tumorous Jrpartmrnt. Talking to Her. "You never talk to me," complained lady. Now I Just want you to put I down that everlasting paper and make yourself agreeable. Some husbands enjoy a little conversation with their wives, but all you seem to care about Is your paper." "I don't think, my dear?" "I know you don't think. That's Just the trouble with you. You don't consider that I'm here In the house all day with no one to talk to but the children and the servants and tradesmen and peddlers and any friend who may * 4- <" "nloofl T hnnncn to nappen iu tumc in, uiiivso - .?w, ? go out. and you're in town all day long, meeting people." "I don't meet many people. I just go?" "Yes, you go. I know that. You go where you like, but I have to stay at home so that you can have a pleasant place to come to when you are tired of going. Then you Just take up your paper and I can never get a word out of you the whole of the evening." "I'm perfectly willing to talk but?" "I wish you wouldn't Interrupt me when Fm speaking. Yes. you're perfectly willing to talk, but you don't want to talk to me. I suppose that's it. I'm not sufficiently appreciative I suppose. I'm just your wife. Some husbands even take an interest in their wives. They come home and tell them all the little things that have happened during the day. what they have been doing and where they've been going and whom they've seen and what they said. There's Mr. Conaway. He tells Mrs. Conaway everything and discusscB books and politics and things with her." "But you never care for politics or?" "Don't care if I don't. There are other things to talk about besides books and politics, I should hope. If I attempt to tell you anything you never pay the least attention to what I'm saying. I was telling you last night about the troubles the Gensprews were lonHlnrH T tnlkpd to you a straight hour I do believe, and it turned out you thought I was saying something about Entieoe. You simply, weren't paying the least attention to what I said. I might go on talking forever and you wouldn't. ? If I were any other woman she wouldn't stand it. I'm sure I sometimes wonder I have the patience I have. John Henry Jilllngsworth, I don't believe you are listening to me now one bit. What was I saying?" "You were saying you wanted me to talk to you," replied the brutal husband. "but you don't give me any earthly show."?Ex. A Realistic Joke. Sir Henry Irving used to tell with glee of a Joke that he. with Mr. Toole, the comedian, and a third party, played on one occasion at a Glasgow hotel. After their work they were supping at the hotel, and there was in the room a high screen. The instant the waiter was gone they commenced operations. They stripped the silverware, of which there was a tolerable supply, from the table and placed it behind the screen. They then opened the window and turned out the gas, and finally all got under the table. The jokers had only to remain in their cramped position a few minutes before they heard the unsteady feet of the waiter along the passage. The darkened room amazed him and the cold air from the window seemed to strike him with affright. "Goodness!" exclaimed he. "It's thieves they are. I thocht as much frae the luiks o' them and frae their fray talk and their lauchln'. Eh, but I'm a ruined man! I wish I hadna taken the hale o' that last bottle! Here! Here! Thieves! Thieves! Murder! Thieves! Thieves!" And, shouting at the top of his voice, he ran out ?f the room and along the passage. The minute he had gone the others shut the window, lit the gas. restored the silver to the table and sat around as before, enjoying a quiet cigar. Presently there was a confused murmur along the passage. It grew louder and louder, and in poured a truly motley throng, mostly half dressed, consisting of the manager, two men in bare legs and slippers, and a lady with a blanket, caught up in the alarm of fear, followed by the agonized waiter. One man was armed with a poker, and another carried a bronze statue, ready to hurl it at the thief. As they entered the merry trio all sat back and looked at them with well feigned amazement, and Toole said to the astonished and bewildered manager: "Do you always come In this way with your friends when a gentleman asks for his bill?" A Bad Guess.?"Yes." said the barber, as he combed the man's hair. "I can usually tell about what a man's business Is by noticing his head. The bumps tell me. It's a sort of phrenology. I guess. Oh. I ain't claiming to be a phrenologist, but still, I guess I am a kind of one. A man bet me the price of a haircut, shave and shampoo the other day that I couldn't tell his business in three guesses. I guessed "cattleman" the first time. He said that was wrong, so I said "sheep-rais er." That time I hit it. That bet cost him 90 cents. "Try guessing my business," suggested the man in the chair. The barber looked in the other's face, then he felt the bumps on his customer's head. "Weil" he said, "you're a preacher, I'd say." "Wonderful!" came from the customer. The barber smiled. "I knew I could guess it." he said. When the customer left the shop a few minutes later he was touched on the arm by a man who had been in the next chair. "Pardon me." said the other "but how do you account for that barber's guess?" "Oh it was just a guess and a bad one at that." said the man accosted. "Bad one?" "Yes, I'm a Cheyenne saloonkeeper." The other showed surprise. "But" he said, "you said 'wonderful' when he called you a preacher?" "Well, it is wonderful what a chump a man can be when he tries."?Denver Post. A Pat Rkply.?President McKinley once had an application for post of minister to Brazil who brought with him a petition signed by 7,000 Chicagoans. It seems that he was a picture framer and was in the habit of collecting signatures to his petition. President McKinley listened especially and questioned him as to his qualification and finally explained that before he could give the matter serious consideration he would have to confer with the senators and representatives from Illinois. "You know that we have to select big men for these big places " said the president kindly as he bade his caller good by.

CHEROKEE. o Gaffney Ledger, Feb. 20: Dan Robbs tl and Saul Camp, both negroes, convicted of selling liquor at the last 11 term of court In this county, considered yesterday morning about day& break a favorable time to maKe a|~ dash for liberty from the convict tent Just on the outer edge of the city which glories In the name of Happy Hollow. They were detected, however, and brought back. Both ^ were very much frightened by the few shots sent after them and concluded that they had better wait awhile before making their escape.... There appeared in the Columbia State of Sunday a remarkable article 6 setting forth the defense that will be ^ put up for John Hasty. It purports to be from the pen of C. S. Hervey. _ a There Is something fishy about this article, not to say anything about the ^ correctness or incorrectness of the Si story. The same story was sent to j the Charlotte Observer and that paper tried to locate Hervey. He claim- f( ed to be a New York newspaper man, representing the New York Journal, and was wintering in Augusta, Ga., t and chanced to be in Gaffney at the jj time of the tragedy. Examination of ^ the hotel registers of the city stamps this as a lie. No such man was in ^ Gaffney that day, or for several days before or after the event. If there was such a man here he did not stop t) at any of the hotels or the private n boarding houses. This Is a story t] faked for the purpose, and clrcum- e, stantlal evidence Is that It was writ- ^ ten by a Gaffney man Interested In n the case. .

' GASTON. e Gastonia Gazette, Feb. 20: Mrs. J. 11 T. Grist of Lenoir, was in Gastonia on business last week and returned 81 home yesterday morning. Mr. Paul P Grist came up from Yorkville and spent Sunday with his mother. Both w were guests of Mrs. O. W. Davis.... e Mrs. Margaret Craig is extremely ill P at the home of her daughter, Mrs. ^ T. C.

Sunday evening while up to t! have the bed made, she sank down upon the floor and has been in an un- " conscious state ever since. Owing to n her advanced age and great weakr n ness, it is feared that she cannot re- 11 cover. . Mrs. Craig is one of the no- ^ blest and most widely esteemed wo- ^ men in the country, and the news of her illness will cause sorrow ^ wherever she is known For the ^ public good, the editor of this news- ^ paper has felt constrained to ask the ^ courts to investigate the official records of members of the board of aldermen of the town of Gastonia, and has at his own expense employed counsel to prosecute the charges.

Broadmoor Is considered the pick of !1 penal establishments In this counry. and it is a common (lodge among Id stagers committed to any of the rdinary prisons to essay to convince heir jailers that they are insane and ught to be transferred to that crlmlal lunatic asylum. The most effective way of doing this s for a prisoner to make himself so xtremely troublesome that his cusadians have every reason not merely 3 opine that he is cracked but to eartily wish him in Broadmoor or nywhere else where they are not, and he law abiding world has no concepir,r> nt the trmihlp a convict Can caU8e tie staff of a prison where he is lodgd without actually committing a reach of the prison rules. A once successful dodge of this kind -it is rather threadbare'now?was to vince a fear of being poisoned, to reuse all food and drink unless tasted y a warder in the presence of the odger. The prisoner would invent a lauslble story of how his friends put im away in order to possess themplves of his fabulous fortune and had ireatened to bribe some one in the rison to convey a deadly poison to his >od. He would tell this tale to every ne who would listen and doggedly pfuse his food for days together, of?n, Indeed, until he was rendered so 1 as to be sent to the infirmary, where e would frantically refuse both food nd physic unless it were poured down is throat or tasted by the doctor. Consequently he would become so ill fiat the authorities were predisposed > deem him a fit subject for Broadloor, especially as the contingency of le prisoner dying or starvation arousd those immediately responsible for is wellbeing to the fact that "there is o arguing, as the corpse speaks for self." Thus, if a man happened to ave, as so many habitual criminals ave, a streak of Insanity in his brair ; was not unlikely he was transferred > Broadmoor when he was no mader?very likely, much saner?than lousands of other men who never put ?eir heads within an asvlum at all. This dodge is, of course, capable of nmense variation, and, redressed, it i still being played in our penal esiblishments. Some convicts, having iroadmoor in distant views and the rison infirmary in the immediate jreground will suddenly develop paslo-s for swallowing the most extrardlnary trifles. One man will evince maniacal taste for swallowing small tones, a trick a certain prisoner carled so far that when he was operated n he was found to contain more than >ur pounds of stones. Another prlsner will sacrifice his nightly comfort y gradually eating up his mattress. Ilankets and clothing are also absorbd in the same manner. But such odges as these generally miscarry nd scarcely ever lead to Broadmoor he more discreet prisoners prefer to ualify for the asylum by less heroic leasures. Kleptomaniacs in prison are not ommon, but prisoners sentenced for series of pretty thefts will someImes continue their practice in jail in rder to lead the authorities to think hey ought not to be treated like comion felons, but removed to Broadloor. Wormwood Scrubbs prison was nee verv much troubled by an aggra ated case of the kind. The man had pleaded kleptomania at Is trial, but all In vain, and five years as the sentence passed upon him. le had not been long in Wormwood crubbs when all sorts of unconsldred trifles began to disappear In the lost mysterious manner. For a long Ime the Identity of the thief was unuspected. But one day a prisoner emloyed in the printing room lorat a butan ofT his trousers, and the thief, who orked in the same department, offerd to let him have another. But It roved to be the identical button that ad been lost, and thereupon the thief ell under suspicion, which was, of ourse, the object of his noble offer. ?n his cell being searched a most exraordinary collection of articles was ound in his mattress. The list of :ems would fill half a column, but the lost common things were buttons, alls, scraps of soap rags and fraglents of wood. At one fell swoop, lneed, everything that had been missed uring the months past was recovered. The thief, instead of being sent to Iroadmoor, was punished, but neverheless he resumed his practice, and e continued his thefts and secreting tiem until he was transferred to Portind in the usual course, when he UUUCI1I.> aim tvinpicicij tvivi???vv?. In addition to Broadmoor, and much lore accessible, there is the infirmary, ito which experienced prisoners will ontrive to get despite their enjoyment f the most robust health. The dodge y which they secure this form of oliday, or relief from the ordinary outlne of prison life, is called "fetchlg the farm," the "farm" being the rison name for the infirmary. Mere sham sicknesses are useless for tiis purpose, and a prisoner ha? to reort to some more or less heroic measre to secure his holiday. One such odger is to set up blood-poisoning by eratchlng the flesh of an arm or leg ith a surreptitiously obtained rusty aii. A certain prisoner at Pentonile did this so successfully that it beame necessary to have his leg ampuited. A similur but less drastic odge is to make a wound on a limb nd keep it open until it become so ad as to "fetch the farm."?London [ail. RINGS WITH SECRET LOCKET. ebbles Mounted For Sleeve Links and Other Jewelry Novelties.

Narcissus is one of the prettiest esigns seen on silver toilet sets, beig a conventional arrangement in lling the space assigned with the atural form of flower or leaf. For the debutante is an engagelent book of pompadour design, or and painted with rosebuds or for get-nots, and finished with gold clasps and a pretty gold pencil attached by a slender chain. Among the taking frlvoltles of the moment are the useful little trinkets in miniature form which, if not In dispensable, are. as a whim of fashion, still worth while possessing for their beauty and grace. A charming cross displays two emeralds alternating with a beautiful gold leaf in dull yellow, while another cross composed of pearls is finished with a group of light colored sapphires at each end of the cross. The popularity of the old fashioned locket, which is suspended from a neckchain, is the occasion for t"he introduction of something new in this line, which has been seen in the shape of a golden ball locket worn as a charm on a jewel set bangle. Dog collars are fashionable for evening wear in Jet, pearls, precious or semi-precious stones. Rose quartz, pink Jacinth, cut crystals and mother of pearl are appropriate for young girls in collars, necklaces or beads. Also pale blue and pink bead crisscross collarettes. Women who wear other than lace cuffs, as a combination of linen and lace, have an interest In the revival of cuffs links, which are of course a variety of styles of the plain or decorative order, as conventional flowers with a pearl or diamond at the heart, or fancy knots of dull gold.?Jeweler's Circular Weekly. THE CODE OF HONOR. Dueling as It Was In France In the Time of Richelieu. The passion for dueling, which had cost France, it was said, between 7,000 and 8,000 lives during the twenty years of Henry IV.'s reign, was at its height when his son came to the throne. The council of Trent In 1845 had solemnly condemned the practice of single combat, Impartially including principals, seconds and spectators In its penalty of excommunication. 1602 an edict of Henry pronounced the "damnable custom of dueling introduced by the corruption of the century" to be the cause of so many piteous accidents, to the extreme regret and displeasure of the king and to the Irreparable damage of the state, "that we should count ourselves unworthy to hold the scepter if we delayed to repress the enormity of this crime." A whole series of edicts followed to the same effect, but It was easier to make edicts than to enforce ,them. Degradation, imprisonment, confiscation of property, loss of civil rights and death were the penalties attached to the infringement of the jaws against dueling, and still the practice prevailed. In 1626 Richelieu published a milder form of prohibition. The first offense was no longer capital, a third only of the offender's property was to be confiscated, and the judges were permitted to recognize the extenuating circumstances. A few months later the Comte de Bouteville thought fit to test the minister's patience In this direction. The Place Royale had long been a favorite dueling ground, and De Bouteville traveled from Brussels to fight his twenty-second duel here, in the,heart ' of Paris, in deliberate defianoe. of the king's authority. The result was not encouraging. Montmorency though he was the count, went with his second to the scaffold, and the marked decrease from that time in the number of duels may be attributed either to moderation used in framing the law or to the inexorable resolution with which It was enforced.?Macmillan's Magazine. THE DEVIL'S CODE. Legend of a Monk, Satan and a Quick Night's Work. Stockholm's public library contains a wonderful work which Is called "The Devil's Code" and which, In addition to its extraordinary name, Is said to be the biggest manuscript in the world. Every letter is most beautifully drawn, and the magnitude of the work is so great that it seems impossible for arty single monk to have done It. The story of the origin of the manuscript, however, not only gives it as the work of one man but also states it to be the work of a single night. The story runs as follows: "A poor monk had been condemned to death, but was told mockingly by his judges that if he was able to copy the whole 'Code' between darkness and dawn he would be saved. Relying upon the impossibility of the task, those who sentenced him furnished him with the original copy of the 'Code,' with pen ink and parchment, and left him. "Death must have been as little liked in the middle ages as it Is now, for the monk, forgetting the hopelessness of his task, commenced it. Before long, however, he saw that he could not save his own life by such weak exertions, and, fearing a cruel and horrible death, he Invoked the aid of the prince of darkness, promising to surrender his soul if he was assisted in the task. "The devil ohlieed him bv aDDear ing on the spot, accepted the contract and sat down to the work, and next morning 'The Devil's Code' was finished, the monk being found dead. The copying clerk from the infernal regions presumably fled away with the poor man's soul as soon as the wicked compact was finished."?Pearson's Weekly.
