It was not my fault that the catalogue people did not supply me with mate. Had they offered me one I would no doubt have taken her. But in a way fate made up for this short coming.

 The merchants in the local town complained. We laughed at them.
 You will drive us out of business, they argued.
 That, we felt, did not con- cern us, so we gave them no heed and it worked out as they had predicted. Because of declining trade they were forced to close their stores and go away.

a paper or magazine of any sort and the chances are you will find included in it's contents at least one choice confession, the life story of some man who, having forsaken the ways of the erring for the path of the righteous, proceeds to give detailed ac- count of his sinful career.
 Terry, the Touch," has told his tale. Sam, the Second Story Man" has reviewed his porch climbing exploits for the benefit of the public. William of the Slunkshot," better known to the police as "Kill.em- quick Bill" has recounted interesting incidents wherein he tucked 'em away" with a little peck on the head.
 Others have given open. faced recitals of their experiences with liquor opium, "coke" and various drugs, while still others have elected to tell of their experi- ences in the field of romance, of marrying anywhere from one to ten wives too many to conform with the requirements of the law in this regard.
 Not to be outdone in iournalis- tic enterprise the American Lumberman presents The Con- fession of a Reformed Mail Or der Customer" story taken from life as found in an old sec. tion of the country. It took time and money but there was no he's itating. As in the cases of the others man has been prevailed upon to lay bare the innermost secrets of his soul, to admit his guilt of the past and tell why he did it. There has been no dress ing up, no adding of imaginary details. It's the story just as the former victim gave it.
 He began as follows:
 Yes I am a reformed mail or, der buyer, Much as it pains me to admit it l was once given to to the practice.
 How did 1 begin it? We'll, that is rather hard point. 1 do not wish to appear as trying to excuse myself but the fact is the thing was forced upon me.

The great con with which my people treated it by placing it on the center table in the front room along with the family Bible, i'm pressed me deeply and while I was yet young in years I had come to look upon it with the at most veneration.

She Had Crimson Linen on Her
Breast and aeon and Tea In Her
Handbag.
Chicago, Nov. 26. - Possessed with
the idea that she was pursued for dis
honorable purposes, Miss Maude Van
Deusen, twenty-five years old, leaped
from the twentieth story of the Nc.
Cormick building and was crushed to
death on the stone paving of an alley
at the street level.
She jumped from a fire escape near
ly 250 feet above the ground. Her body
struck another fire escape at the first
floor and bounded into the alleyway.
Nearly all the bones in her body were
broken.
Miss Van Deusen, according to pa
pers on her person, was a school
teacher at Humboldt, Neb. 1t appeared
that she had been seeking a position
in Chicago and had been obsessed
with the idea that she had been in
danger from white slavers. She wrote
that she had been driven to appeal
for protection to Chief of Police Nc
Weeny, to the federal department of
justice and to social settlement work
ers-
She had prepared for death by pin
ming across her bosom a strip of white
linen, which had been stained crimson
at either end, and on which she had
printed in large letters:
Death before dishonor."
She had tied around her neck a
copy of the New Testament, in which
she had marked passages in st. joan.
She held her handbag in her hand
and it was picked up near her body.
In it was another marked Bible and q
typewriter statement of several thou
sand words, entitled Part of my lie 6
history" 81 will die clean, if l have
to kill myself" was written at the
head of one of the sheets.
A strip of bacon, small paper of
pepper, an ounce of tea and 1913 In
currency were found in the handbag.
II am trying to write this without
the least emotion" her typewriter
statement began, "and though the tol
lowing statement may seem dramatic

Rich Constable.
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 26.-Jacob Su
ravitz, of Olyphant, one-armei con
stable, worth from $4,000 to 100000
must pay $4,000 of his fortune tc
Miss Katie Pristacz, his former house
keeper, for breach of promise to marry
her.
In an opinion just received from the
United States circuit court of appeals
the judgment of $4,000 allowed by the
Jury has been sustained.
Miss Pristacz came to America two
years ago and entered Suravitz'
home as his housekeeper. He is
widower. A year ago the girl started
suit, charging Suravitz with deceivinG
with promises of marriage and witr
throwing her out of the house wher
she insisted that he keep his word.
At the trial of the case Suravitz ap
peared in court literally in rags, ap
parently to disabuse the minds of the
Jurors of the truth of the allegation
that he was rich.
The verdict is said to be the larg
est judgment ever given in Pennsyl
vania in breach of promise suit.
