Living somewhere on Webster street in Oakland, says the California World, is a gentleman whose Christian name is Frank, and he is a strict business man. Heis one that has his own peculiar ideas about married life. He thinks is aman provides liberally for his wife that ends his obligation. Several years ago he took unto him- self a wife who married him for love alone, expeeting 10 be with him always when his day’s work at the office was over. Everything went along smoothly until a few months ago when he joined the Masons. He proved to his wife that 1t was a matter of business for her bene- fit. In the first place it was one of the largest orders and would be the means of bringing his firm increased patron- age. Then beinga Mason showed thata man was a person of good character and standing in the community, ta say noth- g of tho benefits -she would derive after his death. -After considerable parley he got her consent to join. One morning the druggist whom this family patronized, opened his eyes when Mrs. Frank asked for four of his best cigurs, paying for the same $1: Now, if-Mr. Frank is cranky on any subject it is his intense hatred of tobacco in any form whatever, and hi innocent looking little wife knew thi Why, when he engaged a gardner the first question he would ask was: **Do you smoke or chew tobace: The man who did never found work at his plac When lodge night would arrive the young wife looked sad, as she thought of having to stay all alone until 10 o'clock. Later on Mr. Frank did not arrive at home until 11 and 12 o'clock, but the ex- cuse was always, “Had to stay until the meeting was ¢ His dear, however, began to get sus- picious that the meetings closed earlier than her better half said. and that the extra hours wore spent in the company of certain “*boys” who liked a midnight supper of eastern oysters. She set her wits to work to think how ehe could cure this husband of hers of his lately ac- quired bad habits. The night following the cigar pur- chase was lodge night, and Mrs. Frank, instead of retiring as usual on this par- ticuiar night, dressed herself in the prettiest tea gown in her wardrobe, Then she practiced a while on the ne song, “‘After the Ball,” and read until about 11 o’cloc She then took from a box a cigar, lit it and watched it burn as it lay on the fender at her feet. The ashes were then carefully brushed into the fire. A few minutes later Mr. Frank ap- peared and was surprised to find ** s0 cheerful and not in bed. He sniffed the fragrant fumes of a havana and off- handedly inquire “Have you had company this evening, dear?” He was visibly startled when she an- swered “No.” “Was your brother Charles in?" he further inquired, but the reply was again imme- lous nature, and after two or three more experiences of smelling cigar smoke he concluded to slip home early and unexpectedly catch the fellow who visited his wife in his absence, He dipeovered when he got home at 10 o'clogk:that everything was all right, but later he was greeted with tobacco smoke, He is av a loss€s understand the mat- ter and too proud w ask for an explanal tion, but all the same he has the mora courage to tell the “*boys™ they will have to excuse him from their oystor suppers, as his wife *'is al} alone in the big house- and would be fuightened to death if burglars should get in.” In the meantime Mrs, Frank chuckles to herself and is glad to get him home on time. sced of suspicion was y sown in his e A Hugd Simes Story. A man enteredis pawnbroker’s shop in the Bowery, sayw & New York apers and laying down a $20 bill asked i, he could be accommodated with #1 on it The pawnbroker was an excellent judge of money, and he saw at once that the bill was genuine. So he turned and said to the stranger, shoving the bill toward him as he spoke, that he was in nomood for nonsense. But the stranger, shoving the bill back, rejoined in earn- est tones that he meant business; that he couldn't get any conductor on a horse car to change the bill: that he had already been put off three cars; that his boots were awful tight, and that unless hecould get 81 on the bill he would be compelled to walk to the Battery, Well, the pawnbroker couldn’t but feel that the stranger meant what he said, So he took up thc $20 bill, toyed with it a few moments, and then said to him: “Well, my friend, I'd like to accommodate you, but owing to the financial stringency [ can only give you 75 ceuts, 'EEN P NUST AGE EVERYTHING 99 Oent Store, 1319 Farnam St., Forved to Reduce Stook.

Hardy& Co. 1319 Farnam St. R R Sk THE WHISTLING GIRL. Fascinating, Generous, Noble earted, So » Womian's Annlysis Runs. A woman who has made a study of tho whistling girl tells the New York Sun that, aside from her assumption of a maculine prerogative, sha is usuall dainty and fastidious bit of femininit who loses not one iota of her woman! charm when she puckers her pret mouth and whistles a mer tun Rather, the roguish twinkle in her ey challenges censure. To a_ superficial observer she is bright, jolly, orig- inal. Know her better and she is frank, honest, high-spirited, noble-hearted superior to the alleged’ pettiness of he sex. and, should circumstances require, sufficiently generous to make wonderful sacrifices for those she loves, for, being ardent and impulsive, she loves warmly She may bate, too, with correspond enthusiasm, but not for long, for, being tender of heart and believing alway the best of humanity, this harshe sentiment finds no permanent home with her. Contrary to the geaeral opinion, she is rarvely if ever a “tomboy,” and, if she oceasionally makes use of her ability to attract the attention of some delinquent conductor, it is only when she i ing home at dusk, and knows that the friendly darkness will not revi secret. As she approaches the corner she sees the coveted car leaving her perhaps to a long and weary wait upon the side- walk. She glances around to appeal to some possible small boy, but this con- venient commodity fails to appear. Steadily the car is receding. Can sl be blamed iT she for a moment forgets that utility should weigh lightly in h vocal scale? And at last, when she triumphantly enters the car, no one would suppose that those demure lips had uttered that shrill and effective sig- nal. Altogether, although inclined to he willful and rebellious at times (and who admires dull perfection!) she is a girl fashioned after a free ideal. Is she to have her vocal freedom restrained by a cruel conventionality which forbids her to enliven her own home witn a pretty, birdlike music, while at the same time it not only tolerates, but often pretends to admire, the vocalist next door who seeks to entertain the entire ncighbor- hood at eventide by a series of wailing notes and souring crescendos?. The whistling girl abruptly unpuckers her rosy lips to show her pretty teeth ina 2zling smile as she flashes upon youa, newer version of her grandmother’s re- buke: “Girls that whistle and hens that crow Make their way wherever they go.! e Stra o Disenses, Physicians in New York are inter- ested in the case of Miss Amie Richard- son Baldwin, who died on Friday from a combination of two rare diseases, syringomyelia and acromegaly, Fach discase is rare, #nd it is said that the combination was n r before known. Acromegaly is a weird disease for which neither cause nor remedy has been di covered. One of Miss Baldwin's ph cians says of the disease: “It aflects the head, hands and feet in such a measure s to make them grow to gigantic size, while the body itself retains its normal conditions. Persons suffering from the disease present a grotesque appearance, Their bones, flesh, nails, ears, chins, noses, fingers and toes attain often ty their ordinary size. Many people with this ailment have found their way into museums. There is no pain, and the dis- ease is not necessarily fatal.” The other disease affects the spinal cord in such a way that the paticnt loses entirely the sensation of pain and temperatifve, though the sense of touch is not affected. That two such terrible yet grotesque diseases should attack one person is cer- tainly remarkable enough to excite the interest of either physicians or laymen. S — The Caunibal Tree, o '3 The cannibal tree of Australia grows in the form of & gigantic pineapple, sel- dom reaching a height exceeding 10 or feet. Its height, howev is not a criterion to its diameter, as the reador will imagine when told that one 8 feet in heighv may be 5 feet theough at the base. The ‘leaves” resemble broad planks and sre frequently i5 feot long, 20 inches brosd and 14 feet thick at the base. These board lke leaves all put out at'the top and hang down so as to form agort of an umbrella around the stem. Upon the apex of the cone around which these leaves concentrate are two concave figures, embling dinner plates, one above the other. These are constantly filled with an intoxicating honey. A bird may light upon the edgo of these or & man or an unimal muy walk up the leavos to indulge in stolen sweets, but death is the penalty for such rashness.
