why Girls DO Not Marry.


A prominent woman physician of Boston
has freely expressed her conviction that the
great superiority in culture of so many of
the young girls of to-day over that of the
average men who 90 early into business,
eXerts one very bad effect-namely: that
these young girls do not want to marry
such men. There is no doubt a great deal
of truth in the statement. In fact. in other
departments it has always been noticed that
one of the standing ill effects of tie culture,
say. of flowers, has been to make its votary
prefer tea rose to a head Of cabbage; or,
of music, to prefer harmonious orchestra
to discordant street band; or, of religion.
to prefer piety to profanity. Now, there is
no reason why the rule should not work
equally in the case of marriage. The maxim
that ''any husband is better than no hus-
band' had once great deal of truth in it,
for the condition of the unmarried woman
was in bygone days forlorn one. She
could no more help growing sour than milk
in thunder storm. Any and every woman
with the most significant sprig of husband
could turn up her nose at her and embody
weight of public opinion in her con-
temptuOus attitude that few single unfor-
tunates could have the dignity and self-re
spect to stand UP against. To-day, how
ever, the scales tip the other way with a
vengeance.

But She Thrashed the Boys.
t. Louis Globe-Democrat.

st. Louis GlOOe-DemOcrat.
News has reached st. Joseph of a shoot
ing affray which occurred at Flag Springs,
Mo. The parties to the affair were Mis-
Alice Woodcock. teacher of the district
school. and three of her pupils, three boys
the Oldest 10 and the youngest S-named
ElrOd and MulleniX. two of the last named
being brothers. The teacher. as punish
ment, was attempting to compel the younger
MulleniX to kiss another boy. He refused
and she attempted to whip him. when his
brother told her he would shoot her if she
didn't quit. The teacher then turned her
attention to the elder brother. when the
younger Elrod handed him a pistol. This
Mullenix pointed at the teachers breast and
pulled the trigger. The pistol was not dis
charged. and the teacher closed with the
young man. who tried it again, putting a
bullet through Miss Wuodc0ck's hand.
Despite the wound. the teacher succeeded
in thrashing all three of the young ruff
fans. As soon as school was out they ran
away, and got as far as Barnard. where
they were arrested and returned to the
Springs. The wound in Miss Woodcock's
hand is a serious one.

English Law of Gambling; Debts.
London Times.


Yesterday afternoon dec. u at the
Bloomsbury county court his honor Judge
Bacon gave judgment in the Important case
of JaeQuinda vs. Austin, heard three weeks
ago. 1t was an action to recover ell. al
, legged to be owing on an l. 0. Z. given by
the defendant under the following peculiar
circumstances:
Plaintiff was, in 1885, secretary to the
Supper club, which was carried ON in prem
ises close to the Langham hotel, and the
defendant is shipbIoker. The plaintiff
! alleged that while acting as secretary of
the club the defendant borrowed the sum
of e11 for private purposes, and that he
(plaintitf) paid the money in gold and e5
note. The defense was that the Supper
club was nothing less than gambling
hell" The subscription to the club was
"a As, and this entitled the member to
play at baccarat. and this game. defend
ants solicitor commended, was an unlawful
game.
Evidence was then given by the de-
PENDANT that play was permitted to 90 on
until the early hours of the morning. and
that very large sums were frequently staked
and lost. The plaintiff had acted as a
croupier or president of the gaming table;
the ell was paid not in coin or notes, but
in counters, in order to enable him to con-
tinue playing baccarat. at which that same
evening he had already lost considerable
sum Of money. Since that night defend

ant never played again at the Supper club.
but he acknowledged that he did not now
believe he had been cheated at play. He
had, however. suffered serious losses, ow-
ing to the commercial depression, and his
office furniture had been seized for rent.
He thought that his legitimate creditors
ought to be satisfied before he paid debt
which was contracted to carry on what he
now believed to be an unlawful game.
Wildey Wright, for the plaintiff. argued
that baccarat was not an unlawful game.
The opposing legal gentleman, however,
cited the case of the Park club, which, he
asserted. had been shut up by the police
because baccarat had been played there.
The judge, who reserved his decision,
said he thought it was perfectly clear that
the money was loaned for the purpose of
its being played at baccarat that night.
Whether it was loaned in money or coun-
tiers nattered little. Then came the ques.
ton whether that was a legal contract
which could be recovered in court Of
law. In the case of Jameson and TurpiD
the judges had laid down that bacearat
is an unlawful game. Justice Hawkins
had distinctly decided that it was unlawful.
The money, therefore, could not be recov-
cred in court of law, and Judgment would
be entered for the defendant, costs to be
taxed.

RUGGED BY A BEAR.
Mrs. BoxEman's Successful Struggle
With u Forest Monster.


When Mrs. Martha Bowman. Of the Cats
kill region, stepped into her out-kitchen the
other day, attracted by noise made, as she
supposed, by her husband moving about the
roorn, she found instead OF Mr.. Bowman a
great black bear reared upon his hind legs
and eating refuse from pail on the table.
Mrs. Bowman lives in bear-hunting re-
gion, and she was not scared. She simply
picked up a broom and gave the bears
shaggy head resounding whack. The
brute turned angrily upon her. and in a
moment Mrs. Bowman received a hug such
as she had not known since Nh. Bowman
went accounting. The broom was broken,
her stays were strained, and tinware, fire.
wood, dried fruit and refuse were soon
Strewn in cOnglOmerate fashion on the
kitchen floor. Mrs. BOwman's waltz in
bruins clutch was short but most fatiguing.
and when she finally escaped it was with
shortened breath and rumpled petticOats
gathered in both hands. Having closed and
bolted the door behind her she paused mo
ment for breath. seized her husbands rifle
and. stationing herself at window that
commanded the Kitchens outer door,
awaited bruins exit. Presently ont came
the bear. and Mrs. Bowman, taking steady
aim, sent bullet after HIN. The brute
fell with roar of pain but was quickly up
and staggering toward the forest.
When Mr.. Bowman came home he found
his wife in fainting fit upon the floor with
the rife by her side. She was brought to
her senses ard her story told. Next morn
ing the bear was found dead amid pool of
his own blood few rods from the house.
He weighed 29S pounds. Mrs. Bowman is
slowly recovering from her rude squeeze
and is now the heroine of the region.

A BOOTBLACK,S FORTUNE.
He WON IL More by Perseverance, an
pluck Than by Good Luck.

pluck Than by Good Luck.
Santa Rosa Democrat.
A little over seven years ago. boot
black from San Francisco wandered to this
city. During the six months that he was
around our streets, he made many friends
through his quiet. respectful manner and
intelligent face. At last he disappeared
from our city as quietly had been his ar
rival. No one knew whittier or whv he
had gone, as he had made no col tidants
while here and kept his business to himself.
Last Saturday he returned to this city from
the northern country on his way to San
Francisco. But not as bootblack. The
bright, intelligent-faced boy had developed
into tall. y-proportiOned man with
snn-burned, happy countenance. The
change is accounted for in the following
story told by himself:
He had started from San Francisco in the
spring of 1879. with the intention Of going
to the northern counties to take up land.
He had left all of his earnings. which he
had been saving up for the purpose, with
his mother and younger brother. and
started out to work his way by boat: but
that failed and he was compelled to travel
overland. At the end of his six months
stay here he left with $40. He did not
stop to add further to his eXchequer until
his.arrivaI in the Mendocin ocounty. There
again he was almost disheartened in
learning that he was not old enough to
take ND land. But he made a VOW that he
would not return to his mother in the big
city until he could bring more money than
he had given her on his departure. Days
heightened into weeks, and still no
regular employment, and would
have starved without the aid of some of the
citizens to whom he told his story. At last
he Glanced to meet with a tall, rough
bearded man. who subsequently proved to
be his benefactOr in a most singular manner.
The man. whose name was Randolph, was
intoxicated, and would have fallen over
steep grade had he not reached him just in
time. Fearing TO let Randolph go home
a one, he accompanied him up a steep and
tOrtuouS mountain trail to his cabin, stu
ated on the border of his claim of 100 acres.
which was covered thickly with valuable
timber. Although Randolph loved liquor
he carried within his breast the warlnest of
hearts. and on learning the lad had saved
him, and also of his little benefac-
tors forlorn plight, he would not
listen to his leaving him. Four years
passed, during which Randolph and the
bootblack worked together. The cabin
was transformed into a cosy little dwelling.
The possessions OF Randolph. which are
now shared equally between him and his
DrOtege, were increased to 500 acres; roads
and tramways have been constructed. and
stalwart wOodmen had cut a deep swath in
the timber. At the end of another three
years. which brings US up to the present
time. other improvements have been made,
and the little bootback is returning to his
mother and little brother after all these
years rich merchant. The firm Of Ran
dolph & Co, is estimated to be worth
$50, 900.

never been better at this season. There
was such rivalry anon . leading stores to

WAHPEToN, Oak, Dec. 26.-The fire.
mems fair was the principal holiday attrac-
ton in Wahpeton this year. commencing
Wednesday evening and concluding Friday
evening. Each night the fair was well pat
ronzed. and considerable money was taken
for lotteries and voting. The principal

Christmas tree and the voting for the most
beautiful lady in Wahpeton, the latter real
iZing 500 or more, and was won by Miss
Schornbon. After voting and disposal by
auction Of articles remaining unSold, a

During the progress of the fair, on the last

presented with E I'D watch as mark OF
esteem from few friends of her real
merit. which reduced the said young lady
to tears. as it was total surprise; and very

Law BOOKS at SIOUX Fails,

Sioux Falls claims the houor of having
the finest law library in Dakota. The COM
plete reports of twenty-three States are in
town, and the United States and supreme
court reports as well. All the best text
books are in the private Libraries and the
choicest of the English reports are in the
city. The reports of the leading states are
duplicated in many instances but in the
future the new purchases will be the re-
ports of states not yet represented. which
are those of the South. This fine showing
has been made possible by the incorpora-
tion of the Sioux Falls Law Library asso-
citation nearly year since. and the enter
prise has prospered beyond the expectation
of the attorneys. Instead of duplicating
the reports of the various states. the money
which would have been thus expended has
been used in the purchase of reports not in
town, and with great success. The assO-
citation is not only popular. with the resi-
dent attorneys. but those in adjoining

Mrs. Henry ward Beeeher.
New York Star.


Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has contracted
with an English publisher to write series
of articles on topics relating to women for
a religious periodical. Although several
years beyond the three score and ten limit,
Mrs. Beecher is continuously engaged in
literary work besides attending to nearly all
of her famous husbands large correspond
ence. But few letters reach Mr.. Beecher's
hands direct, they being read almost invari-
ably by his wife before they are given to
him. By this method the preacher is saved
the trouble of reading hundreds of letters
that are worthless and written by that
species of humanity affectionately termed
''cranks." Mrs. Beecher retains all the
brightness of the earlier years of her
womanhood, and frequently the student
lamp on her desk is not extinguished until
long after the hour of midnight has passed
and her husband has retired.
