DARING HOLDUP.

Merchant Tuesday Night.
Shot and Wounded Him For Be-
ing Slow to Throw Up His
Hands. &

Jacob Walker, young man who
keeps grocery out near the east
ern limits of the city, was murder
ously assaulted Tuesday night by
an unknown negro who entered his
store for the purpose of robbery.
1t was about 9 o'clock when Mr..
Walker was alone in his store,
counting up the receipts of the day.
The negro walked in and asked
what lie had to eat, but before the
merchant could reply the intruder
leveled revolver atshim and said:
Hold up your hands. "
AS Walker did not do so, the rob
Der fired at him, the bullet entered
his left shoulder. Mr.. Walker ran
from the store and into his dwelling
adjoining it and the negro ran be-
hind the counter, snatched $35 from
the cash drawer and disappeared
outside in the darkness.
Mr.. Walkers wound was found
not to be very serious. He fur
nished the officers a description Of
the robber, but he has not yet-beep
captured and has probably made
good his escape. One ARREST was
made, but it proved not to be the
man, Mr.. Walker says he can identi-
fly the robber, as he observed him
closely.

SHOULD WOMEN sMoKE7

Il is Contended by Some People That They
Have Perfect Right to Smoke Cigarettes.
Astonishing as it may seem, there
are not few people who advocate the
a loption of the smoking habit by wo'
men. Opinion as to whether the
members of the sex should smoke or
not is as varied as it ever was. 1t is
just rs true that the women who en-.
joy cigarette persevere and do not
apparently suffer from INDUCING this
taste with discretion. Most women
know the overgrown college student
who says patronizingly, "Oh, no; 1
don't mind women's smoking; but l
shouldn't at all like to zee my sister
smoke, or my wife, if I had one" This
familiar oracle is usually too youthful
to have it make much difference what
he says or thinks and only the most
faint-hearted smoker would ever
abandon her cigarette because OF his
disapproval. Men of experience are
either Indifferent to the cigarette
question, holding that a woman has q
right to do as she wants in such case,
as long as she never forgets what is
due to her position, or they are de.
cisively opposed to, with no federation
of the habit in the women they have
. right to control. There is practi.
cally no class that owns to q delight
in seeing women smoke.
Smoking among women is more
common in Europe than in the United
States, and here it is much more
frequently seen in New York and the
Eastern cities than in the West and
South. In Europe any suggestion
that smoking was improper for wo-
men would be received with amaze
ment. 1t might be thought unhealth-
full or expensive, but its improperly
would not be discussed. There could
be no room for such an opinion in
countries where smoking il 20 COM
mon among the highly placed as it
is in most of the European nations.
The Princess of Wales set the seal of
the highest approval in Great Britain
on the fashion Of smoking score Of
years ago, when she had her servants

small cigarettes OF kind she had
smoked for years before that. This
made the habit permissible to all wo-
men in Great Britain, if it had indeed
needed any such countenance. Queen
Victoria's we'll known opposition to
the practice was not enough to dis
courage its votaries after the princess
had given it her frank approval. -
