Unless things cnInse, and very radi-
cally, the old heartrending cry, "Oh,
save us from our frlendsw will have
to be amended so as to read, "Oh, save
us from those who love usw At first
blush this may seem like nonsense, but
just think: Almost every morning we
read OF some young man killing some
young woman because he loves her so.
1t has got to the point in some parts
OF the country where the fathers of
marrlageable young women will not
permit the young men who love them
to enter the house until they are
searched for concealed weapons. How
ever, there has always been more or
less of this, so that It will not be
worth while to worry over 1t. But we
should take some cognizance of the
fact that the trouble is not confined al
together to young lovers, nor does It
always result In shooting but some
times manifests itself in ways which
are equally disagreeable and more hui
initiating. Take, for instance, the man
who was so fond Of woman that when
his admiration was at its height, when
he was gazing at her with rapt en-
thraIlment, Just at the very moment
when he seemed to be given complete
ly up to alteration of the one woman he
loved, he gave her black eye, simply
because she smiled when another man
To
clal form. 1t Is as bad almost as that
observed by the women who loved her
husband so intensely as he was that
when he had his hair cut by the bar
ber she refused to allow him to enter
his home, and has commenced suit
against him for divorce. She loved
him, alas, not wisely but too well. But
the worst example of all Is the case of
another husband. He was so devoted
to his wife that he was always anxious
about the condition of her health. II
she looked trifie pale In the morning
he would go to his work with q heavy
heart and be unhappy all day. He was
constantly feeling her pulse and look
Ing at her tongue. Such a sollcitous
husband nobody ever did see, and the
neighbor's wives all used to point him
out to their husbands as a husband to
pattern after. The other day he came
home and thought that she was look
ing rather poorly. She protested that
she never had felt better in her life.
He denied this emphatically, went
down to the drug store, bought some
pills which he believed would do her
good, and, returning, attempted to force
her to take them. She resisted, and so
fearful was he that she should be sick
and suffer pain that he lost his temper
and threw her down flight of stairs.
1t Is a wonder that she escaped with
only slight injuries. Now, when those
who love us and are anxious about us,
and solicitous with regard to us, and
admire us, and would do anything for
us, do these things to us, what are we
to expect from those who do not care
anything about US? Really, 1t Is hard
to say.

Crab Has 100000 Joints.

The crab known as the scale-tailed

now 1t has turned up again in some
numbers in two ponds on Preston
