IN MALI ATTIRE.

A dispatch from st. Louis says:
When the train on the Iron Noun
tain arrived from Little Rock late
last night some of the passengers
called the sergeant of police, on du.
ty at the Union Depot, and told him
there was = young man in the car
who had fallen from the train and
been hurt. The sergeant entered
the car pointed cut to him, and
found red haired youth, dreese1 in
much worn suit of jeans, who said,
in reply to questions, that he vas
the boy who vas hurt. The ser
geant carried him out Of the car aud
to the city dispensary, whence be
was conveyed to the city hospital.
To the sergeant he stated that bis
name was John Paxton. At the
city hospital this morning an exam
ination revealed the fact that John
Paxton was a woman. lu reply to
the inquiries of the physician ia at
tendance the patient said her name
was Mary Click and that her home
is in st. Louis. For several months
past she has been employed at mans
labor, disguised in mans attire,
among the gang of workmen of
Evans & Russell, at Mill Spring,
near Poplar Bluff, Mo Mary says
she has been wearing male attire
ever since she was 8 years I'D.
That once, about year ago, she
put on girls clothes aud was arrest
ed for masquerading IS girl. She
is now sixteen years old, and fair
ly good>lookipg girl. She labors
under the idea that her sex is .neu-
tral, bat DIR. Dean, of the hospital,
says that there is nothing in her
physical constitution different from
that Of other members of her sex.
She told the reporter that she had
left her home in St. Louis because
she could not agree with her steps

FREE LUNCH. This week. as an
inducement to draw trade, the Pal,
metto saloon has kept free lunch con-
stantly spread upon the bar. Said
free lunch consists of pretzels and
bologna sausage. On Monday
long hungry looking fellow, fresh
from the solitudes of the Savannah
river swamps, stepped in to moisten
and threw nickle upon the counter
together with the explanatory word
Corn After drinking, his eyes
fell upon the tempting free lunch,
Casting anchor he proceeded to sat
isfy his inward craving. Butler
watched him with establishment as
he cleaned up the dishes. Say,
Mister, are you the fellow that feeds
the animals 2
what dye take me for 2
well, from your ears I'd take you
to be jackass, but your bray
aounds sorter human like. Got any
more sausage 7

Yes, sir Boil some and bring to
this gentleman
Great spoons 7 said the hungry
man, is that dog sausage p
Dog sausage, why you don't sup
pose | could afford to give beef sau-
sage away all day, do you9
The man was outside in a second.
'Awoup! Oush ? and the sau-
sage flew.
Butler, at this distressing juno
ture, put his head out Of the door
and yelled:
Say, Mister, l forgot tc tell you
that if you wanted tc keep that dog
in, you would have to block him p

sENsIRLE SENTENCES.

DON'T be whining about not hav,
ing a fair chance Throw a sensi>
bic man out of window, he'll fall
on bis feet and ask the way to bis
work. The more you have to begin
with, the less you will have 10 the
end, Money you earn yourself is
much brighter than any you can get
out of dead mems bags A scanty
break fast in the morning of life
whets the appetite for feast later
in the day. He who has tasted a
sour apple will have the more relish
for a sweet one. Your present want
will make future prosperity all the
sweeter. Eighteen pence has set up
many peddler 10 business, and be
turned it over until he has kept his
carriage. As for the place you are
cast in, don't find fault ith that,
you need not be horse because you
were born in stable. If 2 bail toss
ed q man of metal sky high, he
would crop down in a good place.
A hard working young man with his
wits about him will make money
while others will do nothing but lose
it who loves bis work end knows
how to spare, may live aud flourish
anywhere AS to the trouble, who
expects to find cherries without
stones, or roses without thorns p
Who could win must learn to bear.
Idleness lies in bed sick Of the mul,
ligrubs, where industry fuds health
and wealth The dog in the kennel
barks at heas the hunting dog does
not even know they are there
Laziness waits till the river rams
dry, and never gets to market
Try swims it a1d makes all the
trade Cans do it would not eat
the bread cut for him, but Try
made more out of mushrooms.

A LOST LOCOMOTIVE

The Philadelphia Evening Bulle"
tin retells the story Of the locomotive
which ran through broken bridge
on the Kansas Pacific Railway
across Kiowa Creek, several years
ago, sinking into the mud at the bot
tom and has never since been heard
from, though repeated efforts have
been made by digging and boreing,
to recover so valuable property.
The bottom is a quick sand, and
even quick sand have limits, aud it
seems very singular that the longest
boreing-rod has failed to find any
trace of the sunken engine. By and
by, the Bulletin suggests, the silent
mysterious operation will drain the
quicksand and harden it into rock,
aud then long after the Kansas Pas
cfc road has been forgotten and the
Kiowa Creek has vanished from the
map, some future scientist will dis
cover a curious piece of mechanism,
undoubtedly the work of human
hands, lying under so many hundred
feet of undisturbed sandstone, and
will use the fact as basis for calcu.
lation how many million years old
the race must be. Thus history will
repeat itself, as it has often done and
will continue to do.

Compulsory education has been
fairly tried in Wisconsin, and appears
to have been reasonably successful.
The present system which was
adopted in 1879 requires the atten
dance, at public or private school, for
at least twelve weeks 10 each school
year, of all children between the ages
of seven and fifteen in the state
The Wisconsin, State Journal, re-
viewing the subject says that the
year following the enactment of the
the law, the school attendance in
creased fully 10000 The returns
for 1882 show better result In
1850. The humber of children be-
tween the ages of seven and fifteen
attending the public and private
schools was 1888 and in 1882
the number was 223,5 75--s gain Of
1903. In the former year, the
percentage of attendance of these
children was slightly over so, and
10 the latter year it was 81. The
increase of the school population in
two years was only 12,004.

MUSCLE don't make any body bel
ligerent. On the contrary, it is .the
law of nature that the most muscu-
lar men are the kindest in DISPOSE
ton. They hardly ever get mad,
I've seen these puny fellows who
could hardly knock a fly off wall,
get furiousy mad and buckle up to
a man twice his size. One of them
sort got mad with Judge Hammond
while be was making speech
against him in a justice court, and
danced up and down behind him and
struck him 10 the back as bard as he
could drive. The Judges back was
two feet and half wide, and be
simply looked around with a smile
of surprise and said:

AN ATRoCIoUs ACT.

ThurOday last, e difficulty arose
between two negro men, convicts il
the Floyd county changing, al
work on the Alabama road two miles
from he city, and which resulted
in one of them being killed. =
The name of the murdered man is
lobe Ware, and that of bis slayer
is Enoch Freeman. We were int
formed that the difficulty originated
as follows: They were working
close together, Freeman with a show,
Ell and Ware with q pick ; Freeman
spoke to Ware with an oath saying
not to strike so near his (Freeman's)
hands with the pick, for fear he
might hit him. Ware became in
fugiated at Fraomau's language and
ietorted in stronger kind, when the
latter told him to let him alone, else
be would strike him with a shovel
Ware did not desist in his abuse of
Freeman, who, losing control of his
better Judgment, deliberately dealt
him a stunning and fatal blow ON the
left temple with the shovel, fractur-
ing the skull, which DR.. W D
Hoyt says was sufficient to have
produced death, and as he fell struck
him again, the blade of the shovel
cutting cash and fracturing the
skull near the top of the head, a lit
tie to the right This DR.. Hoyt al
so thinks was sufficient to have caus
ed death AS soon as he committed
the deed, Freeman was brought to
Rome and lodged in Jail, where he
will remain until he is brought into
to answer for the crime with which
he stands charged, He was 10 the
changing for fighting; his term
would have expired about month
hence. He is thirty-tbree years Of
age. His victim was forty five or
fifty years old and was in the chain
gang for stealing a pair of shoes; his
term would have expired in five or
six days. We were unable to ass
certain whether any efforts we're
made to prevent this fatal tragedy.
1t is indeed sad affair, and one
which we regret very much to qsSI

AWAY up in the cold rugged north,
q region which northern writer says
is "a breeding place for strong, wise
men, where civilization is grandest,
where the great republican party of
moral ideas predominates, is the city
of Chicago. Wonder what Frank

The Chicago Tribune, republican,
surely must be in error when it has
the following to say of Chicgao {:
"The city swstms with the bacteria
Of social disease. 1t is carbunkle
Of corruption Our municipal ad
ministfatiou is the menstreum
through which the parasites of ruin
are propagated. Their alliance with
the thieves, prostitutes, gamblers aud
inebriate makers stimulants the fas>
ter. Under their regime Chicago
is becoming every day more of a
physical and moral sewer. We are
ruled By bad men because the wise
among us are not wise enough to see
that the most important thing they
can attend to is the politics that is to
determine whether or not the com

their property and their children,

MISUNDERSTANDING THE SOUTH.
St. Louis Republican.

An Iowa editor has been arreGteC
at Hot Springs, Ark, charged with
slsndering respectable citizens Of
that CITY in letters written home ia
his paper This is a new method OF
dealing with very common offeuse
Of Northern newspapers. Defaming
the social and industrial condition
and the domestic policy OF the South
and misrepresenting the habits OF
the Southern people. has been fae
vorite pastime with disreputable cor,
respondents of the Northern press,
who are frequently cent into the
South for that very purpcse. The
business is most lively during presi
dental campaigns and its whole OBJ
ject is to inAame and pervert popu
lar sentimen. 10 the North In fact
the most effective way of conducting
political campaign in the North, in
the estimation Of too many Republic
can editors, is to give distorted pic,
lures of the relation between whites
end blacks in Louisiana, Arkansas
and Mississippi, ooncQct false reports
of local troubles and even to prin!
lies by the broadside. 1t was in
vain that the Southern press exposed
these falseboIds their statements
were ridiculed and repudiated 1t
was in vain that the Southern PEG
pie pleaded the wrong done them by
the misrepresentation and perver-
sion8 of correspondents who bad
been recipients of their hospitality
and courtesy their pleas fell on the
cold ears of parti5ans who had invi'-
ed the misrepresentation A DOM
inant party can always defame the
people of conquered region with
impunity, and the Republican jour
mails of the North have svailed them
selves of this cheap privilege with>
out mercy. No doubt there are
many defects in Southern society;
many features of industry, politics
and government in the South that
ought to be improved; but to seize
on these glazing defects and present
them as picture of general condi
ton to proclaim the COW boy, the
train robber and the rowing cuts
throat as representatives of the Tex
as people; and to so persistently
misre4 resent the condition of things
in South Carolina as to give a party
OF distinguished foreigners the im~
preston that they cannot go to
Charleston except at the peril of
their lives, is an exhibition of malev
olence which even the wide license
of American politics cannot warrant

A few weeks since 40 old woman,
upward of ninety years of age, died
at q place called Eglinton, near Lon
donderry. The usual arrangements
for the funeral were made, including
a wake. The coffin was closed aud
taken to the place of interment,
where the service was duly gone
through, the coffin lowered, and the
grave filed in. On returning home,
bowever, the relatives we're amazed
to find the corpse Of the old woman
,ing on the bed on which she ex-
pred. They had simply forgotten
to put her 10 the coffin. They took
her to the grave in a cart, dug up
the empty cofiu, and placed her in
it and evidently had her securely
