SHE GOT REVENGE.

There is a well known young society
lady in this city who is engaged. This Is
not especially startling. as the same course
of affairs has occurred before. But this.
girl one day lately played even with her
mamma in a manner so keenly vicious
and successful that her case becomes es-
peciaIly interesting Her betrothed lives
in another city and writes her daily. One
OF his regular epistles che accidentally left
on her deresser in her room one morning
and her mother read it through. Then
she proceeded 10 dress down her lovely
daughter in a finished and well rounded
manner. She mathematical the sickiy
and nauseating stuff which the young
man had poured forth in that letter and
reminded her child that such silly lingo
was undignified and foolish. The girl very
naturally writhed under this charge. but
with a deadly patience bided her time
for telling and complete revenge. She
ransacked chest of family relics and out
of d packet of yellow and crumpled let
ters withdrew one which her father had
written her own mother the year before
the latter pair had heen married. This
she took down stairs 10 her mother and
rasement hung her head and became ap-
parently humble and confessional. She
told her mother that one more letter had
been Just received from George and as
II was along the lines which her mother
disapproved of. she desired to read ii to
her and then shut off any further CORE
spondence of this pabuum stuff. Then
she read the discriminating letter all
through, all the while taking stolen chances
at her mothers sarcastic and cynical
ccuntenance. When she finished, her
mother said that was the most sickenins
rot she ever listened to, and was glad
that in her day lovers did not ever act
so idiOtic. After she wore out roasting
this style of epistollary devotion the
daughter in a calm and cool manner. but
one of vindictive satisfaction. handed over
10 her mother the letter. and the latter had
the blissful pleasure of reading thu open
ing lines addressed 70 herself twenty-five
years before and signed by her husband,
then merely her adoring sweetheart. As
the Eagle goes to press the mother had
not recovered her equaninity. while the
daughter wears smile OF mingled tfi-
uHph and sardonic delight.

a SEN MILIoNAIRE-

Evidently one Wichita man has struck
il rich He writes all this:
To the EditorN>of the Eagle;
Dear Sir: Suppose you owned farm.
a farm 50 billy. 50 rocky and barren; so
denseIy covered with scraggy oak and
blackjack underground. that you had well
nigh exhausted all your strength of mind
and body. trying as II were 10 exc out q
living. And then after living there. say
forty years. and carrying water up =
steep hill for all household purposes you
suddenly took notion to bore a well
and not only took the notion. but bored
the well" and by boring into the earth
a distance OF eighty-two feet you bored
through a deposit Of zinc three feet in
thickness. Would you consider such find
OF any value? And IL you should consider
il OF value, would you think il Of great
value? In other words. II it were valu-
able and you were not able TO operate
the mining of such property, would YOU
be inclined 10 sell the farm outright or
lease the land for mining purposes 10
some syndicate. and should you conclude
not TO sell. but lease. about what percent
would you likely claim as your share of
the proceeds? Having taken into con-
sideration the richness of the deposit.
which we will assume 10 be almost pure
zinc. please enlighten US on this. your
supposed zinc mine. which might not be a
myth. Respectfully,
AN ENQUIRER
