THE Montgomery County (Mo.
Leader, referring to the land loan
scheme, says: You can only Judge
the government the same as you
would an individual. With the
government having a deficit staring
it in the face. and a general talk OF
issuing $3.50, 600 600 worth of 5onda
to meet its obligations, we can't see
how it can loan money at 2 per cent
or any other percent, for that matter.
The great trouble with people to-
day, they want something for moth
ing, or want the government to pro-
vide their living If you have got
a dollars worth OF produce or grain,
you can get a dollar for it, If there
was twice the money in circulation,
how could you get any of it, unless
you had something to offer in ex-
change.

Charles Happier, one of the defend
ants, was the next witness. He cor
roborated the other witnesses for the
defense as to what took place at the
meeting on June 29Gh, and denied
having anything at all to do with de-
tanning No. on that day. On the
night of July 18th when the bridges
were burned he swore he was at Ber-
nard & Hills saloon until about 1890
when he went to Harris saloon and
played cards with Howard. Cummings
and McCreary. He also testified that
no action was taken at any meeting
relative to disabling the table or
destroying the minutes Of the A. h.
U. meetings showing motion to that
effect.
The Court asked witness if he
thoush the train broke in two Of it's
own voition. Happier replied that
he couldn't say. That he had seen
trains break in two without any ap
parent cause whatever.
j. q. March called and corroborated
witnesses for the defense as to what
occurred at the meeting on June 29th'
"Was active in getting train ont. Did
not interfere with couplings on pull
mans or diner. DO not know Janey
coupler fran Miller coupler. Would
not know how to take knuckle out Of
coupler" Witness said this was the
first time he had been charged with
taking knuckle out OF coupler. That
on preliminary examination Asher
had sworn it was Happier who inter
fered witch coupler. Was ques toned
about the kilograms. Said they: had
been sent without authority Of the
Order and that he wanted to carry the
impression to other unions that they
were not weakening; thai the word
eve" had been used inadvisedly and
was not correct, as the union had not,
as an organization, detached the pull
mans. Jones laid great stress on the
kilograms when they we're read. Wit.
ess wanted to explain why they we're
sent. Jones said they needed no ex-
PLANTATION. But witness said they did
|, and asked the Court that he be per-
mitted to explain. Permission was
granted and he said he was anxious
tho other unions should not get the
idea that they we're weakening be-
cause they had worked on the train
and helped get it ont. At this point

A Girps Herotsna.

A correspondent Of the London Daily
News gives the following story: The
Handle Kurds fell ON Herfey, an Ar
menian village, and asked that the
beautiful daughter Of the priest be de-
liyered to them. The girl, hearing that
the villagers really intended to deliver
her to them, in order to get rid of their
barbaritles, hid herself and at night
succeeded I'M making her way, with her
brother, toward Russian territory.
When the Kur0s heard of this escape
they followed them, and overlook them
In the mountains. The brother and
sister defended themselves from behind
d rock until they had fired all their
cartridges but two. The sister then
threw herself into the arms OF her
brother, and begged him to shoot her
with one Of the cartridges, 30 that she
might not fall into the hands of the
Kurds. nor see the death Of her brotheT,
and that with the second he should de-
liver himself also from the hands OF the
Kurds. This was done. The sister was
killed, but the brother was taken half
dead and delivered To the Turkish au-
fhoritIes, and Ii now la prison.

womanliness Defined.

For a Frenchman, an italian, d Span
lard, womanliness In q woman means
pcrsonification, in every Individual
case, Of those abstract conceptions
which the feminine principle eternally
typifes. On the other hand, womanli-
ness win consist, therefore. In d or
slant, passive charm, the human ex-
preston, as it were, Of the silent allure
n.ent which nature has made, through
out all her orders. the typical attitude
OF the feminine. This, so TO put I1, IL
the physical characteristic. On the
other hand, womanliness win mean
divinatiOn OF mysteries not seen by
sight, MOI apprehended BY reason, but
conveyed to woman, instinctiyely, by
her closer contact with the most sacred
and occult operations OF nature, and
reacting from her upon man In the
form of an ethereal stimulant to finer
endeavor, a vague, high promise OF
divine rewards. This is the spiritual
characteristic. The Latin is, to both
this physical and this spiritual char
acteristic OF womanliness, more sensi-
tive than the Anglo-Saxon. Wherefore
IL happens that he respects women
both less and more than me Anglo
Saxon. The notion OF womanliness OF
the Englishman, the American, Is
neutral, has less OF either extreme.
The element OF allurement, of charm,
does not count 50 much for him
whereby 1t chances that, from certain
aspects, his civilization is the cleaner.
The spiritual characteristic predomin-
ates over the physical In his ideal. The
womanly woman Ii the good mother.
the devoted wife, the gentle sister, the
quiet guardian OF the h~earth-fire. Yet
she is not 50 much the holder of those
mysteries OF which we spoke, and thus
her position, while never so low, per-
haps, as 1t Is possible for it to become
with the Latin peoples, Is never, either,
