enc cCTrUraTy, MRS: T1Ik1nsOnS demeanor
was that of the high minded and cultivat-
ed lady she IS. She explained that she had
mailed us an invitation, the very first to
be addressed, and could prove it by w
witnesses. When we did not appear, she
was surprised and hurt II freely admit
ted that her party was not a success. She
had never kicked high In Cincinnati, but
always lived in Cleveland and kept both
feet on the ground. Wilkinson was her
only husband, and he never stole a cow in
Ohio nor rode a rail in Indiana. All these
things she firmly convinced us of, and
when she had gone we put on our hat
and went over to the postOftice. The in
competent hyena who runs things over
there saw us as we came in and jumped
for his gun, but we got the drop on him
and held a brief conversation. The result
of 1t vas that he found our missing invi-
tatiOn in the paper bag, where it had been
flung weeks ago. His excuse was that he
took it for q stomach bitters circular and
supposed we didn't want to be bothered
with it. We are not only satisfied that
Mrs. Wilkinson did not intend to give US
the cold cut, but that we nave lone an
injustice to an elegant lady and q noble
minded man. This is all we can do in
the matter, and we hope it may prove suf-
ticient to restore them to full prestige in
local estimation

formed us that he had heard Major
O'Brady call us a stupendOus liar and q
gilt edged fraud. He gave us details and
circumstances with such minuteness that
we could not doubt, though only the week
previous we had lent the major one of our
white shirts to attend a party in.
OF course we buckled on our guns and
sailed forth in search of the traducCr, but
after a two hours hunt we heard that he
had gone down to Tombstone on business
and wouldn't be back for a week. In the
next issue Of THE KICKER we gave his
biography, the chief features of which was
barn burning in Illinois and a five year
sentence to Joliet. The major returned
the other day and walked in on us with a
sad and rcprOachful look in his eyes. In
the first place, he denied in toto that he
had called Us a liar, etc, and in the
next he exhibited legal documents to
prove that he was never an inmate of JOl-
let. The conversation overheard by the
gentleman who reported it to us was about
our esteemed contemporary, as we might
have suspected at once, and our name was
not even mentioned. We are very sorry
that the blundrr occurred and wish to say
50 in this public manner. Instead Of burn
ing a barn in Illinois, the major married
a good looking widow in Indiana who was
possessed Of $4,000 in cash. He did this
without remembering that he already had
a wife in stock. Instead of being sent to
Joliet for five years, the major got off with
one year at Michigan City.
About six weeks ago Mrs. Wilkinson of
COchise Place gave m evening lunch to
celebrate her thirty-cighth birthday II
her departure for Chicago on a visit TO her
sister. As no gathering Of the sort i5con-
sidercd recherche without our presence, we
being the recognized NcAlIistcr of this
town, we got the buttons sCIvcd on our
shirt and our suspendcrs bucklcd up for
the occasion. To our utter establishment,
we received no invitation. Surprising Mrs.
Wilkinson had taken that method Of Civ
ing US the cold cut, the next issue of The
KICKER contained several announcements
Of interest to her. Ono was to the effect
that Wilkinson was a COW thief from Ohio.
Another was that the old lady herself used
to do the high kicking act in a Cincinnati
beer garden. Something was said about
her two or three husbands, each on the
Ohio river, and something more about
Wilkinson being tarred and feathercd III
indianapolis. We are very generous heart
ed when we get to writing about these
things and never keep anything back.
Three or four days ago Mrs. wilkinson
returned homo, and she didn't wait to
unite her Chicago bonnet or kick her
shoes into a corner before calling at THE
KICKER office. She found us in. We heard
her kick the agricultural editor and smash
the hat Of the commercial and marine re
porter as she passed them on the way to
our sanctum, and We were prepared for

He came into the car with a satchel and
two or three bundl as the train pulled
out of an Ohio town and took a seat be
sido me. AS he was a communicative
man, we soon entered into conversation,
but every two or three minutes l noticed
that he counted his parcels and acted as if
he missed something. l finally ventured
to observe:
Are you sure you didn't leave any

That's what botherS me-, he replied.

APOLOGETICAL.-Some three weeks ago
THE KICKER had a local item to the effect
that Peter Drew, proprietor of the Red
Horse saloon, had been obliged to skip
from Sante Fe on account of gouging a
mans eye out in a fight. 1t was added
nat Mr.. Drew had a hangdog look and
was evidently a good subject for the vigi-
lance committee to look after.
Last week Mr.. Drew called on us with
a letter Of introduction. He also brought
afidavits from several responsible parties
in Santa Fe to the effect that he was a
quiet, peaceful citizen and had never had
a quarrel with any n in that town. We
had never seen the gentleman but once,
and that was in the evening when taking

German Papers Monopoly.
!, the National Advertiser.

From the National Advertiser.
To anyone unaccustomed to read
ing German newspapers, their ad-
vertising columns appear to be
principally made up of undertake
ers' advertisements or funeral an
nOunCements. For some unknown
reason the undertakers are great
advertisers in German newspapers,
and as it is the fashion of these
papers to line most of the display
advertisements with rules, as a
heavy mourning border, a very
melancholy effect is produced.
A little discrimination might be
shown by the German publishers
in arranging their advertisements
for in one New York German
newspaper we find the advertise
ments of undertakers appearing
among those of restaurants and
beer halls. Now, what inference
is to be drawn from the advertise
ments of a 50-cent table d'hote APP
pearing next to the card of ad es-
tablishment which offers to per-
form the last sad rites with
prOmptness and dispatch?

Rouse eau Had the Right Idea.

"Childhood has it's manner Of
seeing, perceiving and thinking Pc
culiar to itself. Nothing is more
absurd than our being anxious to
substitute our own in its stead."-
| Rousseau.
The proper method is to find out
the bent of the child's mind and
encourage it along that line of
thought. The child will ask enough
questions. All you have to do is to
answer it's questions or give 1t
chance to answer them for itself,
and it will find its way to an educa-
ton to which it is adapted.
Many a promising boy has left
his fathers roof, entered the busy
life of the world to take up the first
pursuit open to him, simply be-
cause he had made no study Of the
different careers open to the boy of
today. He had no preference. Did
he make a success? We doubt 1T,
and worse than ill success his later
life was clouded with profound re-
greet that he had not adopted some
other career than the one he did, for
with his talents, if he had but chos-
en- early in his life, brilliant sue
cess and fame would have been his.
There is but one way to remove
this chance of failure from your
sons path. 1t is to teach him to
study and investigate. Let him
learn of the different lines of work
and professions in this life. Let
him read of the careers of the
worlds greatest men and then you
may have no fear but that he will
naturally choose career for which
his talents fit him. We know of
no finer library for his use, no bet
ter source from which he can draw
his knowledge than the famous

How to Do It.

a well known authority on news
paper advertising gives the follow
ing useful hints in regard to the
preparation of advertisements by
retailers. "Try to tell the public,
in as interesting way as possible,
about one or two of your recent
novelties" he says, "rather than
attempt to enumerate your entire
stock. John Jones cannot best at
tract customers by advertising that
he keeps "a full stock of stationery,
pens, inks, mucilage, pads, albums,
files, pencils, inkstands, fountain
pens, sealing wax, etc. Any we'll
regulated stationery store contains
these articles. But let Mr.. Jones
try advertising some special thing
each week-something new, if pos
sible-and note how much differ
ence there will be in his returns.
For example, if he receives nov
city in notepaper, let him write
bright, snappy advertisement of
it, what it's merits are and so on.
Don't be afraid of going into de-
tails. Another point: Have new
advertisement every week. Don't
let the old one go in twice if you
can help it. No matter if you do
have to pay little more for
changing copy regularly; it is bet
ter to have a new advertisement
in every other week tina the same
card in every issue"
