At the close of a plea for a wholesome, enthusiastic in terest in life, he said: "Life has be come so meaningless and so useless to some that I advocate the setting up of a suicide machine where one can deposit a cent and be killed easily and respectably."

Tke Wonderful Feata He Performed For Joseph Jefferson. There is a story that is toid of Jo seph Jefferson and the boys that had to do with the training of dogs. It appears that there was a gentleman in New Iberia who owned a very Intelli gent animal, and he was moat anxious for Mr. Jefferson to see an example of his prowess. Accordingly he brought him to the Island one day and put him through his various tricks, which were remarkably clever. When the performance was over Mr. Jefferson expressed his appreciation and wonder at what the dog had done, but added that he had an animal that was even more remarkable. As the gentleman seemed to be in some doubt as to the truth of this statement the dog, a dejected, stupid looking beast, vuVjMUi UUU ' M A J OUU Vt dered him to go into his room and bring him a shoe. , , Obediently the dog trotted into the house to presently ' appear witlh the shoe in his mouth. Taking it from him, Mr. Jefferson patted him upon the head and told him to return to his room and bring Mm the slipper for his left foot. "And, mind you, bring the left one," he cautioned as the animal trotted away. When he returned in a moment with the left slipper the gentleman could hardly express his astonishment, but Mr. Jefferson waved the matter indif ferently aside. "It is nothing,' he said. "However, we will now try something a little more difficult" Then, turning to the dog, he spoke to him very Blowly and carefully. "Now go Into the library," said he, "look upon the bottom shelf on the rigiht hand side of the room and you will see a set of Dickens. Bring me the second volume. Remem ber, now, the second volume; not the first or the third, but the second." When the dog returned in a few moments with the second volume in his moutfli the gentleman retired in the utmost confusion, declaring that in comparison with such a prodigy his own much vaunted animal was little better than an imbecile. And I may add that Mr. Jefferson enjoyed the Joke fully as much as did the boys, who, according to a prear ranged plan, had placed each succes sive article in the prodigy's mouth. As to the prodigy, his one accomplish ment consisted of trotting into the house and trotting out of it again. Nevil G. Henshaw in Bohemian.

A young man not many years ago began going to see a girl; he kept her out on the front porch and hanging on the front gate late at night, and finally he married her. The girl's father is In good circum stances, but the young man Is poor, so for the first time in her life she began to know privation and want, the Mem phis News-Scimitar says. She cooks for him, cleans, sews, mends and slaves for him. . Why has this man put this woman in a position where she must exporj ence hardships In addition to his tyranny? Because he loves her. This is the common interpretation of love, the sweetest word in the lan guage. " ' Because he loves her, many a man has brought many a woman down to a hell, which she has loyally striven to turn into a ieaven. Woman is so constituted that so long as she believes herself loved and appreciated she can forgive anything and endure ' anything and still be happy. A wife is the only laborer on earth who works for her board and clothes and is expected to be grateful for the privilege. The husband who doesn't economize on expressions of affection or stint his wife on praise may do as he will with out friction or argument So long as be does not sink the lover in the household he need fear no rival. He may forget every other rule, but If he remembers this all will be well. Every woman Is an idealist, and she will break her neck trying to live up to what she thinks a loving husband expects of her. But even she appreciates a day off now and then. Sitting alone at night waiting for a husband to come home doesn't thrill a woman with delight a bit more than it would a man. Formula on etcb box. Show it to vour J .

At Capetuwn, in South Africa, where the traveler usually has the first glimpse of the continent, is Table Mountain, a magnificent natural curl- oalty which rises behind the city to the height of almost 4,000 feet and has a level top about three square miles in area. Its resemblance to a huge table la so marked that the dense clouds which collect at times around the summit are referred to as the tablecloth. A pretty little flower which is found nowhere else on earth grows on top, while on the northern aide of Its base is a similarly rare tree, popularly called the sliver lea! tree. UBoa This Hint.
