She Broke Her Cross.
What Inspired Her to
Do the Deed.
The Book That Gave Her the COur-
age and Strength to Do 1t.

Here is case of a very charming young
Woman of Central Ohio, who had grace,
beauty and wit to commend her. Just as
she was budding into womanhood a
cloud came to darken her life. Her troll
bles weighed so heavily upon her that for
a long time she would not-could not leave
her house. She used to receive her friends
stretched on a couch or leaning back in
an invalid chair. And her friends were
many. She was quoted as an example of
Christian courage. She referred to her
condition as ''her cross" and everyone
thought how brave and good she was to
bear her burden with such fortitude.
One by one her girl friends were Joined
to the men of their choice She sent
them all presents and received from
each a piece of wedding cake, which
she cried over little, and didn't put
under her pillow because it wasn't any
good for her to dream. No man could
marry her. A life of solitary suffering

She broke down, sobbing quietly, and hid

Dallas gazed at her perplexedly, finding
himself confronted by a side of her char
acter tor which he was wholly unprepared.
For he was accustomed to classify wo-
men on the strength OF certain strongly
marked traits and mentally to pigeon hole
them5 labelled "geod,in "bad" gentle -
hard" He had not then learned that
every woman embodies in her own person
the salient qualities of half-a-dozen types,
and is therefore, fun of seeming inconsis-
tencies, so that the coolest can be tender,
ana the gentlest, cruel, on. occasions. For

A BOX OF HORNETS.
The Baggage-Master Thought Thew
Were Peaches, as Usual.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A professional man in st. Louis, who was
accustomed during the summer months to
have his fruit sent him by express from
his farm, in Central Missouri, was much
annoyed one season by the pilferings of
baggagemen. No matter how carefully
his choice peaches or pears were boxed,
the packages were sure to be broken into
and despoiled with free hand. He stood
the loss without a murmur for several
weeks, when, having noticed that the
boxes that came in express car No. 81 were
rather worse robbed than those shipped i'm
other cars, he decided to mete out a little
righteous retributon. ~
Three or four days later he received a
notification that an express package, adj
dressed to him, was coming in car No 81,
and would reach the city about noon. He
went to the station to meet the train, and
when 1t came in, he took a position near
the express car and watched
He had not long to wait. A man whosa
head and face were swollen beyond recog-
milton came to the door of the car. He
was pulling after him in the most careful
manner box that bore marks of having
been opened and hastily nailed up again.

said to the boy with the truck. For ALI

Nothing" shortly replied the baggage
man. BE mighty careful how you handle
that package. That's all I've got to say
to you. Stand out of the way. I'm going
to throw this trunk
The story soon leaked out FOLLOWING,
the instructions he had received, the man
ager of the farm, by a little cautions night

up, and shipped it on that particular day.
