HIS THIRST FOR GORE OVERCOME BY • Ople Read Tells How a Wily Sheriff Got the Handcuffs on a Tennessee Desper- ado Who Resisted Arrest—A Capital Character Sketch. Bill Kinny, of Dry Fork, killed a promi- nent man of the community, and the au- thorities, after some little meditation, de- cided that he ought to be arrested. But Bill objected, and when three deputy sheriffs called on him he laid a Winchester rifle across one corner of his homestead, killed one of the deputies, and so painfully wounded the other two that they strolled ' back to the Shady Grove court house. Sev- ealth eral days later, while Bill was sitting in oted front of his door, Mark Townsend, the sheriff went in chief, walked up to the fence and lazily ation placed his arms on the top rail. Bill reached back and took up his rifle, ., as "Good mornin', Bill." 00M- , "Hi, Mark." "Had a good bit of a frost last night." and "Yas, ruther. Which way you travelin' Mark. "Oh, no way in particular. Lowed you mout be lonesome an' I thought I'd drap over an' talk with you a while. Don't make no difference how lively a feller is he's apt to git lonesome once in a while, Specially this time of the year." "I reckon that's true," Bill replied. "Some fellers come out here the other day, an' one of them got so lonesome that he jest nachully had to lay down." "So I hearn," said the sheriff. "By the way," he added, "them fellers that you speak about wanted youyito go to Shady Grove with them, didn't they (" "Vas, they 'lowed that a jedge down thar wanted to make my acquaintance." "You don't say so," exclaimed the sheriff. "W'y the jedge is a mighty big man, au' I think yog'd like to meet bin, Bill." "I would, but you see I ain't in society this year." "Sarter retired, air you?" "Yes; thought l v5" a vagettin' a lectle too old furh t e bright foolishness hshnese an Jailer re• tri - -in's of- this'll -6r?) "Yes, that mout be," the sheriff replied. "A feller does withdraw might'ly as be gits 7-<4. i The voters' lists used in the re- cent general elections contained 1,060,000 names, divided as fol lows: Ontario 546,000; Quebec, 305,000, Prince Edward Island, 24,000; Nova Scoia, 85,000; New Brunswick, 70,000; Manitoba, 46, 000: British Columbia, 14,000. It will be seen that Ontario, Que- bec and Prince Edward Island, which the Government failed to carry, furnished 875,004 of the votes, while the Government Provinces only furnished 215,080 votes. The New York Press, a protee- tionest •jour•nal,and believed to ex- press the opinions of President Harrison, says it is bound to re- mind a certain -portion of the public of facts, that seem to have dropped out of phenomenally short memories. "One of those facts," says the Press,"is that the Secretary of State plainly gave Sir John McDonald to understand, while the Dominion campaign was in progress, that the sort of reciprocity which the Conserva tive party in Canada' the, it- self tself to favor—'reciprocity in nat- ural products only,—was a. thing that this country would never ser iously consider. Tho Premier 1•nd therefore ample warning. Ho could have changed his ground it. he bad so chosen; During all the years in which Sir John hay car- ried the destinies of Canada in his hand or played pitch and to; with them for his own personal ambition, he has never shown the least hesitation about shifting .'•out on any -question when ho :saw an and to 'tae gained by so doing. But in this case he chose stick to his narrow platform, and he succeeded in once more es- • caping political shipwreck on it. Now ho must abide by tho result. IIe and his ti iumphant party stand pledged to offer us only such a measure of commercial union as he knows and Hs party ought to know, unless willfully deceived, that we cannot accept or so much seriously consider."

I nevertin- kered after these here fellers that pride themselves on their book l'arnin'." "I don't exactly crave them," the sheriff rejoined, "wolloping" his tobacco about in his mouth, "but still I think we ought to meet them once in a while. But say, Bill, there's a man down at Shady Grove that I do want you to meet." "Who is he(" "Sam Powers." "He's the jailer, ain't he(' "Yes, au' the best one you ever seen." "So they say," Bill' replied, fondling his rifle. "In fact them fellers that was here the other day wanted me to meet. him." "So I hearn," said the sheriff; "but I lowed that webby they didn't extend the iuverta- tion in a soft an' gentle way." "Oh, I didn't have to fault to find with the invertation. I gest didn't wanter go, an' sorter pulled back a little, an' then one of them laid down an' the other two limped inight'ly." "Stn ei hearn," said the sheriff. "Still I thought there moot be a easier an' smoother way of puttin' the invertation. Gentleness always pays. You can sometimes lead a man with a string of beads when you couldn't drive him with a hoop pole. You recollec' old Wash Bowles that was once the sheriff of this county, don't you?" " Mighty well." "Ah, hah; well that old feller' had more gentleness an' consideration for the feelin's of other folks than any num I ever seen.

While in the office of an uptown hotel recently I chanced to overhear a con- versation between two men which prov- ed very amusing from subsequent de- velopments. Both persons in question wore attired in the latest style aljd drawled their words with Murray' 83111 correctness. They also affected that peculiar vacuity of countenance innocehtly supposed to be fashionable in England, but which in reality exists only in alunatic asylum or an institution for the care of the weak minded. They were discussing a' new book which dealt with some of the rougher sides of life. "It was excruciatingly amusing,” re- marked one specimen, "to wead of how some persces in Boston who made some pwetensions socially were compelled to do their own washing. Anotha family couldu.'t tris?} avant so they`hlfdto dQ their own cooking," This seemed so ..:5anausing'l that•both-laughed'-as loudtys- as their weak physique and strong con- ventionality would allow. The other individual, who appeared to be in the last stages of paresis, respond- ed with a similar anecdote and the two wandered out into Broadway. There was an old New Yorker in the lobby who happened to be familiar with the antecedents of both, and lie gave nye some of their family History. IIe of the "excruciating" amusement formerly lived in the tenement house district, not far from Cherry trill. His father had been a machinist's helper and earned $7 a week. His mother took in washing to help support the family. Later his father invented a trivial article which brought hint considerable money. IIe invested in real estate and made a fortune. The family deserted Cherry Hill and now live on Madison avenue. That iss the history of the young gen- tleman tlenan who saw so much amusement in people doing their ow'u washing. The worthy parent of the other made several contracts with the city intik!. the Tweed ring and then retirwl from busi- ness.—New York 1leraId. ;A Canadian "Hired" Girl, I have a "hired girl" in this city who (toes not take offense when alluded to in such a manner. In fact, she consented that I might tell about her and that I might call iter a"hired girl." I3orn the daughter of a Canadian farmer, Laving a district school education and well versed in housework from building fires, sweeping and washing dishes, to canning fruit and making bread; butter and cheese, she came to Detroit to get an edu- cation. There isn't anything in the line of housework that she cannot do well and she earns $4 a week and her board and lodging, with one afternoon and evening and Sunday afternoon and evening each week, to herself. She has worked in one family over five years, she has nearly $500 in the 'bank, she owns a typewriting machine and can "take" as a stenographer nearly 200 words a minute. In addition she is a graduate of a business college and has attended night public school regularly during the past winter. She has, be- sides all of the things mentioned, had several offers of marriage during the past two or three years, none of which were accepted. What does she purpose. doing? Her secret is this: Her father, not a wealthy man, was able and desir- ed to give one of his two daughters a thorough education. Ile couldn't afford to educate both girls, so the older one, the "hired girl" referred to, told }rim to educate the younger one. This the father is doing, and the "hired gird" is keeping pace with her sister.—Detroit Free Press. The Curious Mistake of a .Tapaaese Lady. Assimilation to European ways is not always a success, Big blunders occa- sionally- occur. A Japanese lady, wish- ing to be in the pink of fashion, ordered, regardless of expense, a splendid outfit from Paris. When it arrived she sup- posed that the articles were packed in exactly the order in which they were to be worn. She therefore donned a superb brocaded silk dress, and then, so to speak, worked downward, until her final garment was one whichoannot bespeci- fied further than by saying that it was white and made of calico. This, with some diilietity, site chew onlover all the other clothes.

FADS, FANCIES, AND FASHIONS THE GENTLER SEX. OF A Dilflculty Encountered by Many Mar- ried Women Which Seems to be Well Met 1n the Suggestions of "The Wo- man About Town." The Woman About Town has received a letter signed "Doris Spenlow" which is too long to publish, but which anrouuts to about this. A married woman, who has boarded all the years of her married life, now finds herself, at her husband's earnest request, at the head of an apartment home. During the days of their boarding house lite, she says, she had leisure to read and to dress well, and to make a not unpleasing figure iu the life of her husband and her friends. Since their home -making experi- ment all these possibilities have faded away. They are not able to keep servants, and what with being cook and housemaid, the mistress finds herself unable to wear her pretty clothes, read the new books, or visit her friends. Her hands are swollen and dis- figured, and, worse than all, she gets so tired that she has wholly lost her ambition and her pride. "It seems to me," she says, "that I must give up either our home or all my life outside our home, for as it is lam wholly absorbed, both mentally and physically, in my house and its cares." This is a state of perplexity in which many a woman who marries a man of moderate means finds herself. It seems to The Woman that the cause of it is displayed in the lines which she 'has quoted—the absorption both physical and mental in the house and its cares. Here is a family of two persons and the care of six or eight rooms. Is it necessary that these should absorb one person's entire life for twelve or fifteen hours a day? It seems as if here there were displayed an over - nicety and exactingness that are very fine, to be sure, butes() not worth securing at - the price of all one's life. Tha great art of keeping house cosily and well, consists in the ability to discriminate between what is important and what is not. For many house- ersttr - @P e�rlalty.. of-2ettirig— things—go' fs" greater than the duty of keeping things up. There is an art even iu dusting a room— the art of knowing what pieces will bear to be neglected. It looks as if Dora Speulow might be one of the over -nice housekeepers .who, instead of taking their home duties rationally and easily, make a fetich of them and bow down to them and serve them, instead of making them render service unto thein. This condition of thiugs is to be remedied only by a housekeeper's taking herself firmly in hand; by laying out so many hours a day in which her housework has got to be done or go undone, reserving certain hours for her old-time habits of self-care and self -cultiva- tion. 1f she adheres rigidly to this and still keeps her conscience abouther housekeeping, she will find that she will develop a way of looking at things in perspective which will readily distinguish the unimportant from the important. Suppose there is occa- sionally a spot on the kitchen door, or sup- pose the china does stand round promiscuous- ly in the china closet instead of being syst('uatically itacke.i away. That isn't going to mor your whole life. But to find yourself utterly worn out in mind and body at the end of a day; to, see as you say you do, that you art' losing your good inks, your interest iu the outside work], your ambition and your pride— surely that is not a matter to take lightly. And this you see. Can't you see the other, and if you are given to that nicety of work which is -no better, after all, than just pot- I tering, learn to correct itt And then there is doubtless just this to be taken into account in your case. It is very probable that, your long boarding house expe- rience, which gave you all your time for your- self, has led you to look with something like terror upon definite and hnperative employ- ment for every day in the week. But definite and imperative work for each day is just as good a thing for women as for men. It is probable that your husband spends seven or eight hours out of each twenty-four at his Work. It is no less incumbent on you to spend four or tWa. You say you are not rich; then you have no right to a life of ease. Take your housework as your work in the World, to be done in a certain time, and done as well as it can be in that time.. Then dismiss it and resume your habits of reading and caring daintily for your own person. Don't make a bugbear of your housework. You will only worry yourself into an un- timely grave if you do. And the worst of that will be that nobody will appreciate your sacrifice.—New York Sun.
