MISFORTUNE FALLS
ON EDITOR YOUNG
LOSES THE EDITORIAL COW AND
COLT AND is SADLY IN NEED
OF FUNDS.

The Mt. Pleasant Record contains
the following lament:
The loss of a fine COW three weeks
ago by We publisher was followed
Wednesday by the death of fine colt
we had borrowed from Mr.. Wiley Har
ris. The colt had just been broken
to ride but having never been handled
by its head it was rather skittish
about allowing itself to be taken hold
Of without bride or rope on, and for
this reason a rope was kept around
the colts neck. In some way the
animal got its hind foot in this rope
and when search was made for it,
was found dead with its neck broken.
This colt we had secured to use in
visiting our subscribers and getting
new ones, and it had been practically
dedicated to our use for this purpose.
Now we are afoot and can't come to
see you. Our need for funds just now
is great; therefore if you can possibly
come to our aid at this time, when our
needs are greatest, it will put us I'M
der obligation to you. We are asking
those who are in arrears
with their subscription to respond as
soon as possible.
1--WE are not given to telling you
stories of our misfortunes. We be-
lieve this is the first one, and hope |
you will pardon us, but these losses,
while small to most people, hit us
mighty hard"

SERVED.

The reception at the City Court
Friday was productive of fines
and good resolutions Acting Recor-
der W. P. Erwin presided and was as
sisted in receiving by City Attorney
Hatcher and officer Ed Green.
Pleas Dean, whose varied and sun
dry experiences of the past should
have taught him better, appeared in
the garb of violater of the city law
against giving, furnishing, procuring
or selling liquor to another and was
assessed $500 and costs.
Will Padgett, whose domicile is on
Ninth street, and who is not Identical,
nor does he closely resemble the Will
Padgett of West Sixth street, was up
on a similar charge, but was found
not guilty. However, an assessment
of $40 and costs was entered against
Will on charge of being drunk and
using offensive language.
J. w. Craig, from the country, was
another caller. His large heart and
generous nature had prompted him to
try and alleviate the suffering of some
friend in town by offering
the use of his red-eye bottle, and this
act of good nature cost him $500
and costs.

Socisl Demands Of the Cook.

The problem OF the domestic COOK IS
ever present with the housewife. Whether
'twere better to endure the radial
forces OF her discomfort OF TO hy 10 Ills

renee in all parts Of an otherwise nor
maIly happy land. It appears that now
new duty has been added to the per
plexities Of those good wives who direct
the destinies OF domestic affairs IN the
suburbs Of large cities Not only is it
necessary to provide the ruler Of the
kitchen with refined quarters and ample
hours Of leisure, but the suppliant mis-
tress must look after the perfect social
happiness OF the czarina below stairs.
The cook now demands her chum. and

rOpolitan delighIs Of excursions in troll
ley cars and the charms. modest in

must have the consolation Of employ
ment in the neighborhood Of her Intimate
friend
This. be it understood, is the chosen
companion OF her own sex The question
Of her regular beau, Of his consoling pres
ence IN the kitchen OF evenings, has long
been relegated TO the realm Of the firmly
established. His adequate refreshment
is a matter OF complicated calculation Of
the factors Of her conscience. his appe-
tite, and the contents Of the cupboard
and refrigerator. His coming and going
are at her unquestioned viii. and his
devotion has become a right as unQues-
toned as are the social affairs OF the
drawing-room. Each realm has It's pre-
negatives, as firmly established and far
less debated than the Constitution.
It Is the demand for the near presence
OF her feminine chum that the cook who
