Has duty been so pressing down below That you must leave your huiband here alone? But I've been wording, too. Bee what I've done? Bee all that manuscript upon the floor And desk and table? 1 was dreaming, though, Of you, sweet, when I heard you at the door.

Five years of wedded life. Tour Utile hand, How white and soft It Is. I'll hold It here Close, lest It get away. Five wedded years, And they've been full of comfort for us, dear. I used to sit and dream of married lire, And try to fancy what a homo would be With me, and just one person there beside Who'd call me husband and sit upon my knee.

And always love me. That was years ago, Before I knew you, aweetheart, ere you came To weave your witching wiles about my heart And lead me helpless by a captive chain. But now I dream no longer, for I know That when God planned to bless our human lot, Ha made a home just such a home at Lest Eden's paradise should be forgot You say you must go? Well, then, one more kiss. Don't stay so long away another time. There, say again you love me.

Now, good-by'. And may God bless this little wife of mine! Morda Stevens. Ih N. W. Christian Advocate.

Inquired Mrs. "To-morrow morning, as soon as 1 get my eyes open," said Mr. "Aren't you going to use any hot water at all just enough to take the chill off?" "Not a pint not a gill," said Mr. Jobson, firmly. "What's the use of fooling In, a matter of that sort? Jln-glebclls takes his plunges just as the water comes from the cold water spigot, and that's what keeps him on edge and keyed up." "But don't you think the er shock of jumping Into real icy, cold water would be Injurious? Would It not "No, Mrs.

Jobson; It wouldn't. It would not. That's the way with you women. You believe in half measures. You're always trying to fpol yourselves.

Shock? Shock nothing! What's the use of people coddling themselves if they see a chance to do themselves good I know what you've got In your mind. You think I haven't got the nerve to hop Into a tubful of cold water right after getting up In the morning. Well, there's nothing In this prosaic life I lead th'at gives me half as much fun as fooling you' up a whole lot when I -get the chance, Mrs. Job-son, and here's where I've got a chance. I'm going to take a cold bath every morning for the rest of my life, rain or shine, winter and summer, and if on eieragain catch me much as a spoonful of hot water dribble into my bath, I'll buy you the nicest hat that can be pinned together for money." "Well, I only thought-that the shock might be injurious.

If you, wake up before I do to-morrow morning, you'll oblige me by turning on the cold water in the bathtub and then waking me up. Then 111 just show you bow a man doesn't coddle himself when he has a sensible end in view!" Mrs. Jobson did wake up before Mr. Jobson the next morning. It was bitter weather, and the sun was trying to break through a bank of cold-looking clouds, Mrs.

Jobsou immediately let the cold water fill the bathtub, and it made her teeth chatter even to look at the spigot, When the tub was filled she shook Mr, Jobson. "My dear, your bath is ready," she said, as soon as he opened his eyes and looked around the room sleepily. "Bath? What bath? What kind of an Is this to oh, yes, bath remember now," said Mr. Jobson, trying to squelch the expression of dismay that rose to his features. "Bath uh-huh all right." and In eight seconds Mr.

Jobson was sound asleep again, Mis. jobson shook him again, and this time he had to come to. "Breakfast will be ready by the time you are dressed and; have, your bath," said Mrs. Jobson, coolly, but determinedly. 4 Mr.

Jobson surveyed her opt of the slants of his eyes, but said nothing, He looked as if he felt mighty fortable under the, warm bedding, hey?" mumbled Mr. oJbson, when Mrs. Jobson had left the room. "Well, I s'pose I've got to He got up, looked out of the window at the cold, drear prospect, shivered jisioiy, pui ononis ofiinroue, ana went MY WIFE. out of the 'bathroom.

He looked at ihe water in the tub with no apparent enthusiasm, and then he put his hand in it. "Jinilnll" he exclaimed, withdrawing his hand with considerable suddenness. Then he put one of his feet in the tub. "Br-r-r-r-r but that's frigid Mrs. Jobson, who wasn't far away, heard him ejaculate.

Then he put the other foot In, "Well, it's heroic treatment, nil right!" Mr. Jobson was heard by Mrs. Jobson to mumble to himself. Then she heard terrific splash, that reminded her of the tank fun of a captured walrus she had once seen, followed by snorts and gurgles and chokings and gasplngs, and then three minutes of stertorous breathing, with some Indistinct mumbling at intervals. A couple of minutes later Mr.

Jobson appeared In his bathrobe. "Jinglebells, eh?" said he to Mrs. Jobson with thb look of a conquering hero. "Thought he had me topped, didn't you7 Well, If there's anything else that you think JInglebells can do that I can't do, just jot it down, will you, please, Mrs. Jobson, and I'll attend to it." "Did you enjoy your bath?" inquired Mrs.

Jobson, with the straight-est face In the world. "Enjoy it? I reveled in Itl It's what I've been needing for 20 years. It's just 1 Imagination, this fear people have of jumping into a tubfubof cold water in the winter time pure imbecile Imag ination. Once the plunge's made, and you're all right. I love It, and If you ever catch me taking a warm bath agin you'll know I'm not in my right mind." It waB bitter cold the next 'morning, too, and when Mrs.

Jobson shook Mr. Jobson awake and told him his cold bath was waiting for him he looked as If he might, under other circumstances, say some things to her. But he got up again and went out to the bathroom, where he repeated the performance of the morning before. His gurglings and AFTER THB BATH, snorts were more prodigious than on the morning before, and when he emerged from the bathroom his lips were blue and his teeth chattered. "Y'ou are chilled through," said Mrs.

Jobson. "We-we-well, wha-wha-w hat if I am?" chattered Mr. Jobson. "If-f-feel 1-llke br-r-r-rought" and Mr. Jobson rolled under the 'bed clothes and covered himself up to the head.

It took him 15 minutes to get over shaking, and then he got up- and put on his clothes. On the following morning, when Mrs. Jobson woke him up for his plunge, Mr. Jobson came to with a start, gathered himself together, regarded Mrs. Jobson with grave austerity, and said: "My bath is ready, is it, Mrs.

Job-Bon? Well, it can stay ready. It's pretty near time for you to begin to do a little thinking with regard to some of your methods, Mrs. Jobson. You saw to what a condition that cold bath scheme of yours reduced me yesterday mornng, and yet it seems to hate aroused no sympathy within you. Y'ou calmly come to me this morning, wake me out of a sound, health-giving slumber, and tell me that you haie another one of those deadly cold baths of yours ready.

Joe Lincoln, In Saturday Evening Post. 1 Johnsonham, Junior By Paul Lawrence Dnnbar. ANYONE will agree with me that it is entirely absurd for two men to fall out about their names; but, then, circumstances alter cases. It had its beginning in 1803, and' it has just ended. In.

the first case, Ike and Jim had been good friends on the plantation, but when the time came for them to leave and seek homes for themselves each wanted a name. The master's name was Johnson, and they both felt themselves entitled to it. When Ike went forth to men as Isaac Johnson, and Jim, not to be outdone, became James Johnsonham, the rivalry began. When both families moved north and settled in Little Africa they had been taught that there must be eternal enmity between them on account of their names, and just as lasting a friendship on every other score. -But with boys it was natural that the rivalry should extend to other things.

When they went to school it was a contest for leadership both in the classroom and in sports, and when Isaac Johnson left school to go to work in the brickyard, James Johnsonham, not to be outdone in industry, also entered the same field of labor. Later it was questioned all up and down Douglass street which, by the way, Is the social center of' Little Af- 'rlca ns to whioh of the two was the better dancer or, the more gallant 'beau. It was a piece of good fortune that tney did not fall in love with the same girl and bring their rhnlry into their affairs of the heart, for they were only men, and nothing vault have Kept them friends. But they camo quite as i.epr it as they could, for Matilda Benson was as brlgnt a girl a Martha Mason, and when Ike marritd her she was an even-running contestant with bet friend Martha for (he highest social honors of their own set. It was a foregone conclusion that when they were married and settled they should live near each other.

So the houses were distant from each other only two or three doors. It was because everyone knew everyone else's business in that locality that Sandy Worthington took it upon himself to taunt the two men about their bone of contention. i "Mr. Johnson," he would say, when, coming from the downtown store where he worked, he would meet, the two coming from their own labors In the brickyard, "how are you an' Mis-tali Johnsonham It ovah yo' names?" "Well, I don' know that Johnsonham Is so much of a name." Ikcf would say; and Jim would reply: "I 'low it's mo' name than Johnson, anyhow." "So is stealin' ham mo' than stealing" was the other's rejoinder, and then his friends would double up with mirth. Sometimes the victorious repartee was Jim's, and then the laugh was on the other side.

But the two went at it all good-naturedly until one day, one foolish day, when they had both stopped too often on the way home, Jim grew angry at some little tling of his friend's and burst into hot abuse of him. At first Ike was only astonished, and then his eyes, red with the dust of the brick field, grew redder, the veins of his swarthy face swelled, ant with a "Take that, MUtah Johnsonham," he gave Jim a resounding thwack across the face. It took only a little time for a crowd to gather, and, with their usual tormentor to urge them on, the men forgot themselves nnd went into the fight in dead earnest. It was a bard-fought battle. Both rolled in the dust, caught at each other's short hair, pummeled, bit and swore.

They were stjll rolling and tumbling when wives, apprised of the goings on, appeared upon the scene and marched them home. After that, because they were men they kept a sullen silence between them, but Matilda and Martha, because they were women, had much to say to each other, and many unpleasnnt epithets to hurl again across the two ynrds that intervened between them. Finally neither family to tho other. And then one there was a great bustle about Jim's house. A wise old woman went waddling in, and later the doctor came That night the proud husband and father was treating his friends and telling them it was a boy, and his name was to be James Johnsonham, Jr.

For a week Jim was irregular and unsteady in his habits, when, one night, full of gin and pride, he staggered up to a crowd which was surrounding his rival and said in loud volcei "James Jr. how does that strike you?" "Any bettah than Isaac Johnson, asked some one, slapping tne nappy ike on tne suouiacr as tne crowd burst Into loud guffaw. Jim's head was sadly bemuddled, anil for a time he gazed upon the' faces about him in bewilderment. Then a light broke in upon his mind, nnd with a "Whoo-eel" he suid: "Not" Ike grinned a delimit grin nt him, and led the way to the nearest place where he and his friends might celebrate. Jim went home to his wjfe full of unger.

"Ike Johnson got a boy ul his house, too," he said, "an he done put Junior to his name." Martha raised her head from the pillow nnd hugged her own baby to her breast closer. "It do beat nil," she made answer, airily; "we can't do blessed thing but them thalh Johnsons has to follow right In ouah steps. Anyhow, I don' believe their baby is no slch healthy lookln' chile as this one Is, luess his little hea'tl 'Cause I knows Matilda Benson neiah wns any too strong." She wns right; Mntlldn Benson was not so strong. The doctor went oftener to Ike's house than he had gone to Jim's, and three or four dujs after an undertaker went In. They tried to keep the news from Martha's ears, but somehow it leaked into them, nnd when Jim came home on that evening she looked Into her husband's face with a strange, new expression, "Oh, Jim," she cried, weakly.

'Til-dy done gone, an' me jes' spenkin' ha'd 'bout huh a little while ngol an' that po' baby lef thaih to die! Ain't it awful?" "Nev min'," said Jim, huskily; "nev" min honey." He had seen Ike's face when the messenger had come for him at the brickyard, nnd the memory of It was' like a knife nt his heart. "Jes' think, I said, only a day or so ago," Martha went on, "that 'Tildy wasn't strong; nn' I was glad of Tim, I was glad of it! I was jealous of huh havln' baby, too. Now she's dald, an' "I'SE CUM FUR DE I3AMY I feel jes' Ink I'd killed huh. S'p'osln God 'ud sen' a jedgment on me s'p'osln' He'd take our little Jim?" "Sh, sh, honey," said Jim, with a man's inadequacy in such a moment. 'Taln't yo' fault; you nevah wished huh nny ha'ra." "Xo; but I said It, I said itl" 'To' Ike," said Jim, nbsentlv; "po fellah!" "Won't jou go thaih," she nfked, "an' sec what you kin clofu'liim?" "lie don' speak to me." "You mus' speak to him; you fjot to do It, Jim; vou pot'to." "Wlint kin I sny? 'Tildy's dald." She readied up and put her arms around her husband's brawny neck.

"Oo bring that po' little Inmbhyeah," she said. "I kin save two. It'll be a sort of consolation fu him to keep his chile." "Kin yoti-do that, Marthy?" he said. "Kin you do that?" "I know I kin." A great loud seemed to lift Itself from Jim's heart ns he burst out of the house. He opened Ike's door without knocking.

The man sat by the empty fireplace with his head bowed over the nshes. "Ike." he said, and then stopped. Ike raised his head and glanced nt him with a look of dull despair. "She's gone," he replied; "Tildy's gone." There no touch of anger im his tone. It wns as if he took the visit for granted.

All petty emotions had passed away before this great feeling which touched both earth and the beyond. "I cum fu' the bain." said Jim. "Marthy, she'll take kcer of It." He reached down and found the other's hand, and the two hard palms closed together In strong grip. "Ike," he went on. "I'm goln' to drop the 'Junior' nn' the 'ham, an' the two little ones'll jes' grw up togethah, one o' them lak the othah." The bereaved husband made no response.

He only gripped the hand tighter. A little while later Jlra came hastily the house with something small wrapped closely In a shawl. Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. STOPPED TRAIN FOR MATCH. Experience of Clerk Who Had Work He Couldn't Do In tbe Dark.

"I noticed in the paper the other day," observed an old railway postal clerk, according to the Sioux City Journal, "the story of how the cap- tain. of the little gasoline boat that snow storm Saturduy afternoon, mis-left here for up the Missouri bud to tainlng bruises ubout the body nnd a come back overland for 40 miles for a repair that cost him only ten cents, but which was just as necessary as if it cost the price of the whole engine. to my mind an experience I once had on tbe run between hero and Missouri Valley, on the Sioux City Pacific, illustrating how much may hang upon komething ordinarily quite insignificant. Be tween Whiting and Ottawa one night a gust of wind blew out every lamp in the lunil car, which, of course, made It impossible for me to work, I and I bad considerable to do yet to tie up Ottawa's mall. I put my hand I lu my pocket to get a match, but i couldn't find any.

Something hod to be done quickly, and nil there was left fcr me to do wns to pull the bell cord and signal the engine to stop. The conductor, brnkemun and some of tho passengers came running to head of the train to learn what was the matter. The darkness In my car suggested that perhaps there had been a hold-up and robbery of the mail; but when I called to the conductor to give me a matfh, it relieved his anxiety, but it did not entirely restore his good humor; I lit my lumps again and had my mall ready when wo reached Onawa. Since that time I am especially careful to see that I have an ample match supply." FIFTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. First Session.
