There Is uo doubt about It that the
■tugs sets tile fashions Fur the last
fear sensebt we litre ss regularly looked
for the coming or the English oom
pauics as a standard of lieauly as we
do lo the cimlug of the season# to
decide what shall and what shell not
be worn. All nlong tbe preference lo
type of woman has been given lo the
bloudo, but tbe last smart English
company that made a specialty of ex
hibiting beautiful wutneu had but uoe
blood# iu the group, and she was any
thing but a pale blonde. Tim d ly of
the brunette lisa come. She Is of th*
dark bair io soft, full ripples, of gn at
big dark eyes or glowing checks, and
of Intense expression Is in favor, while
the Intellectual blind* le given tbe
gu-liy. However, though fashion may
decree one thing human unlurw will
always have Its lunlug, and there will
be men who, wlivtber Dame Fashion
approve* or nut, will lean toward
blonde* tie net u rally a* they do to ruu
shiue. These aie the men w!i» ap
prove of tbe natural blonde, not of the
one whose hair Is the result of peroxide
of hydrogeo, whose lashes and brows
are cultivated; and whose akin is made
the pink shade that It Is by the use of
vsiloua powder* Mini liquids. A
recent book on beauty telhi that with
Civilisation came hloudes; that as the
brain of women grew stronger her liair
gri-w paler nud that aim is in her savage
stale when she is u brunette. This is
a direct contradiction to the old Idea
lliuf heaven provided food, and the
devil furnished cooks, and, ennsi quiwit
ly. when women began to cat cooked
food the grew pale In color. The most
interesting question aliout blondes and
bin nolle* is that of density of revllug.
Every woman wa<ds tu know which
can hold lh» affections of a man tlie
longest, ihs blunde or the bruuvlte.
Tbe vote is undoubtedly In fuvor of
Uo blonde, as far as holding tbo man
goes, hot in favor of the hrunetlu as
far as the affections are concerned.
THE nLOSIlE'S SYSTEM.
Two poeitlve I)pet, the blondest of
tin* blondes and I lie darkest of the
brunettes, were talking of it. Said the
blonde: “You brunettes always make
tile mistake of living loo affect lunate
and allowing yroar affection to express
Itself In words as well aa In action.
You convince a mau ihat he It the one
object in yonr life and all that you live
for. lie la so certain that be grows
Indifferent. He wearies of your aareat
es. lie Urea of your sweet words.
Y'ou see, you gltr him too much plum
pudding, and lie does not appreciate it.
Now, the way to keep a mau la to
make him lore you, but you must not
love him too nurli. Lrt him realise
that be la secondary to yonr dogs, your
frocks, and yonr books. When he is
with vou, bo at your beat ami yout
brightest, but when you shew him a
favor make him feel It keenly. Write
bright charming notes to him, but
never put ‘1 love yon’ on paper.
“But,” answered the brunette. “1
am so perfectly devoted to the man I
love that I would trust him with any
thing. 1 would write anything l felt,
and I am snro nobody would see the
letters but his own di-nr self and that
lie would understand them.
“Flow shout his valety" asked the
blonde. “And suppose be shonld change
his mind or you should change yoora;
each would many somebody else, and
some other woman would have the
pleasure of reading those letters and
utilizing thorn ? For my part. I al
ways follow tbo advice of the French
diplomat, who said. ‘Never write a
letter, and never destroy a letter.’ ”
norm TnoucHTS oar lovb.
Tfi® brunette looked crestfallen.
TUe blonde looked sweetly Judicial.
And a llltla while after the believing
brunette beard that ibe one man to
whom she gave her adoration bad not
beeu tba men’s sapper the night be
fore. Instead he had bean one amuug
a party of admirers who bad given a
theatre and supper party to tho far
sighted blonde. 80 they go on talking
about blondes and brunettes, nod the
man who la not In love aaks: "What la
loveY” Hero la an auswer: Love la a
selfish desire on the part of oae person
U» monopolize all the lime, attention,
und charms of auotber. It is spoken
of km being everlasting, and yet men
Just about tbrlr summer loves and their
winter loyea and Usiok a 1’reildenUl
election or a rise or fall in stocks more
interrsting than any love that was ever
Indulged In. Homo foul of a man com
mits suicide—rays be dors It for love,
when it la really for lack of bratus.
homo fool of n woatau runs in debt
baying new frocks, spends tier time
before a locking glam, sod all been use
she wishes to oiaks a mao love bee.
"Duliter lovel” says a man. ••Give
me comradeship. 1 want to frcl that I
esn bs pleasant with a women; that
wb can enjoy the same thing*, discuss
I bn tame questions, wttlioal all tile
fulderol nonsense railed lore.”
"My master,” says 1, -you think
yuu want companionship and affection
— what Its wauls is love and devotion.
He thinks that everything elae in life
- protoplasms and meleora and politics
and all lh« rest of the nniiaenaa
shoukl come before lore. Where In
the world have hia eyes heea Y It is
true that crime* have been committed
for love bat util an many good thluga
bare been d<w>e for Its sake ! There
have been self drnlal and nnsrlOabneea
There has been lha giving up of giant
hopes, and sometime* the absolute
killing of one’s heart’s desire, for the
sake of dear love. The world coo Id no
longer exist wltboot love than It conk)
without south I or
n*n it eaKTiuwwTAi..
You can talk about patriotism.
You can rest oo yonr mentality. But
yoa will saver find that either of tlieee
will give yuu the same pleaaute. nor
anywhere near it, that cornea when
yoa have yoar urm aroaad Ibe special
small vwaao and look down Into ayaa
that tars to you with davotlou. Aa
for tlie love written about by Hie la
diva who or* very Intense, 1 have noth
ing to say. It Is much more written
about thou lived. Although raauy
aloe bare been oommilted iu Ibe name
of love, there have been a lot a tore of
good deeds done, sod on the greet rec
ord book tlie good will Wot out tbe
bid. A woman a* naturally needs
lore ss she due* bread and butter, and
when she doesn’t got It her life Is a
barren one, without any of the swret
dowers or rich fruit with which It
should be garnished. Sentimental?
Perhaps so; but I have a great number
of noble predecessors, and I ara wllltug
to pul myself down as believing In
love Qrsl. forauiojt, auJ always.
I don’t like a garret. I. ecu use 1 atn
uol sitting enough to climb raauy
efalit; still f had better be there mid
have the love than reside to tlie durst
second story front with real l*oe cur
tains and Indifference. Men Ilka to
say that when inverty comes lovo dis
appears Now every man who makes
lliui assertion knows that ho Is a down
right fibber, for women have slunk by
meu through the direst sort of povsrty,
have tried to make things batter, and
have usually succeeded. If you will
n-mrmler, you never heard of a raau
stiivlog to make built t-nd* meet. It
is always a woman. My fnond. if you
can get tbe love of a good woman, yoo
have got the best thing lu life, nod
from tlm king on lits throne to the

"IIujA. bark, tbe Coal ilo bark;
TBa buralar. hatv t-umoto town.''
I'or fifteen reus this Iras been «n ur.
(lerly, peaceable aud boneel town. Kver
>luoe tbe saloon* were' abollabrd tlmre
baa been no disturbance of tbe public
tranquillity. Daring ell that lime nur
door* have not been locked at night
nor Ims our chicken roost been robbed
by tbe fowl Jnvnder. Tbe presence of
our faithful dog may have been our
protectlou. for Utvre Unvo beau aoiue
faw ohickeus stolen In these pari a Onr
neighbor, Charley Patcmon, auffrred
enme In that way uutll he bought the
old gallows on which u mail liuug n few
year* ago and built a chicken huuss of
the timber. Since then he cau hardly
g>-ta darkry to put olilckeoi iu it by
dsy, much Iras to take theta oat by
night. But our nogrors In aud around
Cartersville are a clever, indnatricus
people and as buoral as mankind are
generally. The domestic servant* will
take some liberties with little tblugs
that they think we won’t ioIm; but
they have runny good trail* that are a
set-off. and so we compromise on gen
eral principles.
But now the burglars have come to
town aud alarmed the whole commu
nity. X believe they ootns from up
north where every bad thing oomee
from, evon to bad weather. The other
day a tramp came to our Itonte and
waked lor something to eat. lie tva*
fairly good look inj aul well dreaasd.
My wife got blue a luoeti and asked
him where hla home war, and where
b* was going. lie smiled nud said be
turd no home, ami was raised in an
oipliuu aayluui up north and was going
to All iota in aesrc.'i of work.
u.»*ao you travel,” old site, “If
jou lisw.no money V”
'•Well, 1 rid* on the freight* until
they put me off,” >10 Mid. "and than 1
wait for nnother one an-i ride aonva
mow. I am just taking a little trip
now to see the country."
There were two of these fellows in
town aud they took the rounds asking
for something to eat aud always got it.
My opinion is that they are profession
al thieves aud their purpose In calling
st a i tusoy bouse* is to prospect the
premises. The ulght after they were
at our bouse burglars entered four
house* aud stole money. They took
!M>0 from under s sleeping man's pillow
and smaller sums from the pockets of
other men. A few nights after thev
entered three house* aud took a flue
guld watch from under a hauker's pil
low and the ovxl ulght a watch aud
aome money at uuotlier place. They
lake no clothing nor anything to eat.
They are while folks, l tell you, and
are experts in their bssluosi.
Well, of course, the whole oo cornu
mty 11 aroused, and especially the
womou. My wife Is oot a timid wo
man. 8he is more afraid of snake*
than of men, but she, too, got aUruied
and made me get the hammer and the
screwdriver and some bolls and nails
and Ox up evary door and window.
Bhe held tbe lamp and watchod oae all
touod from room to room, and I
rnatbvd a great blood blister ou my
Unger and It hurts yet. When all was
done to her satisfaction and we got
ready to retire, aha suddenly told me
not to lock the back ball d.air, for Un
do Syam had to oome in there In tbe
morning to make a Ore. Considerate
women! tjbs knew that I didn't like
to get up out of a warm bed to unlock
the do ir. lieckon the thluka the bur
glar* wouldn't be so impolite a* to
come In at the hack door. Bit they
don't get any watch from uuder my
ptllow.for I haven't gut any. Forty
year* ago they got mine jost that way
In old Dr. Thompson's I hi tel In Atlan
ta. and 1 have n» ivr earned one since,
They got my pocket book, tos, and a
link mousy nod aome valuable papers.
They were from up north and were
verr clever men, considering, for In
about a week they sent me nil toy pa
per* back through the mail and tl*
letter was postmarked Philadelphia.
They will given mau hack everything
they can’t use. Bill Port told me that
they were a kind hearted set of thieves
and h* had known them to lean ovsr
ami kiss a sleeping man after tlwy had
rubbed him.
So, it la while folk* who are it ruling
limes valnahlo Ullage. Negroes
haven't got above clitokensaod turkey*
y«t. I heard the other day of *o old
darkey who prayed every night duriug
i Christ atae for tbe f<ord to tend a tur
key to him, hot the turkey didn’t
came, aod so he changed his prayer
ami asked the J.nrd to send him to «
turkey and hi* prayer was answered
LUst very night. A negro don't han
ker after gold watelies. lie wants
something to est.
Hut now I want to know what I* all

education. I thought It was Just an
other fad and would s Km p tm away,
but It wauls to get trigger and Irixter
the more they talk about It. ‘One
