A man rushed into a telegraph
Office, seized a telegraph blank and
pen, and by propping himself against
the counter managed to write the
following message:

"Whatll that cost?" said the man,
handing the message through the

"Let me see; eight words, 25

"The same price; anything not ex-
ceeding twelve will cost you a quar-

look of vengeance in his eye.
The operator counted the words,

there was no sense in the message,

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Doesn't Like Colored Stockings.

Queen Victoria always had a mania
for white stockings, and when col
ored hose first came to be generally
worn she actually prohibited them
in court circles. On one occasion a
royal princess was dismissed from the
presence chamber because she wore
a pair of black silk stockings with a
colored gown. The venerable lady
was obliged to give in at last, how
ever, and colored stockings have
been generally worn in the Queens
household for several years. Now,
however, that white is so much in
fashion, white stockings have APP
peared again. which so pleases the
sovereign that she herself ordered
twenty-five pairs for Princess Mays

Do Men Like Prison Life2

think, said detective the other
day, there must be a fascination about
life in jail, for certain men who have
been in there for little while seem to
leave it with regret, and do not lose
sheir interest in what goes on in prison
for some time after they are released.
Again and again l have noticed men
who have been confined for few
months come back every day after their
release and stand at the door, looking in.
They had no friends in there, unless
they made friends among the other
prisoners, and they did not speak or
wish to speak to any one. They leaned
against the grated door and looked in,
as if they wanted to come back.
really think some of them become
attached to the life, and one reason is
that unless they are men of gentle feel
ings they do not feel the shame of their
position as long as they are inside, but
when they come out and meet other men
they know they have the jail stain on
them, and they imagine every one sees it.

there by the door, and wondered what

IN her agony, 50 that she could scarcely
articulate.
Sprewell hurried before the nearest
magistrate and swore out a warrant
charging young Music with rape.
The latter was arrested, examined and
jailed There he fingered, awaiting trial
before the superior court.
Before any great while elapsed the
wronged wife discovered how grossly
she had been decei2ed by her unfaithful
husband.
Up to this time she had, perhaps
above all things, desired the punishment
of the villain who assaulted her. But
the discovery made great change in her
feelings.
Perhaps she was desperate.
She sent for the justice of the peace
before whom the warrant had been taken
out and told him she felt so keenly her
disgrace and modification because of
the conduct of her husband and the
double indignity to which she had been
subjected, that she believed it would kill
her to 60 into court and tell the story
that rather than do so she preferred to
die or let the case be dropped
To this she made an affidavit which
the justice put with the other papers in
the case and filed away in the court house
in Newman.
Later, Music's attorney, Col Hewlett
Hall, submitted the affidavit to Judge
Sam Harris, at Carrollton, who upon the
showing made permitted Music to be re-
leased on $500 bond
Overwhelmed by their affliction Sprew-
ell and his wife left the settlement where
they had resided and removed to Carroll
county, where they now live with Mrs.
Sprewell's father, about four miles from
Carrollton.
After reaching there, Sprewell swore
out the warrant charging Music and his
father with having operated an Illicit
distillery. 1t was upon this warrant that
the two were brought here under arrest
this week.
The more serious case against young
Music has not been dropped.
1t is reported that the father of Mrs.
Sprewell, who is respectable farmer,
VOWS that he will prosecute the man who
SO UNANIMOUSLY wronged his child, to the
bitter end

Location unsurpassed; new and hand
some furniture throughout; large addi-
tional building, more than doubling the
schools actual capacity for boarding pu-
pills, though the number of boarders will
positively be limited to fewer than were
formerly crowded into the old building.
Health is not less important than mental
training, and the physical welfare of
young ladies will be looked after here as
at no other college in the South. Single
beds will be used-a separate bed for
each pupil A part of the Physical Gull
ture Department will be included in the
regular curriculum, without additional
charge.
The faculty will be selected with great
care. and the instruction will be the best
thorough at every point.
The musical advantages can easily be
shown to be unequalled elsewhere in the
South.
The departments of Art, Eloeution
and Physical Culture will be under the
direction of specialists of high grade.
The social training will have due at
tention, and the aim will be to develop
the highest type of refined and cultured
womanhOad.
No sectarian teaching will be allowed,
but the great aim of the College will be
to create by earnest and painstaking eff
fort such a MORAL ATMOSPHERE as will
tend to develop the noblest type Of
christian character.
All girls will be in the same building
with Mrs. Simmons, and will be looked
after not less carefully than if they were
at home with their mothers. If your
daughter is old enough to begin school
at all, she is too old for you to deny her
the best advantages you can afford 10
give,
The FOUNDATION is the important
thing; and the greatest success in music
OF art demands the earliest possible be-
ginning under the most competent of
teachers.
In the boarding department special
apartments will be provided for young
children, who will have the most careful
supervision and training.
While there will be very young chill
dren in the Primary Department, there
will be on the other hand postgraduate
students in literature, art or music, from
a number of the best known Southern
colleges.
The charges for board and full tnition
IN regular course will be from 500 IA
S21O Der scholastic year. French, Ger
man. etc., are NOT charged for as extras.
Special courses can be arranged for if de
sired, emitting the studies of The regular
curriculum.
The list of extras is very short, includ-
ING Music and Art, and special lessons in
Eiocution and Physical Culture such as
are not included among the studies OF
the regular curriculum.
If yo1 wish to engage a place, it il
suggested that it would be well to do sc
