There, be rude mar who will laugh at
the story Of Mss Minnie WheeIer's al
tempted suicide because she spent all
ner money for fall hat which after
wards palled upon her fancy, but
many'women will doubtless appre
ciate the depths of her despair,
Genuine pathos is to be found in
this case of Miss wheeler, who is a St
Louis girl, and, therefore, prone to
embelishing that beauty with which
Dame Nature has literally endowed
her. 1t was in the course of this en-
bellishment that Miss Wheeler invest
ed In the autumnal headgear, costing
$40, which afterwards so deeply bow
ed down her maiden heart with woe.
Not uutil after the Irresistible allure
ments of the fall hat had led to Its pur.
chase did Mss Wheeler suddenly real
izo that she had no clothes worthy OF
being worn in connection with such a
hat. Then she began to hate that
magnificent creation of the milliners 5
art aud, finally, swallowed 25 cents
worth of morphine to forget her folly.
Fortunately she was taken to the City
Hospital in time for pumping-out
that saved her life.
Every feminine heart will Ihrob
with pity for poor Minnie Wheeler.
Tantalus himself was never placed in
position more acutely agOuizing
than that of this young woman who
had a perfectly lovely fall hat which
she couldn't wear. Before her ma
tsrial eyes lay this ravishing bonnet
Before her minds eye arose the awtu
fact that the rest Of her apparel wa
but as a Guy Fawkes outft-a rav
esty casting scorn and Contumely upol
that hat itself-and that not a dO'ls
had she with which to purchase NOR
! fitting garments. If she gazed upol
the hat, /; filed her bosom for a mo
meut with girlish glec. Bat only 70
a moment-the next instant came tn
dreadful thought that long before sb
could save money enough to buy
frock pretty enough to go with sue
a hat, the hat itself would be cut o
fashion,-St. Louis Republic.

National Quarantine.
HAYsEEIi

There is nobody, according to the
old saying so blind as those who won't
see; aud the opponents of a national
system of quarantine furnish a good
illustration OF the relevancy of the say
ing. Their fears of what they are
u eased to call Capitalization dull
their ability to see the advantage of
the national quarantine proposition.
sss There is not the semblsnce OF
a hope for US that we shall ever be
removed above the risk of yellow
fever invasion until we secure uu-
form system of quarantine and uni
form enforcement Of that vusrsutlne
system. Aad that is only obtsinable
by our devolving the duty Of exclud-
ing foreign pestilence upon the Federal
government, and by the establish
ment of Board of National Quarsn-
tine.-Times- Democrat.
