A Deplorable Scanda1-A most deplora- ble scandal is reported from our sister county, Choctaw. MT. Dennis, who for the past two years has been in charge of the Methodist church at Butler, was waited upon by a committee of citizens and given one hour to leave town. The facts as told to me by pr. Moody of Butler are briefly as follows: He, Dennis, had se- duced his sster-in-law. a beautiful and accomplished young lady of IS summers. When visited by the committee he ad
 mitted his crime and said if the citizens saw proper, to inf1ict upon him corporal punishment, he would not resist them. In less than one hour he was an exile from home, wife and children, disgraced and dishonored man. But here let us drop the mantle of charity over the scene, for when repentant guilt trembled and blushed in the presence of Him whose divine example is our guide, no frown darkened His brow, no malidiction fell from His lips; His absolying injunction was, "go and sin no more.

SOME merchants who are doing a
fair business think advertising will
not increase their trade. Probably
rs intelligent firm of business men
as lives is that of Marshall Field 4
Co., of Chicago. They are doing a
larger business than any mercantile
men in America. Still they adver-
tise. They probably advertise in the
newspapers more than any other
mercantile firm in America. 1t is a
fact some days they use more space
advertising in the leading Chicago
papers than all the merchants OF
that city do combined. And the firm
does not hesitate to give to advertis-
in the newspapers the chief explana-
tion OF its unparalleled success in
business.

A Chinese Love Letter.

The Ostasiatcher Lloyd, an authority on
Chinese matters, in an article on the man
ner of lovemaking in the Flowery King
dom, publishes the following letter from a
man who desired the daughter of neigh"
Dor as a wife for his son:
ION my knees l beg you not to despise
this cold and common request, but listen
to the words of the matrimonial agent and
give your honorable daughter to my slave
of a son, so that the pair, bound by silllen
threads, may have the greatest joy. In the
beautiful springtime 1 shall offer wedding
presents and give a couple of geese, and
let us hope for long and continuous for
tune and look forward through endless
generations to the fulfllment of genuine
love. May they sing of plenty and have
every JOY. On my knees beg you to con-
slider my proposal favorably and throw the
mirrorlike glance of your eyes on these
lines"
To this letter the father of the bride re-
piled that he would attend to the portion
of his poor and poverty stricken daughter,
that she might not be without bedclothes,
cotton clothing, hairpins and earrings.
Therefore it was to be hoped that the cou-
pie would have constant fortune"
