SOCIETY AT MARKET,

It is recognized fact that the Ralti. more society woman goes to market as regularly as she attends church. and II, many instances her face is much more familiar where the good things TOT the inner man are. to he found than rii is at the place of worship. Al though she may have an excellent housekeepcr and n retinue of servants, yet miIady prefers to personally select the meats and vegetables for the fam, fly table.
 .'. On Tuesday and Friday mornings of each week Lexington market is the Mecca for many women who are mem. pcrs of the Monumental city's wealth. lest and most aristOcratic families and q long line of carriages such as might De found where q reception was in progress is strung out along Lexington and Eutaw streets.
 As carly as 10 o'clock the woman who the night before has been the Hostess of some brilliant function allghts from her carriage. usually at The Eutaw street end of the market. sometimes accompanicd by her butler. but more frequently she enters the market place alone. Going from one stall 10 another. testing the youth of the poultry. the tenderness of the beef the firmaess of the tomato and the freshness of the fruit. she brushes shoulders with the wife of the pooreS, E:bOrer. for this is q market patron- ized by all glasses.

1.-THE LIBERTY BELLIES"

One of the delightful features of "The Liberty Belles." which will be seen at Polls Saturday afternoon and evening, is that the entire perform ance is as clean as new paint. as fra
 grant as new mown hay. The New York World remarked that purity is the keynote of success of "The Lib erty Bellcs.' It begins with frolic and ertls with a frolic. It is an en- tertanment blending the grotesQuer- ies of farce, the specialties of vaude- vile and the beautiful melodies of op- era. The production is one of the bi: hits in musical comedy. In addition to all the original features of the play. Mir Berger. the manager, has re- gently. secured the rights for the Ra- dium ballet. which will be done by the same number of dances as are seen in this wonderful novelty in New York.

DROPPED INTO THE SNOW.
More Things Lost in the Streets i
 Winter Than in Summer.

'Thcre are always more things lost in the streets in winter than in sum- mer." said an observing policeman. and the winter days on which the greatest number of things are lost are those on which it is showing and when there is lying on the ground fresh. un. trodden. light snow to the depth of three inches or more.
 Peoples fingers get cold and numb. and they drop more things in winter, for one thing. and then. for another, if they Eappen to drop them in freshly fallen, soft snow of some depth, the things are more difficult to find.
 ''I don't know how many people I've seen in my time poking around for things in the snow. X woman shop ping oh snowy day steps down from the curb into the street in hurry to catch a ear. and the little jolt makes Ter let go of something or drop her purse, and then if she's lost anything cf value she stops and looks for it. poking around for it in the snow may he with her umbrella. But usually hooking for things in the snow is pretty hopeless sort of task. and the woman ends by giving up the hunt.
 ''Shc could have seen the thing on tire ground or oil packed, hard snow. but it Is hard to find in new. soft snow. And So tell you that more things are lest In the streets in winter than in summer. and more on snowy days than on any other days of the year"

The difference in population between the eighteen states thus chosen as rep. resentative of the two sections explains part of the overwhelming preponder- arce of homicides in the south. but it does not explain all. In Oregon one person out of every 60.OOO was a vic time of the assassin, while Tennessee the ratio was one out of every 1000.
 It is interesting to consider the law lessness in the territories which are aspiring to statehood. The showing is not favorable to the claim that peace. able and settled conditions prevail there. In New Mexico and Arizona. in lWO, there were twenty-twO homi- cides. while the population was 31S.- 241. an average of one homicide to each 10000 population. ratio greater than tliat of the most lawless of the south ern states. No report has been made to the census bureau from Oklahoma Territory. but Indian Territory in 1900 sacrificed thirty-two lives. The popu- lation being 392.OGD the average is one homicide to each 12,0OU
 When Iowa considers Illinois it has reason. not so much to be proud of its record as not to be ashamed. There were more murders in Chicago with its 2.0OO.OOO population than there were in India with its 3O0,OOO.OO0. Chicago leads all American cities: Chicago. 104: New York. 12: St Louis, 70: Phila- delphia. 13: Boston, 12.
 It would be interesting to know for how many of these hOmicides blood atonement was demanded. The report shows that the states that have been piore lax in punishing murders have the most murders to their diseredit.- Des Moines Register and Leader.

A Marvellous Dog.

In a big apartment house in New York lives a collie. who has we'll earned his name of Marvel. He dwells with his mistress on the sev- enth floor, and would get very little exercise were he less clever. Marvers mistress trusts him to go out alone. and this is how he goes about it. Does ke tramp down seven flights of stairs. No. indeed. Marvel walks to the elevator. stands upon his hind feet. aBd with his front paws presses the button" which summons the elevator to his fioor. In saunters Marvel. When te has been out long enough. he again rings for the elevator. and reaching his own apartments rings the door bell
 Marvers conduct suggests a conun- drum. Why is Marvel like the rider to Bsnbury Cross? Because he has rings oa his toes.-Washington Star.

KISS ONLY IN PARlOR
 WITH A LOW LIGHT.
Philadelphia Judge Declares Safe os- culation Is That After Which
 No Tales Are Told.

Philadelphia.-Judge McMichael, in 2 charge to jury the other day, in case involving a stolen kiss, said:
 There has been much rubbish writ ten by poets and others on kissing. Cyrano de Bergerac was a notable ex- ample of poet who rayed over the mere pressing of the lips by two infatuated persons. The only kind of kissing per- missible under the law is the kind that occurs in the parlor when the lights are turned low.
 Kissing is dangerous and should be avoided. The cause of the Trojan war is generally attributed to woman and . mans desire for kisses.
 The only safe kiss that can be given Is the one after which no tales are told.
 "A stolen kiss is no different from any other stolen article. No restitution can be made. and it is therefore more srievous.'

ORIGIN OF THE MTFF.

When the muff first came to us from France in the days of Charles TX. no lady could have worn a seaIskin nun. for black was decreed by the king 10 bc the badge of the common people. and the court followers were restricted tc the colors. Muffs have gone through more styles than it would seem possi- ble to. invent for such simple article Of convenience. They nave been long snd narrow. and again large and round- one of the most curious styles was that of Louis NIN. called tIe "chiens msnchoBs." because they were made to convey little dogs in.
 The nun when first introduced was the exclusive property cf the mobility. These muffs were very small and con sisted of single pie-r of velvet. bro cade or silk lined with fur. anl the openings fastened with rich jewels euch arrangements came in during the early part of the seventeenth century.
 We now ss~criate the nun only with coId weather. but in the old days it was regular part of woman-s dress snd was carried at all fimcS--LoB,Ien Chronicle

REIGN OF LAWLESSNESs.
Some Astonishing Revelations Made ir


 Among the forty-five states and ter .ritories from which the census bureau has received reports of the number of homicides for the year 1900. Iowa ranks twenty-fourth, with total of twenty-three. When we consider some of our neighbors this showing is better than appears on the face.&~ Tn the same year Ill homicides were committed in Missouri, while Illinois led the Union with 152, surpassing New York by fif- ty-one, although the population of H. linois is almost 100000 less than that of New York. Minnesota, with popu- lation of 5O0,0OO less than Iowa. report ed twenty-two homicides, while Ne braska, with a population of less than half that of Iowa. reported nineteen. The average for the states and terri tories computed is twenty-three, So that Iowa is neither better nor worse than the average.
 In Iowa. in 1900 one person out of every 100000 was murdered. In Col Crado the ratioswas one person out of every 27,00O, while in Georgia it was one person out'of every 20.O0O. The farther south ave go the larger the number and the greater the ratio. Much has been heard in past years of the wild and woody vest yet the census statistics show murder to be many times more prevalent in the south than in the west. Taking nine representative southern states and an equal number of typical western states, the south suffers seriously by compari- son.

RACETRACK SHARP
,sHow Dave Smith and His Horses
 Ts Worked Kansas Sports. V


 A decrepit old man living on the outskirts of Salina in q rckety old wagon and living on the bounty of generous citizens recalls to Judge Dan Wagstaff time when this old man was q noted racehOrse sharper. His name is Dave Smith. Many years ago :. he possessed d running horse known as Buckshot. which could beat any thing in Kansas ill quarter dash.
 His game was to drift into town with Buckshot hitched to tumble down wagon. Then he would sift around among the horsemen and, af- ter drink or two. would gently inti- mate that he had q "hoss'' which could go some. His innocent country way never failed to impress the sports with the idea that they had caught a sucker. And it was an impression which was not removed until day or two later when Smith departed with all the loose cash in town.
 One time many years ago Smith poked into Atchison with his ram shackly outfit. In some manner the sports got wind of the fact that the old mans horse was the famous Buck shot. They thought they saw way to dc the old man up for all his DOS. sessions, inasmuch as he always em- ployed a local rider to ride his racer. They succeeded only too easy. The old man accepted the rider who of Tered his services without the slight est hesitation. Furthermore. lrc bet the Atchison sports to a standstill. putting up money On Buckshot until no more was to be had.
 The horses were called to the post. They were to go from are st,p,liuc start. or Il ''lrald start" as the fellows used to call it. The old man amblel out to the track with Buckshot rider up, and took his station ready for the Gord. "go." And just as the woM was given he jcrked n snap loos. and the bit dropped from. Buckshot's mouth. leaving the rider with nothing to pull on. Then he fetched Buck shot clip with a quirt, and the old horse went down the track like q greased streak of lightning and loped nome an easy winner.

 The milk from the cocoanuts was all they had to drink during the II days 1t took to reach Papeete. The passage was enlivened by a constant combat with the sharks. In verification of their story oars were shown splintered and worn repelling the attacks of the ferocious fish, which gave them no rest. The Victor was trader among the Friend ly and Society islands.
