SOME CHINESE PROVERBS.
WISDOM FOR WOMEN.

The gods honor her who thinketh
long before opening her lips.
The minds OF women are OF quick
silver and their hearts OF wax.
A vain woman is to be feared, for
she will sacrifice all for her pride.
Give heed to the voice of an old wom-
IN; sorrow hes given her wisdom.
naughty woman stumbles for she
cannot see what may be in her way.
A woman without children has not
yet the most precious Of her jewels.
A woman DESTROYS Of being seen by
men is not trustworthy; fear her
glance,
Respcctalwaysa silent woman; great
is the wisdom of the woman that hold.
eth her tongue
Give heed to her TO whom children
have come; she walks in the sacred
ways and lacks not love.
Trust not the woman that thinketh
more Of herself than another; mercy
will not dwell In her heart.
A beautiful woman knows not her
charms, therefore is she beautiful,
more so than the colors OF the sea.
A mother not spoken well of by her
children is an enemy Of the state; she
should not live within the Kingdoms
wall.
A woman who mistakes her place
can never return where she first was;
the path has been covered up from her
eyes,
A woman that respects herself Is
more beautiful than u single star;
more beautiful than many stars at

A woman tina, is no, loved is Kite
from which the string has been taken;

ted in Calhoun county in 1895. died
last week in the penitentiary at Little
Rock. where he was being held for
safe keeping, pending the trial Of
his accomplices, against whom he was
to testify. Bum was convicted Aug
ust 90. 1899, of the murder Of Allen
Martin, prominent planter, on his
own confession. Bum claimed that
he was hired to kill Martin by three
of his tenants. who were to give him
$3.50. After committing the crime the
murderer escaped. A posse in search
of him came upon negro several
days later in the woods, and under
the impression that the latter was the
man wanted. shot him to death. The
dead negro was identified as Bunn
and the crime had passed out OF the
minds of many citizens, when the
conscience-stricken murderer walked
into the police station at st. Louis
and surrendered, stating that he could
no longer endure the mental agony
his crime caused him. Bum was car
ried back to Calhoun county. tried
and convicted. and would have been
executed as soon as the trial Of his ac

CEDAR LAKE HEAD MYSTERY
The Theory BrOached that II May be
the Missing Head of
Pearl Bryan.

Chicago. Oct. 3.-EXperts on bones
will he called upon to determine the
character of the skull found in Cedar
lake. A portion OF the scalp and
some teeth were dragged from the
lake, Monday, by n seaching party,
but no other portion of the body was
found. Sheriff Lawrence of Crown
Point, Ind, says:
although we are completely at sea
regarding the identity of the unfor-
tunate whose head was found in Ce-
dar lake, yet we have two points
worked ont which may enable us to
eventually clear up the mystery. The
head is that of n woman, and she was
II resident of, or had visited large
city. The mouth plate and the two
false teeth attached TO II tell this
story. We have had several dentists
examine the plate. They all say it
Is from the mouth Of medum-sized
woman-that II is too small to have
been from the mouth of n man"
Sheriff Lawrence has also evolved
u startling theory In the mysterious
find, that the head Is none other
thnn that Of Pearl Bryan, who was
murdered at Covington Kyo u few
years ago. ...
The head of Miss Bryan was taken
away in gunnysack like that which
inclosed the find in Cedar lake, and
she wore a plate In her month,
Acting on this theory, sheriff Law.

Undertakers Want New Laws.

The Arkansas Federation of Funeral
Director will petition the next general
assembly to enact laws governing the
transportation of dead bodies to con-
form with rules in effect in other states.
The rules referred to have strict pro-
visions for the proper preparation OF
dead bodies, especially those of conta-
gious and infectious diseases, and re-
quire that an undertaken pass a rigid
and successful examination in embalm-
ing and sanitation before he can be
granted license by the state board OF
health. At the present time there is
no law requiring an undertaken to Sc
cure license when he engages in the
business in Arkansas. As conditions
exist in Arkansas just now, an under
talSer or any other person, whether he
be competent or not, can ship a dead
body. But owing to the license exist
ing in adjoining states, the remains are
liable to a hold up after crossing the
Arkansas boundary line.

THREE NIGHTS Of PERIL.
Story of the Siege Of Pekin Told
by Miss Cecile E. Ryan, Just
Arrived at Frisco.
The THREE TERRIBLE NIGHTS" PERIL
Surrounded by Thousands upon
Tbou.ands of Chinese Crying for
the Blood of the Foreigners ana
Firing Incessantly-Expect Any
Moment to BE the Last.

San Francisco, Oct. 3.-Miss Cecile
E. Paven, the young miniature painter
who went to Pekin last spring as the
guest of Minister and Mrs. Conger'
told a graphic story of the siege on
her arrival here.
Weeks of Terrible Anxiety.
"Of the whole eight weeks of ter
rible anxiety and dread she said,
"three nights stand out with special
prominence. They are spoken OF by
the beseged as the three terrible
nights. The first was just before the
siege about June II or IS. That Was
while we were in the American lega-
ton. We went into the British lega-
ton compound on June 20. The night
[ speak of was one the foreigners will
never forget. All night long went up
terrible bowls and shouts of thou
sands upon thousands of Chinese cry
ing for the blood of the foreigners.
The second Terrible Might.
"The second terrible night was
about the middle of the siege, when,
after three or four days of muggy
and sultry weather, one OF the most
violent thunder storms | ever expert
enced broke over the city. Everybody
had predicted that with the coming
of the rain the Chinese would cease
firing, but the effect was just the OPP
posite. 1t was a night of believing
thunder, roaring artillery, incessant
lightning and pouring rain.
The Last of the Horrors.
"The third and last night of horrors
was that of August 10, the day before
the relief came. On that night the
Chinese were fairly frantic, and
moved heaven and earth TO break in
and kill us. Firing that had seemed
furious was tame compared with the
hail of shot and shell that poured in
lpon us that night 1t came from all
guarters,and seemed to be from every
Imaginable kind of firearm.
Expected Death Every Moment.
1--WE had received reports of the
approach of the relief column, and
knew that it must be near, from the
frantic attempts of the Chinese to
slay us. We expected that any mo-
ment might be our last, as many
breaches were made by shells, and a
determined assault at any place would
have opened the way for the hordes
outside"
