His Crime.

His Crime.
A dispatch from Paris, Texas, says:
Deputy United States Marshal George
Stewart arrived here Wednesday night,
having in his custody one Fred Wilson,
charged with the double crime Of mur-
der and arson. During last week q
house was burned near Easton, IN the
Indian Territory, cremating, as It was
supposed, its five inmates, they being
a family named Tucker. The house,
being built entirely Of green logs,
would have given the inmates ample
time to escape; hence the suppOsition
of murder, followed by the torch, ap-
piled by the murderer to hide his
crime. Accused was a son-in-law OF
Tucker and previous trouble had ex-
isted between them on account OF
Tucker alleging that Wilson had been
guilty of undue intimacy with another
daughter. He was arrested by posse
OF twenty armed men and turned over
to the United States authorities.
He feared lynching when arrested
by the posse, and on being taken to
view the charred remains Of his alleged
victims he begged piteously for his life

The famine-stricken people of the
Destitute portion of Oklahoma Thurs
day issued the following appeal for
help:
"Medford, o. T., Feb. 14.-As will
be well remembered the Cherokee strip
was opened Sept. Is, 1898, and our
people, ''the settlers, were unable to
plant much fall crop, wheat being the
staple of this country. The hot winds
Of last summer destroyed all grain and
vegetables and with it our hope of sus-
tenance. Many Of our people are to-
day suffering from the bitter pangs Of
hunger and extreme cold, while our
horses are dying for the lack of feed.
We are sadly in need of clothing, fuel
food and seeds to plant, with the hope
being enabled TO raise a crop this sea-
son. We praise the public comprising
the great American people to heed our
appeal and lend us helping hand.

Needless Anxiety.

Way back in the 'thirties there lived
in Broadalbin, Fulton county, n. Y,
shiftless, improvident fellow whose
only occupation was to loaf at the cor
ner store and talk about nothing,
hours at time, with the other sitters.
One day topic of considerable excite
ment was passed around the circle,
over a new state law, just passed, Civ
ing TO man ten sheep, a cow and q
team of horses, as exempt property for
debt This old fellow, who was in
debted to everybody and owned not q
dollar in the world, was in evident dis

| 1t is all very we'll for men to de-
nounce women as foolish" for Drawing
the draughts of opera house and ball

but, according to the most eminent
medical authorities in Paris and Lon
don, it is the men who much oftener
catch scold when wearing evening
dress than do women in their decollete
dresses. sa.r ..t -'E..
The truth is that extra precautions
are taken by member of the fair sex in
order to avoid cold air in the evening
when leaving the heat of salon. They
don fur-lined and wadded opera cloaks,
and wrap themselves up in all kinds OF
soft and clinging lace scarfs, while
men act very differently indeed.
The weak point of mems dress is
that the lungs are expose at the back
almost more than in front The dress
suit is thin, and as the majority Of
men leave the coat unbuttoned, the
back is exposed to more or less draft
with every movement.
During the day the man goes about
with thick wooden clothes, thick socks,
thick boots or shoes with spats. Il
At night he puts on the thinnest OF
clothes, a waistcoat which is no pro-
lection whatever, thin shoes, silk
socks, and sallies forth to dine, after
which, perhaps, he attends dance or
theater, where, when he arrives, he
begins by congratulating himself that
he is not clad as those poor. silly
women, +" who go about with the upper
part of their chests bare; and he is
positively amazed when pneumonia,
bronchitis or influenza overtakes him,
instead of prostrating all the airily
clothed women of his acquaintance
