Miss Hillman bound the fellow, and,
tossing him into the vehicle, turned
around and brought her prisoner to
town and handed him over to the au-
thoritics. Then she drove home as calm
as if she had been to Quaker meet
ing
Several attempts have been made to
win Miss Hillman's heart and hand.
All sorts of men have laid seige to her
heart, but she has suspected them all
of having designs upon her property,
and therefore has not seen fit to ac-
cept an offer. About five years ago
Orrin Holcombe, a horse dentist, took
it into his head that he could catch
her. He got job at fixing the teeth
of her horses, and was soon acquaint-
ed with her. Occasionally he drop
ped in on Sunday night and finally
made her understand that his atten-
tions were serious. She cut him at
once, and Holcombe was unable to get
an audience with her until one eve
ming at the school house. There was
stereoptican entertainment. Miss
Hillman attended it and Holcombe
came in and took a seat beside her.
While the entertainment was going on
he persisted in whispering to Miss
Hillman until, to the astonishment Of
everybody in the room, she caught him
by the scruff of the neck, lifting him
off his feet as if he had been terrier,
lugged him to the door and tossed him
off the step. Then she returned to
her seat and watched the pictures.
Holcombc discontinued his attentions.
Miss h:llman has more than ordina.
ry intelligence. She is we'll read and
is musician of considerable ability.
She plays the piano, and is an expert
violinist. She has but little to dc
with her neighbors, prcferring to keer
her own society. She is very fond Of
her COWS and horses, and makes pet
of each one of them. Her barns where
the stock is kept are as comfortably
built as the one in which she lives.

A Belle at Eighty.

Some years ago there was an old
lady in the Southern capital who not
only wore decollete bail dresses at 80,
but actually possessed the lovely neck
and arms which they require. She was
most innocently vain, and no wonder,
fer she was immensely fattcred, and
her townspeoplc valued her charms far
above those of her young and more
beautiful rivals. She had a curious
way Of preparing for bail, which our
modern fashionable women with their
multitudinous engagements would find
difficult to emulate. The morning be-
fore she proposed appearing in full re-
gala she would take brisk walk, and
return in time for a midday dinner,
after which she remained quiet with
her work until about 3 or 4 o clock,
when she would retire to her bed (par-
taking of some light refreshment at
the tea hour, until it was time to
dress for her ball. Then she would
get up, take bath and make the most
elaborate toilet. All the household
regarded these preparations in the
light Of solemn rites, and would never
have dreamed of laughing at them in
any way. Her appearance was tri-
umph, never failing to excite the
greatest admiration and adulation.-

When the war was over, and the
strife between the States had ceased,
Gen. Haguenin returned to Christ
Church Parish, where he engaged in
planting. He remained there until
the Courtenay administration, when
he was appointed superintendent of
streets. He has continued to hold that
Office since, with one intermission OF
two years.
Gen. Huguenin was an officer of the
4th brigade, S. G. Y. T.. when the
'rifle clubs and the ;'charitable as
sociations" were allowed to bear arms
in the earlier days Of ''Reconstruc-
tion," and afterwards elected to the
command of this body Of troops. In
this capacity he was honored and obey;
ed implicitly and fully. When Gov,
crnor Tilman ordered the Charleston
troops to Darlington in the spring of
1894 Gen. Huguenin consulted with
his officers. They told him their men
would not 60 Darlington to protect
a lot Of whiskcy spies who had gotten
themselves in trouble. The General
taking upon his shoulders the entire
responsibility, sent word that the 4th
brigade would not 60. AS he expect
ed, and all feared, this caused com
plete change in the brigade, and the
hero of Fort Sumter was not on the
new muster roll. But his name was
craven on the hearts of the men who
had marched under his orders, anc
never will be erased.

Filled the Devil with Shot.

"A burglar last week met with his de-
serts in dramatic manner. In the
neighborhood of place called Hunts
burg, near Oldenburg. two little boys,
aged respectively 8 and IL, were left
by their mother at home to take care
of the house. A man with blackened
face and in black attire suddenly en-
tered and announced himself to the
scared little mites as his Satanic maj
csty. II am the devil; where do you
keep your money!
They instantly pointed toward the
massive trunk where the modest wealth
of the parents were treasured up
While, however, the murky-looking
imposter was ransacking the chest, the
younger of the two boys whispered to
his brother: $50 and fetch the gun and
shoot the devil dead!'
The brother jumped at the idea,
fetched the loaded weapon, crept up
to the unsuspecting thief and loaded
the whole charge in his back. He fell
back dead.

= 1Iere ara some curious ways of WOO.

ing a wife: In Lapland the manageable
young woman goes with her friends to
the public common. Her suitors are on
hand, and when all is ready the maiden
sets out on run, while her lovers pursue
her. If the girl loves or is anxious to
marry she invariably manages to be
caught by the object of her affection.
Among the Kirghis, in Central Asia, the
bride to be is mounted on 3 fleet horse
and armed with a formidable whip. She
is then pursued by her suitors. If she
does not love the one who may close with
her she belabors him and his horse with
her whip in the effort to keep him away,
but she yields gracefully to the favored
one. On the west coast of Greenland the
man who decides to marry goes to the
home of the girl he covets and drags her
forth by the hair. Then he gives her q
pail or some other household utensil and
the ceremony is complete.

ings to take testimony and as many
as five evenings to digest the same

Mr.. Young meved that the commit
tee hear evidence as to the charge of
Mr.. Powers employing the services of
employees while under pay Of the state,
of compiling statistics and reading
proof or any Of the work upon the
book. published by Mr.. Powers, en-
titled Farmer Hayseed," and upon the
question of whether or not he trav-
eled to Chicago or any other city at
the expense of the state for the pur-
pose of arranging for the printing and
illustrating of the same. Also as -
whether or not, at the expense of the
state, he absented himself and his en-
ployes or either of them at Leech lake
or in the Rainy lake region: that as to
whether or not the charges outlined
by Mr.. Erwin, we hear witnesses and
incur the expense of taking further
evidence before we subpoena witnesses,
we inquire of the senate whether OF
not We should incur this expense and
as to the course to be taken.
Mr.. Ringdal moved that the commit
tee take testimony upon all the points.
Senators Ringdal and McHale voted
for the amendment, and Senators Lar
son, Young and Peterson against IT.
On the original motion Senators Young,
peterson, Larson and McHale voted
in the affirmative and the motion was
carried.

would only cast upon him some per-
sonal criticism and would in no way
account for the expenditure of $45rO00

examine the bureau on such a limited
basis. ,
Mr.. Evans insisted that Mr.. Powers
was anxious to have all the charge
fully and openly investigated, but that
he would submit to the will of the
senate.
Senator Peterson moved that the
committee report to the senate it's full
proceedings and ask what steps the
committee should take further, or
whether they should be released. so
that the senate might determine
whether they are inclined to go into
the investigation.
Senator Ringdal moved, in view of
the serious nature Of the charges that
have been brought and the probability
that the investigation would disclose
the facts stated, and in view that the
bureau be run more economically In
the future, that the senate be informed
That the committee are of the opinion
that the investigation should proceed,

pointment Of a committee to investi-

Senator Yale called up his resolu-
ton prohibiting smoking in the senate
chamber. He said he considered it
purely within the requirements of the
senate's dignity to enforce that reso-
luton 1t was not an infringement
Of personal liberty at all, or if it was

MARKET FOR RAILS.
HeaVy Purchases Made by the
Southwestern Roads.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-THE COLLAPSE
Of the steel trust and the consequent
decline in the prices of steel rails to
$l7 per ton has already begun to exert
a stimulating influence on the iron and
steel industry. The M. K. & T. Rail-
way company heads the list with an
order for 10000 tons steel rails placed
with the Carnegie Steel company. This
means 100 miles Of new track some
where between here and Galveston,
and steady employment for hundreds
or men for months to come. The
frisco also awaited itself Of the tempt
ing opportunity afforded by the pre-
Va1ling low price Of rails, and placed
an order with the Illinois Steel COM
pany TOT 5000 tons. The Missouri Pa
cific fell into line with an order for
5000 tons, and news comes from Texas
that E. H. r. Green. Of the Texas
Midland. has just closed a deal for
10000 tons. There is particular sig
nificance in Mr. Green's purchase. as
it means not repairs. but extensions
