ft via the office of the famous de
tective, Mr. Shedrluck Bones.
The visitor, a mao of rather small
height but liberal width, sat down.
“Married P* snapped Bones.
; “Row do you know I’m married 7*’
gasped tl»e visitor. •**
“By the samples of silk to be
matched in your vest-pocket, and your

Sbeerluck.
The man gaspqd.
“It is marvelous how you know
things r exclaimed the man. “But it
is about my wife I came to see ypu.
She acta »o queerly lately. She. tf Iks
to herself all the time, stands before
her mirror and talks to herself. It’s
awful! And she does the most ter
rible things. She’ll put a cake of
soap In the soup and scrub the pans
with the soup bone, talking to her
self all the time.”
And the poor man wiped his brow
nervously. *
/‘How long has this state of affairs
been going on?” asked the great de
tective.
“Oh, for about a week now. And.
Mr..Bones, 1 can’t stand It any longer.
. It’s driving me crazy. I’m afraid she’ll
sell the baby for a bundle of rags, or
something.”
“H’ra! Er, isn’t It Just possible
that your wife is merely practicing
and rehearsing her speech for the
next meeting of the National Women’s
Rulers of Home league? I see its
meeting takes place tomorrow night."
“By Jove! You’re right. She Is
third existent chairman of that
league. 1 forgot It!”
With a relieved cry. the little man
rushed home, and even forgot, in his
glad relief, to pay the great detec
tive’s fee.—London Answers.

There are many families sod rsrl#-
tics of the shark. Some of these fam
ilies are smaller, mors cowardly mod
less successful as killers than other
famine*, says the Kansas City Star.
They are uol especially fierce toward
things that ar* bigger and stronger
Uiau they. The dusky sharks and the
sand sharks are not believed to be man
killers, but they are man eaters when
the opportunity arrives.
The largest and fiercest shark Is the
great white shark. His disposition Is
to kill and eat. and he Is to large and
strong and self-confident that he will
attack ani thing that twUn*, and a man
is little more than a minnow or a her

Says Hearts Really Break. ,
Poets and romance writers for ages
have been on firm ground when they
have pictured broken-hearted swains
and maidens.
.According to Dr. Strickland Goodall,
a noted heart specialist, It* Is a physi
ological fart that hearts do break. But
lie says, joy aud not woe or hard work
is more frequently the cause of a
broken heart. In his long experience
he lias found that emotion rather than
hard work lias been responsible for
broken hearts.
“Don’t get into a temper,” says Dr.
Goodall, “because it increases the
heart’s work by seventy-two foot
pounds. Rutming upstairs is foolish,
because the increase is 162 foot
pounds.' If man spends one day in
bed weekly he saves his heart 998,4^
foot p<wind<»’’ ‘ _
