also from her youth up she has been trained
to glvo you the pretty Httlo thank you , the

which makes all the difference between the

It Is the shirt-front that she thinks "our

in all Its glory and grandeur stiff nnd im

is deploring in it the Influence of the whlto
linen. She stands up , nnd with her hands
behind her , llko the picture of Dorothy Teu-
nunt , says , "How would I look In a shirt and
jnckutl" Well , it's a funny thing , but you
don't conjure up n picture of bow she
would look In a shirt and coat , but you sco In
stead how she does look in a white mull
frock , n broad sash about her waist , n bodice
that Is V shaped at tbo throat both back nnd

a white throat , n head crowned with soft
brown hair , and n half French , bale Ameri

in this fact , that sho'll glvo up a dance with

persist in dancing , though ho has a wooden

inclines to cotton frocks and to wear tier lost

The best way to make a lazy man n busy
ono is to force him to roallzo that the women
of tbo family have no Idea whatever of earn
ing his trousers for him ; but whllo things
look dark are willing to do the best for them
selves and the children. If ho Is a strong ,
capable man bo can got his own broad and
liU own belongings. Cut unfortunately tbo
southern women who have mnilo money have
lavished it too many times on worthless , lazy
mon. A woman said to rae the other day ,
"Did yoxt ever know n successful southern
women who did not have three or four other
people to keopi" I bad to confess I did not ,
and added as long as there nro old woraon
and children it was all right ; but when it
came to big , lazy , bandsomo men I wanted to
rise up in my recently acquired English flesh
and knock down every man who wasn't old
enough to put In an aged men's homo , wbo
lot a woman take euro of him. Invalids and
drunkards would of course bo debarred from
this combat , for women have been taking care
of drunkards ever since tbo world began ,
and probably -will contlnuo to do so as long
ns the world lasts. I really bellovo tbo
average woman would rather nurse a man
through an attack of delirium tremens a
bad , human man , than take care of n saint
throughh an attack of low fovcr.

But to return to what's going on hero. If
anything , the Julopsaro slightly sweeter , tbo
whisky used in thorn has a moro oily taste I
mean this In a complimentary sense , for the
whisky that rasps the throat h not conducive
to tbo 303-of a julop. It must go down in a
slow sort of tobboggan fashion and all the
whllo you are smelling the spicy llnvnr of
mint and wondering who first discovered it ,
and who inndo the first combination of
whisky , mint , and sugar , inivo It its title , and
made it ono of the great seductions of the
south. You may go declaring you do not
llko thorn ; you may have an English prefer
ence for brandy and soda ; you may announce
that the campagno cup scorns to touch your
heart In n faclnatlng way , but onto your foot
is on the natlvo heath of the southern girl
you meekly bow down to Juleps , accept the
ono that is sent to you after the morning
dance , and wonder how you over
thought anything else worth drink
ing. Next to the Julep comes the
consumption , of chicken , and though you
think chicken a peed thing in its xvay , and
undoubtedly healthful , It does seem surpris
ing to see thcso southern women take It meal
after meal and prefer it to the jucleat steak ,
the most underdone roast beef that over was
served. Do they bopo to become angels In
thlswayl Are the feathers growing out of
their shoulders , or do they think some
special virtue lies In it that will niuko them
young forever )
If ouo wera honestly asked what Is the
chief Industry of the south , ono would hon
estly have to reply the infant ouo , for no
body has lesa than four children , and most
people run thirteen and llftoen. At a wed
ding given near this place not very Ions ago.
the great desire of the bride was to Isoop an
old darkey , named Aunt Lizzie Howard.away

But here everything returns to woman-
she is supremo. And I will tell you why men
llko southern women.
Because they are affectionate ; they novcr
lose an opportunity to give a kiss , say a
pleasant word , or to do n kindly dcod for the
man who rules their hearts.
Because they do not gossip very much ,
homo , children nnd husbands usually forming
a world big enough for thotn.
Because , whllo they nro Intelligent woraon ,
they don'tquito llko some of tuo latter-day
hooks , they don't understand the mystery of
Dorian Gray , nnd they adore a love story.
It's love , love , love , that makes the south
ern girl go round every girl expects to pot n

disappointed. Like Lady Amanda , she orlcs

The boys nil know rno when I came back
and took my seat at the old desk. Evidently
I haven't changed much , in appearance since
I started on ray summer vacation. And wha
a vacation It was. Away less than two weeks
still so much was crowded into that short
space of time that it seemed as though
months had dapped slnco work was deserted
for pleasure.
I have been to Now York not to the
crowded city , but to the country in the cen
tral part of the state. Away from the rail
roads , surrounded hy lakes and woods and
glens , It was Just tbo place for rest. And I
rested , although retiring1 to sleep every night
thoroughly fatigued. But It was a fatlguo
which did a man good and made his rest the
sweeter tind bis snovo the stronger.
I " " with the "douiinlo" of

'highest social circles" of the llttlo

whllo it has 3,700 inhabitants , 1,700 of them
nro underground. The cemeteries nro
crowded nud now 01103 nro being laid out ,
whllo the town Itself has the appearance of
being la the sear-nnd-yollow-leaf stage of
life.Vhlto heads and gray hoards predomi
nate , and everybody takes life easily. Youug
men nro few and far between , and push and
enterprise are thing } of the almost forgotten
past.Whilo
While tlio town has no railroad , it has the
ghost of ono n grade. Seventeen years ago
the road was begun , the line .graded , iron
bridges built , and then the projectors became
discouraged and abniidonea the enterprise. I
walked along the roadbed , across the rotted
timbers of a b rid go approach , and thought of
the dead booms whlcu. were laid awuy so
tearfully when the r.Ulroad was abandoned ,
and the solid Iron of the bridge boomed a
monument to their memory.
Sunday I wcntto meeting with the preacher
In the old "onn ness shay. " Out In the coun
try , with no other structures in sight save
the horseaeds and the grave stones , stood
the ctmrcii. But on the road leading from
the four points of the Compass stiiugs of ve
hicles were drawing u\i and depositing tuclr
human freight on the- front porch of the
mooting house. The people stopped and
chatted , juld visits to the grave yard sur
rounding the church , 'and then tiled In and
took their seats boforoftuoipulpit.
When I entered tno plain-looking building

given a genuine surprise. Spacious , hand

With possibly one or two exceptions , there Is
not a church In Omaha which can compare
witbtbU "mcctln" house" in Now York.
And still It is located In the open country ,
away from all business and residences , unit
the congregation comes from a radius of
seven miles. Evidently going to church Is
moro a "part of business there than In the
rushing west , Death seems nearer in a
"deml" town and the people are evidently
pro pat Ing for the "great change. "

NEBRASKA. Cnr , Nob. , August 30. [ Special
to TUB BEE.I Away back la the tlmo
when Nebraska City and the surrounding
country was yet in its swaddling clothes , and
the white mnn was a stranger here , a real
drama of llfo was enacted upon a rude stngo ,
the scenlo effects of which , being furnished
hy nature.
The actors in this real drama of llfowhich
was witnessed by your correspondent's in
formant , who was at that time nn attache of
old Fort Kearney , were untutored in tbo flue
art of the mimic stage , for they were aoori-
( jines , who claimed tribal relations with the
Otoes and Pawnees , and ia those days had
their abode comfortably , and sometimes un
comfortably near Nebraska City.
The drama was a rough imitation of the
parts of Uomoo nud Juliet , nnd Its tr.igio
ending not unlike tbo last sccno at the tomb
of the Capulcta.
The fair Juliet in this real drama was
known by a name not so euphonious , but
probably more appropriate , for she proved
the "Wild Gooso" of the chase , as well as the
Wild Geese of the Pawnees , nnd her Itonioo
was a bloodthirsty Otoo Indian , known to
the natives round about as Hog Mouth.
Ills Indian title was moro rcilned and
harder to pronounce , but wus abbreviated by
tbo settlers to plain Hog Jiloutli for con
venience sake , because his strikingly hum- ]
some fcatuics suggested the porcine patro
nymic.
The other star actor of this star company
was ono Eagle Eye , a I'awuoa bravowho was
known as the laziest Indian in the territory ,
and yet the smoothest tbief in all the settle-
mcnt.
mcnt.Whllo Eagle Eye loved the Wild Geese of
his tribe with all the fervor , n lazy , thieving.
Indian was capable of , yet It was no circum
stance when compared with his hatred for
the handsome Hog Mouth of the Otocs.
The latter gentleman owed hln facial de
formity to a midnight attack nt some
earlier period , nnd ho possessed a secret
Dullovothat Kaglo Eye should bo held re
sponsible for his deformity.
It was apparent that wnllo they wcro both
in love with Wild ( Jooso , they had 110 love
for each other , and it occasioned llttlo talk In
the village \vhou Kaglo Kyo crawled into the
settlement ouo line morning with his body
punctuiod with holes , for It was known that
Hoi ; Mouth c-.irrlcd a wicked knife.
Nor was It a surprho after Eagle eye had
recovered , to learn that Hog Mouth's ugli
ness had Increased and that ho was minus
ono eye.
Hut thcscsklrmlshcswcro only tbo advance

Wllk Goose was partial to the Otoo bravo ,
and bcr I'awnco admirer sought for bloody
revenge. Ono night In the full of n year hi

tents of her people to meet her picturesque
Otoo lover. The wandered along tlio towering
blutfs that skirt the murky Missouri on
Greggsport bill , unconscious of the fact that
behind them death lurked in the person of
Eagle Kyo.
The attack must have been quick and < lo-
cislvo , for when the dead bodies of Hog
Mouth and Wild Geese \\cro found thy next
morning there wax no evidence of a struggle.
They had mot a swift and sudden death at
the hands of the murderer.
Eagle IS.VQ disappeared from tuo sccno of
action and \vo uuver ngulu neon in the sottlo-
incnt , but it was generally believed tbut ho
had met his deserved futo nt the bands of his
own people.
Hoi ; Mouth and Wild Geese were burled
together xvhoro they were found , with a complete -
plote outfit to start housokeLMiIng In tha
happy hunting grounds , nnd their bones re
mained undisturbed until n short time ago
when their burial place was needed for mod
ern improvements , and it is believed tbat tha
skeletons recently unearthed at that spot
