The Loves of Daphnes and Chloe Describe

The Loves of Daphnes and Chloe Described
by an Expert.
Every lad in the country, no matter how
lowly his occupation may be or how smal
the wages he may earn, makes it point tC
own set of harness and a buggy, says the
New York World. This, any way, and, il
possible a horse If he cart get the horse
however, 1t tdoesn't make so much difference
Tor ne can generally manage TO borrow an
animal of some Sort either from his en-
plOyer or some neighboring farmer. These
things are absolutely essential to the kind
of courting he does, and the only one who
doesn't enjoy it is the horse.
When Saturday afternoon comes around
the boys may be found hard at work with a
bottle of harness polish, making the horses
apparel shine for the regular Sunday turn
out And then bucket of water and a
sponge are brought into play, and the buggy
is made to look as bright and clean as new.
Sunday afternoon every thing is in readi-
ness, and decked out in his best suit of
clothes, which sometimes fits him but more
often doesn't he ties a piece of bright rib
bon ON his whip climbs into the buggy and
drives OFF.
May be he has friend from some other
point stopping with him, and in that case
the friend goes along The latter is taken to
some house along the route where there is
daughter in the family. She is asked
whether she expects any caller or not that
evening, and if the answer be in the mega
tive the friend is introduced and left in care
of the girl, who treats him just as if they
had been lifelong friends, and he in turn
does his share towards carrying out the pre-
sumption. He takes tea with the family
and then is escorted to the parlor, when he
and his new-found acquaintance are left
alone TO entertain each other as best they
see it,
In the meantime the buggy owner has
driven on To his destination. His best girl
welcomes him with open arms. A hug, a
kiss and how-doye-do comprise the salu-
tatory aud then he goes through the same
course as the friend whom he has left be-
hind After tea he goes to the parlor and
he and the object of his admiration sit and
chat together the whole night long, This is
a fact, and they don't sit rs city folks do,
either, They huddle together on lounge
or sofa and, clasped in each others arms,
sit and coo like pair of turtle doves. No
one is there TO disturb or embaTass them.
The old folks have gone TO bed and the
are alone in their glory. For
time they talk about crops and the weather
and discuss the h bits of some mutual ac-
quaintance, and when they have exhausted
all subjects ON which they find it easy TO
converse they don't go ahead and talk for
the sake Of saying something, as city folks
do, but they remain silent and sit for
hours hugging and kissing each other,
until the break of day warns the youth
that 1t is time for him TO retire Then he
gives his girl u parting kiss and hug, an
other for good luck, and takes his departure.

The Wichita daily eagle., 1891-10-04
OUTLAWRY AND MOBS,

A good deal is being said in the press
of the country in regard to the preva-
lence of criminality, almost every one
having different theory as to the cause
thereof. Touching the question of pre-
ventive, all are pretty well agreed that
the general and more rigid enforcement
of the law would accomplish more, if it
did not entirely suppress it. Relevant to
this question and. in fact, growing out of
it, the Galveston News notes the increaS-
ing appeals to mob law throughout the
country and the dangers arising from
such appeals, and says that the only
comparatively safe retreat from their
violence is in the grave, "and even that
is not nearly so safe as the crematory."
The prevalence of mob law is to be
deprecated most profoundly. Every
mob is a wild, soulless, unreason-
ing thing, and it has a cruel and
deadly strength which demolishes in a
moment what years have gone to build
up. Worse than all, as the Austin
Statesman remarks, it makes mistakes,
and there is never any opportunity to
set them right. But the mob themselves
are not SO much to blame after all. The
law is proverbially slow. and it is grow
ing slower every day. Quirks and quib-
bles, mistrials, changes of venue, APP
peals and hundred other devices are
resorted to, in order to gain time for
some man notOriously guilty; and in not
a few cases he walks out of jail free
man, or is given shorter term for a
murder than the man handcuffed to
him, who has only stolen COW. Let
murderer once escape, and justice con-
siders her hands washed of the whole
matter. The state offers a pitiful re-
ward for him in the first place, which
would tempt no man to arrest des-
perate criminal. With the close of the |
administration even that reward lapses,
and the murderer may consider himself |
safe. Mention might be made |
of dozens of brutal murders |
committed within the past half
dozen years with the murderers still free
and not dollar set upon their heads. In
view of such facts as these, it is little |
wonder that a crowd of indignant citi-
zens, having caught a murderer whose
hands are still red with the blood of his |
victim, should string him up to the near
est tree without waiting for the chances
of the laws delay.
