Both were kindly chaperoned home by Uncle George Sherman. "Kind Lady" Was Not the Ety Mark Wary Willie Had Ftidly Hoped to Tind. Viary Willie left the dustry .coun-t-y ro.nlsMo ami entered tSe honi-it-able open Kite at the end of a tn-at walk Lenlf'ie.l with brUht-Lu.-d an J old fashioned flowers. A tidy aid motherly-ii-oklng wej::an, who li;oko.l as If sin? might be "easy fruit," sat on a vine-clad 111 tie porch homniiiig a sheet. She teemed to be the vm I erson on the premises and Weary Willie fancied that she looked a bit scared. It was because cf this that there was a certain note of authority In his voice whau he said: ' "I want to git something to 'tat. kind lady, and I" The "kind lady" gave her head a I little toss and Interrupted him by sa ling: "You do. eh' Well, I can tell you, my wandering friend, that' you Just have run afoul of the wrong 'kind lady' when you struck me, an' if you think that I am a bit scared of you or of any of your traripiu' tribe you are most beautifully le t, an' so I let you know, for the tran.u never yet drtw the breath o' life that I was scared ot or who could bulldoze mo Into feedln' him, an' I can tell you straight that 1 ain't no use for yutt nor for uoue o" your clan, an' if I had my way there would be a workhcusn in every county In the land where surh gents as you would put in 12 good tours of work every day or be stood in the Etock3 that long, and I guess then you would keep off the country roads an' top scarln' wlnimen that ain't got nerve enough to tell you what they think of you, which I have, an so I let you know, an' If you don't :ight,out o' here right forthwith an' faster, in less than one minnlt I will go into the bouse an' come out again with a hosswflp that I have UBed on more thau cue o' your stripe, an' sent, him off howlin' like the whipped cur that he was. an' that you will be if you so much as open your mouth even. to say 'kind lady' to me, which I ain't, nor don't want to be no 'kind lady' when it comes to wasting sweetness on the desert air, as a body might say, by bein' kind to any such low-down, wuthless specimens o' scum o'. the earth as you represent, an' If you don't vamoose this ranch la three shakes of a dead sheep's tal'.

Wade Windham and Bert Thrasher went to Louisville to help along the celebration, and also to look after the distribution of some campaign cards. Bert complained of seasickness to much that it was necessary to turn him over to the tender mercies of the Quaker Medicine Company, which hap pened to be in town. Thus relieved of the handicap, Wade finished up his job in record time. See us for sale bills.

Jarres Harvey and i thn-e ether foliermeu who were out in : the Iur-cft Rt-ta, report th.-.t when 18 I .T.ilt a off the coast U.ey sighted a soa ' serpent 10 feet long, with a brown head as big arouud as a small barrel and i yes as large us a man's Est. The i serpent is said to have moved Its head from side to side as a snake do?3. and i had a bis dorsal fin 15 Ret back of . the head. I The fishermen say the same monster has been reported within the last few month near the Fhlllwdnes and long the northern coast of this coun try! They furthermore aver that a heavy sinker, which one of the five threw at the sea serpent as the boat was pull ing away from the unsafs neighbor hood, was caught in the creature's mouth and spit back with such force as to make a deep dent in the fish box on deck. "Never saw such a spitter," said one of the men; "Just like a young cannon." Lons Beach is a "dry" town. Long Beach (Cai.) Dlspa'.ch-to the New York World. Paper and Canvas. In a book entitled "Stories of the English Artists," R. Davies and C. Hunt tell an interesting anecdote of Turner, the great landscape painter, He disliked to part with his pictures, and when he sold one, Invariably wore a look of dejection and oppression. If a friend asked him what was the mat ter, he would scornfully explain: "I ve lost one of my children this week." Once a rich Birmingham manufac turer, Glllott by name, Introduced him self to the painter, and slated that he had come to buy. "Don't want to sell," or gome such laconic rebuff, with the answer. The manufacturer then drew from his pocket a bundle of bank-notes,, about 5,000 worth. "Mere paper," observed Turner, with griiu humor, a little softened, however, and evidently enjoying bis Joke. "To be bartered for mere canvas," replied Glllott, waving his hand at the "Building of Carthago" and it3 com panions. This tone of cool depreciation seemed to have a happy effect, and finally Glllott departed with some 5,000 worth of Turner's plcturae. Cleanliness of Amsterdam. Amsterdam enjoys an enviable repu tation for its cleanness. .Owen Felt ham, who visited Holland In the sev enteenth century, was particularly im pressed by tho spotles3ness of its itreets and houses. "Whatsoever their estates be," he writes, "their houses must be fair. Therefore from Amster dam they have baulsht seacole, lost It oyle their buildings. Every door ieema studded with diamonds. The nails and hinges hold a constant Drlghtnesse, as it rust there was not i quality Incident to Iron. : Their houses they keep cleaner than their bodies; their bodies than their souls, Coe to one, you shall find the and '.rons shut up in network, m a, sec ond, the warming pan muffled in Ital ian cutworke. At a third tho Bconce clad in canibrlck." HAVE PROPER SELF-RESPECT. . One of the Greatest Mistakes Possible to Make Is That of Holding Oneself Too Cheap. Do not hold yourself too cheap. If you do not think well of yourself oth ers are not likely to i think much of you. You are usually' taksn at your own value. By this is cot meant a foolish self-conceit, but a proper self rrspect. Have a regard for the esteem of those whose opinion is worth having. No one can be admired by all. He who has no enemies may doubt wheth er he has real friends. Try to win the regard of the gocd and the wise; If the foolish take offense pas3 It by. Think too well of yourself to stoop to anything coarse, mean or untrue. However humble your station In life ttay be, you may think yourself wor thy only of that which is good an') true. To be genuine puts you on a hlch level. Whatever your purse, you may be rich in character. Think your self worthy of the best to which you can attain. Aim for the highest you see, and should you fall to reach it, you will still be higher than if your aim had been low. Dreamers. Day dreams, castle3 in Spain, fig ments of the imagination ah, how we laushut them all nowadays! They pre good enough for the little onoj, tor tho boys and feirls, pr-rhaps, but as for us we have long ago outgrown them.' With what gusto wo speak cf So-and-So as a hard-headed chap, a monoy getter, while we dismiss ciJ rival with a lift of the brows as "an Impractical fellow." Shame upon us for it, too! Gofl give us more dreamrrs. I pray; mor of those whose Inner eye is free jf cataract. We need them here in Amer ica to-day; we are too practical a peo ple. W'e are youngin years, but we have fought an aging buttle for the supremacy of a great continent. W have come up out of the struggle with the rich trophies of victory fast clutched la our calloused hands. We have worked desperately hard for them, and they are good to look upon but we must have a care now les we bow down before thrm In abje'.t fetish worship. Charbs Francis Road, In Smart Set. Town of Many Vicissitudes.1 Cattaro, the Austrian sea gate of Montenegro, which was recently be leved to be threatened by Prince Nich olas' guns, wai held by Montenegro jnce for a time. Montenegro ac 4ulred it in 1813 with the aid of a Brit ish squadron. Any inhabitant of Cat taro who waa contemporary with tho rise and fall of Napoleon must often nave bad to pause and think what country he belonged to. For, having been Venetian for centuries, Cattaro became Austrian by the treaty . of Campo Formlo, and Italian in 1805 by the peace of Pressburg. It was ab sorbed In the Froncn empire in 1810, and wrested from It lo 1813, and finally, In 1814, Russia compelled Mon tenegro to give it up to Austria, Stung!

' Form Colonies for Tramps. Perhaps most tramps have no de sire to work, preferring to cling to their habits of shlftlessness. but there are doubtless many men In the ranks who would settle down to the serious task of making monejr and improving their condition tf they had the proper training. The latter may and prob ably will, be rescued by a term on the "farm," but the veteran who has walked rails when no freights were available; who ha3 shied at anything savoring of labor; who haa begged or stolen what food be has obtained, can not be reformed. He will go on until the end in his old way. a scourge to humanity and a disgrace to civiliza tion. Usefulness wa3 never and can never be for him. To the extent of the number constituting this class the farm colony will be a failure. V ? Y t t f t t V y v t f Special Sale of Sample Hammocks AT Heroic!
