work every day, but it is not true.
Most of the girls who marry select their
mates from a class of men who are in
some other and more remunerative
business. The principal reason for this
is TO be found in the fact that the girls
soon become imbued with sensible
ideas in regard to the life of those who
have to work for a living. A girl soon
finds out all about the man who works
at the same counter with her, and
knows that he earns but little more
than she does herself. Matrimonial
bliss on a salary just sufficient for one
has no temptations for the average
shop-girl." Pittsburgh Commercial

PETERsBURGH, Ind, May 25.-Satur-
day evening about . o'clock horse and
buggy were found by Joseph Dean in
front of his house. about miles south
of town. The buggy contained the
body of William Johnson with
bullet through his heart In
the buggy were two pistols with several
chambers of each empty. AS it was
known that Johnson and LATE Sprinkle
had been together in the buggy search
was made for the missing man, who
was found about a quarter of a
mile nearer town lying by the
side of the road with bullet
through each of his lungs. Sprinkle, still
alive, was taken to his home, where he
died about midnight. 1t is not known
how the shooting originated, as there
was no witness of the affair, but it is
known that both men nursed an old
grudge, left town together in Sprinxle's
buggy, and they probably fought it out
with the above result.
