Mary Magdalen was one Of the most
beautiful and the most shameless
priestess Of the altar of sin. Behind
her she left young men in despair. She

Had a Life Contract.

Senator Johnston of Alabama owns
a beautiful home surrounded by sew
eral acres in Birmingham and takes
great delight in DOMINIC pair of ov-
erals and split hickory hat and
working in the garden. One day a
fashionab1y dressed woman who had
resided in Birmingham only short
time and had never seen Johnston
called on his wife. No one answered
the bell, so she walked out among the
flower BEDS where the ex-governor
was hoeing some geraniums. He bowed
and she asked him how long he had
worked for the Johnstons.
"a good many years, madam" he
replied.
"Do they pay you well?"
"About all / get out of it is my
clothes and keep"
"Why, come and work for me-" she
said. "I'1l do that and pay you so
much month besides"
ri thank you, madam" he replied
bowling very low, "but signed UP with
Mrs. Johnston for life"
"Why, no such contract is binding.
That is peonage."

always called 1t marriage"

Gasoline Traction Engines.


have your letter in regard to trac-
ton engine work. I have had a gas
oline and Kerosene engine for over
three years, and I am glad to say that
in my opinion traction engine blowing
is the coming thing in the western
states / heartily recommend gaso-
line engines for blowing or hauling.
They are easy to handle, which can
not be said of steam engine. have
tried 1t myself and failed, and am
an expert steam engineer. In blowing
with gasoline engine can do the
work Of twenty horses and five men
at an expense OF 81 per day, with an
average Of twenty-five acres per day
of ten hours. There is no time lost
with gasoline engine If it is man
aged right. used one last spring with
good success. It is the most simple
engine for all kinds Of work, blowing.
seeding, and hauling heavy loads UP
hill and down. One man can handle it,
but two are better. I have been using
kerosene the last year with good re-
suits, at cost of IA cents a gallon, US
ing fifty gallons per day OF ten hours.
so If was to have my pick on en-
gines, gasoline or kerosene, kerosene
would be my first choice.

Packard's Romance.
In the meantime Capt. Packard, in
the midst of his multifarious duties,
had found time for love and romance.
Between him and Miss Emma Frances
Steele, q native of Louisiana and a
daughter of the Confederacy as of one
Of the respected families of the state,
an attachment had grown strong
enough to obliterate sectional lines.
Her family We're confederates. Her
brothers in the confederate armies.
Love laughed at war the same merry
peal it is supposed to bestoW upon
locksmiths. Inquiries were made by
Miss Steele's family as to the man who
desired to marry her. So satisfactory
were the replies that objection was
finally withdrawn and the young cou-
pie married in her fathers house.

his trust rendered up he turned to New
Orleans and the wife who awaited

The Habit Of a Bear.

Wall street associates of the great

unanimously that the financier is sell
dom caught mapping. They declare.
however, that Mr.. Keene Is absent
minded, occasionally, and tell this
story on him to prove it. Keene and
his fellow bull batter" Washington r.
Conner, were at the Keene country
place outside of New York. 1t was q
beautiful summer evening, and Con-
nor proposed stroll thru the lnagnid-
cent grounds. Tho the guest had left
all the cares and worries of the street
in the city, apparently his host had
not. The two started on the walk, but
Conner noticed that Keene was
strangely uncommunicative. Sudden
~ the full moon appeared above the
trees, and Conner regarded its splen-
dor in silence for a moment. Then he
turned to his companion.

he asked.

was the preoccupied answer, with a
sigh.

Her Vengeance.
CBystander.)

No one but a woman could have con-
ceived so cruel vengeance. Yet she
tells of 1t with positive glee. They al!

Titles squares-hotbeds of gossip
where the houses are every one built
on the same plan, and where each
man, woman and child knows the
most exact details of the next-door

However, she dared to do such a
thing cannot imagine said the
modern Borgia. ut was when was
i'll that she called upon me, and in my
weakness was foolish enough to let
my maid get out my new dress and
show it to her. Would you believe it,
she had the audacity to go directly
and have the dress duplicated, down
to the very buttons, and was wearing
1t in the street before I had even been
we'll enough to try mine on! But am
such treachery; saw that she was
speedily and hideously punished.
'What did do?" continued the ex-
asperated speaker. why, made a
present of my gown to Susan, my
cook, and the first time / saw that
woman go out, got Susan to put on
the dress and walk up and down the
square, in full sight of the entire
neighborhood. Then, when that wo-
man returned home close friend OF
mine met her in front of her house
and said:
Why, my dear Mrs. Dolliver, what
charming dress you have on! But
let me think, now-I remember-Mrs
HILLS cook has just gone round the
corner with one exactly like it. How
strange! Here she comes now
"And at that very moment up saun-
tered Susan, twirling red sunshade.
Mrs. Dolliver is having to use color
restoratives on her hair; they say it
turned white in a minute"

From this time on the history Of
Louisiana can not be history without
the name Of Stephen B. Packard. The
problems of reconstruction were stir
ring and when in 1857 the reconstruct
elected delegate to the convention
called to frame a constitution for the
reconstructed state of Louisiana. It is
to be remembered that the state was
then u der military government.
When this convention had adjourned
1t had by ordinance created a commit
tee of seven to be called the State
Board of Registration. Packard had
been made its chairman. The conven-
ton had only prepared the way for re-
construction Of the civil government.
Thiy committee had charge of the col
Election Of taxes and the civil admin
istration of the state until a govern
merit had been inaugurated. The con-
stitution was to be voted on subject to
its adoption by all legal voters, and at
the same time legislators and state Of

over the military governor, deIK.
crat, appointed by President AnS w
johnson, promulgated the vote as hay
ing adopted the constitution and stated
that the vote on state officers would
not be declared until some indefinite
future time. 1t was scheme to pre-
vent the Inauguration Of the state gov
eminent until after the November
election wherein Grant and Colfax were
candidates against Seymour and Blair.
This had been foreseen and met by the
creation of the registration board OF
which Packard was chairman. This
board had tally Of every election

by Chairman Packard. He knew the
result Of the election for every state
official and legislator. He issued
proclamation reciting the vote as cast
and called on state officers elect to
take the oath of office and the legisla-
tors; to meet the week after Gen.
Buchanan, military governor, sent
staff officer to arrest Chairman Pack
ard and issued an order to convene a
commission to try him as an impede
melat to reconstruction. Here the
dou ghty general ran against Ulysses
S. Grant. An order came next day
from Cen Grant, then military chief OF
the U. S., commanding the immediate
release of Packard. Congress immedi-
ately passed law providing that IN
all reconstructed states state govern
ments should be inaugurated and leg
islatures convened at the time set by
the civil authorities Of the state. And
Packard's registration board was the
civil authority OF Louisiana.

In the meantime Packard had been
elected chairman of the state repub-

constitutional convention and during

the campaign that followed-and was
continued in it ten years without a re-
quest on his part. For be 1t known
Governor Packard never requested an
appointment or an office for himself

an office holder. The state government
