YOU CAN'T BEAT ’EM. 3 THIS WAS JOBSON’S CONCLUSION ABOUT WOMEN IN GENERAL. . It Wn« Prompted by n Midnight Ei ’ perlence W illi 111, Wife, In Which the Revenge That He Had Planned ’ So Well Went Sadly Aatray. Mr. Jobson got home from bis office at 4:15 one afternoon not long ago and found a note from Mrs. Jobson saying that she bad gone to hear the perform ance of a long haired pianist and that he’d find hie dinner all ready for the girl to serve it. “That's a good thing, too," mused Mr. Jobson sulkily when be had read the note. “It’s a wonder these mattress headed geniuses that come over here to this country and rake in American dol lars, hating Americans all the time, wouldn’t call their game at an hour that ’ud permit a toiling man’s wife to be on hand at heme to give him some thing to eat when he wants it,” etc. The opportunity was too good for Mr. Jobson to miss, so he declined to eat any dinner when the servant put it on the table. Instead he slammed on his hat and went down town He wanted to give Mrs. Jobson a les son. He ate an unsatisfactory dinner at a restaurant and then poked around until it was time for a variety theater to open its doors. He had to watch a lot of poorly played billiard games in order to put in this time and to talk with a lot of bachelors, from whose ways of thinking he had departed. He was bored exceedingly by theater time. The show bored him still more, but he stuck it out, for he wanted to get home as late as possible, the better to rub it in on Mrs. Jobson. By 11 o’clock he reflected that he had had a pretty poor sort of an evening—his evening paper unread, his favorite pipe neglected for a lot of cigars that gave him heartburn, a poor dinner, idle talk with a slew of men that he didn’t want to talk to, and finally a tawdry, cheap variety performance that might have got a laugh out o' him ten years before, but was only so much -ribaldry to him now. He took in a couple more billiard games, however, after tho show and threw a couple of cocktails into him self, not because he cared to drink, but because be wanted Mrs. Jobson to smell his breath and thus perceive tho awful consequences of her conduct. Mrs. Jobson was comfortably tucked in bed when Mr. Jobson got home about half an hour after midnight. She had not even left a light burning in the vestibule or in the bedroom. She woke up very leisurely when Mr. Job son started one of the gas jets going She didn't say anything, however. Mr. Jobson had expected to find her up, fully dressed and in tears. He was disappointed. He was more disappoint ed that she didn't greet him with re pininga. Mr. Jobson saw that she was likely to go to sleep again and that he wasn’t causing any grief at all by be ing naughty and keeping still. So he cleared his throat and said: “Did he play the buck dance concerto in Z minor with his hair, and how was it?” There was a lot of sarcasm in the way Mr. Jobson asked this question. Mrs. Jobson didn’t turn over at all. “What are you talking about?” she inquired sleepily. “I want to know if that Dutchman that kept you away from your duty of serving a meal to your husband after his day of grinding labor gave yon your money’s worth; also if yon think you’re making any kind of a hit with anybody by these methods, hey?” “Oh, the recital; that’s what you’re speaking of, isn’t it?” said Mrs. Jobson sweetly “Well, I didn't go. I had in tended to go when I started out shop ping in the morning and left the note for you telling you so, but I thought it might annoy you to have me away from dinner, and so, when I concluded my shopping, about 4 o'clock this after noon, I decided not to go to the recital The Fourteenth street ear that brought me up town passed the car that took you down town. I saw you on the car and wondered why you were going in that direction. I suppose you had to go back to your office to work. It’s shame ful the way they’re overworking yon, you poor old thing,” and then Mrs. Jobson, who knew that Mr. Jobson hadn’t been working at his office, turned over and subsided into dreamy slumber. “You can’t beat ’em,” thought Mr. Jobson when he got into bed. He was thinking of women in general.—Wash ington Star Her Turn. Guests were expected to dinner at little Flossie’s home the other evening, and she was in consequence hustled off to bed and milk and bread an hour ear lier than usual. “Here you grown up folks" she sigh ed as she was laid away, “are going to sit up in your best clothes all evening and eat all those nice things, while I’ve got to go up stairs with nothing to eat but old bread and milk and go to bed early. Nevermind,” after a reflective pause. “After a while I'll grow up, and then I’ll have all the nice things, and you’ll all be dead.” —Kansas City Star A Catflnh In a Fir. Last summer while seining I caught a catfish that was literally starving, with food in his mouth. He had at tempted to swallow a smaller catfish, but its fins had caught in his moutl: and pierced through on both sides Nearly all but the head had been di gested. I think this is going Tantalui one better. —Forest and Stream.

The manager of a life insurance com pany had the floor. “Life insurance companies,” he was t saying, “are as particular about the . people they already have on their lists as they are about getting them on in the beginning. They are rich, of course, • but they are no more anxious to take I in a man who will die of disease within : the first year or two than they are to take in a perfectly healthy man and have him hazard his life by taking per -1 sonal risks in dangerous pursuits or by travel in unhealthy countries. “I remember a funny instance that I occurred once while 1 was living in i New England. One of our SIO,OOO men • had away of calling a man a liar in the most careless and indiscriminate man ner and with only the merest or no provocation. One day lie was in bur 1 office and casually mentioned the fact that he was going to make a trip to Kentucky. “ ‘When?’ inquired the manager 1 alertly. “ ‘Next week.’ “ ‘On business or pleasure?’ “ ‘Going to buy a pair of horses. ’ “ ‘Um—er—er I’ hesitated the man ager. ‘Before you start I wish you would stop in and see me.’ “ ‘What for? Want me to buy a horse for yon ?’ “ ‘No: I want to arrange about your policy.’ 1 “ ‘What do you want to arrange about it? Isn’t it all right?' “ ‘Yes, as long as you stay in this country. Bnt if you go down to Ken ' tucky we’ll have to advance the rate until you come back.' “ ‘Well, what in began the policy holder hotly, when the manager interrupted him. “ ‘Don’t fly the track, my dear fel low, ’ he said gently. ‘lt’s all right here and the rate is satisfactory to us; but, by Jove, we can’t give you the same rate and let you go to Kentucky and call men liars like you do in this sec tion. Not much 1 We haven’t got $lO,- 000 policies to give away like that, and you oughtn't to expect it.’ ’’ —Wash- ington Star. ' AN HONEST ARTIST. He Would Not Paint a Lie Even For a Napoleon. There was no love lost between the Emperor Louis Napoleon and his cousin, Prince Napoleon, whom the Parisians called “Pion Pion.” The prince used to make abusive speeches against the em peror, which people were only too ready to repeat to him. “Let him alone,’ Louis Napoleon would reply. “He is too well known. No one would turn me out to place him on the throne.” The emperor was correct, for no one said a good word about “Pion Pion.” He was commonly believed to have i shown the white feather in the Crimea i and never exposed himself where the lead was falling. An English lady, who in her young days mingled with French society, tells in her “Foreign Courts and Foreign Homes” a story as discred itable to Prince Napoleon as it is hon orable to a French artist. While the artist was painting the historical picture of the battle of the Alma, which the emperor had ordered, Prince Napoleon called at the painter’s studio to make known to him the facts. On leaving he said he wished the prom inent figure in the battle to be himself mounted on his white charger. He sent the horse to the artist so that he could paint its exact portrait. When the pic ture was finished and invitations were sent out for a “private view,” the white charger was seen, a prominent figure in the battle, but without a rider. On hearing of this terrible omission the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask the reason. The honest artist said the horse should remain if the prince wish ed, but no rider would be on it. “Tell the prince I have never yet painted a lie.” The hint was taken. The prince ordered the horse to be rubbed out The nuMlnevs of h Theater. A prosperous theater in the city of New York may in a favorable season do a business of more than $250,000 and keep in employment 150 persons. There are 87 theaters, including the va riety houses, in active operation in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx, while the borough of Brooklyn adds a score or more. Everything which affects business in general affects the theater immediately. A man will reduce his expenditures for tickets to places of amusement long before he thinks of cutting down his supply of cigars, for the cigar belongs to that class of luxuries which subtly become necessaries, while the theater I habit, as any observant manager will tell you, requires constant cultivation The management of a theater is there ■ fore an occupation requiring business > sagacity in a greater degree than it ( calls for artistic taste. —W.

IN A FIKE AT NIGHT. A DRUMMER’S EXPERIENCE IN A BLAZ ING HOTEL. What l!<- Had Planned to Do In Ja.t Snch n < ontlnKency and W hat He Really Did When the Opportunity Ottered Ituelf. “It’s queer not to say a source if chagrin the difference between our in tentions and our performances, isn't it?” saida commercial traveler at one i f the hotels the other night. “I was in the Hotel Baldwin fire in San Francisco and lost everything 1 had along with me, including a thousand and odd dol lars' worth of jewelry and all of my sample cases but one, and I was glad to get out with no life at that. It was the fast hotel fire i i which I had figured. 1 had often m citaliy calculated upon what 1 should >.o in case a hotel in which I was a guest should begin to conflagrate. I was going to be the cool est headed man within a radius of many miles. If the fii ' sfo.nld break out in the middle of the night while I was in bed, 1 intended to get up very ccolly upon being awakened, deliberately slip on enough clothing to keep me out of the hands of the police upon making my appearance, get my money and then I>ick up my most valuable sample case and the valise in which I had packed articles of clothing in current use and walk out, leaving the rest of my gear to take its chance upon the fire being squelched. On my way through the cor ridors, in case I met up with any beau tiful, supplicating maidens or any aged, incapable women, I had it all pic tured bow I would drop my two grips and take them down the seething stair case, one on each arm, presenting a heroic and inspiring spectacle as I emerged from the caldron of flame. “Well, what happened? Luckily for me, I had a third story front room in the Baldwin. The fire broke out in the basement along toward 8 o’clock in the morning I snored luxuriously until about a dozen engines were throwing streams on the lower portion of the structure. When I was in the middle of a dream that I was standing in front of a lot of big stores on a great business thoroughfare, throwing croquet balls through huge plate glass windows—it was the smashing glass down below that got me into that strain of dream ing—l woke up. The glare in my room was something luminous. Did I slowly stretch, say to myself, ‘Here’s that long waited for fire, and it’s up to me to be the man of the hour and the real thing?’ “Not much did 1! I just hopped up like a man who finds a family of centi peds in his bed. I grabbed a pair of rubbers that were lying alongside my bed and put them on the wrong feet, giving all the time during the perform ance a realistic exhibition of a rnan undergoing a swamp chill. Then I snatched a mackintosh that I had thrown over my trunk on coming in the night before and folded it after consid erable difficulty, owing to my chill tremblings, over my pyjamas. Then I reached for a bat, and of course it was about my luck to get the worst hat I owned out of half a dozen scattered over the room. Then I made for the door. I want you to understand that I made for the door in a hurry too. “On my way to the door I stumbled over one of my sample cases and kicked it over in front of the door. I had to pick it up in order to open the door, and so I hung on to it and took it along with me. I afterward found it to be the least consequential sample case I had, one that I could very easily have dispensed with compared with those that 1 lost Jewelry? Money? Duds? I wasn’t thinking any more of them when I frantically unlocked and un barred that door of mine than I was of taking a balloon before breakfast in the morning and starting for the north pole. I just wanted to get out, that's all. The halls were filled with smoke, I found, but after ten years of stopping annual ly at the Baldwin, generally in the same room, I knew the stairways and the route down to the lobby pretty Well, and I just put my free hand over my mouth and nose and made the rush. “D'ye suppose that if I had met 40 of the most beautiful maidens on the globe—supplicating, imploring maidens —standing there confused in that third floor hallway I'd have picked ’em up one in each arm and, permitting them to gently nestle up against my mackin tosh, have carried them triumphantly down the stairs and out into the street and under the broad arch of heaven and all that? No, 1 wouldn't have. It’s grievous and grewsome to have to con fess it, but I’d just have yelled at them to follow my route and then have kept on getting over territory myself. I fell down the first flight of stairs, from top to bottom, then picked myself up with the one idea of getting out, scampered to the head of the second flight of stairs and fell down those. I lit on the flag ging of the lobby, and in two more sec onds I was in the street. When, a few minutes later, I reflected upon my loss and the general hamlike character of { my conduct, did 1 want to go back and i get my things and do the whole thing over again right and in accordance with my preconceived intentions in case of a hotel fire? Nope. 1 was content to stand there in the street and figure how I’d perform the next time I got similarly caught.”—Washington Star.
