The wife of an Indianapolls mer- chant was recently quite sick. One day after she had improved a bit and her seven-year-old son had been permitted in her room for a little wisit, she volced the thought that had worried her all the time while she Bid been ill. “Téd” she asked, “what would you have done if mother had ded?” Back came Teddy's startling an- awer: “Oh, the girls could have gone to grandmother's to Yive and papa and 2-we'd have gotten us a new wife sight away.” e ——r—— . — L ————— * pegian posmlon 18 in dmpute bemeen lt MEANS END OF ALL THINGS umbér “30,° Originally Newspaper Symbol Has Come to Have Sig- . nlflcnnee of Dire Impon." 15¢ i ‘By frequent reference to it, noted by newspaper readers, doubtless the meanliig of that‘eabalistic symbol “80" hias becown'familiak to many, but this Incident and: explanation’ is printed 1h coninection’ with thé ‘obsequies ‘of Sir Wiifrid Laurier,’ in: the: Montreal!

THOSE “NEW” LITTLE C'RLS Their Grownup Wayl Started Old- Fashioned Woman on a Pessimis- ° tic Train of Thought. The Woman Who Sees had just bought a new veil and had hurrled Into the dressing room of the shop to adjust It, says the New York Sun. Crowds of women were edging thelr way to the mirrors to preen ‘them- selves. She managed to squirm into'a space just vacated by a gorgeous creature In . purple velvet. As she glanced Into the mirror she noticed two youngsters standing ‘beside her. They were both sweét-looking little things. “Not a day over fourteenm,” she murmured to herself, and then stared with wonder. The elder of the two pulled out a tiny vanity case and proceeded to powder the tip: of her pert little nose. She next arranged. a curl over her shoulder to its very best advantage, while her-companion stood back admiringly. Then she preened her eyebrow with the tips of her fingers and smiled complacently. She was pretty and she knew it. “Are you going to the frat meeting Monday evening, Dot?" queried her companion. Dot ralsed an eyebrow and drawled nonchalantly, “Perhaps, dearfe; it depends entirely.on the mood I'm in” That was the sttaw; that broke the camel's back. ~The woman gave & ‘convulsive gasp and lit- erally bolted. Moods! She was amused and yet it was pitiful. She is not an advocate of corporal punish- ment, but she would have ‘enjoyed spanking those youngsters. ~What kind of women will they make?
