THEY QUARRELED.

Bard to Please. <
A Sian Francisco man had been In bed for
metal months with a malady that made
him very nervous and irritable. His wife
and daughter ministered to him assidu
ously, but were sometimes at their wits’
end in trying to satisfy his capricious d€=
sires. As the young lady said once, her
father was “so unreasonable that he would
scold if an angel were waiting on him.”
One night when the mother and daughter
were both thoroughly tired'out a young
man, a friend of the family, was called In
to watch with the sick man for six hours
after midnight. The invalid’s wife in
structed him about the medicines and es
pecially cautioned him to be careful about
disturbing the patient.
“He is very irritable.” she said. “Don’t
speak to him except when he speaks to you,
and if he is asleep when the time'comes for
him to take his medicine don’t disturb
him.”
V And by the way,” she added as she was
about leaving the room, “you may like
something to read. Here is Mark Twain’s
‘Houghing It’ It "ill amuse you, but you
mustn’t laugh while reading it, for Mr.
J will fancy yon are laughing at him
and will be very much annoyed.”
The yonng man performed his duties to
the best of his ability, but on going away
in the morning was thanked rather curtly
by the invalid. As soon as he was gone
Mr. J broke out:
“See here, mother,” said he, “don’t ever
send that numskull to watch with me
again.”
“Why, father, what do you mean?
Wasn’t he attentive? He didn’t go to sleep,
did he?”
"No, no, no. But I was awake for two
hours, and I -watched him reading Mark
Twain’s book all that time, and”
"But, father,” interposed Mrs. J , “I
gave him that book to occupy his time.

“Oh, yes, yes. That’s all right, but that
fool sat there for two hours reading that
book and never smiled once.”—San Fran

The room was in great eon fusion, and as
her dearest friend came in she looked up
sending back all his letters and presents.”
“I think,” said her friend cynteally,
“that I bare heard something of the kind
before."
“Well, it’s for good this time, for I’m only
sending back part of his presents."
“Oh, then yon are really in earnest—do
you remember the time yon were afraid he
would not bring back the diamond pin in
time for Milly’s reception?”
“Indeed I do, but it came two full hours
before I needed it. and with the lorelimt
bunch of orchids. He always sent me or
chids after a quarrel.” she added, with a
sigh.
“But you aren't going to send back that
lovely bracelet, are you?"
“Indeed 1 nm; it’s awfully out of style.
Besides,” she added vindictively, “I’ve
worn it so long that every girl in our set
knows it, and he can never offer it to the

“Well, she wouldn’t send back his lovely
diamond ring wheu they quarreled for fear
he would give it to Helen. And don’t you
think, she waited until the very day of the
wedding and sent It with her congratula
tions. He was just starting for the church
when the messenger came. His trunk bad
gone, so he just slipped the ring into his
vest pocket."
“You don’t mean”
“Yes, I do. He had given the wedding
ring to his best man, hut in the excitement
of the moment he didn’t see him holding it
out to him and took the oue out of his
pocket.”
“And what happened then?”
“Oh, nothing, only Helen had often seen
Jessie wearing it. and Will had always de
nied that he was ever engaged to her.”
“Humph! I bad always wondered why he
bought Helen that lovely diamond star
while they were on their wedding trip."
“That was why. Well, are you through
packing?”
“Yes, and the messenger boy is waiting.
I must get them off at ouce, or I’ll change
my mind about letting that lovely silver
belt buckle go."

“Of eourne.” said Mr. Brown, a real estate

wanted to hire some clubrooms, but it voted

“What was the trouble?” asked a listener.
“There’s no elevator in the building, and
the members wouldn’t climb the stairs.”
“What did you say the name of the society
