SAYS he MAY BEAT HIS WIFE.
Missouri Man Proposes to Garry the
Case to the Higher
Courts.

TO what extent, and for what Of
fenses of omission and commission.
may a man beat his wife? This is a
question that the higher courts of
Missouri must pass upon. Edward
Spenser, a prominent farmer near
Trenton, Mo, has just been convicted
of whipping his wife, although he
quoted Scripture in the courtroom to
justify his actions.
Mrs. Spenser admitted the right Of
her lord and master to castigate her,
but: mildly protested that he had ez-
ceeded the limit. For instance, he had
once wallopeu her .soundly because
she could not see a squirrel he was
trying to point out in tree. Upon
another occasion she was smartly
thrashed because she would not wash
a buggy that they might drive to
church, where Spenser was to sing in
the choir.
g. The neighbors made the complaint
that Led to the trial, insisting that
unless the law repressed Spenser they
would, and broadly limited that they
would use very efPectual measures.
Spenser pleaded his own case, but was
sentenced to pay a fine and to 1epose
several weeks in jail. He will appeal
the case.

/. Experiments with the pigeon post
are being actively conducted at the

CINCINNATI DISAPPOINTED.
Greatly Dissatisfied with the Work Of
the Census Enumerators-CIaim
They Are 10000 Short,

Great dissatisfaction is felt over the
census returns from Cincinnati, and
from the way the citizens of that
city have complained to the census Of
fee it has placed the Cincinnati
enumerators below par. Cincinnati
claims it is at the least calculation
10000 short on the last count. In
speaking of the matter officials at the
census office were inclined to think
that the count was as correct as that
of other cities that have been enumer-
ated in the present census, and that
Cincinnati must realize it long ago
passed its prime, which was before
the decline Of traffic on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers.
Cincinnati well deserved the name
Of "Queen City, in the days when
it commanded the entire trade of
those two tributaries as the metrop-
oils of the state Of Ohio. It. is but
the old story of river versus railways
and. no more than can be expected.
The rivalry between Cleveland and
Cincinnati is SO great as to which
shall be regarded as the metropolis
of the state that if Cleveland's re-
turns, which will be given out in a
few days by the census office, should
be larger than Cincinnati it will com
pei Cincinnati to abandon the title
of "Queen City" Much bitterness ex-
lists in Cincinnati and the census Of
fee is getting the benefit of it,

WEAZEL GAVE HIM TERRoR.l
Oakland Man AZ frightened a.
Though the Tiny Animal Were
| q Grizzly Bear. @ ID. .Iss

O. 81. Richardson, who weighs 200
pounds, and is employed at the Pied
mont baths, Oakland, Cal, was held a
prisoner in one of the large reservoirs
at the baths the other day for two
hours by a weasel weighing less than.
two pounds. The men who came to the
rescue when they heard Richardson's s
cries for assistance say he. could not
| have made more different kinds of noise
or exhibited greater signs of terror if
the animal guarding the exit Of the
reservoir had been a grizzly Ht. -. ~.
Richardson had been sent to the
reservoir early in the morning to make
some repairs before the weekly water
supply was turned in. He had COM
pleted his work and was ON the first
round of the ladder leading from the
bottom of the reservoir to the manhole
above when he happened to glance up
ward There was the tiny weasel just
at the top of the ladder. In terror,
Richardson fed to the farthest corner
of the reservoir, but, retreat as far as
be could, the weasel kept eyeing him
curiously and Richardson's fears kept
rising. At last, made desperate, Rich
! ardson resolved to call for assistance
+ ''Help! Help! Murder! Murder!' -
ne cried again and again, but the only
answer was the echo of his own voice.
After two hours of waiting fellow
, workmen, attracted by Richardson S
cries, climbed upon the tank. Their
presence frightened the weasel and
they managed to get Richardson out of
the tank. He was i'll all night and the
next day from his great fright.
Richardson says, weasel or no weasel,
/ the animal looked like it weighed a ton.

their carriage, tall and slender, 1.-the
and graceful, their untamed spirit visi-
bic In every motion, their bearing Is
that Of an unconquered people. Used
as living barrier against the Tartar
invasions of Russia, they were never
conquered. Living in what they call
camps, each with his horse and gun,
they are always ready to move in re-
Spouse to the emperor's call.
Their costume Is long, tight fitting
coat reaching to the knee, having loose
sleeves and a small, standing collar
and with row Of ammunition pockets
across the breast. The colored belt
which encircles the Cossacks slender
waist bristles with ornamented knives,
daggers and pistols. Soft, high boots
without heels and great lambs wool
cap, with a little touch Of color for
the soft crown, and then the burka or
long cape Of hairy felt which they seem
to wear In all sorts Of weather COM

He Had Too Many Names.

About two years before Mr.. Sawyer
retired from the senate his mail one
morning contained touching letter
from man In Maryland whose home
had just been frightened by the ar
rival Of a bouncing boy. The fond
parent went on to tell that the boy
would be named Philetus Sawyer
Jones and expressed the hope that the
child would grow up an honor to the
name and the possessor of the fine
traits Of character that distinguished
the generous hearted man whose name
would be borne by himself.
Senator Sawyer went to the senate
chamber with warm glow In his
heart and the determination to send
that fond parent nice big check. He
felt so good that he showed the letter
to Senator Allison. The Iowa man
chuckled as he read 1t and produced a
letter almost identical, except that the
young prodigy was to be named VIII
liam Allison Jones.
1t was too good to keep, and they
told the story to Senator Edmunds of
Vermont. That stately old gentleman
melted sufficiently to smilingly produce
