HIS EVAsIvE PROMISE.
In Renouncing Whisky Bridegroom
Did Not Include All
Intoxicants.

The bride exacted but one promise
from her husband when they were
married. This was that he should not
drink whisky. 1t is needless to state,
relates the Baltimore News. that
when she made him promise this she
thought she had made him teeto-
taller. Whisky, to her mind, covered
the whole field
One night. shortly after the honey
moon was over, when the bridegroom
came home and kissed his new wife
his breath was Enthusiastically redOlent
of something alcoholic.
You've been drinking" replied the
little lady, aghast.
Only a gin rickey," replied the
bridegroom, but watching anXiously
the effects of this announcement
OH" said the bride. relieved, II
thought it was something that might
make you drunk"
Ii was two or three days later that
the bride burst in upon the groom
with fire in her eye "You have de-
ceived me-" she gasped. You prom
ised me you would not drink whisky.
and then after all you went and
drank a gin rickey. and Mrs Brown
tells me they are the same thing, and
I shall never trust you again"
Then the bridegroom began 10 ex-
plain, but he has not yet succeeded
in convincing his unworldly spouse
that in renouncing whisky he did
not renounce the whole family OF in
ebriating drinks, and he's very care
full now about his cloves.

away himself-and two days after
ward he had a painful swelling in his
arm, which lasted fortnight.

Our community was shocked TO
learn last Thursday morning that Mr..
John M. Henshaw had quietly passed
away the evening before. He was in
his usual health and had retired to
his room for his usual siesta and
when he was called for the evening
meal no response was made, upon
going to his room he was found
reclining ON his bed in n most
natural way. looking peaceful and
restfull. but death had come and in
its most gentle manner escorted him
to realms above, Mr. Henshaw was
one Of our oldest and most respected
citizens and for many years identified
with the interests of our City. Parish
and State. His marriage to Miss
Chouteau of st. Louis, some years
ago. gave him most loving and es-
Unable partner. who bore him three
sons, Charles, Nevil and Harold, all
of whom are now grown and become
active citizens in onr community.

PEARSON VS. HINDMAN
F. w. Pearson Replies to Uncle John Hjndman About Those
 Fallen Women.
To The Newark Journal:

To The Newark Journal:
 After an absence of several weeks, 1 come again upon the public arena of the circulation of the faithful old Journal We'll. my first task will be to attend to my Uncle John. As We have been having so nice a time 1 exceeding ly regret his exit, and it Is such a surprise, his retiring comes so soon after his expressing a hope of keeping this matter before the public. This course of his reminds me of one of my horses. He will start out on a good road like he would pull ton or two, but just as soon as 1 get to Il difficult road. where it requires good, earnest, hard pulling, he fiickers, and the more 1 want him to pull, the more he won't pull. So we will just say that Uncle John has baked. However, 1 will apply a portion of this letter to his desultory arti- cle under the captain of Those Fallen Women. , 1 am we'll aware of the fact that the intelligent readers of The Journal know that interrogatlons, criticism, nor jest ing, Is argument But that is us ualIy the course of writers when they are forced to the defense, and in this article the climax Is reach ed and the sponge Is thrown up.
 He says 1 referred to his nor als. 1 am totally unaware of re. ferring to his personalities in any way, save as he gave me oppor tunity to do so, by his referring to himself. l presume 1t must have been the application l made of his gallon of alcohol that offend ed him; and if that made him blush, l am very sorry. But he had made that an element in oul discussion of the proposition, con- sequently 1t was my prerogative to use 1t. am positively sure l have never referred to him in any way except as he gave me oppor- tunity by his own advances.
 He charges me with assuming an inspiration of Divine things, but this is an emphatic evasion of the issue. 1 have never placed my own personality or that of any member of my family in this dis cussion. 1 have never in any way intimated that l cared to compare morals with Uncle John or any one else. 1 did not make the state ment that God was on my side, but 1 did say that a great number of people had found IS safer to he on
