LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
HESS the Average Woman.

The wisest men unite in the BELIEF
that intensely intellectual women are
not always the most desirable COM
panions. Auerbach, in "On the
Heights, describes the Countess lrmh
with all her wit, grace and beauty
as ian unspeakably fatiguing woman,
requiring an everlasting lirework dis

are wonderful and delightful, but an
eternal Fourth of July. mental or
material, would soon wear out the
staunchest man. Bless the dull day

its niche to fill.

A Precious Pair.

Sinnie Pippin is yellow-haired girl,

runs in the woods with Fayette. and
they live there together more like In

Fayette gets hold Of any plum

for him. and buys coffee. cartridges
and such things as he needs, and goes
back into the woods, and they start
out on another expedition. Once they
commit "A robbery. they start of as fast
as they can through the woods, sleep
ing in the day and travelling in the
night until they get into another cOun-
try or across the Kentucky line, but al
ways manage to get a good way from
the robbery before people commence
10 hunt for them. Anderson's plan is
TO meet man travelling along the
road, find out what he can about him
by talking fricndly.like, and if he
thinks the stranger is worth robbing,

woods, and bc waiting in the bushes
when the stranger passes along the
road. Halt and throw up your hands"
Is the first thing that the wayfarer

going through him with his left hand.

GREAT SCOTT

When the Republicans passed the
Scott law, they claimed it would not
only regulate the liquor, traffic." but
would close nearly all the saloons in
the state. Experience has thus far
shown that the number Of saloons is in
creasing instead of diminishing. Down
In GlermOnt county, however. a new
scheme has been devised by the Repnb-
licans to close the saloons, after the pro-
prietors have paid the tax, and have
commenced doing business under the
Scott law. Charges are made against
saloon keepers that they violate the law
by selling liquor to men in the habit of
getting drunk, when they are arrested,
and being unable tOgive enormous bail,
they are thrown into Jail, and thus theiI
business is virtually closed. The officer
in giving his decision, proclaimed the
astonishing doctrine that any man who
drinks at all may be classified as a per
son in the habit of getting drunk We
presume this DOgberFy justice will fur

A STATEMENT prepared by N. L. Dukes
for pOsthumOus publication has appeared
in print. Dukes killed Captain Mutt at
UniOntOwn, Pennsylvania, and was af-
terward killed by Nuts son. The repu-
tatiOn of Captain Nutt's daughter was
involved in the tragedy. Dukes was adj
yised by friends to write a statement, as
he was in danger of losing his life. Mutt
went to Dukes room at the hotel with
hostile intent, and attempted to strike
Dukes with heavy cane; that scuffle
ensued, in which Dukes got possession
of the cane, and that then Mutt attempt
ed to draw pistol, when Dukes himself
drew, and, to save his own life, shot
Muffin short, that he acted purely in
self-defense, and tried to avoid injuring
Mutt as long as his own life was not in
danger. As to the cruel letter written
to Mutt concerning his daughter, Dukes
acknowledges that he committed very
foolish mistake, but claims that Mutt
was responsible for making the letter
public. Much Of the statement is taken
up with denunciatiOn of the press. .

"We have had some experience with

betray his friends; and we know he has
not q particle Of honor in his breast. No
