A Few Samples Of Mrs. Bradley's Work
With the Brush.
Mrs. Bradley, the lady who is to
establish class in printing in this
city next week, has placed four sam
pies of her work on exhibition at II
Z. Burkhart 4 Co.'S. Two of these
are plaques, the one representing the
Castle of Chillon, on Lake Lomond,
and the other Carlsbrooke Castle, on
the Isle Of Wigh. The latter is u

variety of co'onng, while the former

a very natural appearance; but the
most delicate and perfect piece of
work on exhibition is undoubtedly a
plate upon which are autumn leaves
done in all the shades AMI t;nts which
make these reminders OF departing
season Sd dear to the lovers of nature.
This work alone stamps its author as
an artist of ability.

AN AMATEUR LAWYER.

A Yankee. named Mather, who Lac
been for twelve years in an insuranC,
office, was in Cincinnati, out of work, anc
living on ten cents day. He had a room
with a certain Mrs. Sterne, and as his bill
there was assuming respectable proper
tions, and he had no immediate prospects
of being able to liquidate it, he decided
to skip by the light of the MOON" That
very day, his landlady inquired
aren't you lawyer, Mr.. Mather9"
Quick as thought, he responded:
Yes"
WELL" said Mrs. Sterne, Il want to
get your advice. My husband has left
me, and wants to get hold of the policy
of insurance on his life, which l have.
Can he do 50, and sell it back to the com
pany?"
Mr.. Mather examined the policy, and
feeling doubtful on one point, told her
he would advise her the following morn
ing. He repaired at once to the law office
of friend, and in an off hand way gained
the information he desired, and the fol-
lowing day gave his final decision to Mrs.
Sterne.
He had then accumulated a few dol
lars, and asked his landlady the amount
of his bill.
"Why, you are not going, are you? |
hoped you would board out your bill

COMPELLED TO PURLOIN

There are in St. Louis dozens of ladies.
the wives or daughters of wealthy citi-
zens, who are addicted to kleptomania.
Every prominent dry goods store has sew
| eral such customers and when known
they are followed from the time thew en-
ter the store until they leave it. and By
careful watching every article they alb
stract is noted down and included in
their bills, which are always paid with
out demur.
One young lady kleptomaniac manifests
her disordered mind in stealing buttons:
everything else is sacred. but she invaria-
bly, edges up to the button counter and
slyly slips card with dozen or 50 of
buttons into her reticule. The bows at
the counter all know her and place the
commonest buttons within her reach.
Any kind satisfies her; still her bill for
buttons during the year is something that
would surprise you. As her family are
good customers we offered to take back
the buttons. But no, they said they
would rather consider anything she took
out of the store in the light of purchase.
Now, the young lady in question is
model of propriety in all other respects
and seems to be perfectly unconscious of
any transgreSsion of the moral law.
The wife of a wel-known up town pas
tor is confirmed kleptomaniac, much to
the sorrow of the good man, her husband.
She is never allowed to go out shopping
without being accompanied by some one,
and a messenger is employed to return
the purloned articles, which are usually
of a trilling value. \ venerable old lady,
a devout member of the Presbyterian
Church and a real motherly old SOUL is
victim to the habit. She is a widow and
the mother Of young lady, the announce
ment of whose prospective marriage to
one of our society beaux, appeared in the
paper the other day. The lady is wealthy
and not addicted,to extravaganza in any
thing. She will steal regardless of the
value of the article. and if nothing else is
handy will fill her pockets with paper.
The first time she was detected in our
store the salesman brought her to my
private Office and complained that she
had stolen some cotton hose. thought
it was an ordinary case of theft and gave
her severe lecture on the moral wrong
of pilfering, iuterlarded with threats OF
condign punishment on a repetition of
the offence. She both confessed and la
mented her unhappy propensity, Lut
claimed she was unable to control this
horrible habit. She gave me her name
and address, and when | verified them
put the case down as one of kleptomania,
and subsequent events proved that was
right.

A Word from Surface Creek.
SURFACE CREEK, June 10


To the Editor of THE CHIEF:
In last weeks issue we notice commune
cation from "Gunnison" in relation to vot-
ing precinct on Surface creek, and we feel
confident that the Commissioners will grant
it as requested. We wish to speak more par
ticularly of the laying off of the county into
Commissioner districts. We do not intend
to stop at asking for voting precinct, but
intend to see that justice is done us when the
Commissioner districts are formed. "Gunni-
sons" division of the county-a district of
the North and Smiths Forks, another on the
north side of the Gunnison from the mouth
of the canon to the west line of the county,
and the third district the south side of the
Gunnison west-meets with the hearty ap-
proval of the residents of this part of the
county, and the only one that will give satis-
faction. 1t is the true division of the county
according to its voting population. We care
nothing for the balance of power, and if our
Commissioners should SO divide the county as
to retain this in any one section, just so surely
will they dig their political graves. Let us
all stand on fair footing and work together,
and We can within few years have one Of
best counties in the State. RANCHERo.
