WE TAKE HER ANY WAY.

We are often chidin’ woman 'causc she’s
makin’ of a stir ,

For the rights she thinks us men-folks is
a-holdin’ back from her;

But, to tell the truth, we’ve never felt much
different to this—

XR'hether she jist suits or doesn’t,

We will take her as she is.

She may win the rights she’s after, she may
make us don her dress.

An' ignore our lusty kickin‘ an our rantings
of distress; ‘

An’ although we swear and mutter. the re.
sult is always this—

I Ruthern we should do without her.

We will take her as she is.

LISBETH’S VICTORY.

Gegen Lieb, und,Weiberlist,
Alle Gewalt'vergebe-ns ist.

Nowadays, all that is required to get
married is a “he” and a “she” and the
necessary license. Anyone authorized
by law can splice them with a few ques-
tions as to who and what they are,
whether they possess anything or by
what means they intend to support
themselves or their children.

In times gone by things were alto-
gether dilferent'and more care was ta-
ken. But then 'one may go too far in
his care for the well being of hymeneal
candidates, as the following narrative
shall demdnstrate. ,

Our tale beginsion a. balmy morning
in May, 178—, such a. morning as is
seldom seen anywhere outside the Rhine
valleys in the Black Forest.

 

The young and fair hostess of the inn .

of the “Front Room,” the famous and.
most popular hostelry in the ancient
ducal borough of B—-—-, was seated
alone-in the guest room. Her plump
figure 'Was becomingly attired in a
gown of navy blue, profusely braided
and embroidered according to the fash-
ion of the dev, over which she wore a.
ablack silk apron. The graceful out-
lines of her bust showed to perfection in
a velvet waist hung with silver chains,
and on a table beside her r‘eposed a
magnificent lace cap.

Though a widow, Lisbeth was still
young and very‘ fair to look upon, and
almost all the eligible young men of
8— had done their best to capture her
heart, hand and money—and had failed
alike in all.

The truth was that she had already
lost her heart. About six months ago
the playfellow of her youth, FrancOis,
the son of neighbors in her native vil-
lage across the Alsatian border, had
some to B-——- and found employment
in a butcher shop. The two had again
met, and though under the circumstan-
ces it cannot be termed love at first
sight, it may have, just the same, been
something very like it.

At any rate, they loved, and had
agreed .to get married as soon as the
year of mourning was over, and this
was the eventful day set for making ap-
plieation' at the City Hall to have the
banns published’

At last a creaking of the door hinges
roused Lisbeth from, her reverie, and
the impatiently looked-for lover made
his appearance. But his countenance
was not wreathed in smiles, neither did
he look like an expectant bridegroom
whose dearest wish is about to be real-
ized. He frowned, and angrily throw-
ing his new beaver hat on the floor,

took a. distant seat without the pleasant

words of greeting she was always used
to hear from his lips.
Lisbeth felt deeply hurt, but said
nothing. ‘ .
Finally the'young man, as if ashamed
of his ill- mannered behavior, exclaimed

- in a fitful tone:

“Oh, Lisbeth, we can never marry!”

“No? and pray, why not?” she asked.
"Are you tired of me?” _

“Tired of you, Lisbeth? You know
better than that. But haven’t you
heard the news? The Council refused
to grant me citizen’s rights and the
marriage license. ~ They are full of ani—
mosity toward you for refusing to wed
one of their 'sons and for giving me,
whom they are pleased to call a stranger
and a vagabond. the preference.”

"So that is it!”

The resolute Lisbeth jumped up, ex-
citedly, her lovely face crimson as a
June rose. '

“Come! Let us to the City Hall at
once. VJ e will see about it. If every-
thing else fails, I think my godfather,
the Abbot of Re—, will find a way to
make them pliable.” ‘

The worthy Burgomaster of B——
and the members of the Council were
assembled at. the City Hall when Lis-
beth appeared, dragging her bashful
Francois forcibly by the hand into their
august presence. ‘

“Withyour permission, mighty sirs,”
she began, we appear before you to in-
form you that we intend to marry, and,
what is more, to marry as soon as pos-
sible, wherefore we most humbly .and
dutifully pray the High and Migh?
Council to grant us the necessary p J
pers, and to be quick about it, for we
have no desire to wait any longer than
is absolutely necessary. My homestead

needs a master, as you all know. The ,

young man by my side, a bachelor of
good repute and law abiding, is my
choice, and is better fitted for the po-
sition as host at the inn of the “Front
Room” than any one else I know. He
is a butcher by trade, young and strong
and what, is more, his brother across
the border, over in Alsace, owes him a
thousand guilders Rhenish, par: of their
father’s estate, which he can collect in

cash at any moment. Therefore I can

see neither morally nor legally anything
against my Francois, and levied, why

 

in fact, it is reasonable, yea, more than
that, it is necessary. Thou speakest
truly. Thy establishment ,‘is sorely in
need of a master’s strong arm, and thou
needst a husband. But is it absolutely
necessary that it should be a stranger‘l
Are there no young men in our town,
sons of worthy citizens, who are as fit
to rule the destinies'of the inn of the
“Front Room,” and thine own as well,
and who are but too willing to have
thee for their lawful wife?

"The inn has for long generations
been in possession of men who were cit-
izens of our borough and thus it shall
remain. Even thyself art but a strang-
er, having gained the inn by marriage.
Hence it is but just that nobody but the
son of one of our citizens should again
own it, and thou art forbidden to marry
yon‘vagabond. Collectively and indi-
vidually, this Council formally protests
against it, and declines thy petition.
That ends it 1” , .

Commendatory words rewarded the
Burgomaster at the end of this lucid
oxpatiation, and the prince’s snuifbox
again made the round of the Council
table.

Francois, the unfortunate groom, had
been thoroughly wrought up by the ex-
pression of “tramp” and “vagabond”
hurled at him. He sudddenly sprang
forward, stopped short in front of the

' Burgomaster, and, shaking his fist in his

face, he exclaimed: .

"And I Say, you high and mighty cit-
izens of B——, I’ll marry her in spite of
you and . all your thick headed and
crooked-legged sons.”

The city fathers looked aghast at such
impudence. The Burgomaster threw

 

: the official documents.

 

make many words—I love him and 1.

want him !" . , .

A silence an upon disassembled city »

fathers after this strange speech of the
plucky little widow.- At'last'tbe‘worthy
Burgom'aster, a. member of the worship-

ful Tanner’sGuild, broke the awkward:

pause, after delibérately helping him-
self to"a plentiful supply of snuff.
“Highly honored friends and cel-
leagues, and themili‘onored and virtuOus
Mistress Lisbeth!" gTh‘y desire is. full 01-
the Christian spirit“ cf neighborly love,
Incl accorhng to‘the law; of the land"

his snufi'box with such force on the

' table that the dust rose in clouds from

cried he. “Wilt thou
hold thy tongue? Thou - ill-mannered
Alsatian cur, thou vagabond. Imme-
diately go and pay a fine of one guildar
Rhenish into the city treasury fer thy
unparalleled insult offered to our citiz-
ens, and if thou tarriest here any longer
I will have thee put into the dungeon
and tortured until thou wilt show bet-
ter manners l” ,

This delivery was followed by general
applause. Francois paid his fine and
left, while the prince’s snulfbox once
more went from hand to hand.

On the Saturday following the narra-
ted events a cabriolet and pair, driven
by. Francois, stopped in front of the inn
of the “Front Room.” Lisbeth dressed
in her best Sunday finery, appeared,
smiling good-humoredly, and took her
seat in the vehicle. which started off at
a brisk trot. But . the .trip did not re-
main 3 secret. Somehow or other,
pretty soon everybody seemed to know
that Mistress Lisbeth had gone to see
her godfather, the Abbot, to ask his in--
terference in her and her lover‘s be-
half.

However, the Great Council was
wide awake. and up to the emergency.
As early as one o’clock on the same af-
ternoon the City Hall bell called all the
citizens, more than a hundred men to-
gether in a mass meeting. .

The Burgbmaster presided. In a few
concise words he explained the great
danger that threatened all landed citi-
zens of B—-,— by Mistress Lisbeth’s trea-
son plan, and the impression he made
was so pronounced that a petition was
drawn up to the government at D-——-
setting forth Lisbeth’s sinfulness.

After the bulky document had been
dispatched quiet was restored in the bor-
ough, and the good citizens congregated
once more as usual in the guesc room of
the inn, where shrewd mistress Lisbeth
had ordered e.l‘“metzelsuppe” of gigantic
proportions to be served during her ab
sence, which every one—Burgomaster
and Council not excepted—enjoyed so
hugely that on the following morning
when his Worship tried to help himself
to a pinch of snuff he had to send to the
inn for the princely box, having left it
there the night before, from sheer for-
getfulness, of course.

It would make interesting and profit-
able reading for jurists how the "High
and All Powerful” Government at D—--
disposed ofrthe knotty question. To our
sorrow and regret we have to disap-
point them, for history has not handed
down this important decision.

And the resolute Lisbeth and her
Francois? How did they manage to en-
ter the blissful conjugal haven?

We doubt not the Abbot, her god-
father, was a shrewd man, who knew a
thing or two. Not far from the Abbot’s
Cloister, encircled by the silvery waters
of the beautiful Rhine, there is located
in the peaceful seclusion of the upper
Black Forest country. but in Swiss ter-
ritory. a small town, the very name of
which is a synOnym for seclusion, and
many a love sick couple, having vainly
tried to. overcome the obstacle inter-
posed by parents o'r'guardians, has taken
refuge at the sheltering altar of its
church, where many marriages have

“Wretch l”

' been solemnized that otherwise could

not have taken place.

To this, church the Abbot sent his
godchjild, and there she and Francois
were made one, while the good citizens
of B-+- were indulging too freely in the
“metzelsu'ppe.”

All this is made evident by the entry
in the book of the city treasury of B—-,
stating that on July 1, 178—, Francois
4—, a butcher and proprietor of the inn

.of the Front Room, and his lawful wife
Lisbeth, had been fined 5 guilders Rhen-
ish for getting married at the Church
of —— without having first secured the
consent of the Council of B—-—, their le
gal abode—From the French. '

 

They Like Poor Water.

Arabs in the desert have-contracted a
strange prejudice against running wa-
ter, and they will only drink what they
find in some stagnant pool. So much
has this become a. matter of habit
.with them that, while the most poison-
ous-looking water agrees with them ad-

Qmirably, pure running water will make -

them violently sick.

 

Compensation is the law of nature, 0
finance and trade—a deficiency of fore-
thought must be balanced by an execs:

 

of afterthought.

 

 

LAST WORD NOT HERS

MRS. BEECHER SAYS WIVES mus‘r
HOLD THElR PEACE. "

Silence is Golden, and Solomon Was No},

InIWIse Condition When He Advised
Answering a. Fool According, to Ilia

IIS‘olly.~

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, writing

to the New York World upon the topic,
When Wives Should Hold Their Peace,
says: ,

Wordsspoken in season are of great
value, but now and then, even with our
best and dearest, there are seasons
when silence v'ill do more good than

the most royal gifts of eloquence. Wit'l!

everyone there comes sometimes the
temptation. to dispute when silence
would be the better though by, far the'
harder, hay, and when even a soft an-
swer has not half the power of perfect
silence. ,With the ignorant and pas-
sionate. it is not only useless but the
greatest folly to dispute. I doubt if

Solomon, with all his wisdom, was in ,
his wisest state of mind when be ‘ad- I

vised us to answer a fool according to
his folly. ‘

In the household there must occur
many things which demand forbear-
ance and a good stock of patience;
Hardly an hour passes in a large fam-
ily, even when all are disposed to~ be
ruled by the laws of love and kindness,
that little shadows do not pass over the
horizon which, by a trifling irritation or
mistake, could be’ nurse‘d _into dark
clouds, threatening a storm. But by.
silence, by setting a watch over the
door of the month, they pass quietly.

More than any one else the wife
should have the grace of silence—the
crowning household .blessing. She
should know when to refrain from
speaking, even though her words be
those of affection and endearment.

Wives ~may love their husbands
strongly and faithfully, but I do not
think that the happiness of husbands
and fathers depends so much on the
daily outward expression of affection
from those most dear to them, as wives
and mothers fancy.

But with the wife it is different. The
words and acts of afiection she cannot
miss without suffering and loss known
only to her heart. They are her life

. Receiving these, her nature expands,

broadens, becomes richer and nobler.
Lacking them, she withers and is
greatly impoverished. Husbands little
realize how quickly their wives may
deteriorate and become cold machine:
if they pass heedlcssly on their way,
forgetting the heart famine they leave

, at home.

But however much a wife may crave
more gentle attentions and tenderer
words. she should teach herself to
know I}: at she can gain great honor by

that 51‘; nce that tends toward peace.

Continued patience will often open a
man’s eyes to his unintentional neglect
and make him love and honor his wife
more for the quiet lesson she has
taught.

Does not a wife sometimes destroy
love by repeated expostulations. com-
plaints and reproaches? While her love
shines undiminished, there is always
hope that the dove of peace and prom-
ise will yet fold its wings and abide,
so that the last days of that household
shall be brighter and more loving than
the first. ,

Let her try the power of a cheerful
silence when tempted to have the last
word. Let her learn if that will not
lift the cloud far more surely than the
bitter invectives her wounded pride
and irritated love tempt her to utter.
The first, faithfully acted upon, brings
hopes of better times. The latter, if
not at once and forever dismissed, is
sure destruction of all true love and
domestic peace. '

' Villages Built in Trees.

People who live in trees or employ

‘them as places of refuge are apt to be

particularly miserable specimens of the
human family, for their choice of a
home invariably implies that they are
not strong enough to meet their ene-
mies on a level. The tree village re-
cently discovered by Sir William Mac-
Gregor in Guinea is the most remarka-
ble that has be'en'reported in a long
while. Some ways inland he found a
wretched, half-starvedlremnant of the
Veiburi tribe. In one of their settle-
ments all the villagers live in a single
enormous tree, on whose wide-spread-
ing branches four houses, with two
stories each, had been constructed.
Wide platforms are built in front of
the houses on which are piles of stones
kept to hurl at intrusive persons. This
wretched people are in process of .ex-
termination by a powerful and warlike
neighbor. '
The most numerous tree villages that
have been found are along the Dua
branch of the Mangala river, north of
the Congo. The explorer who discov-

ered them last year says the natives
are the poorest and most wretched peo-
ple he has seen In Africa.

OF ONE MIND.

 

Shes—Do you remember, J ack, this
day one year ago you offered ,me your
hand and heart and I cruelly refused
you? I have thought better of it since.

FORMAL INTRODUCTIONS-

Rules of Etiquette Ifl‘hat Prevail In Well
Regulated Society.

Regulations which govern the presen- .

tation of men and women to each other
as members of society are based on
common sense and necessity, although
every one unites toabuse them.

A hostess would have time for; noth-'

ing else and would be constantly absent
from her post to greet'newcomers if‘she
insisted [upon [introducing all of her
guests to each other. '

The. trouble with people in large cities
is that this branch of etiquette is founded
on English pmanners, and Americans
stop there instead of following up its
real meaning, which is, that under the
roof all are friends. If this were ob-
served, then guests would talk gener-
ally, and things move more gracefully.

But surely a woman could introduce
her friends at dinner or a ladies’ lunch-
eonand not tax herself.

Nothing is worse form than indis-
criminate introductions. Members of
society should not force upon others

he people they themselves do not care
to know, and a person should always
be asked if an acquaintance is desired.
True, it is not considered necessary to
acknowledge a. casual acquaintance,
but a. little tact prevents all unpleasant-
ness.

_On one’s “at home ” day it is not good
form to present the coming to the part-
ing guest, especially if they are women
who live in the same town. Calls would

have been exchanged or some common'

friend have arranged their meeting if
there had been any reason or desire for
acquaintance.

Street introductions are also Super-
fiuous. You may be with friends and
stop to shake hands with people you
have not seen in some time, but if there
is no special deSire on your part for
these people to meet, it is much wiser
and politer not to introduce them.

In point ‘of precedence in presenting,
there is none; only the younger woman
to the older and a man to a woman.
The woman in her own home should
always shake hands when a guest
is presented; men should shake each
other’s hands. The Southern fashion
of a. woman extending her hand to a
man is charming.- It is now carried
out to some extent here. '

At a ball the introductions should be
distinctly formal. Hand-shaking is not
correct; and here again common sense
comes in, for it is most awkward for a
woman to place flowers and fan while
shaking hands. ' .

No man, when presented to a woman
at a dance, should fail in asking for her
card. His introduction means a dance.

No form of presenting people is so
good as the simplest. “Miss Brown,
may I present my friend, Mr. Jones?”
is all that is most elegant. ~

»; At any function less important than

a large ball, it is always pleasant to add
a. little note of interest to the presenta-
tion, which breaks the ice and leads
the way for conversation.

These matters may seem a bit trivial
at first, but the Omission of them does
not lead to pleasurable results.

THEY USE VENOMED ARROWS.

Wat-like Indians on an Island Near Cali-
fornia. .

An island in the Gulf of California is
inhabited by queer human beings. The
Ceris without doubt are one of the most
interesting tribes of aborigines to be
found on this hemisphere. They are
said to have fair skins and blue eyes
and bear no resemblance whatever to
.the Indian tribes of the mainland or of
the peninsula. In former days they
made incursions upon the mainland,
spreading havoc along the coast, but in
later years they have kept closely to
their island home. They, are extremely
fierce and warlike and use venomed ar-
rows in fighting. The island is known
to be very mountainous, with innumer-
able rugged canoiis and gorges, where
the Indians ambush, and which renders
subduing them almost an impossibility.
Beyond the fact of the existence of the
Ceris tribe very little is known. Their
habits and language are said to be pe-
culiar to themselves, while their origin
is a subject of conjecture. The island
shows no sign of vegetation from the
Gulf and their method of gaining asub—
sistence is unknown. Skippers cruising
in those waters carefully avoid this isl-
and peopled with blue eyed savages,
and its ragged outlines which loom up
in the Gulf are shrouded in mystery.—

PARSON IN WALL STREET.

The Rev. Dr. Rufus s. ’Green Withdraws
from the "Scramble" for Pastor-ates.
Onthe door of an office in Wall Street

New York is the advertisement. “The

Investment Association, R. S. Green,

President.” ,Mr. Green, who carries on

a brokerage business there, is a middle-

aged man whose life has heretofore been

spent in the ministry. As the Rev. Dr.

Rufus S. Green the has been known as

a Presbyterian pastor. At one time he

filled the pulpit of a Presbyterian church

at East Orange, and lately he was Presi-

dent of “the Elmira Female College. He ,

resigned the Presidency -'of the college,
he says, because of the financial straits
of the institution. He was also con-
nected with the Assembly Herald, a. de-
nominational paper of Chicago. He do.
cided to enter business, he has said, be-‘
cause of the disinclination of churches
to fix upon a pastor already in middle
life, and his own desire not to enter the
“humiliating scramble” for a. vacant
pulpit. Having reached this determi‘.

nation, he resigned his place on the As-- Sh

sembly Herald, and as it was necessary.
he says, to announce his change of resi-
dence to pastors through whom sub-‘
scriptions to the papers were obtained.
he felt justified in enclosing a circular
to them giving his reason for making
the change and conveying information
of his new business departure.

Another Religious paper of the Windy
City, the Interior, published an attack
upon him for this course, it is said,
charging him with using his official re-
lation to the Assembly Herald for the
furtherance of his unholy Wall street
project, and warning all ministers and
other innocent people of .the West
against yielding to any allurements he
might hold out. The Doctor says that
in the West the idea prevails that all
operations in Wall street are gambling,
and to this fallacious notion he ascribes
theInterior’s attack. ‘

,.It is said that the General Assembly
will undoubtedly accept his resignation
of the place on the Herald, and that
probably he will not be considered a
ministerial member of the Presbytery
of Chemung, to which he belongs, but
that as regards this much depends upon
the Presbytery’s action. It is not
thought that any charges will be pre-
ferred against him. Dr. Green says
that, he has not given up the ministry
and that he has not done anything in-
consistent with a ministerial calling,
but has merely removed himself from
the competition for pastorates. '

Avor Shame, Philadelphia!

Another novel scheme has been con-V
sidered by a prominent Germantown
church, which recently decided to in-
vite suggestions as to the best method
to raise a fund for the ‘enlargement of
the church building. . - ,

A number of replies were elicited, all
of which were more or less unfeasible.
One correspondent suggested the follow-
in : '

g:‘Announce a big ‘hugging bee’ in the
church parlors. Girls under 16 years,
16 cents for a hug of two minutes’ dur-
ation; or a short squeeze 10 cents; from
16 to 20 years, 60 cents; from 20 to 25,
'75 cents; schoolma’ams, 40 cents; an-
other man’s wife, $1; widows, according
to looks. from 10 cents to 83; old maids,
3 cents or two for a nickel and no limi-

As the parlors of the church are not
very spacious, the committee will be
forced to abandon this novel plan, but
.there is a suggestion for another plan
in this rejected one, which the commit-
tee will very likely adopt.

The idea of a beauty show for prizes
to be competed for by the young girls of
the church has grown out of the first
suggestion, and the matter is now being
considered—Philadelphia Record.

’ SHE WAS SPECTACULAR.
A Widow Whose Ideas About Showing
Grief Were Peculiar.

A young widow in London engaged a
presumably also young photographer to
take her picture while she leaned weep-
ing over the tombstone of her “dear de-
parted,” says a Belgian exchange.
the day appointed the sentimental beau-
ty in weeds went to the graveyard and
at once opened the sluices of her great
sorrow. She wept and wept for hours,
but he came not. Finally she went dry
and home, and straightway sued the
photographer for the return of the
money which she had paid in advance.

The artist claimed that the appoint-
ment had been vague; that he went to
the cemetery and waited three hours
for her at the grave, also in vain. No,
they didn’t cempromise by marrying
each other. The Judge rendered a den
cision against the photographer, because
“the photograph, showing the undying
fidelity of the pretty widow, might, if
finished at the time agreed upon, have
been instrumental in procuring her a
second husband.”

Sounds a Little Ironical.

Mrs. Lease’s career as a preacher.
which began some three weeks ago, has
naturally been attended with some in-
ic-resting incidents, as was her career as
a political stump speaker. Her debut in
the ministry was signalized by a custom
heretofore usually confined to the the
atrical and operatic stage. At the con-
clusion of her first sermon in Wichita
on a recent Sunday morning, several
bouquets of flowers were passed up to
her over where the footlights would be
if there were any. The deaf mute:
have taken a great liking to - Mrs.
Lease’s preaching, and a' considerable
number from the State institution at-
tend her discourses, watching her with
great attention and having the gems of
her oratory translated to .them. It is

said that about the only person in '

Wichita who doesn’t attend her ser-
mons is Mr. Lease. Sunday is a busy

day in the drug store business, and he
stays in his store to look after the fam-

ily’s worldly aflairs While his wife at-r
tends to the town‘s spiritual concerns.
