| A Meteorological Paradox
[Original]
I once know a quartet composed of |
the funniest people you ever saw
your life. They weren't four uieu or I
four women nor two men and two wo- 1
men, but three men and a woman..
Each of the dree men was funnier I
than the other two. and tne woman |
was funnier than the three men to
gether. Vou should have seen her.
One eye was turned up at an an,? lo of
twenty-live degrees, the o her down at
an angle of thirty Shecou id look serious
and sympathetic out of the one eye
and hysterically diabolical out of the
other. She had a ravenlsh croak and a
sweet meltxAy in her voice, so that no
one could tell wl other sh;> meant to be
pleasant or disagreeable. Sometimes
she would sav pleasant things to you
looking at you with her sympathetic
ejviu d sometimes say di:. iolical things
looking at you with her sympathetic I
eye. So nobody ever km w what she |
was driving at.
The tirst of the three . :eu was Mr.
Bantam, husband of the ; hove describ
ed lady. Kverybody sa.d the name |
was vety appropriate, for Mr. Itantam's
fore wore !he perpetual grin of a ban
tam roister. Next came Mr. Guyer. a
thooretii al mathematical 'rodicy. I.ike I
Mr Isa.-c Newton, who made a large j
and a small hole in his door for his
big and little eat to come through,
i-uyer lidn't stoop to consider petty
c-i'itri\ i.nees. lie once had an alarm
clock which failed to wake him up in
the morning. Somebody finally called
hi- attrition to the fact that it hadn't
any bel'. The third man was Mr. M-r
ryweather. a "real noble, good man.'
as one of his women friends express
ed it. Indeed, he was so good aiul no- 1
Me that he couldn't conceive of ::
one bel 'g wicked. And thereby himgsj
this tal?.
One Sunday Morning Merry weather |

Merryweatlier was sure he hail the |
fever of pneuai >:iia. A sympathetic,
curve appeared mi the I? ft liaml eoruei
of Mrs. Bantam's mouth as she
marked that It came on that way.
Merryweatlier was helped Into the |
house and placed on a lounge. Occa
sionally lie would resume a normal |
bodily temperature, but whenever In
did s*, one of his three friends would 1
show him a thermometer antipodal to
his condition. If the mercury stood
low when lie was hot he thought lie
was in fever. If it stood high when he j
was cool he assumed that In* had a I
chill. In this way his loving friends
kept working on his imagination and j
through Ills imagination on his body
till lit* got up and went home to die.
Once out of the way of the malign in
fluence that leiil tormented him. he was
surprised at f. sudden recovery.
Now. the explanation of this me
teorological paradox is this: Bantam
before bringing the thermometer out j
jji to the veranda to settle t!io dispute
between Merry weather anil Oliver had
belli the bulb in his list. When he |
took it Inside lie gave it to Mrs. Ban
tam with Instructions to put it In the]
ice chest. And so the thermometer
was kept oscillating bet een heat and
cold while Mr. Mem-weather was os
cillating between cold and heat t11( j
he was thrown into a condition of
laaaginary pneumonia.

j What She Taught Him
[ 4 i'i
[Original ]
Captain Gerald Donovan of the ? t'.i
iTnlted States artillery took the ground
that all girls were unreliable in mat
ters of lore and a man should deal i
with them according to their o?i: !
methods. Douovau was stationed nt j
Fort Monroe, where he studied iu i
the artillery school by day and flirted j
svith the girls at the hotels during th.i j
iveniug.
Among other girls he saw a great j
ileal of Lorella Bertrand. the daugli- \
ter of a retired army officer living l i
Washington. Miss Bertrand was quit ?
young and very unsophisticated. Cap
tain Donovan was the first grown ma i ;
who had ever been especially attentiv >
to her, and her poor little head was !
soon turned. lie was her constant at- j
tendant at dress parade In the after
noon and in the evening was always :
seen sitting in one of the luxurious j
chairs opposite her at the hotel where !
she was staying with her parents.
Then one day came Miss Olcott. t j
New York belle, and whisked most <. <' ;
the young officers of the fort in Ik - j
following, as a train of cars will drav.
papers on the track Hying in the air
after It. Captain Donovan at once bi
cnuie the favorite, and he made id
more of transferring his attention t
from Miss Bertrand to Miss Olco't
than of changing his uniform of klia! i
to full dress. I'oor Miss Bertraml met
her first attention and her first dose ?
tion very near together, but if the la -
ter troubled her she did not show 1..
Outwardly at least she accepted tl.e
situation, and. as she was just grow
ing iuto attractiveness, she found no
difficulty in tilling up her tiuie with
other officers.
I'rom Fort Monroe Oapt.iin Don
ovan was ordereil to the I 'aC tic coast.
He remained there three vtars. when
he was transferred to the war depart
ment at Washington. On t'le evening
of his arrival at a reevptioii of the sec
retary of war he met Mis> Bertrand.
Three years had tilled out her figure
and stamiied beauty on her face. She
was the same retiring, gen Me creature
that she had been when Donovan had
first met her, and when h.' approached
and spoke to her. after a slight appar
ent embarrassment, she received lii::i
not unkindly. As Donov: n surveyed
her critically from *iead tu foot he re !
gretted that he had not t:i!. "i her whe:i
she was ready to fall luto his net

pa ssei 1 some time in tho Philippim s
when they were both sub;;lter' -? Tli'
sat down together at a table for r -

"Oh. slie wouldn't hurt ntiy one's fee
inirs for the world," said Price. "She ? j
a lovely girl and has recently inhcrite 1
a fortune from her grandmother."
The two officers parted with expre ?

lie had scarcely entered wlter. a
wedding march came rolling out from
the organ. Who should Donovan see
proceeding as the groom down a side
aisle hut his friend Major Price. A.-:
founded, lie turned to the correspond
lug aisle opposite, auil iiis wonder was
tenfold at seeing in the bride the lady
he had come to meet. Miss BertratM
Douovan was entering a pew at the
moment and caught at its back to
steady himself. In a twinkling he saw
himself from being about to lie lifted
into heaven cast down into hell, lie
stood during the wedding service sup
porting himself on the back of the pew
li front of lii in. and w'leu the bride
i ml groom walked out through the
?enter aisle, passing w't'iin a few feet
if him. he stared at I hi bride like a
?ondemueil man at his executioner
.Sot she mercifully kept !ier eyes to ilie
??rou!.
Captain Douovan wert to his rooms
i sadder and a wiser ?nan. lie had
lirted with ivomeii who had vented
tpon him the wrath of :> woman scorn
?d. Their treatment had only t'aticrcd
lis vanity. Providence had sent the
jentle Miss Bertram! to teach him
hat no pain indicted on the body can
I 'una I that which may bo inflicted upon
lie soul.
Captain Donovan met Mi's. Price oo
?asl'inally in society, bit' slie never no

iware "f his presence, (in one oeea
don he was presented to her by a
friend wli > knew nothing of their past

the slightest embarrassment and with
the unaffected manner for which stis
was conspicuous.
