II we'll remember my surprise one

afterward the same waiter brought in
his overcoat, and after assisting Mr..
Depew into it buttoned it up. tucked
the box under the Depew arm and held
the door open, while the man outside
whistled for the carriage.
II was mystified, but after seeing
the same thing repeated at several din

it. The bundle was box, and it con-
tanned broiled lobster, which Mr..
Depew always took home to his wife. At
all the places where he dined there was
standing order for broiled lobster,
to be given to Mr.. Depew for Mrs. De-

After Mrs Depew's death the lobster
was broiled and presented at the door,

Mrs. Younr's Petition.

Mrs. Virginia D. Young of Fairfax, s.
c.. inspired by the example of Mrs. JOSE
phine K. Henry Of Kentucky, petitioned
the South Carolina legislature for the
right of suffrage. She said: 81 have, in
the eyes of the law, committed but one
crime, that of being born woman. /
am taxed without representation. am
governed without my consent, thus multi
flying the sacred principles of democracy.
l hereby protest against the humiliation
of being classed politically with insane,
criminals and idiots, as well as against
the injustice" The petition was pub
hshed in all the South Carolina papers,
and although the legislature adjourned
without taking action upon it. it has
done much to promote the discussion of
the question. Mrs. Young is doing a
great and good work in the state for the
enfranchisement of women, and we are
sure, if she was allowed to vote, she
would exercise the privilege with much
sounder common sense than some men
exhibit.-Aiken Journal and Review.

The English naturalist, Morris Gibbs,
devoted years of study to birds nests,
their formation and their contents. and
asserts that birds lay their eggs in ac-
cordance with geometrical lines, so
that every inch of space is used to the
greatest possible advantage. Birds
which lay many eggs arrange them in
circles, the pointed ends turned to the
inside. Others, whose eggs are clip
tically shaped, place them in Longitude
nal rows. II an egg is moved out of
its original position by an intruder, it
will be found on the following morn
ing that the bird has returned it to its
FIRST position. Among the numerous
and often difficult cases which Gibbs
made matter of study, not one was
found which would not do credit to

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is mental

perhaps, humanity judged. ought to be a
mental wreck. Nevertheless, yesterday
it was my privilege to see poetic effu-
sion emanating from this wreck,
written in her own neat, unique chirog-
raphy, a very garland of tender feeling
and gracious expression, woven about a
thought of love and recognition of friend
ship, addressed to another 80-year-old
"mental wreck"-my mother. If the
donkey who wrote of Mrs. Stowe as a
"mental wreck" would, just for the fun
of the thing, put his alleged brains
alongside these two S0-year-old wrecks,
he would be surprised at his own insig-
nificance and amazed at his temerity-
unless, indeed, he has heart enough to be
ashamed of himself and wit enough to
apologize for such brutality. How

Some Caustic Comments Absut the speci

Some Caustic Commsnts About the speci-
mems Pictured In Dime Novels
There are, no doubt, a good many
worthy people who advise folks against
moving to Kentucky, because their typ
ical Rentuckian is blossom nosed fire
eater, who goes about with his trousers
stuck into cowhide boots, SLOUGH hat
staggering over his eyes, whisky flask
protruding from one pocket, a revolver
from another and bowie lxnife from the
bootleg. Their representative Ken
tuckian kills man every morning for
breakfast and goes to bed every night
too gloriously drunk to take his clothes
off. They divide Kentuckians into two
classes--the horse racers and the feud
fighters. They consult dime novel &C
counts of the mountain vendettaa as au-
thorities on Kentucky life, and they ac-
cept and disseminate the opinion that
Kentucky is good place for man of
peaceful inclinations to stay away from.
Another picture of the Kentuckian,
less uncomplimentary, but as an aver
age type scarcely less untrue to life, is
that of the old Kentucky gentleman
whose religion it is to love boss and
cuss Niger" who has highly wrought
notions of gallantry, wraps himself in
an atmosphere Of romance and chivalry,
worships the memory of Henry Clay,
has no occupation in life beyond swap
ping stories, playing poker and slipping
mint juleps, and is in all respects a
harmless, kindly, clustering, inane, in
dolent, boastful and utterly impracti-
cable member and type of somnolent
society.
The fault of the seeker after types is
the disposition to generalize on too
slight foundation. Such men as these
there are in Kentucky. The feud fight
er is here, though we have quieted him
by hanging or imprisoning his fellow
outlaw. He chiefly lives now in the
impossible romances which space writ
ers have woven about as cowardly a
set of assassins as ever skulked behind
rock or fred an undefended mountain
cabin. The fine old Kentucky gentle
man is here, too, and may there be to
him and his peace and plenty in the
mellow evening of kindly life. The
younger sons of Kentucky honor his vir-
tues and wear them when they can, Dor
rowing from his courtly example much
that makes the genuine gentleman. Sc
much do we love him and honor him
that we are disposed to resent any rude
exaggeration of his lovely peculiarities
by those who cannot appreciate him and
who do not understand that the quail.
ties which most distinguish him may
adjust themselves In his sons and grand
sons to changed conditions of life.-

Adele Grants wedding.

Miss Adele Grant, now the Earl Of Es-
sex's bride, introduced several novelties
at her wedding. The brocaded and en-
broidered train of her wedding gown all
fell from a silver embroidered dove that
stretched its shining wings across her
shoulders. The veil of beautiful figured
lace fell down to her feet in front as we'll

cavaliers capes swinging from the shout

were in Charles II dresses. with small
