At the recent unveiling in Ocean drove of the bronze statue of the late Dr. K. H. Stokes, a Methodist minister aald: "I knew Mr. Stokes well, and one of the things I most admired in him was his simplicity, his modesty, his plainness, lie hated affectation and vanity, even In "women; and In a good humored way he would often isike fun at the freukish fash Ions that come up from time to time in women's dress. "I remember one summer, when the la dles' hats were very lurg" and a great many cherries and beans and grapes and so on covered them. Dr. Stokes went about Ocean Grove telling a hat story. "He said there came a knock at a man's door one morning, and the man answered it, and then called upstairs to his wife: " 'Ann, here Is the girl with the vege tables.'

An mnrpln nt clear nroflt on F a commodity In sharp demand, I nariians the class of soda water of the thirsty summer world promises more than any other one small luxury. At a cost aver aging one cent a glass, the drink of soda water sells for 6 or 10 cents, according to the fittings of the soda fountain and the confectioner's trade. Just what this profit means tn ths United States Is suggested by the fact that 40,000. 000 pounds of liquid carbonic acid are man ufactured and sold for the purpose, each pound aereattng an average of seven gal lons of water. But when it is said that for 10 cents a person may buy a glass of soda water from a fountain costing JDO.000. while thou sands of fountains averaging S,000 to IG.OOO in value the country over sell the product at 6 cents a glai-s, these figures are calcu lated to set the possible adventurer Into the business to a sober second thought. Within a few years, however, the soda water industry In the 1'nlted States has assumed propoitions that are likely to cast a shadow on the nation's bill for alcoholic drinks. Starting as a drug store annex, with a reputation for exerting a mildly intdliiual effect upon the system, the glass of soda water has grown In popularity and In ease and cheapness of manufacture until there Is no town or village too poot and underpopulated to cater to the thirsty stranger, and in the heurt of the Broad way business district of New York a single firm has put In a fountain costing nore than 2c,nei. The soda water man In his several capaci ties has evolved In the larger cities, and his numlM-rs intltle him almost to an arti san classification. In many drug stores all over the country the rod water foun tain runs the year round, and the sod clerks may outnunili" r the registered pharmacists two to one, especially In the summer seasons. The drug store that once got Its revenues from the prescription case almost altogether not Infrequently has had its old trade wi!d out i:i favor of soda w:iter and ice ii-aM patrons, leading up to the fountain, which as a manufactory and ornamental service fixture Is the fea ture of tits stoie, costing S.Ouu to JIO.'jw as a first Investment. Just as the soda fountain has become popular In the drug stores the consumers" numbers have grown until the fountain has become the feature of the confection er's and at least an adjunct to the corner fruiterer's, some of whom sell the car bonated drink at 1 cent a glass. In the placing of soda fountains the chief Item of cost lies In the degree of elabo rateness shown In the upper fountain. Be tween a fountain that costs 13,000 and the one ousting 120,000 there Is little differ ence In mechanism below the level of ths floors. But In the $?0,0u0 fountain In New York the onyx front measures forty feet In length, with a height of ten feet, while the distribution of carving, of art glass, silver, and electric light effects makes the fountain front one of ths most striking features of an already elaborate schema of decoration. Fifty dollars will buy a soda water foun tain and the plant neeesssry to furnish It with a palatable drink, the type most fre quently In use In the small fruit stores. For 3'i0 a good, economical seda foun tain may be bought, thuugh $.VO0 for such an outfit comes nearer the average cost. The evolution of the soda fountain has brought Into Its train tho confectioner as well as the druggist. Already making c turn to soda water. The Ice cream soda creams. It is e.y for th confectioner to and Its popularity has tended to link the confectionery business with the soda fountain, for the opening of a refresh ment room In connection with tils counter trade offers many Inducements for one) who can equip and manage such a place In a way to draw trade. Whether In the country or city a well conducted place of the kind draws patronage In summer or winter, serving cold drlnkB in summer and. hot drinks In winter. Considering the salaried workers at the soda water plant In the cities a good man for a responslblo place in an establishment draws from $1! to $25, sometimes IW a week. The economical administration of the soda wster plant means a good deal In Anal profits, and where larger fountains are used there arc chain " a for saving by which the adept may save more than a single clerk,' salary. fuua Tribune,
