WHAT GOOD SOCIETY is.
A Circle ofPIensnnt People Who Are
interested in Each other.


The very best society is not composed
of etilt and glitter. 1t is that circle of
pleasant people who meet and visit be-
caulsiher are interested in each other.

by the newspapers consists merely of 4
few people, who, having more money
than the rest of the world, are able to
make themselves more conspicuous,
and so are kept constantly before the
public But all over this great cOun-
try in every city, town or village, there
is 10 be found good society, and it rests
with the working girl herself whether
she is in or out of it. If she has the bad
taste to prefer noisy people, whose idea
of enjoyment is roughness, whose con
ception of conversation is to talk sean

existing, then this girl will not only
injure herself by her contact with sucf
society, but she will iniure every otheI

A DOUBT AS TO BREAD.
Is 1t the STAFF of Life or the Promoter
of Denth.

The subject of bread as the cause of
the attention of European scientists. 1t
is even alleged by some of the writers,
that bread is the most prolific cause of
disease and death to be found in the
catalogue of foods" If this be true
then the staff of life" is in reality the
staff of death" If this be true then
the less bread we eat the longer will
we live. But is it true?
There is reason in part of the de-
ductions drawn by some of these ca
iamity writer's" said DR.. Hayes, of the
medical staff of the pension office, to
Star reporter, but like all fads, this
one about the danger in the use of bread
in our dietary will have its day and
then give way to some other sensational
idea about the food we eat. One writer
on the subject states: Since wheaton
bread contains from 35 to 40 per cent.
of starch, and it is acknowledged that
starchy food is unhealthy, therefore the
use of such bread is unhealthy The
reason given for this unhealthfulnesl
IS that starchy food is not digested in
the stomach, but in the intestines or
second stomach of the body, and therein
lies the difficulty of digestion of wheat
en- bread
The truth is that the stomach is
only a fractional part of the digestive
tract, and the second stomach or in
tcstinaI tracr IS ca,,.,, - tho
digestion of nearly all varieties of foods
So the argument that starcbv food. Ifk,
bread. is hard of DIGESTION falls 70 III,

MATILDA WAS TIED.
Widow Berry lmpersonated Her
Daughter, Eloped and Was Mar
RED.

Greenup, KY, June lin the White
Oak neighborhood, in the eastern end
of this county, Mrs. Martha Berry, aged
about 40. and her pretty daughter Ma
tilda, who has just entered her 18th
wear. have lived for several years. In
the same neighborhood lived Johnson
Whitley. a prosperous farmer of 80 and
widower. Whitley has been paying
attention to Mrs. Berry's daughter fol
six months. and it was supposed gener-
allv that they would be married soon.
The mother would not give her consent,
hut she did not object to the young
widower's calls. He pleaded with the
widow for the hand of her daughter to
no purpose, and the young people decld-
ed on an elopement.
All the arrangements were made for
the elopement, but the watchful mother
discovered what was on foot, and on
Friday night, the time set for the eiope-
ment. she went to her daughters room
shortly after dark and bound the girl
hand and foot. She also tied gag In
her mouth, and took her to her own
room and tied her to the bed. She then
returned to the daughters room, and
when Whitley came TO steal away his
love the widow answered the sum-
mons. and without speaking a word
Joined the young man in the yard. He
assisted her into his buggy, and drove
with her to Grayson. the county seat
of Carter county, where he had arranged
with Judge Norris to perform the cere-
mony.
Whitley was surprised at the silence
Of his companion, but az she leaned con-
fidingly on his arm and appeared to be
sobbing all the time he could do moth
ing more than caress her now and then
and cheer her up by telling her that her
mother would forgive her. 1t was not
until after the ceremony was performed
on the Judges front porch and they
had repaired to hotel, that the bride
groom saw that he had married the
widow. He decided at once TO make
the best of the situation. He took his
welded wife home, and to neighbor
he said that although he thought he was
dead in love with Matilda, he always
did think great deal of her handsome
mother
Matilda was discovered bound in her
mothers room by a neighbor the next
morning, and when she learned of the
trick her mother had played her she
said that although she thought she
loved Mr.. Whitley she is now satisfied
she did not. She promises to be a duti-
full daughter to him.
