TELL HER SO.
Amid the euros of married life,
In spite of toil uud business strife,
If you value your sweet wife,
Tell her so!
Prove to lior you don't forptet
The bond to which your seal is set:
She's, of life's sweets, the sweetest yet
Tell ber so!
When dnys are dark and deeply blue,
She has her troubles, same as you;
Show her that your love is true
Toll her so!
There was time you thought it bliss
To get the favor of one kiss;
A dozen now won't couie amiss
Tell her so!
Your love for her is no mistnla
You feel it, dreaming, or awake
Don't coneeul it! For her sake,
' Tell her so!
Pon't aet, if b!io has passed her prime,
As though to please her were u crime;
If e'er you loved her, uow's the time
Tell her bo!
She'll return, for each oaross,
An hundredfold of tenderness!
Hearts like hers were made to bless!
Tell her so!
Yon are hers, nnd hers alone;
Well you know she's all your own;
Don't wait to "curve it on a stone"
Tell her so!
Never let her heart prow cold
Richer beauties will unfold;
She is worth her weight in gold!
Tell her so!

Lives by TmiliiK I'iauog.
Traveling around the country tuning
pianos Is the .unique occupation fol
lowed by Miss Nellie .lay Hatch, n
pretty nnd attractive young woman of
Seneca, Kan. On graduation from the
New England Conservatory of Muslo
lu llohton .Miss Hatch received a di
ploma In piano tuning, and the course
she took In order to secure it was lotU
thorough and comprehensive. She was
graduated In ISM), and since them she
has traveled throughout the State of
Kansas, actively engaged in her cho
sen profession.
Ilurrcd HecaiiHO Hltc Married,
I'ecause she eloped anil was mar
ried, Mrs. Sum Kra.ler of Crescent, u
Bliburb of St. Louis, has been barred
from attendance at
the high school.
Mrs. l'Ya.lcr was
Miss Ccrtrudo W.
Lewis. She Is 17
years old and would
have soon graduat
ed had she been al
lowed to Mulsh. As
It Is she will only 1k
allowed to continue
at school by hkm'I:i1
miih. riiAziKii. permission of the
nchool board. The next day after mar
riage the bride went to school as us
ual. Her secret was too big for her to
keep, and llie new Mrs. r'razler told
Koveral of her schoolmates, under
pledge of secrecy, of course, of her
changed estate. Young schoolgirls are
not expert secret keepers and the ro
mance soon became the gossip of the
school. It came to I he ears of Princi
pal Hryan. He called the blushing
bride Into his otllce and plumped the
question fairly at her. She blushed
and stammered, but she confessed that
It wus true .she was married.
Mio l'roved u Kep'ater,
It Is not a generally known fact that
the llrst place In this country where
women were permitted to vote was at
Newark, N. J, This occurred In J NO",
and Is the facts chronleh-d In (Jordon's
"History and Chronicles of New Jer
sey" bo true, Unit experiment would not
lead a pessimist to Wllove In woman's
etllcacy as an agent to purify the bal
lot. Hole Is what he says about that
famous event:
"An ebvtlon In 1N0" for determining
the location of the courthouse Is still
remembered by the Inhabitants as the
most exciting recorded lu their auuuls.
The contest was between Newark ftprl
Day's Hill. By a construction given
to the State constitution, the women
were then suffered to vote, nnd they
seem to have been no delighted with
this privilege of exercising their wills
i-that they were unwilling to circum
scribe it within the legal limit, many
ladles voting, we are told, seven or
eight times under various disguises."
New Footwear,
These shoos are the latest novelties.
The high shoe in the center is for
those who feel uncomfortable In a low
shoo. It is cut out in scallops on either
side, the lacing thereby revealing the
stocking. The shoo at the top is an en
tirely novel cut, but is becoming to the
foot, especially when worn with a col
ored stocking to match the dress. A

Cost of a Wife in Fifty Years.
On tho occasion of his golden wed
ding a methodical English husband iig
ured up from his carefully kept ac
counts what his wife had cost h.m. He
had an assured Income of $2,500 a year
throughout his life. Winning his wU'
what with presents, engagement ring,
and extra expenditure on his own per
sonnl adornment, cost him $500; her
share of the household expenses was
a year; her clothing and linen cost
$'-T)0 yearly; presents, medical attend
ance, nimisemonts and summer excur
sions amounted for her share to $-,."0
annually. He therefore spent for her in
fifty years $(;o,7r0. Now York Sun.
l'etticouts.
The petticoat next the gown Is fre
quently as elaborate as the gown it
self. It is made of taffeta silk, uud
trimmed with plaited flounces or nif
ties of tho same. It Is cut with an uiii
brella flounce, which Is faced nnd
bound like tho dress skirt. The small
er flounces are sewed to this. To bo
fashionable, it must ma tell tho lining of
the gown, though the ail-black silk pet
ticoats are always in good stylo. Less
expensive skirts are of watered mo
reen, ami line brilliant mohair lined.
The latter will give far more service
than the silk skirts, nnd may bo made
very dressy with silk rallies.
Hyc CoBiuetic,
Spanish women use a simple cosmetlo
for their eyes which Iolu Monte, tells
of In her book on beauty. They squeeze,
the essential oil from the skin of an or
ange into their eyes. The operation is
a little painful but very successful,
only it must not be repeated too often.
If rouge is put on the top of the cheek
lmno it heightens the brilliancy of tho
eye just as certain colors lend a glow
to the complexion.
W m BABY
The cutting of children's toe-nails Is
but little understood by nurses; and
even mothers give but scant attention
to this most important point. Never
should a toe-nail 1 rounded like a tin-gcr-nall.
The mills must from earliest
infancy lie trained to grow square, and
never on any account 1h cut out at tho
sides.
Do not give a child too many play
things at ono time. Such a practice
tends to develop restlessness. Mather
let her have but one, and when signs of
discontent appear, show her some new
way of playing with It. Her Ingenuity
and steadiness will thus be encouraged.
A child should not, of course, lo kept
too monotonously with one plaything,
If she has a numler (variety Is good for
all, at times), but rather that error than
tho other; and, by all means, guard
against her having a number at the
same time, llathcr let her play with
one as long as she will. Then, before
tho second one Is taken up, put tho tlrst
one entirely out of sight, lu order that
it may come forth at some future day
imisquoruding as a now toy.

GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE ANOTHER
Yoiiuu Man Drowns After Rescuing a
Companion from Death.
A story of splendid heroism in n
youth who gave his life to save that of
ids friend comes from Fraserburgh,
lu Scotland. The hero of the story Is
St. John Dick Cunyngham, son of
Lieutenant Colonel Dick Cunyngham,
V. C, of tho Second Hattalion Gordon
Highlanders, stationed at AldersJiot.
Young Cunyngham and the master of
Saltoiin tson of Lord Saltoun) left
Philorth together, and won to the sea
to bathe. Evidently tho lads were unac
quainted with the treacherous nature
of the sands at the point at which they
entered the water, for they walked out
at once to easy swimming depth. Sud
denly IhUIi found themselves In deep
water, a strong undercurrent having
drawn them Into one of the many
"pots" or pools which constitute the
chief danger of tho place.
To the lad Cunyngham the situation
was not desperate, but the young mas
ter of Saltoun was quickly exhausted
nnd was on the point of girlng up tho
struggle when ills companion, forget
ful of his ow n danger and eager only
o save his friend, devoted all his re
maining strength to the work of res
cue. After a desperate struggle Cun
yngham succeeded lu getting his friend
Into shallow water, through which tho
latter dragged himself In a terribly ex
hausted condition to the bench.
Turning to thank his rescuer, the
Cister of Snltouu was horrilled to Uud
SUSS EMMA O'XRIT,.
that he had disappeared. Frantic with
excitement, lie ran as fast ns his condi
tion would permit to some fishermen
who were working some distance along
the beach, but although they lost no
time in making search for the lad no
trace of him could be found. He had
givenall his strength to save Ills friend,
and the cruel sea had sucked him back
to his death. London Mail.
"BIG BEN.
Great IJell Cracked, Broken Up, Recast,
and Then Cracked Again,
"Big Ben," so called after Sir Benja
min Hall, who was 'the lirst commis
sioner of works, when the order for the
clock was given, was cast In 1850 nt
Norton, near Stockton-on-Tees.
From tho North of England this
enormous bell, weighing sixteen tons,
was conveyed to London by sea, where
it had, on a small scale, almost as ad
venturous a passage as the Egyptian
obelisk which now graces the Thames
embankment. Once or twice during the
voyage, indeed, It wus feared that It
would send the vessel bearing it to the
bottom of tho ocean. Not very long
after the clock hud been placed In a
temporary ixwitlou nt Westminster
on Oct. 24, 1857 and while it was be
ing rung, as was customary for a sliort
time nt 1 o'clock on Saturdays, it was
noticed that It had a cracked, uncer
tain sound.
On a minute examination with a
lighted candle a crack was discovered
to extend from the rim about half way
up the side. The catastrophe to an in
strument which cost 3,343 raised tho
question as to who was to pay for re
casting it. The founders repudiated
responsibility, declaring that too heavy
a elnpier (it weighing 12 cwt.) had been
used. The authorities, however, placed
on record that It was "porous, unhomo
geneous, unsound, and a defective cast
ing." Be that as it may, "Big Ben" was
broken up and recast at a cost of 700.
Its weight was 13 tons 10 cwt. 3 qr. 15
lbs., its diameter i) feet, and its height
outside 7 feet 0 inches. It was rung la
the first time on Nov. 18, 1858.
Alas! in less than a year after this
the new bell ceased to strike the hours,
having become more seriously cracked
than its predecessor. Tho crack, which
was inside, was three inches lu extent.
For about throe years afterward the
hours wore struck on the largest of the
quarter bells. The exiorinient was
then tried of turning the great bell
round so as to present a fresh place for
the hammer, or clapper, to strike on.
With a light hammer this experiment
proved so far satisfactory that during
the thirty-eight years that have elapsed
the Assure does not seem to have In
creased; and it Is possible when tho
wind is favorable to distinctly hear It
