few of the points of interest to be seen
in the territory which is now cele-
brating the date of its founding.
That the first white child born on
the Western Reserve should die for
want Of food shows the hardships
which the first settlers endured. The
first family to winter in the. Western
Reserve consisted of Judge Kings
bury and wife and children. They
located at Conneaut, which is situated
near the banks of Lake Erie. Pro-
visions were very scarce, and it is said
that more than once the Judge trans
ported through the wilderness on a
hand sled barrel of beef a distance
of 60 miles. The severest test of the
family came when Judge Kingsbury
was compelled by his business inter
ests to go to New York in the fall Of
the first year of their settlement at
Conneaut. The journey was a long
one in those days, when all who
wished to travel must ride horseback
or go on foot. Arriving in New York
he was taken sick and for several
months was unable to return to his
family. AS soon as he could travel he
started at once, and fearing that his
wife and little ones would have used
up the supply of provisions in his abb
sence he gathered together all he
could carry, and when his horse gave
out, hundred miles from home. he
placed the load upon his own back
and continued his trip. On reaching
the house he bounded inside with his
precious load of provisions. During
his absence another child had been
born and upon the cot lay the mother,
nearly famished. and beside her the
babe was dead. 1t had died for lack
OF nourishment, which the starving
mother was unable to furnish. This
is one of the saddest stories in con-
nection with the settlement of this
section.
The first church In the Western
Reserve is said to have been located at
Austinburg, the rur9s town which Is
soon to celebrate e.s centennial ami
versary. 1t is said that when the
church was dedicated there was brok-
en- over its steeple a bottle OF whisky.
This was in the days when even
preachers drank whisky. and nothing
was thought OF 1t. The church was
afterward one OF the strongest oppo-
nents Of the liquor traffic. and among

DEAD PASSION.
There Is Nothing Else So Dead as One
Mrs. Wilcox Says.

There Is Nothing Else So Dead as One
Mrs. Wilcox Says.
A man writes me that / do very
wrong TO advise wives to conquer and
control capricious passion for other
men. He says ii is a husbands duty
to give his wife the love she cries for
no matter If it necessitates her leaving
husband and children. He says: MY
wife, the mother OF three children,
told me she loved another. We waited
several years in friendly companion
ship only and then separated. She is
married to the man she loved. l have
remained one Of her best friends and
intimate with her husband. The Oldest
child went with me, visiting her when
ever he wishes; the other two re-
manned with the mother. We are both
far happier than had she been mourn
ing the lost paradise. My wife was
neither degenerate nor lunatic; she
neither ruined my life nor disgraced
her children. We have neither of us
ever regretted the step Our first and
sacred duty was to ourselves" OF
course it indicates very noble quality
in mans nature when he gives his
wife her freedom and helps her to the
happiness she longs for with another.
1t is what Ruskin did, and is far more
sensible than duel or a murder. l
admire and respect the man who does
it. The man or woman who endeavors
to keep anothers affection by force is
a selfish fool. Marriage is only beau
tiful or moral when both parties are
loving and beloved. But it is easy to
understand how a woman could fall
out of love with such a man as my
correspondent proves himself to be.
The husband who can remain in init
mate association with his divorced
wife after she marries another man,
who can comrade with his SUCCESSOR
is lacking in delicacy, in sentiment, in
refinement and in passion. 1t is no
wonder his wife wanted a change. To
be the friend in feeling to her is one
thing-to associate with her in her
new relations is quite another. IL
savors of Mormonism-and the thought
of it gives one unpleasant chills down
the spine There is nothing so dead as
q dea& passion. The corpse should be
buried at once-and not carried about
in view Of the whole world. There is
something lacking in the woman who
could permit such an association as
this. The woman Of real delicacy does
not like to be intimately associated
with an old sutton after she is married
to man she loves. She does not like
to be reminded that she ever allowed
any other man than her husband to
make love-like advances to her. She
wishes her old admirers we'll, but she
does not want them for intimate
friends, and certainly she does not
want a retired husband lowering about
her. Neither does the best and worth
lest type of man want old sweethearts,
old mistresses or old wives around his
new menage. 1t is all very indicate
and little short Of disgusting.-El!

The French Kitchen.

The French kitchen, however sman,
is always neat and in order, its brick
floor and blue and white thing giving
a picturesque appearance, often accent
ed by a rose-bush or other growing
plant in the window. Space Is
economical in every other point but
the range, which is strikingly gener-
Gus in size in comparison with other
appointments. The French cook de-
lights in copper kitchen utensils which
form such a shining array as to be al
most dazzling in effect. These are
hung in rows on the wall above and
convenient to the range, probably be-
cause kitchen closets are unknown in
France. The dresser (much the same

TEXAS SOLOMON.
How the Ownership of a Hen Was Ju-

HOW the ownership OF Hen was Ju-
diciaIly Determined.
Texas has always been noted for the
remarkable decisions of some OF its
minor judiciaries, which, while often
showing ignorance of the letter of the
law, contained a good deal of rude
equity and appreciation of what was
right between man and man, says the
Mexican Herald Some of Justice l. p.
Franklin's decisions at Brownsville,
would have done credit to the wise oSdi
in The Arabian Nights" One case l
recollect in particular. Two women
came to him one morning claiming the
ownership of hen, valued perhaps at
20 cents. Each had a crowd of wit
nesses, who swore point blank up and
down, one lot that the hen was the
property of one of the women and the
other gang that it was the property Of
the other. Here was a quandary.
Franklin thought awhile and then or
dered that the hen be left with the
court, and said he would render his de-
cision later. Just about sunset that
afternoon lip" accompanied by the
constable, who carried the hen in a
soap box, a couple of policemen and
two or three OF the court hangers-on,

TO MATCHES, MISS.

A railroad deal oi some magnitude was consummdted at Texarkana a few days ago. The principals in th } transac tion are William Buchanan, president Of the Arkansas & Loulsi- ana Railroad Company, c. F. Drake, acting for the Louisiana, Arkansas & Southern.
 The deal makes President Buchan an the purchaser of the L. A & s at cash price of $l35, 900. The property conveyed is a stretch of road witL spurs and rolling stock operating from Cotton Valley, La ;, to Sibley, La, a distance of twenty four miles, and the home off ee is Minden, La. The A. & .. intersec ted this road about two years ago and since then the two systems have been operated in concert. Com bin ed, the route is one hundred mics long, and coming under one man agement, as it now does, makes it an exceedingly desireable piece of railroad property.
 It has always been the intention of the two companies to pnsh the construction of the road to Match ez, Miss, and work to that end has been going on for some time. but with recent developments the pro ject will receive new impetus aud completion into Natchez will oc- cur within two years.

CHAPTER TX.


goest.
The Saturday matinee at the Audi
torium in Chicago was just over, and
the usual crowd was struggling to get
to its carriage before any one else. The
Auditorium attendant was shouting out
the number of different carriages, and
the carriage doors were slamming as
the horses were driven rapidly to the
curb, held there impatient by the
drivers, who had shivered long in the
raw east wind, and then let go to
plunge for few minutes into the river
of vehicles that tossed under the ele-
waited railway and finally went whirlins
off up the avenue.
"Now, then, 624!" shouted the Au-
ditorium attendant "Six hundred and
twenty-four!" he repeated as there
dashed up to the curb splendid span
of black horses attached to carriage
having the monogram &c. R. S. = in
gilt letters on the panel of the door.
Two girls stepped out of the crowd
toward the carriage The older one had
entered and taken her seat. and the at
tendant was still holding the door open
