"When he came out by the door he was
buttOning the top OF his coat. 1t wss a
cutaway coat He had NO collar on. He
put his hand up TO his mouth, which was
bleeding on its riga. side. Az he passed

and muttered vile remark. said moth

"Just after he passed me he began ia
run. Then heard a cry in No. 19 and
saw a woman come down. She said tC

THREE OFFERS MADE
The Oherokees may try to Ignore the
Governments Offer.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 28.-When the
Cherokee council meets at Tahlequah. L
T., next week it will have three offers to
consider for the purchase of the Cherokee
strip. One will be made by the United
States Indian commission, which is
authorized to buy at 81. per acre. Austin
Blair & Co.. of Independence, Mo-, will
propose a new lease for fifteen years with
the optian of buying at the end of that
time The company agrees to pay
S2,OOOO0O in rents and s. per acre
for the 100000 acres should their offer
of purchase be accepted. The latter offer
has been standing for some time. Now
comes C. D. French, the agent Of an
eastern syndicate. who will present
through Chief Mayes, president of the
council. another offer based on graded
rents, the rental to increase with the APP
probation in the value of the land. This
offer also includes an option of purchase
at S1S,OOO.OO0
Each of these latter offers are better
than that made by the government, and it
is believed by the cattlemen here that the
Indians will refuse to accept the commits
sioners' terms.

Business Habits.

Every girl should learn business habits at
home while under her parents control The
mother who prefers to keep her daughter at
home should pay her for transacting domes-
tic duties as regularly as father would pay
his son whom he took into his store or Office
as clerk. The money she has earned she
should be allowed to spend with as little
criticism as possible, but deficit should
never be made up, and bill should never be
permitted. The cash system is the solution
Of the problem of domestic economy. It sets
at rest forever the idea that perhaps at the
end of the month two and two make five,
and it compels the buyer to estimate the
exact value of the thing bought. Two young
men were once looking at the moon and esti-
mating its apparent size. One said it looked
as small as a silver dollar. II tell you." said
the other impecunious youth, "a dollar looks
bigger to me than any moon that ever
shone." If we hold the dollar near enough
to the eye it will shut out many moons

How to Be Miserable.

There are persons whose lives are rendered
miserable by always contrasting their own
lot with those in easy circumstances. Many
a woman has grown petulant and lost the
charm of pleasant nature by dwelling on
the difference in her neighbor's silks and vel
vets and the palmer fabrics which her small
means compel her to wear. 1t is both foolish
and dangerous to allow such thoughts to dis
turb the serenity of ones mind 1t fosters
discomfort, and creates an ambition which
too often seeks evil ways for its qualification.
Each individuals life is distinctively his
own, and can be lived well and happily only
when his mind is sensibly adapted to the cir
cumstances which govern it.
There is something, however, to be envied.
Something both prettier and pleasanter than
costly equipages or fine dress; and that is-a
sunny, happy spirit. A wife and mother
with such a nature is worth more in helne
than all the elegant furnishings that money
can supply. She is the joy and ornament In
one.-Atlanta Constitution

SLAPPED BY THE MAYOR.
Prominent Kansas Cityans Come to Blows
Over Small Matter.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 2S.-Mayor Da-
venport slapped Congressman Tarsney fuil
in the face this afternoon and in return
nearly received a shot from the congress
mans revolver 1t was all on account of
the entertainment of the Pan-American
tourists who arrive here next Wednesday
morning.
A meeting was held at the commercial
club this afternoon to perfect arrange
ments for the entertainment of the dis
tinguished visitors. The mayor had vetoed
an ordinance passed by the city council
appropriating $1,000 to expend in enter
tanning the party. The council overrode
the veto and then the mayor ordered the
treasurer not to recognize drafts upon the
treasury for the purpose. During the dis
cussion this afternoon Congressman Tars-
ney referred in terms not very compli-
mentary to the mayors action.
Mr.. Davenport started to leave the room
and on doing so said, "If can help it not
any of the cIty's money shall be used lille
gally, but | will contribute from my own
purse as much as Mr.. Tarsney or any
other man for the entertainment of the
delegates"
Mr.. Tarsney replied: Il do not care to
resort to pot house methods"
This enraged Mr.. Davenport and in an
angry tone lie defied Congressman Tars-
ney to repeat the statement. Mr.. Tarsney
repeated it. The words were no sooner
out of his mouth when the mayor dealt
him a resounding slap full in the face. Mr.
Tarsney reached into his hip pocket to
draw his revolver, but friends prevented
him from using the weapon.

KILLED HIS DISGUISED BROTHER.

Worthwhile. n. Y, Oct ga young
named Oscar Barclay has made himself
notorious by his relations with two women
and his visits to the Darlington home
stead near this place. Barclay had been
warned repeatedly by his father and three
brothers but he paid no attention to them
and they decided TO teach him lesson.
Accordingly on Saturday night they dis
guised themselves as white caps and ac-
companied by about a dozen young men
similarly disguised, proceeded to Caring
tons residence. The party drove Caring
ton from the house, tarred and fearhered
him, placed him astride of rail and car
ricd him thus for quite a distance. Then
he was released and left to care for him :

house of young Barclay. AS they
came to the door he ran up stairs
and Selling musket which he levelled at
the leaders, ordered them to stop. His
command was unheeded and as the white
caps pressed forward he fired. One of the
white caps fell dead, the right side Of his
face and head having been blown to atoms.
The victim was found to be Fred Barclay
the youngest brother of Oscar. A mes
senger was at once sent for the coroner and
other persons were sent to notify the Judi
cial officers of the village of the tragedy.
Young Barclay made no effort to escape
and was taken into custody yeste rday.

Does It Pay.

In one Of the large towns of western state
two young ladies are suffering from lead poi

In both cases the fingers and arms are
paralyzed. If these unfortunate young wo-
men live, which is doubtful, they are, per-

Cases similar to the above are not infre-
quent from the use Of poisonous cosmetics. A
fresh, healthful complexion is to be desired
but its artificial counterpart is very unde-
sirable and does not deceive any observer.
The use Of powder and rouge is not only Of
fensive to the eye but leaves the skin sallow,
dry and rough, even if it produces no worse
results.

who began using drugs upon her eyes TO in

Such sufferers from their own foolishness
are not always young ladies' A gentleman
of 60 years died last week as a result of lead

An Anccdote OF the Late MIR. blanchard.
One of the deceased dramatist's cherished
anecdotes best illustrates the love he had for
tho past literary life of London and the link
with that past which has now been severed,
and the London correspondent of The Bir-
mingham Post happened to hear the story
from him on the night after the occurrence
to which it referred Some eight years ago
he was at the Arundel club, when an old
friend observed to him: Blanchard, l am 20
today, and / am now able to tell you, as a
firm admirer of David Garrick, a story asso-
ciated with my birthday. When I was a little
lad, 6 or years old, was playing with my
hoop on Adelphi terrace, where you now live,
when l ran against a very old lady who was
tottering along on stick. " IS begging her
pardon, when she said Little boy, did you
ever hear of David GarrickP
II replied in the negative, and she went
on: He was Englands greatest actor, ard
my husband, and the friend of DR.. johnson
and the illustrious Mr.. Burke. You will
hear of him in the future, and if, when you
reach 70 instead Of I, you meet any one who
remembers him with respect, give to him
from me, as now give you, the blessing of
the wife Of David Garrick.' And" con-
tinued the friend, ''that day having now
come, I pass, Blanchard, the handshake and
the blessing to you"
1t was with considerable dramatic point
that this story was told, for the study in
which it was narrated had once been occu-
pied by Garrick himself, and his death mask
was prominent object in it; and to lovers Of
literature it will seem strange that there was
living in London only yesterday one who was
removed by single handshake from a lady,
who, as Boswell attests, had more than once
entertained johnson and Burke at the board
of her illustrious husband.-Pan Mall Gazette
