Dreaded plsgrace br a Woman.

BEVERLY, N. j., Jan. 27.-Fcar of
living the rest Of his life IN disgrace before
his family and his friends. drove Albert
lyens, jr., aged % years, to commit sui
eide here last night. He was found hang
ing by a rope by his aged mother in a
storehouse adjoining his home early this
morning. Young Iveps went last night
to a meeting of a small social organization
of which he was a member. He left his
friends in a mood not notlceably melancholy
late in the evening. The woman who is
the cause of the affair is a Mrs. Amanda
Reed, 40 years old. She is a widow with
three children, all of whom are in the
county poor house. She is a very small
woman, about four feet and three inches
In height, and is deiormed. For the past
three months Mrs. Reed has been board
ing In this place. Recently she has given
evidence of being in a delicate condition.
She has been seen also frequently walking
past the grocery store in which young
Ives was employed. Several times Mrs.
Reed ac,Osted the young fellow on the
street. Finally an intimate friend of the
young fellow suspected the secret of the
trouble and told him what he thought
was the matter. Ives protested his limo
cence, and stated that he was either in
tentionally or unintentionally made a vic
tim by the woman. The friend advised
Albert to tell his employer and companion
Albert Hurry. Hurry got young WINS
to relate Just what relations. if any, he
had with Mrs. Reed. The young man
then denied hat he was the father of the
woman's unborn child. He had given
the woman none TO shield himself from
unmcrited disgrace.

A story Traced Through Centuries.
Mr.. W. A. Clouston, in The Asiatic Quar-
terly Review, traces a familiar tale from
the ancient Hindoo collection, Ocean Of
. the Rivers of Narrative y through various
versions in many centuries and languages.
The Hindoo tale is, in brief, as follows:
A rich man said to his treasurer, in the
hearing of a musician who had entertained
him, Give this man two thousand panas. "
The treasurer said, 81 will do so,' and
went out. The minstrel asked him for
those panas, but was refused, and on ap-
pealing to the rich man he received this
reply: What did you give me that /
should make "a return2 You gave a short
lived pleasure to my ears by playing on the
Tyre, and l gave a short-lived pleasure to
your ears by promising you money"
In Gladwin's Persian Moonshee" a
poor poet recites verses in praise of a rich
man, who promises him a quantity of
grain, but later says to him, "You are a
blockheadl You delighted me with words,
and / pleased you in like manner. Why,
then, should l give you grant"
Lucian tells of a philosopher who com
planned to his pupil because his fees were
eleven days in arrears, and was thus an
swered by the youths uncle: "Pray let us
hear no more complaints OF the injustice
you suppose you have had at our hands,
since it simply amounts to this; We have
bought words Of you, and till now have
paid you in the same coin"
In JACKIE of Dover, His Quest of In
quirie for the Foole of all Fooles," an En-
glish jest book of the Sixteenth century,
there is a tale almost precisely like the
Hindoo narrative.
A Japanese story says that Kisaburo, a
person Of economical spirit, took lodging
on the side OF a market for cells. The appe-
thing odor Of fried eels entered his dining
room and seasoned his bowl OF rice. The
man with the cells presented his bill for the
odor Of the fish. Kisaburo laid the money
asked for on the bill and began to chat
with him. When the man was about to
leave Kisaburo put the money Jack into
his pocket, replying to the mans remoIr
STRANGE, You ask me for payment for the
smell Of your fried fish. / do the same for
the sight Of my money" This story was
known in Europe in the Fourteenth cent

The Bossier banner., 1891-12-10

The Banner desires that the Dem
ocratic party shall save every inch of
ground won in previous struggles in
this State. To this end it urges the
Democracy to be honest and fair
with themselves, and it appeals to
the leaders, whoever they may be, to
be fair with the people. The Banner
holds, and with it every good Demo
crat must hold, that honor, good
faith, principle, truth-an that makes
men worthy and parties useful-must
not be surrendered to selfish and
grotesque ambition. 1t contends that
to continue to succeed the party must
deserve it, not from attachment to
any one man but by devotion to
eternal principles.

This is a great big country and
contains a great many people-of
these there are many professions and
avocations. To pass laws to the fancy
of all these different trades, profes-
sions or callings is an impossibility
but what ought to be done is to enact
laws that will do away with protect
ing the classes, and which will assist
in the up-building of the masses
No one class should be specially leg
islated for; no class should be leg
islated against. Put all on an equal
