OIL wish you would repeat to the

run, and l didn't pay very much atten-
ton to it, got up slowly and walked
around the paper racks, and then saw
the doctor open the door and he came
in.
Q.-NOw tell them anything DIR. Baird
said and did when he came in. Objec-
ton by the defense, and the Court said
the defense might produce authorities;
he did not want to hear from
the State; his first augment
was that it was admissible. The Court
said the matter might as well be set
tied at once, but counsel could let it go
i'm under objection, or the witness could
be brought back. Finally, the witness
was withdrawn until this morning, and
was then requested by the Court to re-
port.
A suggestion was here made by Capt.
DoyeEer that the jury be allowed TO walk
around little, to which Juror Supler
retorted they would prefer the Court
would proceed with case and get
through.
The clothing, worn by the deceased
which had up TO this time been lying on
the floor, was then tied up by the
Sheriff.

INFLUENCE ON SOCIAL LIFE.

The Good Sweet-Minded Woman May
Do for Those Around Her.
Men, as a rule, are easily attracted
by a beautiful face, but still it is
is an internal beauty of character by
which a woman can exert the greatest
amount of influence. A true minded
man, though at first enamored by the
glare of personal beauty, will soon feel
the hollowness of it's charms when he
discovers the lack of beauty in the
mind. Inestimably great is the infu-
ence sweet-minded woman I1ay WELD
over those around her. 1t is tc, her that
her friends would come in seasons OF
sorrow and sickness for help and sup
port. One soothing touch of her kindly
hand would work wonders on the fever
ish child; a few words let fall from her
lips in the ear of a sorrowing sister
would do much to raise the load of grief
which was bowling its victim down to
the dust in anguish. The husband
comes home worn out with the pressure
of business, and feeling irritable with
the world IN general; but when he en-
ters the cosy sitting-room and sees the
blaze of the bright fire, his slippers
placed by loving hands in readiness
and meets his wife's smiling face, he
succumbs in moment to the soothing
influences, which as the balm of Gilead
on his wounded spirits, that are wearied
with com batting with the stern realities
of life The rough school boy flies in a
rage from the taunts of his companions
to find solace in his mothers smile; the
little one. full Of grief with its own
large trouble, finds haven ot rest on
its mothers breast; and SO one might
go on with instance after instance of the
influence a sweet minded woman has in
the social life with which she is con-
nected. Household Monthly.

out the South, died at his home in
Memphis, leaving widow with tw }
sons and three daughters to mourn his
loss. For number Of years before his
death fortune had not been kind to Mr.
Cunningham. Reverses beset him on
every side, and he found himself when
he came to die several thousand dollars
in debt Being man of much pride
and of honest principles, he chafed
under this Indebtedness. 1t seemed the
strongest regret of his deathbed that he
should leave his finances in such an en-
barrassing condition His last request
was that his eldest unmarried daughter.
Frances, should clear his name from
debt. Strange that the father should
have faith that one of his children, and
that, too, daughter who had had no
training. whatever for business, might
be able to do what he had not done,
which he could not avoid contracting.
but he did have such faith, and, on the
promise of Frances that she would de-
vote her life to clearing her fathers
name from the stain of debt he died
contented. The widow, as the daughter
expresses it. did not know the least
thing about business" The boys were
yet too young to be depended upon.
At the time of the fathers death the
creditors wished to take the wagon
shop and business for what it was
worth, feeling sure that they could
hope for nothing beyond that The
friends of the family urged them to let it
so, as there was none of them who
knew anything about the business or
could make anything out Of it if they
did The mother willingly yielded tc
their persuations but Frances, against
the will Of her mother and the opposi-
tion of all her friends, steadily refused
to give up the business, stoutly main
tanning that she could run it and she
would. She had promised her father
that she would pay off his debts and
she meant to do it. And she did it.
Her fathers faith has been rewarded,
and every dollar of the debt which he
left his family as an heritage has been
paid.
Miss Cunningham has made herself
SO familiar with all the details of the
business that she has won the esteem
and confidence Of the entire community
in which she lives. She is not afraid to
lift up horses foot and nail on shoe,
and there is nothing connected with the
mechanism of a wagon that she is not
familiar with. She does all her own
buying, and selects the varions kinds
and qualities OF iron and steel and
wood used in the business with as
much skill and wisdom as a man Chi

AN UNJUST APPEAL.

The Continual Cry from Women That
Justice Be Done Them by Mon.
There is a continual appeal from
women that justice be done them by
men, and corresponding overlooking
of the fact that it is from among the
ranks of women that their most bitter
opponents are too often to be found.
Men have an inherent respect and ap-
probation for honest work, both mental
and physical, and will not deny the re-
suits of it, no matter whose work it is;
but with women there is wide differ
ence With them there is an entire
lack of appreciation of labor as labor
The reason for this is good: Women
have rarely worked or lived collectively
as men have; consequently their life
has always been an individual one, and
peculiarly SO as far as their work is
concerned. They may do the same
work that their mothers have done be-
fore them, but at the same time it is
purely personal. where their surround
ings are more or less what they make
them.
In the case of men no career is open
to them where they are not surrounded
on all sides by co-workers, striving for
the same goal. with whom they must
match their best powers of body and
mind. All the while the men watch
each other closely, SO that it one is sue
cessful they may initiate his methods
and if unfortunate avoid his STUN bling
blocks. Thus they do their work un-
der the eyes OF their fellows subjected
to their criticisms at every turn. a
All this is absolutely foreign to wom-
ems experience, for hitherto they have
worked as the individual not as the
class.
It is always difficult to see both sides
of question, but what women most
need is the impartial Judgment of their
work. as work done, not as "women's
work"
There is no possible doubt that wom-
en- will have to learn to accept GER
tain amount of loss of consideration
which has heretofore been shown to
their personality, and assume at the
same time responsibility of mistakes
which it must be feared they are sure
to make while in the act of adjusting
their lives to the changed conditions in
which they have elected to place them
selves
The fact can not be ignored that there
is deplorable lack of sympathy be-
tween the women who work and those
who do not For as women are more
emotional and sympathetic than men,
they are also more prone to intoler-
ance where they are not in accord
Among men there has ever been a GER
tain community OF interests; politics
for, example, where they meet on COM
mon ground, and where they learn to
measure their power as fractions OF a
unit Women have not yet become ac-
customed to being part rather than a
whole, for while they may, each one.
be the slave of some one man, it has
been as an individual and not as frac-
tion. So their position has always
been positive, never negative, no mat
ter how sharply the limitation Of their
free agency was marked, or how con-
itracted the area allowed compared with
that which is now conceded.-Anna w.

I'm WOMAN'S BEHALF.
WHAT SHOULD A WOMAN HE7

We would have her gracious and gentle.
With o kindness to walk side By side
With sympathy's smile for the sunny,
With sympathy's tear for the tried.
We would have her tender and truthful;
voice with sinceritys sound,
And, above every act OF her earth-life.
These virtues TO ever abound.
With The air Of the earnest and thoughtful,
Which can merge into merrier words.
And win with her warmth and her wisdom,
All persons her presence includes.
With spark OF the fire OF the fearless,
That can frankly and firmly defend
The right in its hours OF oppression,
And steadily stand by friend.
With conscience SO carefully cultered,
And Of such delicate mold.
That naught OF doubt-tainted nature
This crystalline chalce could hold.
We would have her womanlY always,
With tn coyness that close to her elings;
For to be womanly woman.
Is the crown OF all womaniy things.
We would wish her fervent and faithful,
Faithful and fond to the end;
And, strange tho it seem, have found shess
Aye, all OF these-in a-friend.
