The AsTI.WIDew CRUSADE.
Unfair 90 Marry Twice when some
Girls Can't Marry Once.

Our English cousins are famous for
their peculiar and perverted ideas regard
ing the institution Of matrimony. En-
gland is to-day the one civilized country
in which II is an ofiense against the law
for man to marry his deceased wife's
sister. Repeated attempts have been
made to repeal the antiquated and absurd
statute which restricts the freedom Of the
British widower in this respect, but they
have all been defeated. And now new
Limitation as to matrimonial privileges is
proposed by that awe.inspiring person
age, the British Matron. 1t is nothing
less than an organization TO educate pub
lie opinion against the marriage Of
widows.
The reasons given for this queer motive
are severely practical. The British Ma
tron is an eminently practical individual.
1t is held that inasmuch ms the feminine
population of the United Kingdom con.
sidera5ly exceeds the male population, it
is manifestly unfair to allow one woman
to marry twice when many women can
not marry even once. Since there are
not enough men TO go around, II is pro-
posed to insure as nearly fair dlstribu.
ton as possible by refusing to permit any
woman to monopolize the affections OF
more than one man. This scheme will
be likely to strike the irreverent Ameri-
can mind as distinctly funny. But the
British Matron is not gifted with an acute
sense OF humor.
Agitate the matter as they will, the So
date middle aged danes and chronic ere
formers" of Her Msjesty's dominions
will not be able to conquer the invincible
widow. She is not to be Bubdued 30
easily. The elder Weller's historic adj
Duration, "Samivel, beware of vidders,"
was not uttered without good reason. The
charms Of the English miss, in whose
behalf the English mammas are conduct
ing their anti-widow crusade, pale beside
the mature Vaccinations, the irresistible
coquetry, Of the youthful and comely
widow.
To the maiden, men are superior and
awful persons whose ways and thoughts
are yelled in the rosy mist OF illusion,
whose words are concrete wisdom and
whose approach sets the heart fluttering
and sends the telltale blush to cheek and
brow. To the widow the masculine mind
is an open book. For her the male sex
has lost its fancied superiority. Its foibes
and weaknesses are as familiar as the
follies of her own sex. The widow knows
that most men prefer home comforts to
being worshiped; that they are not pal
adins, but matter of fact and unromantic
beings, and that they enjoy the frank,
bright comradeship of an intelligent wo-
man hundred times better than the shy
and tentative remarks of blushing girls.
Possessing this knowledge the widow
would be more or less than feminine If
she failed to make the most of it. Her
vantage ground is one from which she
can afford to view with amusement the
efforts of her enemies to dislodge her.

No one need fear that We shall fall TO
the single standard OF silver. That talk
is sheer twaddle. II the amendment
suggested above--a similar plan has
many staunch advocates among leading
financiers-to our vaults would be brought
the surplus silver production Of Mexico,
Peru, Chile and all the South American
republics, in exchange for our silver GER
tifcates, which, being the superior cur
rency, would in those countries take the
place OF the peso, sol and Mexican dollar,
with the attendant result that the COM
mercial exchanges between those coun.
tries and our own would be enormously
increased and the London merchant
would no longer FIX the prices Of silver

THE COWBOY IN A NEW ROLE.

A big fellew with Mexican SOM
brero and coat most fearfully and
wonderfully emblazoned with silver
buttons and gold braid climbed out of
the caboose, says letter from Okla
homa, and ''cussed' the COW punchers
who were endeavoring to mitigate the
situation, In language most awful to
behold l Immediately conceived the
idea that he was particularly dan
gerous and reckless man and with
drew my former mental motion to
leave the train and stroll about. But
presently cowboy in our car sighted
this formidable person, waved his
hand out the window, and shouted
Hey Billw In a few seconds they
were in familiar converse, and then a
baby, whom a small woman in a black
sunbonnet and bingham dress had
been vainly trying to lull into speech
lessness since we left Guthrie, began
to cry in most particularly nerve
racking key.
Instantly the fierce looking pirate
from Texas sighted the pulling infant
and incompetent mother. With few
long strides he entered the car, said
never word to the woman, but lifted
the baby from her arms, chucked the
silver laced hat into vacant seat, and
before his train pulled out he had the
little one fast asleep and most of the
other male occupants OF the car thor
oughly ashamed of themselves. And
he did not wear heavy bolster with
a big pistol in it either. Columbus
did not discover America and William
Tell never was, and by the same token
the American cowboy is an ever last
ing reproach to his traducers.

Strong And Weak Spelling.

Speaking in a broad and general
way, and admitting that everyone is
liable to misspell word of the English
language at some time in his life,
spoilers, says the Youths Companion,
may be divided into two classes the
strong spoilers" and the weak SPELL
ers." What "strong- spelling" means
may be illustrated by the ortho-
graphical maxim and practice of an
excellent gentleman who is now dead.
His rule was: "Ncrer misspell a word
for want of putting in enough letters"
Acting on this principle he spelled
girl gearle, do doe, and get gette.
This trait would seem to Indicate
liberal disposition. and this gentle
man was certainly very literally
minded man. His strong spelling"
did not prevent him from serving the
public acceptably in several capacities.
Another strong speller always in
sisted upon writing the word "per-
haps' thus: perhapse. Though he was
frequently demonstrated with and re-
peatedly told that there was no final g
In the word he continued to spell it
that way. A thoroughly strong
speller" always seems to be accorded a
certain sympathy and even admiration
by those who ordinarily spell correct
ly, while 4 weak speller" is always
laughed at.
" hat weak spelling" means may be
illustrated by the case of a gentleman
VINO recently wrote enthusiasm"
thus: entheusam, and who generally
spells suggest sojest. The same
gentleman is known to have spelled
penalty pelenty, but peculiarly of
his case Is that he never mispronounces
word. and always appears in CONVEX
satlon what he certainly is, a cultivated
gentleman.

CHASED BY A BOX CAR.

Il was chased once by box car"
said an ex-railroad man. to Kansas
City Journal representative. 1T was
out in Colorado, the land OF steep
grades and sharp curves. We were
sliding down the mountains one day
with a baggage car and two coaches.
| was on the rear platform looking at
the road when l deserted box car
coming down the grade at a rate of
speed that was appalling. If it struck
us we were gone sure, for 1t would
smash the entire train into klndling
wood and pile it up In one of the gorges.
Our only hope was to either outrun CT
wreck it. The engineer caught sight
of it at the same instant that l did,
and put the lever down among the tai
low pots.
1t appeared impossible that we
could hold the track on the sharp
curves while moving more than a
mile minute, but we did, and the
box car continued to saw wood. If
we could once get to the foot OF the
grade we would be safe, but that was
soon seen to be impossible. Rapidly
as we were going the box car con-
tinued to gain upon us, and now we
could see that it was loaded with iron.
Something must be done and that
quickly All the passengers had fled
into the forward coach, and were
hanging on to the seats. [ signaled
the engineer to shut off, set brake
hard on the rear coach, pulled the pin
and the engineer opened the throttle.

before the box car ran into the coach

A STORY OF THE CONFEDER
Adv

During the civil war John Letcher
was governor of the State of Virginia.
John was wirepuller and slatemaker
in politics, though not much of
talker, but he made one speech to jeff
Davis which Davis thoroughly under
stood and which probably saved
Stonewall Jackson from being shell
we'd or retired to some subordinate
command, says the Portland Or
egOnian.
1t was after Stonewall jackson had
driven Gen. Banks across the Shenan-
doah and was preparing to attack Nc
DOwell and Shields that Jeff Davis, as
was his custom to have a hand in all
military affairs, sent an order to
jackson which did not strike jackson
as polite and which, had it been car
ried out, would undoubtedly have re-
suited IN the success of the campaign
on the side of the federal forces and
possibly the humiliation of Jackson's
command. 1t irritated old Stonewall,
and he sent Davis this laconic reply:
Send me less orders and more men"
On receipt of the message jeff
Davis issued an order through Secre-
tary of War Randolph relieving Jack
son from command in the Shenan-
doah valley. This came to the ears of
Gov. Letcher, and, arrayed in his best
bib and tucker, with his broad Pana-
ma hat. gold spectacles, and cane, and
his gubernatorial nose high in the air
fletcher was a stiff brandy drinker
and his proboscis was carbunclsd and
red), as who should say: Am l not a
governor par excellence?' thus ar
rayed In his best and in high indig-
nation, on warm Sabbath morning,
his excellency arrived at the residence
of President Davis on Shockoe Hill.
rs President Davis at home?"
queried the governor to the servant at
the door.
Yes, sir; will you step in, governors"
SAID the servant.
NO, sir" said Letcher. Tell Presi
dent Davis that the governor of the
State of West Virginia desires to see
him"
Davis was notified and immediately
came to the door, greeting the Cover
nor with:
Come in, govern or. Delighted to
see you, sir
The governor, drawing himself ND
stitfly, and without further prelimin-
airy, said:
Mr.. President, am l correctly in
formed that you have caused an OF
der to be issued through the secretary
of war relieving Maj. Gen. L. j.
jackson from his command in North
ern Virginia? Is this information
correct, sir?'
We'll, yes, governor" said Davis.
Il consider that it is for the best in
terest of affairs that Gen. Jackson be
relieved from his command
Gov. Letcher: president Davis, /
called on you personally to learn if
this order is to be promulgated, and
to say to you. sir, that when Mai. Gen.
L. j. jackson is relieved from his
command | shall also issue an order
Withdrawing the troops of the State
of Virginia from the field. Good
sir" and turning on his heel.
he left the astonished president of the
to his reflections.
It's well known that this prompt ac-
ton on the part of Gov. Letcher put
a stopper on Davis and that the order
was never issued. These facts were
obtained from an officer high in ser
vice in the confederate government at
that time.
