Q. WOMAN, woxAN!

~ was Odtuu0y CSCAIH6' 49,
name is Mrs. Truin, and she halls
from Bingham. He, too, is . Bingham
tie, and his friends call him Miller
She has husband. He is bachelor
They loved each other in Bingham
aud they met in Salt Lake. He went
to the Great Western hotel and squan
dered four bits in buying the use Of q
room. She also went to that apart
ment and the door Was locked. The
hotel proprietor liked not these pro
ceedings and demanded that the door
be swung wide at his knock. Then
there were confusion and consterna-
ton, and after season the door was
opened. Miller gazed at the landlord
with two eyes, and . pistol looked at
him also. She whispered Miller to
shoot, but he Wouldn't. Then there
was more CONSERVATION, and the hotel
man FASTENED for the police, and the
police hurried to the hotel. They
found her on the staires; she found the
hotel mans short ribs with her fists
and Miller and Truin soon found them
selves in the police station, where
they found the latter's husband. She
wept at sight Of the urbane judge ex-
pressioned sadly at sight Of her. The
witness told the story Of the first as
sault on the landlord. She smiled
scornfully and said the witnesses lied
under oath. She called upon her hub
BY, dear, to swear that she was good
woman, and husband swore that she
was good-to Miller, not to hubby
He swore that she had deserted her
home "a model home; left her daugh-
ter-a butiful daughter; fed from her
husband-a kind husband, and became
q wife to Miller with all that
the name implied. He further tcsti-
fed on oath that his cup Of temporal
happiness would slop over if he could
for minute -one little minutc-have
Miller to himself outside the court
room. Then she wrathed again and
said, prove that am your wife, sir!
Pm not your wife. You deceived me,
sir! You inveigled me into marrying
you by false name, and I'm not your
wife, and you're scoundrel, and
flush, 'sh-'sh" said the judge, and the
officers said, Hush, 'sh 'sh,', and the
spectators breathed 'sh, and she hush
ed. Thed the judge said it was a
case,-and she said it wasn't. 1T is
bad house, and lie keeps bad house,
and I'd like to get my fingers on him
just one minute, and -" Hush, 'sh,
'sb," said the Judge, and every
body said 'sh, and she hushcd.
The judge said he would fine Miller
$50 and Mrs. Train $25, and they would
be committed till the fines are paid. She
wrung her hands, and reached out for
the landlord. I'D like to put my hands
on you, you liar. I'd be willing to pay
$25 if could touch you just once"
Flush, 'sh," said all.
Then the witness told how she felt
for the landlords short ribs, and the
judge painful dutied" her $40 for that
display Of woman's rights. Whewl
but didn't she writhe in her agony?
The jailor took down long brass key
tenderly hooked his hand inlo her elbow
and slowly and sadly they marched to
the prison door. Three wild, faint
shrieks pierced the night air, the check
cred door closed behind her, and she
was lost to society. In forty-fve days
she will emerge an older and a sadder
voman.-G L. Herald.

BILL AND THE WIDOW.

ing, as ne sat surfing ii0 1o00 VIZ
one hand, and holding plum cake on
his knee with the other, and looking
across the table into the bright eyes
lof his little wife, wouldn't it be 9
| good joke to get bachelor Bill Smiley
to take widow Watson to Barnum'f
show next weekw
"You can't do it, Ed; he won't ask
her, he's 50 awfully shy. Why he
came by here the other morning when
l was hanging out the clothes, and he
looked over the fence and spoke, but
when l shook out night gown he
blushed like q girl and went away"
II think l can manage it." said Ed;
"but I'll have to lie just little. But
then it wouldn't be much harm under
the circumstances, for l know she
likes him, and he don't dislike her, but
just as you say, he's SO shy. I'll just
90 over to his place and borrow some
bags Of him, and if l don't bag him
before | come back, don't kiss me for
week Nellie"
So saying, Ed started, and while
he is moving the fields we will take a
look at Bill Smiley. He was rather a
good-looking fellow. though his hair
and whiskers showed some gray hairs,
and he had got in set Of false teeth.
But every one said he was good
soul, and so he was. He had as good
a hundred-acre farm as any in Nor
witch, with new house and every
thing comfortable, and If he had want
ed wife, many girl would have
jumped at the chance like rooster on
a grasshopper. But Bill was so bash
always was-and when Susan
Sherrybottle, Wit m he was 50 sweet
on, though he never said "boo" to her,
got married to old Watson, he just
drew his head in like mud-turtle in
to his shell, and there was no getting
him out again, though it had been no
ticed that since Susan had become
widow he paid more attention to his
clothes, and had been very regular in
his attendance at the church the fair
widow attended.
But here comes Ed. Wilbur.
Good morning, Mr. Smiley"
Good morning. Mr.. Wilbur; what's
the news your way?"
"Oh, nothing particular that know
Of" said Ed. only Barnum's show
that everybody is talking about and
everybody and his girl arc going to.
I was over to old Sockrider's last
night, and sec his son Gus has 60,
a new buggy, and has scrubbed up
his harness, and he's got that white
faced colt Of his as slick a. = seal. II
understand he thinks Of taking Wild
ow Watson to the show. He's bccl
hanging around there . good deal OF
late, but Id just like to cut him out,
would. Susan is . nice little woman
and deserves better man than that
pup Of fellow. though l would not
blame her much either il she takes
him, for she must be dreadfully lone
some, and then she has to let her farm
out on shares. md it isn't half worked
and no one else seems to have the
spunk to speak up to her. BY lingo,
if were . single man, I'd show you
a trick or two"
So saying, Ed. borrowed some bags
and started around the corner Of the
barn, where he had left Bill sweeping,
and put his ear to q knot-holc and lis
tened, knowing the bachelor had al
habit Of talking to himself when any
thing worried him.
"Confound that young bagriderl"
said Bill. Mwhat hnsineas has he there
Idaho semi-weekly world. [volume] (Idaho City, Idaho Territory) 1875-1908, 1875-09-14

he looked down the road behind him
and saw 8 white.faced horse coming,
and at once surmised it was that OF
Gus Sockrider! He resolved to DO
or die, and hurriedly told his errand.
The widow wonld be delighted to
90, ofcourse she Wpuld Rutwouldn't
he come in. No, he was in = lhurry,
he said; he had to go on to Green's
place.
"Oh,r said the widow, You're go
ing to Green's, are you? Why, | am
going there myself to get one Of the
girls to help me quilt tomorrow.
Just wait a second while ! get my
bonnet and shawl" And away she
skipped.
Thunder and lightning!" said Bill.
what scrape! and he hastily clutched
his pants from between his feet, and
was preparing to wriggle into them,
when light wagon drawn by the
white faced horse, driven by q boy,
came along and stopped beside him.
The boy held up pair of boots III one
hand and pair Of socks in the other,
and just as the widow reached the
gait again he said:
Here's your boots and socks, Mr..
Smiley, that you left on the bridge
when you were in swimming"
you're mistaken said Bill; "they
are not nine
why, said the boy, "ain't you the
young man that had the race after the
horse just now?'
mo sir, am not! You had better
go on about your business
Bill sighed at the loss Of his Sunday
boots, and, turning to the widow, said:
Just pick up the lines, will you,
please? This brute Of a horse is al
ways switching them out Of my
hands,
The widow complied; then he pulled
one corner of the robe down as she got
10.
