WHEY A HUSBAND 1S SICK How He Raves and Roars, and Cuts a Crop of Rulphurous Expletives, THAT'S WHAT A WOMAN THINKS Making & Room Attractive—Training the Vooal Organs — Aatamn Shapes and Bhades—The Latest Wrinkle—Things We Should Know. It is an acknowledged fact that women are able 10 bear pain with far greater patience and stolctsm than men. It is a part of Womnn's naturo to endure, and therofure sho will stand pains and acles that would drives man to bed aud distraction st the same time bofore she evon utters a word of compiaint. But just let a man have a headache, and be- hold the uproar that fact will cause in the bosom of his family, exciaims a sarcastic weiter fn the Philadelphin Times. He prob- avly returns homo eariy, thereby at once cuusing his wife and family to think some- thing terrivle has happened. He enters their presence with an air of settled mel- ancholy, and ia a “hark from the tomb” sort of voice anunounces, ‘I am a very sick mau,” and immediately collapses upon tho lounge or bed, whichever one 18 nearest 1o him coming in for ths liwtie attention on his part. Oae «hild goos for tne doctor, another is sent to tell the cook to keep a good fire in the range, as hot water will bo nceded for foot baths and applica- tions, Though nigh unto death, he i3 still able to growl and get a little profane whea his devoted wife, with geunuine solicitude, prepurcs the mustard bath whicn he of course finds too hot, or the ico compress for his head, which is correspondingly cold. The room is datkened and every one Speaks in a whisper. When the messenger o tho doctor returns and_announces that the fam- 1ly pbysician has been called out of town to nitend a very severe case of typhoid fever, the patient gets excited, dunounces that be will not die like a dog whilo some one not one-quarter as sick as ho can monopolize the attention of a doctor whom he has paid thousands of dollars to for at- tenaing a lot of women aud children with Amaginary ailments, yot when he, the head of the touse, 1n his extreme need, sends for bim, he1s away. It isan cutrage and an amposition, and he managos to work himself up tosuch'a piteh that he forgets all about his inability to walk, but takes his feet out of that mustard vath and storms around the room, while his wife follows with a towel and a tumbler of homcopathic medicine, which she finally porsuades him to take and tucks him away between the covers und leaves him to sleep, from which he wakens nble to eat a steak, six pieces of toast and a large and healthy supply of otceteras, and in all probability will find it absolutely {mpe! tive to attend a lodge meeting or see & man about § p. m, the same evening. No room can lay any claim to beauty that 1s not broken up into oda angles and corners that area suitable boon tothe artist as well as to tho less professionally interested, who finds in them a_dz2al of scope for house- hold decoration, which such a foundation makes @ very easy task. A square room must be made to take 1n an altogother dif: fe shape before it will please anyone who bas the least bit of an eye for the beautiful. A preity room elegantiy fur- nished has its fittings disposed in this prim fashion, a couch airectly agust the wall, next in hine a aesks, thei on the line at right angles to this are placed the vurcau and chiffonier, and coming around to theop- posite side staads the magnificent bodstead in severo parallel promixity to tbe wall.

They come either n wood or rattan, and are usually in the form of an odd seat piled high with cushions. have a quaint littio table for fancy work, potted plants or afterncon tea set i one of the niches of tne artistic device, and in some instances a can- opy-like drapery oxtends from the wall over- d, falling in folds that are drawn back in oriental fashion, Haneingor stunding lamps slways grace a corner, arda growing palm Against a screen or bit'of rich tapestry can glways bo utilized to do away with these ir- ritating bits of precision kuown as rooms without corners, Purents proud of thetr daughter's gift de- Oido that she is to have “evely advantage,” and she is straightway sent to New York and put under the tuition and jurisdiction of ome well kuown master, ana_in nino cases out of ten that is the last of her singing for all pructical purposes; for tinally, when sho has finished ner course and returns home With & ‘voice,” thero generally bens a scrics of colds and various iwpediments which preveut her singing whenever pressed to do so, Moreover, now that she is supposed to bave “cultivated her gift,” there 1s feoling of consciousness awnkened and a distrust of her own power which, to a timid girl, is positive torture, and the result is in most cases that she s & disappointment both to herself and to others.

Mr. Cleary first wrote to the Bureav in January, usking how soon it would ba possi- ble to obtain a patent for his land. After some correspondence ha was 1aformed on the 11th of February that the pateat coult be secured in six months. On march Sa let- ter was vecoived from him, inclosing his receipt and enguging the sorvices of the Bureau. On the same cay operations were begun in the general land ofice. On June 22, three months and a half later, the patent was received. Most ot the settlers in Mr. Cleary’s vicinity had to wait from twelve months to two years for their patonts. ‘Things of this kind oxplaiu the geometri- cal ratio in which the business of the Bureau incroases. 1If it wore “epeadent upon new: paper advertising alone, a linit to its growth would soon be reached, since the number of readers of a given newspaper who have claims agaiust the government to prosecute is comparatively smaill, But when every persou for whom the Burcau has done efficiont work recommends it to his neighbors who aeed work of the same kind, and these in_turn recommond it to othe the circle constantly widens until itis im- po<sibie to set bounds to its final extension.

When I took possession of the station of Elkton on the Union Pacific road, the tracklayers hud advanced only five miles beyond 1t. The hamlet of Eliiton con- sisted of a store, a mill and five or six shanties, and was three-qua ters of a mile from the station. The depot was a vough shed 60 feet long and one story high. Twenty feet of the west ead was partitioned off for a waiting room, and in one corner of the waiting room I had my private office. It was 12 feet long by 6 wide, inclosed with unplaned boards and lighted by an outside window. In this room [ had my telegraphic appar- atus, o small iron sufe, a table, a ticket rack, ete. As I was required to bo *‘on call” all night, I also used the office as bedroom, and my meals were sent to mo from a house in the hamlet. Those were wild, rough times in the west, and about the first advice I received from the division superintendent w: *Bo propared for trouble at any hour of the day or night, and remember that if you don’t get a drop on the other fel- low, you'll be a goner!” What made the situation far worse for me was the fact that two or three of the subcontractors insisted that [ take charge of considerable sums of money for them. The contractor who supplied provisions to the force along the line, pluced $5,000 in the safe on the second duy of my tuking possession, an.d the division sutler deposited about $2,000 more, In the course of a fortvight, at least a score of *‘hosses” had turned in from %100 1o %300 apiece, and my anxiety increased with every additionnl deposit. The fuct that I was a sufe de- posite company could not fail to bo gen- erally kuown, and I regarded it as ouly aquestion of time when u robbery would be attempted, For the first three weeks 1 had plenty of company both duy und night, as some of the working trains were always sidetracked at the station, but as the grading and tracklaying pro- gressed my position becume move iso- luved. All the freight left at my sta- tion was for tho contractors, and con- sisted of flour,, meat, coffes, clothing, tools and whatever else was needed along the line. I had little or nothing to do outside of the telegraphing. One morning, after counting up the money 1o tho safe, and finding that I had over $7,000 belonging 1o other peo- ple, it ocourred to me Lo remove it to wnother pluce. On the day before 1 had recoived five barrels of ground coffee for iotel mun’’ on that division, Tho d of one of the barrels had been lknocked out und about one-half ths con tents wasted. I took the various en- velopes contalning the money, mude u bundle of them, and suuk itnearly tothe bottom of the barre Unless in ease of five I felt it would be safer almost any- where in the freighthouse thun in the safe, thouzh up to that momant nothing had occurred to alarm me.

Ho was not an ugly looking man:iudeed, 1 should have picked him ous of a crowd asngentle spirit. Ho was a blonde, about 30 years of ago, and he had a won- derfully handsome tlue eye. There was a smile on his face as he stood with his rifle half raised and regarded me, but it was one of those smiles which means more than the ugliest frown. 1 wasn’t ten seconds making up my mind that it would bo extremely dangerous to trifle with my visitor. “Is that ar safe locked?” he asked as h lltmkunl straight into my eyes. Tt fs." “Then you unlock it.” “Ishall have to drop my hands to do that,” “Of courso. I took the keys from my pocket and turned around to thesafe and opened the door. “Now pass out that monoy!” said the ma “There is none to pass out.” “What! Don’t try no nonsense with me!” “You can look for yourself. I had sev- eral thousand dollurs yesterdoy, but it was all taken out.” “Stand over thar and hold up yer hands!” Over thar” was at the end of the room oonosite the safe and I obeyed the command. He then stepped to the safe and investigated for hims:1f. Tt d'd not take him over a minute to become satis- fied that it contained nothing of value. Ho stepped back and looked at me for a full minute before speaking. Then he quietly said: “Young feller, you've trumped my ace. I've made u ride of over lifty miles to find that safe empty.” “You should have come a day earlier,” I replied. “*Yes, I see. This is yourpistol hang- ing here, I suppose? I'guess Il takeit along.

There was a lot of tlour in fifty-pound cloth sacks and he ordered me to empty one of them and pactly fill it with coffee. Had he done it for himself ho would have stood a good chance of finding the money, but he sut- down on a box and watched me. When I had the sack about two-thirds fall he said it would do.

Wall, young feller, so iong.” He was hardly out of sight before a con- struction train going to the front drew up at the station, but I made no roport of the roboery. In the first place I knew that I would ‘be ridicuied all along the line for having been held up, and in the next the man had not taken anytning worth making a fuss about. I decid to hold my tongue and be warned by the adventure to keep the money anywhere but in the safe. A month later regular passenger und freight trains were be- ginaing to run over the road, and I was given n man to help ‘me about the freighthonse. I did not have the handling of so much outside money now, but once ina while what I took in for the voad and what was left 10 wmy keeping amounted to a tidy sum, I kept a fow doilars in the safe for ap- pearance and convenience sake, but the bulk was hidden in the freighthouse. I took an empty spike keg. pprtly filled with sand, and then deposited the pack- age of money on the sund and covered it with loose spikes, and my assistant had no renson to meddle with it. While he went home at night I continued to sleep in the office. I was no longer afraid of a daylight holdup, but I was worried a good deal nights. The building had been put up hastily, and any one detormined to effect an entrance could find hall a dozen vulnerable points to operito on. One afternoon my assistant cal at- tention to two men who were hanging about in a suspicious manner, but I was 50 busy at the moment that L only got a glimpie of them., As to suspicious characters, there were so muny of them along the line that one would have been in a continual state of alarm had he set out to spot them off.
