Preliminary
Talk
It certainly la going to boa beauti
ful day/’ murmured Dalbeck, when
the sun, ahlnlng In hia faoe, awaken*
fd him Sunday morning.
**Why don’t you go on out to the
gtf olub, thenT" Inquired Mra. Dal*
“Oh, no—l don’t want to do that!” ,
“Why uSotr
“Do you want me to goT” Inquired
Dalbeck, In aooenta of deep reproach. I
“When Sunday la the only day of the
ftak that 1 can apend with my family,
II la pretty hard llnea to find you try*
S| f to get rid of me!’’
“Now, James I” aald Mra. Dalbeck,
proteatlngly. “The Idea that you ahould
think auoh a thing for a minute! Tou
fcnow I’d rather hare you at home than
gpywhere elae on earth!”
“Then of oourae I won’t go,’’ Dalbeck
gald with a skillfully revealed algh.
4Not If you don’t want me to. I be*
Sere lt*a a man'a duty to do aa hla
aft wants, even at the ooat of hla
personal Inclinations, and of course I’d
rather stay at home with you—
“ Why, It would a poll my whole day!”
Interrupted Mrs. Dalbeck, ’if you gave
up a beautiful time In the country juat
because you thought I was selfish
enough to make you stay at home! I
want you to go!”
“Henrietta,” aald Dalbeck, “do you
suppose for one Instant that you can
deceive me? I know perfectly well
that you are holding your disappoint
ment at the idea of a lonely day and
are urging me to go merely out of the
unselfishness of your nature. I'm not
Bolng to take advantage of It. Any
how, I really don't care about playing
golf today. I hadn’t even thought of
It until you gpoke, and you aee I
didn’t Jump at the Idea then. I’d lota
father stay at home.’’
“Nonsense,’’ said Mrs. Dalbeck. “If
you stayed at hope this beautiful day
my conscience would reproach me,
lames. We may not have any more
alce<Bugdays this .o*ll, and It will do
rou- good to get outdoors. I am per
fectly willing for you to go, because
1 know you need the. exercise. A man
>f your age doesn’t exercise nearly
•nough, and—•”
“Oh, so you are dissatisfied with my
Bgure, are you?” inquired her husband
In tones of deepest reproach. “I know
I’m not an Apollo, but I didn’t think—”
“James!” cried Mrs. Dalbeck. “You
ire perfectly stupid. I was Just trying
to make excuses for you to go—’’
“Aha!” said her husband. "Your
words plainly show that you honestly
lon’t feel that I should go! Your real
opinion Is that a man is a dub who
doesn't pass Sunday with his family,
ind I agree with you. Where should
we find more happiness and pleasure
:han by the family hearthstone, any
how. I’d lots rather—”
“I know you would,’’ said his wife,
’but you must consider your health,
lames. It Is your duty to do so. Please
oblige me by doing as I ask and go
ing out to the club!”
“I haven't the least desire to go,”
protested Dalbeck. “Somehow I don’t
feel up to It. It may rain, anyhow—”
“The sun never shone brighter,” In
terrupted Mrs. Dalbeck. “Please,
lames!”
Dalbeck looked harassed and then
resigned. “I don’t see why you make
•uch a fuss about It,” he mourned.
‘And there Isn’t time to catch the
golf special now, anyhow. If I did
want to go!”
“Yee there la,” Insisted his wife.
’Here are all your clothes ready to
lump Into, and ITI bring you up some
:offee while you are dressing. That
:lock is five minutes fast, and If you
hurry—here are your shoes and —”
“You don’t give a fellow time to
think,” Dalbeck grumbled. “You are
rushing me off at such a rate that I
lon’t get a chance to say a word. It
loean’t seem to make any difference
lo you whether I want to go or not,
lust so you get your own way. I —”
“Here’s your cap,” said Mrs. Dal
beck. as she opened the Inside door,
’and If you hurry you can Just make
the train!”
She watched Dalbeck leap and van
ish around the corner, and then she
smiled to herself. “I suppose he has to
go through all that formula every time
to ease hla conscience,” she said.
“Hello,” Dalbeck was saying on the
station platform to three other men
In golf attire. ”1 came near missing
the train this morning, I tell you—l got
so Interested making my objections to
going as artistic aa possible. But they
worked beautifully.”
Very Convenient.
An enterprising builder was one day
In conversation with several friends,
when he was accused of using inferior
materials In the construction of
houses which he had recently built.
A hot argument ensued. In the
midst ,of which a gentleman arrived
who lirsd la out of tbs Jerry-built

to him.
"Weel. elre.” said he. "I eaa assure 1
ye they are the malst convenient
hoeses I ever abode In."
"But." said on# of the listeners,
"why convenient dee ye say?"
“Oh, haud yer wheeet till I explain.

Law.
A law student la not entitled to a
diploma until he oan properly pro
nounoe the word "law." It la Impor
tant. It la parhapo the most Impor
tant of all, vastly more so then a
knowledge of Blaekstone.
It la Impossible to write or print the
word “law" aa a good lawyer pro
uouncas It. Type as large as a news
paper headline, Italicised and triply
underscored, might approximate the
required Importance, but It oould give
no fair Idee of the loving reverence,
the respectful obeetenoe, the authori
tative awfulnees. the thunderbolt final
ity and the unctuous resonance with
which all good lawyers scatter this
word about a courtroom.
"Booh and auoh la the L—a—w," ha
announces atentorlously, perhaps hold
ing up a calf-bound book or shaking a
belligerent fiat aa If ready to stand
upon the law aad fight the world, the
flesh and the devil The mere fact that
opposing counsel two minutes later
proves that snob and sueh la not the
law and never wae the law. abates not
one lot hie enthusiasm for the word.
In an instant or two ho la at It again
crowding as mueh mighty majesty
Into these three letters aa vocal oordx
can fashion.
Entirely Different.
"(letting around the world these
days la a comparatively easy matter,
Mr. Tubbit."
"Oh, yea. Much easier, I dare say,
then getting arovnd mr wife.*
