Betrayed by Shadows.
From the cartersville (Ga.) American

From the Gainesville (Ga.) Americana
was coming up from CedartoWn on
the East and West one afternoon not
long since. In the rear Of the coach I
saw a young couple who seemed to be
very deeply interested In each other.
The young lady was well dressed and
had nice manners. Her eyes were bright.
her cheeks rosy and herlips vermillion,
Her companion was young com
mercial traveller, whose face is often
seen in Gainesville The youngcouple
appeared to bemuch pleased with each
other, and in spite of their surround
ings were indulging in soft speeches
and melting glances. After while the
young man suggested that they go out
on the rear end of the coach and enjoy
the beautiful scenery The afternoon
was bright and the sun was shining
across from the west in a genial way,
casting long shadows toward the east
The train sped along through fields,
over bridges and around curves, and
in my admiration of the fine farms to
be seen from my window, l had almost
forgotten the young couple on the
coach. The train was gliding along
through an open field when my ewes
fell on the shadows of they oungcOuple
reflected against the embankment on
the side of the coach where [ was sit
ting. / could distinctly see the out
lines of their figures and the profiles Of
their faces-even the motion of the
young mans lips and the shadow Of
the young lady's eyelashes could be
seen. 1t was amusing to look at and
I called the attention of my neighbor
on the next seat to it. Soon almost
everyone in the car was watching
the shadows. The young man seemed
to be very earnest and the young lady
very attentive. Gently, and as if by
accident, the shadow of the young
mans arm glided around the shadow
of the young lady's waist, and the
shadow of the young mans lips was
seen to quicker and dive at the space
between the shadow of the young
lady's chin and nose. The passengers
in the train became deeply interested,

SOME instructive statistics have
recently been collected by the superin-
tendent Of the Massachusetts, reforma-
tory for women. Out of 200 women
brought there by drink, 1913 began
their downward career with beer, 81
with whisky, 20 with wine, and 8 with
gin. Ninety-one began at hehouses OF
acquaintance and Ga in saloons.
Sixty-seven out of the 200 were Irish,
and SO were Irish-Americans Most
of these women had become steady
tipplers, progressing naturally from
beer to whisky

THE supreme court OF the United
States has just made decision defn-
ing the status of lapsed homestead
and pre-emption claims within the
limits of grants to railroads, which
will affect the title to many thousand
acres of land. The court holds that
the lapsed homestead and pre-emp-
ton claims reverted to the govern
ment precisely the same as if they had
been situated outside of the lines of
the grant, and that they were subject
to new filings on the same terms. An
other point decided is that the lands
in railroad grant were not legally
withdrawn from homestead entry by
the railroad company merely laying
out it's general course. The withdraw
al occurred only upon the filing of it's
plat by the railroad. Some filings oc-
Cured between these two periods, and
while they have heretofore been set
aside, it now appears that they were
good.

DIFFERENCE of opinion exists as
to the political and social effect. of
woman suffragein Wyoming Territory.
Those who favored the experiment,
from principle, express the utmost
satisfaction with the result, while
those who looked with disfavor upon
woman's enfranchisement, whether
from principle or from prejudice, de-
clare that the condition of Wyoming
politics is worse than ever before.
Whatever the truth may be in regard
to suffrage in Wyoming, the extension
of woman's privileges and duties in
Washington Territory seems to have
done good. '"Twelve terms of court ]
have now held in which women have
served as grand and petit jurors, y
says Chief Justice Green, of that terri
tory, "and it is certainly a fact be
yond dispute that no other twelve
terms SO salutary for restraint OF
crime have ever been known in the ter
rltory" 1t is high tribute Judge
Green pays in these words to the ca
pacity, zeal for Justice, and thorough
earnestness of Washington jury wom-

cealed themselves along the roadside
and assaulted him with a volley of
stones and brickbats. The assault
was entirely unexpected and Latimer
was SO badly injured that he will prob
ably die. About twenty miners had
been working at the old price and re-
fused to join the strike This caused
bitter feeling and all day the strikers
and their wives stood about themouth

Latimer interfered, hence the assault

THE Enquirer says that asystemat

The Enquirer says that asystematic
effort is being made to destroy the
opium-eating practicein Cincinnati. 1t
has assumed such formidable proper
tions that it is found necessary to or
ganize against it. The habit prevails
most extensively among the ladies
who are slaves to the drug and whose
principal object in life seems to be to
hide the abominable practice from
husbands and parents. The plan now
being discussed is to obtain an accu-
rate list of all the opium eaters and
smokers andto apprise the relatives
of each victim, in order that syste-
matte effort may be made to bring
about cure, the victims themselves
not having the moral courage to place
themselves under treatment. 1t is
claimed the Isis can be obtained from
druggists and others who are posted.
Those interested in the scheme an
nounce their determination to carry
it out in spite Of thefact that the lists
will certainly bepublished.

65 per cent, and added that "this
movement towards the subdivision of
the large plantations is likely, in the
absence of capital to carry on extern
siye operations, to continue until the
tenure of the soil shall be relatively
even more popular that at the North. !"
If, as a French professor has re-
marked, ga mingling of large, medium
and small properties, in which those
of medium size predominant, is the
most wholesome of political and eco
nomical organizations" the United
States may claim to have the most fa-
vorable tenure OF the soil among the
nations of the earth. The ability of
France to recover from the late war
with Prussia and to discharge an enor-
nous war indemnity, has been com
monty attributed to the number of
her small farms, which make her the
most prosperous agricultural division
of Europe. In France the number of
estates is almost equal to the number
of families engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. In this country the number OF
separate farms is somewhat less than
one-half the number of persons actual
ly engaged in agriculture. France,
like the South, was defeated, but her
population went to work at once up
on her small farms and repaired their
losses in g. manner that astonished
the world. After the lapse of twenty
years the South is beginning where
ceased.

A Lively Skull.

A French officer has been enlivening
his comrades during the dull season
with a veritable narrative of an I'M
pleasant adventure which he encount-
cred during his Crimean campaign
thirty years ago, Riding one night
along the shore, his attention was at
tracted by a skull shining white in the
moonbeams. 1t was SO perfect and
the teeth SO brilliant, that he was
seized with the desire to possess it,
and, jumping from his horse, he
caught it up, and swinging it to his
saddle, galloped off while the bullets
of the Russian sentries whizzed around
his ears. AS the small party returned
to the bivouac they passed a redoubt
occupied by French marines, who in
vited them to partake of rough and
ready supper. Capt. O., the officer
who tells the story, drew his prize
from under his long cloak and placed
it on the table, Sailors are proverb-
tally superstitious, and there was a
very deep murmur of disapproval,
while gloomy looks replaced the for
mer boisterous mirth. The situation
was not lively one. A rough hut,
lighted by one feeble candle, whose
Pickering light brought the deep shad-
oWS, and without q weird silence, only
broken by the murmuring of the wind

the skull, to which all eyes were di-
!
ment and CRASHED its teeth with unmis-
taxable energy. The effect was indie
scribable. The panic stricken specta-
tors made a sudden retreat, and one
OF the sailors who was standing by
the table in his hasty movement over
threw and extinguished the solitary
light. The darkness was complete,
and through it was heard the strange
sound of the moving skull rattling
against the wood and the intermittent
gnashing Of the teeth. Capt. B., who
is reckoned among the bravest of
French officers, declares he never felt
any sensation like the terrors he then
! experienced. Let us relight the can
de-" said the officer of the marines in
a stified voice; somebody produced a
match and it's SKINNER showed a group
of pallid and agitated countenances.
The sinister too-too Of the teeth still
went on. The death's head had rolled
from the table to the floor and was
marching about with irregular action.
Capt. B., rousing himself by a violent
mental effort, advanced and seized the
gruesome visitant and turning it over
discovered two large crabs. The mys
terry was explained. The crustaceans
had taken up their locality in this
convenient resting place while the
skull was the sport OF the waves, and
the soldier in his haste had never no
ticed that his trophy was tenanted.

Guiding his narrative, that l was by
no means sorry to see my friends, the
marines, carrying off for the improve
ment of their scanty larder these two
cratic crabs, to whom | owe the most
disagreeable five minutes of my life. /"

Decreasing in Number Under tho Work
ings of the CiYiI-SerViee Law

Decreasing in Number Under tho Work
ings of the CiviI-Service Law.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 19-The
discovery has been made that the
number Of female clerks employed in
the departments has largely decreased
during the past as compared with pre-
vious years. This is attributed, some
say, to the working OF the civil
service law. The bureau chiefs,
when called upon to decide be-
tween o male and female ap-
plicant, invariably prefer the man,
and so it happens the number of fe-
male clerks is diminishing. This is an
effect certainly not anticipated by the
author OF the law; but it is possibly
not the law that is SO much to blame
as the administration Of it. What
sort OF men are these bureau chiefs that
they should invariably" prefer male
to female clerks? But this is not the
whole of the disheartening story.
When 1T comes to decision between
female applicants, the chiefs favor the
brunettes at the expense of the
blondes. The excuse they give for this
sthat the blondes are too quick tenn
pered, and do not make as efficient
clerks as the brunettes. This has
driven the blondes to desperation and
dark devices. An instance is given of
lady recently appointed to a
position In the Treasury Department,
who during the trying ordeal preced7
ing her appointment, disguised herself
IN dar k wig, and only showed in her
true cOlors as q blonde of blondes,
when her position was made sure and
secure
