In these days, wherein lack of filial af-
fecsion, on the part of young ladies, il the
RUE, there is something positively refresh
ing In the following paragraph, which we
clip from an exchanges ssHe> met Miss
Kitty at ball. After talking about the
balloon ascension, the weather, and other
things, he asked rather abruptly: aWhere
is your moth, r?" eOh,o said the sweet

Fl The St. Louis Journal claims to have
discovered the author of the 'sJuniusn let
tiers in the person of George w. Fishback,
of the s.. Louis Democrat, bringing strong
crcumstantial evidence in support of said
claims. 1t is pleasant to learn, too, that
Mr.. Fishbaek bears his honors with becom-
ing fiodesty. '-'a li 3a5
The cheerful young man who gets a
thousand dollars week for preparing this
column Cat which price his proprietors con-
slider him dirt cheap, was shown, not long
since, at High street residence, a picture
of q cberub, painted in 1915. The young
man referred 70 is quite connoisseurin che
rubs painted and otherwise, and be drafted a
very interesting paragraph in relation to this
particular enc, and referred, in that connec-
ton, to the mystery which surrounds the
exact date Of the birth of S. B. Anthony.
That paragraph is now circulating about the
country in the following unsatisfactory
shape; .TT-FE an n .ryrau
"rbere, S picture of a cherub in Louis
vile which is older than Susan B. Anthony.
It was painted in 1916"
The st. Lpuis DemoerGt published, last
Sunday, complete directory of that city
taken in 1926, and now thelSt. Louis bon ton
are charging around the Democrat Office in
perfect fnrry of rage. The Dispatch very
pertinently inquiries, "Who wants their

And now the Chicago Journal comes to
the fore with an expose OF a female woman
reported to have been seen figuring here
abouts:
"A gentleman travelling southwark,
writing TO us, says he met lady a. Louis
vile and at Nashville who, pretending to
have lost her satehel, railroad ticket, ETC.,
appealed to railroad officials, hotel men and
others for assistance on the score of being a
representative of the Chicago Journal
For the information of those who have beer
'laken in by this confidence woman, in
Kentucky, Tennessee or elsewhere, we will
state that the creature in question is evil

A lady correspondent of the Boston Post
writing from Washington, D. G., says:
there is nothing more tame aud utterly
iDane-destitute of all human interest
than "good society" Look at good society
at the fashionable watering places, see
how nominally in the pursuit Of pleasure is
scorns the object in view. 1t is TOO aristo- |
cratic to dance, to laugh, to talk with
animation. It drives, it dresses, it
eafs, it watches others dancing
and enjoying themselves, and des-
pises them for being capable Of underlined
excitement. OF all people in the world
these Immensely rich members of good |
society are the most to be pitied. The |
moderately rich have one object in life, to
wit: the desire TO appear richer than they |
are but those who have plenty have no b. |
ing to do but to take care of their diamonds |
and laces. And what a care these, |
the first, become to their |
owners. An owner of diamonds to |
the amount of thousands never dares trust |
them off her person. If not worn out I
wardly, the twenty thousand dollar neck |
lace is beneath the waist of the dress, its |
cutting and setting gOading the flesh, per-
petaal reminder that 81, the representative
Of a fortune, am here, wherefore, cease to
feel my pricks if you dare" The bracelets,
when they must not be shown, are clasped |
on the arms under the sleeves, and the |
pendants, rings and head orna-
ments are in muslin bag depending from
The waist.
