MODERN DON JUAN MAKES HIS
 EXIT.
(rrom Sundays Daily)

-------
 (From Sundays Daily.)
 Leaving behind him . trail of blast cd rcputations and at least one scarlet stained home as the result of his un- speakablc moral filth, q. II. Rouse, who in six short months achieved the de- grading distinction of being the Don Juan of Jerome. departed from that city on Sunday last. while his name remains only as a stcnch in tho nostrils of the respectable element of tho community.
 Dramatic Departure.
 The departure of Rouse from the field of his libidinous achievements was not effected without some dramatic features that accentuated his disgrace. He had quietly resigned from the T. F. Miller store, where he had been employed in the drug department, ow. ing, it is said, to effective hints from aroused husbands and fathers that his continued presence in the town would prove q menace to his health. Rouse had therefore planned to leave the city stcalthily, and in order that his in tentions might not become known, he wheeled his trunk on whcclbarrow to the depot, and expected, it is be- | iicvcd, to make his exit unobscrvcd. Attached at Depot.
 But his plans went wrong. The news travelled down town and before the train left he was served ith an at. tachmcnt for s25, representing borrowed money, and was forced to pay for hat for which hc had neglected Co set. tie. Rouse reluctantly squared these obligations, and additionally paid ts.3o as costs for the legal expenses incurred. Then Rouse boarded the train for n destination unknown and for which none seemed to care.
 Foul Boasts.
 Thus ended tho final chapter as far as his Jerome career is concerned of a man who had boasted that seventeen girls had proven easy victims to his Ieprous plans, and that several mar ried women had thrown their honor at his feet.
 His Disrespect of Womcn.
 Tho people of Jerome do not credit his statement as to the number of girls claimed to have been ruined by this basc creature. Rouse was a man who spoke hippantly and lightly of wom' ans virtue. He brnegcd of his fcmi nine conquests without mentioning names, and only in one instance did he confess to an intimate friend that he was the parsmour in certain scan dal that recently stirred Jerome'' social circles from center to circum ference.
 Jerome Brsathes Easy.
 Rouse's departure therefore hal caused . great sigh of relief to go uV from the men of families in the coppel city. While his boasts were discrcdit 2 cd, yet in . measure they cast clou' upon the good namc of every woman and girl with whom he had ever assc ciatcd even at the parties where he wal , an omniprcsent guest. Men witl l daughters and men with wives ar 3 breathing easier since this debauchc , of womanhood has made his exit.
 Was . Handsome Man.
 Rouse made his appearance at Je rome last fall, hailing, it is said, iron
 Alabama. He secured . position ii
 the Miller store, and 1t was only
 short time until he had obtained al cntree to the exclusive swell set O the copper city.
 It is conceded by all who knew hif
 that Rouse had a peculiar fascinatio ! for the fair sex. He had . soft am pleasing voice; his manners were defer cn.iai, ingratiatisg and charming, an his general appearance was wha
 might be properly described m hand U some. He had the brow of an Apollo
