The COncubinage Law.

Referring to the concublnage
law in their report the Grand
Jury complain that for lack OF
evidence they have been unable
to secure indictments. Perhaps
the frequent reference, privately,
to such instances are the result
of optical decisions. What KIND
of evidence would be deemed
sufficient to establish the act OF
concubinage if the relations o.
some white men with women o.
African descent is not sufficient

RUNAWAY RESULTS IN
BREAKING PLATE GLASS

What might have been a very Sc
rious affair happened on North Queen
street this morning. Fortunately the
result was only the breaking OF a
5x5 plate window glass, and dfsar'
ranging a snow window. Neverthe'
less. It was the cause Of no little ex-
element and stir on the thorough.
fare.
1t was all an accident, and came
of a very trifiing thing. One of the
teams of the G. w. Buxton brick
yard, Driver Jones. handling the
reins over Al span of Texas ponies,
was making its way up the street. A
small iron pin holding the singletree
of the OF horse dropped from its
place. Naturally the singletree
dropped, and in doing 80, 1t struck
tae heels OF The on horse. evidently
to his discomfort. With a spring he
jumped to the side taking the wagon
and tue other horse With nun and
made for the sidewalk. running the
wagon pole into the window with the
result as above.
There was no further damage done
10 the ws.son or horses. Even the
diver escaped without a scatch. He
soon had everything to rights again
and drove OF as quietly IS IL nothing
had happened. The only thing re
manning to mark the short-lived ex'
citing accident, Is the block of sheet
iron which replaces the plate glass in
G. c. Keedy's show window. But what
might have happened. no mar can
tell. y

She may act the part so often and
so well that after time she will coz
vince people that she is lady; but
if she only takes the trouble to be
born one, if she will only choose for
her ancestors kindly, unselfish peo-
pie. she will be apt to start her life

no matter what her education may

But he had said enough. Old Linn
got up and busted the seat of his
trousers Out of his mouth he threw
his quid of tobacco, as If he had been
invited to eat of some delicate dish.
His nature, and his reading, taken up
long after the children had quit
school, told him that to fight chickens
was a wanton cruelty. But he argued
that they were going to fight anyway,
and that the mere fact of his looking
on would not add to their suffering.
Man suffered for man and it was
called heroism. Man killed chickens
and devoured them. He gave them
no chance for their lives. To be
male portion of the animal kingdom.
To be killed in a fight did not render
the chickens unfit for food, if anyone
wanted to eat them, and, besides, it
offered an opportunity to die game,
and that ought to be looked upon as
the crowning glory of any life. Old
Squire Brizintine looked at Lin. They
belonged to the same church. or at

him and said
