Sam Jones on IngersOll.

A Virginia special to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat quotes Sam Jones
as saying:
what do 1 think of Bob Inger,
soil? | have had my opinion pretty
well expressed in an editorial com
ment in the Atlanta Constitution.
In brief, that editorial said that In
gersoll fought in the open and made
no pretentions of being other than
he was. He did not profess religion
to betrayal. He struck Christianity
no blow while pretending to hold its
doctrines. But in all his life Inger.
soil never did one-half the harm
committed by the Briggs, the Pot
tiers, the Lyman Abbotts, and others
of like kidney have done, and are
doing, and will continue to do.
'Them's my sentiments
II suppose infidelity is progress
sive. Ingersoll began by doubling
Then denied. Then he denounced
He wound up by doubling whether
his doubts were doubts or not. Peace
to his ashes. did not gang with
him while he lived, and will not
abuse him now that he Is dead. But
II he could get back to this country
and fill the engagements he made
while alive, | would like a front
seat to hear what he has to say now
with the experience of the past few
days added to his original lectures.

InSniratiOn in n Shoe. String.

The diffident young man had want
ed to propose to the girl, but for the
life of him be did not know how to
go about it. He read books on the
subject and sought information from
men who had experience, and while
the theories were admirable. in every
instance he found that the practice
thereof was a different thing.
He was walking with her one even
ing thinking over these things when
her shoe became united. She stuck
out her pretty little foot with smile
looked down at it and he fell on his
knees and tied the lace. Then he
walked on with her, and the shoe
became united again. The third time
it happened he was ready as before.
"St if you can't tie knot that
will stick she said, as he worked
away at it.
He looked up at her tender!y.
IF | can't, L know man who
can" he said.
DO you want him to tie it?" she
asked conquettishly.
Yes," he replied.
She jerked her foot away.
He smiled to himself.
Its the parson," he said, and he
rose to his feet and finished the
work.

TO her land;
She saw MIN on the transport rs he
waved his sun Drowned hand:
She kissed him through the tear drops
and she told him to be brave;
Her prayer went night and morning
with her boy upon the wave.
The mother of a soldier-hef comfort
and her joy,
She gave her dearest treasure when she
gave her only boy;
She saw the banners waving, she heard
the people cheer;
She clasped her hands and bravely
look ed away to hide a tear.
The mother of soldier,-Ah cheer the
hero dead,
And cheer the brave who battle meath
the banner of their creed;
But don't forget the mothers, through
all the lonely years,
That fight the bravest battles on the
sunless field of tears.
Nay, dor't forget the mOthers,-the
mothers of our men,
Who see them go and never know that
they'll come back again;
That give them to their country, to bat
tie and to die,
Because the hugles call them and the
starry banners fly.

KENTUCKY'S WILD MAN.
Lives On Snakes aud Lizards In Cave
Near TayIOrSVIIIe.

Near TaylOrsViIIe.
A cave on the hillside nc Mount
Washington, thirteen miles away, is
the home of n wild man. Whence he
came Is "A mystery. but he lives on fish
snakes, lizards aud anything else he
can catch, and his powers in this line
are as we'll developed AS those of "A wild
beast.
Squire N. l.. Harris, near whose home
the cave is situated, discovered the
wild man few nights ago. While
feeding his stock he noticed smOke
curling from the mouth of the cave.
Going To the entrance he found lot of
bones and feathers scattered around
He did not race IT, get inside the cave,
not knowing what wild animal abode
there.
He decided, however, to watch and
discover the tenant. A day or two
afterward he returned to the place and
found the lOdger outside the cave. 1t
was the strangest bit of humanity ever
seen hereabouts-a little dried up man
not more than four feet high, weighing
30 pounds or less and covered with a
shaggy coat of nair. His clothing was
hardly worthy of attention.
The wild man tried to escape into the
cave, but Mr.. Harris intercepted him
and endeavOred to find out whence he
came and who he was. tt e strange
creature, however, could talk only in a
jargon not understood by his ques-
TONERS, but the Squire finally made out
that he came from South America.
This verita5le wild mani has lost all
vestige of civilization. His hands are
paws to all intents, and he fears man as
much as any wild animal does. Squire
Harris told his neigh bors of his disCoV-
cry, and hundreds of persons have been
to the cave hoping to see the strang e
object. but they have failed of their
pun pose.
On the approach of any body the wild
man seeks the darkest recesses of the
cavern, and he must be able TO see in
the dark, for the presence of anybody
ON the outside is enough to keep him
concealed until the intruder has de
parted. How long he has been in the
cavern is not known. He is, probably,
60 years old. The neigh hors do not cal e
to modest him, as he commits no depIe e.
dations and makes his own living with
out being Acknowledgement

WHAT THEY SAID.
A Society Woman Who Overheard the
Talk of Her Servants.

A Society Woman Who Overheard the
Talk of Her Servants.
In company with a friend she was
driven in her own carriage to the front
entrance of a city theater about 8 o'clock
at night
They left the carriage and went to the
managers office, where the second lady
had an appointment regarding charity
benefit.
Matters becoming little dull. she
begged leave to wait in her carriage,
and came out to it.
Neither coachman nor footman was
on the box, and the indignant woman
saw that the horses had been hitched to
lamp post.
She entered the vehicle quietly, closed
the door, and awaited developments.
Presently both of the men emerged
from nearby saloon, and, wiplng
their mouths on their coat sleeves,
mounted the box, after unhitching the
horses.
Then this conversation fioated down
to her:
wonder how long the old girls going
to be?"
God knows! wonder what she's up
to?"
"G dunno. Maybe she's gone in to see
the show"
mo, she amt. heard her tell the
old man she'd be back in an hour"
Gle wouldn't care if she didn't come
back in week."
"That's right. Say she's got him un-
der her thumb, if ever woman had"
"Well, don't blame her. He's hard
proposition, he is. guess he must have
married her for her money"
you needn't guess again. You're
it,"
By this time the poor lady below was
in condition bordering on frenzy.
She bit her lips until they almost bled
and her heart grew cold as she thought
of the cruel ingratitude of these men,
whom she had always treated with
kindly consideration.
But there was more.
"What's her friend want at the the
ayter?"
"Well, cook says she thinks she's 60
ing to be play actress"
"Ha! ha! ma! Why, she couldn't 60 on
the stage They'd give her the laugh,
sure. She's too old"
Here the much maligned lady came
out, escorted by polite attac he, and
joined her half-hysTerical friend in the
carriage.
"Drive home" said the new arrival.
Then she caught her weeping friend
in her arms.
swell, Annie dear, what's the matteri
Drive home, Frank
The coachman hesitated.
"Shan't we wait for Mrs. B., madam p
"She is here in the carriage. She has
been here for the last twenty minutes
Drive home"
And home they drove, the chill O.
horror upon the faithless twain on the
box, and the heat of indignation gener-
ating in the carriage.
The two men were discharged thai
night, and the question, "Do our ser
wants talk about us?" was settled il

STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George Williams, of
Manchester, Mich, tells how such slave
was made free. He says: "My wife has
been so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures ner-
vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
headache, fainting and dizzy spells.
This miracle working medicine is a
godsend to weak, sickly, run down peo-
pie. Every bottle guaranteed. Only so
cents. Sold by Woodbridge IL Irvine, drug

The Tongue Hath Slain its Ten Thousand.
Now the tongue is shield lifted
up for attack against the wrong /;
now it is spear whose sharp point
is turned against the right. The
sword hath slain its thousands, but
the tongue its ten thousands. OF
the children of sympathy it may be
said, the tongue sends forth healing
balms and cordials; but of envious
men it is true that the "prison of
asps is under their lips" For, as of
old. so now, the tongue is hand
wherewith we lift men up or a mace
wherewith we strike men down.
With this instrument we bless God,
with it we curse men. No other
member carries such power; and
nothIng taxes man like the skillful
handling OF the tongue aud its brid-
ding, even as the chariOteer lifts the
Teins above his well-trained steeds.
From the tongue gushes forth COM
fort like a cool, sweet spring; the
tongue is a harp, piling up masses
sOf melody; the tongue is a fruitful
bower, full of bounty and delight
the tongue carries glow, warming
tthe soul like winters fire; it sends
forth sweet songs to be sung in camp
and wept over in cottage. Out OF
words the tongue weaves for the
hero armOr against all enemies

To dress well is a genius in itself
and shO uld be elevated to the rank
-ofthe fine arts. 1t consists, first, in
buying only handsome clothes, hav.
ing them made fashionably, and,
above all, becoming, and never be-
ing beguiled into buying anything
dowdy or common looking just be-
cause it is bargain. IT one is rich
all this is easy, but the woman of
moderate or very slender means
should not despair, for it ispossible
to be very we'll clothed at COM
paratively small outlay if one is
good manager. A woman with but
a small sum to spend in clothing
herself should study the fashions
carefully and never have anything
made iN an extreme mode that may
perhaps go out of style in six months
and so "date" the garment at once.
she should never buy loud pattern
ed or brilliant colored cloths or silks
that can be recognized and remem
bered for years no matter how much
they are made over. And she
should invariably purchase good
materials; there is absolutely no
economy in cheap, common looking
trash. If it comes to choice be-
tween three cheap, common gowns
or ere of decent material, choose
the enc every time, and you will
as long as it's lasts and can be made
over and serve for one or two sea-
sons more, if need be.

Beware OF the tunic. 1t is certainly
Cbe grdnde mode of the moment, but
1 am told by one of the makers of
the mode that it will quite go out in
the autumn. So do not put it into
cloth. 1t is astonishing how much
a cloth is still used, even for the
most ephemeral summer things.
aGtamine, yelling, all those charac-
terless materials, are Instantly given
tone and accent by cloth accessories.
Stitched cloth bands are used for
trimming these, and a charming
effect that / have seen several times
was given by cloth aud gauze. A
gown of thin yelling was made over
q transparent of faille. The revers,
the border of the tunic, the band
around the ruffles, were all of per.
v<orated cloth en- gauze. This pretty
Sbasket-work trimming is quite easy
TO make at home, simply by cutting
dong strips of cloth, stitching the
edges, and weaving these into a
basket pattern They can be put on
over silk, and are always effe ctive.
A charming novelty in this sea-
sons fashions il the long scarfs that
ARE lust beginning to be seen with
Ithe thin gowns. These are made of
any sort of supply gauze or muslin,
and edged with fringe, or wide bit
of lace capable of falling softly.
Another thing-the great use OF
fancy ribbons as trimmings,
especially on white dresses. These
5fenm headings for ruffles, put
on in patterns-ruffies undulate
around them; they simulate TUNES
on the SKIRTS, and boleros on the
waists. They are also extremely
dainty on linon dresses.
