COWARD ADAM.
The Pronene.s of Man to Lay the
Blame Upon Woman.


"Never kiss and tell is, believe,
an "unwritten law of chivalry.' This
law, so understand, Coward Adam
does sometimes manage to obey, albeit
reluctantly. Because he would like to
tell--he would very much like to tell
if--if the story Of the kiss did not In
volve himself in the telling! But at
this juncture "the unwritten laws OF
chivalry" step in. and he is saved. And
chivalry is the tree up which he climbs,
:hattering to himself the usual formu-
la, .The woman whom thou gavest to
be with me-" etc. Alas, poor woman!
She has heard him saying this ever
since she in an unselfish desire to share
her food with him gave him the for
hidden apple. No doubt she offered
him it's roslest ana ripest side! She al
ways does-at first. Not afterward!
AS soon as he turns traitor and runs
up tree she takes to pelting him,
metaphcrically speaking, with cocoa
nuts. This is quite natural on her part.
She had thought him a man-and when
he suddenly changes into monkey she
doesn't understand it. To this cause
may possibly be attributed some Of the
ructions which occasionally jar the
harmonious estate of matrimony.-

How Fumes Of Alcohol and Poisons
May EndanRer Health.


Rurton-on-Trent, the center of the
English brewing industries, has the pc
culiar faculty Of mildly Intoxicating
the stranger within its gates. The res
ident has become accustomed to the
mildly alcoholic fumes which arise
from the innumerable brewing watts,
but the susceptible stranger finds ex-
hilaration and finally a mild form Of
intoxication in the atmosphere-an ef-
feet which does not wear OF for sew
eral hours after his arrival. On every
hand the big brewing houses are
throwing Off fumes from the vats Of
matted liquors, and, while these are Inn
perceptible to the resident, more than
thousand authentic instances are
said to have been recorded Of persons
to whom the air has proved to possess
properties that both cheer and inebri-
ate.
Just as in certain parts Of the west
the arsenious fumes from the smelterS
destroy vegetation and imperil health,
the vapors of the English brewing cap
ital destroy the sobriety Of the abstain
er and fill his head with vagrant fan

actuated by desire to see for them
selves the great industry which they
are doing their modest best to suppress
and as they are the most sensitive to
the atmosphere of the town, those who
gain their living from the brew houses
t,lke great delight in observing these

A LEE COUNTY DISTINCTION
TKeosauuua Republican,


Last week George W. Day, OF heo-
sauqua. was down in Lee county pus-
ing wool and he informs us that ne
purchased of farmer not far from
Sand Prairie his wool shearings eA-
tending back for fourteen con
secutive years. We understand this
farmer is little peculiar in his ways.
He, with his wife and children, stay
very close to their home, rarely go TO
town, and as they do not take any
newspaper naturally know but httle OF
the worlds doings. The fourteen
years clippings Mr.. Day purchased
amounted to about 5000 pounds. Mr..
Day showed us specimen of the old
est clip. 1t was quite rusty but is
not materially injured by storage, ana
will bring close to the prevailing mar
ket price. Lee county has in this IN
cident distinction that can hardly be
duplicated by any other county IN
the state.
