also going to pieces because Of dyspepsia,

The Southern Girl.

Ii is the Southern girls mission in life
to be pleasing and to have men at her
feet. With perfect tact and admirable
poise, and the ease which is her legacy
from generations of adorable women who
went before her, she receives and amuses
and entertains the men who are fortu-
Hate enough to be on her mothers or her
aunts visiting list. She has her innocent
coquetries; they are part of her charm.
If a half dozen men are not devoted to
her at one and the same time she feels
defrauded of something which belongs to
her in virtue of her beauty and her youth.
After a while, but sooner than her New
England cousin, the Southern girl, of
Virginia, Kentucky or Alabama will
choose her husband from the group of
lovers who have lowered around her like
moths about a flower or lamp, and, hav-
ing given him her promise to love, honor
and obey, she will straightway drop her
ficklesneSs and become transformed into
the most domestic of women the most
tenderly loyal and patient wives. To girls
she leaves the gayeties of society, moving
through its mazes henceforward with the
serene and somewhat detached manner
of a matron, who may properly chaperon
others, but for whom the game itself Is
over, as she holds the winning hand.

THE PENALTY IMPOSED.

The compromise loan bonds, amount
Ing 70 $4,000 a legacy from a past
generated uf extravaganza and of sub
sequent municipal improvidence will be
due and payable in about three weeks.
Council has failed and neglected to pro-
vide for the debt through a refunding
ordinance carrying that amount simp-
ly-a measure for which everybody
would have voted because it was abso-
lutely necessary. The result will be
default on the part of the city. That
end is now inevitable, because it Is
too late for action. The city has been
placed in the position of letting it's OBJ
legations 60 to protest because the Off
Gals, in and o'It of Council, were not
allowed to have their way Ky the peo-
pie. The voters refused to endorse fl
nancial schemes which meant heavy
and unnecessary public burdens, and
the result will be black eye for the
citys credit, and perhaps writ or
mandamus compelling a tax levy suf-
ficient to meet the obligation almost
due
This is the revenge of the ring upon
