Probably the most colossal mistake
in recent criminal annals was made
by a New York burglar the other day.
He went into a dressmaking establish
ment in broad daylight, where twenty
women were working, and tried to
plumber the premises. AS a simple
matter of course and natural con-
sequence the women fell upon him
with hat-pins, jabbed him till he close
ly resembled porous plaster and
handed him over to a policeman. The
records in even city like Chicago TEEN
with captures of foolish burglars by
women single-handed. What fate
could be expected for the man who de-
liberately invaded a house filled with
twenty women, every one Of the twenty
having her hat-pin handy? e.

MR. ED. :-All-sorts of weather these days, from the coldest to the beautiful spring days. cold rains, snow, sleet, thunder and;lightning. It is said, by some weather proph- cts, that every time it thunders in February there will be frost in April. If this be true, we will have about three frosts next Apr. about the 4th, 7th and 25th.

THE FIRST BABY.
It's Coming Is Looked Forward to With Both Joy and Fear and it's Safe Arrival Is Hailed With
 Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby h the household is the happiest and most im- portant event of married life. The young wife who is to become mother delights to think of the happiness in store for her i when the little one shall nestle upon her breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp the sweet and holy name, mother. But her happy anticipation quickly van- l ishes when she realizes the terrible pain and suffering through which she must pass while bringing the little one into the world. An understandable fear of the danger attendant upon the ordeal soon dissipates her joyfulness.
 Thousands of women have learned by experience that there Is absolutely no necessity for the sufferings which at- tend childbirth; they know that by the use of Mothers Friend"-a scien- tific liniment-for few weeks before the trying hour, expectant mothers can SO prepare themselves for the final hour that the pain and suffering of the dreaded event are entirely obviated and 1t Is safely passed through with com- pcratively little discomfort.
 All women are interested, and es- pecially expectant mothers who for the first time have to undergo this trial, in such remedy for they know the pain and suffering, to say nothing of the dan ger, which is in store for them. Moth CTS Friend" is woman's greatest bles- sing, for it takes her safely through the severest ordeal of her life. Every woman should be glad to read the little book Before Baby is Born," which contains information of great value to all. It will be sent free to any one who sends their address to The Bradfield kegu- lator Co.,, Atlanta, Ga.

A late issue of the Princetonian of Dallas county contains this news item:
 A Dallas gentlemen of high so- eial standing, and who IS said to have broken many pledges to never again run amuck of wine or be entangled in woman S wiles, woke up sorely disgusted the other morning, and proceed ed to chastise himself by em- ploying an able-bodied negro to administer upon his barred back twenty lashes with a leather strap. In the sixth round he rose up in resentment and gave the negro an undercut that sent him winding. Reluctantly, and for extra pay only, was he per suaded to proceed with the lash ing, but he laid 1t on with tell ing force-bringing the blood. The victim bore it without furth- CT complaint.
 This man is not the first to wake up with a swelled head and to find himself sorely dis gusted with himself and life in general. Many q man before him has felt that if he had his just dues he would receive a sound drubbing from a patent kicking machine. The truth is, there are times when some men deserve just such punishment. The gentleman of high stand ing in Dallas county is, how ever. the first in Arkansas to put his feeling into practical ef- feet so far as We have been in formed. The disgust he felt was no doubt akin to the feeling which causes mon to blow their brains out or jump off a bridge into the river. \ self-aceusing conscience drives men to desper- ate deeds It IS doubtful if the punishment administered in the case of this fellow from Dallas county will deter him from simi- lar escapades in the future. He ought to control his appetite by the force of will power rather than to depend on scourging his body. The poor fellow is evi- dently in bad way" ."-Arkansas Democrat.
 And We venture the assertion that if any such a thing as re lated above ever happened, the victim, who underwent the SC we're penalty of a whipping, was not a genuine Arkansian, for there is not one of them but what would much prefer to get blind drunk thirteen times, and fall in love with all of the pretty girls in the neighborhood than to suffer one lick, administered by a buck negro with a leather strap, much less twenty.

THE M0NTICELLONIAN has had but little to say as regards the quantity and quality of legisla- tion at the present term, and has offered very few suggestions and rendered little gratuitous advice; not from the fact that 1t does not feel as much interest as ever in the country's veal, but more from the fact that expert ence has demonstrated that Leg islators, usually know more than other people can tell them, and advice, though wholesome 1t may be, is wasted like sweet ness on the desert air. " A mem- Der of the Legislature is the big gest thing oh ice while the ses- sion lasts, and the smallest thing out of jail when the ses- sion closes. It is, therefore, a re- lief to ordinary mortals when the Legislature adjourns, for then they can witness the spec tacle of the members seeing themselves as others see them. '

Hypnotism as an auxiliary to the practice of medicine is now be- ing used by some of the most cmi- nent physicians in this country. pr. Madison Taylor, attending physician of the late James G. Blaine, not only uses hypnotism but is a pronounced advocate of the theory. He promises to deal ex- tensively with the subject at the next meeting of the Philadelphia Medical Society, and to give facts in support of the theory. He de clares he has witnessed many beneficial results from its use, but thinks 1t should be used by physi- clans only as it becomes power full instrument for evil in the hands of interruptions persons. It is asserted by Dr. Taylor and sup ported by other medical gentlemen of equal prominence that by the use of hypnotism physicians are enabled to effect temporary and even permanent cures of the most powerful disorders without the use of drugs or medicines of any kind.

CONTRASTING TYPES

Detroit furnished striking con- trast the other night in the persons of two Republican representatives at the Michigan Club banquet Secretary Alger and Governor Pingree.
 Both men have won political successes. One has risen through the devious ways of corporate manipulation, franchise-grabbing, and alternately assisting and being benefited by the process of legisla- tive robbery.
 Pingree has mounted by fighting all those influences of which Alger is the exponent and beneficiary. He has championed the rights of the people and resisted the invas- ions of corporate power. He has denounced the lobby and made war against the agencies of pur- chased legislation.
 Alger's remarks at the banquet were lot of tawdry utterances about the gIories of war, to which he has, by the way, contributed only d sullen back ground. Pin gree's speech went like a sword thrust through the accumulated corruption that permeates the Re publican party. He told his com panions around the banquet board with blunt frankness, that the Re publican party, by yielding to the influences which dominate its lead CTS, is imperilling its continuance in power and is jeopardizing the peace and security of the Govern ment.
 It Is time, he declared, that cor porations, combines, trusts and multi-millionaires were requested to leave the front seats, at least !; time that men who can speak for the great body of voters, the men who believe in the Republication of Abraham Lincoln. should have room and part in the conduct of public affairs.
 Pingree s appeal for honesty and purity in his party is like the voice of one crying in the wilderness. It Is an anomaly. The fact that there is even one Republican of promi- hence who dares to stand out against the flood of corruption and trust influence that Is debauching the party to which he belongs rises almost to the proportions of po- litieal miracle.
 Pingree's cry is brave one, but 1t is futile. He might as well whistle against cyclone. The Republican party is welded to its idols. Honesty and courage are too scarce among its public men to divorce it.-Republic.
