It isn't necessary to repeat the quotation. Why, the married woman who doee H Is a social ghoul cavorting heed l???ly. wantonly, cruelly, hideously on the grave of dead hopee, gouging her question Into the body of lost love! Before she married she was like other women t ho rough fare rs. Afterward, seated In the matrimonial automobile, she dashes headlong among the onea who still walk and knocks the very breath out of them. Apparently, she thinks the marriage machine la meant to send single pedestrians scurrying and dodging. Anyway, that's the use she makes of It. * If married women forget how It Pn1| to be unmarried and asked why, here is telling them! It feels painful and lonely and sad. 1^/ t*kes sweetness and courage and an enormous amount of the good, gar den variety of aense to bear vp grace fully. And when idle or thought less cnrloslty goes digging and snag gllng and punching about In the sore and sacred plaoea of the heart, the Buffering and the rage It ereates Is too awful to mention. What really ought to happen to these inquiring matrons la this: When one aaks a maid the question* the maid should scare her Into gal loping hysterics by looking meaning ly at her one aad only husband and observing, con expressions ? "The man I love Is married!" The matron would THINK. Indeed, she would be thinking even while she hurriedly pleaded an engagement and piloted her husband out of the maid's dangerous neighborhood. Pob slbly that is all that is needed? -iust to 'Be t the married interrogators think ing ? -to make them realize the enorm ity of their offense. Surely the utter -violation of good taste, the inexcus able intrusion into personal affairs, the suffering they carelessly create must make them pause. If a wife askn the REASON and a maid Insinuates that SHE is IT, ehe levels the popgun of her impertlment inquiry full in the face of another spinster. And every matron made to think ? and feel a little wholesome fear, perhaps ? will mean one less maid, at least, to be grilled on the hot plate of the married woman's curiosity. If every pretty and attractive un married woman would follow out this suggestion a reformation would be effected that would enable us to pre serve the sacredness of our memories or our pride or ? our reputations! It's worth trying! ? New York Press. What It Come* To. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley told In an ad* drees in Washington a story apropos of food adulteration. "There was a man," he said, "who manufactured so-called silver spoons. ? dealer bought largely from him, but was always clamoring for a lower price. ~ '"Bat I can't lower the price/ the manufacturer would say, 'unless 1 put In more lead.* ?*AH right ? more lead, by m means.' This the dealer reply. "The other week the dealer wired that be would take an enormous con signment of spoons if the price were cut a further ten per cent. NT?aH Ht the price another pen ny/ the manufacturer wired back. "'Put in more lead/ wired the deal ?r. ; . - _ - ? -?-???? - -,^rr.-r:rT. - " Impossible/ was the manufactur er's reply. 'Last lot I shipped you were all lead/ " 1 ' L' 'v/ No Change* They had parted years ago. Now, in the deepening shadows of Scotland's twilight, they met again. "Here be the old stile, Annie," he Mid. ^ "Aye; and here be our initials that yon carved, John," she replied. The ensuing silence was only bro ken by the buzzing of an aviator over head. Honey-laden a memories thrilled through the twilight and flushed^ their glowing cheeks. "Hh, Annie," exclaimed John, sud denly seizing her fair, slim hand, "ye're jlst as beautiful as ye ever were, an' I hae never forgotten ye, my bonnfe lass I" . "And ye, John*" she .cried, while her blue een moistened tremulously, "are jlst as big a leear as ever, an' I believe ye |tet the sunst" PROVERBS MOSTLY OLD HAJQRfTY HAVE BEEN HANDC9 DOWN FOR CEN^URIM. 6ame Meaning U Expressed In Vm* ' ph r*a?? Among Different N*. tlone? Comments on Luck Are Most Expressly*. Meay proverbs hare oome do we to *a from remote a?eft, and are euu ?won to all nation*. It Is said that a kin* of Ba?ee worked hie slaves nearly to death la ?taking a vineyard- Thla provoked oae of th??in to prophecy that hla mns Ur would never drink the wine. The king, being told of this, when the flrst grapes were produoed took % handful, and, pressing the Juice Into a eup In tho presence of the slate, de rided him hi a , false prophet "Many things liMppeu between the cup and the Hp." the slave replied Just then a shout was heard that a wild txmr had broken Into the viae yard. The king, without tasting, eel down the cup, ran to maet It, and waa killed lu the encouuter. Henceforth the worda of the slave passed into a preverb Won this Greek original came twe French proverbs: "Between the hand aad the mouth the aoup la often split/* aad "Wine poured out Is not swallow #4.** Neither Is so near the original aa oar English, "There's many a all# twlxt cup and Hp." It Is curious to trace how similar Ideas hare taken root In different lan guages and the various modes of Illus trating the same thought. For In stance, one or two familiar pro verba In our own language. We eay, "A bird la the hand Is worth two In the hush.** The same Idea La expressed by Italians when they say, "Better an fgg today than a pullet tomorrow," and the IPrench proverb Is still more significant, "One here-it-ls la better than two youshall have-Its." "Better a leveret In the kitchen than a wild boar tn the forest," Is the Livontan saying ednveylng tho sanje meaning. The proverbs on luck are numerous s?4 ei press! ve In all languages. In Kngllsh we say, "It Is better to bo born lucky than rich." The Arabs con vey the same idea in the apt proverb, "Throw him Into the Nile and hejwlll come up with a fish In his mouth," while the German says, "If he flung a penny on the roof a dollar would oome back to him." A Spanish proverb gays, "God send you luck, my son, and little wit will serve you." There Is a Latin adage, "Fortune favors fools," and It la to this Touchstone alludes in his reply to Jacques, "Call me not a fool till heaven hath sent me fortune." The Germans say, "J'xck gets on by hie stupidity" and "Fortune and wom en are fond of fools." There Is also a Latin proverb which shows that the converse of this holds good: "Fortune makes a fool of him whom she too much favors." Some unhlcky Englishman is respon sible for the saying: "If my father had made me a hatter, when would have been born without heads/' but this can scarcely be called original, as an unfortunate Arab, ages ago, de clared, "If I were to trade In winding sheets no one would die." "Misfortunes seldom come singly," has many equivalents ift nil languages. The Spaniards say, "Welcome, mis fortune, if thou comeSt alone," and "Whither gocst thou, misfortune? To where there is more?" Called Halt on Lawyer. Laura Hamilton tells of a funny courtroom episode which she saw ono day while playing in the south some : time ago. _ . | A young lawyer had been appointed by the court to defend a man charged with larceny. In his arguraont to the i jury he pleaded for the acquittal of his client He told of his innocent boyhood days, of his good character* of his father, mother and brothers. In short, he launched forth into a fam ily history. . ? The prisoner, an old darky, had lie* tened with growing uneasiness to his counsel's plea, and as the attorney went on without a hint of stopping, the negro was driven to desperation. Jumping to hla feet, he Relied to the court: r Ts guilty, yo * honah; T'b guilty! De jury cant do no moh dan send me to jail fo* six mouths, but If dat fool lawyer doaa rtop, dey'll hang me fo* suah!" Identified. The two American war correspon dents were gazing at the conflict when Kinkletop caught eight of a gallant officer leading a charge. "Hie face is* strangely familiar," he said. "That Greek > lieutenant, I mean ? " "Yes," said Blithers. "He used to run the boot-blacking stand In that barber shop oyer on Steenth avenue and Umtp-Iph streot," And Just then "the noble warrior dsihed madly past, and, forgetting himself under the excitement of the moment, turned and cried aloud to his adranelng troops: -> "Next! Shine!" And1 the Indomitable phalanx moved steadily up the hill, giving the enemy the worst pollshlng-off they had had since war was declared. ? Harper's Weekly. 8trenuous Oratory. Caller ?
