take back word We have said heretofore.
David is a good boy. Report says he has
chosen true and loyal woman to be his
wife, and good wishes for the happy pair

-WoMAN.-This is what Robert G.
lngersoll says of woman: II tell you that
women are more prudent than men. l
tell you as rule, women are more truth
full than men-ten times as faithful as
men. I never saw q man pursue his
wife into the very ditch and dust OF
degradation and take her into his arms.

waiting for the waves to bring back even
the corpse to his arms, but I have seen
her white arms lift man from the mire of

as though he were an angel"

When will surprises cease! Now
comes a letter on the fast train from
Cleveland, Ohio, written by Frank I.
Crane, of this city. with this spicy bit of
news: "Married, in cambridge, Ohio,

remember not many years back certain
young lady from Ohio bearing the name
of Pettibonc. who spent the summer
months with her sister, Mrs. Fl. H. Kent,
