nRONCO BUSTER stepped to the
Is door of the saloon, holding his glass
SO he could see the colors of the sun
light through the liquor. The street
was comparatively deserted, for when
cowboys were in town it was customary
for the inhabitants to bethink them
selves of needed duties indoors. The
color Of the liquor proving satisfactory,
Bronco's hand dropped from its signifi-
cant position on his hip pocket, and his
eyes swept the street.
Hike here, you fellows!" he yelled
suddenly. "Yonder's Billy Patterpat
turnin' the corner. Let's cover the
street and corral him, an then make
him dance"
"Aw," drawled another cowboy, who
was leaning against the counter, empty
ing glasses and flinging them at who
ever he thought might mot be able to
dodge, and holding his revolver in read
mess to meet possible objection to his
playfulness. "Patterpat won't dance.
He's Joined the little party Of Mennon-
ties up country an gone plain. Amt
you heerd? Billy amt frivolous no

"We're goin' to give him drink fust," !"
significantly. There won't be. no
trouble then. You used to know Billy"
The figure at the counter Strengthened.
"Why, of course, of course" he con-
ceded; "a good drink will be lie for Pat
terpat's feet. l did use to know Billy.
The only trouble with him was that all
his brains and fun an everything was
jest in his feet, an with them gone plain
there couldn't be no Patterpat any more.

DIV vORCES IN NEW ENGLAND,
One to Every SIX Marriages in Maine
In 1OO2-The Number Ii
GrOwin9.

The National League for the Protec-
tion Of the Family has been delving
into statistics to ascertain the propor-
tion of marriages and divorces in the
several states, reports the New York
Sun.
According to the latest statistics OBJ
tainable there was one divorce to about
every six marriages in Maine, one d.
vorce to every 8.3 marriages in New
Hampshire, one to every 10 in Vermont,
one to every 16 in Massachusetts, one
to every 8.4 in Rhode Island, one to every
S.S in Ohio, one to every 76 in Indi-
ana and one to every II in Michigan.
DR.. Samuel Dixie, the leagues secre-
tary, says:
AN interesting arrangement has been
entered into by large proportion Of the
clergy of Rhode Island, which shows that
something can be done toward harmoni-
Gus action, even where there is wide
divergence of opinion. 1t is mainly in
the line of suggestions which the secre-
tary of the league has been making for
several years, and only needed efficient
and wise leadership, such as has been
shown in Rhode Island, to make it prac-
tical.
"Under the lead of Bishop Doans, of
Albany, an effort Is being made to get
the various denominations of Christians
of the country as whole to make
some agreements in regard to the action
of their ministers in marrying improp-
er persons. This is much slower work
than the formation of local plans like
that of Rhode Island.
"Some of the denominations have no
national bodies empowered to act for
Ill their churches in such matter Some
of those who have such power meet only
once in three or four years, and the di-
versity of opinion is very great"

OuARRELSOME WOMEN.
They Are Not Only DisaGreeable to
Others. But Must be Nuisance
to Themselves.

1t Is true that a Quarrelsome or BAD
tempered woman can cause more un-
pleasantness for the rest OF humanity
titan all the other disagreeable features
one finds in life. 1t is also equally true
.tat the unlucky possessor of an uncon-
t1olled temper can easily drive to ruin,
tr to other women, the man whose mis-
fortune it is to move in her orbit.
Men are very morbid beings; they are
also very selfish, and they have great
tondness for having their physical and
mental comfort undisturbed.
The average man prizes permanent
pcace and content above the gratifica-
tion of possessing beautiful attractive
creature for wife, and he knows that
bad-tempered woman and peace go
not together.
He admires spirited woman, but he
knows that a correspondingly strong
will goes along with strong character,
and he expects her to exercise it.
The assertion from woman that she
has a bad temper, and is proud of it, has
kept more than one worthy man from
asking her to share his future as his
wife.
The woman who can control herself
under the most trying circumstances is
the woman who holds the strongest pow
er over men.
No matter how beautiful, and clever,
md fascinating the badtempered woman
may be, or how large her bank account.
her power is infinitesimal compared with
that of her amiable sister. And amia-
bility is not only power, it is mental pro-
gression, and health, and happiness, and
long life to ones self and to ones friends
and family.-N. Y. Weekly.

sTeSSmen were in mood to desire
amusement, and he furnished it on the
vaudeville order.
Bede has his full share of friends in
Washington. He could not help that if
&c wished to, for he is likable fellow,
who makes friends with whoever he
meets. It is a trait characteristic of
the life he led for number of years
as rowing newspaper reporter and
printer. During those years he picked
up a large acquaintance throughout
the southern and western states in
which he has written fire and police
reports, done" local politics, and all
he various odds and ends that fall to
the lot of the general reporter in daily
Journalism.
Bede was originally a republican,
democrats and voted for Cleveland
going back to the republicans again at
he time Of Bryan's nomination in Chi
ago. It is rather cOincident that Bede
should have won fame by one speech
IN which Col. Bryan figured promi-
nently, and that Col. Bryan should
have gained fame IN a speech-"The
Cross of GOld''-which drove Bede out
of the democratic party and sent him
onto the stump for Mckinley. Such
are the strange ways of politics.
Bede is by no means a novice at
politics, though he is not proyerbial
office holder. Cleveland appointed him
United States marshal for Minnesota
in 1892, but he resigned within a year,
and remained a private citizen until
elected to congress last year He is
originally from Ohio, and was born on

quite urgent in her demands There
was nothing to tell her. but to satisfy
her one of the commission finally vol
unteered the information that they
had decided to include Jesus Lover OF
My Soul in the church hymnal. The
members of the commission believe
the young lady wrote the STORY" cor
rectly, but an enterprising city editor
either not believing the story OF much
value in that shape, or typographical
error, made it read that the commits
sion had decided not" to include the
popular hymn. The item created a
terrible stir in church circles, and
brought down upon the heads of me
innocent members of the commission
the wrath of the church in general,
and entailed a vast amount OF cor
respondence on their part.
The story fully explained the desire
of the commission to remain out OF
print, and they did so until they had
assurances that similar error
would not occur in any of the WASH
ington papers. The story cleared the
atmosphere, and afterwards the COM
mission was more cordial in it's treat
ment of the local press.

years, recalls public attention to the
curious story OF long anti-Catholic OPP
position to the placing of statue OF
a Roman Catholic priest in the capt.
toll. The fact that. in sympathy with
such opposition, a great number OF
people demanded its removal has thus
far prevented it's formal acceptance By
the nation. So pronounced was the op-
position that for long time two capt.
toll policemen were stationed as guards
for fear someone might attempt to
damage it.
All of which again brings to mind
that, notable as is this marble as a
work of art, it still is in no sense a
likeness of Father Marquette. Rather
it is an ideal portrayal of him as
missionary and discoverer from the
hand and brain of Trentanove, noted
sculptor of Florence, Italy, and OF
Milwaukee, Wis. Until the last year
or two no one knew or even supposed
they knew what Father Marquette
looked like. But short time ago

Kinley's favorite flower and was worn
on that day in memory of the lamented
president.
President Mckinley was seldom seen
in Washington without carnation in
his buttonhole. His favOrite among
the carnations was the red or carmine.
He wore one of these in preference TO
the white, as rule. and when he
wanted to show his pleasure at meet
ing some one he invariably gave car
nation, most frequently red. All
over the country to-day are women
who have in various states of preser-
walton carnations given to them Dy
The president when they called with
their husbands or others to visit him.
The president liked little girls, and it
was a pleasure to him to pin carna-
tons on their little dresses or give
them one each to take away in their
hands. No honor could have been
higher to these fortunate ladies and
misses than this. There were times
when a bevy of school girls would call
at the white house. President Nc
Kinley would see that he could not
give them all carnations, as he did not
have that many on his desk, but a
number of times some of the more
courageous girls would ask for the
flowers. These girls got what they
asked for, with charming smile in
addition.
