Never Too Old to BE whipncd.

The truth of the remark that nes as
but children of larger growth is dem
onstrated every day. Full grown men
are doing precisely all the time the
things for which the child is punish ed
with its mothers slipper. The father
reprovcs the child for Impotence and
hasty words. and then storms around
the house like a mailman over some
trivial affair. He has no patience and
no control of his temper He is lord o.
all he surveys and often frst-class
tyrant. He lectures his boy Tor selfish
ness and yet may be the most selfish
mortal on earth. 1t Is a pity that some.
body is not strong enough to take him
across the knee and spank him until
his face is red Western Rural

THE MEETING on STATE STREET.

MANY questions which were at my
tongues end. That. by birth and cdu-
cation. she was lady could not doubt.
Her language, though married by Il
broad accent. was pure and well chosen
and her actions and movements were
refined.
left the house and in twentv-four
hours had forgotten the adventure.
Misery and want stalk around arm in
arm in the poorer portions of every
large city. ard no matter how tender
hearted one may be, he soon becomes
accustomed To sights which would haunt
the dreams of dweller in some peace
sul country town for many nights.
A few days later was walking down
State street. Imagine my surprise when
/ saw, standing near the curb. the
woman from Elston road. She carried
basket containing a few lead
pencils and four or five pack
ages of chewing gum which She was ST.
lently offering to the busy shoppers.
Before could speak to her l noticed Il
coarse-looizing, fieshy woman, step ont
of a carriage in front of the fashionable
dry goods store where this little drama
was enacted. Tho fat woman turning
| around to give IN order TO her coach
nan, noticed the peneil peddler looked
Feliciana sentinel. [volume] (St. Francisville, La.) 1877-1892, 1891-11-14
At her sharply and with an expression

st her sharply and with an expression
of genuine surprise spoke a few words.
My old acquaintance seemed even moro
startled than the other woman. She ut
tered a cry, expressing at once surprise
and anguish, and fell into the gutter in
faint. With wonderful sclf-posses.
sion, the feshy woman ordered tho
coachman TO lift the seemingly lifeless
form into her carriage and to drive TO
her home as fast rs possible. The
crowd which had rapidly gathered
viewed these extraordinary proceed'
ings with astonishmeut, but soon dis
pcrsed to be attracted q few moments
later by some more horrible accident
or more thrilling incident.
Upon inquiry ! learned that the
woman in the carriage was Mrs. s.,
the wife of Il retired brewer, ami
that she lived in an aristoc:atic portion
of the North side. For the sake Of
gratifying my curiosity, r'cnt to con-
siderable trouble to secure an introduce
ton to the ex-brewer and an invitation
to his house. On entering tho gaudily
furnished parlor of his elegant mansion,
l was introduced to Mrs. s. and .
sweet-looking lady whom at once rec
ognized as my friend from Elston road:
After few preliminary remarks
learned the story of the two women. 1t
seems that early in the tifties the ex-
brewers wife was n domestic III tho
family of a wealthy landowner in
Eastern Prussia. She fell in love with
a Young fellow employed on the same
estate, who did not find favor in the
ewes of the buXom laSsic's parents.
| Finally the man entigrated to America
and in the course of time wrote to his
sweetheart to follow him. But, alas.
the poor girl did not have the money I"
pay the fare, and her lover had not yet
earned enough to send the necessary
funds. In this extremity the girl MAIDS
/ a confidante of her masters daughter
who gave her money enough to dcfray
| the cost of trip and few dollars be-
sides.
Shortly afterward the young lady
married gallant" young Prussian
officer who managed to lose all OF her
money and her fathers estate Mt the
gaming table. In due time he was
cashiered and cmigrated to America
where he never obtained higher posi-
ton than that of barkeeper in tough
saloon. About a year before my first
meeting with the lady Of ElSton road.
who was no other than the landowners
daughter, the fellow had died. leaving
his wife to struggle unaidcd with a
cruel world. She was too weak to do
washing and scrubbing. and her eye
sight was too poor to do fancy work.
AS a last resort she undertook cnnvass-
ing and finally selling pencils and chew.
ing gum on the streets. Her efforts
proved failures. and the day she was
rescued from absolute starvation by
her four neighbors had been the thiI>
she had passed without taking any
nourishmcnt.
The peasants daughter Jared better
in America. She married her old lover

ness right on the start
II knowed Big Jim meant what no
said an / felt kind O. sorry for the set
tier, but didn't say nothin'. Me an
the other boys jest set down an
watched Jim as he strided cross tho
prairie, an waited to see what was goin'
to happen.
"When Jim got up sorter close to the
wagon we see him draw his gun an git
ready to shoot, then we see him edge
up little closer kinder keerful like,
then all to once we seen him stop an
wait like he was listenin' at somethin'.
