husband hunting for her until he could
find her; but now she said she believed
she was the most foolish and miserable
woman alive.
The sympathy of the physician and his
wife went out for the wretched creature,
and she remained in the house until
morning, when the doctor placed her
aboard Of the southwestern train for Bur-
lington, and also wrote letter to the hus-
band, in which he stated the circumstances
in which the wife came to his house, and
on his belief in her bitter repentance of
her folly. She left her home full of glee
over her prospects ef a gay lark-and left
tor her home with broken spirits and in
fear and trembling.

Ingenious Young Women.

Troy Telegram: Monday there was big
excursion from the collar shops to Sara
toga. Hundreds of Troy's pretty Young
ladies went to Saratoga.
The sky threatened rain.
The young ladies wore bustles.
Perhaps there was no connection be-
tween the threatening sky and the bustIes.
and perhaps there was.
Shortly after the excursionists reached
Saratoga the rain began to pour. Many of
the young ladies with their escorts were
seated in the parlor of hotel when the
rain began to fall. The prospect was dis
NAL as viewed from the hotel windows.
Within it seemed sad, too. The airy and
tasty dresses of the excursionists must he
spoiled by venture on the street. Um-
brellas We're few and far between and
there seemed an entire dearth of outside
coverings.
But witness the ingenuity of the young
ladies of to-day.
AS if by preconccrted action the Young
ladies arose one after the other and left
the parlor.
In few minutes they returned.
All wore gossamer cloaks.
But the bustles were gone.

POE- I I RV.
AN OLD SAW,

A earlittle maid came skipping out
In the glad new day with merry shout;
with dancing feet and with flowing hair
She sang with joy in the morning air.
Don't sing before breakfast, youW cry befor
Bight!"
What croak to darken the child's delight
And the stupid old nurse again and again
Repeated the ancient, dull refrain.
Inc child paused trying to understand;
But her eyes saw the great world rainbow span
ned;
Her light little feet hardly touched the earth,
And her soul brimmed over with innocent mrth
Never mind-don't listen-oh, sweet little maid
Make sure of your morning song" l said;
"And if pain must meet you, why all the more
BE glad of the rapture that came before"
lob, tears and sorrow are plenty enough,
Storms may be bitter and paths be rough,
But our tears should fall like tho earth's bright

That help to ripen the fruits and flowers
So gladden. the day with your blissful song,
sing on while you may, dear, sweet and strong!
Make sure OF your moment of pure delight,
No matter what trials may come before night"

Crusade Against Cowboys.

CLIFTON, Arizona, Sept. 27.-A sherif7s
posse of twenty-five men met a party of
four cowboys and ordered them to throw
up their hands. Kid Lewis, the leader,
was in front and pulled his pistol, when
the posse fired upon them. Lewis receiy-
ed several balls at the first fire and was
instantly killed. Frank Leonard was
wounded and crawled off into the hills.
Nothing since has been seen of him, and
he is believed to be dead. Sheriff Paul
and Pat Gabriel, who left last week in
pursuit of the two stage robbers, have not
been heard of. Fears are entertained for
their safety. The robbers are reported to
be in their stronghold in San Catalinas,
reinforced by seven cowboys. If they do
not return tomorrow posse will go in
search.

A WIZ E'S ROMANCE,
Al Burlington Lady E1opes From Her
Husband, Expecting
Jolly Time

The Davenport Gowa) Democrat thus
tells OF the escapade Of young married
lady Of Burlington, in that city, and, nc
doubt, from the perusaI of the article
many will be able to determine her iden-
tity:
There is one young woman in Iowa who
has been cured Of romancing the past
week. 1t was on Wednesday last that the
wife of prominent physician engaged the
services of a young woman who was quite
agreeable in appearance, and who was
sent to her from an intelligence office, for
housework. She gave the girl, who ap-
peared to be about 20 years of age, gener-
al directions as to the work to be done.
and when the girl told her that she could
cook, the lady told her what to get for
supper.
The doctor came home to his tea, and
the wife went into the kitchen to see how
for the evening meal were
There sat the new girl with
a pan ofapples in her lap, but there was
no fire, no sign that preparations fol sup
per had been commenced even. And the
lady was struck by the sad countenance of
the girl. She asked the stranger the cause
OF the delay in arrangements for supper.
and why she looked SO downcast. The
eyes of the girl filled with tears.
"Oh, madam" she exclaimed, 'sI am in
such trouble. Oh, can't tell You how
Wretched am!'
The lady convinced the girl that she
could confide in her-and out came the
brief story:
"Oh, madam, have husband in Bur-
ington, as good a husband as any Young
wife ever had-and | have lun away and
