John L. Sullivan's wife calls him a mollycoddle. Such then is fame and greatness. French Doctors say President Castro drinks too much. Still it's no worse than being blamed for not drinking enough.

EmperorfWilliam, of Germany, is reported as a late recruit on the water wagon. Since he talked too much and got such a calling down from the German people, he seems to be getting down to the good old earth in fine shape. It seems hard to believe that President Roosevelt would jostle a young woman almost out of her saddle and strike her horse a vicious blow, because a party of ladies unaccompanied by gentlemen es-court desired to ride faster than nis party was riding. If the ladies tell the truth, then Europe does not contain a greater snob and bigot than he is. That would brand him as not even a gentleman.

Surely the women have made some mistake. Last week's edition of The Tribune was the greatest in several senses of the word, of any edition of a newspaper ever pub usnea in our little city. In the first place it contained the most square inches of type. In the second place it paid the largest sum into the postoffice for mailing expense ever paid by any paper in ilicksville for a single edition in the third place it contained 846 inches of bonafide advertising, which was also the greatest ever contained in a Ilicksville paper in any one edition. In the fourth place it reached the most bonafide subscribers of any paper ever published in our little city.

It was right on time, not a moment late. All this in a regular edition. It was no write-up number, and was due simply to the pushing, hustling business interests of Ilicksville.

It would be just as sensible for them to prescribe Quinine in its crude form as to prescribe Cod Liver Oil in its natural state. In Scott's Emulsion the oil is emulsified and made easy to take easy to digest and easy to be absorbed in to the body and is the most natural and useful fatty food to feed and nourish the wasted body that is known in medicine today.

I could have had It sent up from the store, but I wus afraid It would not be ou hand for tomorrow morning." But you can Just say what la In the bundle, cant you?" she persisted. "Not a word. In due thno you shall know all, and when you come to know I guess you won't think I'm such a slow old poke after all." During the dinner hour Mrs. Bow- sera curiosity was running on mimi "(PELt, NOW, BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS bundle. She floured Unit It was too Hinnll for a now milk cow.

Mr. Dowser chuckled to himself and looked benevoleut nud complacent and held on to the mystery until dinner was over und they hud returned to the sitting room. Then be lighted a cigar and wu Iked wound with his hands under his couttuils and suld: "Mrs. Dowser; do you know why the Interior of this bouse must remind every one that euters our doors of a sawmllir "What do you mean by such ques tion as that?" she replied. "Just exactly whnt I said.

Look 11 round you. Do you see any art lu the carpet? Is there any In the furniture? Is there uny In the wull paper? Look up or look down, und you Qnd the same old thing. Up to date people must wonder If we belong to the lust century." "And who bought the furniture, the carpels and the wall puper, Mr. Bowser? I wanted to select those thing, ns every wife should, but you wouldn't have It that way. It must be what you suld or nothing." "No back tulk, woman.

I kuew your tastes und bought accordingly. 1 have never been satisfied. Time and time ngaln I havo fairly longed to live lu a barn for a change. There nre times wheu this sameness, this ubseuce of on my nerves until I want to tuke the nx and smash thiugs up." "And now the contents of thut bundle are going to change the house into regulur studio of art?" she asked. "It Is going to change the library, nt least, and then we will take room by room and go through the whole bouse.

You shall now have your burning curiosity gratified." Then Mr. Bowser went down the hall nfter the bundle and brought It back with him and tore off the wrapper and revealed eight double rolls of wall paper. He uurolled one of them for a couple of yards and held It up und said: "Well, now, but what do you think of this?" Mrs. Bowser knew It to be a pattern at least fifteen years old. It wus cheap paper, such as might be found in the ottlce of a village hotel.

It was a paper with pictures on it pictures of Shakespeare, Byron and Milton fol lowing each other In succession. "Where Is the art?" she asked after a moment's study. "The art, the art? Woman, look there and there aud there! Who was Shakespeare? Who were the others? Could anything be more appropriate for a library? Here Is art. Here Is sentiment. Here Is genius.

Why. from the hour the paper Is on the walls I shall spend my evenings In the library looking at It." "Ilave you got a paperhanger to put it on?" "No, ma'am, I haven't. The hand of no sordid paperhanger shall defile this paper. I shall haug It myself. I have arranged to stay home tomorrow to do It." "1 I wish you wouldu't," she replied, with a sigh! "No doubt you do.

But 1 shall, Just the same, i'ou nro satisfied wlili the old sawmill ns It Is. If you had your way you'd chuck this paper Into the furnace. Walt uutll tomorrow however, and perhaps I can bring about a chuuge of mind. See tho pa per as It looks on the wull before yon' make up your mind to commit sul clde." Mis. BowRer said no more.

Of what use? Mr. Bowser would go ahead jus; the same. She managed to Introduce another subject, and the matter wn dropped, although Mr. Bowser Insisted on unrolling all tho other rolls niul trailing them over the floor aud sitting there and looking at them for half 11 hour after she bad gone to bed. The art business was entered upon bright and early next morning.

When Mr. Bowser was all ready to begin work his Instructions to ber were: "Now, you keep out of the library. 1 want no criticisms until the Job Is complete."

The cooU had made hiu a pun ef paste, and he was auxlous to get to work. He wanted the art to beglu to show up so as to cheer li tin on. In about II teen minutes Mi's. Bowser made an excuse to enter the library. The furniture had all beeu shoved to one side, and the first strip of the new paper was ou.

"Didn't I tell you not to come In roared Mr. Bowser. "Yes, but I'm looking for my thimble. Got a strip ou, eh? Shakespeare, Byron and Milton look well standing on their hends. How did you happen to think of the Improvement?" The strip had been put on upside down.

Mr. Rowser would have denied It, but the evidence was too plain. He at flrst decided to charge Mrs. Bowser with doing It to spite him, but chunged his mind and took her by the shoulders and pushed her out of the room. Then be peeled down the strip and put It on right end up.

When lunch was ready ho locked the door behind him, and when she asked how his art work was coming on he didn't do any boasting.

In fact, he seemed depressed and puzzled. She offered to go In and trim paper for him, but he glsred at her and did not nuswer.
