Cook was noted gambler, and had

years He went to Portageville a few
days ago with two companions ami at
tempted to run the town. They created
much disturbance for two nights and then

The statement is made on good authori-

into their own hands. Forming into a
band they went to the house in which the
three desperadoes were sleeping, and.
catching them. bound them and took them
to the banks of the Mississippi, from

WHAT IS TT?

Apropos of pet names among mar
r1ed folks, there is one masculine
Christian name that no woman well
ever call her husband by What name
this is, it isn't necessary to say here.
In fact it wouldn't be fair so to
emphasize the prejudice against it,
Every man answering to the name is
aware OF WOman's dislike to it, and
every woman whose husband bears the
name knows how she will nickname
him and miscall him and all but re-
christen anything sooner than
let his diSliked real name or any of it's
dlminutives pass her lips. Unsenti-
mental though she may be by nature,
she will dear him to the end of his
days and upon all occasions, unsuitable
as we'll as suitable, rather then call
him by the one proper name all
women dislike. 1t is interesting to
note the ingenuity some women dis
play in evading the use of this name
One girl who married a man so
christened always called her husband
Judge" the man being an army man
court-martial Another husband of
this name was invariably know to his
Wife as ''Nebuchadnezzar'- that
Nebuchadnezzar in such pretty name.
dear knows, but it isn't under the ban
like the other one. Such prejudice is
wholly irrational The name itself
is good, safe, sound appellation,
having plenty of historic background
and many literary associations. It
does not offend generously. So far as
known men have no particular objec-
ton to it. Yet among women the
prejudice is certainly, if tacitly, very
strong. Considering that it's among
women, perhaps the remarkable thing,
after all, is not that such an irrational
sentiment should exist, but that any
sentiment should be felt unanimously.
