ARE WOMEN EVER MEAN?

lighted the last cigarette in the fourth
bunch since morning. why, the mean
ness Of women toward each other is CO.
~lOssal."
1t was generally conceded at the club
that young Sparkins was an authority
on the female question.
"You chaps may not know" said he.
that a oma is always worried that
something may be wrong with the back
of her dress. Well, that's feminine char
acteristic, just as the habit Of sitting on
the floor when they put on their stock
ings is. A woman on the streets is never
perfectly at peace in regard to her ap-
pearance from the rear. She can look
up and down the front all right, but I'M
less she has a girl friend to advise her
she is never sure about her back.
"Now, you can imagine how easy it
would be to upset the peace of mind of a
~nervously constructed woman by max
ing her fancy that some displacement of
attire at her back is attracting the atten-
ton of people to her. Well, now, what
do you suppose | have found out? Why,
that there's an organized band Of young
female fends who devote themselves at
odd times to the business of breaking
women up on the street by conveying to
them the impression that their garments
are making guys Of them. The plan is
to look straight at a certain point of the
victims skirt just as she is passing, and
then to turn and cast up the eyes to the
victims face with a look in which pity
and ridicule are equally blended.
WHAT DO these imps do but go out on
to the avenue Of an afternoon, distribute
themselves at equal distances in pairs
and proceed Systematically to brighten
every we'll dressed woman that comes
along by their staring. And they gloat
over the discontinue they produce when
they get together afterward. They were
delighted the other day when they drove
a lady back to her house, about ten
blocks away, after convincing her that
her white underskirt was in full view.
Now, what are you going to do with a
sex that's so mean as all that"
Nothing" replied one of the listening
group. "What are you going to do:"
"Well I've got to take a couple of 'em
out to supper tonight" said young
Sparkins.
"After the theater?" some one asked.
ooh, of course" he replied. "These
are theater ladies. New York Letter.

The burglar Stole a Kiss.

The house Of Thomas Owens, a we'll to
do farmer at Valley station, was entered
Friday night by a masked burglar, who
secured about thirty dollars in money
and several articles of clothing. The
door of the family bedroom had not been
locked, and the burglar entered without
difficulty. He carried a dark lantern.
In leaving the he looked at the
sleeping ones, and saw the innocent face
of Mr.. Owens little daughter. He sud
denly bent over and kissed her on the
cheek. She awoke and uttered a loud
scream. This aroused her father, who,
springing up, spied the burglar. He was
not quick enough, however, and was
knocked senseless by a powerful blow on
the head with the lantern the burglar
carried. louisville Commercial.

Kilkenny Cats.

During the rebellion which occurred
in Ireland in 1898, or it may be in 1903,
Kilkenny was garrisoned by a troop OF
Hessian soldiers, who amused themselves
in barracks by tying two cats together
by their tails and throwing them across
a clothes line to fight. The officers.
hearing Of this cruel practice, resolved
to stop it. AS he entered the room one
of the troopers, Selling a sword, cut the
tails in two as the animals hung across
the line. The two cats escaped, minus
their tails, through the open window,
and when the officer inquired the mean
ing of the two bleeding tails being left
in the room, he was coolly told that two
cats had been fighting. and had devoured
each other all but the tails.-Notes and

Mr.. J. Fl. Harris, Burkeville, Va:
My DEAL SHIT gives me great pleasure TO
add this testimonial to the many others you
have Of the valuable properties of your Min
eraI Waters, especially Spring No. !. My wife
has been a great sufferer from dyspepsia, sour
stomach and headache-in fact, she was most
suffering with one or the other, until
this winter we spent a month in your pleasant
little town. and she commenced to drink the
water so highly recommended of Spring No. /.
She tried Spring No. ,, but | think the water
from that was too strong for her.
Let me say that after she had used the water
one or two days she did not suffer with dyS-
pepsia. sour stomach or headache the whole
time we stayed at BurkevilIc. She drank the
water freely before and after each meal, and
would eat anything she felt like. Ny wlfeNs
health has been a great deal better since using
the water. Wishing you much success, and
that suffering humanity may learn of the
value of your water, | am yours truly,

A Keen Retort.

There is a certain clergyman who is
not without power of keen retort, and
who is none the less gifted with the grace
20 command his tongue, rather than to
allow his tongue to command him. He
has in his congregation one of those
women who make pretence of frank
ness an excuse for rudeness, and who are
given to Boosting that they are plain
spoken, while the truth is that they are
simply i'll bred and insolent. This es-
pecial lady is wealthy, and there are not
many in the list of her acquaintance
who dare rebuke her, albeit they do to-
gether console each other for the wounds
.hey suffer from her tongue by abusing
her roundly.
1t CHANGED that one evening the lady
and the clergyman were partners at
whist at the house Of common friend,
and so successful were they that they
won almost every game for the evening.
Like people who are fond of having their
own way, the lady was in high good
humor over this success, and when the
play was over she pushed back her chair
from the table with the characteristic
and graceful remark to her partner:
3You do play good game of whist,
Mr.. Blank; if you only preached as well
as You play whist, it would be treat to
60 to hear you.
The clergyman was quite equal to the
occasion. He kept his temper and his
face under perfect control q he replied |:
"Thank you, Miss Sharp; but you
know anybody can learn to play whist,
while genius end good breeding come by
the grace Of God"

ing houses, which bestows on her the
free and easy manner which makes her
remarked upon whenever she appears.
AS soon as she enters society she does ex-
h, actly what comes into her head. She
goes alone to the doctor, the dentist, the

lists of clubs for fencing, german, skat-
ing, reading, baseball, singing, etc. She
prefers the society of men to that OF
women, ETC." And this is what tn
American girl answers: If she does all!
of which this writer has pronounced her
guilty, it is because of her security from
insult in thought or deed, in the true and
never failing courtesy Of the American
man, who, unlike the French critic, rever-
ences womanhood itself more than the
conventionality with which he would
surround and guard it."
The we'll bred, well read American
lady, be she girl or woman, requires only
the protection which her own refinement
and common sense provide from the men
Of her nation, and needs the Intervention
Of no chapgon to insure respectful
demeanor. In fact, the chaperon insti
tuition is considered by many cultured
people an insult to the true womanhood
Of the American girl and to the honor cl
her fellow men.-[New York Sun.
