PRETTY WOMEN ARE GOOD.
But Somehow the Homely Ones
Get Most OF the Credit for Good

ness.
Atlanta Constitution.
Why is it that only the homely, unat-
tractlve girls receive praise for their
virtues? There are just as many good
pretty girls as there are ugly ones, yet
one seldom hears about the good deeds
of pretty women.
Yet how much more credit pretty
women deserve for doing acts than ugly
ones. Nobody expects much of pretty
women. They can be selfish, tyran-
nical, almost anything they like, with
out being blamed very much, while the
ugly girl must be good to be endured by
her fellow creatures.
Still, it is rather hard for the pretty
woman who practices few virtues
never to get credit for them.
l was struck by this recently when
the name of girl came up for discus
sion and number of racy stories were
told about her. One man who had
known her all his life said that he liked
her anyway; that at her home she
nurSed the sick, and the wants of the
Door were relieved by her generosity. l
had heard stories about this girl for
many years and this was the first kind
one. If the girl had been homely she'd
have had no temptation; she would have
led sedate life, and nursing the sick
and feeding the poor would have been
all to be said of her. But the pretty
girls shortcomings were blazoned
abroad and her kindnesses untold.
There's another handsome woman
whose name is spoken with a sneer,
whose life has been full of kindly deeds !;
who has nursed her friends sick chill
dren night after night; who has always
thought Of the comfort ana happiness
of the people she loved-but these things
are never mentioned.
And still another, whose ungodly
Understanding ways are a by-word,
and whose daily charities are so large as
10 make the church-gOiDg miSer grasp
his purse strings in terror at the thought
of them.
And what do you think of a pretty girl
who has been at the beck and call of
her friends convenience for many
years, who is willing to stay with friends
and nurse their children just from pure
heart kindness. who creased with
her own dainty hands three little chill
dren with measles, who nurSed the
same night after night, and who is al
ways the most comforting, kindly, low
ing body to be found when sickness
and sorrow come?
AUD another pretty woman l know,
and whose life would extol has spent
I her days in the fultillment of hard du-
ties and srcrifceS to the comfort and
happiness of those about her. She has
no vanity, no love of self. Her mind is
| as brilliant and attractive as her face,
and she loves all the good things and
pretty things she has been denied, yet
with cheerful spirit she lives we'll and
nobIy every day of her life. This is
true greatness.
Everywhere that turn my thoughts
find women as good as they are tair
to look upon.

READY TO RISE.
Preparations All Made for Re-
suming Work on the Court

Work will soon be resumed on the new
court house and city hall Everything is
ready for 1t. All that is lacking now is lit
tie warmer weather. As soon as that comes,
up will go the walls. When the masons and
Iaborers left their work last fall they had
raised all the walls of the subbasement and
the first or basement floor, and put i'll
considerable iron work. Two of the
three arches of the main entrance

more expansive than most people think, be-

the new court house and city hall was to
cover whole block with roof area of over
two acres. The big open court, or as 1t might
be called the light well, diminishes the size
considerably. Stonecutters have been at

JOE'S MISFORTUNE.
His Anguish Not Due to His Hav-
ing Been Crossed in Love.

r. l.. Ketchum in Short Stories.
The great farm house is ablaZe with
lights twinkling from every room. Long
tables groan beneath the loads of good
things the busy housewife has been
days preparing.
From the barn come merry voices,
Joyous laughter.
Let US stand, unobserved, in the open
door.
What happy. merry lot of young
folks-s talwart, handsome young men
and healthy maidens.
They are ranged around the walls
with rapidly diminishing piles of corn
before them, which they husk and
throw upon the golden heap which is
growing in the center.
All! That young man has found a
red ear in his pilel He leaps to his feet
and dasheS at one of the prettiest girls.
A short chaSe-a Struggle-a reSOunding
smack-and it is over. He has kissed
her; maybe on her collar or her back
nalr but that doesn't matter; she counts
it all the same.
How happy they all seem.
But, no. Over there in a dark corner
sits tall, powerful, hand some young
fellow all alone. He speaks to nobody
unless addressed. and then his answers
are short and sullen.
Ever and anon he casts a piercing
glance at young man of about his own
age who sits at the end of the row op-
posite, chatting with a pretty young
girl. His face darkens. There is mur-
der in his eyes. He is in love, perhaps
and jealous.
The bell rings for supper just as the
husking is done, and the huskers jump
up and scamper pell-mell toward the
house, but the tail, handsome young
man remains seated and drops his face
in his hands with something that sounds
like sob.
For long time he sits thus alone;
then light, hurried step is heard and a
SWeet-VOiced girl asks:
Joe, what's the matter? Had trouble
with Mary? You haven't spoken to her
tonight hardly. Sick? Better come in
to supper. 1t will do you good, maybe"

A LONG-LOsT HEIR.
He Turns Up in the Person of
William Blake, of New Hamp-
shire

The order made by Judge Corrigan yester-
day discharging the executor in the case of
the will of John D. Blake, makes public a
rather interesting little story. Blake was a
rather eccentric old man, who lived in
Bloomington. 1t is said that he lived alone
q Ia hermit, and laid up quite a snug little
fortune. In August, 1873, he died, the neigh
bors finding his dead body in the house, with
no previous warning that he had been i'll.
No will was found, and year after year rolled
by without any heir putting in claim to the
property. II. d. Cunningham had the estate
in charge, and searched for twelve years for
the heirs, but without success, until last year
he heard OF man named William Blake
living in New Hampshire. Correspondence
was carried on, and the heir found.
This William Blake was an old man. a
cripple. now sixty four years of age. His
parents had had three children, of which he
was the youngest. His brother and sister had
died young, and he was left aloue in life, his
father marrying a woman in Canada. The
deceased, John, was an issue of this mar
rage. He had never seen him since he was
fourteen years of age
large number of Johns old neighbors in
Bloomington were called to give their testi-
mony. 1t seems that there is a clause in the
laws OF 1878 which states that half brother
shall inherit under the law the same as a full
brother, unless the estate came by inner
1tance. AS il ohm built up his own fortune
the law does not affect this estate. The sum
is not large one, only S1,290 being turned
over.

LUMBERMAN ROBBED.
How Some Hack-Drivers Watch
for and Catch .Suckers."

Another guileess lumbermau has fallen q
victim to the wiles OF wicked city Tom
Brennan is his name. He is out something
over 500. George Carroll hack-driver is
under arrest for relieving him of it. The
police seem to have good case against him.
Brennan and one or two other witnesses
identify Carroll as the man.
Brennan came from Hinckley Wednesday.
As he came out Of the union depot Carroll
spotted him as soft un." :"
Nv here dye wanter go?'' called out Carroll.
Brennan wanted to go first TO LehmanS
iewelry store on South Washington avenue.
All right jump up here with me" said
Carroll. Il know Lehman. I'm goln right
down there"
So they went to Lehman's store. Carroll,
Brennan says. introduced him to Lehman as
q friend of his and gave the leweler 4 little
talk about re pairing Brennan $ watch cheap
for the purpose of making a favorable i'm
preston upon Brennan. Then they started
out for a drive, Brennan on the BOX with
Carroll In the meantime Carroll had put
female from the Jumbo inside the hack. de-
pending upon her it is presumed, 10 relieve
Brennan of his money later. SO they drove
down to Schaefer's beer garden on Fifteenth
avenue south and Sixth street. There Car
roll proposed that they take a drink. Bren-
nan acquiesced and volunteered TO pay ali
bills, since Carroll was carrying him for
nothing. The hack driver called up every
body in the place. crowd, say
ing they were friends of his. Bren-
10 nay. he walked 10 the rear of the room so
that no one might see where he carried his
money. lie had it in a little leather sack
sluDg around his neck and dropped down in
side his shirt. Carroll followed and found
where the money was carried.
Out they went again to the hack. Carroll
invited Brennan TO ride inside with the
woman. Brennan refused to have ANYTHING
to do with the woman, saying he was mar
Ted.
well, pay me that 81 then" said Carroll.
Il can't carry you around for nothin' If ye
amt q sport"
Brennan refused and offered Carroll
dollar.
'Ye = gimme that 81" the
hackman demanded. With that he grabbed
Brennan by the throat and reached for the
money sack. A fight followed. Several
loaIers Joined in. Brennan got the worst OF
it. He was pounded and then arrested for
disorderly conduct. Carroll got away and
with him the money disappeared
Brennan managed to get the ear of the
police yesterday morning. Sergeant Kirk
ham was given the warrant and along in
the afternoon he arrested Carroll as he was
taking drink at the Paully house bar.
