It might very naturally be sup
posed that, after having reposed her
whole love and trust ina man, only
to have the same ruthlessly .trampled
upon, girls faith in men in general
would be utterly destroyed, making
her an undesirable wife. 1t does not
necessarily follow, however. that be-
cause a girl has been disappointed in
one love affair that she is going to
develop into an. old maid, who never
misses an opportunity Of warning all
girls against marriage.
There are some girls, Of course, who
find it almost impossible to recover
from the bitter experience Of being
tilted. The shock and humiliation are
so great that they regard all men with
contempt and even hatred, and view
with distrust each member of the OPP
posite sex with whom they come in
contact. Such girls have very little
to recommend them for the position
of wife, for, although there Is some
justification for their mistrust of men.
It is only a narrow-minded girl who
will blame the majority for the faults
Of the few.
The wise girl recognizes that it is
better to be. Tilted before marriage than
neglected when there is no escape.
Although the experience is a bitter
one, she will look upon it as special
act of Providence that she has been
fortunate enough to discover the tickle
nature of the man she at one time
loved, before bound to him by mar
| riage ties. And she will appreciate
all the more the love Of the one she
knows to be good and true. and even
find cause to be thankful to the one
who has Tilted her, seeing that other
wise she would not have discovered
the man to make her life truly happy.
Some men might possibly hesitate
to marry a girl who had been Tilted.
on the ground that it is not possible
for her to love twice. and that the ex-
perience Of her first lovers deceit
would probably cause her at times to
harbor suspicion against her husband.
This Is a very much mistaken idea.
It Is quite possible for young woman
to love twice, more especially when
the first love has been destroyed by
fitting. And If the man she marries
shows himself to be q true husband
In every sense Of the word. with a de-
sire to make her life happy, the mere
comparison Of him with the one who
Tilted her would make nearly any wo-
man thankful that she had after all
discovered the man to make her life
happy and cause her to resolve to
make herself worthy of her husbands
love.-New Orleans Picayune.

LINcOLN's LONE WITNESS.

Only the Alleged Dead Man Testified
for Supposed Murderer.
when Mr.. Lincoln was practicing
law at Springfield, H." says Mr.. Duck
stein, who is superintendent of art al
the capitol, che brought in a man to
testify that he had never been dead,
although the lawyers and witnesses
had clearly shown that the man had
been killed by farmer in the vicinity
Of Springfield
1.-The farmer had been arraigned on
charge of having murdered a ped
der, the man having suddenly disap-
peared, leaving a portion Of his stock
in trade at a point near the home Of
the accused farmer, wnere they were
found. Soon after this, too, the body
Of an unknown man, but believed to
be the peddler's, was found in one Of
the streams. In those days peddlers
were held in higher esteem than now.
for they were almost godsend to the
housewives who wished thread, nee
dies, laces, pins and such things. This
particular peddler was well and favor
ably known in the locality, and his
disappearance was deeply regretted.
ITO ms ke long story short, it
looked like sure conviction for the
farmer, who had employed Mr. Lincoln
to defend him. The evidence showed
that the last seen of the peddler was
at the house Of the accused; that he
disappeared, and that portion of his
pack was found near the house, after
ward his body in stream. More than
year had elapsed since the peddler
disappeared.

told his client that he had evidence
which would prove him innocent.
When Mr. Lincoln was asked to pro
duce his evidence in behalf Of the de
Tense, If he had any, I have only one
Witness said Mr.. Lincoln, but think
he will be sufficient Then asking for
moments Indulgence of the court,
Mr.. Lincoln stepped out and soon re-
turned with a heavily bearded man.
The man was sworn. and said that he
had returned to Springfield few days
before; that he was the dead peddler;
that he simply took a notion to return
to his home across TIE water, and as
/ he did not owe anyone anything he
did not think It necessary to advertise
the fact that he was going to leave
America. 4 am back in time said
the much alive peddler, to save my
friend, the prisoner, who 30 cruelty
killed me, from any further trouble,
and as l have been the cause Of all
this have agreed to assist in paying
