Modern Maidens.

The Detroit Free Press is moved to
excaim as follows: What an immense
contrast there is between the maidens
of to-day and those of three or four
generations agol Where one dies of
too much study twenty died day before
yesterday, so to say, of too thin slippers.
The girls of to-day have eschewed those
slippers, and with them the infantile
short sleeves and low necks of the old
daily wear. Their walking shoes are as
thick-soled as mems brogans; they use
them vigorously, too, for they have
learned that life and health are of more
consequence than the admiration of
chance men for slender foot daintily
shod. They do not allow their skirts to
become dragged about the ankles and
they would as soon think of melting
pearls in their drinking cups, if they
had them, as of sitting with wet feet.
They wear flannels, too, at whose thick
ness their grandmothers and great
grandmothers would have shuddered
and without which they themselves
would 90 shuddering. They battle
seven times, not to say three hundred
sixty-five times, more frequently and
thoroughly than the departed damsels
did, and they eat what they want, and
not what some male individual, adoring
the ethereal, thinks is about enough
for them to eat and remain delicate.
The dear departed ones believed that
pretty palor and interesting peakedness
and pipe-stem belts were the chief re-
quirements of personal appearance
the modern girls believe that firm
muscle, deep chest, free motion and
ruddy color are the correct wear"

A Day in June.

white daisies are beating their symbols
All over the meadows to-day,
And clouds like the fleece of a lambkin
Across the wide skyocean stray
The brooklets, those fair gypsy minstres,
Are singing low songs meath the trees,
The green boughs are murmuring sweetly
As they rock in the arms of the breeze.
The bees in their jackets of velvet,
Jet black with girdle of gold,
Wind their horns as they swing the red clover
The grasshoppers gossip and scold
Like turbulent shrews The brown sparrow,
Now and then from her nest on the ground,
Blows a note on her flute, then is silent
From the hillside the thrushes rebound.
An anthem in low, dreamy voices
Affair, on the rim of the lake,
A gray loon keeps calling and calling,
Mid the sedges that tremble and shake.
There's scent in the air of wild roses,
And the breeze from invisible Wings
The odor of resinous pne-trees
Abroad DER the wide valley filings.
o day so MISUNDERSTANDING
Words can not thy beauty display
No Inner with hand howeer cunning,
A 1.-THE of thy grace can portray.

A MADMAN AT LARGE.-He is a we'll
known citizen, and his nearest and
dearest friends do not suspect his in
sanity. How do we happen to know
about it? Listen; his appetite is gone,
he is low-spirited, he don't sleep well
he has night-sweats, he is annoyed by
a hacking cough. These symptoms are
the forerunners of consumption and
death, and yet he neglects them. Is it
any wonder that we call him mailman?
If you are his friend tell him to get a
bottle of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery without delay. 1t will cure
him if he takes it in time. 1t will not
miraculously create new lungs when
the old ones are nearly gone, but ii
will restore diseased ones to healthy
condition. Tell him about it and warn
him that in his case delay means death

fact that the sale of DR.. Pierce's Pleas

they are purely vegetable and perfectly

THE WRONG KID.
A Young Man who Had jail Experi-
ence.

On Saturday last the description of a
party who is alleged to have stolen a
horse belonging to John Mccoy who re-
sides on Pumpkin creek, was sent to
Cheyenne, and the officers here were re-
quested to look out for and arrest him.
Deputy Sheriff G. B. Moore found the
right party as was then supposed, and
took him into custody. The young man,
or kid, as he might properly be called,
gave his mann as Scott Clark, and he
anawered the description in every detail.
The young fellow was taken to Jail and
locked up, but that did not seem to dis
turb his serenity at all. He stated that
he knew nothing of the horse, cared moth
ing about him, but if they wanted to lock
him up it was all right, for by so doing he
would get his board anyhow, and in re-
gard to this matter he wrote by way of
emphasis IN a piece of paper found lying
on the floor in the sheriff office, st
beats hel how hard times is"
Word was at nee sent to the owner of
the missing horse and yesterday parties
who knew the kid who is alleged to have
done the stealing came into town and were
shown the boy whom Nh. Moore arrested.
He filed the bill exactly SO far as descrip-
ton went, but the parties who came for
the purpose of identifying him said at
once that he was not the culprit, hat
although he looked like him this boy was
not the one wanted at all. Young Clark
was therefore turned loose yesterday and
went his way Just as though nothing had
happened.

AN ACTORS DEATH BED
A Peculiarly Sad Sight on a Bur
lington Train.
VIM. Davidge Suddenly Expires Sur,
rounded by His Fellow Actors.
The Madison Square Company Sus,
tains a Serious Loss.

At 1915 o'clock this morning the Bur
lington train from the East pulled into the
DEPOT. Among the coaches was a through
sleeper containing twenty-five members of
the A. Nj. Palmer Madison Square com
pany OF New York bound for San Fran
cisco. At that hour everybody aboard
was in the best Of health and spirits; ten
minutes later one of the actors was dead.
Among the actors was William Dav-
idge, one of the best known of theatrical
people, the leading old man of the Madi-
son Square company. Up to midnight a
group of the younger men and Davidge
had been gathered in the smoking room of
the coach singing songs and telling stories.
Davidge, who was a man about rs years
old and rather corpulent in build, seemed
In a particularly cheerful mood and Joined
in the singing and story telling with great
zest.
About midnight the party separated for
their various berths. When the train
reached Cheyenne Davidge was lying in his
berth and soon after began to groan heavi-
ly. Several members of the company
went to his assistance. He complained
Of hcaviness in his chest and difficulty Of
breathing. Amustard plaster was placed
on his breast but he rapidly grew worse.
In response to a request for more air he
was removed to the smoking room.
Great God" exclaimed the old man who
apparently had a premonition Of his dis
solution, ''am [ going to die away out in
this country" Every second he seemed
to grow worse. General Agent Vallery,
of the Burlington, who reached the car
about this time, hastily sent for a doctor,
but he had scarcely done so before Dav-
idge gasped out God bless us all" and
with a sudden shudderlng motion passed
away.
DR.. Marston reached the scene a few
moments atterward and pronounced the
death due to failure of the heart brought
about by f~eebleness of the patient and
overstinulation caused by the altitude.
Arrangements were at once made for
the embalment of the body which will be
sent to Brooklyn for interment. Mr..
Davidge leaves two daughters and a
grown up son who is in the profession.
He had long been a noted actor in this
country, and three years ago celebrated
the semi-centennial of his connection with
the stage.
At 4:30 the special coach containing the
Palmer company was transferred to the
Union Pacific flyer and the members sadly
resumed their journey to the coast.
