1t was a pie and pound party.
That is, the girls were sweeter
and more luscious than pie and
the boys each had a pound of

fun and 4 new sweetheart were

AFTER PEABODY.

Judge Peabody Of the First Dis
ltrict Police court in St. Louis, a
short time ago, tried a man for
beating his wife, ana he gave him
| a long sentence and such a repri
mand that the papers called the
Judge down on it, and quite a stir
was kicked up at the time over the
matter. Not long afterward anoth-
ermln was arrested at the instance
of wife making complaint on
the same charge, that of wife beat
ing. The evidence showed in the
last case that the man only slapped
his wife, after she ordered the son
to do contrary to his bidding.
The Judge found the man not
guilty and said there was times
when a man was justified in slap
ping his wife. The press jumped
on the Judge again for his utterance
on the bench, and the papers skia-
ned him good.
The Judge is out now in card in
which he says:
"When a woman takes man for
her husband she does so knowing
full well that be is to be the ruler
Of the house, and shall have as
much to say as she. Whenever
there is a dispute between them
and the husbands desire is a good
one it should certainly be acceded
to. If he is then provoked to un.
due anger, | think he would be
partly justified in striking her. A
whole lot depends upon the woman.
There are women and there are
others 1t is my misfortune to
have to deal with a few of the
Others AS a rule they are dis
agreeable women with whom it
would be impossible to get along
without giving them an occasional
dressing dewn. AS soon as a wo-
man mounts the witness stand J
can tell if she Is Highbinder." d"

Insanity and Youth.

The case of Lady Durh am, re-
lated in the Sunday Post Dispatch,
who kept her youth for II years
and far into middle age, while out
of her mind and closely confined in
an asylum, is curious, but not
singular.
Trouble and fear wreak them
selves On the face, They bring the
wrinkles, not time or experience.
But then condition of mind is
produced which is oblivious to fear,
envy, malice and emotion, the body
will retain its youthful vigor and
beauty.
This has been observed among
sane and insane. tranquility in
either is the condition OF youth.
Without it age comes in the spring
time.

If Little Rock needs an ordinance
