Seven Sauctitied Sisters.

They say that the best hotclln Texas
is to be found at Belton, town On the
Santa Fe road, and is kept by seven
sancti6ed sisters, as the proprletors
are properly called. Several years
ago, says the Chicago Record, woman
in that place and her husband quar-
relied over the best way Of expoundlng
the scriptures to Sunday school
class, and we're so stubborn that they
separated and were finally divorced.
The family controversy was taken up
by the town. which was soon distinctly
divided between the adherents OF the
husband and the wife. The result
was large crop Of divorces, and seven
husbandless women, including the
original cause of the commotion, join
ed together and rented the town hotel.
One of them did the cooking, another
was parior maid, and the third made
up the beds, and so they divided the
work among them, and ran the estab-
lishment on the cooperative plan.
They would not employ a man about
the place, although the most OF the
patrons were men, of course. People
say that women travellers preferred to
stop elsewhere, and that would be
woman's way. One Of the seven
"sanctifed sisters used to drive a
big carry-all down to the railway sta
tion three or four times day to meet
trains, but she let the regular transfer
company handle the luggage.
The hotel prospercd from the begin
ming, and there was no reason why it
should not, for everything was neat
and homelike and the cooking was the
best in Texas. which is not saying
much, perhaps, but is good reason
Why it was appreciated. Every Sun
day it was crowded. The drummers
used to swarm there from all the
northeru-central parts of the State,
and every passenger on the Santa Fe
trains was an advertisement agent.
The 'sancti6ed sisters made money,
as they deserved to do; they enlarged
their establishment and started
laundry in connection with it, where
the drummers left their soiled clothes
to be done up while they we're out
during the week. Then the sisters
bought hotel at Waco and started
laundry there, with equal success, and
now they are talking Of starting one
in New York.

VIII Near Divided Skirts.

Ten women Of Syracuse: in western
Kansas, have decided to renounce Gus
tom and fashion and will in future,
during the stormy season, wear di-
vided skirts. The women who live on
the plains Of western Kansas have
long hoped that some community
would declare against long skirts du-
ring the season when the wind sweeps
over that region at velocity Of thir-
ty-fve miles an hour. 1t is certain
that many other communities will in
augurate this new custom. Editor
Henry Black, Of Syracuse, says the
women Of that town will hereafter
appear in divided skirts during the
windstorm season, and that those who
have not the new style skirt will not
hesitate to wear the trousers Of their
husbands and brothers, without regard
to the comments and jeers Of those
who foolishly follow custom and fash
ion.-E:cchangc.

several good farms near Highmore.
These he decided to his wife. The few
hundred dollars he was able to scrape
together in cash he put into his own
nocket. and left to begin life afresll III

AS soon as he had gone his wife sued

ments accumulated a comfortable Tor

The past winter she spent in South

month ago she stopped temporarily III
San Francisco. On the street there one
day she met an emaciated figure IN

aid of heavy cane, in vain search tol'
employment. 1t was Ballantyne, dis
charged from the United States yolun-
teer Service and invaded h0melfrom
the Philippines after a fever.
Ballantyne was about to pass his
former wife without speaking to her,
but she, when she saw his wasted form
and miserable condition, spoke to him,
and took him to her hotel, where COM

services Of competent physicians. soon
produced a marked improvement IN his
health. Last week the two were re-
married, and have just returned to

sionary offerings have also been turn

Everything in town is a benefit; our

"Some Of the best society women in
the town have agreed to do without

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.
What a Yankee Preacher Thought OF
Charleston and the South.
Koahe,s lVestminster Ndings

fireworks and excursions kept the
crowds amused. The great procession
of the gray, on Wednesday afternoon,
many of them one-armed, others hob
bling along with one leg, some in the
rough, worn, treasured gray of over
thirty years ago, marching under rid
died and battered flags, behind the
old gun "Secesh, that fired the first
volley for secession in 1S61-was pa
thetic, and many a tear fell as we'll as
cheer rose. "We think this may be
the last Of all our Reunions" was
often said before this Charleston af-
fair, but, in matter Of fact, Louisville
was chosen for 1900, with no diminu-
tion of zeal or enthusiasm.
Fifth. Pride in Heroes.-To be
brave in danger, to give all for the
South, to suffer, to fight, to die in
battle, hospital, or prison-or to be
ready to-were the strains that IN
spired the orators and the poets OF the
occasion. When little fighting Joe
Wheeler was introduced as the hero
Of two wars, ard the well-known story
was told Of how he, forgetting his
environment, shouted at San Juan
hill: "The Yankees are on the run,
grey-haired men cheered till they
cried, exhausted; and the Southern
women became themselves diamonds
Of radiance in their devotion to the
hero Of the hour. Old Wade Hamp-
ton was, however. the hero Of the Re-
union Of 1899, and the loss, within
a month, of his South Carolina home
by ERE made the hearts Of all tender
toward the brayest Carolinian Of them
all.
Sixth. Pride in Women. Many
felt that the Reunion of 1899 might
veil pass for sort Of Interstate
diaplay Of the handsome women Of the
South. Instead of one for State,
many camps this year sent sponsors
and maids Of honor with new, bright
silk banners. Miss Winnie Davis,
ssthe Daughter Of the Confederacy," /"
was the heroine Of the memorial SER
vice, and Miss Mamie Randolph Heth,
Of Washington, was chief sponsor.
On what other occasion could Gen.
Gordon have literally embraced" Mrs.
Stonewall Jackson on the stage, "for
them ALL" without offending propri-
cites? After expressing appreciation
of President McKinley's attitude, the
Veterans voted that ''the care of the
final resting places is sacred trust,
dear to the hearts Of Southern women,
and we believe that we can safely let
it there remain.

A Good Suggestion

County superintendent Carp,
who is ever thoughtful of the
best interests of our public schools
and those who attend them, has
made suggestion to the county
board that met it's hearty APP
prevail and endorsement. His
plan is none other than to put
into every school room IN the
county copy of Webster's I'M
abridged dictionary for the use of
the teacher and every pupil IN
the school whose scholarship Will
permit him to use it.
There are a hundred reasons
why this should be so. In the
first place, it will familiarlze the
the scholars with this invalua BILE
aid to education. 1t will give
them an opportunity to learn the
correct pronunciation of words
and their meaning. This habit
formed will be of inestlma bic
value to them in their studies and
leave an impress that will not
be forgotten through life, besides
being a fountain of other useful
and valuable information not to
be secured through other sources.
1t will also be along the line
adopted by states who stand high
in their public school efficiency.
The editor of this paper, while
on his visit to Pennsylvania,
dropped into public school in
the rural district, and he found
there the flag, copy of Web
ster's unabridged dictionary and
a complete set of Appleton's en-
cyclopedia, which on inquiry were
found to be supplied by the town
ships of the county and for the
use of the teacher and pupils of
the school. The teacher highly
commended the appropriation,
and said that these volumes were
source of great profit to the adj
vanced Pupils of the school.
Now this question will come be-
fore the teachers association of
Marion county, Saturday, to be
discussed and acted upon, and
Superintendent earn expects to
get such endorsement and assist
ance in the work contemplated as
will make it success. Teachers,
give this subject your thought.
