REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

1From the Chicago News.J
No woman would mind getting old
if every other woman was older.
Dress up log in woman's frills and
a Juno in plain clothes, and man will
select the frills.
When a woman puts on her stockings
she feels that she is dressed; the rest is
merely touching up.
Give woman the choice between be-
ing admired or respected, and she will
choose being envied.
It's funny how the people who let
their houses run themselves and their
children go to the dogs are so busy
searching for higher light and other
things.

LENTZ OUT OF THE RACE.
His Partner Heads the Other Ticket,
and He himself Lacks Support

Columbus, o., June 12.-Congressm
John J. Lentz of this city. in a statement
issued today, withdraws from the Demo-
cratic race for governor. The Withdraw al
IS for the OStenSible reason that Mr..
Lentz lacks money and time to make the
race, and upon the inferentfal reason that
the senior member of the law firm of Nash
& LentZ was last week nominated by the
Republicans, and Mr.. Lentz, for business
and social reasons. and for the sake of
courtesy, does not desire to try to best his
partner.
The real reason. as suggested by the
facts, is that Mr.. Lentz has not received
that degree of encouragement that would
warrant him in remaining in the field.
His county Will be carried for Col.
James Kilbourne, a promise that is con-
ceded by the prophets.

CFrom the Atchison Globe.1
Most people of an effectionate dis
position also have bad breaths.
Down in the bottom of her heart,
every woman compares herself with a
flower.
It is a good idea to trust very few
people: those who are not dishonest,
may be careless.
AS people grow older. they realize
that the confidence they used to feel
was due entirely to the impudence of
youth.
The only advantage in being any
ones best friend is that you hear his
real opinion Of people, which is never
hattering.
We suppose that if ever the modest
shrinking violet got married. it would
be transformed into an aggressive
Canada thistle.
Another Atchison man who has
worked hard and saved enough money
to build new porch. is hearing a
story that his wife inherited the money
he is spending.
You are always hearing people
abused who are cold and clammy
They should be admired more. Cold
and clammy people never thaw out,
and tell their secrets.

WASHINGTON, January 90.-General
NJ. g. Butler was given a hearing by the

gave a detailed account OF the recent

soldiers and the Cubans lie spoke ot
General Brooke's order fOrbidding Cuban
participation ian the evacuation ceremo-
nies as u necessary precautiOn, as there
would have been trouble without it. The

At the same time, he thought the Gu

believed that the Cuban soldiers could be
utilized. and that II there were an or

Ger could be maintained, even among the
Cubans.
BI-RDEN OF SPANISH TAXES.
He dwelt at some length upon the ex-
cessive taxes imposed under the Old sys-
tenn.
General Butler expressed the opinion
that i'm time the Cuban people would be
capable of self-gOyernment but that they
should be given an opportunity TO quiet
down and get used TO a more liberal adj
ministration than they had ever known
He said. in reply TO question by Sena-

The fatal leap was taken shortly after

brought ashore. Doctors were at hand'
but after an hours work there were no
SIGNS of resuscitatiOn. The stomach

as soon as she struck the sea.
Previous to her arrival she had been
under treatment for nervous prostratlon
