Th latter said: "That remind me of the night w became aagaged. Do you remember I made you watt a long while for yonr an avert I kept yon a whole hour with at giving yoa a word.'' "Happy dayr obeerred the husband 4ryly and without lowering his paper. A smile passed over his wife' face. and a tender light shone In ber daugh ters eyes. As for Alec, he csst a sus picions glance at hi prospective fa ther-in-law. Nothing would do for Mabel but to totroduo the Korean custom at her wedding. On account of the recent death of an aunt who had made her Ufa miserable, but had left ber 110,000. the ceremony was to Include only the family. Alec pretested against the In troduction of a custom taken from s degenerate eastern race, but Mr. Bur , atefa remark, "Happy dayr bad fas tened the Idea upon MabeL and It old not be removed. On the day of the wedding the bride tid not apeak from the moment of her wakening. After the ceremony she kissed the family all round, bnt spoke sever a word. All agreed that her si lence added a solemn charm to the most Impressive occasion In a woman's life. Mr. and Mrs. Alec Hicks started Im mediate); after a wedding breakfast (at which the bride sat mute) on their wedding Journey. As they rolled along tn a parlor coach the young husband remarked npon the presents they bad received, the Interest taken In their marriage, the concourse of people who Would gladly hare been present bad sot the ceremony been private. His wife listened, but spoke not Then be directed her attention to passing ob jects. -There was a happy, dreamy look on her face, but she uttered no word. They dined In a buffet car; but, though there was a bottle of wine, her tongue was not loosed. After dinner Alee surprised her by telling her that he was going into the smoking room for an after dinner cigar. Half an boor wis enough for the cigar, bnt be took an hour. When he returned she received him with a lowering brow, "How long," he asked her coldly, "Is this beautiful Korean custom to be kept upr She made no reply, but Inwardly re solved that it should be kept up until fee learned not to leave her for a whole lour on the evening of their marriage for a nasty cigar. Meanwhile there was much talk among the women left behind In com mendation of the custom Introduced at the Hicks wedding. One elderly spin ster of practical views declared that since men were forever commenting n women not being able to hold their tongues perhaps one man would get an he wanted of woman's silence. Many young girls said that they would adopt it at their own wedding. A few feminine gabblers dissented, consider ing it a shame that a man might say what be pleased to his wife without retort No such silence for them. The matter brought about a number of mar ital differences where husbands took occasion to sneer at their wives nnder cover of this Korean custom. Great Interest centered in how long the si lence of Mrs. Hicks was to endure. The sneering husbands declared that the second hand to a watch would not divide time delicately enough to meas ore ber silence after the first sign of independence on the part of her hus band. Other cynical men said the whole affair was paradoxical, for in stead of a wife muzzling herself her first act after marriage was to muzzle her husband. One woman forgot her elf so far as to remark, "How can she get him under" but checked herself. The wedding trip was to cover the honeymoon, but it lasted only three days, when the bride and groom re turned, and. Instead of going to the bouse that had been prepared for them, the bride went to ber mother and the groom to bachelor quarters. "For heaven's sake, what's the mat ter?' cried the mother as ber daughter fell on her neck weeping. "He's a brute." "What has he done?" "We hadn't been gone half a day be fore he ceased to say a word to me." "But yoa didn't say a word to him, did yonr ... Na "Is this all the complaint you hare to make of him?" , "Yes." "Foolish child! You have a model husband. Would that your father were such a manl He could never have kept silence for a single day no, not for twelve hours! Alec must be a wonder. Think of possessing a husband who Is able to hold his tongue indefinitely and let bis wife do all the talking!" The good lady sent for her son-in-law at once, and the quarrel was mad Bp. Alee Hicks Is now a middle aged man. He Is deaf In one ear. He says fee finds It very convenient When bis wife talks to him, as she frequently while he is in bed and she I do- CHARMS FOR LUCK. Th Sort of Superstition Som Wall 8trt Men Harbor; Let all the dear readers, feminine gender, take cognizance of what fol lows, for surely the fairer sex is, after all the stronger sex. Women know no inch abject obedience to' superstitious fears and signs a do the men. With a view to eliciting something of Inter est, the writer had a chance to put a certain question to a captain of Indus try. Tut tuf he replied suspicion ly, "you'd be getting me Into trouble, would your With a promise that no name would be mentioned, he finally agreed to tell a thing or two. The question was, "Aren't men in Wall street carrying all sorts of queer things to try to change their lnckf In answer to this the writer beard some curious stories. One man of worldwide fame, for example, carries a cane in the center of which there is a Blender steel rod. Circling the rod there are rings made of leather and of hard rubber, like the washers that plumbers use. Each seventh ring Is made of leather from the soles of the shoes worn by the billionaire during what he considered his luckiest year. Elephants and pigs as lucky charms there are of course In plenty, but the proper caper Is to wear the animal pinned luslde on the watch fob pocket. Then there is another great financier who carries with him a gold Ink well and would never sign a document with fluid from another receptacle. Once upon a time, when be had, say, only a picayune million or two, be signed a paper In a deal that doubled, then tre bled, his wealth. The Ink used that day was emptied into a long gold tube or well that he now carries. The Ink was nsed up, but to the well, so he thinks, the good luck power has beeu translated. Lucky coins pass from fa ther to son in several of the multimil lionaire families, and the man who in herits them would never be without them. We have few secret drawers In desks or doors in houses, a they bad in olden times, but there are many se cret pockets In the suits made by smart tailors. Brooklyn Life. HELP WANTED FEMALE.

Th Reward She Bestowed Upon Tho Who Entertained Har. "Human nature Is a queer thing," gald the philosopher. 'Not long ago some friends of mine got badly down on tbeir luck. Times were so hard for them that they scarce ly knew which way to turn for the necessities of life. At that most Inopportune time they received word from a woman friend of theirs that she was coming to visit them for a few days. They were dis mayed, but by the exercise of great in genuity and by depriving themselves to almost the vanishing point they managed to entertain ber and really to set before ber most excellent meals. "After she left their affairs contin ued to grow even worse. If possible. and while they kept up a brave front I was near enough to them so I couldn't help knowing all about it, though they were not aware that I saw the situa tion. " "I thought it was time some of their friends came to the rescue if a suitable way could be devised, so I wrote the woman who had been tueir guest being slightly acquainted with her my selftold her I would head the proces sion, would like her aid and would be glad of any suggestions she could make as to a practical plan for helping our old friends without hurting their prop er pride. Her reply gave me something to think about for many a day. She said she didn't care to help them, as they already lived too well and set too ex pensive a table; that when she had visited them they had a great deal more to eat than was necessary and that they must be very extravagant people; that it was undoubtedly their own fault they were in such trouble and that it would probably teach them to be more economical In future!" New York Press. How 8imt Reeve Turned th Table en One of Hi Admirer. Sims Reeves, who la his dav was ac cepted as the most celebrated tenor on the concert stage, was so much of favorite that whenever be sang ho was usually greeted with a hearty encore. accompanied with enthusiastic cheers. Reeves was very good natured about the matter, but he made It a rule never to sing more than one selection when he felt that his voice was not In first class shape. He happened to notice that an elderly man, who turned out to be a dealer in hats along the Strand London, attended nearly every concert within convenient distance if Sims Reeves happened to be on the bill and generally led the encore brigade. This hatter was a persistent person and of ten applauded until be had forced Reeves to respond to double and triple encores. Determined to teach the little hatter a lesson, one afternoon Just as dark was approaching Reeves entered his admirer store and said, "One hat please," naming the particular shape which be desired. The little hatter didn't recognize the great tenor and handed out one bat "Good," said Reeves. "How much Is thishatr "Five shllllnfw." said the store pro prietor. "Encore," ald Reeves. A second bat was forthcoming, and Reeves ultimately obtained three "en core" hats. hen the little hatter de manded 1 sterling for the purchases Reeves pretended to be furious. "Send these four hats to this ad dress," ordered the tenor in terrible tone, "but I only pay for one hat Do you understand? The three other bats are 'encore' hate. If you make me sing songs for nothing you must send me hats for nothing." The little batter was speechless.- Portland Oregonlan. An Inconsiderate 8ystem. "Why don't we take an express train?" asked the sweet young thing f her escort at a subway station. This isn't an express station," ex plained her escort kindly.

A comedy of errors describes the first appearance on the stage of Mr. Huntley Wright He was supposed to impersonate the warder of a mad house, and the scene opened with the brutal ill treatment of the hero, and It ended with a gunpowder explosion. In his nervousness the warder dropped his cap, and, being agitated and short sighted, he picked up the pan of gun- i powder instead. It instantly blew up, nearly frightening him out of bis wits. He rushed from the stage and col lapsed, as he thought, on a stool In the wings, whi;h turned out to be a Are bucket full of water! London An swers. ' DR. W.
