"He seems to be a very nice sort of a man," remarked Mrs. Merriwid's maternal maiden aunt Jane, "and as the wife of an army officer you would have a certaln social position, you know. I'm not sure that I dislike the idea, Melissa." "I supposee it's worth considering," said Mrs. Merriwid, reflectively. "He looks very well in his uniform, too, especially the full dress one. At the same time, sweetheart, I might get a colonel on the governor's staff, if I gave my mind to it, and have some thing that was sure enough prismatic with ostrich feathers thrown in and none of the disadvantages of the mil itary creer. And a governor's col onel or a Uniform Rank Potentate of Pocatello can be a bank president or a successful soap manufacturer in pri vate life, which also gives a certain social position and allows one to keep a hired girl and some shreds of rep utation." "I don't think I quite understand that last allusion, my dear," said Aunt Jane '"That's because you had that attack of neuralgia and couldn't go to the Post with me," explained Mrs. Merri wid. "Tou see, dearie, wp of the army are one big family and we know one another and our little failings only too well. When one of us army women meets another army woman. the two of us discuss the carryings on of the rest of us with family free dom. That's one of the disadvan tages of army life. Of course the army men know each other well, too, but being men, they are naturally charitable and even generous to each other. It one is promoted, the others are all tickled to pieces about It and admit that he richly deserved It. If you speak of any offcer who is sup posed to have distinguished himself in any way, the chorus of admiration that arises from his brbther officers would warm the cockles of your heart -especially if the distinguished one happens to be a volunteer who never saw the inside of West Point. Yes, r~ / r 4 "'He Looks Very Well In His Uniform. Too." some of us may be at Fort Sill and others at Fort Sheridan and some at Washington and some at Minandao. but we are all one big family." "Of course human nature is human nature anywhere," said Aunt Jane. "But I think it's a little more so in the army," opined Mrs. Merriwid; "sort of concentrated and narrowed down. Of course it's a gay life with its bugles and its colors flying and its marching and countermarching. It's perfectly lovely to see a thousand legs with but a single movement for ming into hollow squares and columns and things when their gallant leader says, 'Hunh!' and 'Harrunph!' I wonder if Captain Manlicker would do any hunhing and harrunphing around the house?" "It's unlikely, I should say," ob served Aunt Jane." 'Td show him some entirely new evolutions if he did," declared Mrs. Merriwid. "I would begin with some thing in the nature of a frontal attack with a flank movement supported by dynamite; but some of the very pig eonest breasted, turkey cockiest har runphers in the army take off their boots and spurs in the halls and crawl upstairs in their stocking feet he n they arrive home after hours. I'm told so, at least. It's one thing to op pose martial tramping squadrons and embattled hosts and another to face a justly indignant woman at two o'clock in the morning with a breath of something more than suspicion." "After all, they are our nation's de fenders," urged Aunt Jane. '"True, dearie," assented Mrs. Merri wid. "There's the glory part of it to consider. It would certainly be grand to have a hero husband idolized by his grateful countrymen. The only irawback to that sort of thing is hat as soon as the grateful country men run out of bouquets, they in stinctively turn to the nearest pile of bricks. They've got to be throw ing something. And then, you may only get a part of your hero-husband back. If I truly loved Captain Man licker, it would be a great shock to me to find only about thirty-three and a-third per cent. of him left after the cruel war was over. I don't say I wouldn't be proud of his remnants, but I should always feel there was something wantlng even if it were merely a leg. "Another thing a prudent person will duly ponder before marrying into the army is the danger of our is land possessions," continued Mrs. Mer riwi4, thoughtfully. "There's always a chance that her hero may be sent to the Philippines and come back with a deranged liver. I don't care how bronzed and bearded and interesting he may look or how many honorable scars and medals of honor he's got, it his liver doesn't work the way It ought, a cloud of bilious gloom will descend upon the home and be lifted nevermore Still that's only a risk. The real obstacles to my union with the gallant captain are unavoidable." "What are they?" inquired Aunt Jane. "In the first place, I'd have to ac custom myself to riding in an ambu lance," replied Mrs. Merrlwid. "But that wouldn't be so bad as having to put up with a femme de chambre with a red mustache who chewed to bacco and drank whisky and was or iginally engaged for plain, manly butchery. That would certainly jar me," concluded Mrs. Merriwid. (Copyright. IS, by W. G. Chapman.) RED KITTEN WHOLE SHOW Its Peculiar Shading Attracted Atter tioe at a Recent Exhibition at London, England. "Have you seen the red kitten?" was the question every other person was asking at the show of the Nation al Cat club at the Crystal Palace. The red kitten, which belongs to Mrs. H. Cook, and was Judged the beat cat in the show, may be described as the ideal cat at which the fanciers have been aiming for years. Louis Wain, who was judging, has sever seen its equal. Its redness is not marred by one speck or suspicion of white. Its eyes are alternate circles of light red and dark red, just as its coat is alternate streaks of the two shades. "Never before at any show," said Mr. Wain, "have we seen such a per fection of shading as a number of the cats exhibit. So delicate are they that they can only be judged by pure day light." The cult of the cat is growing. Never have exhibitors gone to such extremes in tricks of exhibition. One sent along with the cat a tadpole in a bottle, because the curious object ex cited the cat's attention and inspired that spry air which is supposed to ar rest the judge's attention.-Lon~b Mail.

"Then why is he trying to get a dl' vorce?" "Oh, I see you do not understand. He's trying to get a divorce for an other man. He's a divorce lawyer, yeu know." Indeed, No. Yeast-I understand that twenty four separate operations enter into the construction of a watch.
