he WAS a VERY SOFT MARX
Held Up in the Wild West.
From the Chicago Times.

How the Marquis De Mores Was
Held Up in the Wild West.
From the Chicago Times.
Anything concerning thu Marquis de
Mores, who is going to fight our Uncle Joe
Medill at tine worlds fair, is, Of course, in
teresting.
"The way the Marquis de Mores was
skinned, bunkoed and generally done up
out in Dakota was pretty tough" said a. l..
Bowler, who is stopping at the Grand
Palace hotel.
"pve just returned from Montana, con-
tinued Mr.. Dowler, land while / was in
Butte met Robert Curran, who was tele-
graph operator at Medora during the time
the marquis was in the hight of his glery.
He told me some queer stories, aud guess
the Frenchman doesn't owe the MedoFa
people anything.
He ran bank there and the cashier
bookkeepers, discount clerks, payinE teller,
ami in fact the entire staff of the establish
ment consisted Of De Morss English valet
and big Newfoundland dog. When this
valet was not engaged 10 his mental duties
he attended to the financial affairs of the
ba nix.
"While Curran was there the marquis
bought 10000 head of cattle from two En-
glishmen. They were first-class cattle and
delivered the COWS they worked one of the
neatest skin games that I've ever heard.
Medora, you know, sits in valley, with
table lands on each side Well the En-
glishmen run 5000 head Of cattle In on the
marquis and collected for 0,OOOl They way
they did it was by running the same 5 900
twice around the hill. De Mores never tum-
bled until he had paid his 100000 and the
merry cockneys we're bound for South
America. 1t was clear steal of $500, 900,
but the marquis didn't MAKE much bones
about it. He had plenty of money aud
didn't care.
"He was the game Of everybody in that
section Of the country. He paid four prices
for everything and was theoretically, if not
literally, held up upon every occasion. He
had big schemes, the finest cattle In the
land, but the expenses precluded any gain.
81 came through Medora recently and the
coli-storage warehouses, the abattoir and
the other buildings, besides his ranch, are
all there yet in good condition. Medora, by
| the way. you know, was the name of the
wife Of the marquis. There is still little
| settlement there, where sheep herders and
ranchers fit out and receive mail"

ADVICE FOR LOVERS.
Have No Use for Long Engage
meur6.
From. the Ludgate Weekly.


From the LtIigGte Weekly.
Young woman, beware of the man who
seeks to bind you TO long engagement. No
matter what this pretext may be, his motive
is almost always selfish one.
He is either too lazy 10 work for a family
and too fond Of bis bachelor indulgences to
be willing to renounce them for the purer
and calmer joys Of married life, or is a base
scoundrel, seeking only to win your
affections and your confidence by fraud
of a promise which he never intends TO make
good.
Somebody will ask what we consider a
long engagement. We reply, year is quite
long enough for all purposes, and If it runs
beyond that time, 1t is zoo long.
girl engaged" Ia subject TO all the dis
advantages. She must stay at home, L
cept when her intended sees fit to take her
out, and she must repel all oourtesiss from
other gentlemen, because Tom will be jsal
Gus.
No man who Is young and we'll and has
good moral character is too poor to marry
girl who Is his equal in these respects,
provided he loves her truly and is beloved
by her in return.
For, if they do truly love each other,
they will be willing 10 bear and forbear, 90
work for each other, to pull together, to
paddle hopefully their own domestic canoe,
and fate however relentless she may seem
to be, seldom fails to yield success to those
who toll for IL with fearless hearts and will
ing hands.
You must be willing to bear reverses.
You must expect disappointments. You
must be ready to meet Ill luck and to en-
dure poverty if need be. DONE expect
things to make themselves unless you help
them. Whatever you have must be worked
for, and If it is worth having IL 10 richly
worth working for.
So now, young man, this Is our advice to
you. II you love young girl tell her so
manfully, with no oowardly beating about
the bush
If she says she does not reciprocete your
love it won't kill you. Not at all. There
are others just as good as she.
II she says she loves you and will marry
you. don't ask her to wait till you have
made fortune, but just invite her to come
with you and help you to make one.
Long engagements are calling, like any
other chains. There may be circumstances
which justify them, but they are excep-
tional circumstances, and we are only deal
ing with things as they generally exist
The woman almost always is the chief
sufferer. Her wrong is UNNECESSARILY
greater. She struggles along the weary
years Of waiting in false position, and by
and by her bloom fades and her temper
sours, and then Tom sees somebody younger
and fresher and more attractive, and he il
weary of Mary; and the engagement is
broken, and he marries his new love; and
Mary either marries out Of pique some one
old enough to be her grandfather, or else
she subsidies into an old maid, and SO her
life is wrecked, and all because Of a long
engagements.

MONTICELLO, FLA, Aug. 20.-This part
Of the state has suffered from very exces-

Girls in Peril on a Trestle.
from the 81. LOUIS Globe Democro

Miss Ollie fuller, a well-known young
lady OF Columbus, o., has had a thrilling
escape from terrible death, aud is lying In
a serious condition as a result Of slight in.
juries and extreme nervous prostration.
In company with Mrs. Minnie Thurston,
Miss Rena Lytle, and another lady, Miss
Tuller started from Der residence on For
sythe avenue to attend church at the peni-
Tertiary. Just within shadow of the prison
wall stands a long trestle, over which run
the tracks of the Little Miami railroad. The
street crossing beneath was muddy from the
recent rains, and instead Of descending ths
slope from the street upon which they were
walking, the party of ladies started
to walk across the trestle, which would
bring them near the penitentiary gates. All
but Miss fuller made the journey in safety.
but when she reached the middle of the
frame work an engine came swiftly steam
ing around the corner and bore straight
down upon her. With q frightened shrek
Miss fuller started to run from the huge
iron monster, which seemed almost upon
her while her companions stood helpless
and speeches. with horror. Before she
reached the end of the trestle Miss Tuuer
slipped and fell between the crossties,
where she lay, or rather hung suspended d.
rectly IN the path OF the approaching en-
CINE. The opening between the ties was
not large enough 70 permit the passage of
her body, and, her feet and limbs having
dro oped through, she found herself wedged
between the ties so tightly that escape was
impossible.
At this critical moment the engineer saw
her, and reversing his lever. the locomotive
was brought TO a staudstiil within a few
feet Of the helpless girl She was extricated
from her perilous position ard carried into
the private office Of Warden Jones at the
penitentiary, where Drs. Heinlin and Ire
land examined her injuries. she was found
to be badly bruised but, save for tLc shock,
not seriously injured. aud was able to ride
home Ia a hack.
