thor (and eminent authors, for that
matter) before him, he is fond of
occasionally permitting his thoughts
to lead him instead of striving to
guide his thoughts. 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. At the
conclusion of our last letter this un

turning to behold for the last time,
as she thought, the surroundings, her

j the salesmen as a class. The same
type of character as above described
will be found in all the walks of life.
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.

treasure nestled cozily in its crib, a
perfect picture cf sweetness and help
lessness combined. 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

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

may accuse us of having been one of
its victims we will now get back to
