Friday morning.
Mr.. Moncure was seen at the Sum-

porter Of The Item, and while he
made no definite statements as to
the nature Of mis- business in the city,
he said enough to convince the re-
porter that 1t would not be long be-
fore active work would be begun on
getting the road into this city.
In fact, Mr.. Moncure stated that his
corps OF surveyors now had their
headquarters In Bishopville, where
hey are making all necessary ar
rangements for the passage Of the
road through that city. Mr.. Moncure's
opinion carries great weight with the

but since the name of the young moth

list Mr.. Wyckoff had great difficulty
in finding her He sought the aid OF
Collector William Loeb, Jr., and met
no less than ten steamers due on the
same day as the Adria.ic, or the next.
Mr.. Loeb, however had seen to 1t that
no obstacles should stand in Mrs. De
Malinowski's way, and although Mr.
Wyckoff did not meet her at the pier
he did find her just as she was start
ing for her mothers home.

Mr.. Wyckoff received letter not
long ago from De Malinowski in which
he begged his American friends not
to form an opinion of the case until
his side had been heard. He did ret
say, however, what that side was.

CANNOT SEE PERFECTION
Louisville Courler-Journai Is an
Avewed Aenostlc Conserving This
Wonderful Man.

Down In Missouri somewhere, &C.
cording 70 the newspapers, there has
been found the perfect man. At least
they say he was perfect because he
never told lie or spoke a cross word
10 his wife. And her husband declares
his wife is equally perfect. But the
Louisville Courier-Journal has doubts.
AT least it thinks perfection may have
some drawbacks, for that lively news
paper comments as follows on the
character and career of the model of
human perfection, who recently died.
He must have been awfully lonesome.
Every man in town going to work
cheered and refreshed by the daily
morning spat with his wife must have
stunned him as a breathing reproach.
Certainly. in view of the fact that he
could not tell lie, nobody would dare
invite him to sociable little game of
draw or think of embarking with him
on bouse or even the most harmless
sort. Then, again. how many thousand
times he must have been held up as a
shining light to erring everyday hus-
bands. That In itself would seem to be
enough to turn every man in the town
against him. He must have picked his
steps In fear and trembling, with the
eyes of the whole community watching
for the first sign of a recession from
grace. The married men must have at.
tended his funeral with well-dissem-
bled grief and sigh of relief. The
question that pre-eminently calls for
an answer, however, is: For how
much of the mans perfection was he
really entitled to credit and how much
was yicarious? When one considers
that his wife never spoke cross word
20 him and never told him fib 1t is
apparent that there Is some room for
speculation-for doubt, even. One
wonders whether he would have got
TO heaven with DOGGY score had he
not been blessed with an extraordinary
wife"
