THE SPANISH GIRL.

She Has None of the Freedom Amori.
can Girls Enjoy.
The Spanish girl has none of the free
and happy times our girls enjoy after
emancipation from the drudgery of the
school room and before the cares of
womanhood begin, says a Madrid cor
respondent. All Spanish girls are con-
vent bred and their education consists
very largely in learning to embroider'
which is an art in which they excel.
At IA or 10, or even sometimes at IL
years old, they make their debut In so
ciety and are considered marriageable.
Girls of IA and boys of 16 frequently
marry, but divorce Is unknown in
Spain. II q husband and wife cannot
agree they separate and live apart.
The new woman as we know her
Is unknown in Spain. and though the
ladies' of that country are often grace
full and clever horsewomen, the bicycle
is only Just beginning to make its
way among them. Not only is there
among gentlewomen prejudice
against cycling, as not being grace
full accomplishment, but their natural
Incidence makes them prefer to be
carried on horseback to having to ex-
ert their muscles to propel "plKe.
AS rule Spanish girls take con-
siderable interest in dress. and though
they have a great love Of bright COL
ors they contrive to wear them SO
they are becoming. Spanish women
have greater need of care in the mat
ter of dress than have English women
for they fade SO much sooner. Ihey

count CT their earlier marriages, at 40

A BOLD SWINDLE.
A Sentinel Reporter on Train
When a Boston Boy was
Relieved of 500.

Aboard Midland train, 90 minutes out,
Sunday night. - A very bold swindle was
perpetrated on this train tonight in
Grand Junction. AS result, Thomas
Mckinney, aged 90, returning to Boston
from a trip in the west, is $50 out Of
pocket.
1t occurred in this wise: Mckinney
boarded the Midland coach, followed by
a well-dressed old gentleman, whom he
had talked with casually on the depot
platform. When the two were comfort
ably seated, ths old gent explained to
the inexperienced youth that he was q
Portland banker; that he had all his
money in his trunk which he wished to
take out OF the baggage room and have
put onto the Midland train. In order
to take it out, he said it would be neces
sary for him to have little cash.
Would the "boy away from home" please
let him take his wad until he should get
his baggage. He (the old gent would
return in just moment with the money
from his trunk. Oh! did the young man
doubt his trustw rthinessY Well, then,
to show that he meant we'll, he would
give as security a 500 check on a Port
land bank.
The young man blushed at the shadow
OF incredibility, which he had moment
before shown, and, to make up for this
past discourtesy. he hastened to fairly
pour into the old gents hands nearly his
alland all of dough In return he got
the aforementioned check The old
gent disappears. Presently the train
starts. but the old gent does not return.
The strayed youth becomes alarmed
His foolhardiness dawps upon him with
rush. Upon examination the check is
found to be worthless, and the young
man is 800 loser.
Messages have been sent back to Grand
Junction notifying the authorities Of the
affair." and asking them to look for the
map. The bunco man WAS v oil dressed
in black suit and ovefcoat; has gray
mustache and wore small black fedora
hat. He presented very good appear
ance. A. W. N.
