Dr. and tirs. Ron land on Trial.
The trial of Dr. and Mrs. D.

court was begun Monday. At
noon only one juror had been
chosen.
While the evidence in this
case has been heard several
times there Is yet mini f est much
interest in the case and the at

court is large. Both the pris
oners look well and show no ill
effects from having been confin

consume the entire week.
Sudden Death of D. F. Vickcrs.
While sitting in a chair at his

some time, but the end was not

he seamed some better Sunday

noble to take the common clay
that was offered her. There are
women who have led lonely lives
unmoved, because of faithless
men, and other women because
their hearts were buried in the
gravj of their dead lovers. Very
often a woman's spinsterhood is
an offering that s'ie lays on the
altar of her family: Someone,
perhaps was the oldest child, and
slaved away her youth and
beauty and the spring-time of
life, in which she might have
mated, shut up in an office or
school-room, toiling to make
money to educate her little
brothers and sisters at home:
until she has passed from being
a woman into being a mere
machine, and her marrying days
are over.
Then, again, perhaps she was
the last child left at home with
mother and father, after all the
other children have gone from
the old family home and reared
homes of their own. Love flut
tered for a while outside her
hearts door. too. and she knew
that she had but to open the case
ment and let it in, but she never
did it. She could not forsake
the dear old people that clung to
her as helpless as children. She

an old maid. Oh! the injustice
of it! Yet no women have done
more for humanity, and for the
individual, nor ever will, than
the old maid reformer and the
old maid aunt.
There is no one to whom we
owe a deeper debt of gratitude,
and no one whom we could not
better spare. Be sure of this:
"God sends old maids into the
world to do the work the rest of
us leave undone." Mav God
bless all old maids.
Now, dear friends, you may
think perhaps, that I am an old
maid for writing this, but you
were never more mistaken in
your dear, sweet li f e. For I cer
tainly intend to marry at some
time or olhcr-if I ever have a
chance.
But I do love an old maid. Be
yond all things, except well -er-old
bachelors; perhaps they
come next I guess.
