When Paradise Corner organized its
woman's club it was determined that
everything should be done in the most
businesslEke way. MY husband makes
SO much fun OF women's meetings"
said one ot the youngest members.
"He says women never remember to
say Mrs. President or speak OF the
chair or the secretary that is, he
says they are liable to forget at any
time and mention names instead, but
I told him we shouldn't, any Of us.
why, as told him, we are SO par
tlcular that when we had that extra
meeting at Miss I.owden's, and it was
so hot and Miss Ransom looked about
baked in her new cont, Miss Lowden
feels SO strongly that we mustn't ever
run to cnreless ways of speech that she
said, wouldn't it be wiser for the
chair to remove its cont, though it Is SO
awfully becoming to It?' And 1t really
did sound little queer till you thought
it over."-Yonth's Companion.

preserved in the records of an old
court at Southampton, England. 1t
dates from 1857 and must he told in
the quaint ttrminology OF the period:

"a Editor,s Windows.

A clean Office window is slightly
thing. It does one good to be able to
recognize his friends through win
dow as they pass by, but OF late our
plate glass 'illuminator" has been
coated over with all kinds Of rumors,
and was in Just the right condition to
look at an eclipse of the sun. Now
we can see the smile of a girl as she
glfdes along, gaze upon the deliquent
subscriber as he looks the other way
and bow to admiring friends as they
perambulate up and down the street.
A clean window Is thing OF beauty
and a joy for two or three days, and
our devil Is to blame for it.-Welling-

for bigamy. one, for arson and one st e,
murder. Miss Alice Hhiteman. danghf
ter Of Mrs. Hannah Whitenan. who
murdered Edward Deeyerse at her
home several months ago, has been
placed in jail here TO be held as q
witness In the case. Miss Whiteman
disappeared from the country when
her mothers case was called at the
last term of court, and the trial was
postponed on her account, as she was
an eyewitness to her mothers crime
She eluded all efforts to effect her
capture until yesterday. when Sheriff
Carper caught her at Williamstown;
TIE daughter in an interview tonight
savs she viii tell all she knows and
all she saw as to the crime and the
trial promises to be sensational one.
Mrs. Whiteman had forbid Deeyers
coming to her home to see Alice. and
on the afternoon of the murder the
mother saw Deevers in the yard a.
ner home talking TO Alice. She told
him 10 leave, and when he refused
she picked up her husbands gun and
shot Deevers through the neck, kill
ing him instantly. The best counsel
at the bar Of this circuit has been re.
tanned to defend Mrs. Whtteman. The
trial will be held at the old court
house at Elizabeth, in Writ county,
where the murder occurred.
The case OF Harry Archer, charged
with burning the dwelling OF Richard
Hughes. by which crime Hughes and
him family nearly lost their lives. Will
also come up. His is the case where

sulting in his arrest. he having been
heard, it is charged. TO make threats
against Hughes. Archer protests his
innocence and has likewise secured
able counsel to take care of his inter-
ests. 1t is alleged that certain par
ties have been instrumental in keep
ing Alice Waiteman away from the
county thus far, to prevent her from
testifying in her mothers case, and
they may be indicted at this term
OF court.

bruly foot-pads. He was walking
along the railroad track near Fay

men. Absolam refused to do their
bidding and preferred to take his
chances in a hand.to-hand encounter
He promptly proceeded to throw one
OF the thugs over the bank, getting
rid of him in that manner and leav-
ing him with but two to deal with.
