 WHtrPLE BARRACKS. Feb. I5.-TEd- itor JnCRS AL-MINER In your issue of the 14th instant, you gave the details of trou hle occurring in the Royal saloon at Prescott, on the night Of inc 18th instant. between a soldier uf this garrison and a citi- zen uf the town. Your account Is substantially what an investigation made by me showed the facts of the quarrel Ia be. But in your remarks on subsequent events you have been led into error. You say, "The receipt of the news at Whipple, among bis comrades, is said to have caused the greatest excitement, and it was found necessary for two armed officers to guard the gun racks of tha company Co which he belonged to prevent the men from taking their arms and averaging his death" There is absolutely no foundation in fact for this state ment. No armed officers guarded gun racks, and no cause existed for this or any similar action. No steps by enlisted men looking to re- sentiment of the act of Suffice was at any tiHe contemplated.
 Twill esteem 1t a favor if you will accord this note the same publicity yo0 have given your original ac- count Very respectfully, your Obedleut servant.

evening and had waxed quite indig-

cident he had witnessed during the
day. He takes his luncheon at a
down town restaurant where girls
are employed as walters.
II had just taken my seat to-
day" said he, "when big sensuous
looking man came in and sat down
at the table next to mine. The girl
who waited on him was a very
homely little body, but neat and
quick. He stared at her while she
took his order. When she went
to have it filed he called the cashier
whom he knew. gWhat do you
keep such a looking skate as that
here for2" said he with an injured
air. The cashier mumbled some
thing and the big man scowled at
the girl every time she came near
him. Presently the cashier called
tho girl to his desk. When she
turned to leave her lips were drawn
tight and 1 saw she could scarcely
keep from crying. She got her hat
and bonnet, went to the desk, and
was paid and walked dismissed

see nothing but the physical animal

Killing Time.

A young lady informs us that she
gets so lonesome, and wishes us to
"give her a way of killing time.
We never had so much time that we
desired to kill a portion of it. aIife
has no overflow to atone for the lost
yesterdays. and the time you so
thoughtlessly kill will pass away
into eternity, for which there can be
no resurrection. How can this life
be to one only an idle dream, where
there are so many opportunities for
doing good2 so much earnest work
to be accomplished and who wants
a fearful account standing against
one for akilling timer We never
have much sympathy for the class
of people who are always so lone
some" Each one should have a
work to do-a purpose in life. Who
lacks an aim never finds success
After allowing yourself proper time
for rest, don't live a single hour
without doing what there is to do.
Work, play or study, whatever it is,
do we'll and let>no moments be lost.
1t is wonderful to see how much
Improvement can be made by the
right use of time that dawdlers
waste. We pass this way but once

The Kiss.

AT last Ella Wheeler Wilcox has
turned her attention to the subject
of kissing. She proposes to abol-
ish the practice SO far as the ordi-
nary commercial kiss is concerned.
But she acknowledges that there is
one kind that will not down.
"The kiss upon the lips was un-
doubtedly first invented by lovers
and should be consecrated to loves
uses. 1t can never be abolished by
fashion or science, while hearts
beat, veins tingle and pulses throb
with loves fires.
1t is spontaneous impulse of two
fond beings drawn together by a
mysterious attraction. Eloquent in
its silence it succeeds where words
fail. Many a woman has had her
heart revealed to her through a
kiss, and knowing when to give and
fEhniioh fETds me secret OF winning or losing.
As many prizes have been lost by
the kiss too long withheld as by the
one too easily given. To the woman
the kiss means more and less than
it means TO the man. The woman
thinks the man who takes her lips
has given his heart; but the man
thinks only that she who has given
her lips will give herself as we'll.
When the woman finds her mistake
she is disillusionized; when the man
finds his, he is angry; when the
thrill of pleasure goes out of the
kiss for two people, and it becomes
mechanical duty, love has depart
ed. Friendship may bind them, re-
spect may unite them, and sympa-
thy render their association sweet
and tender; but when lip no longer
speaks to lip, in the wordless elo-
quence of the kiss, Cupid has sheath
ed his arrows and flown away.

A School Case Of Interest.

In the Supreme Court last Wed.
nesday decision was rendered in
the case of David VS.. Board of Edu.
cation, from Greenbrier county, re.
versing the decree of the Circuit
Court and dismissing the cause.
In this case the Board of Education
had undertaken to erect a new
school building at Ronceverte, to be
paid out of the levies of ensuing
years. After the structure was
partly built suit was brought to en-
join them from completing the
work, upon the ground that it was
unlawful for the Board to incur debts
to be paid out of levies of succeed
ing years. Judge Campbell granted
the injunction, and decided against
the Board. The matter was ap-
pealed, and the Supreme Court re-
verses the lower Court and dis
misses the case against the Board.
This is surprise to most Iaymen,
who, from the reading of the law,
supposed that it was plain and i'm

which this decision is based. Judge

w. ere Do You Carry Your Cashl

Oe-SA1s
1 can remember the time when
nearly every man carried his ready
cash in pocketbook, the old fash
ioned ones that rolled up predomi-
mating. But now, not one in 500
men carry regular receptacle for
money. A little card case is gen
orally placed in the inside vest
pocket, and sometimes you will see
men put large bills in these, but
most men carry their money in
some one of their pockets. Now
you can tell a man of sporting pro-
clivities just as soon as he takes out
his money. He carries it in a roll
in the left hand pocket of his trous-
ers, and every time he spends a
dime will flash this roll. Some men
put their money in their hip pock-
cts, in lieu of a gun; others in the
vest pockets, but most men carry
their cash in the little fob in the
waistband of their trousers. 1 have
known cautious men to place mon
ey in different pockets to avoid be.
ing cleaned out should the light
fingered gentry connect with them
However, the man who carries q
real, bona, fide pocket book, as o
old, is considered eccentric these
days.-&. Louis Globe.

As her fancy surely shifts
To the thoughts of wedding gifts.

All acquaintances must pay

Gold embelllshed dressing cases,
Rings and brooches, silver mugs,
Entree dishes, claret jugs

We don't want such gifts at ALL

That involves house more spacious.

That can only go first class.

How can we such things live up tor
Every present of pretense
Means for me increased expense.
Would that such gifts could ban

When a man and maiden marry
Hearts of lead their friends all carry.

Costly presents at their hands;
Ostentation. too, coerces,
So they empty out their purses,
Fearful lest their names be missed

They denounce the soriid fashion,

Avoiding a Mix.

morrow"

"But it is, sir. There's one man

Room, for Lm

The woman who is fitted to sym
pathize with the pursuits and inter-
ests of a husband will be equally
well fitted to adorn society and to
elevate its tone; nor will she find
her gifts wasted. There is ample
field for the work of intellectual
women and of business women who
can give their time to work outside
their own homes. There need be
no question of woman's sphere OF
rights. The world needs workers
in its noblest fieIds-it matters-not
whether they be man or women,
married or single-there is room
for them all.
Let the girls make of themselves
the best they can; let the mothers
do their best in training them
