When circuit court reconvened j
Thursday for the purpose of tak- a
ing up certain railroad cases that ^
had been set for this day, some ,
of the parties were not ready for «
trial and the cases were contin- *
pod till the next term of court, ,
being set for the second week. r
The petit jury, whose panel J
had been completed by the addi- t
tion of six new members, was i
excused until Monday and court . *
later adjourned over until that f
day. «

A VALUABLE REPUTATION. J

_ 1
“A business matter took me out <
west last fall,” said the well-known at- ■
torney, who was in a reminiscent mood, 1
relates the Detroit Free Press, “and l
l took advantage of the opportunity 1
to make a trip into the mountains for a
week’s hunting. I hired an old man
to act as u guide and do the cooking,
and I enjoyed myself to the utmost.
The mountains were full of big game,
but the state had lately passed a law
prohibiting the killing of deer, which
was particularly aggravating, as we
were continually running across them.
Now I am a respecter of the law—un
less I am retained on the other side^
and I found it hard work to refrain
from shooting at the deer that present
ed themselves as if they knew that they
were free from danger. But along to
ward the last our meat ran out, and 1
told the old man that w>e would' have
to have some fresh meat even if we had
to kill a deer. He agreed with me, and
If. wn sn’t ten minutes later that a deer
eprang up ahead of us. I wasn’t pre
pared for him, but the guide was, and
he made a clean miss, much to his dis
gust. That was the last deer that we
paw. and we returned without having
broken the law. But no sooner had we
arrived' at the point where we had
» started from than the old man was ar
rested for killing a deer, i*nd I took it
1»pon myself to defend him, as I knew
him to be innocent. I took the stand
in his behalf, and thinking It
best to make a clean breast of the mat
ter, I admitted that he had shot at
a deer, but missed him. Then I put
the old man on the stand to cor.
rdborate my testimony.
“‘You admit having shot at the
deer?’ said I, when the old man took
the stand.
“ ‘Thet's what!’ he answered.
“‘And you missed him?’ I contin
ued.
“ ‘No, slree!’ he shouted. ‘I killed
him, b’gee.!’
“That took the wind out of my sails
nnd T collapsed, the result being that
the old man was fined $25.
I “After the trial I took him aside
and asked him what he meant by
swearing to a lie and convicting him
keif.
| “ ‘See hyar,” he answered, T’ve bin
lyin’ fer 20 years about never havin’
missed a deer thet I shot at, an’ ye
don't think thet I would ruin my rep
utation fer $25 do ye?” *

and bounded off again.
Blushing, the girl, in her perplexity,
-east a wistful glance at the dog in the

IbMng Wnd over her mouth and kept it
tjvfcre, while she started in pursuit of
the dog. The chase was exciting,
pedestrians paused to watch. After
many turns, rushes, dodges and halts
the pretty maiden caught the dog at
Tenlh street. The animal fell pros
trate at her commands.
“Drop it. Fido; drop it!” she cried.
The dog obeyed, opened its mouth
and dropped upon the pavement with
great reluctance the proud mnldeu’»

THE WOMANLY WOMAN.
Sentlrnras and R«8**m»a( Are Ik*
Chief Element* hi Her
Edecutlon.
The big American banquet hall of
the Manhattan hotel was crowded
with members of the Emma Willard
association and their friends on the
occasion of the thirteenth annual ban
quet of the organization. Among the
speakers were Chancellor MacCracken.
Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey,
and Miss Spence, reports the New
York Tribune, of recent date. “Hun
dreds of young men and women," said
M.ss Spence, "who have received their
eollege degrees are not really edu
Sated. They are thoroughly instruct
ed, and perhaps amply equipped from
a technical standpoint But education
means so much more than this. It
means individual development, cul
ture, ^fcfcracter. In every walk in life,
to accomplish our purpose, we must
know clearly at the start what we
mean to do. If colleges and schools
would really succeed in turning out
educated men and women in the high
est sense of the word, they must first
define that term. Ie It to stand for
nothing more than instruction in facts
or other people’s ideas? Or is it to
include soul culture, life broadening
and true development and efficiency1!
To my mind mothers are largely re
sponsible for a child’s (especially a
daughter’s) aimless life. The sole de
sire of, alas! so many, Is that their
children shall have a good time while
they’re young. And this Is right
enough, but they should remember
that the good time of the butterfly is
not necessarily the good time of the
girl, and that the true good time and
growth of character are not incompat
ible.
“True womanliness should be one of
the chief elements of a young wom
an’s education. The unpardonable sins
of womanhood are hardness and
coarseness, dearth of gentleness and
any guise of selfishness. A virtue that
should be earnestly cultivated by the
woman of to-day is a greater sincer
ity in the manners and customs of
society. This is the contribution all
true women should make to tne so
ciety of their time. Society needs gen
tle women In the true sense of that
word. Only that education is worth
while which stands for service to the
world—in some form, material or im
material, and the latter is often the
more real of the two. In fact, the
Ideal, whatever it be, Is ttoe real—
an oft said saying, but one as often
forgotten In the details of daily life.
"It Is the privilege and no less the
duty of every one who aspires to ha
called an educator to ever hold up this
vision of the ideal, ever ‘follow the
gjeam’—live the great revelation In
the details of daily life,”
AN UNLUCKY DEAL.
fllaatrntlnK the Mistake of a M»*
Who Tries to Help Around
the House.
When a married man gets out of hU
orbit, or off his half of the domestic
•arpet, so to speak, the consequences
are always more or less disastrous to
him, says the Detroit Free Press.
“We’ve just moved,” said an unhap
py-looking man in a little neighbor
hood crowd of men who were buying
their evening cigars at a corner to
bacco shop. “Or, rather, we are ha’f
moved. Half our household truck hat
gone over to the new place, and bafc
Is still with us. Then I sold a lot, t«x*
and got myself in awful hot water.
You know how It Is when a man starts
out in his own house to do thin**
without asking his wife."
"Oh, yes; we know,” echoed all the
others.
“In our stable attic,” the man con
tinued, “we had a lot of old stuff
stored. I've heard my wife say a dozen
times that we must look It over and
sell a good deal of it the next time we
moved. To-day she was over to the
other house, and as I was kind of stand
ing round, not knowing where to take
hold next, along came a junk man
through the alley. I hailed him and
took him up in the stable attic; there
I sold him an old table, an old high
chair, a battered old crib and a car
pet. He gave me six dollars for the lot.
I fourth a box of old battered brass trays,
plaques and picture frames after he was
gone, and peddled those off at a nickel
apiece to some neighborhood children
... x _ 11 J . ..
wno were ragging mo aivuuu
“Of course, a man never really knows
what he has sold until his wife tells
him; and to-morrow I’m to chase all
lay after that junk man. I’ve sold our
host parlor carpet, taken up when sum
mer came in, my wife’s own highly
treasured Infant’s high chair and a
crib which was also her mother’s, and
a real mahogany table she had stored
away to have done over. She herself
had paid nine dollars for the old tables
and was glad to get It at that. Old ta
bles are getting scarce, she says."
“How about the brass objects?” some
one asked.
“Oh, I’ve got to go around and buy
those hack, too,” the man replied, sad
ly. "They were high-art beaten brass
nondescripts which my wife made her
self at the age of 13, and she says her
mother wouldn’t part with them for
anything.”__
