Therefore, as Ids mind fell to musing concerning that imaginary couple he began to write accordingly. As incompletion in a worthy undertaking is not com mendable, a few remarks concerning this couple will yet be made.

A brief narrative of an incident that occurred in a western town, which came under our own observa tion, will now be given for the pur pose of describing another type of the laboring class. While we were staying next door to this family, that does not signify we were well ac quainted, for, as everyone knows, persons very often reside in the same building and yet remain total strang ers. Well, the man in question was— and is yet, for all we know—a me chanic by trade. He migrated to that town without any previous engage ment with the expectation of obtain ing work on the strength of his repu- she really had forgotten the precious j t al j on as a machinist, and he was not " disappointed. He simply carried his huge tool box over to the great “steel plant” and went to work. He could easily command wages at the rate of four dollars per day. So far, so good; but again we find the husband failing to comply with his marriage vows. It is here we find the husband instead of the wife—as was described in a previous article—“out late at night.” He had also been a gambler but he was said to have reformed in that respect.. It was also rumored that he had two living lives and also that wife number two was aware of that fact, that her love for him was so great she would rather die than part from him under and considera tion. There can be no doubt as to the sincerity of her affection for him, as this narrative will prove. As to her personal appearance, we shall not make any atlc"ipc to describe it, but will merely remark that if any person should be pardoned for bigamy her husband was the man. H. M. (To be continued.)

In striving to make a faithful wife and a devoted mother she had smoothed all ambi- tioous desires. She had tried to pei- suade herself that her parents made a hugh mistake in educating and pre paring her for a professional career instead of teaching her both the ne cessity and the essentials of becoming an efficient regulator of domestic ma chinery. But today a crisis in her life is reached. Her husband had the audacity to hurl in her ears the un merciful declaration that he did not care if she did return to her parents. Upon such provocation as this it is natural that her sensitive nature would be affected. While looking over the mementos of happier days, pe rusing her favorite school books and living her old life over again, as It were, it is perfectly natural that the powers that had long lay dormant within her would now break forth with renewed energy. Yes, consider ing her nature and the present status of affairs it is very reasonable to sup pose that in her excitement she would have forgotten even the precious lit tle treasure, which since its advent in to this world she had loved more than all things else. As she stood there seriously debating in her mind wheth er or not she would go, there came about a reaction within her and now instead of making a resolve to desert her home and husband, she made an inverse determination to remain, and flinging herself down beside her in fant child gave vent to her feelings in a series of kisses and loving em braces, at the same time exclaiming that she would never, no never, leave it. She, like most women, grew calm er after a season of weeping and then began to argue with her own resent ful nature. Oh! the many things that may hap PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Our personal opinioon is that a man who is alto gether devoid of music In his soul and who feels no warmth in his heart for a lovely woman is one of the most detestable of brutes. On the other hand, the number of the most be witching feminine creatures who are not well adapted to the pactice of de ception are conspicuous for their scarcity. It has been said that man (the human race), is a bundle of mis takes, and we would like to add that woman (especially), is a bundle of deceit. Of course we do not mean to insinuate that they are all that way; we merely mean to say that the prac tice of deceit, to a greater or lesser degree, is very near a universal trait in the general character of woman. However, this is neither the place nor the time to discuss this phase of fem inine nature, and for fear some one may accuse us of having been one of its victims we will now get back to our subject.
