Mr. BrowulOw lives mt Jonesboro, and

II Skillful printer and presSman. but a
bright writer and good all-around news

was short-liycd. Whittaker's ruling pas
sion soon asserted itself. and a prolonged
spree eusued which threatened to tcrmi-
nate the contract at once. but Il modus
ylVeudi was finally agreed upon. and
things went along pretty we'll for some
time until one day Whitaker. hearing
that his wife was about 10 sue for di-
vorCe, went on another spree and died
from an overdose of morphine. Mr.
Brownlow saw that the unfortunate man
was decently buried and regarded the in

Whipple blankly.
'Neat-balls.' replied mother in her

STERLING pinched himself under the

had TO yell when Whipple, after pursuing
one of the little hard balls around and
around the platter with a spoon, finally

Women Like Fiction.

Women are much more foud Of read
ing fiction than are men. Possibly Il
woman nature Graves more for the TO-
mantle element in life, and, not finding
1t i'll reality, they seek it between book
covers. \ writer in Harper's Weekly
saws that if Mr.. Carnegie should be
able to keep out of libraries, as he sug-
gested. all fiction under three years old,
il might safely be said that the women
would be against him-which means that
the thing could not be done. Women
like new fiction; they want the book
that is Just out" If it is historical
novel. they feel that they are gathering
information, Heaven bless them. If it
is a romance, pure and simple, they for
get over its pages the domestic trials
OF the morning or the afternoon. 1t does
them no more harm than has been done
for countless generations. For women
are nOurished upon fiction from the days
Of their birth. Our girls are reared in
an atmosphere rarefed and cleared from
all impurities. The world is shown them
through a rose-tinctured glass. Fiction
