"My dear," said Mrs. Becson, mildly, the next evening, as her husband slammed the front door behind him and stamped off the snow on the hall rug, "what makes you so late? Dinner has been ready twenty minutes you know you said you would be home early to dress for the concert." "Great Scott!" returned Beeson. in apparent exasperation. "Can't a man get his coat off before he Is to be nagged to hurry? My business is more important than fifty concerts. I couldn't help it, my dear; I was held up by a man," he finished, lamely.

"Well, if we don't spend too much time at the table we shall be in season yet," consoled Mrs. Beeson. They ate silently and hurriedly. Beeson was hungry and so he wasted no precious moment in conversation. However, by the close of the meal he was feeling better, v.

Such did not prove to be the case, however. Whether the path of virtue was beginning to prove a road of poor accommodations, or' whether, the, loss of his after-dinner cigar in some subtle way had impaired his temper, certain it is that Bcoson's struggles to attire himself In the garb of a "blooming head waiter," as hn phrased it, formed a period of storm and When, at length, his toilet was completed, his countenance was flushed and his eyes glittered. His wife was waiting for him.

They were ten minutes late in arriving at the theater. Ten minutes later, that Is, than the fashionable limit of tardiness. Beeson is a man of strict principles. His sentiments on tho subject of the late theatergoers are well known. The manner of their arrival, therefore, did not tend to soothe his feelings.

When, in tho middle of the third number, the ushers discovered that their seats were in the fourth row back of those they were innocently occupying, his Ire approached the danger point. The concert progressed brilliantly. Everyone seemed to be congratulating himself on his presence at the function. Beeson paid close attention and told himself that hn was having a delightful time. After about an hour of it, however, he felt an imperative need of fresh air.

For Nature, when she molded Leopold, "tho grand old man of Belgium," rendered the approbation of mankind most agreeable to him for its own sake without obliterating his perception of the difference between pralseworthlness and praise. This, it may be affirmed on tho highest official newspaper authority, is the clew to tho king's solemn reverence for the Deityand expectation of a future judgment, without which, as he firmly believes, there can exist no invincible virtue.

The youthful eye of the king, In this his seventy-third year, sparkles with the same quickness and arch pleasantly that were so manifest when, over forty years ago, h0 welcomed the first Congo conference to the royal palace in Brussels an there avowed his humanitarian ideals. The phenomenally long nose has grown aquiline with the flight of time. The ending of the bony part can be seen or felt on most noses, according to the anatomists; but in Leopold's ease there seems no cartilage at all to afford the slightest Indication of pliability, the circumstance being significant of much In the royal character. Tho ear at its lower extremity is a mass of fat, tho organ projecting outward at the top' like a crumpled funnel In a demijohn of whisky, as if to lend point to the observation that his majesty always has his ears about him. The unarched cranium, with its poll of close-cropped white hair, assists the comparison between the king's head and a pear at the stalk end Instituted by some critical English.

I Brooklyn, March IMS. WRECKED. A large and robust Irishwoman appeared In a New York court recently to prosecute a case In which her husband was charged with having beaten her. The defendant, a small, stoop-shouldered man, had the appearance of having been run through a threshing machine, and seemed scarcely able to stand. The Judge surveyed the two with an amused light in his eyes.

"You say this man beat you?" he asked the woman. "Ho did not," the prosecuting witness said, with emphasis, folding her poweriui arms. "He knocked me down." "You mean to tell me you were knocked down by that physical wreck?" the Judge queried. only since he struck me that he's been a physical wreck, your honor," she explained. Harper's Weekly.
