IChuutauqua IN. ~ Lefter.l
I tell you that from careful observation
and actual count there are Just forty -four
young ladies at Chautauqua where there
is one young man. AT the approach of
nearly every steamer to the Cbautauqua
dock during the week bevy of maidens
fair and sweet, crowded around with spy-
glasses and opera glasses in their hands,
anxiously gazing at the decks of the ap-
preaching steamer, looking for the possi-
bic coming of some more young men. 1t
is absolutely unsafe for a young man to
stroll about here alone and unprotected.
To walk down one of the avenues, like
Palestine or Simpson avenue, alone, all
alone with ones self, and to pass by cot
tage after cottage whose balconies are
crowded with heavenly beings dressed in
white lawns and dainty tinted wrappers,
is really and truly sort of soul torture.
One must close his eyes and think of 9th :
er things, or other worlds, and-well,
simply walk on about his business, and
walk all-fred fast at that

USED THE REVOLVER.
How Resolute Woman Put a Bold High
wayDnan to Flight
\ Z

Lewiston (Me.) Letter.l
Mrs. Kate NJ. Pincin, OF East Monmouth,
who has lately been visiting her sister In
Auburn, and is, perhaps, forty years old,
and of fine physique, tells story of a re-
cent attack upon her by a highway robber
while on her way from Augusta. Mrs.
Pincin started from Monmouth and drove
to Gardiner, where she left her team, took
freight train to Augusta, and called at
the pension office there for the money
which was due her-about fifty dollars.
"Are you not afraid that somebody will
rob your" asked the folks at home that
morning before she started. "The road
to Gardiner" they said, sis full of dark
places, and you are alone and a woman,
and it is dangerous"
She thought there was no danger, and
declined to Inconvenience any one else by
the trip. She also declined to take a revol-
yer. Her father, however, took down the
revolver, loaded it, put it in a snug place
under the wagon-seat, and told her to use
it IL occasion demanded. Mrs. Pincin
hardly thought of the revolver until she
stood by the desk in the pension office
counting her money. At this time her
eyes caught those of a man who had been
greedily watching her as she counted it.
She put the money in her pocket and
watched the man as he turned on his heel
and walked to another part of the Office.
She didn't see him again in Augusta or on
the train to Gardiner.
Mrs. Pin Gin drove along until she had
passed Spears corner, when she heard a
horse coming behind her as though driven
at full speed. She started her own
horse a little, but the coming horse
was faster than her own. She looked
around and at first glance was startled,
for she thought she recognized the man
whom she had seen at the office in Angus.
ia. She kept on, driving the horse
in the middle of the road, the other
every minute coming nearer. The place
was secluded and well calculated for rob-
berry. The man drove up so that his
horses head Tapped the wheel Of Mrs. Pin
Gins buggy and then turning to one side
of the road drove quickly by. When q
rod ahead he pulled up, jumped out and
grabbed her horse by the bride, stopping
his own at once.
"What do you wantf" said Mrs. Pincin.
81 want that money" was the reply.
Fork 1t over"
As the highwayman turned to look at
his horse, and again at her, he suddenly
noticed that he was looking into the muz-
! zle OF cooked revolver. There was no
trembling in the hand that held it, either.
There was a look of resolution, too, in her
face, for, as she expressed it, she was not
frightened, only 'just mad all the way
through" The man, with an oath, let his
hand drop from the bride, and jumped
into his own buggy
snow, sir, you turn toward Gardiner"
said Mrs. Pincin, her revolver still cover
ing him at every movement.
The resolute woman watched the man
from the minute he dropped her bride
rein until he had turned the wagon and
was a hundred yards back on the road on
his way to Gardiner. Then she picked up
the reins, tucked the revolver under the
seat, and drove home to East Monmouth.

CHILDISH PLUCK.
Courage and Perseverance OF Little Boy
Aged Two and Half Years.
IIndianapolIs SentinelI

indianapolis SentinelI
The little child of Jesse Green, a farmer
residing in the southern part of this coun-
ty, had an experience yesterday which Is
seldom equaled in the annals of narrow
escapes from death, and If there is any
thing in childish pluck, the hero of the in :.
cident is entitled TO n full measure of
praise for his courage and perseverance.
The incident is all the more remarkable
from the fact that the hero is but two and
a half years of age. Early yesterday
morning neighbor passing near the
house heard the cries of a child as though
in distress, and stopped at the house and
asked Mrs. Green where the baby was.
She replied that she supposed that he was
at the barn with his father, and the neigh.
Dor said: 81 heard him crying, and thought
maybe he had gotten lost in the strip OF
woods across the road" This excited the
mother, and she went to the barn TO In /.
quire after the cLild. The father had not
seen the baby, and, together with the
neighbors, the parents started out IN
search Of the infant. The strip of woods
was searched, hut the child could not be-
found, thought faint answers to the moth
er's calls could be distinguished.
Despairing of finding the child in the
woods, the searching party turned toward
the house, and as they neared it the cries
became more distinct. Following up the
direction whence the sounds came the par
ty approached the stock well, and for the
first time it dawried upon them that the
cries came from the WELL Approaching
and looking do ~n the parents saw the in
FAINT clin ging to the brick woll while ts
! little body was entirely slLm erged, the
head only being above the water 1t WAS
the work of few moments till the child
was rescued, badly chilled by the cold
water in which it had been for thirty min
utes or more.
An examination of the well showed that
1t was about twenty three feet deep, seven
of which was water. The child had fallen
through the loose board covering over the
well, and had been entirely submerged.
When it reached the surface IL held its
head above The water by clinging to o
! couple of bricks with which the well was
walled up, and from between which the
mortar had crumhTed away. In this posi-
ZION 1t had leUaIned during the entire
time its parents were engaged in the
search.

A curious natural phenomenon that pug

the town of Dubois, in Washington Coun-
ty-just when nobody knows A large
body of earth, chiefly sand, by some ac-
tion of nature, was removed from the side
of dry sandy hill, called the Pineo field,
leaving an open channel or hole extend
ing into the hill about 200 feet, being 30
feet deep'at the head and perhaps 70 or 80
feet wide, as near as it could be judged
without measuring. After the sand In It's
course left the base of the hill land here
the channel was contracted ond quite mar

piece OF woods, spreading over q wide
space, burying the underbrush and leav-

A good story is told OF one OF our local
politicians who was canvassing for the
nomination for a county Office. One after
noon be attended a meeting in an out
township, and meeting an intelligent
young man whom he thought might have
some influence, walked up 10 him and
shook him warmly by the hand, inquir-
ing: "How is your fatheri" The v. m.
answered: "My father has been dead
three years" Indeed" replied the cam
didate, Il had not heard of it. knew
him intimately. He was one of my best
friends, and l regret to hear it. He was
one of the best and purest men I ever
knew. You have my sympathy" etc.
The same evening he met the same person
in village near by, and having forgotten
bis face, accosted him the second time
with the interrogatory: "How is your
father!" The young man looked at him
for q moment and said: "He Is still
dead" and walked of.
