ly the experiences and actions Of these
backwoods bellies, which are as wild
in their way as the country in which
the women live, make them a matter
of more than passing interest. Take
the case of Miss Emma Swanzer, for
instances:
Miss Swanzer lived near Springville,
and with her STEADY company"
Charles Bangs, went to Brooksdale one
recent night to attend the wedding of
mutual friends. During the evening
Miss Emma became jealous of Bangs
attentions to another girl and refused
TO speak to him. When they started
home they both felt relieved when
Rev. Mr.. Hunter, the village preacher,
joined them.
In field adjoining the road was a
Texas steer, a recent acquisition to the
place, and no lover of the human race.
The party had to go through the field
in which the steer was and he pursued
them. Bangs gave a cry of alarm, and
ran for some trees a few feet ahead,
closely followed by Miss Swanzer and
the preacher. Bangs Skinned up one,
and Miss Swanzer proved her agility
by climbing another, assisted by the
preacher, who gave her lift before
he sought safety in still another tree.
The Infatuated animal ran around and
around the trees. A half-hour passed
and the steer still stood guard.
Thinking this an excellent time to
reconcile the couple, the minister be-
gan. The work was done, however,
almost before he had begun. The cou-
pie desired to be married at once.
The could just join hands from where
they chung, but they got a grip and
held while Rev. Mr.. Hunter performed
the marriage ceremony from his place
in the third tree. The Texas steer
beloved the wedding march.
When the good man had concluded,
Farmer Stone and his two sons hap
pened along and the steer was driven
away. The bride, bridegroom and min
lister we're transferred to a wagon and
taken to the brides home, where there
was an evening of rejoicing and gen.
eral merry-making.
At Ararat two aged sisters have

it in her mouth, turn about and disap-
pear. She repeated this performance,
and the witnesses reported to a po-
iceman on the corner that { diamond
burglary was being perpetrated.
The policeman looked into the win
dow and when he saw the ca trot away
with another diamond ring he was on
the verge of calling for the patrol
wagon and taking tabby to the sta
ton under arrest.
He notified the proprietor of the
store, who came down and made an
investigation and found that in the
little nest that tabby had arranged
for her kittens under one of the coun-
tiers were six or seven rings, pendants
and brooches, all containing fine dia-
mond settings. And now, in the words
of the policeman who caught the cat:

Their dresses seemed to be made of old
meal sacks.
The other day the women applied to
the poor authorities for help. The
poormaster, before granting aid, de-
cided to call and see what their circum-
stances were. They found the room
piled full of boxes, and proceeded to
investigate. The boxes were found to
contain silverware, silks, satins,
shawls, bolts of calico and sheeting,
boots, shoes, crockery, sacks of sugar
and salt, etc. Under the stove was
found wallet containing $3.50 and the
lining of an old dress yielded $3.50.
The entire find is valued at 5000.
The Widow Hammond, who lives

black bear the other night. Mrs. Ham
mond was awakened by the shrieking
of her porker. Lighting a lantern,
Mrs. Hammond seized Ratchet and
hurried to the barn, where she found a
bear trying to carry away the hog.
The widow at once attacked the bear
and struck him several times with the
Ratchet, but it seemed only to in
furiete the brute, which, with a blow
with one of its paws, felled the widow
to the ground.
Mrs. Hammond gotup and rushed to
the house, secured rifle and returned
to the barn. The bear had lifted the
hog out of the pen, when the widow
raised her gun and sent bullet into
its brain. The bear fell over dead.
The report of the gun aroused the
neighbors, and, when they arrived
upon the scene the widow was in a
dead faint in the barn. The bear
weighed 272 pounds.

OPPOSESPHILIPPINEBILL
Wellington Attacked Administra-
TONS Attitude Toward Islands.
"UNcLEsAM RUTcHERwEYLERu"

The Maryland Senator Also Declared
That Cuba Is Farther From Free
dom Than When Under Spanish
Rule-Vote On Bill Next Monday.
Washington, Feb. 19.-It was agreed
by the senate yesterday that a final
vote on the Philippine tariff bill and
The pending amendments should be
taken next Monday afternoon at
O'Clock. The only stipulation made by
the minority was that the last days
debate should be devoted to speeches
not exceeding Is minutes in duration.
Mr.. Wellington (Rep), of Mary
land, took the floor to discuss the
Philippine tariff bill, and at once
launched into an attack upon the ad-
ministration's attitude toward Cuba
and the Philippines. He said he had
always been a Republican, but when
his party began a policy OF imperial
ism, to which he was opposed, he
could not bow to the fetish of party.
From that moment his opposition be-
gan. In denouncing the concentra-
ton camps in the Philippines, Mr..
Wellington declared that the United
States today found itself In the same
position as Spain occupied in reference
to Cuba, when this country declared
war against the barbarities of Wey-
Ter.
How was this method seized
upon?" he shouted. cit is a method
that brought down the condemnation
OF civilization then as It does now. Is
Uncle Sam to be known as Butcher
Weyler IL? Why is Cuba not free ac-
cording to our promises? Because
there is desire to rob the island un-
der cloak of military rule. The
island is further from independence
than when under Spanish rule"
He declared that when his vote was
sought by President Mckinley upon
the treaty OF Paris he was promised,
In response to his firm demand, that
there would be no permanent occupa-
ton by the United States OF the Phil
tppines. WAS that promise kept"
the senator asked. mo. not In any
particular. All nations except Amer
lea and Great Britain are at peace.
Were our skirts clear, were our hands
clean from the blood of the Filipinos.
we would long ago have publicly SYM
p2tSized with the noblest people that
ever waged a war. The only reason
we take no such action is knowledge
that If we did, Great Britain would
hurl back the taunt that we were en-
gagged in the same kind of g contest.
and for the same purpose"
Referring to the Philippine tariff
bin, Mr.. Wellington declared his oppo-
sition to 1t on "the broad ground Of
the minority" that there was no right
here to enact such legislation. Re
ferring TO the decision OF the supreme
court holding that the Philippine
archipelago was a territory OF the
United States, he said that it was an
aggregation of the opinions of Jack
Bunsby.
