OLD BEAUX ARE DELIGHTED,
One woman Who Has Not RELOCATED
Their Virtues to the Musty
Carrot.

AS rule when woman gets mar

membrance all thoughts of those who
once paid court to her. Yet she can

true to the man who finally won her,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
Il love my old beaux," said the wo-
man who is bound to be cheerful.
They comfort me and make me for
get unpleasantnesses. An old beau is
very nice if he's at all presentabIe.
My husband says hateful things to the
effect that Pm ruinously extravagant
always wanting things, and he inti-
mates that only an angel of his magni-
tude could manage to get along with
me at all. Not so my old beaux. They
say he's the luckiest of men and init
mate that they would have been bet

to them. Even the married ones aren't
so bad. When their wives sue for di-
vorce or their babies get the measles
they look volumes which seem to saw
that all would have been olmerent had
not an undeserving one borne off the
prize. These unsolicited testimonials
are as stimulating to me as old wine.
1t isn't the slightest use to repeat
them to my husband, however. He
simply reminds me that women are so
easy that they're tiresome and that
those 'nincompoops' don't have to pay

Not Georges Hatchet.

Carpenters who were repairing the
Mary Washington house, opposite
Fredericksburg, recently found in the
ceiling a small Ratchet of peculiar
shape. They began to talk of the
cherry tree and the small boy who
could not tell lie, and an old negro
woman was found who remembered
seeing George hide the Ratchet after
it's famous achievement. But-and so
the romance disappears from life
Washington was grown man before
his mother bought the house. And
the cherry tree Ratchet is still I'M
found, although it is not unhonored
or unsung.

BrIeI Description of an Ante-B ell um
Festival in Virginia by
a Preacher.

A Virginia preacher who had the
good fortune to be born in the good
old days writes to local paper of
the old-time wedding. He describes
an old-fashioned wedding supper in
this fashion, says the Nashville
American.
"Let me tell you about it-that
supper when Miss Nancy got mar
ried! The table was about rs feet
long; it stood in the hall of the
big house, which was about 40 by
so feet. About the center of that
table, in a large game dish, was a
pig, cooked whole, with an apple in
his mouth. Near each end of the
table was a large turkey. Midway
between the pig and the turkey were
two large pound cakes, gaudily en-
bossed with name Nancy on one of
them and Eli on the other. Near
the center and near each end of the
table were stacks of butter Is inches
high, curled and frizzled in the most
approved style. There were smaller
cakes, fruits and CONNECTIONS in abun-
dance. We did not know about boiled
custard in our settlement and over
on a side table was about three gal
Ions of syllabub. They said that it
would keep the cake from making
us sick. Perhaps it did; at least
do not remember that any of us were
aiek when Miss Nancy got marriesA"

Cincinnati, Nov. 1.-THE second
trial of Daniel VOORHEES, Miller, of
Terre Haute, formerly assistant att
torney in the post Office department at
Washington, and his friend, Joseph M.
Johns, an attorney at Rockville, Ind.
began Monday before United States Dis
5trict Judge Albert G. Thompson. They
are charged with conspiracy to extort a
5bribe from John j. Ryan, a turf COM
missioner with offices at Cincinnati and
st. Louis, for such decisions as would
allow Ryan to use the mails in receiving
money for betting on races" At their
first trial here last month the jury dis
agreed. Witnesses are here from
Washington, D. c., for the government
and many from Indiana for the defense
The same attorneys appear on both
sides as at the first trial, and in addi-
/ tion Henry Spaan, of Indianapolis, ap-
peared for Miller.
Darley stated that the government
expected to prove that Johns was the
middle man between Miller and Ryan.
Baker stated that Johns was the at
torney for Ryan without any connec-
tion with Miller and received no more
than his fees. 5
HiramSD. Rulison stated that Miller
knew nothing of Johns contract with
Ryan and never received any of the

THE RURAL NAIL sYsTE4.

THE RURAL NAIL SYSTEM.
The rural mail routes have now been
n operation long enough to enable one
to form some sort Of an opinion as to
their effect upon the farmers as
whole. The community in which we
live was given five rural mail routes
and seven farm telephone lines at the
same time. Thape twin modern i'm
provements are. .revolutionizing farm
life. The business of the farm is more
easily and expeditiously transacted,
much valuable time is saved. the daily
paper puts the farmer in touch with
what is going on in the world and is
widening his views of things and lift
ing him up on to a higher plane Of iiv-
ing. He is given better knowledge
of the markets and sells his produce to
better advantage, the isolation of farm
life is in large measure removed and
the man and his folks are in intimate
touch with their fellows. The farm has
been given name and neatly printed
sta ationery advertises the homestead,
the owner and the specialties in stock
or crops which it produces. The fam.
lily is becoming more and more content
ed with farm life and is beginning to
appreciate the many advantages which
its. rural home and environment pos
1ess. The farm home from which so
many Of the young people fled In the
past years as soon as they could has
been thus changed and made attractive,
while the old folks, instead OF moving
t0atown to live, are becoming content
toend their days on the old farm where
they have lived and worked, SO long.

DraDs ON THE GROUND.

How many, Of the boys and girls who
read these notes from week to week
ever noticed the difference in the gait
OF birds when they move about on the
ground? Nearly every kind of bird
has gait peculiar to It alone. Just
watch 1t and see. The crow has a
stately walk, the sparrow moves as
though hopping on one leg, the kildeer
makes a fast run and an abrupt stop,
the robin takes six or seven short

the crow family, walks deliberately

grouse, crane and other birds of their
kind; the humming bird flies never
saw one move any other way. Boys.
