HIGH LIFE SCANDAL
TOWN OF BlNGVILLE STIRRED TO
ITS DEPTHS.
Deacon Butterworth Felt 20 Be the
Victim of Unfortunate Circum-
stances, but His Wife Has by no
Means Been Convinced.

There was a terrible scandal hap
pened in Bingville last Saturday night,
the news of which flew all over town
like wildfire and since then our resi-
dents amt got nothing done but talk
about it with bated breath. School
was closed for day on acct. of it and
so was the p. O. Work is at stand
still and the terrible recital of what
happened is on everybody's lips.
On Wednesday morning of last week
Lem Brown left Bingville for the Co.
seat, where he was drawed up to serve
on jury. Lem understood that he
would git all through serving so as he
could come back home Friday night
and he told his wife so. Before he
left Bingville Lem made arrangements
with Deacon Butterworth to feed his
COW and pigs while he was absent,
and look after things around the
house generally. Lem has always
been a great friend of the Deacons,
being as they both belong to the Bling
the amen corner every Sunday.
Well, the Deacon looked after things
at LENS place in good shape so far as
we can learn. Between chores the
Deacon would go into Lens house
and take off his mitts to warm his
hands at the kitchen stove, while
Mary Brown, that's LENS wife, would
give him a doughnut, mebby, or a
cookie, if she happened to be making
any. The weather was so cold that
the Deacon spent considerable of his
time in the kitchen talking TO Mary,
but nobody ever thought anything OF
it, being as Mary is terrible hand
some and agreeable woman. Her name
before she was married was Mary
Simpkins and she lived out the Pike
four miles west of Bingville, daughter
of old Sam Simpkins, who is dead and
gone, To- these many years. When
Mary was a girl of Is it was said that
there wasn't prettier girl in this
county than just her. She was the
belle of Bingville. And since we come
to think of it, this amt been such a
long time ago and SO far as we are
able to see, Mary amt changed much
since Personally, we think she is
now better looking than ever. And SC
nobody blamed Deacon Butterworth
for spending probably a leetle mite

Finds a Mine of Honey.

"Bill' Terry, an assayer, who recent
ly came to Los Angeles from Gallup,
N. M, say he has found an immense
deposit of honey. He said
Il had ben in Gallup several weeks
when | got acquainted with an old
squaw, who took liking to me. Six
weeks ago she said she was going to
show me something only few people
knew about.
"a few miles out of Gallup we rode
into a canyon. Taking my knife, she
jabbed it into what appeared to be
solid rock.
well, sir, what do you think it
was? Nothing but petrified honey.
There's a vein about eighteen inches
wide and foot deep running from the
ground up through the entire side wall
of the canyon. There's hundreds Of
thousands of pounds of it."-Los An

FOR MAlNT ENANCE OF HEAlT r.
Few Simple Rules of Living All Ihat
Is Required.


The requirements of health can be
counted on one hand They are: GOOD
air, good food, suitable clothlng'
cleanliness and exercise and rest. Inc
first two requirements affect the blood
and as the blood circulates all over
the body, including the brain, every
part is affected. Fresh air affects the
purity of the blood The freshest air
is out of doors and it is the duty OF
every one who wishes to be in good
health to spend a certain amount OF
time in the open air. Good food is
not necessarily expensive food. Exer'
else and rest should alternate and
balance each other 1t Is quite pos
sible to take too much exercise. and
this side of the question must be
guarded against as well as the other.
Women, as a rule, do not rest suffi-
GENTLY. Every woman should try dur
ing the day to get few minutes rest,
even if it interferes with her regular
work. 1t is impossible for her to at
tend to the health and welfare OF her
family if her own health suffers from
overwork and lack of rest.-Montreal

"VaudGvjjIe,"

The name vaudeville Is under
stood to be a corruption Of Vaux de
Wire, the name of two picturesque val
leys in the Bocage. of Normandy, and
was originally applied to a song with
words relating to some story of the
day These songs were first com.
posed by one Oliver Basselin, puler
in Wire; they were very popular and
spread all over France, and were
called by the name of their native
place (Les Vaux de Vire).

more time in the kitchen than was
necessary, although he Is married
man hisself.
Well Friday night come and went
and poor Lem Brown didn't come back
from the Co. seat and there was no
word from him. When Lem didn't
turn up Friday evening, when he said
he would, Mary begin to get awful
restless and Uneasy and when the Dea-
con come around to do the feeding
the next morning she invited him into
the house and told him her worst
fears. She said something told her,
although she couldn't say just what,
that something awful had happened to
Lem. The Deacon he told her she
mustn't give way like that because It
was his opinion that Lem had been
unnecessarily detained and that he
was in good health and spirits and
would turn up sooner or later and ex-
plain all
1t took the Deacon a good while to
explain this. He eat nine doughnuts
while he was doing it. When Deacon
Butterworth come back again in the
evening he walked into the kitchen to
see If Lem had come back and he was
terrible surprised to see Mary stand
ing by the window weeping The
Deacon asked her what she was a-cry-
ing for and she sad for poor Lem, who
had deserted her like as not. AS soon
as Mary said this the Deacon's sur
prise was took place by pity. He
hated like thunderashion to stand
there like a gawk while she was sob
bling her eyes out, and her so pretty,
with her eyelashes all wet with tears
and her rosebud mouth dropped down
so. The Deacon couldn't say nothing for
a minute. What can a man say any.
how in case like that? He can't say
nothing.
Then the Deacon couldn't stand 1t
any longer so he walked acrost to
Mary and put his arms around her
and pressed her to his buzzumm and
she laid her head on his breast and he
smoothed back her hair and kissed
her on the ear. Just as he was doing
this Lem opened the Goor and walked
in.
1t was terrible surprise both for
Mary and the Deacon. LET wanted to

Beauty BaIIts, Perfumes, Toilets and
Cruelty OF the Women.
Women OF ancient, luxurious Rome
used to eat parsley as q mouth cleanser
Honey boiled in wine and aniseed was
also a sWeetener of the breath, and
pastils OF myrtle were employed for the
same purpose. Silver tongs and knives
were employed in caring for the nails.
No woman Of social enlinence cut her
own finger nails. Those who had not
skilled slaves employed BARRIERS. Per-
lection in these respects was one Of the
thirty beauties attributed to Helen of
Troy. Great pains were bestowed on
the feet, for 1t was considered that the
breeding was betrayed by them as cas-
lily as by the hands. They were always
much in evidence, the sandals worn not
hiding them. Long, tapering fingers
were highly priced. Various kinds of
herb deeoctions were employed to beau
tify the fingers. Pliny gives recipes for
removing any undesired substances
from the nails. Xxx ssyt 5z..
Asses milk contributed to the white
ness of the women's skin. It was some.
times poured into the bath and the
whole body laved in it, and sometimes
the hands and face were sponged with
it from a silver basin, the soft linen
towel completing the process. The hair
was delicately scented, and all kinds Of
washes and burnishers were applied to
It. It: took many slaves to bring the
tresses into the classic bands or high
pyramids which were the fashion at
various times. Perfumes were not only
applied to chair, hands, clothes and the
person generally, but pervaded the
rooms, which were hung with garlands
and decorated with blooms Of many
kinds. The dresses Of Roman matrons
were made brilliant with various proc.
esses Of pressing and smoothing, ma
chimes being employed for the purpose.

the toilet, the women of that day were
