A clubwoman, writing in the Phila- delphia Record, reveals a feminine in- | consistency in the peculiar views held by some women about the use of their first names. She says: _ “A couple of years ago I had occa- sion to send a letter to a married wo- man, and in addressing her I wrote ‘Mrs. Henry —’' Imagine my sur- prise when in reply I received an in- dignant letter from her, in which she said: ‘I do not at all like to have my {dentity submerged in that of my hus- band. I do not see why I cannot be addressed by my own name. Because I am married is that any reason why I should lose my individuality? My name is Anna’ The next letter 1 wrote to the indignant wife you can be sure it bore the first name of the woman in question, but the climax came recently, when the husband died and my fastidious friend was left a widow. .1 wrote her on club business and, bearing in mind her first scold- ing, took particular pains to address her as ‘Mrs. Anna —. The answer to this from her makes me shiver to think about. ‘Do you think I have so far forgotten my beloved Henry,’ she said, ‘as to be willing to abandon his name altogether? I wish you would address me as Mrs, Henry in the fu- ture, please. I may be an unfortunate name, I think.'” A Curious Cipher Code. ' Prisoners confined in. different parts of jail often use cipher codes in com- municating with one another. In the Kansas City jail some years ago the officlals came across a hard .one. A fellow named Turner, in for forgery, invented the puzzle. The writing was on long narrow strips of paper, on the edge of which were letters and parts of letters that apparently had no con- nection and from which no words could be formed. One day a deputy who was passing the cell of a prisoner saw him passing a long strip of paper around- an octagon lead pencil. He took the paper away, and on it were the mysterious scrawls that had wor- ried the keepers. But the deputy.-got an idea from this, and, going back to the office, he wrapped the strip around an octagon shaped lead pencil and after several trials adjusted it so that the parts of the letters fitted together and made a sentence, though the writ- ing was very fine. The writer had adopted the simple but ingenious plan of covering the pencil with paper and had then written along one of the flat sides. On unrolling it the writing was as mystical as a cryptogram, but when put around the pencil as it was origi- nally it could be easily understood. Why. There is something almost plaintive In the truly English word “why.* It may be indefinitely prolonged upon the Hps. “Why” is almost poetical in it self and fitly introduces the best hex- ameter in the language: “Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?” Its uses in poetry are almost infinite, and one modern writer makes almost a line of it alone: ! g ‘Why do the night winds sigh, The sea birds wildly cry, The summer clouds pass by, The lilies droop and dle, The light fade from the sky? ‘Why—oh, why? To most of the whys there is not a good because. The inquiring mind is puzzled to account for many things besides its own existence. Hundreds of such questions occur to us at every step, and no satisfactory reply can be expected. Life is too short. Socrates was always saying “Why,” and we have all heard of the man who called Pope the “little crooked thing that asked questions.”—Exchange. A Blind Man’s Ruse. “My great-uncle, who was blind,” said a Frenchman, “once buried $4,000 in gold louis under a pear tree in his garden. His neighbor saw him do it and in the dead of night came and stole the money, replacing the earth care- fully. “Some days later my uncle brought fifty more louis down to the pear tree for burial. He soon discovered his loss, and, silently weeping, he, too, re- placed the earth. “He knew whom to suspect, and that night he called on his neighbor. He seemed thoughtful and distrait, and the neighbor asked him what oppressed his mind. ““Well, I'll tell you, sald my great- uncle frankly, ‘I have 1,000 louis hid away in a safe place, and today a ten- ant pald off a mortgage, and I have another 1,000 louis in cash on my hands.. I don’t know whether to seek out another hiding place for this mon- ey or put it where the other i{s. What do you advise?" “‘Why,’ said the neighbor eagerly, 4¢ your first hiding place Is safe—and you declare it to be so—I should cer- tainly put this money there too.” “My great-uncle said firmly that that was what he would do. - It was the ‘wisest course. Then he took his leave. “And when next day he went to the pear tree again there, sure enough, was his lost 1,000 louls, all put back again/! ~Eschange. vl widow, but I still bear my husband’s{ ~ An insurance expert was relating in COhicago some oddities of insurance. “And then,” sald the expert, “there was that case of the general store man in Ohio. This man’s store burned down, and, because his stock was so heavy, the company disputed his claim. I remember one item in his stock lst— 17,500 mourning hatbands. When 1 came to this item I thumped it with my pencil and said to the storekeeper severely: “‘Look here, this is unreasonable. Why - should you have had 17,500 mourning hatbands in stock? What possibility was there that death would create in a single small shop like yours a demand for 17,500 mourning hat- bands? “The storekeeper smiled at me in a ccondescending way and replied: i “¢ dldn’t keep those hatbands for men who grieved for the death of rela- tives or friends, but for men who went into mourning for the grease on their hats.’ "—Boston Globe.
