Young Woman Druaqed.

Some excitement was created
at the home of Mrs. Leila Green
Davis last Friday night, when il
became known that her daughter,
Mary Ruffin Green, had been
drugged. The whole affair is
shrouded in mystery, aud the
facts seem hard to get, but what
has been/learned is as follows:
Miss Green was at home by
herself, the other members OF the
family having gone off. and when
they returned she was found on
the steps leading to the second
floor in an unconscious condition.
A physician was summoned and
soon Miss Green regained con-
sciousness. 1t was then that the
story was learned: Someone,
said by the drug clerk to have
been the voice of a lady, ordered
some chloroform, which was duly
delivered. but Miss Green stated
that abe knew nothing of anyone
having ordered it. She took the
package and went into the house,
leaving the drug while she went
into another part of the house.
When she returned she says the
only thing she remembers is that
someone seized her and admins
tered the drug.
There was no evidence of rob-
berry, no clue as..to who the per-
son was that ordered the chIoro-
form. nothing to show that the
guilty one accomplished anything
more than administer the drug to
the young lady. The whole mat
ter is a mystery which only time
will unravel.

The trial of DR.. and Mrs. D.

chosen.
While the evidence in this
case has been heard several
times there Is yet manifest much
interest in the case and the at
tendance at each session of the
court Is large. Both the pris-
oners look well and show no i'll
effects from having been confin-

!. affections and associations were
twined about, every object, ami.
mate and inanimate. So she
turned away from the window
: without, where love waited to be
beckoned in, and drew down the
,, shade and began making tea OF
coffee for her old parents just as
she knew they liked it. After a
while, just as she knew it would,
love passed on. Of course it was
all done so quietly that none but
the woman who made the sacri-
!, flee of life itself, knew what had
been done. And as the years
come and 60, and she does not
marry, her brothers and sisters,
with husbands and wives, and
homes of their own, rally her
gocd-naturedly, about becoming
an old maid. Her old mother
greatly wonders at it, and COM
plains before company that she
don't see why MARY Dear"
doesn't marry. All of her otner
girls have married young enough,
but MARY Dear" somehow,
doesn't seem to attract men, and
she has never told her why. OIL
course not.
We laugh a good deal about the
anti" societies, mostly made up
of single women, that are organ
lied for reforming everything
under the sun; at the woman's
club, wrestling with difficult
problems, and at the elderly
spinsters who excite themselves
about the matrimonial affairs of |
others, but surely the tear should |
be very near our smiles when we
remember how much these are
the result of empty-hearted, |
empty-handed women trying to
fill their lives with some real in
terest. Nobody values the SER
vices of the old maid. She is
looked upon as a hindrance; yet
in thousands of homes there is
such a woman who stands be-
tween a family and disruption
and disgrace. She keeps the
peace between the husband and
wife, tactfully bridges over diff
ficult situations and hides the
little weaknesses from such.
And for her reward, she gets
indifference, ingratitude;
sometimes every reminder that
she is an unwelcome burden.
People laugh at her peculiar
ways. They consider her advice
intermeddling. She who fills all
places in the world nobly has no
place in the world because she is .
an old maid. Oh! the injustice
Of it! Yet no women have done ;
more for humanity, and for the .
individual, nor ever will, than
the old maid reformer and the ,
old maid aunt.
There is no one to whom we
owe a deeper debt of gratitude. +.
and no one whom we could not .
better spare. Be sure of this:
God sends old maids into the .
world to do the work the rest of !
Us leave undone. =" May God
bless all old maids.
Now, dear friends, you may ,
.hink perhaps. that | am an old
maid for writing this, but you |
we're never more mistaken in
your dear, sweet life. For | GER
.ainly intend to marry at some
line or other-if-I ever have a
chance.
But | do love an old maid. Be-
1ond all things, except-well-

deserves our reverence instead
of our ridicule.
| Curiously enough, although
matrimony is not the haven oil
the blest in real life that it is
represented to be in story and
song, men and women alike have
something of plying contempt
in their attitude toward the
woman who has never been mar
ried. Young girls look upon her
with awe and dread. Brides
gaze upon her from the heights
of their happiness as one who is
a sort of outsider at the feast of
life. Mothers complain of her
openly. Grown men regard her
as a direlect on the sea of fate,
and callous school boys are free
to patronize her. Even the "di-
vorcee" scorns her as one who
has failed as a woman.
The theory is, of course. that
women are old maids simply be-
cause love never came to them,
and no man ever found them at
tractive enough to desire them
tnever was there a more base
less belief. Why, there never
was, and never will be a woman
in this world so ugly, so stupid,
and unattractive that she could
not have married some man-if,
all that she wanted was a we'd
ding ring. Oh! Yes, | will admit
that there are a great many old
maids, but they are old maids
because of circumstances, or
choice: and not for lack of a
man" Sometimes a woman is
an old maid, just as a man is an
old bachelor, from a natural in
clination towards celibacy. Some
times a woman is an old maid be-
cause of her fidelity to a high |
ideal. The hero of her dreams,
the one man to whom she might
have given herself, never came
along. and she was too fine and
noble to take the common clay
that was offered her. There are .
women who have led lonely lives
unmoved. because of faithless
men, and other women because
their hearts were buried in the .
grave of their dead lovers. Very
often a woman's spinsterhood is .
an offering that she lays on the
altar of her family: Someone. /
perhaps was the oldest child, and
slaved away her youth and
beauty and the spring-time of
life. in which she might have
shut up in an office or
toiling to make
money to educate her little
brothers and sisters at home:
until she has passed from being
a woman into being a mere
and her marrying days
are over.
Then, again. perhaps she was
the last child left at home with
mother and father, after all the
other children have gone from
the old family home and reared
homes of their own. Love hut-
tered for a while outside her
hearts door, too, and she knew
that she had but to open the case
nent and let it in. but she never
did It. She could not forsake
The dear old people that clung to
her as helpless as children. She
