the minority and not the majority that pre-

recently"

HE PRIZES THE eANDAGE.

The Life of q Young Man Saved by the
Petticoat of Fair Texan.
Arthur Kaufman, young Memphian
who was in the wreck on the Wabash
road. arrived home with his head bound
up in a bloody white bandage, which he
regards as his most precious possession.
He says gold and jewels couldn't buy
that strip of cloth. Kaufman says that
when the collision came something hit
him, and he lost consciousness. When
he regained his senses, he was lying be-
side the wreck of the car, bleeding copi-
ously from deep cut on the head and
unable to help himself. Just as he was
about to faint again from weakness, an
awfully pretty girl came up and spied
him. She was Miss Taylor Of Jeffer-
son, Tex, who had escaped injury in
the wreck.
She realized at once that the young
man would bleed to death if not attend
ed to. Without moments hesitation
she whipped off her petticoat and tear
ing out strip bound it tightly on Kauff-
mans head. The bleeding was checked
and his life saved. To say that he feels
deeply grateful to the fair Texan would
be drawing it very mildly. and he VOWS
he will keep the bandage as long as he
lives.-Memphis Cor. st. Louis Republic.

haps half gill of raw whisky.
Nobody could blame him for taking it
now. He would do it to save his life
only for that. Without some fresh ac-
cess of strength and energy he would
not be able to move hand or limb. The
lethargic condition was gaining upon
him, and resistance was scarcely posi-
BILE unless the fiery spirit should stimu-
late his vitality. Come, there was some
good in the stuff yet if it saved a mans
life!
Accordingly he drew out the cork Of
the bottle with his teeth, and the strong
odor rose gratefully to his nostrils. He
had right to it this time.
Suddenly voice appeared to come out
Of the darkness and the storm-a voice
that made him pause in the very act of
drinking:
what good is his life? It doesn't
benefit one living creature-not even
himselfl"
He trembled with more than cold, and
his hand fell from hismouth. Who said
that2 God or the devil?
Whoever said it, it was true -fatally.
miserably true! A great horror Of him
self and loathing Of the life he was
about to try and preserve, an infinite
pity and tenderness for the girl whose
young existence had been blighted

came. to him at that moment. Like an
overwhelming wave swept the aecumu-
lated misery and disgrace and remorse
Of years over the soul Of the poor drunk

seized upon him, and with the last feeble
remnant Of his strength he threw the
bottle AWAY. Il rolled down the. side Of

probable that the writer of the above
note changed his rash intention to
destroy himself, as none of the Rock
