LOVELY WOMAN.

OF the new fashioned woman there's much

W her wanting to vote and a that,
And Of her desire to wear mans attire, e.

And a that and u that.
She may wear trousers and e that;
She may even rid n horse astride,
But q woIlan's q woman for u that.

She's up to date and a that.
She wears a man. hat. likewis his cravat,
His shirt and co.. Gnd u that,
And a. that ard a that,
His suspenders and cuffs and g that,
But do what she can to initiate man
A woman's IL woman for a that. -

In sweater and blOomer ard a that,
Rides u blk exactly like

Wear mems collars and shirts and a that,
May wear vests if she will, but the fact
remains still
A woman's a woman for "a that.

The Largest Medical Library.

A writer in the Washington Star says
that the largest and most complete med
ical library in the world is the collec-
ton of medical works located in the
Army Medical museum, in that city,
under the care Of the surgeon generals
office Of the war department and the i'm
mediate supervision Of DR.. John S. Bill
lings. U. S. A. 1t may be said that the
card index system of medical publica-
lions used by the library is the most
thorough and practical index of medical
works in the world. The library now
includes about lie, 600 bound volumes
and about $50, 900 pamphlets. It is es-
timated that this collection comprises
three-fourths Of the medical literature
OF the world, and at least nine-tenths Of
the medical literature which has been
published within the last ten years.

Soda Propelled Engines.

A frelcss locomotive engine was re-
Gently used on the Aix-la-C hapelle
Julich railway. The motor power is de-
rived from soda. The invention is based
on the principle that solutions of caus-
tic soda, which have high boiling points,
liberate heat whNe absorbing steam.
These engines eject neither smoke ncr
steanr and work noiselessly. Compared
with coal burning locomotives, soda en-
gines Show a capacity equal to the for
mer, while they are worked with greater
case and simplicity.

moving figure, which I made ~ to be
that of a fox. How stealthily the sly
fellow crept alongl He made no noise;
not a twig broke beneath his catlike
tread.
AS he turned, for the first time he
noticed me. He looked at me. and /

the cunning of his kind. Still keeping
his eye on me. no sided away until he

retires always before the break of day.

BOSTON OR BURST.

A Miller county man had "hearn"
of the Eats" and pulled through
for that place. Mr.. Kazine, a far
mer living eight or ten miles from
Texalkana drove to the city with
six bales of cotton and when he
struck the Winter & Schott corner
where the cotton wagons generally
stop and have their staples sam
pied, he made no halt. The cotton
buyers started after him, telling
him to stop but he paid no notice to
them and drove on West. Max
Kosm insky was in the lead of the
chase after the cotton and when he
got in speaking distance of the dr!-
yer and asked him to stop, he was
informed that he intended to check
up at New Boston and not before.
Mr. Kazine, we will bet a nickel, be-
longs to the progressive" third par
ty, ard he is looking for an cite" OF
this faith to sell his staple to. We
have other farmers in this commu-
nifty who don't think that the mer-
chants here will give them all the
market quotations would justify
them in giving, but they go ahead
blindlY and take their cotton to
other places. They do not try to
build up a home market, but by
their action try to tear 1t down.

GENEROUS TO A FAULT.

We sometimes meet up with a
generous man, and when we do we
feel like taking him by the hand
and shaking it heartily, if that gem
erosity springs from an unselfsh
motive. There is a mechanic in
this city by the name of Davis, who
has been sick for some time, and
whose bills, made while he was do
ing nothing, began to press him.
He had a fine box of tools valued at
500, which he was forced to sell,
and to get the worth of them, he
raflled them off. The rattle was
had on Saturday night, at the cigar
store of Koerner & Co., and there
we're some fifteen or twenty gath
cred there who held chances. Mr..
Walsh, the coffee and tea merchant
came in and took a chance before
the rattle began, and when all the
throws were made it was found
that he had thrown 45 ahd was de-
clared the winner Of the exit" He
was being warmly congratulated on
his luck, when he arose and said:

do not need the kit of tools, and to
make things even up all around, |
now preseut them back to Mr.. Dav-
is, hoping he will soon be on his feet
again, showing the plane and push

after this, and Mr.. Walsh is looked
upon in different light, perhaps,
than he was before this occurrence,
