ACQUISITION OF PR0PRlETY

A curious question OF proPriety
often comes uD among women which
neither conventionality nor sentiment
has ever wholly settled to everybody
satisfaction-that is, the line to be
drawn in the sending of formal invi
tatlOns to people who have recently
gone two different ways. From one
point of view it is judged thatto send
cards to gay functions shows lack Of
sympathy with the sorrows of ones
! friend and is as well direct intrus-
ion upon it. On the other hand, to
ignore the names IN black on ones
list is, Of course, to leave open the
doubt that because temporarily
Withdrawn from gayety, they have
been forgotten. Moreover, ii must
be admitted that in many cases
mourning is largely a matter of form.
This is neither regrettable or, as it
NAV seem on the face, hear,less.
Respect for the dead IS = desirable
thing even when a deeper thing is
impossible. And admitting the case
OF those who feel most deeply, there
really seems no lack Of delicacy in
including them in ones thought
with an invitation, which must
stand il interpreted in the kindest
sense, as only remembrance. The
resolution of mourning is something
that no doubt will come to pass in
due time. There will be less unmean
ing Grape worn, but until this end is
accomplished and the signs OF woe
are reserved entirely for those whose
atf1iction is beyond all casual comfort
or intercsts-to be held in the mind
Of friends even at the inauguration
Of their merrymaking-will seem
10 many not only proper but good.
Speaking of etiquette in this
particular line, a word is timely about
the spirit in which weddings are
often taken. As a usual rule people
in mourning classify them with any
social doing-balls, dinners, teas
and decline to represent on the same
theory of propriety. Ofthe wedding
breakfast or the wedding reception,
this is indeed possible, but concern
ing the marriage ceremony If,
whether held in a church or a hous.
reason appears somewhat at fault
when it is treated on the same
grounds with dancing german.

fast. When Elsie was thirteen davs
old she weighed one pound and Il
ounces.
When she was enough like an ordln
ary baby to breathe the air that other
babes breathe, Elsie was taken from
the incubator aad laid in a basket,
padded with the Softest cotton and
lined with silk. Then she began to
take her food from tiny spoon through
her own mouth, and it was about this
tine that the little girl found her voice.
The first time that she cried her mother
who was convalesclng in the next room
burst into tears of joy. 1t was more
than month after she had bldden
good bye to the incubator and had
lived in the open air as o'her babies
lived before little Elsie could be hand
led as their charges. The new skin
and the new finger nails were very
tender and very fragile. But by and
by the little girl began to grow round
and plump, and before year had
passed she gave promise of becoming
a sturdy, well developed little girl as
she is today.
When the fame of little Elsie and
her incubator became noised abroad,
physicians and medical students
crowded the nursery. Letters from
scientific people all over the world
filled Papa Raymond'S mail, until, as
Re says, life became burden to him
and he had to leave the city for a
vacation. Only few days ago Mr..
Ramona received letter from Prof.
Van Holkep. of Heidelberg University.
inclosing a draft and asking that a
picture of the wonderful baby sent to
him. Mr.. RAYMOND sent the picture
as requested and returned the draft
with it.
The little girl, who is hye years old
now, is fat and healthy and full and
round and rosy as she can be. There
is nothing about her to indicate what a
romantic infancy she had except little
round spot on her head where the hair
has never grown. This is supposed to
be an indication of a blow received
when her mother tell down stairs. She
has never been to school. Her mother
has taken charge of her early education
at home. Elsie speaks French and
Italian as we'll as she does English, and
she is very naturally the pride OF her
parents hearts and life.
Elsle's father is a we'll known man
in this town. He has money enough to
stop keeping restaurant Whenever he
chooses to. He is a member Of the
Tammany Hall General Committee OF
his district, and an active man in hall a
dozen stock companies. He lives at
No. 2o3 East Seventeeth street.

FEW WILD HORSES LEFT.
Once There Were Countless Bands OF
Them.

When Christopher Columbus in
I4o2 first landed on our shores there
were no horses in either North, South
or Central America, nor IN any of the
adjacent islands.
On his second voyage the great dis
cuverer brought several with him to
San Domingo and Cuba, and Cortez in
ms.ynduced his mounted and
mailed consquastador into Mexico.
Eight years later, 1897, De VEGA, a
Spaniard, his vessel laden with horses
and IN distress, was compelled 10 seek
the mainland near St. Augustine, Flor
ida, and many OF his animals escaping
into the swamps and woods formed
the nucleus of the various wild bands
that later on swarmcd over the South
eastern part of the United States.
Francisco Pizarro crossed the 18TH
mus of Panama in 1880, and with his
mounted troopers, seeking a southerly
course they rode down through
Granada into Peru, TO the utter aston
ishmet and bewilderment Of the simple
natives, who had never seen a horse
before.
The result OF these various eXpendi-
tions has been the populating of both
continents of American with vast herds
of wild, untamed horses, the main
stock of which sprang from the domes-
tic breeds which were first brought to
the new World by the Spaniards nearly
four centuries ago.
Occasionally, in battle and other
wise, these animals escaped from their
owners and wandering forth without
check or hindrance ultimately became
the progenitors of our American mus.
tangs, cayuses, bronchos and ponies
which are to be found almost from the
confines of the Arctic circle 10 the limit:
OF Patagonia.
By natural increase the wild stock
grew so rapidly in numbers that at one
time the praires OF the West, the table
lands of Mexico, and the pampas O
South America were literally dottec
with countless bands of these fee
footed creatures.
Indeed, at the present writing
although they have disappeared from
North America almost as rapidly as th'
bison, yet in Mexico and South Amer
lea they are still TO be found in con
siderable numbers. Travellers tell u
that herds ten thousands strong ar
today seen feeding on the plain
extending from the Argentine Republic
to lower Patagonia.
In the United States they are almos

THE SPRING.

making radical changes in regard to
health. During the winter, the system
becomes to certain extent clogged with
waste, and the blood loaded with i'm

confinement in poorly ventilated shops
and homes, and ooher causes. This is
the cause of the dull. sluggish, tired
feeling so general at this season, and
which must be overcome. or the health
may be entirely broken down. Hoods

Deputy Sheriff Smlddy Shoots a Miner
In the Leg.

Tf--~~-s-H-=s
KNOXVILLE, April 13.--Jellico was
IN a perturbed state yesterday after
noon.
About one hundred shots were fred
there yesterday afternoon and when
thessmoke cleared away one man was
unable to shuttle his carcass.
The disturbance was created by two
wild and woolly and drunken miners
who concluded to paint the town red. |
In accordance.with this determine
ton they pulled their undertakers dc.
lights and began to pump leaden mis-
slles at Deputy Sheriff Smiddy.
WANTED BY THE sHERIFE.
Deputy Sheriff s9niddy, it seems,
had a warrant for Inc arrest OF both OF
the men and they knew it.
Just as the shooting began Deputy
Sheriff Smith, of Campbell county,
appeared upon. the scene and backed
Smiddy's hand in the desperate game.
The miners petreated behind the
corner Of house and emptied their
guns at the officers. After this an.
loading took pace the miDers began
to leave Jellico. They didA't take
very long about it apd wsre closely
followed by the two deputy sheriff
and several citizens.
Along about this time things began
to get interesting. The miners d.!
persed and took positions, on tn
mountain side, behind rocks an 4 ire,
and kept shooting at the deputh
from all sides, Deputy SVliddy got
bead on one fellow who was cAasir
himself across an open space and sh
him through the leg,
The bullet passed through the CT
81 the miners leg and he fell forwa
on his face with howl OF agony.
The deputies, after lodging him
Jail, took out after the rest OF the d
peradoes and succeeded in capturi
one Of them in a thioket near
Birds Eye mines.
This man was surrounded before
knew it. AS he attempted to esc'
from the thicket Deputy Sheriff SIN
covered him with pistol and up W
the desperado's hands.
Both OF these men were taken
Williamsburg last. night and lodge'
Jail.
The deputy shsriffs, Smiddy
Smith, state that the miners ar
from the East Tennessee mines
are some OF them members of
Coal Greek brotherhood Since
Coal Greek disturbances the mi
lust naturally don't have very n
use for officers and will shoot at
minion OF the law that happens
in range.
Sheriff Smiddy returned to j.
this morning with the determine
to secure the arrest Of several Q
miners who took part in the RI
yesterday.
