Major C. T. Piotou is manager of the
ocate tiotel at Denlsou, Texas, which
the traveling men say is one of the best
hotels in that section. In speaking of
Chamberlain's Oolto, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, Major Pioton says : "I
have used it myself and in my family
-^for several years, and take pleasure in
saying thatel consider it an infallible
care for diarrhoea and dysentery. I
always recommend it, and have fre- i
qnently administered it to my quests 1
? in the hotel, and in every case it has i
proven itself worthy of unqualified en- '
dorsement." For sale by all druggists, i
Engaged Ones In Society.
An engaged girl may receive her future
husband alone In her mother's
drawing room, though it is requisite fit
I some time during this daily visit after
a considerate cough outside the portieres,
or preliminary rattling of a door
knob for the maternal dignity to hover
a moment on the threshold. Oat of
consideration of her lover's feelings she
does not receive her young men friends
save on her -4 '
. unj ?b UUUH.
She acoepts no invitations, exoept to
gatherings of her own sex, where he Is
not inoladed and devotes every attention
to his family, with peonliar conrtes'es
to his parents.
It is considered most important that
together they attend ehnrch at least
ODce every Snnday. They may drive,
walk and bicycle alone, bat mast take
an obligiog younger menber of the
family along to the theater, opera and
concerts. It is permitted them to go to
a dinner party with only her maid's
company, yet to a ball an older woman
relative is the proper companion, and
auy demonstrations of affection is public
are utterly disoountenanoed.
Discussion has raged high at times on
the question of jutt what part an engaged
pair have a right to take in the
frivo<it'e9 of society, and of late it has
been satisfactorily decided that when
attending a dancing party the happy
coaple should take a few turns together
in a round dance, with partners of tneir
own choosing, end then talr? thai*
leave. Ah to the exchange of Rifts between
these young people a new and
very sensible dec'slon has been reached
respecting their proper t estowal and
value.
The engagement ring may b6 as
splendid or simple affair as the man's
taste aud pocket can afford, while in
exchange may be given a thin dish of
ivory on which is painted a fair faoe,
shut into a red leather, heart rbaped
ou>e. This esse is just large enough to
fit nictly into an inside waietooat pocket
end closes with a look, of which only
toe owner knows the spriDg. Daring
the weeks of engagement an abundance
of flowerB, fruit, books, bonbons and
odds end ends of brio-a-brao are tokens
proper to lay on the shrine of love,
but not until the week before the wedding
ought jewels to he given, for beyond
her engagement ring none of them
can be used by the reoipient, aud in
case of any rupture of the agreement
the return of aaah gifts is an awkward

It is possible te craek a costly vase so
flinely that it eannot be notioed by
the closest scrutiny; but let this be
done again and again in different directions,
end.some day the vessel will
suddenly fall to pieces at a touoh, and
without a sound.
When we hear of kaome one who
has had a lifelong reputation for good
character and consistent living suddenly
falling into shameful sin, we are
uooaea ana scandalized, and puzzled.
If we knew all, we should find that
the fall has pnly been sadden in Its
in inlfestations; right away back In
the life there are a thousand "craoked"
Commandments, and the final public
exposure is bat the falliag of the vase
to pleoes, whose beauty has long been
a lie and pretenoe.
This is unquestionably the prime
lesson we should learn from the exposure
and punishment of Jabez Balfour.
His fall, at the time when the "Liberator"
exposures took place, was a
problem to many. We now see the
meaning of It all. By reading the
evidence at the trial just cooolnded,
we can see how bis career was a slow
but sure descent into evil; one fraud
leading to another insensibly, till at
last the edifice of wrong which he had
reared with such amazing skill, toppled
over like a castle of nerds. He
cracked one and another of the Commandments,
