One Formidable Obstacle.

Al last. says the Galveston News. some
of the advocates of woman suffrage have
recognized the fact that the chief him
drance in their way is the women them
selves. Women do not desire 10 vote.
and many OF them oppose outright any
movement TO give them the ballot.
In order 10 make woman suffrage sue

How Girls Get Indigo stion.

Many girls lay the foundation Of ind-
gestlon and its train of attendant evils
during their school days. They sit up
late at night, and, consequently, DO not
want TO get up in the morning. When
they do rise, being late for breakfast,
they do not take time for a thorough
sponge bath, which would open the
pores and make them fresh and brisk.
They come down stairs pale and languid,
eat few mouthfuls of oatmeal, or, per-
haps, push 1t away untastcd, play with
a hot roll, swallow two or three pieces
of steak without half masticating il,
drink a cup OF strong coffee, and then
say, Mother, | can't wait for any more
breakfast; can't go?''
Sometimes it is, "Mother. l am not
hungry this morning; | don't want any
breakfast, and the mother who would
shrink with horror from letting her
child 90 into the street with her bare
feet, calmly says, Very well, dear, you
may 90, and sends her out with an UNI
fortified stomach.-Home JoHr1laI.

Not In Their Line.

One Of the best-known society women
of Philadelphia spends the spring
months in her country place a few
miles out of the city. This lady, who
NAV be called Mrs. Stellcart. although
that is not her name, went out there
with her family few weeks ago. Soon
after opening the country house her
husband arrived from the West, where
he had been on business, bringing with
him a ina gnitiCent Kentucky saddle
horse which he gave TO his daughter
Eleanor as birthday present. Not
long atterward the gentleman was again
called TO this Part of the country, and
the same afternoon his wife discharged
the coachman for being impudent.
When evening came on Mrs. Stcllcart
was in a uuandarv. She knew the horse
had to be taken care Of. and she didn't
know exactly how TO do it, SO she said
To her daughter:
Eleanor we've got to put Toag to
bed. | recollect hearing your father tell
John to be very careful TO bed him
down nicely, so we must do as we'll as
we can.
They went to the stable, and took
from the carriage house the cushion Of
a wagon seat. and couple OF horse
blankets. Then they repaired to the
stall in which the Kentucky saddle
horse was growing hungry, likewise
weary. Mrs SteIlcar. and Eleanor
placed the cushion where thew supposed
the horse would use il for pillow, and
managed to arrange one of the blankets
10 serve III lieu of mattress. Then
they tried to coax Toag to lie down, in
order that they might throw the other
blanket over him and tuck it nicely a.
bout his heels. But, for some unac-
countable reason, Toag wouldn't lie
down. They tried to coax him and to
throw him off his feet, but the greatly
astonished horse protested 50 strongly
that the ladies gave up their work.
Their house is situated half mile from
any other ard they did not know what to
do. But at last a bright idea struck
Eleanor. ana she with her mothc r
hurried to the front gate and stayed
there Until two men passed by. These
were called the situation was explained
to them. They didn't understand it at
first, but Mrs. Steiicart finally burst into
tears and begged them TO come in and
put the horse to bed. The men willing
" walked the stable and looked at the
stall for moment Then they leaned
against The wall and laughed until they
were nearly exhausted. Toag went to
bed as usual that night, but he didn't
sleep on the cushion Of a wagon-seat
and covered with blankets.
Every dav since this occurrence those
two men have made il Il point TO walk
past Mrs. >tcllcart' s residence, stopping
by the front gate long enough to rear
with laughter so she could hear them

A knowing Dog.

There is Newfoundland dog, Lion
by name, says the New Orleans States,
which gives daily proof of his compre-
hension of what is said to him. A lady
called on his mistress the other day.
During her call Lion came in rather
slyly, lay down on the parlor carpet and
went to sleep. The conversation ran
on, and the visitor said finally:
What a handsome Newfoundland
you have -
Lion opened his eyes.

good dog and takes excellent care of the
Children
Lion opened the othe- eye and
waved his tail complacently to and fro
on the carpet.

that no harm can come TO her." his
mistress went on.
Lions tail thumped up and down
violently upon the carpet.
And he Is so gentle to them all. and
such playmate and companion TO
them that we would not take 81 900 for
him.

News reached here of most hor-
rible and strange occurrence, which
took place some miles out in the conn-
try day or two ago. A colored wo
man gave birth to a most strange and
beast like creature. 1t is said that
those present, were so much Mortified
and frightened at the strange and in
human appearance of it, that they
took to their heels, leaving the mid
wife alone, who was fearfully scratched
and otherwise bruised by the beast
like creature. Those who fled from
its horrible presence left the door
open, through which it managed to
make its escape, with the midwife in
hot pursuit, who followed it until it
disappeared on full run IN the woods.
1t is described as having cat.like
claws, with head like bear. Long
red hair covered its entire body, aud
il had a tail like a monkey Bun
