Broker Cattell Went to Ruin After His
Sweetheart Broke Her Promise.
1t is almost certain that the recent
flight of Broker E. J. Cattell, of St. Paul,
was due to an unfortunate love affair,
which drove him to desperation. He was
engaged to wealthy belle residing near
Central Park, but the day for the we'd
ding had never been set, as Cattelrs s
convivial habits were a perpetual bar.
Finally, as he proved that he had no
control over his passion for drink, the
lady broke the engagement From that
time Cattell plunged into dissipation
and speculation and went rapidly to
ruin. His shortage was figured any
where from $50, 900 to $4,000.

Can Women Keep a Secret ?

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
Every woman is not trusty any more than is
every man, but quite as many women as men
are so. In truth it may be doubted if there are
not more trusty women than there are men.
Secrets are seldom impaired to persons who do
not inspire confidence; they who tell what they
call secrets to dozens of persons, without
knowing much about the persons, without form
ng any positive opinion of their discrimination
or reticence are not apt to have any secrets
from the entire circle of their acquaintance.
They are mere babblers, gossips, tattlers, who
try to bestow some Importance ON their com
munications by declaring them to be secrets.
Such communications are usually commonplace,
or of so little consequence as to make no dis
tinct impression on the mind, needing to be
labelled pirate, lest they be thought to belong
to the public. Besides, the communications are
prone to the habit of repeating their stories to
every one they can persuade to listen to them,
and then pronouncing them confidential. To
many to whom they are thus disclosed the
stories are already familiar, and politeness alone
prevents the recipient from Immediately saying
as much. Candor and delicacy compel these,
when informed of their confidential character
to acknowledge that they are by no means new
But the babDers-men for the most part-take
no notice of this. They go their babblng
round, and when they hear their current tale
they like to assume an injured air and to assert
that some confounded woman has BETRAYED
their confidence; that women never can keep a
secret. That women should owe in any meas
ure their false reputation to such Ounce is the
best evidence of its falsity.
