FRANK JAMES.
DEATH IN A FAIR WAY TO CHEAT JUS
an .s sTICE OF HER DUE. itiifs

Frank James, the noted outlaw,
is in very low health, and Charles
p. Johnson, one of his attorneys, the
other day said that IN all probabili-
| ty before the courts settled the case
the distinguished defendant would
be called before a higher tribunal.
What makes the situation of Frank
all the more gloomy is that his
finances are very low and that he is
forced to change his once luxurious
mode of living In strong contrast
are his present surroundings when
compared with those of a year ago.
There is no strip of Brussels carpet
on the floor of mis- cell now. The
paintings and bric-a- -brac have dis
appeared from the walls, the ma
hogany bedstead, the writing desk
and most of the books have disap-
peared. When the outlaw was
brought back from Gallatin three
weeks ago to the Independence jail
be was assigned to one of the small
cells, six by six, but to share it with
another prisoner The furnishing
consists of a pine board for table,
two rough hunks and a couple of
stands. Frank James is now no
better off in his cell life than any of
the dozen common prisoners who
gather about him in the corridors
daily to hear him "spout" Shake
speare, his favorite, and it might be
said almost his only recreation.
The change in the man is as nota-
BILE as that in his surroundings.
The halo of the demi-g god of the
sensation lover has been dissipated.
There are no daily levees with
curious admirers. The novelty and
excitement has passed away Jail
life is bad enough, but to this is
added strain of mind few prisoners
have sustained. The clearness Of
the eye and the brightness of the
complexion have gone. He is
little more stopped than he was.
The cheeks are shallow and thinner.
The loss of fifty pounds tells on
figure not burdened with too much
flesh He looks grave when he
talks about his health, and says it
is doubtful if another November
will find him prisoner, no matter
what the course of the courts.

VISIONS OF JIMJAMS.
THE EXPERIENCE OF MAN WHO
DELIBERATELY QUITS BUSINESS
AND GETS DRUNK.

AMI OhONhs
"Ihe warnings some drinking
men receive are very strange" said
the oldest of our party, writes Frank
Wilkinson in the New York Sun.
"I know several men who are
spreers who have warnings, gener-
ally VISIONS more or less horrible,
but invariably the same, when they
approach the wall behind which the
jimjams lurk. Probably the most
striking case is that of a gentleman
who inherited his diseased craving
for alcohol. He will not drink, it
may be, for year. Then he will
put his business into such shape
that he can leave 1T for a few days,
and deliberately get drunk. For
two days he devotes his energies to
getting drunk, and staying drunk.
Hc is not of the least trouble to any
one when drinking. He shuts him
self up in his room and drinks alone.
In two days he will drink a gallon
of the best g sour mash burbon
whisky money can buy. He always
begins drinking in the evening.
The third evening he goes to. bed in
beastly state of intoxieation AT
about midnight his vision comes to
him. He dreams that he went to
bed and slept soundly until awak-
ened by hard, white, fickering
light. He lies awake wondering
what causes the light, and hears a
loud knock on his bed room door.
Come in!' he cries. The door is
thrown wide open, and man who
has been freshly fayed stalks in.
The fayed man smiles in a CHASTITY
manner, and mods in friendly recog-
nition. The flesh is gone from his
mouth. His teeth grin mockingly.
He stations himself opposite the
bed and leans against the wall, his
shoulders making a bloody mark
where he leans. His lidless eyes
rolls, and his tongue lolls. The. bed
room door remains open. My friend
looks out of the door into the street.
There he sees a long column of fay
ed men marching rapidly down the
road. Stragglers drop out from the
column and enter his room. When
ten men have entered his bedroom
door closes. The fayed men, who
are covered with fresh blood, walk
silently around the room looking at
him. They pointed their 4 bloody
fingers at him. At signal from
the man who first entered, they all
marched out. Presently they re-
turn, each carrying fayed and
bloody corpse. The blood has dried
on the live men while they were
absent, and it flakes from them as
they re-enter the room with their
CHASTITY burdens. The corpses are
placed on the floor in a row, side by
side. At a signal from the leader
of the skinIess horrors they straddle
the dead bodies, and, bending over,
grasp them around the waists.
Then, strengthening up, with the
legs of the dead men between their
own, they move around the room in
weird dance, now advancing, now
retreating, then .circling around
the bed, and always leering and
Lgrinning at my friend. After des-
perate efforts he awakens, and the
vision disappears. 1t is his warning
to quit drinking, and he heeds it,
too" 70. a...'..-5.

The minister of fashionable

A Disagreeable Woman

A disasreeable woman is like vac
uum, there is no place for her in IA
lure. She is a parody upon herself.
If there is a touch Of beauty about
her, she gives those she meets the SORT
of shock one would feel ON taking
what appears to De wine and is in re-
atty vinegar.
Fortunately she is very seldom beau
tiful. i'm the true sense of the word.
Nature doe not lend itself tn shame.
1t is pitilessly exactIng. Sweetness OF
face must result from sweetness of lis
position. The face is not & mask.
but a mirror. Ii reveals everything
with terrible righteousness. A MIA
bili'y is not to be simulated to the OBJ,
servant eye.
You can not stamp the marks. bet
lines, the flowing curves of the agree
able to a sour face. unless YOU have he
quality in your breast. For this rea-
son the disagreeable woman is never
y.aliy beautiful. Her features, at
their best. remind you of etchings !;
tie effects have been "bit in" by
acids.
The forms of the disagreeable in
women are Infinite. but the effect of
al is the same. In place of attract
son there is repulsiGn in place of
1--we. pity-if not scorn in place of
happiness sour discomfort. The elsa
greeable woman is irksome to every
created thing, including herself. There
is positively only one way TO deal
with her-turn her into a joke.

CLARA Bells Ballet Experience.


Cincinnati Enquirer.
At the appointed time we might
have been seen entering the stage
door of the Academy, carefully dress
ed in the cheap but snowy style that
had been described to us as common
to the ballet III private life. Tue
tickets with which We had been
provided were taken up by the door
tender without question, and We
found ourselves on a very Vastly stage
that was as dull and dim Is cave.
In corner, TO the music of single
fiddle a man was drilling some
coryphees. He was ungainly, even
for a man, and | snickered right out
to see him kick up both heels at once
and slap them together. Ii YOU can
imagine a Cow performing that antic
or say bull, for nothing female
could be so awkward even though
bovine-you can get q vague ifea of
how ungracefully he did t. men
ton this to illustrate how infinitely
more comedy my sex averages than
does the other, His caper was liter
ally copied by row of four girls.
and you ought to have seen the
difference! 1t was an idealizat.on, and
no mistake. He had nothing but
agility, while they added the requisite
grace They were in one respect fun
ny, however, for their costumes con-
sisted of street garb as far down As
the waists, while below a ballet condi-
ton was produced by taking off outer
skirts and tucking up the under ones.
That was as far as our entertainment
went.
"All ready for the third figure, I"
said the boss.
There Was scampering out from
the shadows by lot of women ami
girls, all prepared for practice by the
unskirting process which L have
described,
Come, ladies'" said he, rather
peremptorilly, looking straight at us
1t was clear that, if, we were TO
impose upon him as newly-engaged
ballet girls, We won d have to do as
the others did. Did se? What do
YOU take us for? Of course not.
We skunk out of The back door,
crestfallen quite, and there to be
further maltreated by the awful
Ogling of three dude Washers.

He wants something, was the reply.

what costly. 1t seems that he had
made similar offer to a lady friend,
who produced the buttons, and he,
thinking possibly no one else could
match tho effort, renewed his propo-
