Andrew Lang: HE struck me as be-
ing rather superciliously respondent;
perhaps he feels that he has not done
Justice to himself; also deep down in
him is evidently the belief that man
kind is divided into two categories-
those who have been to Oxford and
those who have not. He is very hand

eyes and snowy hair. Mr.. Lang looks
languidly sorry for ~nine-teaths Of tbs

Shot at Her Wooer.

Cullman, ALA sensation was
created by Mrs. C. E. Taylor shoot
ing at a young man named Wesley
Glenn, who had made repeated pro-
posals of marriage to her. Mrs. Tay-
lor is a widow and Glenn had board
ed with her for a few weeks. He had
made several proposals of marriage
to her, so it is said, and she had flat
ly refused all of them. Yesterday he
became very persistent and was or
dered out of the house. He made
some insulting remark, and she
promptly drew a pistol and fired at
him. The shot went wild and as she
attempted to shoot again he made his
escape. Glenn is a special agent, and
is well known in the west end of the
