A CARD.

Editor BrooknaNtn Leader:
In response to call from "Noter,"
charging that | have committed my
self since the primary election in IA
v0r of George, can say charge is false;
have not committed myself in favor
of any one; do not feel called upon
to in the way demanded by "Noter."
If voter could locate himself so that
he could hear and be heard he could
perhaps find ont all he ought to know.
| can be heard from in legitimate
way ut any time. "Voter" is perhaps
one of the very fellows that ignored
the right of the voters to pass upon
that matter ut the primary. Would say
in reference to that part of his card
should ! fail to vote for either one of
them if elected, | suppose the sun
would rise in the east and set in the
west the same as now. | believe that
very large majority of the voters of
Lincoln county are willing to risk my
voting right upon that issue as well
as all others affecting their interest,
whether they be friend or foe, politi-
cally speaking. | am willing to risk
my cause to their verdict or decision
next November. Hoping the same
will be satisfactory to Voter, remain
as ever, Your obedient servant,
j. A. j. HART.

DEAR SIRS-Wc are in receipt OF
your favor of the 22nd inst. The box
of hollis that You sent us proved very
interesting. and opened the eyes of
many of the operators on our En-
change. We took the bolls up and cX-
hibitcd them generally i'll our EX-
change, and the immediate result is
apparent in an advance of some seven
points in the market despite the weak
ness of Liverpool and the disposition
that prices show to decline. If you
could give us some more ocular dem
onstrations Of this kind, it would as
sist the market. We believe cotton
to be cheap, and that the crop outlook
.iustifieS higher prices, although pco-
pie have been bcarish so long that
they are very slow to admit it. We
are sending the box of bolls to Liver
pool, together with your letter, and
will advise you promptly of what our
correspondents say in regard to the
matter. Yours very truly,
HUBBARD, PRICE & Co.

The clergyman,s Retort.

There is Unitarian clergyman who
is not without a power OF keen retort
and who is none the less gifted with
the grace to command his tongue
rather than allow his tongue to
command him, says the Boston
Courier. He has in his congregation
one of those women who make u pre-
tense of frankness an excuse for
rudeness, and who are given to boast
ing that they are plain-spoken, when
the truth is that they are simply i'll
bred and insolent. This especial lady
is wealthy, and there are not many
in the list OF her acquaintance who
dare rebuke her, albeit they do to-
gether console each other for the
wounds they suffer from her tongue
by abusing her roundly.
1t CHANGED one evening the lady and
the clergyman were partners ut whist
at the house of a common friend, and
30 successful were they that they won
almost every game for the evening.
Like people who are fond of having
their own way the lady was in high
humor over this success, and when
the play was over she pushed back
her chair from the table with the
characteristic and graceful remark to
her partner:
''You do play good game OF whist,
Mr.. Blank. Ii you only preached as
well as you play whist it would be a
treat to go to church to hear you"
The clergyman was equal to the oc-
casion. He kept his temper and his
face under perfect control as he re-
piled:
THANK you Miss Shaw; but you
know anybody can learn to play
whist, while genius and good breeding
come by grace of God"

Self Betrayed.

Z People who jump too quickly at
conclusions sometimes have occasion
to wish that they had not been quite
so clever. "You ought to be ashamed
to make fun OF my hairl" cried a little
girl whose curly locks are red. why,
l didn't" was the indignant rcply;but
the aggrieved one returned, al heard
you. You said. Isn't it horrid?" and
you must have meant my hair!"
A good story is circling throughout
Germany about a Schusterbub, or
cobbler's boy, who was lately wait
ing outside the palace to see the En-
peror come forth for his afternoon air
ing. Finding the delay tedious, he
suddenly exclaimed:
"The BOBBY isn't comingl l shall
CO."
A policeman at once caught him by
the collar, and shouted, "who do you
mean by "thc BOBBY, sirrah?"
"Why, my friend Michel" whined
the boy. "He was to have met me
here but he hasn't come.
The policeman of course accepted
the explanation, and let him go, where
upon the boy retreated twenty PAGES,
struck q derisive attitude, and yelled:
"And whom did you mean by "the

Business Women.

There are few thoroughly successful
business women, chiefly because they
aspire to something unattainable,
namely--a position in society, and as
O result, naturally meet rebuff. If
a woman starting in business will at
tend to it carefully, seeking nothing
but a money gain there will be but
few failures. Another idea is to seek
the administration of woman, not of
man; ii woman loves woman, so will
they be admired by the other sex.
There is nothing so lovable in wom-
nm as the gentle dignity which says, l
am n woman in n woman's place, and
the mere matter of not seeking admir-
alton makes her all the more sought
after. Never try to attract attention
in pnblic place; never speak Of being
n business woman in n street car or
thoroughare. Simply drawing puplic
attention isnot drawing public regard.
Keep in woman's place although you
are occupying a mans position. New
er allow social pleasures to interfere
with business during business hours;
always preserve reserved APP
pearance; always be agreeable,
never discourteous; If complaints
are made, try to repair the wrong;

Marriage In Sumatra.

Among Kubus of Sumatra the ten
der passion is most prosaically dealt
with. 1t would seem that delicate
susceptibilities have but slight chance
OF development among so un-
tidy so thriftless people. Their
lives are seldom marked by progress;
they seem content to go on their ways
exactly as their forefathers and fore
mothers have travelled.
Very simple indeed is the marriage
ceremony A Kubu youth, having
settled in his own mind his choice, in
terviews the parents of the maiden,
mentioning what he can offer in return.
If late bargains with the itinerant
trader have been gratifying. he may
have in hand O knife, spear, or some
strips of gray cloth-possibly money,
If he has acted as guide or burden
bearer to travellers; there MAJ also be
dammar and beeswax, rare fruits
and favorite animals for food In
dainty snake or nimble wizard), all
most acceptable in the eyes OF the
father and house-mother. Should
this queer endowment fund be salts
factorily large, neighbours are called
together, who are seated with due
formality nnder tree. The father OF
the maiden then publicly announces
his consent to the betrothal, shows
th6 presents received from the young
man, and expresses his PLEASURE
