cIrF AND COUNTRY ChorHEsLrxEs
Some of the Differences Between Them
Pointed Out by MI. TankIeby.

1t is curious" said Mr.. Tnnkleby. "how

come TO do things In certain ways and never
dream Of any other. / saw an Illustration Of
this when we first moved out into the suburbs.
We had lived in a 1atfor twenty years and dur
ing all that time we had never thought Of any
way Of hanging out clothes except on a pulley
line running from the rear windows to u lofty
pole rising from the narrow area In the rear:
We had forgotten all about the clotheslines of
our youth, and the first thing we did when we
got into our new home was to rig up q pulley
line, There was a fine grassy back yard there
and some tai posts S anding around, but they
didn't appeal TO us. so dull had We grown TO old
ASSOCIATIONS,
There was a tree out there in the yard at a
convenient distance and VT rlgged a pulley
line from a. second,story. window to that, /
think our neighhors looked on at that work
said nothing; and as, for ourselves. We never I"
thought OF 1t as anything to excite remark, nor
did we dream OF any other way Of hanging out
But for all that We never need the pulley
line In the suburbs. 1t was on a Saturday that
day. and 50 a little slow In getting at the wash

there We're posts as in ours, walking around on

Ana 50 We, never used the pulley line after
az. anu we found the old way very pleasant,

clothes banging EN- out, and II was cold work,
minds me that there was one days washing
that we, never. tools IN. 1t hadn't been a GOOD
drying day and we had left the things out over
night, In the morning they we're gone. Thus
we realized that the clothesline thief. while he

MILES SUCCUMBS.
The Commanding General Now
Has an Attack of the Fever.

Washington, Sept. 15.-GeneraI Miles
is confined to his bed with a. touch Of
fever resulting in part from the work
and exposure of his recent campaigns.
The general has been ailing for some
days, and although he came to army
headquarters for two hours yesterday
there was already some evidence of fe-
yer. Today the fever symptoms were
rather more marked and the physician
who was called in insisted upon the
generals remaining in bed. The attack
causes no apprehension to the general
or his friends.
It is said to be of a malaria1 charac-
ter like much of the fever developed
after exposure in southern latitudes.
General Miles family and friends have
been urging him to leave Washington
and take a complete rest at some wa
tering resort. He has resisted this not
being willing to admit that the cam
paign had made some inroads on his
health.
1t is believed, however, that he will
now yield to the advice of physicians
and friends and take a vacation at
some quiet resort. Owing to the strong
recuperative powers of General Miles
it is hoped at army headquarters that
he will be up and about very soon.

SAYS HEWAS HER FATHER.
Claimant for Large Estate Turns Up
and Enters Suit.

Fort Scott, Kan, Sept. 15--AIiss Mary
Margaret COnnallin. a handsome girl
19 years old, from Chicago, commenced
action in the probate court here today
to recover the entire estate left by the
late John COnnallin, a well known res
ident Of this city, on the grounds that
she is his daughter and only legal heir
Upon her application, Grant HOrna-
day, cashier of the First National bank
was appointed administrator of the es-
tate. The claim of the young woman,
who is the daughter of Georgia COnnal-
lin, well known singer and actress,
who a number of years ago was di-
vOrced from the deceased, will be bit
terly contested by James COnnallin of
this city, Brother, and Mrs. DR.. Garcia
of st. Louis, a sister of the deceased
In a will made in 1888 the deceased
bequeathed all his property to his son,
John COnnallin, excepting IS to the child
Mary Margaret, who, he stated, was
not his child, but the daughter of GeOr-
gia COnnallin, his divorced wife, and 81
to his former wife The son was drown
ed in 1891, hence that legacy has laps
ed, and now the girl claims to be under
the law the only living heir, regardless
of the expression of the WILL which says
in regard to his sons interest that he
is never to give any portion of it to the
girl or his mother
The estate, consisting Of several farms
in this county, property in this city,
large confectionery store and other per-
sonal property, is valued at about $10,-
000- The action has created considerable
interest. here, as but very few knew Of
the young WOman'S existence.
