this caused by the daring courage of our
brave boys. We knew that Uncle Sam
would appreciate such heroism, and re-
ward it by allowing them sufficient ra-
tions to keep body and soul together
until Sitting Bull swoops down upon
their devoted heads, thus making an
ending of them. Now, any kindly-dis-
posed person may be filled with pity at
the helpless and, we might say, starv-

WoMANLY MORAL COURAGE.-The
Baltimore american directs attention to
the fact that of all the suicides being
committed, a very small percentage is
of women. Men become discouraged
because of some sudden pecuniary mis-
fortune, because of disappointed ambi-
tion, or because of failure in their at
tempt to obtain employment, and take
their own lives. Devoted husbands,
with large families depending upon
them for support and nothing to supply
their wants, as others, resort to self-de-
structiOn. In these instances the act
would be pronounced cOwardly, if peo-
pie were not charitable enough to be-
lieve it was committed in a moment of
frenzy. 1t is such times that woman
develops the true herOism of her nature.
She faces the world and struggles
against its adversities. Even when de-
serted, her moral courage sustains her,
and when she does raise hand against
herown life, iti is oftener to hide shame
on account of betrayal, or from relig-
ious excitement, than any other cause.

Runaway Marriages.
ITO be continued

In a great majority of cases a lady's
elopement is unwise, giddy, ungrateful,
immOdest, and evinces a lascivious ap-
petite and reckless disposition. Why
should she desert and distress those who
have loved, nurtured, and cherished her
through all her past years to throw her.
self into the arms of a comparative
stranger, who has done nothing for her,
and whose protestations of affection
have yet to undergo the first trial? 1t
is every way unworthy of pure and gen.
tie maidenhoOd to do so.
We can imagine but one excuse for
her elopement, namely, the efforts of
parents or guardians to coerce her into
marrying some one she does not love.
To avoid such fate, she is justified in
running away, for no parent has or ever
had right to cOustrain a daughter to
marry against her will. But where the
parents are willing to wait, the daugh-
ter should also consent to wait, until
her choice is assented to, or she attains
her legal majority.
There is some truth to be told about
the "common run" of masculine prowl-
ers by night, about garden walls and
under bedroom windows, in quest of
opportunities to pour seducing batteries
into the ears of simple misses; but we
have not time to tell it now. AS a gen.
eral rule they are licentious, good-for-
nothing adventures, who would much
rather marry living than work for it,
and who speculate on the chances of
"bringing the old folks round" after a
year or two. A true man would not ad-
wise, much less urge, the woman he
loved to take step which must iuevit-
ably lessen the respect felt for her, and
violate the trust repOsed in her by those
who had loved and cherished her all her
days.-HODle Circle.

A MYSTERIOUS VIsITOR.-A rather
seedy-looking individual came into a
Detroit shipping Office the other day,
and stood around with an aimless and
uncertain air for several minutes. FL
nally one of the firm noticed him, and
coDjecturing his errand, said:
mo, sir, we don't want any lead PEN
ellis or the Life of Christ to-day.
Couldn't buy them; nor pain-killer,
either; nor shoe laces. We've bought
matches until the closet is full of 'em.
If we used some patent soap on our col
lars it would disgrace the rest of our
coats. And, finally, we don't ever get
our silks hats fixed up. We use them
for cushions"
The other members of the firm and
the clerks wore grins on their counte-
nanees, and the caller seemed non
plossed. But he shook himself, and
gathered his shiny, threadbare coat
about him, and shrugged his shoulders,
and as he opened the door to go out he
remarked in low, quiet tones:
GAIL right. L just called to pay you a
freight bill that has been running
since last summer. Pll call again, per-
hdpS IN
The door closed softly after him, and
a stiffness like that of Sabbath morn
pervaded the office.-Detroit Free Press.

THE MANS AND WOMAN'S WAY OF
SAYING THINGS.-LoOk at the ridicu-
lOus way in which a man takes it for
granted that a woman will be interested
in his sayings and doings. IF his wife
has long story to tell him she is filled
with misgivings lest it may tire him,
she leaves out many little picturesque
touches that she may not take up his
time, and, even on the hand-gallop, she
has not arrived within call of her con-
clusion when he asks, with confusing
directness, "Well, how did it turn out?"
But the man has never a misgiving
that she will be hurried or that life has
anything better to offer than listening
to him. He begins his story at its
earliest morning stages and lOpes leis-
urely to its close, or if it is rapid he
gives it rapid transit, but he never
omits anything on his wife's account.
He tells what he said and what the
other man said and what the other man
might have said, and what he would
have said had the other man said what
he might have said. And the worst of
it is-the fatal point is-that his conf
dence is justified. The woman IS inter-
ested. The mans talk takes her out of
her own into larger life, and she not
only tolerates, but enjoys it; and what
are you going to do about it ?-GaiL
Hamilton.

How to Write to the NeHspapers.

Never write with pen and ink. It is
altogether too plain, and doesn't hold
the minds of the editors and printers
closely enough to their work.
If you are compelled to use ink, never
use that vulgarity known as the blot
ting pad. If you drop blot of ink on
the paper, lick it off. The belligerent
cOmpositor loves nothing so dearly as to
read through the smears this will make
across twenty or thirty words. We
have seen him hang over such piece
of copy for half an hour, swearing like
pirate all the time, he felt that good.
Don't try to write too plainly. 1t is
sign of plebeian origin and public
school breeding. Poor writing is an in
dication of genius. It's about the only
indication of genius that great many
men possess. Sprawl your article with
your eyes shut, and make every word
as illegible as you can. We get the
same price for it from the rag man as
though it were covered with copper
plate sentences. Avoid all painstaking
with proper names. We know the full
name of every man, woman, and child
in the United States, and the merest
hint of the name is sufficient. 1t is
great mistake that proper names should
be written plainly.
Always write on both sides of the pa
per, and when you have filled both
sides on every page, trail line up and
down every margin and back to the top
of the first page, closing your article by
writing your signature just above the
date. How we do love to get hold of
articles written in this style! And how
we would like to get hold of the man
who sends them-just for ten minutes
alone-in the woods, with a cannon in
our hip pocket.-BUrliRgtOn HaaOkeye.

1t is not particularly creditable to the
people of Santa Cruz that they should
suffer that public-spirited and highly
talented lady, Mrs. Georgiana Kirby, to
be defeated for the office of School Trus-
tee, as they did on Saturday last. She
received rs out of 179 votes, the minor
ity representing the better class of vot-
ers of that town. The blindly bigoted,
and the stupidity ignorant and besotted,
opposed her to man, of course. The
Santa Cruz press either said nothing in
her favor, or else opposed her outright,
in obedience to the behest of the saloon
interests, of which the publishers-or
some of them, at least-seem greatly in
fear.-Sag Jose Mercury.

We have no fight against the coal oil
trade; on the contrary, would encourage it,
and are glad to believe, as we do, that such
trade has a large future before it. But we
have fight against the storage within the
city limits of large quantities thereof, as
dangerous both to life and property; and we
have fight, and propose to prosecute it
earnestly, vigorously and pertinaciously,
against the sale and use, for Illuminating
purposes, of such oils as are naturally and
inevitably productive of great danger to life
and property. All we ask is to reduce mat
tiers to safe point; and that we are going to
strive for until attained, through fair weather
