A Good Example.

Sometimes one finds it-veneration.
In one of the fifth ward cars recently
an old gentleman got onto crowded
car. He was pretty tired and hung
to one of the straps because he was
incapable of standing up alone. There
were several well-built men in the car
but they seemed unusually absorbed
in the advertisements that fresco the
top sides of the car. Finally a young
girl of about twelve years got up and
said:
Wont you take my seat? I am
more able to stand than you are"
The old man stared at her in amaze.
ment.
"Why-why" he stammered, II don't
want to rob you of your seat"
"That doesn't make any difference
she said determinedly "You look
more tired than feel. Take my seat
please do"
The old man sat down and the girl
took hold of the car straps.
The young men in the car suddenly
found something interesting in the
floor, fer none of them raised theil
eyes toward the young girl who hat
voluntarily surrendered her seat tt
one who needed it more than she did
At least three Of them wore huge
chrysanthemums on their coats. There
is no reason why social manners in {
parlor should differ from those in {

A PLUGGED NIckn-

It Almost Created Fuss oz Chicago
Street Car.
When Mr.. Benjamin Billixtnk look
at the change he had in his pocket
after getting off the street car that
brought him down town the other
morning he found that the conductor
had passed a plugged five-csnt piece
on him. Mr.. Billiwink did not care
for the value of the coin, bu. he had
the average American dislike to being
overreaehed, and he put that plugged
coin back in his pocket and bided his
time. In the evening he climbed
aboard northbound street car, and
when the conductor came around Mr..
Billiwink handed him that identical
f1ve-cent piece. The conductor looked
at it and handed it back.
Il can't take it." he said. "It's plug
ged."
YES" replied Mr.. Billiwink. "T
know it. It's plugged. But you'll take
it"
"I reckon not. If / turn in that
plugged nickel I'll have to make it
good out of my own pocket, and can't
afford it. You give me good money or
can't carry you"
Then Mr.. Billiwink rose up in his
wrath.
Eyes, you WILL" he shouted, "and
you'll take that nickel, tool Look
here! 1 got that from conductor No.

Here's the rest of the change, just as
he gave it to me-"
Il can't help that. I've get my Or
ders, and"
You've got orders not to take plug
ged nickels, but you're allowed to pay
them out" vociferated Mr.. Billiwink,
creating in the crowded car. "If Mr..
Yerkes gives out plugged nickel he
ought to take it back, by ginger. That's
all there is Of it. Now, you take this
or nothing; it's all you'll get" Mr..
Billiwink was determined not to be
put off that car without a fight, and
he braced himself for the coming
shock.

f1ecting a moment, 81 can't take that
piece of money, but l guess you

WOMEN OF TODAY.
Brain Cultivation Has Pushed charm

Brain Cultivation Has Pushed Charm of
Manner Into the Background.
Has the woman of to-day the charm
OF the woman Of a century ago? Has
her boasted education lessened or in
creased that charm?
We all agree that the present per-
lod woman is more companionable to
man, taking her in the sense of a
comrade, than her ancestress Of 100
years back; that, intellectually, a mar
acknowledges her his equal, and last
OF all treats her as such, yielding her
ungrudgingly place in business and
professions, all of which tends to make
her self-contdent and self-reliant, but
does 1t increase her charm?
There is danger ahead for the Am
erican woman. In her eager desire to
stand side by side with man she is be-
coming aggressively self-eonfident, and
unless she watches herself there is
risk OF becoming too clever, of becom-
ing stilted, dogmatic in the expression
OF her opinion-in a word, unnatural,
and that way ruin lies.
clever man of the world not long
ago was heard to say apropos of this
subject: ''rhe most charming and de-
lightful thing in the world, but re-
gret to say the rarest, is a thoroughly
natural woman" A shrewd comment.
| The woman Of to-day cultivates her
mind to such an extent that she is
self-conscious; she loses the charm of
simplicity of speech and manner. The
former Is stilted, the latter aggressive.
She has won a reputation for clever
ness, and she strives to maintain 1t
at all hazards. In a word, in season
and out OF season, at home and abroad
she never ceases to remember that she
Is bright woman.
A woman of this character is never
charming, and We all know that one
who possesses that gift sways more
hearts, and, better still, retains them
longer than a woman Of twice her wit
and Of even greater beauty. We hear
much of beautiful women and we have
all experienced that sense of disap-
pointment upon seeing for the first
time some world-famous beauty. We
fail to see that marvellous perfection;
we look in vain for flawless face and
form and coloring; we shrug our
shoulders and go away wondering at
the short-sightednes Of man. We
forget that beauty is in the eye of the
beholder, and that a charming woman
Is in the opinion Of man a beautiful
one. a.
She may be as fair in face as I'll
tian's LA Bella" and as perfect in
form as the Venus Of Milo, yet If she
lack the subtle something called charm
better for the peace of mind of that
woman were she hopelessly plain, for
without it she delights not man nor
woman either.

Tennessee region and locate several stills
that were turning out kegs of illicit liq-

SCREAMED WITH TERROR.
Alleged Murderers Forced to View
the Body of Their Victim.

OMAHA, Neb., July 6.-The four men and
one woman who are held in connection with
the Setjan murder were forced to view the
body to-day in the hope OF making them
talk. Thus far they have refused to talk,
and their silence has confused the police.
The five were escorted into the rear room
at the morgue. where Setjan's body lay.
The cloth was suddenly raised from the
body of the dead man, and, without a mo-
ment's warming they were brought face
to face with their victim John Bukove
was in the lead. He is the man who is
supposed to have been the principal in the
crime. As Setjan's discolored features ap-
peared before him Bukove broke down and
screamed with terror. He put both hands
over his face to shut out the awful sight,
and sobbed in the most pitiful manner Drob-
mic and Milan were also equally affected but
broke down and wept bitterly for an hour.
She went into Mysteries and almost uncon-
sciousness. AS soon as Bukove's terror had
partially subsided he was led TO the head
of the cooling board and asked If he knew
whose face it was that lay before him. He
said. mo, no. no. and refused to make
