"Gentlemen," begun the fat man as
lie finished reading liiu letter and put
it away in his pocket. "1 hold thut it is
almost a husband's duty to lie to his
wife more or less, but I started out by
telling a lie which seems bound to fol
low nie to my grave and hung over my
-tombstone after death. My cusc ought
to be a warning to all men who con
template marriage and lying."
"You see," he continued, when mo
tioned to go ahead with his story, "I
was only 14 years old when the civil
war closed. Ten yrars later 1 fell in
Jove and got married. While I was
courting 1 discovered that the girl had
great admiration for the men who
had fought and bled for the union, and
in a thoughtless moment I claiifted to
have seen two years' service in the
army. I was also ass enough to men
tion that I had been wounded in the
leg. Also, that I went in at. a private
and came out as a captain,. I thought
1 might as well go the whole hog while
I was about it, you know. 1 was a hero
In the girl's eyes at once, and she
hadn't called me 'captain' over a dozen
times before we got engaged."
'"By George! liy George!" whispered
the bald-headed man as he slapped his
leg.
"What's the matter with you?"
"It is the curious coincidence. I start
ed out that very way!"
"Well, after I had nomed my regi
ment and all that I couldn't go back on
my story, of course," resumed the fat
man. "I had to go at it and read war
history and post myself. The girl told
everybody I had been a hero, and even
before we were married I had beon
(forced to lie to about a hundred dif
ferent people. When we were wedded
"I can realize the position, for I have
been there been there!" groaned the
man with the lop-shoulder. "I injured
this shoulder by falling from a tree, but
my wife thinks it was hit by a bomb
shell, and she has made my life miser
able for a quarter of a century!"
"I'm glad to hear these things," ob
served the fat man as he looked about
with more heart, "for I siipposed I was
suffering alone. I had to stop that po
litical move, of course, and it took some
of the most gigantic lying the human
tongue is capuble of. For a day or two
I thought I'd have to commit suicide
to get out of it. The party finally put
up another candidate, but my 'unheurd
of modesty,' as the papers put it,
brought me more trouble. They wunt-
ed to publish my army record, and I was
harassed and hounded until I packed
my grip and went off to the woods for
a month. While I was gone my wife
tried to find my papers, and she actual
ly sent two old mortgages and a bill of
sule to one of the newspapers to dig
facts out of! Gentlemen, excuse this
perspiration, but it will flow!"
"I've got it, too!" replied the bald
headed man.
"And I!" added added the lap-shouldered
mun.
"One of the times I wanted to mur
der my wife," continued the fat man
after he had recovered, "was when she
arranged for me to deliver a war talk
for the benefit of orphans of veterans.
Yes, sir, she had it ull fixed before she
let on to me, and one of the Incidents of
the 'talk' was to exhibit the wound on
my leg and describe the sensations of
being hit in battle! I had the old scar
of a burn on my right leg and had al
ways passed it off on my wife os a bat-

NEVER COULD TELL WHEN I MIGHT MAKE A SLIP.
the papers referred to me as 'the battle
carred Capt. Blank,' and the first
thing that came around wasnn invita
. tion to join a grand army post. I'll
bet I have told a million lies to keep
out of that trap, and if I live five years
longer I'll have to tell a million more.
To join a post, or, rather, to fill out an
application, would expose me at once."
"Lord! Lord! But how very, very
queer!" whispered the man with the big
Watch chain.
"Is it another curious coincidence'.'"
frimly asked the fut man.
"It is, sir it Is! Yes, 1 have been ly
ing ubout the very sume thing for the
last 30 years!"
"I tried to call a halt on my dear lit
tle wife," said the fut man in a voice
of sorrow, "but she wouldn't huve it.
She just wunted ull the world to know
that I was a wounded hero and de
serving of public recognition, and she
insisted that everybody call me 'cup
tain.' I couldn't move out of my own
jjnte without bumping up against It
genuine old soldier, and I couldn't walk
two blocks with one of 'em without his
asking:
" 'Let's see, captain? What regiment
were you in?'
" 'The Seventh'
"'Oh, yes. And what battles were
you in?'
" 'Bull Run, Antietani, Fredericks
burg, Chancellorsville, eGttysburg and
the Wilderness.'
" 'And you were wounded?' "
" 'In the leg.'
"I'd read up on the war, and particu
larly on the record of the Seventh," ex-
t plained the fat man, "but I never could
tell when I might miike a slip. When a
fellow got after me I had to blurt" him
off by telling new lies, and if any of
you folks think that I enjoyed it, you
f are greatly mistaken. When I have had
to sit down with five or six old vets at
the club, I've had my hair on end for a
lull hour at a time."
"Is it possible is it posslble?"gasped
the lop-shouldered mun as he mopped
his brow with his newspnper.
"Suy, maybe you are one of us?"
asked the fat man.
"Yes just so. Yes, I have also lied
about my war record, but I supposed I
, was all alone in it."
"I used to tell my wife that I had no
army record to boast of, and that thou
sands of others were more entitled to
praise andjUdmiration, but you know
how wives are about a husband's repu
tation. She kept piling it on, and she
kept making mutters worse for me. It
was through her talk more than any
thing else that our party in the Fifth
ward finally decided to nominate me
for aldermunic honors. They knew I
was a modest and retiring man, and
they kept the thing quiet until ready to
nominate. The first I knew was when
that wife of mine proudly lnid the
morning paper before me. The Item
was of course headed: 'Honor to a
Wounded Vetei mi,' and it went on to
aay that I had lost gallons and gallons
of blood in putting down the rebellion,
and thut full particulars of my gallant
record would soon be published as a
contrast to the stny-nt-home record of
th opposing candidate." f
"By George!" whispered the, bald
headed niau as the sweat started on his
bln.
"You don't say?" hoarsely exclaimed

tie wound. When I heard what she
hnd done I almost fainted away, and
the only way I could get out of it was to
full dangerously ill. It was lucky for
me thut I didn't show up. There were
250 veterans present at that meeting.
My illness hud just permitted nie to get
out doors when I met an old soldier,
who said:
" 'Suy, captain, I wish that galoot

the Seventh was at Antietam and
Chancellorsville. He's a plumb liar
about thut, and there was no captain of
company 1) who rose from the ranks.
If we get hold of him we'll make him
own up that he's a liur and a duffer!' "
"That's my ease, gentlemen," said the
fat man as he held out his hands in a
helpless way. "I began by lying, and
I'm still obliged to keep it up. 1 shall
have to lie myself into the grave. I must
lie to my wife, my children, my nieces,
nephews and grandchildren. I mutt
lie to all my friends outside. If it
hadn't been for the war with Spain

! VEIN OF HUMOR f
IT WAS A PICKIC.
First came a farmer's wagon with
one man driving and two others lying
on the straw at full length. Then there
was a man on foot with bis right arm
in a sling, a second pedestrian limping
badly, and another wagon with three
men on the straw. These hud passed
when a bare-headed woman hove in
sight. She was walking rapidly and
looking neither to the right nor to the
left, and was followed ut a little dis
tuuee by a man with u double-barreled
shotgun over his shoulder. He hud one
hand tied up in a handkerchief, and the
blood stains showed that he hud been
hurt. The colonel descended the steps
of the hot si verundu and held up his
hand to the man and said:
"My friend, there seems to have been
trouble somewhere down the road."
"Yes, a little scrimmage over at Gor
don's Grove," answered the man.
"You seem to have been hurt?"
"Yes, got shot in the hand, though it
didn't amount to much. Here you,
Murinr!"
"Muriur" was the woman ahead of
him, evidently his wife, but she con
tinued her pace without looking buck.
"What was it at Gordon's Grove?"
asked the colonel.
"Oh, jest a Sunday school picnic. We
have one there every year, you know."
"And there was a scrimmage, us you
call it?"
"There wus. Had to be one, sah.
Never hud no Sunday school picnic yet
without a scrimmage. Yes, sail, had a
right smart scrimmage."
"Anil there was shooting?"
"Fur suah. Can't huve no scrimmage
without shootin'. Yes, sah, there was
shootin' heaps of it."
"Lord! Lord! You hnd a Sunday
school picnic and shot at each other!"
gasped the colonel. "Some one must
have been killed."
"Of co'se."
"And I have soen four or five wound
ed men pass here."
"Keekon you have, sah. Joe Bailey
and Jim White and Henry Davis uud
Tom Tool all left lafo' I did."
"And how many were killed?"
"Didn't count 'em, sail. When I got
a bullet in my hand Muriar reckoned
it as time to go home, and so we start
ed." "But I can't understand it, man I
can't understand it," continued the
colonel, as he threw up his hands. "You
assemble for n Sunday school picnic.
You begin to shoot. You you "
"It's jest ns easy ns rubbin' coon's
fat on a sore heel," interrupted the
mun, us a smile lighted his fuce. "We
assemble for a Sunday school picnic.
Did man Aaron Sykes was there; young
I'ete Hendricks was there. They glared
at each other and culled names. Then
they began shootin'. Then Aaron's
friends mixed in, and Pete's friends
mixed in, nnd everybody hud a high old
tie. Some got killed, some got hurt,
and some got nway, and there you ure.
Can't be no trouble to understand
that."
"But it was a Sunday school picnic!"
shouted the colonel.
"Of co'se. Don't reckon a can do all

"The Xew York nnd Chicago cab-
drivers ought to take a few lessons
from the French, and particularly the
Parisians," observed the Cincinnati
womiin who hud just returned from Ku
rope. "I hud been shopping and took
a fiacre to return to the hotel. We hud
scarcely gotten under way when we
knocked down a pedestriun und I pulled
the strap und said to the driver:
" 'Did you not see that you ran over
anian'."
" "Very plainly, madume,' he replied,
'but he should not huve been in my
way.'
"Five minutes later a hind wheel
came off, and 1 pulled the strap and
asked:
" 'Why don't you stop? Can't you see
tht you have lost a wheel?'
' '1 see, madume,' he replied, 'but we
have three wheels left.'
"We went scraping along for a few
minutes," said the lady, "and then the
other wheel came off. 1 thought the
man would stop then, but as he didn't
I pulled the strap and said:
" 'We huve lost both hind wheels.'
"'Ah! yes, inndume,' he answered,
with a smile; 'but we huve not lost
four!'
And he whipped up his horses and
dragged along for a quarter of a mile
and brought me up tu the hotel with a
great flourish. When I got out I asked
him what he would have done if the
other two wheels hud parted company,
and he waved his hand towards them
und shrugged his shoulders and re
plied: " 'It is impossible, mndame. I never
lost but two wheels in carrying a beau
tiful lady!'"

AN EXCELLENT CAKE.
It Is Called the Gold Loaf and Has
Few Equals as a Dainty
Summer Delicacy.
This is a moist, delicate cuke, and is
made with sour milk, which tenders it
very tender. At this season of the yeor,
when milk is beginning to sour easily,
it is well to have a variety of ways in
which to use it. If it is left long, as
everyone knows, it will become unfit
for use, except for swill. To make this
cake mix two cups of sugar and one cup
of butter. Stir in the yolks of four
eggs, and beat well. Add a cupful of
sour milk milk thut is turned to a solid
curd, with a good proportion of whey.
Milk thut is just turned, or very sour
but not firm, should not be used. Stir
the mixture thoroughly. In unother
cake bowl sift four cupfuis of pastry
flour (bread flour will do, however) and
an even tenspoonful of soda. It is bet
ter for cuke to sift the flour and soda
together several times. Stir the other
ingredients gradually into the flour
and soda, being careful to avoid having
lumps in the butter. When well beaten,
add the whites of the four eggs of which
the yolks have ulready been used. The
whites should be beaten to a very stiff
froth before they are put into the bat
ter. This cuke is delicious, even with
out raisins or citron. It makes a hai.d
sonie, rich cuke, however, for a birth
day party if thin slices of citron
enough to suit the taste und about a
cupful of ruisins are added. The raisins
should be washed, stoned and dipped ui
flour before stirring them into the but
ter. Flouring them lightly prevents
sinking to the bottom of the cake. Turn
the dough into a very large, round loaf
tin, or two smaller ones, well greased.
Bake this cuke in n moderate oven for
about 40 minutes, being careful not to
let it fall by carelessly opening the
oven door too wide, or jamming it in
any way. It is very nice when made
Into small cup cakes, leaving out the

For Stout Women.
It has often been urged, but it seems
well to emphasize by much repetition
that women of generous proportions
hould invariably renounce all of these
round wnisted styles, no matter how
beautiful they appear on some other
slenderer figure, or how universally the
rage for them increases. Adopting
these waists is not a mutter of age,
for the young, the muture und the
elderly find them comfortable und use
ful. It is simply a mutter of figure,
and, for women inclined to stoutness,
there are many close, trim and ottruc
tive models which make them look bet
ter nnd slenderer than any of the
"round" styles, festooned with net,
draped with lace, and finished with
circling ribbon, bells and bows, which
cut off the apparent length of the waist
by two or three inches. X. Y. Post.

AMERICA FOR BOYS.
New York Woman tilves Some Ex
cellent Hrnsoiia for Not Educat
ing Her Sou In Europe.
"I have come home solely on account
of my boy," said a Xew York widow of
moderate means, who to the ustonish
inent of her friends suddenly reap
peared in America uftcr a prolonged
residence in Europe.
"As fur as I am concerned, I am much
more comfortable abroad, where my
little income goes twice as fur and life
is much easier. The girls, too, 1 can ed
ucate cheaper and better on the other
side, but there is no doubt about it,
American boys should be educated at
home in ortW to be succesful men in
their own vV.ji.try. I have watched the
results .(-.;ite closely, and in nine cases
out 'i .en it is like fitting a square
patio to a round hole when they come
home nnd go to work. For young men
of property who intend living t. life of
leisure it is ull well enough, but for
those w ho have their own way to make
it is, in my opinion, a fatal mistake to
educate them there. 1 hey lose the
power of assimilinting themselves, so to
speak, and, what is more, they form no
early friendships with their own conn
trynien. So, after thinking it over, I
made up my mind that my boy's future
was worth a sacrifice, and here I am,
although it means me skimping and
striving in Xew York, when I might be
living in ease und plenty on the conti
nent. "I shall send my boy to a good board
