The Little Joker IN the Epltaph,

An eDitaph placed over the grave OF
a late citizen of Lost Creek, who died
quite unexpectedly, says the Denver
Post
Here lies the clay OF Mitchell Coots,
Whose feet yet occupy his boots;
His soul has gone-we know not where
It landed, neither do we care.
He slipped the joker up his sleeve
With vile intention to deceive,
And when detected tried to jerk
His gun, but didn't get his work
In with sufficient swiftness, which
Explains the presence here of Mitch.
At Gabriers trump, if he should wake,
He'll mighty likely try to take
The trump with that same joker he
Had sleevad so surreptitiOusly.
And which we placed upon his bier
When we concealed the body here.

he PULLED OFF FALSE CURL.
Young Married Couple Separate After
Few Minutes of HAPPINESS.

An incident illustrating the danger
OF putting on false front occurred in
Patterson, N. j., the other day. Thos.
Joyce met Mary Ralston at ball.
They danced together once, and fell in
love Immediately. Tom proposed in
Simultaneous marriage, and Mary said
yes. They hunted up a magistrate,
and the knot was tied, within an hour
from the time they were introduced.
Tom kissed the bride, and said: "Ill
wwear lock of your hair next my
heart always darling" whereupon he
made grab at particular fine curl
that danglcd temptingly on her fore
head. Mary screamed, but before she
could prevent it Tom had the curl
clutched. And off it came, and with a
whole lot of other curls. neatly glued
to base. Tom swore she was de-
ceiver, and picked up his hat and left,
saying he would never return. He has
kept his word, and Mary will sue for a
divorce.

A Worse Evil Exists.
From the jackson Argus.

x
Mrs. r. D. Lowe, leading Georgia
Federation woman, very ably discusses
the chil1 labor question, and is emf
neutly correct in some of the points
she makes. But, if the preachers OF
Atlanta and New York and other large
cities are to be believed, the children
of today are suffering more from the
neglect of society mothers who run off
to card parties and play and drink
wine, and engage in all kinds of fash
ionable frivoities, than from having
to work. The child's labor is often
necessary for the support of wife aud
younger children, but 1t is never nee
essary that mother neglect her
children and go off to play cards.
Mrs. Lowe ought to shift her gun q
little and fire into these society wom
en-. They need it worse than the fac
tories, for judging by PeppertOn Mills
the families and children of Georgia g
factory operatives are among the hap
piest, best provided for people in the
state.

A special from Americas says the
most disastrous hailstorm ever ex-

resembled heavy snow storm.
Many thousand acres of fine cotton

There is not q vestige of the cotton

pose replanting, while others, despair

GERMANY AND THE TARIFF.
Claims that the United States is Do
ing Injury to German Imports
by Enormous Duties.

Berlin, Oct. 1.-The German newspa-
pers claim that the United States gov
eminent has done further injury to
German imports by a vexatious appli-
cation of the tariff. For instance, it
is alleged that %penholders pay
enormous duties" because they con-
sist of different materials.
Some journals ask in substance
what have we to expect on the part
of America if our tariff bill become
law?"
The Leipzeiger T~ageblatt national
liberaD says:
IF America vexes us so boldly then
we must have for Americans and on
account of America an autonomous
tariff, with high rates to teach that
country manners"
Several papers have recently assert
ed that German sparkling wines and
liquors must pay higher duties in the
United States than French goods of
the same kind; but the Nord Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung to-day refutes this
statement.

PRESS AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
The Missouri Press Association VIII
Probably Have Charge of the

ST. Louis, Oct. IA press building

representatives of the press from 9TH
states and from abroad.

dent T. T. Wilson, Corresponding Sec

tary j. M. Sosey and Treasurer W. L.
ecutive committee of the Missouri
Worlds Fair commission, and submit
ted their plans. The Missouri COM
mission was asked to devote a por-
ton of its funds to furnishing a press
building, to be erected by the Louisi-
Ii Purchase Exposition Co. 1t was
explained to the commission that the
proposed building would be of sutfi-
cient size to entertain all press repre-
sentatives who visited the Worlds
fair. The Missouri commission and
the Worlds fair management alike
took kindly to the idea hat Missouri
newspaper men be assigned TO the
duty of looking after press headquar-
trs.
While no formal order was made
to that effect, the Missouri commits
sion indicated that it would furnish
and equip the proposed building pro-
vided it is built on the Missouri state
reservation of the Worlds fair site.
1t is understood that this will meet
with the approval of the executive
committee of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition, and plans are going for
ward with that end in view.

GOVERNMENT A SUCCESS.
Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, Gives
a Good of Progress in
the Philippines.

Omaha. Neb., Oct. 1.-Senator Diet
rich, who has just returned from the
Philippines, vas in the city yesterday
and talked of the conditions in the
Philippines. He was pleased with the
progress, and speaking of the new
civil government, said:
'"The civil government is a success.
The governments which have been
formed with natives at the head are
running in n smooth amer and CIV
ing the best of satisfaction. This is
especially true in Luzon, where the
rebellion has been crushed"
Senator DIETRICH has visited the ISL
and of Samar, where Company C, of
the Ninth infantry, was am~buscaded
Saturday.
The island is filed with banditti
and outcasts," he explained. "When
the insurgents were driven out of
Luzon and the other nearby islands,
those who did not take the oath of
allegiance fed to Samar. In a short
time the island, which had been peace
able, was n hotbed of trouble. The
bad characters of the archipelago
gathered there and forced the natives
to join their forces. The banditti
have violated every rule of war and
civilization, and it will doubtless re-
quire considerable force to bring them
to terms"

THE CAPTURE OF MISS STONE.
First Ineligible Account Of How
the WeII-KnOwn Missionary
wa nike by Brigands.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. IA detailed
account of the capture OF Miss Ellen
Stone, the missionary, by brigands IN
Turkey, has been received in a letter
from Mrs. Ii. C. Haskell, of Samokov,
Bulgaria, to q relative here. Her let
ter says Miss Stone had been holding
her usual summer school for Bible
workers in Bansko, Macedonia. On
September 3 a party consisting Of
students from the collegiate institute
at Samokov, three or four Bulgarian
teachers; Mr.. and Mrs. Tsilka, who
had spent several years in America;
Mrs. Ooshera and Miss Stone; started
for Djumia, 12 hours travel. From
there they were to go to their diff
ferent homes.
About half-past four o'clock that
afternoon, as they were resting in
the mountains, Miss Stone and Mrs.
Tsilka being horseback and the rest
on foot, they were surrounded by
thirty or forty armed men. They were
dressed in Turkish costume, but were
either masked or blackened. They
ordered the party to march, and
drove them up the steep mountain
side. Miss Stone told the boys they
were taking them away from the road
to rob and perhaps kill them. She
did not speak of capture, as it is al
most unheard of for brigands to take
women.
After going an hours journey, the
brigands stopped and demanded their
money. They took what gold they
had, but returned the silver. When
this was over some of them said to
Miss Stone:
1--WE want you," and ordered her
and Mrs. Tsilka to go with them. She
made no remonstrance. Mr.. Tsilka
made a move to follow his wife, but
they forced him back.
a part of the brigands kept watch
on those that remained to keep them
from hurrying to inform the govern
ment, but next morning let them
go.
The brigands murdered one of the
men of the party before the eyes OF
the captives to get his horse. They
took this animal, as well as the horses
ridden by Miss Stone and Mrs. Tsilka
The students came to Samokov anC
wired Dr.. House at Salonika, Miss
Stones station. He Immediately went
to the American consul and also tele'
graphed Consul-General Dickinson
who knew Miss Stone.
The news spread over Bulgaria like
a flash, for Miss Stone was widel!

One Way of Owning a Diamond.

A young man who works In a Chest
nut street store, bought a diamond
ring some time ago. He was to pay for
1t on the installment plan, SIS a
month. He made the first payment
and the diamond was delivered to him.
At the end of the first month the col.
lector came around again. The young
man was broke. Finally he went 10
a pawnbroker, borrowed SIS on the
ring and paid the pawnbroker. In
three weeks he got the ring out BY
paying $3.50. Then in another week
the collector came around again. Once
more the ring was pawned. Then It
became a struggle for the young man
to get the ring out in time to pawn it
again, but he did. 1t has now been
four months since the diamond was
purchased. The young man is paying
double interest and the pawnbroker is
custodian Of the ring.-Philadelphla
