of Mexican lustlce:
"I went to the land ot tho Monte

said the returned traveller, "and was
staying in a little town not' very '
from tho Texas border. One morning
the corpse of a cowboy was found in

the other, side of the Hlo Grande to

proving that the murder had not been

a costly, ery costly, slxshooter, sil

strapped around the deceased. The
finding of the pin was the occasion
of a trial before the -local alcalde, or

. Flossie tossed her pretty bead until
her blonde curls fell over her eye
from which, gleamed a spirit of mis
chief. The first speaker was Miss Tread
way, the girl's aunt, a wealthy woman
of forty years, who had adopted her
after the death of her parents. Flos
sie's fiance, a young doctor, of good
family and some means, was com
pleting a medical course ,in Germany,
and they were to be married as soon
as be received bis foreign diploma.:

had ,ire8dy given
Flossie's honor, at ' which
Miss Treadway had served as
willing chaperon, for sho realized
the brilliant company invited to meet
them regarded her niece as the future
Mrs. Trevor, Nov? we find her reprov.
lng her young relative, with Indif
ferent success. '
"Flossie," said Miss Treadway "I
think you ought to consider Mr.
Trevor's feelings. It Ur not fair to
him; he -does not know about Tom.
Perhaps you had better tell him?"
"And ipotl all my fun? Why, auutK
what a fuss you are making about a
trifle! I cannot mope here .without
men's society, Tom la in Germany, tho
sea divides us, and he la welcome to en
joy himself in like manner. Howevor
there is no prospect of his doing any
thing so sensible. Why, I verily believe
he spends all his leisure time writing
to me. I get so many letters that I do
not read half ot them. And-that re
minds me, one came yesterday when I
was getting ready to go out in the
yacht I haven't read It yet; really, I
had forgotten it"-. ; .;.' '"-: ,'.' '
.When she was alone Flossie curled
her dainty self In a large easy chair
and laughed softly as she recalled her
aunt's words. - :
: "Lose Tom," she repeated. "No
danger of that;' couldn't get rid ofhim
even it I wanted to." Then she fell to
musing, and a tender look came into
her deep blue eyes.. "Dear Tom," she
murmured. "I do love him. I wouldn't
g1vrtbin np for twenty Mr. Trevors!"
she went to, her desk, found the letter,
and having a fine sense of personal
comfort sank back into the soft depths
of the chair, and with a uox of choco
lates In ohe hand, the letter In the oth
er, began to. munch sweets and read.
At nrst Jier expression was slightly
bored, then astonished, and finally she
threw the sweets and letter on the floor
flung herself face down . on a couch
and commenced weeping. The portion
ot Tom's letter which had produced
such dire results ran as follows:- -.
"I had such a strange and exciting
adventure that I feel it my duty to
tell you all about it Tou know that
my hotel Is In one of the best streets
here, and that from my windows I
can see much of the beauty and fash
Ion of ; Berlin. ...ilowever, I never
dreamt of such a vision ot loveliness
aa the piece of femininity whose-acquaintance
I mode yesterday.",!.
At this Flossie's blue eyes-opencd
wide, she sat up, loosed Iter hold on
the chocolates, and ,tead on: '
"The object of "my admiration sat
in her carriage' alone and unattended
just -below my window. ; Suddenly I
neard the rush of a runaway horse
from the opposite direction, and see
ing her alarm, I hastened down the
steps and assisted her to the pave-a
ment 8he smiled sweetly and was"
about to speak when her attendant
returned and she re-entered the car
riage and was rapidly driven away;
not. forgetting to - throw me a kiss
'Just as she was lost to view.
"The world seemed a blank with
out her" (here .Flossie's ' expression
became Indignant); "I found on Inquiry J
thai she was staying at my hotel, and
so' had grounds for hope ot a speedy
meeting. That night, for the first time
la Tears; my dreams were not of you
alone, the beautiful blonde-appeared to
me more than once, always with that
charming smile!".
''Fancy!" exclaimed-Flossie, v
"Today ' the plot has thickened,
and, however painful It may be-for
you to hear it, I feel It' only honora

"Thinking It was the -waiter. I
shouted, 'Come In!' The door opened,
and, to my utter amazement, there
stood the beautiful blonde, all smiles

from the delicious shock, wlilch
thrilled me from head to foot, I In
vited her to a seat on the sofa, and
thenv endeavored to entertain this fairy

"Tom! See, the letter on the floor!"
Mrs. Treadway picked up the letter,
put on hor gUmes and began to read;
at first she looked puzzled, then
amused, and finally she laughed out
right Flossie raised -her head and gazed
at her reproachfully with tear-stained
eyes which looked like wet violets,
and said: "

"Why don't you finish the letter?"
asked her aunt, with a quizzical ex

WORST THAN STAGE FRIGHT.
A Tabli Speaker's liraad at lh Ma
nil Ak rl QnMtlaa.
One of the most effective public
speakers in New York state was tell-
inc some of his experiences a. few
nights ago. - : :
"I got over stage fright a long time
ago," he said, "but there Is one thing
that nearly always breaks me up, and
that is the follow who asks a question
about something foreign, to the line ol
argument I am making. ,
"If a question is asked on the same
subject It does not break the thread of
the discourse. But for a chap to yell
out an Inquiry merely to attract atten
tion to himself and distract the atten-
tion.of the audience from the speaker Is
a thing I have never been able to meet
successfully.
. "It Is a hackneyed saying that any
fool can ask a question. There Is near
ly always one tool at a public meet
ing, and the bigger the fool he the
more consternation he can create.
"I am credited with being quick at
repartee, and a public speaker must
school himself to that, but the fool
question usually floors the best ot us
before we can tire back. The best pub
He speakers usually digest their
thoughts before uttering them, or at
least stick out a few mental sign boards
except on impromptu , occasions,
which are rare, between ourselves.
"When a speaker has put up his sign
boards and is making his jumps from
one to another; and a fool crosses his
path it is disturbing to the best of us.
The speaker who has his audience with
him can generally rely upon the audi
ence' to squelch the tool, but that does
not prevent the 'speaker from becoming
deflected.. The tool has one thought and
anrlnes It The speaker baa a lot Of
thoughts to keep track of.
"I have never stepped before an au
dience in my public career that I did
not wonder right at the start where
the fool was. He has not always ap
nea red to -the audience, but he Is al
ways oresent In my mind. I have spok
en to other public speakers on this
subject and they all admit the same
thing." New York Bun.

Wife
Probably few persons will dispute
the proposition that In common par
lance it a married man speaks ot bis
wife he Intends to refer to her who
la his wife at that time, and does not
contemplate her death and a second
wife, whom he may subsequently
marry. But suppose a married man
effects a policy of Insurance on his
own life under the Married Women's
Property Act, 1882, "for the benot
of bis wife and chlldlren," and after
his then wife's deaf!, the assured mat.
rlos again and has a second family.
Will the second wife and her chl'dren
be entitled upon the death of the hus
band to share In the policy moneys?
This was the question before Mr, Jus
tice Kekewlch In a case at the end of
last week, and he held that the sec
ond wife and her children are en
titled to share. The declstpn appears
to be In accordance with good sense
as well as law. As the learned judge
observed in giving Judgment, the pre
sumption that when a married man
speaks of his wife he Intends his wife
at the time loses weight when an in
strument like a policy of Insurance,
which is lntendod to make provision
for a wife and children after the hus
band's death, has to be construed. The
husband In all probability Intends to
provide for those who survive him,
and for that reason stand In need ot
the provision; end this conclusion la J
strengthened by the reflection that as
he cannot reasonably be supposed
to havo Intended to benefit only the
children living at the date ot the policy
to the exclusion ot after-born children
ot the then existing wife, there ap

BEAUTY IW PURITY
Ancient and Modern Ideas on the Subject.
Time and Disease the Effacing Agents
of Beauty. What Ha3 Science Done ,
' to Restore the Lily and the Rose? ,
Socrates called beanty a short-lived
tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature,
Theocritns a . delightful prejudice,
Tbeophrastns a silent cheat, Carneades
a soliury kingdom. Homer a glorious
gift of nature, Ovid a favor Of the
gods. Aristotle, affirmed that beanty
was better than all the letters of recom
mendation In the world, and yet none
of these distinguished authorities haa
loft us even a hint of how beauty Is to
be perpetuated, or the ravages of sge
and disease defied.' Time soon blends
the lily and the rose Into the pallor of
age, disease dots the lair face with

What must be the-Teeilufcs of those In
whom torturing hnmors have for
years run riot, covering the skin with
scales and sores and ' charging the
blood with poisonous elements' to
become a part ot the system until
death? - It Is vain to attempt to por
tray such suffering. Death in many
cases might be considered a blessing.
The blood and fluids seem to be Im
pregnated with a fiery element which,
when discharged through -the pores
upon the surface ot the body, Inflames
and burns nntll, In his efforts for relief,
th patient tears the skin with his
nails, and not until the blood flows
does sufficient relief come to cause him
to desist. 1
Thus do complexlonal defects merge
Into torturing disease, and piqued van
ity give place to real, suffering. , A
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
to the all-devouring lupus, a patch of
tetter on the palm of the band or on
the limbs suddenly envelops the body
In Its flery embrace, s bruise on the leg
expands Into a gnawing nicer, which

It there were not another external
disease known, ecxema alone would be
a sufficient Infliction on mankind. It
nervailea all classes, and descends Im-
nortiallr through generations. While
anm are constantly enveloped In It,
others have It con lined to small
patches' In the ears, 00 the scalp, on
the breast, on the palms of the hands,
nn the limbs, eta. but everywhere Its
distinctive feature Is a small watery
blister, which discharges an acrid
fluid, causing heat, Inflammation, and
'intense itching.; Blng-w5rm, tetter,
seal led head, dandruff, belong to this
ml and Itching order of diseases.
