The Texas Girl.

Chivalry used to be described as q
southern virtue, and though we do not
wish to imply that the men of the north
are unchivalrous it is quite possible
that in the south are still re-
garded with a greater degree Of formal
reverence than elsewhere. A native of
Texas describes with enthusiasm the
women of his state and SHOWS why they
cannot fail to excite admiration. ''They
are," he declares, "sweet, polite, gra-
cious and courageous; they do not curse
or swear; they do not use slang, and are
not d~runkards. Most of them ride we'll
on horseback and can use the six shooter,
but do not want to take away a mans
job or position" Could q more engag-
ing picture be drawn? These lovely
compounds of sweetness and strength
know their power, but do not abuse it.
They may resent injury in the most eff
fective fashion, but they are not mean.
They will hesitate before shooting q
man who has a family dependent upon
him. They are no mere amazons. The
fact that they do not curse and swear
shows that they possess also the gentler
domestic virtues. Those who are ia

Edwin Mcintyre, who lives a hermit
life in the house near Warren where Or.
Pilton r. Baker was shot, has q queer
hobby. One of the prettiest and best
pieces of road in Maine passes in front
of his retreat. 1t has been built by Mr..
Mcintyre, who for the last 90 years has
been picking up the rocks and stones
near his home and pounding them into
pebbles, which he has put in the high
way. In 23 years time he has pounded
900, 900 stones and made them ready for
road use. The town authorities, recog-
nizing the value of the work, for years
have compensated the man by giving
him his road tax. He estimates that he
has placed on the road 20 cords of these
manufactured stones. Other towns might
envy Warren such a faithful ~roadbuild-

A Serious Accident.

As w. j. Thomas was driving by the
residence OF Vim. Petrausch in Rusk
township on Sunday evening IN his re-
turn from Bristol, two dogs ran out
jumping and barking at his team OF
ponies, frightening them so that they
became unmanageable. In the struggle
the iron of the neckyoke broke, letting
the buggy pole down. Will hung on to
them as they dashed away but before
any great distance has been covered the
pole ran into the side of the road over
turning the buggy, throwing the lad
out in such a way as to break his right
leg about hall way between the ankle
and knee. 1t is supposed his foot
caught in the wheel as his limb was
badly twisted, the shattered bones
protruding through the flesh. Mr.. aud
Mrs. Thos. Conley were driving a short
distance behind HIM and found him ~
ing by the road. they got a piece Of
plank aud carried him to Mr.. Pet
rausch's house and in the absence of
Petrausch and his wife made him as
comfortable as possible until Mr.. Comfy
could drive TO town for medical aid.
Liveryman Taylor hurried DR.. Peabody
to the sufferer and he set the limb and
made such arrangements us he could
for the night. The next day the patient
was reno we'd to the residence of +. f..
Granger where he makes his home. Drs.
Peabody aud Harris, assisted by Percy
Peabody, re-dressed the limb, removing
some pieces OF bone. They think 1t
possible to save the leg but the chances
are that he will be crippled more or less.
The case is particularly sad as Will was
one OF the FIRST Webster lads to enlist in
the service of hiscountry and was to have
gone to Sioux Falls on the morning
train with several others to be muster
ed IN. ii he must finish his life on u
cork ley or limp on IA crippled one, the
thought of losing it fighting the
Spaniards under Old Glory would have
been much E ore pleasant than to be mix
