Most Fascinating at 4o.

An English writer declares that not un- til woman reaches the age of 40 does she reach the maximum of her power over susceptible members of the other sex. Her face" says the writer referred to, may have lines that sweet and 2O' regards with dismay her figure may be fuller than sweet IT deems graceful; 1t may even be that art has to step in where nature fails in the matter of hair and complexion. but it is manner which tells. In carriage, in interest, in thought the woman of 40 at the present day is as young as her daughter less than half her years, but her mind is better balanced, her Judgments are clearer"

SELMA.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, sept H.
 Rosh Hashonah was strictly observed among the Israelites, and many Of the leading stores, which are conducted by Jewish merchants, were kept closed all day until clock in the afternoon. This together with the news of the death of President Mckinley, the first authentic report of which was brought here by The Advertiser, seems to have cast pail over tine entire city, and everything is as quiet on the streets as cemetery. On the streets a few persons hurriedly dis cussed the tragedy which ended the life of the nations chief magistrate, but on the whole there was little excitement among Selmians over the announcement of MT. MoKinley's death.
 The national colors tipped with crepe. are fiuttering from many flag staffs all over the city, and faces tell of the sorrow felt among Selma's loyal citizens. Mayor Mcleod, acting in accord with resolu- ton passed at a mass meeting of citi- zens held Friday, September S. upon re- ceipt of the news that the President had been shot, has called together the com mittee appointed at that time for the pur-' pose of arranging suitable memorial service during the hour of the interment to be participated in by everybody. The committee has not yet announced when this service will be held.

a DOC LOVING pucHrss.

The young Duchess of Newcastle is a
keen sportswoman. and once when with
her husband in the Rocky mountains
she saved his life by shooting a bear
which was slowly sitting him. The
duchess. who is the daughter Of the
popular officer long known in English
military circles as Major Sugar can
dy, spent a considerable part of her
girlhood in America. Her engagement
to the Duke of Newcastle was quite a
romantic affair. For ten years he had
been one of the greatest matrimonial
parts. and he first met and fell in love
with his future wife when she was still
in the schoolroom and married her
when she was only seventeen. Al
though the mistress of a c1 -rming Lon
don house. the duchess much prefers a
country life and is never happier than
when at Clumber. which is one of the
most beautiful and stately of English
homes At Clumber the duchess in
dulges TO the fun her love Of dogs and
horses, and under her care the inhab-
itants of the kennels have become IA
nous all over the world.

berated had a spark Of i'll win toward
her On the contrary. they seemed 10
respect her the more for her caustic
tongue. They knew how shrewd and
how really kind she was at heart and
that if one of them seriously needed
helpful advice she could and would
give It to him. There seemed, in truth,
something almost beyond human in
her knowledge of affairs and her bust
ness foresight suggesting the wise
woman" OF old Scotch tradition. Her
advice was so priced by business men
that they came from many parts to
consult her concerning their affairs.
Her suggestions We're without exception
explicit, sound and farseeing, and men
followed her words, to their profit. She
helped them over difficulty. It seemed
indeed as if human passion and selfish
ness in her had died out. leaving an I'M
clouded brain, a sense of justice and the
intuitive knowledge of the soul.
When she was ninety-four years old,
Aunt Lefty went in a railway train
considerable distance to be a witness in
an important lawsuit Her testimony
was clear as the sunlight and so CON
vincing that it decided the case. When
Aunt Lefty prepared for this journey.
she dressed herself in her best black
silk gown and wore a beautiful India
shawl OF these shawls she had sew
eral. One Womanly weakness in her
was a love for good clothes, which was
a credit to her This she retained till
the last She had also a fondness for
certain short black pipe, which she
learned to smoke after she was seventy,
to steady her nerves.
The occasion of her journey to the
was a remarkable one, and
spectators gathered from all parts to
see her. Waiting in the anteroom, she
became nervous and i'll at ease, as was
apparent. Her nephew said to those
present.:
Just step out of the room. will you?
Aunt Lefty wants to smoke, I know,
and she's ashamed to do it before
folks
They withdrew at once. Aunt Lefty
whipped out of her silk dress pocket
the weird little old black pipe, drew
a few whiffs and was righted up for the
rest of the day What then? Are not
women, old and new, today becoming
tobacco smokers2 More's the pityi
A shade of girlish jealousy Aunt Let
ty displayed once or twice, too, when
she was well on in the nineties A
friend brought woman relative of the
old dame a pretty lace scarf The rela-
tive was full twenty years younger
than she, yet Aunt Lefty somehow
thought that lace scarf should have
been given to herself.
why did you give that lace to Auntie
Paget % she asked. "Auntie Paget is too
old to wear such things
When at length she did consent to
put off mortality, this last century new
woman had a funeral which win be IA
nous in those parts for many a year.
And more men than women attended it.
