Office boy of our esteemed contempo-
rary is, in the EDITORS absence, still
trying to palm himself off on the COM
munity as his intelligent and well'in-
formed principal" Now everybody
must admit that this is a great advance
upon the custom which formerly OBJ
tanned of speaking of brother editor
as "the empty-headod sycophant
across the way" or "the presiding
iackass of the low-down menagerie
whose vile smelling odors pollute the
surrounding atmosphere. But it is
terribly severe on the Office boy.

A FRIEND IN NEED.

Ethel and l are cousins, and both or
pbans; but, as is frequently the case
with daughters OF one race, we are
as unlike as we well can be, for while
she is decidedly '1airer in the face,
she is an heiloss as well. AS TO dis
position, there we differ, too; for,
while am spunky-so aunty mildly
puts it-and have an opinion of my
own which is frequently asserted, she
is yielding, gentle amiability itself.

we were invited to visit together an
old uncle who had lived in solitary
bachelorhood up to the advanced age
of eighty years.
Joan, what would you do with
money if it were left to you?" he ask

.'Why, spend it, of course" l re-
piled, without hesitation.
Now, nothing had been further from
my thoughts than disrespect; but that
answer certainly cost me the fortune
which only six months later came to
Ethel That happened two years ago,
and since then Ethel has had and re-
fused five offers of marriage, although
she has just passed her eighteenth
birthday. am twenty, and have had
as yet not one single proposal.
"You are too sarcastic, Joan, Ethel
saws. Gentlemen do not like critical
young ladies'"
"Then they should not lay them
selves open to criticism, l reply,

It's because I'm plain, and beside you
look even palmer still"

she says:

4 Romantic Affair.

a romantic scandal has just leaked
out within the precincts Of the staiI old
town OF New Milton, W. Va. and has
set people by tho ears. The principals
are two rival society bellies. An affair Of
honor. It appears, arose between them
and was settled with swords in the bona
tiLe French mode.
Miss Matte Demontery is the daughter
OF rich stock raiser. She is daisy
hrunett, educated abroad, and her velvet
eyes have pierced the soul of many male
admirers. Tho only rival she owns in
the social field Is Miss Grace Dare. a
blonde. equally dashing and accomplish.
ed. Two months ago announcement was
made Of the engagement OF Miss Demon
terry no Mr.. VIM. +. Appleton, cashier of
the New Milton bank \ month passed
and the engagement was mysteriously
broken. and ten days later the rival Of
Miss DemOntery Miss Dare--was known
to New Milton as the fiance Of the pre-.
snmably tickle Mr.. Appleton.
At a ball recently given here the two
beauties met. Just what occurred ia not
definitely known, except that the two
left the ball room hastily and surrepti-
tlousIy, Win DlaZlng eyes, ana without
their escorts. What followed il alleged
to have transpired about two miles from
town. in a cleared space in the woods.
and bv the romantic moonlight Both
were fine h0rsewomen, and they gallop-
eel thither, with their seconds and swords
to settle their trouble according to the
code. The names Of the seconds are not
known, but they are said to be gay girl
friends Of the principals. The ground
was chosen. the swords measured, and
the two fair amazOns removed their pro-
tecting corsets. Fencing being q fash
ionable accomplishment, both handled
the glittering blades with murderous
skill, while the seconds stood apart and
shivered together.
The outcome Of the duel 10 not known.
as the ladies have not been visable since,
and the greatest effort has been made by
their respective families to hush up the
affair. It 10 not believed either Of the
duellists were hurt beyond few
scratches.

tory located in the suburbs of the town.
Nellie's people were of old southern
stock, proud Of their family record,
wealthy for the locality and holding a
prominent position in that section of
the state. This with Nelie's beauty
made her a local belle that brought
numerous offers of marriage to her, to
all of whom she answered no.
Frank Gilmore was northern man,
added to his being a mechanic. caused
Nellie's people to look down upon him
and not to regard him as a suitable
match for her. hence her affection for
Frank was not encouraged by any of
her family. This made Nellie more
ardent in return for the warm. earnest
love that Frank laid at her feet.
Frank was a union man which at that
time was sufficient to socially Ostracse

that hung around every household. was

curtain of thCry0ung love bch;ndwhi
they walked in bl,sful innocence.
In the midst of this condition of seem

sectional passions WAS on the eve of
raining destruction on the entire coun-
