only short time ago vas reading an
article on etiquette in my infallible
guide, entitled, "Before and after the
marriage engagement" I will lend the
Magazine to you, which will answer all
Your questions. And now that you are
contemplating marriage, let me give you
little advice, do not start of like your
mother did, to always depend on others
for her information. Your mother always
says "go ask Aunt Jane" she knows
everything. Well, am egotistical enough
to admit that ] can generally give infor-
nation Cd almost every subject that
comes up in the home circle, and yet
will tell you oandidly that every bit of my
household knowledge has been gained
from reading Democrats Monthly Maya
zine; it covers absolutely every point In
terestiDg to a family, and without it
would be lost for answers to your numer-
Gus questions. Every mother should take
it, and every girl like you who is contem-
plating starting new home, should put
that down as the fis7 requisite. May be
you think my praise is too strong. Well!
try for yourself. You say you want a
pattern of that jacket have just finish
ed. Unfortunately mine is too large for
you, but see that w. Jennings Demorest,
publisher of Demorests Monthly Maya
zine, is offering to send specimen copy
of the Magazine fo, ten cents. Send for
one and you will get your pattern for
nothing, for each Magazine contains
pattern order emitting the holder to the
selection of any pattern in stock and of
any size manufactured. Don't think by
this that Democrats is Fashion Maya
zine, for it is not. Its fashion depart
ment is perfect, as are all its other de-
partments, but James is as anxious for
it's arrival each month as am myself. 1t
is simply a perfect Family Magazine,
worth ten times the subscription price,
which is only two dollars per year. If
you are thinking of subscribing for
magazine for the coming year, be sure
and send ten cents for a specimen of
Demorest's Monthly Magazine before de-
Gliding.

"Mr. Meeson is dead" said Augusta,
screwing up her courage to interrupt this
orgie.

surprise, which Johnnie broke.

cough; sis he? Well, good job, too, says

herself somewhat with the reflection
that, on the whole, Mr. Meeson dead was
not so bad as Mr. Meeson in the animated
flesh.
Presently the night set in once more,
and, worn out with all that she had gone
through, Augusta said her prayers and
went to sleep with little Dick locked fast
Ia her arms.
Some hours afterward she was awakened
by loud and uproarous shouts made up Of
snatches of drunken songs and that pecu1-
lar class of English that hoYers ever round
the lips of the British Tar. Evidently Bill

this condition were taking the midnight
air.

words intended to strike terror to the

each explained that their 'ads' had brought
them Immediate notice of valuable horses
advertised for as strayed or stolen; that the
animals had all been recovered thereby at
mere nominal expense after days of riding
the range had been wasted, we have thought
II the newspaper mans tnrE to extract com
fort from the remark. The Kleinschmidr &
Co. horses were found in the neighborhood
of French Gnlch, we believe, and Harry e.
Reeves, of Washington Gnlch, notified John
Bielenberg thai his horse was there. There
seems little doubt he was stolen from the

vicinity of Reyes and turned loose BY some
one jumping the country. On the night OF

Inter- Mountain, to be a professional wife
beater. Last Sunday he continued his per-
formances and threatened to take his wife's
life until officers arrived and quoted him
down. After they left he again beat her,
when she finally got a six shooter, and on his
renewal of hostilities fired a couple of shots
over his head, the last one creasing him. He
then Quoted down, while Mrs. Dunn went
to Butte, got out a warrant and had him
arrested. He was released Tuesday on bail
to appear Monday next. He then went
home and on Wednesday Mrs. Dunn tele-
eraphed Sheriff Lloyd he had again beat her,
Notwithstanding her warnings to desist, and
that she had shot him in self-defense. He
was still living. Mrs. Dunn is aged about
Is and her husband about 80 years. They
have no children. 1t looks in this instance
as though the woman was competent to take
care of herself.
