An italian Woman Convinces a Crowd That
She Has a Great Head.
m Y Times

She Has Great Head.
GN.I- Times.l
A shopkeeper near the City Hall elevated
railway station broke up a few old boxes
yesterday and left the wood piled up on
the curb-stone. Two persons went into his
store and asked him for 1t! One was an
Irishman, able-bodied, apparently strong,
and rich enough to own a paper of chewing
tobacco. The other was an Italian woman,
dirty and avaficious-lo looking, with bronzed
and wyinkled face, small blue eyes, rag
ged dress of gaudy flannel, and low, thick
shoes. The shopkeeper turned TO the wom-
an.
''Take it away quick" he said, sharply.
"Yez can't carry it all; lave me soom,"
said the Irishman.
The woman made no reply, but it was ev-
ident that she meant to carry off all that
wood or none OF it. The Irishman and sew
eral other idle men stood around TO watch
her do it. She didn't work in hurry. The
Aldermen canvassing the city vote were
not more deliberate than she was. After
taking a thorough survey of the situation,
she picked up few pieces of wood, crossed
the street with them, and piled them up on
the edge of the stone coping of the steps
leading into the Registers Office. Then she
set prematnrely precocious little girl to
guard the pile while she went back for the
remainder. For half an hour she deliber-
ately lodged the stream of vehicles
with her arms full OF wood. She
built up her pile as carefully as
boy nfanipufates his toy. "box Of
bricks" 1t looked too large for any
ordinary human being to lift and carry
The Irishman looked on with patient
amusement, but the woman worked ON with
determined perseverance. Passers-by be-
gan to grow interested.
Finally the little woman had the wood
all stacked ON the steps of tho Registers
Office, tied it with piece of cord, and
rested awhile for breath. The crowd
formed circle around her and watched
her with some curiosity. Teamsters stop
ped and looked on in wonder. The woman
paid not the slightest attention to them.
The pile of wood was at least four feet
high. Shew was not much more than five
feet in height. She fumbled around what
wns presumed to be her bustle for a mo-
merit and brought forth something which
looked like boiled slet-pudding tied up In
white cloth. She pummeled It and
pounded X awhile TO make it fit her head,
| put it on, and then made dive for that
| pile of wood. She wiggled around for q
minute until her head got well settled,
stretched out her arms, and strained her
broad shoulders She pressed her nose in
TO the block of stone until it was almost flat
with her. face Suddenly, with convul-
sive twitch, she stood erect beneath q
small mountain Of timber. Fixing her eyes
| on the Irishman, she stuck out her ton5ne
with knowing leer and sailed OF down
/, Center street as steadily and stately as q
chin. The crowd gave her cheer. The
| Jrishman sut across the street into saloon,

W. III. II. Curtis, well known in this
corner of the tate, writes to the Troy
Chief from Cheyenne agency, Indian
Territory: IF that country oklahoma
was thrown open for settlement, It
would be flooded by thousands Of poor
people, who would better themselves by
dying, and before twelve months a cry
would be heard going up FROM the half-
clothed and starving settlers, calling for
food and raiment from the friends they
had left behind. The Country would
have to undergo climatic change be
fore it could be farmed, even il the soil
was good, which It is not, as the rains
are so Irregular. These lines are not
paid for; they may not please the okla
homa boomers, but neither are they
written in the interest of the cattle men.

At recent wedding reception in South
Carolina young lawyer begged leave to
offer new scheme of matrimony, which
he believed would be beneficial. He pro-
posed '.that one man In the company should
be selected President; that this President
should be duly sworn to keep entirely
secret al communications that should be
forwarded to him in his official department
that night and that each unmarried gentle
manor lady should write his or her name
on piece of paper and under it the name
of the person they wished to marry, then
hand it to the President for inspection, and
If any gentleman. and lady had recipro-
cally chosen each other the President was
to inform each of the result and those who
had not been reciprocal in their ch oice kept
entirely secret" After the appointment of
the President communications were accord
ingly handed up to the chair, and it was
found that twelve young ladies and gem
tlemen had made reciprocal choices, but
whom they had chosen remained a secret

This week we received a card from
the postmaster at Smith Center, notify
ing us that the Chief addressed to Dan
Relihan was not taken out of the Office,
and for us to discontinue the same. This
was the order of Dan ReIihan, district
clerk Of Smith county. There are many
low, dirty skunks in tins world, and the
lowest of them all is the man who will
take paper nearly year, owing for it,
and then order it discontinued. When
Dan Relihan comes up and pays us what
is due on the paper, we Will gladly
'stop it.r-IIarlan Chief.
The proprietor of the News does not
have TO go beyond the bounds of Els
worth City to find persons who have
played this same small game. To the
editorial fraternity we ask, what do you
think of men who pretend TO be high
up M in their social relations, who
would take paper for one year and
six months, and then from any cause,
order it stopped without paying for ii?
Doesn't itlook little and mean? But
such Is the lite of an editor. He can
only console himself with the reflection,
that he has such persons spotted "for
future reference" as Gebhart said in
the resolutfon.-Ellsworth News.
And the Press can also give testimony
that there are men in Mcpherson and
Mcpherson county who have owed us
for over two years and have had the lit
ueness to have the postmaster send
back their papers-as ''refusedr or
don't want it," OF "never subscribed
for it." To these we will give fair no.
tico of their indebtedness and then If
they don't pay, we shall not only pub
lish their names, but IL they are worth
/ it, we shall sue and collect the debts by
law. The man who will defraud a
county newspaper man out Of his hard
earned mites is worse than liar and a
thief.-McPherson Press.
The Sun, too. as was indicated in our
last issue, is not without its dead beats,
and persons who have taken the paper
nine months or year, without paying
anything, and then inform thepostmas-
ter that II is mot wanted" VIII have
things made pretty warm for them, just
as an introduction TO what such sharks
viii have to undergo in 1.-THE kingdom
to come."-Saratoga Sun.
