COWBOY CHIVALRY.

A little incident occurred at an East
Douglass avenue restaurant yesterday at
ternoon, which if read by eastern readers
will sound very western. A young fell
low, dressed according to the latest fashion
rules, was at dinner, aud not finding pep
per sauce on the table abused the waiter.
4 cowboy from Protection, Kan, was in
the room at the time. The dudes words
to the pretty waiter girl enraged the cow
boy, and going out, he procured bottle OF
pepper sauce, and with his revolver point
ed at the young fellow, commanded him
to drink till lie would tell him TO stop.
The dude plead, but to no avail, and final
ly, frightened out of his wits, drank what
he could of it. The noise attracted quite a
crowd, aud an officer, learning the psrtic-
ulars, turned the cowboy loose with the
admonitIon to be careful hereafter.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Stay Gibson Being Tired OF Life Attempts Sui
eide by Taking Morphine.

Last night about 11:30 a young woman
named May Gibson, living ON South En-
poria avenue. made a desperate attempt
to commit suicide and would have succeed
ed were it not for the timely interference
Of companion. The would be suicide bad
been i'll Wellington during the holidays
and returned last night on the Rock Is
land train. When she entered her abode
she was welcomed by her companion who
expressed herself as being glad that May
returned. 81 won't be with you long"
said she in reply, ''for there is nothing in
this world for me any more worth living
for" With this remark she took a seat
and commenced writing. After having
note finished she put it away in her room
and, taking her hat and cloak, she left the
house, promising to be back in moment.
She returned in about ten minutes
and very excitedly entered the
kitchen and taking glass of water poured
some morphine into it. The companion
fearing something was wrong followed her
and dashed the glass out of her hands just
as she was raising it to her lips. She then
picked up a carving knife and made des
perate effort to cut her throat The COM
panion called up neighbor and both of
them succeeded in calming the enraged
woman, but she still insists that she will
commit suicide before another week is
over. The police were notified and it is not
improbable that some steps will be taken
to prevent her committing the act which
she intended last night She is said to be
grass widow and came here from Webb
City, Mo-, last October She alleged no
cause for the rash act except that she is
tired of liie

A ARTISTIC CHRISTMAS TREE

One of the prettiest Christmas trees in
the city is that of DR. B. Y Boyd at his
office on North Main street. 1t is unique,
artistic aud beautiful in design, differing
in its decorations from all others the re-
porter has yet seen. There is beautiful
tree, TO begin with, on which are hung
hundreds of wax candles. ornamental and
white as snow. with dainty silver urns for
oil; to each candle is attached or suspended
a little pocket in which is hidden gift of
some kind. The entire tree is trimmed and
decorated with ornamental tufts of white
paper and cotton, the whole giving it a
striking resemblance to snow. Under the
tree on a carpet of moss and holly and
mistletoe are fruits aud candies and
oranges and what nOrs, to which all the
children who visit it are invited to help
the nselves. The whole is the work and
design Of Mrs. B. Y. Boyd, whose ski.lful
hands and artistic touches are seen In
every part and ornament of the tree

ITLOOKs VERY PRETTY.

The show windows of the dry goods store
of Munson & Mcnamara contain some
very attractive things but none of them is
more interesting to the spectator on the
outside than the fine pictorial representa-
ton of the Masonic temple o. Chicago.
The windows are transparent and as there
is good strong electric light hidden be-
hind the picture it gives it fine effect.
The light is furnished by the Citizens
Electric Ligut company, and Is identically
the same as the light that will be used IN

Mr.. Morley's significant hint to the house of
lords, that it will be taken out Of the way if it
gets in the way. is the talk of all England. The
lords are historically speaking the core of the
English constitution-that thing OF convention
and shreds and patches-but it has gotten to be
a rotten core and may have to be extracted, and
a new constitution evolved In England every
thing politically important is made out of some
thing previously existent, and SO the witan be-
cane the kings court, the kings court the par
lament. the latter having been at first only the
council Of barons. 1t is probable that the
hereditary house will become in few years
senate chosen for life or long term. The
radical element in England is never SO blind as
it is in some other countries 1t develops its
measures gradually and builds on existing
foundations. English radical projects do not
spring like political Minerva, full grown, out
of the brain Of the Jovian people.
