What Is Love-
IIu.o.

One hundred letters were written TO

ton: "What is love- The results Of
the editors labors indicate confusion
variety of opinions among the people
of Vincennes as to what love is. Follow
ing are the answers from Ii different
.persons:
The most interesting and pardonabe
Of human weaknesses.
A mere delusion that has ruined many
men.
A feeling of such exquisite tenderness
that it is too sweet for comparison.
don't know anything about it, don't
think it amounts to much.
The sweetest ard most passionate cx-
element known to men-binding to-
gether by the strongest cords sex, kin
dren and nations
Don't know anything about it;
never was there.
1t is something that no fellow can find
out-yet all feel its power, more or less.
A sweet and delusive Inauguration
only.
A dormant passion of the mind aroused
by beauty and intellectual qualities of
some one woman.
An undefnable principle which all
beings possess, and which lies at the
foundation of all happiness.
A noble passion which enve.ops our
whole being and shows itself in every
thought word and action.
True bliss-void of fancy-of happiest
happiness:
An egotism OF two.
A feeling that takes root in the heart
and is only made perfect when il enters
the soul.
A latent faculty of the mind that, t,when
aroused. glows with radiance that illu-
inmates the gloomiest mind, and weilds
power of influence that is unequale1.
One Of the worst diseases of the heart.

Detroit Free Press.

Two gentlemen resigned their places
in a Cassavenue ear TO a couple of ladies,
one of whom, as she took the profcred
seat, was distinctly heard to say in low
but firm voice; Thank you, sir
The gentleman thus addressed started
and turned deathly pale; then he grasp
cd a strap in the ear, and leaning for
ward inquired Of the lady in question
Are you n resident of Detroit, ma
dam?"
Sir" queried the lady in an often
del tone.
Answer me, ma dam, implore you, -
bespught the agitatcd man. "rhis is no
time for trifling. Are you a stranger
here or native Detroiter."

Can it be pcssible?" murmured the
stricken man. And yet you wear no

TO show that YOU are not like Others, but

Then kind and pitying friends led
him gently from the car. 1t was too, too
much. His brain was turned AMI not
even the assurance that such a thing
might never happen again could restore
him. Reason had fled.

The newest fine cloth jackets are lined

Birds and butterflies of the most tropi-
cal appearance are placed fiat on the cor

tinsel embroidered ball dresses.
Caps of pleatod lace, puffs of tulle and

Elbow sleeves have the upper part of

These wires are woven in the hair, and
illuminate clusters of diamonds. Mr..

CORSET SAVED HER HUSBAND.
\ Woman steps ia Between Her Husband

Chicago Herald

4 shooting affray occurred last night at
26O Augusta street, which would proba-
bly, have proved fatal had it not been for
that much abused article of dress, a wO-
mans corset. At that number young
Irishman named Michael Barrett, a
plumber by trade, resides with his wife.
and next door at 262, two German tailors
Henry and Conrad Luise, aged respec-
lively nineteen and twenty-one years,
have their habitation. Yesterday after
noon, Charles Nicholas, Bohemian, also
a tailor by trade, and about their own
age, called on them, and a good deal of
beer was drunk, which they fetched
from a saloon in tin pail. The beer
had bad effect, for Barrett states that
several times during the afternoon the
brothers Luise opened the shutters of his
sitting room and peeping in, made indie
cent signs and used foul language to his
,ifc After putting up with this for
ONE time Barrett finally became annoy
= ! and went out to remonstrdte with
them They objected and an alteration
ensued, during which blows were ex-
changed, when Harry Luise drew %
calibre revolver Of the Defender" pat
tern and pointedtit at Barrett. Mrs. Bar
rett on seeing this, very courageously
stepped between them, and at the mo-
ment the pistol was discharged, the bull
let striking the steel in her corset, and
glancing off lodged in her right side, Just
below the lower rib, inhicting slight
flesh wound. DR.. Emrick was called in
and extracted the bullet The patrol
wagon was sent for and Conard Luise
and Charles Nicholas we're arrested on
the spot, but Henry Luise ran away and
was eventually arrested in his own hou se
where he was found hiding under the
bed. He is charged with shooting with
intent to commit murder, while the 9th.
er two are booked for disorderly.
