An Awful Revenge

Alta California: An awful case of
the consequence of refusing young
mans honorable love is reported on
the west side. A really nice young
man fell in love with handsome girl,
the only daughter of handsome and
well-preserved widow of thirty eight
and offered her marriage. She ridiculed
ed him because he was twenty-siX, and
said he was old emo gh to be her father,
and so on, and which her taunts goad-
ed him to such pitch of frenzy that
| he swore he would be fearfllly reycng-
ed. Accordingly he proposed to and
married the wretched girls mother.
Now that wretched girl has to wear
stout leather boots two sizes too large
| for her, and 80 to bed ut Or. NJ, and
eschew the theater. chocolate caramels,
ice cream, and in fact, everything else
thai makes life worth living for. her
I Step-father's nominal object being that
when she grows up she nay be MS
splendidly-matured a woman as her
mother, the compliment implied in
this inducing her mother to second
him enthusiasticaly. When young
man comes round to see that wretched
girl her step-father bounces him down
the front steps, throws his hat after
him, and tells the wretched girl that
| young man is not fit companion for
her and that he is rs sohcitous for her
future as he would be for that of his
own child, and altogether in the kind
est manner possible, he makes that
wrecked girl even wish she were dead
rs many rs a hundred times day.
Let all other beautiful girls who are
tempted to refuse the matrimonial
offers of eligible young men be warned
| by her unhappy fate.

The earth is about to cross the track

ellipse of meteoric matter whose peri
helion crosses the earth's orbit and
whose aphelion extends beyond the
planet Uranus. From the 10th to the
14th the earth is blowing through this
meteor zone, and more meteors than
usual, radiating from the constellation
Perseus, may be looked for The
probability is that not many will be
seen, but there is a delightful uncer-
tainty about the working of celestial
machinery that makes it not impos-
siblc that observes will be rewarded

| The November meteor zone is made
up of a swarm of particles following in

Of meteoroids is not equally scattered
around the orbit, but is concentrated
N one portion, which the earth crosses
once in about thirty-four years. Then
we have a shower which is something

shower is not to be expected until
1899, In the interval, unless some
ching extraordinary takes place, the oh

money or your life and pulled the
trigger. The weapon went off with a
loud report, and Kelly. clasping his
right side, cried: / am shot; run for a
doctor" The doctor soon came and
found that the bullet had entered the
abdominal region ana passed upward to
