In spite of rumors to the contra
ry suffragettes sometimes marry
real men.
A dollar never looks so big as
when you are trying to borrow one
from a hard hearted friend.
More' men would get into the
political game if their past lives
would stand for the exposure.
One-Huttig man is so old fash
ioned that he still thinks Saturday
night is the best time to take a
bath. _
The fact that the human body
contains a certain amount of sul
phur probably accounts for the fact
that some women are able to make
better matches than others.
As far as we can see at present,
a female aviator stands no better
chance in the air than the male
species. Both are known as
the "deceased” after they have had
a few thrills.
TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
True friendship can only be
moulded by the experience of time.
The attractive face, the winning
tongue, or the strong need of some
passer-by, is not the permanent
test of the union of hearts. The
true friend will faithfully reprove
you to your face for actions for
which others are ridiculing and
censuring you behind your back.
He will sit by your bedside when
your frame has been touched by
disease. He will come to you
when the clouds are black, while
the muttering thunder of misfor
tune growls along the sky and say:
"Don't be discouraged; 1 see your
trouble: let me help you.” The
true friend is one who comes in
when all the world has gone out—
who weeps with you when the
laughter world is away. 1 he true
friend considers your needs before
your deserving, understands your
silence, rejoices at your good for
tune, condemns your faults, sym
pathises with your sorrows, and is
a safe fortress in trouble. When
the true friend reaches the top of
the ladder, he does not forget you
at the bottom. He is the same to
day, when prosperity smiles upon
you, and tomorrow when adversity
and sorrow come. He guards your
interests as his own; neither flat
ters nor deceives; gives just praise
to your good deeds and equally
condemns your bad acts.
False friends are like shadows—
keeping close to us while we walk
in the sunshine, but leave us the
instant we cross into the shade.
A thousand transitory friends
meet us along the crowded thor
oughfares of life, but when we
come to try their durability in the
sieve of experience, alas, how
many fall through.—Ex.
“Kola; Twenty
Three”
By Martha McCullocb-WiUiams
(Copyright, lWO, by Associated Literary Press.)
“My child, are you sure?” Mr3.
Creston ejaculated with a nervous lift
of the brows.
Alice Moore, her daughter, six
months married, sat up suddenly, dig
ging her fists baby fashion Into much
I swollen eyes. She was an uncom
j monly pretty young woman, but had
wept and raved herself out of all
comeliness In the hour she had wait
ed for her mother. Mrs. Creston had
answered a tempestuous summons,
expecting nothing more than the
usual after-honeymoon quarrel, and
been stunned by a demand to take
her daughter home at once.
"As sure as one can he over the
’phone," Alice said, her voice break
ing on every word. “To think Joe
should act so! I—I wouldn't—mind—
so much—If it was anybody young
and pretty—but to slight me for—
that hateful old thing!"
“You forget yon haven't told me,”
Mrs. Creston coaxed.
Alice had sunk back among her
pillows. From them she said: "She’s
a Miss Smith—of all names—Joe
knew her years ago it seems—and
actually, 6he behaves as though he
belonged to her. He has made me
have her here—well, at first I didn’t
mind—though 1 never really liked
her. Still, she was so plain, and ever
so much older than he was—I couldn't
well object. And she has a nice house
of her own, and one meets good
people there—the sort I do w'ant to
get in with. Her cook is an artist—
I said in fun, 1 meant to steal the
cook away—then Miss Smith came
back at me. laughing hard.
“Do—if you can. Then I can take
Joe with a perfectly good con
science.”
"I must say that was bold,” Mrs.
Creston interrupted bridling.
Her daughter went on: “Joe
'aughed as much as any of us—but
he hasn’t been quite the same ever
since. I told him, coming here. I
thought she was an old cat—and he
*aid: ‘What a pity more women
aren’t catty.’ But the next day he
brought me a new ring, and the day
after took me to the opera—so I
overlooked things until Inst week.
Then we had box seats for the Savoy
—and I simply couldn’t lift my head
—you know what may headaches are
—how I can't bear anybody about
me. I told Joe he must go—and he
did—and took her—then today—I—
I-” She broke off, shuddering
strongly, her hands over her face.
“Well!” Mrs. Creston encouraged.
Alice sat up again, her hands to her
forehead. "You’ll take me home, of
course—and—and—have a lawyer to
see about a separation. I’ll never
agree to a divorce—it would please
them too well.”
"Alice! Can’t you tell a straight
story'!” Mrs. Creston asked sharply.
Again Alice shuddered: “I’m com
ing to the worst part,” she said drop
ping her hands. "This morning she
called over the ‘phone—rather made
her maid call—that in itself was sus
picious. When I answered I could
hear her, indistinctly, prompting the
girl what to say. And the girl said:
‘Oh! Mrs. Moore, please tell Mr.
Moore, the moment he comes home,
he is wanted amidships—kola; twc i
ty-three. He’ll understand—you won’t
forget?’ Then, of course, I asked,
‘who wants him?’ and the answer
was: ‘Just a family friend. But be
sure to send him—unless you do, he’ll
lose a great chance.’ You see they
have an understanding talk in cipher
as it were.”
“What did you answer?" Mrs. Cres
ton asked.
Alice Driaieci. i nung up tne re
celver with a bang,” she said, begin
ning to beat a tottoo upon the carpet.
Her mother sighed, knitting her
forehead, but after a minute said:
"Well! There's nothing for it but to
wait and watch. As sure as Joe
Moore commits himself, fully, home
you come. I wish, though, you could
wait a few years—he’s rising so, you
could get such splendid alimony."
An hour later Joe, the culprit, and
the ensnaring Miss Smith stood
considering covetuously three partic
ularly fine rugs. Each was unique
after its kind—together tbye were
the pitiful wreck and remnant of a
poor gentleman's collection. The col
lector was In a hospital, and would
never leave It alive. Miss Smith bad
somehow found out about him, and
was doing her best to ssfive his pride.
He had friends willing to bury him.
but he wanted to bury himself, as well
as to pay hospital charges.
The rugs, well sold, would do both
—Joe, who had a house to embellish,
a wife to pamper, could not spend
money to better purpose. They had
talked It over before Joe went West
on a flying trip. The purchase was
to be kept a profound secret from
Alice until her birthday, next month,
when the rugs would be spread out
to surprise and delight her. She had
no discriminating rug knowledge, but
was mightily impressed with the fact
that to own rare ones was a sort of
hallmark of artistic plenishing. Miss
Smith liked her negatively, albeit she
had the usual woman sense that Joe.
her some time protege, had chosen
rather ill.
It was to keep the secret Inviolate
the cipher call had been agreed on.
Miss Smith thought she knew women,
but It had not dawned upon her that
Alice would be jealous She had made
the call urgent because another pos
sible purchaser had appeared with a
dealer at tier elbow to prompt and
stimulate bidding.
Joe had got the message through
his office, to which his friend had
sent it as well ns his house. lie
touched the silkiest, of the rugs ca
ressingly, saying rather low:
"It feels like Alice's hair." Then
blushing. "You don’t mind. Remem
ber I haven't seen her for three whole
days.”
“No, I don’t mind in th< least:
brldgegrooms ought to stay foolish a
year at least.” Miss Smith said, pick
ing up a second rug. “This is mine,”
she went on. "Two are enough for
you. I’d limit you to one, only I'm
cramped for rug space.”
“I'm going to pay for the three,”
Foe said calmly. “Please, ma'am, you
take choice.”
“You are a fool. .Toe in spite of be
ing sensible,” Miss Smith answered,
laughing softly. “You can't give me
things now you are married — not.
though I did more than half bring
you up."
“Why not?" .Toe demanded. "I'll
make three thousand out of this west
ern business, and it came through
you——”
“Alice will need It all—and more.
In fact, my son, you'll learn in time,
that 'all and more' is the motto of
matrimony,” Miss Smith interrupted.
Joe gave her a hurt look. “I don’t
believe it asking your pardon," be
said, stoutly. “It may be with some
wives- but Alice! Alice is as gener
ous as sunshine.”
“I hope you are right—there may
be exceptions,” Miss Smith said,
waving him good by as they left the
meeting place.
When he was out of sight, she
smiled at first with merry malice,
then somewhat sadly. As she walked
on something haunted her the hang
ing of the receiver on the hook Ska
had some way caught It, as one
catches weird sounds at the end of
messages. Being, wise in women
ways, also full of leisure, she decided
to see Alice right away.
Thus she encountered Mrs Preston
upon the steps. That lady’3 frigid,
yet reproachful eyes, told her that
she had done well to come. Smiling
"This Morning She Called Over the
’Phone.”
her best, she put out a detaining
hand, saying pleasantly: "Mrs. Cres
ton, do please turn back. Your
daughter must decide something
right away, and I m sure will want
your advice.”
Mrs. Creston gasped. Here, indeed,
was adventure. But before she could
make up her mind what to say, she
was in her daughter’s presence.
Further, Miss Smith was explaining.
"My dear child, surprises are
always stupid—but don't you dare
tell Joe I betrayed him. I wouldn’t,
only you ought to have choice—all
the rugs are adorable—but. one has
one’s fancies. So please put on your
hat and come with me 10yes are
worth so much more than words as
we go I’ll tell you the whole story.” -
I.ate that night Alice looked up
from Joe's shoulder, to say, as she
stroked his cheek: “You must, ask
the nicest men you know to dine
with us next week—I'm going to
make a little party then for our dear
Miss Smith.”
No Telephoned Prescription.
Time was valuable to the dyspeptic
who had moved to the suburbs and
wanted an old prescription filled in
a hurry, so he telephoned back the pre
scription that had set him up early in
the summer.
Very politely the New York drug
gist regretted that he could not ac
commodate him.
“Why not?” said the dyspeptic. ”1
have given you the number, the date
and the name of the doctor, and the
druggist in this store Is right at my
elbow to take down whatever you
say, so there cannot poesibly be any
mistake.”
“That may be very true," was the
reply, “but I cannot tehiphone the j
prescription. I will mail you a copy
or put up the medicine and send it
to you; i'll do anything In fact to
help you out except to telephone the
prescription. That is out of the ques
tion.”
The dyspeptic said he would be
blessed and turned to the village drug
gist for sympathy. But he got no
sympathy.
”1 knew he wouldn’t do it.” said the
druggist. “No druggist ob earth will
telephone a prescription to another. |
I wouldn’t myself." I
