THE INCONSISTENT MALE. And the Girl Who Likes to I>o the Talking. "As to the inconsistency of man," began the girl who likes to talk. "Don't you mean the inconsistency of women?" hopefully inquired the masculine listener. ^ "I do not. I mean just what I said! Why, a woman would have to work all day and then overtime to be as inconsistent as a man can be in one short hour! I supv pose you hate the present feminine fashions?" "r?f aili the insane, idiotic and homely styles " began the unwary masculine listener, confused by her sudden switch of conversation. "Turaloo!" chortled the girl who likes to talk. "Of course, you do! You spend all your spare time raving about them and thinking up cutting things to say about the women who s deck themselves so! You wonder and you are seized with fear as to the future, and you are pained and regret to observe! "l? seems to you woman is degenerating and you would like to know i what the world is coming to and why some woman with brains and modes-? ?-> ? ---? orKL ly QOtJbli l ttlivo ttiiu uCij vucoc oa ik/*ters of fashion and dress as men i would like to see her do. 1 "Say?I'd like to see the inside of 1 your head sometimes when you've invited me to go to the theatre and I i came down stairs attired in a gathered skirt five yards around the bottom i edge, fiat-heeled shoes and a poke i ' bonnet with a ribbon band that was i warranted not to jab out anyone's < eye or to require the elevating of the cab rocf. If you didn't have a sudden fit of illness on the spot to prevent your going I'd be awfully surprised. You know perfectly well that < > you'd never have the nerve to walk down Michigan avenue with a girl ! who was so different from everyone ] else that 6he was a regular procession! Now would you?" "Well," began the masculine lis- : \ tener, frowning, "I think you are j somewhat extreme " < "You have to be," she said ruth- ; iessly. "If you aren't a freak of < fashion you have to be a frump be- ] cause you aren't! And I suppose ( you approve of the domestic woman? i You'd like to know what the modern i girls mean by frivoling their time ] away and playing bridge and Hunting bargains and going to matinees and : ? crowding to be manicured instead of i ijr-v * doing it themselves and eating choco- : Ifcte creams, while mother irons their ' party dresses! 1 "Don't open your mouth that way, because those are your very words! I never heard you say them, but no man except a deaf and dumb one ever grows to be 30 without having that kind of an attack! Pretty soon they'll vaccinate against it. 1 "The worst cases moan and sob because the modern woman doesn't put up preserves and sugar cure the . hams and recommend camphorated oil if anyone sniffles! How long would you last if you came to call on me and I entertained you with a sprightly account of how I peeled onions for dinner and cleaned the top shelves in the pantry and how the , juice boiled over on the currants and ! burned and, anyhow, I was afraid the ] stuff was not going to jelly?and that . tomorrow if the sun shone I intended ( hanging out the woolens to prevent -.v. moths?" "Say!" protested the masculine lis- ! V tener. He got no farther. . "I am," the girl who likes to talk told him. "The modern woman does ( all those things, of course, if she is ? any kind of a housekeeper?but she , keeps it dark! She entertains you , with her frivolings! The lady who cure.d hams and made candies didn't , frivol because she hadn't time, and ; somehow I think the men those days , must have led terribly dull lives. And , you do admire the economical girl, , the sort who thinks twice before she spends papa's pennies. She says, ( 'Yes, dear father,' and makes over . i her year before last best dress instead of raging the poor old gentleman into . his grave to buy her something better than anyone else has! I don't notice you flocking in her wake, however! You are right beside little bright-eyes in the slit skirt about twenty inches wide and the hat with t a 1 1-2 foot anaemic feather on it that is warranted to jab out every eye , within a block! Now, if the harbor- . ing of all these contradictory senti- ( ments is not being inconsistent " . i "I am bowed to the ground," said the masculine listener. * "If you will ( listen acutely you can hear my deli- , cately restrained wails of anguish! , I like your conversation, but I'll be hanged if I like your topics.

Then Shoots Constable Who Arrested Him. Honaker, Va., July 10?Word came here today of a man hunt that has been on for three days in the wilds of Russell county. Throngs of men are searching for Dr. J. W. Worth, a physician, who shot and killed William Bail, a constable, who had arrested him* on a charge of kidnapping Louise Harris, the fifteenyear-old daughter of Warren Harris, a stock raiser of the Blue Grass section. No trace of the physician has been found, other than a camping place he had occupied in a lonely spot in the hills about five miles from the scene of the crime. The tragedy has stirred the mountainside, and it is feared the physician will be summarily dealt with if he is captured. It is a tale of mountain jealousy and love for a child that led to the killing. For some time, it ie said, Dr. Worth had been attentive to pretty Louise Harris. Because of her age and the fact that the parents had favored a young farmer as the suitor for their daughter, Dr. Worth was forbidden in the Harris home. Then, it is asserted, he conceived the plan of kidnapping the girl, and about a week ago he is said to have lured her away from home. A warrant was procured for his arreet, and the father offered a reward for the return of the girl. Constable John Honaker arrested the doctor, but the physician was too quick for him, and when he got the drop on him with his revolver, he fnrr^d Honaker to turn his back while he escaped. Then Constable Ball entered into the game of love, lure and jealousy. He found the doctor at his home, and started with him to Honaker for a preliminary bearing. The girl was sent back to her parents. While on the way to Honaker. Ball decided to have some amusement at the expense of his prisoner, and this.cost him his life. He forced Dr. Worth to do the tango, the Highland fling and a few other dances, while he held him covered with bis revolver. This was fun for the onlookers. Not so with the doctor, and he vowed vengeance. When the constable and prisoner arrived at the home of Henry Atkinson, in the village of Finney, they stopped for a meal. Dr. Worth saw a shotgun standing in the corner of the dining room. He grabbed it, and without a word of warning, fired at Ball. The load almost decapitated the constable. Dr. Worth then fled to the hills. The Women Army Followers. A Mexican army entraining is picturesque in much the same way that a gypsy camp is. It includes soldiers. women, children. Dots and Dans of primitive domesticity, pet dogs, cats, lambs, goats and even parrots. The regulations allow the soldiers to take their families to war. Officers told me that the rule was one woman to every eight men, but if such regulation exists it is for publication only. As many women go as want to ?and when an army moves out from a large city the number of soldaderas is pretty likely to be more than onethird that of the soldados. And many of them have one or several children. From the days of the Montezumas, Mexican women have borne their-part in war, and Mexico cannot imagine an effective army without its array of women camp followers. They forage for the army's food and cook it. They carry water to their men on the battlefield; they are the only nurses that the wounded have; frequently they march beside the weary soldiers, carrying, not only the camp equipment, but their guns as well. They are brave, patient, hard working and faithful Sometimes they are the legal wives of the men they accompany; more often their relations are for the campaign only. These soldaderas range from 12 or 15 years to 60 or more? the older women being, usually, the mothers of conscripts, who elect to follow their sons to the front. It may seem strange that women in such numbers Undertake the dangers and hardships of a campaign. But life is cheaply held among the lower classes in Mexico, and hardships and fatigue are the common lot in peace or war. Besides these women plunder the dead on the battlefield, and pick up what they can on the march. A woman cooks for her own man as a matter of course. If she cooks for any others they pay her any pay well. A successful campaign will frequently furnish capital with which to start a little shop or to attract a desirable permanent husband in civil life.?Leslie's Weekly. A tiny chick was oddly incubated unUpr thp sun-heated roof in a bnv loft in Glen Rock, Pa., where it was found away up in the stable of Waller Shipley. The egg mu-t have been laid in the hay field, and through some strange chance it came unbroken into the loft unnoticed, with a load of hay. SLEW HER FATHER. ' Mrs. Clifford Griffin Says She Killed Him as He Slept. Whigham, Ga., July 11.?Mrs. Clifford Griffin, 24 years old, daughter of H. Preston Powe, a widely known Grady county farmer, who was found dead in his bed yesterday morning from a gunshot wound, told a coroner's jury today that she had slain her father, as he slept, because of repeated attacks on her. She declared that her father had repeatedly attacked her and had come to her room after midnight. She followed him to his room, she said, and when he slept, fired into the back of < his skull with a shotgun, killing him J instantly. ^ She was freed on a verdict of jus- ] tifiable homicide. Her brother, How- C ard Powe, aged 18, who had been arrested, was released also.. J THE WAR OF i BUSINESS | i i CLEAR EYE, STRONG ARM, GOOD 1 HEALTH, ARE SECRETS OF SUCCESS. The man with the punch, both mental and physical is the big business success of to-day. His bodily health is the force behind his business possibilities. The business world has no time to listen to the grouch storv. Sour stomach, malaria, indigestion, coated tongue and a hundred other ooany ills come irurn an uui-ui-uiuci liver. Calomel used to be considered the only relief. Modern medical science has provided a far milder and more pleasant form of liver relief in CARSWELL'S LIVER AID, a purely vegetable liquid remedy. A large bottle can be had for 50 cents at Mack's Drug Store where the purchase price will be promptly re- i turned in case you wish it after trying this wonderful remedy. . ' B. F.
