De.ounce the Deed.
The republican state officials and
members of the legislature, without ex-
ception, denounced the shooting in the
most unmeasured terms. Gov. Taylor
Immediately caused a small address TO
be published in which he declared the
affair to be disgrace, and an outrage,
and calling for the most sober con-
demnation. He sent orders at once to
Adjt. Gen. Collier directing him to take
steps for the preservation of order.
Gen. Collier is republican and is OPP
posed to Mr.. Goebel. He declared the
shooting TO be a most cowardly affair,
and one that upon every consideration
was to be regretted.
Troops Called Out.
BE lost no time in making speeches

lifted from the ground to be carried
to the hotel Gen. Collier had telephoned

WHAT A FORMER AMERICAN

The following letter written by Mr.

built four stables lSN20 inside. so that
we could put everything inside them
when the cold got down to the tifties.
and worked hard getting up the stable
and got through clubbing on the LIST

no use for the stables only for the mllf
cow and two span of horses. The balS

CEREMONIOUS OLD PEOPLE.
They Are Scandnlized by the Lack o,
Respect That Is Manifested
Nowadays.

Every now and then an elderly mar.
rIed couple will meet who address each
other with the stateliness that was Gus
tomary 80 years ago, says the Balti-
more News. The husband is Mr.. Smith"

conventional is ever heard from them,
Indeed, neither might have a first name
for all the use that his better half
makes of it.
Il just couldn't call your father
Charlie" a quiet little woman said the
other day, in answer to her daughters
gibings, why it wouldn't be respect
full. l never did in my life. and 1 GER
tainly wouldn't now, when you are all
grown"
But what did you call him when you
were engaged"" persisted her inquisi-
tor. You surely didn't go around then
calling each other Mr.. Jones and. Miss
Smith,"
1--WE didn't always" replied the little
woman, evasively, but l liked to give
him his title even then-it's more re-
spectful, much more respectful"
I'D rather have more affection and
less respect" said the daughter, re-
belliously. ut doesn't sound as if you
had anything but a bowling acquaint-
ance with him when you say Mister all
the time. I'm going to call my husband
Fritz whether it's his name or not, it
has such a Jolly air"
And the average married couple Of
this day and age. with a fine disregard
for respect and old-fashioned courtesy,
usually call each other by a nickname
of varying degrees of beauty, and which
has oftentimes a remote connection
with the n given them in baptism.
But after all one likes this way better
than the stiff conventionality which
led a woman all through a married life
of 80 or 40 years to address her liege
lord as Mr.. Smith. or Jones. or Brown,
just as though he were verify her mas
ter and she were living in medieval
times when exaggerated p~oliteness

TOO BIG A
Women Cannot Keep House and Earn
Money mt the Same
Time.

A woman of wide repute, who has
keeper by turns and tried to be both
at once, has this to say of her ex-
pertinent: Until 4 woman has tried
it she never knows what it means to
be ~housekeeper and business woman
combined. and few can stand the
little while, but just now l do not
see any other way to adjust matters.
But it is this division of duties that
gives the opportunity for the criti-
cism sometimes heard relative to
womeE's and mems ability in bust
ness. \ man is not expected to do
anything else but attend TO business
during business hours, and then amuse
himself in the way he best likes aft
onward. But 4 woman is not only en-
pected to thoroughly understand the
business in which she is interested,
but to know how to conduct a house
in all its details. and, furthermore. to
put this knowledge into practice. and
a great many business women try to
do too much. They are at once their
W cooks. dressmakers. milliners
and household managers. and follow
a business pursuit in addition. 1t
naturally follows that something must
be sacrificed. Generally it is the
woman's health as the consequence of
her conscientious endearor to do her
duty inside and outside her home"

Truth is difficult to obtain, that is,
the whole truth. Consequently man.
kind gropes in error on many points,
sometimes for many centuries. Well.
established beliefs are SO well en-

and kings.
As a matter of fact every brain is
capable of receiving inspired truth.
Inspiration came not only to the writ

writers of the New Testament, but to
