The Doctor Habit,

One of the tendencies of i'll health
is to make one morbid. People who
are constantly thinking about their
ailments, worrying about their trou-
bles. suffering pain, often develop a
morbid passion for sympathy. They
want to tell everybody of their aches
and pains, to describe their symp-
toms,
Have you ever known woman
who has acquired the doctor habit,
a woman who loves nothing in the
world quite so well as an opportunity
to tell the doctor of her ailments?
She has poured them out TO unwel-
come ears, to forced listeners, till
she longs for some one who can real
ly appreciate ii all, who sympathizes
with her in her troubles; so she
sends for the doctor or goes to see
him.
This becomes almost a mania with
some women, who have few outside
activities TO divert them. Their minds
naturally revert to themselves and
they think of their unfortunate con-
ditiou until they become saturated
with the poisoned thought,-Success

PISTOL TOTING BANNED IN

Even today the association is

Texas in the class of the one-time
border states casts a slur upon her

OKLAHOMA WOMAN MARSHAL.
She Carries IA Gun and Knows How
to Use 1t

Beulah Reynolds, deputy United
states marshal for the Eastern dis
trict of Oklahoma. That is the way
1t reads on the pay roll, and the pc
t1te handsome girl that answers to
the name is a real deputy marshal
with authority to carry a siX-shoot-
er, privilege which she uses, sery-
ing under Grant Victor, marshal of
the district
Miss Reynolds was born in Ran
dolph county, Missouri, and educat-
ed at Lexington Mo. She was in Ok
lahoma City at the opening of Okla
homa She regards her appointment
under Victor as a political matter.
She was taken on as stenographer,
but when she went in she insisted
on taking the same oath that any
other deputy marshal takes and she
also is subject to the same rules and
duties. So far as known she is the
only woman actually in service as a
deputy United States marshal. She
has authority to make arrests, raids,
serve papers and even go into the
field on special duty.
When she took the oath of office
Miss Reynolds was asked if she
would go out and make an arrest if
it were required and if she would
take part in a real fight if it came
to show down and it was pointde
out to her Just what duties are some
times required of deputy marshal
| in tight places. Her reply was short
and to the point.
Il will take the oath, and am not
| a gutter
The next morning when the mar
| shall came down he found lying on
| the desk of his new deputy a pearl
handled sixshooter of excellent make
| handsomely engraved and every
chamber loaded. He was informed
that it shot pretty well and that it
was better gun that it looked. So
| far there are no notches on this
gun, but who knows when there will
| be? The fact is the young woman
had been carrying this gun when
| she believed she needed it, and she
knows how to use it.-Kansas City
