Mother was anxious that I should
marry and settle down. I was
wasting my money in society and
doing nothing.
“Very well,” I said to myself,
“I’ll choose a wife. Who shall it
be? Why not Vene Wright? She
has money, and that is an important
item.”
But Vene somehow or other did
not exactly suit the case and my
mind reverted to Miss Beaufort,
who was smart, pretty, stylish and
suited better, but I knew nothing
about her financial standing. This
was an important matter to me in
those days.
Meanwhile the carriage ap-
proached Miss Beaufort’s. I had
never been there before, and to my
surprise found it to be a very un¬
pretentious house. I confess I was
disappointed. I expected to drive
up ered to into an elegant mansion, be ush-
a tine livery reception room by
a servant in and there await
the coming of Miss Beaufort. Then
I expected to make a bc#d dash for
•her heart, propose and possibly
-be accepted or declined by the time
the party was over.
But not so. A little lady with
gray hair opened the door, and she
was introduced to me by Miss Beau¬
fort as “mamma.” Miss Beaufort
was ready and waiting, so we walked
out to the carriage.
“Mr. Silver,” said she after we
had seated ourselves, “don’t you
think there is a great amount of
snobbery in society and lots of
downright foolishness?”
“Well, yes,” said I.
“For instance,” said she, “here is
an elegant carriage that you have
brought for me, and yet the party
is not half a mile away.”
This certainly was very refresh¬
ing. i had actually squandered £1
to have this carriage for the evening
and she was not pleasad with it. I
know Vene would h^re enjoyed a
ride in it.
“Mr. Silver,” she remarked again,
“this is the last party I am going
to this winter.”
“Well, why?” said I. “Aren’t
y ongoing ball to take in the German
club and the others ?”
“No,” said she. “Mamina hasn’t
the money; she can’t afford it. Be¬
sides, Mr. Silver,” she continued,
“can you really afford to spend so

I looked at her. There was hon¬
esty fairly shining out of her pretty
black eyes even if she wasn't very
polite, so 1 answered her honestly:
“No, Miss Beaufort, I cannot I I
haven’t Baved a penny this win¬
ter, and I get a big salary too. It
seems idiotic.”
“I have met you so frequently I
feel quite well acquainted with you,
though 1 expect I have been a little
impolite.”
“No,” said 1 . “I am glad that
you take that much interest in me*
Then we changed the subject. I
had a splendid time at the party and
enjoyed Miss Beaufort’s company
very much. I found her level head¬
ed and bright if she was too frank.
The next day I told mother about
it. She said she admired Miss Beau¬
fort for her common sense, though
she had never seen her. Then she
referred again to my getting mar¬
ried.
“Suppose,” said she, “that you
pretend for a week or so that you
are married and see how it goes ?”
“An imitation wife ?” said I.
“Why not?” she said. “I will
write the name of a young lady on
a card, seal it in an envelope and
you can lock it in your desk. Then
let us suppose you are married to
her for, say, two weeks. During
that time I want you to act just as

“Never mind,” said she. “I will

agreed on this. Mother wrote
the name on the card and sealed it
in the envelope. I knew it was
Vene Wright’s name, so I decided to
imagine that Vene was there in per¬
son, and so we commenced the
week.
the Monday night came. That was
night of the German club ball,
but I stayed at home and talked to
mother. Then I played draughts
with her for awhile, and we man¬
aged to have a very enjoyable even¬
ing.
Next morning mother met me at
the table with smiles and about
the best breakfast I had eaten for
a long while.
“You must imagine that your
wife saw to this breakfast,” she
whispered.

Miss Beaufort. I bowed to her
gracefully, passed her fare to the
conductor and was about to sit
down by her side when I happened
to think of my imitation wife at
home and kept my seat by the door.
“Married men have no business
talking to the young ladies,” said
I to m} r self.
Miss Beaufort looked at me
rather queerly, but said nothing,
and I thought the bus would never

“Good Will to All Men.’
Thursday was the evening I was
to call on Vene, and I forgot to send
her an excuse. On Friday a note
came from her which mother took
the liberty of opening, as she
thought I would not care, and she
felt like re jpresenting my wife in
the desk. It was a tender missive
and somewhat surprised me when I
saw it. But what could I do? Mar-
ried men have no business getting
tender notes from young ladies. In-
aamuch a3 I had contracted to carry
out mother’s plan for two weeks 1
left the note for mother to an-
swer. She is a very truthful wo-
man, but in answering the note she
prevaricated.
She said that I was very sick, and
as a natural consequence Vene
called that afternoon to see me, but
I was at business, and mother had
to invent another story. Then she
had to come all the way to the
office so as to keep me from coming
home my usual way for fear Vene
might catch us.
I laughed a good deal at mother,
and Vene did not find us out, but
Mrs. Jones—an awful gossip—met
her, and Vene told her I was sick,
and the next day all my society
friends came round, among them
Miss Beaufort.
Mother met her rather coldly,
but invited her to stay awhile.
“I suppose Mr. Silver is almost
worn out with so much going out ?”
said the young lady.
“He is much better,” said
mother, “but 1 do not think he will
go out for several weeks. I think
that I shall keep him at home.”
“I am so glad,” said Miss Beau¬
fort; “not that you are going to
keep him at home, but that he is
not going out so much. I am get¬
ting so that I fairly detest society.”
Here was a woman who had my
mother’s views, and they both there¬
upon had a confidential talk and
pleased each other mightily.
Then she asked the mater to call
on her mother, which she did.
Meanwhile I was staying at home
every evening and was getting
pretty tired of it, as the two weeks
were drawing to a close.
“Don’t you think a man ought to
take his wife out once in awhile?”
said I to mother.
“Why not?” said she.
“Then I’ll take her to the theater
tonight.” So I took a couple of
reserved seats at Drury Lane the¬
ater for the following night, and
mother, who represented my wife,
went with me.
We had hardly taken our seats
before I noticed that they were ad¬
joining those of Miss and Mrs.
Beaufort.
We went home together that
night and laughed and talked a
good deal.
I think mother told Mrs. Beaufort
what we had been doing, but I did
not hear it. I know that several
days later, after my two weeks of
married life were over, I went to
call on Miss Beaufort. We had a
pleasant time together, and just as
I was about to leave the old lady
came in.
“I forgot to ask you, Mr. Silver,
what you thought of married life,”
she said.
Miss Beaufort looked horrified,
but laughed.
“Mother has been telling you,
has she ?” said I.
“She has,” said she.
“Well,” said I, “during the two
weeks I was married I read three
good books, gained four pounds in
weight, saved $ 25 , besides paying
mother for mv wife’s board and the
tr
tickets to the theater.”
“And who were you married to ?”
ask Miss Beaufort.
“I forgot to look,” said I. I hur¬
ried home to see who my wife had
been. The envelope was just as I
had placed it in my desk drawer. I
tore it open, and there was the name
of Miss Beaufort.
“Well,” said I, “mother made her
an imitation wife; now I will try
to make her a real one.”
And so I did.

Honey For Burns.
A baby two years old put her
fingers into her mother’s teacup
full of boiling tea as we were being
seated at the table at a friend’s
house. There was a plate of honey
on the table. “Put honey on her
fingers!” I exclaimed, but no ono
heeded, thinking, no doubt, I did
not realize what I was saying.
Time was precious if the little
fingers would he saved from blister¬
ing, so I caught up the plate and
spread out the little hand into the
strained honey, daubing the fingers
as best I could, then wrapped my
handkerchief hastily around them.
The mother was half indignant, and
the hostess looked as though un¬
warrantable liberties had been
taken, but the next day there was
no sign of burn, except between two
of the little fingers, where the
honey had not reached, there were
some water blisters. My mother
always kept a jar of strained honey
for such emergencies, and there is
nothing better. Vaseline is good,
so also is a paste of soda and water,
but neither equals honey.—Good
Housekeeping.
"A Look and Half a Look.”
While in Florida traveling a
road I asked a native how
far it was to the next town, -and
his reply was, after squinting sharp¬
ly in the direction of the place:
“Waal, I reckin hit’s about a look
an’ a half a look.” That meant as far
as I could see and half as far again,
providing our ranges of vision were
the same, which was not nearly the
case, as I was unaccustomed to look¬
ing across the pine barrens. The
origin of the expression puzzled
me for a long time, but at last it is
settled. After Abraham went out
of Egypt the Lord said to him:
“Lift up now thine eyes northward
and southward and eastward and
westward, for all the land which
thou seest to thee will I give it and
to thy seed forever.”—New York
Press.

Work of the Plodders.
If we were to examine a list of
the men who have left their mark
on the world, we should find that,
who as a rule, it brilliant is not composed of those
were in youth or who
gave great promise at the outset of
their careers, but rather of the plod-
ding young men who, if they have
not dazzled by their brilliancy, have
had the power of a day’s work in
them, who could stay by a task un¬
til it was done and well done; who
have had grit, persistence, common
sense and honesty, says Success. It
is the steady exercise of these or¬
dinary, homely virtues, united with
average ability, rather than a de¬
ceptive display of more showy qual¬
ities in youth, that enables a man
to achieve greatly and honorably.
So if we were ta attempt to make
a forecast of the successful men of
the future we should not look for
them among the ranks of the smart
boys, those who think they know it
all and are anxious to win by a
short route.
Cooking Food by Cooling It.
People who have experienced ex¬
treme cold say that it is very similar
to extreme heat. Any one who has
ever picked up a piece of intensely
cold iron knows that the Jtouch
burns and blisters almost as badly
as if the metal were red hot. This
natural law has been made use of
by clever chemists to cause cold to
produce the same effect as heat. One
has actually cooked meat by placing
it in an atmosphere of 100 to 150
degrees F. below zero. When the
m§at was removed, it was placed at
once in airtight cans. It was after¬
ward eaten and found to be very pal¬
atable.
