UngratefuI Thief.

Stolen, last Saturday, from G. Ii.
Hamilton, who lives just 8 miles west
of Mexico, a fine bay horse, 16 ID
hands high, with small speck in right
eye. The thief went under the name
of Allen Cozad, and had been work
ing for Hamilton four months. He
rode the horse to town Saturday,
while Mr.. Hamilton was sick, and
tried to sell it, but could not. He
collected 81 that was owing Hamil-
ton. and rode the horse off. This is
a case of ungratefulness and r~ascality.
Cozad had been treated as a member
of the Hamilton family, and all con-
fidence was placed in him. The horse
was a valuable animal, and a liberal
reward will be paid for information.
Our friend, A. W., who lives near
Laddonia, went to that town early
Tuesday morning to get his knives
ground. He did not go home till
late in the evening and his knives
were still unground. He had talked
all day trying to out talk Squire
Friar, and by the way that is hard to
do. Friar is justice of the peace and
the only republican official in the
county. He is all alone in his glory
and was elected because he is a social
clever gentleman and not on account
of politics.

The proudest record ever made by
an insurance company was that OF
the Equitable Life in the past year.
Her gross business was over sixty
million dollars and her present sur
plus fund over all liabilities is nearly
eleven millions. Her plans, as well
as her standing and progress, are un-
paralleled and unapproached, and
while this company has perhaps two
thirds or three-fourths of all the in
surance carried here there is room
for strictly good risks, There is no
question about the ability or willing
ness of the company to settle every
claim as it never disputes a loss nor
scales a claim. 1t pays one hundred
per cent. spot cash. Now is a good
time to try it.

Here we have a friend who can't
afford to take a county paper which
costs him less them 3 cents a week.
He comes to town at least once a
week and spends at least 81 for bad
sheep dip to drink ON the way home,
and 81 more for tobacco that the
hogs would not chew, which he takes
to bed and chews splitting on the CELL
ing overhead to fresco it, so to speak,
and still he can't afford to take a pa
per. He loses $500 worth of stock.
1t is taken up by a neighbor and post
ed in the county papers which he
does not take, hence never gets his
stock. Still he cannot afford to sub
scribe. He pays 500 to Smith for a
wagon which Smith adyertises to sell
for S45. He don't know it as he can't
afford to take the paper in which the
advertisement appears. He stops
work when his corn needs plowing
and goes to town to the circus on
Saturday only to find when he gets
to town that it is Friday and the cir.
Gus IS tomorrow, and still he cant
afford to take a paper. He sells his
hogs for 4c to his neighbor, who takes
a paper, who sells them the next day
for &c, and still he can't afford -
but we will refrain for he comes nov
with S1.50 in advance and says hi
can't afford longer to do without his
county paper.

OstraetNinS Mrs. Lanxtry.

Whatever credence individually may
generously accord to the protestations
OF Mrs. Langtry, the fiat has gone forth
that socially she must suffer. There Is
a disregard for appearances which Is an
insult to public sentiment and criminal
in itself. Mrs. Langtry has given cause
for resentment, if nothing else. There
is a sense of satisfaction in seeing this
woman sent back to Europe bearing the
unmistakable mark ofsocial castigation.
Ii is q sign that in spite of all that a
be said against our ~aristocracy it is char
acterized by a higher principle than
that of the Old World can boast of. The
general charge may lie against this
species of Ostracism that it is uncharita-
bic and unchriStian, and shuts the door
against the merely indiscreet aud the
truly penitent; but this at least cannot
apply to cases where there is no indica-
ton of improvement. The gifted wo-
man whose reputation Is smirched, anu
who still was high aspirations, truly
has a hard lot with us; but it surely Is
not charity that makes her path easier
in Europe. Woman's life with us is all
the broader and larger for the strict ac-
cOuntability to which she Is held. 1t IS
assumed that if married she does not
want to conduct herself in a manner
which q sensible husband would disap-
prove of,and unmarried that she need
not be constantly watched, but that
within certain limits she may be placed
upOn her own sense of honor ana re-
sponsibility-an experience which
Strengthens her character and makes
her the stronger woman.-S. L0Hts
