WOMAN OUTLAWS.
They Are by No Meas II Dashing
Be ngs They Have Eeen Painted.

The romance of Western life will not
have a left leg to stan on soon. One of
it's last remaining features has been at
tackled by an constituencies investigator,
who writes that there are now very few
women outlaws in the West, and that
those surviving are by no means the com
bination of feminine attractiveness and
reckless bravery that they have been
painted. He has discovered that they are
not prepossessing in face or figure. They
are never women of education or breed
ing.
The piercing black or gray eyes, which
are their traditional feature are not seen
in any of them. They do not ride and
shoot in the marvellous fashion attributed
to them, and, most discouraging. of ali
wear spurs and trousers. fhe last one
taken in Oklahoma had on a pair of boots
and a cotton wrapper That was the
nearest approach to the ideal attire that
had been seen for years.
The motives that led the women into
lives of lawlesSneSs was found by this re-
lentless investigator to be not unrequited
affection or desire for vengeance or muir
dered lovers or husbands, but the same
circumstances that inspired Sheeny Annie
or any of the other light-fngered ladies
pockets or shoplifting. The impression
that hordes of United States Deputy
Marshals devote their time to searching
for these desperate criminals goes down
with the rest of the illusions on the
Subiect.-ChicagO Record.

ERoTIo NOVELS AND A DIVORCE.

John oliver Hobbies ha secured a di-
vorce from her husband on the ground
of cruelty and u~nfaithfulness. John Oil
yer Hobbies is the name under which
Mrs. Pearl Craigie has written several
novels. She Is one of those young Eng
fish women who say things in their books
that make blush men who read them.
Her novels nave proved hat she thinks
on subjects which no healthy-minded
woman devotes much attention to. The
perversion of the sexual relation is a
good thing for physicians to discuss with
a view to curing the disease, but when
young women write about it in books
one is inclined to suspect the moral and
physical condition of the young women.
Mrs. Craigie evidently does not like to
come into close contact with the thing
of which she writes. or she would not
have sued her husband for divorce. She
will doubtless use her new experience as
the basis for a new novel. If the new
woman craze will produce a few women
who will write healthy novels it can be
endured for awhile. It is n ore tolerahle
duced by the end of the century women
who are writing.-Brooklyn Eagle.

HOW TO FEED BABIES
Easy to Keep Them Well
in This Weather.
They Take to Lactated Food as to
Their Mothers Milk.
Teething and Weaving Neither Difficult
Nor Dangerous.

A baby's appetite is the surest indicator
of its health.
When a child rejects its food, is rest
less. constantly crying. and shows no
gain in weight. the food is at fault. The
little one is suffering from indigestion
and rapidly losing ground. Strength must
necessarily decline. and is is lucky If a
sudden rise or fall in temperature, such
as September always brings with it,
does not aus a fatal attack of diar-
rhoea or cholera infantum.
Overlooking the child's stomach with
poorly nourishing food. aggravated by
the changes in the weather. is the cause
of nearly every case of cholera infantum.
Sudden changes in temperature. with i'm
proper feeding. brings diarrhoea and con-
vulsions.
But with the use of proper food, and
there is nothing SO absolutely good as
lactated food. this danger may be en-
tirely avoided. Statistics show that
babies thrive best on lactated food. 1t
is worth more as a preventive of cholera
infantum than all the medicines ever
made.
The superlative Importance of pure,
nutritious infant food. and the long study
of infant disorders caused by mistakes
in diet. led to the preparation of lac
tated food. Next to pure mothers milk.
it is the most nourishing. strengthening.
readily digested and palatable food that
can be given a baby. 1t more closely
resembles mothers milk than any other
food Known. It's basis is sugar of milk,
which is the basis of mothers milk.
With it is combined the nutritive ele-
ments of wheat, barley and oats in such
proportion as best meets the require
ments of the growing child.
In all cases where nursing is inadvis-
able or impossible, the infants health is
best protected by weaving and using
lactated food altogether.
Thousands of babies fed from a very
early age on lactated food have never
known a sick lay And as more
little ones have been saved by this best
of infant iments-lactated food.

PIDCHED THE NURSE.
Mrs. Egbert's Novel Assaults
Admitted Shaping Miss
Sehafnell.

One of the most interesting eases heard
in the justice courts in Hoboken for
some time past is the one in which a
young nurse in a well-known and aristo-
cratic family on the Heights appears as
complainant against her mistress.
During the storm yesterday morning
there appeared in the District Court a
tall. pleasantly spoken young woman,
who told Sergeant-at-Arms Mccarthy
that she wanted a warrant for the ar
rest of her mistress. Mrs. Egbert, the
wife of James c. Egbert. who is pro-
fessor of language at Columbia College,
New York. The young woman said her
name was Annie Schafnell, and that she
had been employed in the capacity of a
nurse in the Egbert household for about
a year. She wanted Mrs. Egbert arrested
for assaulting her.
Sergeant-at-Arms Mccarthy referred
her to Justice Seymour. to whom she
told the story of her grievance.
The Egberts are among the best known
people on the Heights. and occupy a fash
ionable residence in Webster avenue.
Professor Egbert is the son of the Rev.
DIR. Egbert. pastor of the First Presby-
terrain Church in West Hoboken.
NOVEL ASSAULTS.
Miss Schafnell is a highly intelligent
young woman and says that she was
forced to make her own living because
of the financial distress of her father,
who a few years ago was well-to-do. She

'For the most trihing mistake she

Justice Seymour. in respect to Mr.. Egg

a constable to arrest her. A note in

said she would like to have Miss Schaf-
