clearly inappropriate. And this has led
a number of other British newspapers to
suggest the invention of some new form
of salutation suitable for use by superiors
toward interiors.
This. to my mind. is preposterous and
altogether unnecessary In the countries
where Western civilization prevails and
where both our religious and our political
creeds teach us that we are all equal in
the sight Of the Divinity, as well as in
the eyes Of the law, the bow is all that is
needed and is perfectly adequate to meet
all requirements. Every honest girl be

SANG HIS OWN SWEET SONG.

and Els Friend Were Released.

It Touched . Soldiers Heart and Payne
and His Friend Were Released.
John Howard Payne. the author Of
s'Home. Sweet Home" once saved himself
and friend from Imprisonment by sing
ing his famous song This Is the story,
substantially, as it was related by John
Ross, the Indian chief, and published
recently in the Indian Arrow" printed at
Tahlequah, l. I.
When the Cherokee Indians were being
removed from Georgia to their new reser-
walton west of the Mississippi river,
Payne spent . few weeks at the home OF
John Ross, lifelong friend, head chief
of the tribe. Several prominent Chero-
KEGS were in prison, and that portion OF
Georgia was secured by armed squads Of
militia. One day as Payne and Ross were
sitting before the fire in hut, the door
was opened suddenly and eight militia
men entered. Ross and his presumed ac-
. complete, suspected Of! influencing the
Indians 10 cause trouble, were summarily
arrested and taken off on horseback.
Rain was falling. The journey lasted all
night. Just after midnight, in order to
keep awake, one of the soldiers began
singing Home, Sweet Home"
"Ah," said Payne, sadly, II never ex-
pected to hear that song under such
circumstances as these"
Il guess not, =" his escort answered in
differently, ''but L wasn't singing that
song for you"
''Do you know who wrote that song :"
"No. Do your
EYES," said Payne 'I did"
''Of course you did," laughed his COM
panion with an oath. "Ill bet you don't
even know the words"
Payne began slowly repeating the words
of the song, reciting the whole of it.
Then he sang it. The surroundings nat
urally heightened the effect. As the last
words of the melody died away the soldier
said kindly:
''If you didn't write it. you can sing it
"a well as the man who did write it"
HE really wrote tho song" said tho
Indian chief. - THAT is John :. Howard
Payne"
The soldier was still skeptical, but had,
ct least. been touched by Payne's singing
Of the song.
Whether you wrote 1t or not no said,
"you shall not go to prison il l can help
IT,"
And, much to the surprise of both
Ross and Payne, they were released at
Milledgeville-then the capital of the
Statement day, after a brief examina-
ton. The soldier had told tho STORY of
the song, and Payne was subsequently
treated with especial respect and Hber-
atty.
That song" the Indian chief often
declared subsequently,, Saved both of us
from insult and imprisonment, or. per-
haps, even worse treatment. / had heard
Payne sing it before, but never as he
sang it that rainy night on our way to
prison at Milledgeville.

This Time Writes q Letter for Men
to Read.

fcoPYhIoHT 1892. BY JAMES ". JoHNsoN1
In one of the latest issues Of the London
weekly newspaper entitled woman" |
read that it "is no longer fashionable for
women to kiss one another" That women
who kiss one another before q drawing
room full Of men and women are guilty
of bad form is nothing new. For even
the 2-cent pamphlet published year ago
on the knotty problem chow to behave"
asserts that public caresses are vulgar
and disrespectful even when bestowed On
pet dog. But now even the inter
feminine kiss in the sanctity of the
boudoir is forbidden. We are to consider
ourselves restricted to q more or less
aerial shake of the hand. This, Of course,
will save much straining of the collar and
corset, and in some cases the possible
obliteration of artificial beauty from tho
lip and cheek.
Another advantage Of this new edict
lies in the fact that it sirnpliies the art Of
salutation. The latter is far more COM
pick and difficult question than appears
at first sight, and is we'll worthy of more
serious attention than is generally &C
corded thereto. How many women are
there, for instance, who do not feel en-
barrassed when they receive from their
tradesmen, servants, or social interiors Of

Drs MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 27.-At a
meeting OF Democrats held in this city,
j. j. Richards, OF the national commit
tee was present. tits said that there is
reason to believe that the question OF
withdrawing the Democratic presiden-
tial electors, and making combination
on the Weaver electors was discussed.
No conclusion was reached except that
such withdrawal would, under the Iowa
law, be impossible, except through in
structions to Democratic voters to vote
for Weaver electors. This would lead to
confusion. The Cleveland electors can
not at this time be Withdrawn from tho
ticket which was certified to by the
secretary OF state. 1t is probable the
combination will not be effected.
