II Is remarkable what different ideas

Is, according to the New York
World, woman m that city,
who has reached the dignity Of
being called "uuntie." Her nieces are
accustomed to long lectures on their

To her mind the woman who wears q
light dress and hat tribe larger than

illbred. Yet this woman who has de

her somber gowns a brazilian beetle.
She Is a woman of fashion and dresses.
other than this, In rare good taste.
Her street gowns are of dark cloth,
made with tailor-like simplicity. She
wears them, so she says, in order not to
be conspicuous, while the truth is that
the dark cloth make an effective back
ground To display the beetles luminous
charms, This crawling bug she Inn
ported from South America. Since his
arrival he has been presented with u
gold harness. Great liberties have
been allowed him, for in free and
easy manner he crawls all over his
mistress waist. When attired for the
evening she twists the fine gold chain
TO which he is attached around the high
comb which adorns her hair, and there
the bug flashes and sparlsles, to its own
er's delight. 1t is evident that the
woman and the Brazilian beetle attract
marked attention wherever they go.

A political renegade is the worst
species Of the demagogue. He seems to
imagine that In order to prove his
political proiligacy he must be more
vehement and vindictive toward his
former friends than their life long
enemy Is. Poor old Judge Webb, of
Topeka, is striking example Of this
species. He went into the Legislature
two years ago rs a Republican. He
worked with the Republicans during
the session. After the legislature
adjourned he got mad at two or three
Republican leaders aud TO give vent to
his wrath he jumped clear over into
the enemey's camp, where he has since
found his bed, although 1t is far from
a downy one. The judge is now
attempting to prove the sincerity Of
his conversion by a TRADE of abuse
against the Republicans Of the State

Dicklnson's Prosperity.

The splendid showing Of Dickinson
mortgage record during 1892
rs made by today's REFLECTOR II
something Of which the people Of this
empire may well he proud. For Dick.
inson county is an empire. Its soil
and It's people are unsurpassed gu the
face Of the earth. Rich, fertile, pro-
ductlve, Dickinson county's farms have
never been outranked in the west. Out
Of them have been dug more money
than out Of the mines Of whole noun
tain ranges. Wealth in its purest and
noblest form has been coined by the
farmers Of Dickinson county and the
record shows that 1892 has been year
equal to the best in the accruing
w elvemonths Of our history.
Dickinson county is prospecting. Its
people are in the homely phrase
"forehanded." They have passed thu
old speculative boom days when II waS
the pet scheme for individuals to make
much for nothing. The Legitimate
money earning era has come and the
result 10 becoming apparent In the
financial history Of this county.
Such record for year as the follow
ing for 1892 is something to which
every citizen OF Dickinson county
should call the attention of his friend

There's no chance for any reaction after

They're put up in glass walls, which keep
them always fresh and reliable, unlike the

And they're the cheapest pills you can
