How They Act--Sympton,s of True Love
 Easily Diagnosed.
 When he is making a good salary and allows you to walk two or three blocks through the chill night air and in your thin slippers after the ball to catch the street car.
 When he hints to you that he likes slender girls and compliments you upon being so lovely and slender about the waist, while he Is well aware that nature demands you should be fully hand breadth ad- ditional in girth.
 When he takes you out for walk and some other girl to box at the theatre; treats you to soda water and your friend across the way to q grand spread at Delmonico's.
 When he gives you for a Christ mas present bottle of cologne or a pair of dollar kid gloves and some other girl who has a rich father, the costliest vase O. piece of bric-a- brac that his allowance can afford.
 When he calls to see vol once in fortnight, and even then brings an excuse that he has been so busy and declares that really this is the first moment he has had to spare, while in his breast pocket there are at least half dozen pink-tinted notes from some other girl, telling him how she enjoyed the last evening which he spent at her side.
 In short, when man is really in love with you you can sum 1t up in this wise: He will spend every avail able moment by your side; he will think more of your health and com fort than the cost of dollar or two to himself his greatest aim will be to give you happiness, and no other girl in the whole wide earth will have the slightest charm for him, and If the stress of business actually does deprive him of the pleasure of seeing you, he can contrive to write you line every day to let you know that you are in his thoughts
 Though lost to sight,
 To memory dear.
 T. he does all these things you can safely say to yourself that he's in love.-Young Ladies Bazar.

DEFAULTER AND INSANE.
Judge John Ritter, Indebted to the Defunct
 Deposit Bank of Glasgow.
HIS MIND SHATTERED.
He wanders About In Nude Condition, Gesticulating Like Maniac Captured After
 Long Chase.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 4.-Judge John Ritter, cashier of the Deposit Bank of Glasgow, which failed 8 few days ago, is a defaulter and insane. He is found to be in debt to the bank for $25, ,000.
 Judge Ritter besides being one of the representative citizens of Barren county, is one of the most widely known men in that section of the state. When the failure of the Deposit Bank was announced as imminent, Judge Rit- ter took prompt measures to turn over to the bank all of his property, worth about $10,000.
 Yesterday morning the Judge arose at ' o'clock, ate breakfast and walked into the bank, which is now in the hands of a receiver. About 9:30 the judge went to his home.
 In the rear of Judge Ritter S house is a large field upon which several farm hands were working. At 10 O clock their attention was attracted toward the house by loud hallooing and cries for help, and they saw running across the field man perfectly nude, gesticu- lating like a maniac. He was recognized as Judge Ritter, their employer, and all started in pursuit. After long chase he was captured and overpowered and removed to the house.
 Dr. Grinstead, the family phy- sician, pronounced the afiction a case of acute insanity, brought on by great mental strain. The cause of Judge Ritter's financial trouble is assigned to injudicious speculations during the past three years.

The Origin of HoodIum.


 An old resident of San Francisco says great deal of time has been wasted in searching for the deriva- ton of the word "hoodlum," and i, has been credited to many different languages, but all the derivations given are wrong.
 Some twenty or twenty five years ago there lived in that section of San Francisco known as the Barbar Coast a couple by the name of O'Houghlihan, who were blessed with a family of boys who were the terror of that unsavory region ignorant, brutal young toughs, whose sole delight was getting drunk, whose only pastime was tor menting, abusing, and beating all the other youngsters in the neighbor hood. They were so much dreaded by the neighbors that when they were seen approaching children were called in doors and kept there till they had gone by to safe distance, and 1t was easy to know when they were in sight by hearing women calling: "Patsy, Mary Ann, come in; the Houghlihans is comin' {" The o was dropped in the haste of calling the young ones, and after a little the name, somewhat difficult one to pronounce at the best, was in the mouths of the Germans, Italians, Chinese and nationalities residing on the Barbar Coast, corrupted into "hoodlums," and the Houghlihan boys and their associates became generally known as the hoodlums. = The Oregonian.

The Perfect Man.

Rev. M. T. Savage, of Boston, gives his idea of the perfect man. He will be:
 A perfect animal.
 A trained, lear-seeing, unbiased intellect, whose one thirst is for truth.
 A taste that sees and appreciates all beauty.
 A heart that loves all lovely things.
 A sympathetic benefcence that would have all men lifted to the highest.
 A soul or spirit that recognizes kinship with the Eternal Spirit and ever aspires toward a fuller spiritual life.
 These all blend in one being, not that he has these things, but is these. -Womankind.

UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

Neither heat, cold, ice nor snow, can keep The Echo from coming out in some shape or another. We have eight or ten editions of ready print at Springfield, but that is 100 miles away. Three weeks ago our freighter failed to bring our paper, this com pelled us to get out several copies on half sheets. Last week they were all half sheets, but we fully ex- pected our ready-print this week. On Wednesday evening we learned that our freight man had been delayed by the cold weather and ice, and that he would not be here this week. Here was a dilemma. We had but three quires of white paper on which to get o,t half sheets, and it would require sixteen quires of whole white sheets to get out the paper on half sheets. If we sent to Harrison or Mountain Home it would be Friday or Saturday before we could get any paper and perhaps not S6b dHy Uil6Il. Wc Sdt uOWn anu De- gan thinking. Soon a bright idea flashed through our fertile brain. !" We went out in town, after visiting every store in the place found at H. A. Young's some manilla wrapping paper, about half the size of the Echo. Bought four papers of pins and had eur angels" to pin the sheets together, two at time. These were then put on the press and "run off, on one side. They were then turned over and the ends re- versed and "run off" again. The pins were then taken out, and on each original sheet was all the home news. When our readers contem- plate the trouble it has been to get out this issue they will surely not expect an apology from us for the absence of the ready-print. It will also remind them that we. need bet ter transportation facilities than we now ave.-Mountain Echo.

seriously hampered by being the orxan of the Pennsylvania State Music Teachers Association. And, in order to begin aright the new year, Music and Drama most co,r teously resigns the pleasure of being the organ. There were numerous times when praise was extended where censure should have been given the association, merely be- cause this paper was the organ and tried to build up an interest in the association s work. And now, while frankly admitting the deception to it's readers, Music and Drama offers apologies and promises for the future to keep aloof from the ticklish honor of being an organization's organ. In all departments this paper will observe strict impartiality; it will be utterly independent and perfectly fearless. v

He was sent to Washing ton after the defeat of the late pres ident, and is very popular in official circles and society at the capital.

MARIA.


 Actor Cranes Experience With Maid
 Servant of That Name.
 Speaking of servant girls" said Crane, the actor, to a friend who was recently entertaining him with sin account of his experiences with the tribe, i've had one up at Cohas- set last summer that simply took the bakery and everything appertaining thereunto. She was named Maria, and she came from the rampant West with letter of recommendation from family of our acquaintance out there. They said that she was honest and faithful, but little crude, and needed training. Imag- ming that the latter fault could soon be remedied, we engaged her and appointed her to the then vacant position of waitress-in- ordinary.
 "On the afternoon of her arrival I gave little dinner to few of my professional friends and felt par ticularly anxious to have the affair go off smoothly. With this end in view Maria was put through little preliminary drilling beforehand, in the course of which she managed to smash the fish platter of a valuable set of china and display the fact that she didn't know any more about waiting on table than she did of writing comic songs in Sanscrit. The guests arrived, and in fear and trembling I took my seat. We pre- pared for the preliminary oysters They did not come. 1 thumped the bell without eliciting re- sponse from the non-evident Maria. Then I breathed her name softly, but in vain; l breathed it again, same result; and finally I reached for upper c and called 'Mariap in tones that rattled the plates.
 IA capped and beribboned head thrust itself around the corner of the dining-room door, and in tones of calm inquiry the young lady from the West remarked, "Did anybody holleri I thought I heard yell. ,"
 I've parted from Maria more in anger than sorrow that evening. - New York Commercial Advertiser.

Lindsey, former chief clerk for the firm of Jones Bros. & Co.,, of Memphis, who is here recuperating for his health, he says unreservedly that he knows nothing about the firm except the duties that developed upon him as clerk.

Further he has no knowledge of cotton being shipped of a superior grade from what 1t was, or classification, and that he does not believe such was the case. He has proclaimed himself ready to return to Memphis, should the court so order.
