Whieh the meesties Is Net -Amswered. Pram the Woman. As a woman, and I trust a brave one, lover of animals and a student of nature history, I ask the vexed question in al seriousness.

Why are women afraid mice? Why should the sight (I had almos written the name) of a tiny, harmless graceful little creature strike terror in tt the stoutest hearts that beat in feminine breasts? Echo answers, "Why?" The fea of mice is a hereditary curse, an inheritet weakness, a fatal foe, which it is useless combat, a foolish dread of which we ough to feel heartily and yet it is real and a formidable terror. It is neve assumed. It may be exaggerated by a fl of hysterics, or a succession of plercini screams, but the genuine peur a faire fre mir Is there all the same-and why? I remember once reading a story about i coterie of strong-minded women who gave a series of lectures upon female virtues it an old country town assembly room. One of their number was chosen to deliver the lecture on valor and selected for her sub ject the history of Joan of Arc. But whet the evening arrived and she was discours lng upon the valor of her sex in genera a mouse ran across the platform and the lecturer and her strong-minded sisters jumped on to their chairs, clutching thel petticoats in a manner not altogether pic turesque.

But I maintain that the fear o1 mice has nothing whatever to do with th lack of real bravery and that Joan of Ar would probably have clutched her petti coats in precisely the same manner. A mouse in the chamber of Marat would I believe, have deterred Charlotte Corda from her dread purpose, and the tail one popping opportunely from the carvin of Tuillia's chariot would have preventet her from driving over her father's corpse and I could cite many instances in whici mice might have changed the history of the world. Who can doubt that Cleopatra and the other swarthy Egyptian beauties hek the sacred cat in special veneration on sc count of the part he played in ridding then of their pet aversion? Every one knows that if a cat has a weakness It is for i plump, well-matured mouse, and puss has perhaps, for this reason earned the aee tions, because the gratitude, of our sex. The story of a prisoner who was cheerec In captivity by a mouse is familiar to all-but the prisoner was a man. Equall familiar is the fable of the grateful mouse which gnawed the net, but again-the pris oner Is said to have been a lion, not lioness.

I believe there is mutual antipath between them. Most women have experienced the sensa tion. You are sitting alone reading, play Ing, writing, painting or working. Sud. denly you Instinctively feel a sensation of horror of some evil influence that is pres eat, but as yet unseen.

You lift your eyes. You behold, glidini over the carpet toward you, without noise apparently without the trouble of walking a mouse. It stops, It fascinates you. Yot drop your book, your music, your brush your needle, whatever it may be, but you make no other sound. You feel your blood freeze and your limbs slowly paralyze your heart stops beating, your breati ceases, a cold chill creeps over you.

It your Imagination you feel the soft touct of an army of mice running races over your face and hands and making nests it your back hair. You start to your feel and then well, wome take these things no differently. Are women afraid of mice simply be cause It is born in them? There is no reason why we should be afraid of them, but the fact remains that we are and I have long since resigned myself to the fact as an evil for which there is no remedy. HE GOT THE HAIR. The Getting of a Wig Was a Pseregulsite to marriage.

Prom the St. IuIs Republic. "I've called to get that wig I ordered last June," said Frank Schmidt, a rustic-look. ing individual, to the lady clerk at Elms hair store. "Here's the receipt for the 82.6 deposit I made on it," said he, as the young lady handed over the wig for the rustic's inspection.

Mr. Schmidt immediately pulled off his hat and revealed a head wonderfully conspicuous for Its lack of locks, and proceeded to try on the wig before the glass. "By gum." said he, "Mary won't know me, and won't she be surprised! Yes," said Schmidt to an inquiry of the clerk, who was amusing herself watching the antics of the man as he paced to and fro before the glass, "I was to have been married last June, but Mary she went plumb back on me 'cause another feller in our neighborhopd what had plenty of ha'r on his head wanted to marry her, but she said she would give me till September 1 to git ha'r on my head somehow and if I succeeded we would get married all right, 'cause she liked me better than the feller with ha'r anyhow. Gosh! that's the handsomest wig I ever did see," said he with renewed emphasis. "Just wait a minit till I call Aunt Jennings' boy Charley in to see how it looks." Mr.

Schmidt proceeded toward the door, hat In hand and wig on head, while the lady clerk turned to wait on another customer. He stepped out of the door and disappeared in the crowd at Union Market. Five minutes later his departure was noticed and a policeman called, but the man and WN wig were gone. These Are the Times. Prom the Columbas Enquirer-Sun.

A philosophical genius who has been studying over the situation announces as a result of his earnest cogitations these are the times when we should have confidence in each other. These are the times when we should have confidence in those Institutions that are the mainstay of our community. These are the times when. we should stand by them as they have Etood by us. These are the times when we should endeavor to be as patient with our neighbor as we would have him be with us.

These are the times when we. shaold try to remember that there are others in the world besides ourselves; chat they have their troubles as well as we. These are the times that we snould remember that even the darkest cloud hans a silver lining. These are the times when we should not get scared to death about nothing. These are the times when we should go on about our business, doing the best we can, and not crossing any bridges till we come to them.

These are the times when we should act like men-not like fools. A Point to Be Consider'ed. Prom the DetroIt Tribune. hear that the jury awarded Miss Shithers in her breach of promise case."

LO ALL HOPE OF CURE THOUGHT En DISFIGURED FOR LIFE. CUTICURA REMOVED CRUSTS AT ONCE DIMEASE EN TEi GONE IN ONE MONTH. NOW NO TRACE. SKIN SMOOTH. For more than fifteen years I was efected with running Tetter on my face and scale.

Various prescriptions and many remedies were furnished, being afterward treated by many physicians, and all to no avail. I had lost all hope of ever being cured, and concluded that I was disfigured for life. A friend persuaded me to give the CUTICURA REMEDlIE a trial, which I did in this way: Taking the CUTICURA RUEOLVENT two teaaponnsrul after each meal, bathed the efected parts in warm water with CLTICURA SOAP, and applied the CUTICURA freely until the erests were all removed. In one month my face and scalp were perfectly smooth. I give this cheerful testimony for the benefit of all who are thus aleted.

"we can't get discounts at the banks." "a dollar in hand Is as big as a cart wheel." "we are sacrificing everything." "we are all but giving things away." "we are losing money," "now Is the time to buy." "we an selling 0 per cent below cost." "we must have money." Do you hear JOHN RUDDEN putting up any of these pleas? He sells Furniture. on "Time" Payments at "Bottom" Prices, and just as regularly as the days dawn his patrons walk in. Pay a little on this and something that and order the other thing needful.

The condition that confronted the country during the month of August demonstrated the wisdom of RUDDEN'S system of crn. ducting business. The magic PricesTells It all. He suceeds: others fail.
