Found Her Boy.
Montrose Democrat, Oct. 81.

MontT0Se Democrat Oct. IL
On last Monday afternoon tramp
arrived in the city accompanied by
little boy, who was very respectfully
dressed, while the tramp was very
sloven and ragged. The tramp while
near the depot was taken with several
spasmodic fits caused by his skull be-
ing crushed in at some time from
some cause. InterrogatiOns were put
to the little fellow and it was ascer-
tanned that they had started from
St. Louis some time ago and were
on their way to Colbert Station, In
dian Territory, where they expected
to get employment herding. A Z;
Mcclellan, city marshal, suspiciOned
all was not right and purswaded the
little fellow to remain here and live
with him, whicd he consented to do,
and az soon as the bum was able he
was put on the train and shipped south,
thus separating them.
The boy gave his name as Harry
Jackson and said his parents were
dead and that he he'd subsisted by
selling newspapers in st. Louis. The
marshal was not satisfied with this
explanation and wrote description
of the lad to the chief of police IL
St. Louis, who had not yet opened
the letter when the mother of the boy
came into the police headquarters in
search of her child. She took the
first train and arrived here this morn
ing and went to the residence of th'
marshal, where the. meeting OF TN
mother and child was very effective
The lady gave her name as Mile
and residence as Chicago. She say
Harry left home two weeks ago to day
with two other boys but they returned
home in a short time and she has beer
on the search day and night for tw
: weeks and at last the object OF ne
search was found in good hands, an'
relief was brought to her burdene'
heart. The lady was very Thankful
to the marshal and wife for thei
kindness. She will return home t.
night with her prodigal son, who
but II years old.

The Land Of Slippers.

The Turks and the inhabitants of
lands under Turkish domination wear
slippers a great deal. The slipper
sQurishes in a great variety of forms
Under the crescent. The MOhammed-
ans are nearly all fine leather workers
and their slippers, boots and shoes evil
dence their skill. A light slipper is
generally worn inside the outdoor boot
or shoe. Just as the Esquimaux wear an
inner boot Some Turkish shoes are
made with soles curving from the Gen.
ter toward the ends and also towards
the sides, so the Turk who wears them
can not only rock forward, like the
Chinaman, but can rock backward or
sidewise. The Mohammedsns have
many fantastic forms of shoes and
seem to fancy very much shoes with
long pointed toes turned or curved up.

Long, almond-shaped eyes, with

they are found in conjunction with a
brow which is full over the eyebrows,
and which has one deep perpendicular
line between the eyebrows. have
frequently noticed this combination in
the faces of distinguished literary men
and artists. The almOnd-Shaped eye,
however, even without this peculiar
form of forehead, always means a sus-
ceptible, impressionable nature. Eyes
which are large. open and very trans
parent. and which sparkle with rapid
motion under well defined eyelids, de-
note elegance in taste, somewhat sus-
eeptible temper and great interest in
the opposite sex. Eyes with weakly
marked eyebrows above them, and
with thinly growing eye-laShes which
are completely without any upward
curve. denote a feeble constitution and
melancholy disposition. Deep sunk
en- and small blue eyes under bony,
almost perpendicular forehead. are in
dicatiye of selfish and cold hearted
natures. Eyes which show not only the
whole of the iris but also some of the
white both above and below it, denote
a restless, uncertain nature, incapable

never seen in the face of highly in

kindly. truthful and innocent nature.
Ewes which (when seen in prOfile) are
so protuberant as to run almost paral-
lei with the profile of the nose, show 8

Notwithstanding the fact that there
is a general feeling against the loose
ness which cbaracterizes the marriage
tie and a decided condemnation of
practices which serve to break up this
bulwark of society, the home, through
the evils of the divorce court, there
are still plenty of moral lepers who
encourage immortality by lending aid
to schemes which take from marriage
its sacredness and beautiful purpose of
founding, in every sense, a haven
which shall serve as a refuge for fu-
ture generation. Such an individual
has of late figured in the vicinity OF
Valley Falls, Kansas. His name il
Harmon and he is a member of a
liberal league-strangely enough these
leagues are merely liberal in the di.
rectior of immorality-and recently
in accordance with the peculiar belief
of his sect he encouraged and aided
his young daughter in contracting
marriage with man named Walk.
er, who in connection with himself
has been publishing a liberal paper
entitled, LUCIFER. The marriage wa:
merely contract between the CIR
and her lover in the presence of wit
nesses, and when the good people
of the neighborhood found 1t out
they became indignant, and had thu
contracting couple arrested. A
present he languishes in Jail and sh
is playing the martyr act. 1t woulc
not appear to rational people that
father could so far forget his obliga
tons to his Creator and to society a
to warrant him in running the life o
his daughter but since he has don
so, some way should be found by tn
people of his vicinity to mete to hin
a punishment which will be adequat
to his ofense, and make him torswea
liberal views forever. The commun
ty, too, which tOlerates open an
avowed liberalism, which is only lii
eral toward certain forms of vice, hs
no business to claim fellowship wit
decent citizenship.

at Thirty-fourth street. one at Thirty
fifth, one at Thirty sixth and the other
at Thirty,seventh street-and they

Marriage and divorce was discussed
during the general convention of the
Protes tant Episcopal church in Chi
cago, and the committee recommend
ed adoption of the canon providing
that marriages not authorized by
Gods word are unlawful, and that
the ministers admonish their people
from time to time, that the church
forbids clandestine marriages that
the marriage may not be dissolved ex'
cept for adultery; that the guilty
party in divorce suit be prohibited
from marrying again during the life
of the other party. 1t will be seer

GEN. GUITARS CAMPAIGN

Gen. Guitars canvass of the Sixth
district, has been able, active and en-
ergetic. He is daily gaining strength,
end wherever he speaks, wins the
confidence and support of his fellow
citizens, irrespective of party affilia-
tons. The people discern the fact
that In Gen. Odin Guitar is found a
man who is worthy of their sufrages
for the exalted position of representa-
tive in the American congress; a
man who has acquired a name and
fame as a leader in the profession of
the law. and under all circumstances,
even while standing the glare of that
fierce light which always beats upon a
man in public and professional life
has never been found wanting in abil-
ity, integrity and fidelity. He has
never deserted or betrayed his friends.
All persons concede his pre-epinent
fitness for the position sought to be
conferred upon him, and that in his
election, would be administered n Sit.
ting rebuke to chicanery in politics,
and to the duplicity of the professional
politician. Gen. Guitar will speak
at Arrow Rock on Monday, Sturgeon
on Tuesday, Centralia on "Wednesday
and Ashland On Friday.

meetings, the attendance has beer
large, and the indications are al
quite fattering that the outlook il
