LYNCHING IN KENTUCKY.

Ka ist Taken Froif. -Tail and Hanged to a Kaili-nac I'.riiige. WIXCIIKSTEU, Ky., July 16.—Yester

day morning Bob Haggard, a mulatto, was brought here and lodged in jail charged with rape on the person of Miss Myrtle Elkin, near Ford, this county.

The men of the house had gone to another county to attend the bedside of a dying sister, and left the negro to protect the young lady and her aged grandmother, who were otherwise alone.

After committing the criuu he held the women in terror for nearly a day before they got a chance to give the alarm. He was captured near the see re of the crime and lodged in jail.

Shortly after midnight the electric lights were turned off and the city left in total darkness. A mob of several hundred approached the jail and overpowered the jailer, taMng the keys. The doors were speedily unlocked and the prisoner secured.

He was taken to a bridge over the Kentucky Central railroad in the suburbs of tiie city, and after a short pause was hung to the railing of the bridge. Company A, Kentucky state guards, were under arms, but the mob was so large that resistance would have been useless.

Sheriff Hodgkm and Judge Haggard addressed the mob, but without avail. The body was left dangling from the bridge until this morning.

A BIRD CALL.

Bird of the azure wing, Bird of the silver note, Come, for it is the spring,

And high the white clouds float. Come, bluebird, come!

Bird of the crimson breast, Robin, we miss you well. Robin, we lov you best.

Come, for the cowslips swell. Come, robin, come I

Bird of the circling flight 'Gainst twilight's pearly skies, Soft call the winds of night,

Lonely the water cries. Come, swallow, come! —Sara M. Chatfield in St. Nicholas.

SHE WAS EIGHT.

Aubrey Everdene looked out tipon Sackville street and yawned. Only an instant before he had written "Finis" to an article with a dash of the pen across the last sheet, and now the manuscript lay ready for the post among the debris of printer's proofs, new novels awaiting review, etc., with which the writing table was strewn.

One of the best known litterateurs in London and a brilliant conversationalist, his tongue could be as scathing as his pen, and it was said of him with regard to the latter weapon of warfare that in half a dozen polished sentences he could do more toward damning a bocfc than any two of his compeers. A big, loosely made man, Mr. Everdene, with shrewd, gray eyes and tiie pessimism of a modern. Studying his face as he lounged by the window, his hands in the pockets of his smoking jacket, one could see that he had a lively sense of humor combined with his other characteristics and understood the interest his personality aroused.

Presently a servant brought him a visiting card on a salver. "The lady would be obliged if you would grant her an interview, sir. "Lady Hilyard," muttered Everdene, reading the inscription. "I can't recall the name. Bother the woman! What does she want? However—ask her to come up, Blake."

When she entered, a fair, elegant woman of perhaps five and twenty, in ail irreproachable Parisian toilet, he was still more convinced that he had not the privilege of her acquaintance. "Mr. Aubrey Everdene?" she queried.

Mr. Everdene bowed. "Pray take a seat, madam." "No," she said. "I have come to quarrel with you, and I don't sit down in the houses of my enemies."

To quarrel with me 1" His eyebrows went up. The thought came to him that his visitor was not in her right mind. "Yes. Perhaps I had better explain myself at once. I am the author of 'Fashion and Footlights.' 'Fashion and Footlights,' he reflected aloud. "'Fashion and Footlights.' Ha!"

Comprehension stole over his face, and with it a slight amusement He fished among a pile of volumes and brought out three bound with an elegance destined to wrin the hearts of suburban circulating libraries. "Here it is. I reviewed it in The Centurian, didn't I?" "No," she said, "you hanged and quartered it I" "I am sorry! May I ask how you found out that I was the culprit?" "Oh, by accident! It's a long story and unimportant, since you don't deny the imputation. Now, Mr. Everdene, I know it is very impertinent of me, a stranger, to come to your private address and worry you. I am doing a very unusual thing, I am afraid, and Mrs. Grundy would be horrified. But 'fools rush in,' you know, and widows are privileged! You must have a little patience with me, because"—for the first time her lips relaxed, and she smiled a smile that was sweetness itself—"well, just because I'm a woman and you're a gentleman! Acknowledge the truth now on your honor. Don't you think you were unnecessarily harsh to my poor little literary effort?" "No," he said bluntly. "I always give my true opinion of things, and I consider your book had many faults."

If she had been a man, he would have said, "I thought it was excessively bad," with the brusqueness of conviction, and probably declined to discuss the matter. But to a lady it was impossible to be rude. He regarded her absurdly unconventional presence with a tolerant kindliness. "Of course I admit that there are faults, but upon one or two points in your criticism I cannot agree with you. I should very much like to discuss them with you. May I?" "Certainly." His mouth was twitching under his heavy mustache. "But don't you think, pending the verdict, that you had better sit down? You will be fatigued. If you'll permit me to wheel this armchair nearer the fire for you—so!"

Having carefully arranged it so that she should face the light, he seated himself opposite to her—the A of diplomacy, but she did not appear to notice it. She was drawing arabesques on the carpet with the point of her ivory handled umbrella. "I should very much like to know," she said, "what you think of me for coming here?" "I think you are plucky—yes, and recklessly unconventional." "Candid, at any rate! And I like that." She looked up. "Now for the first indictment on the list, Mr. Everdene. You accuse me of improbability. I deny it." I His manner bordered upon preoccupation. In truth, he was thinking what wonderful lashes she had and how beooming a flush of axcitement could be to a dear, pale skin. I "Ton assert," she continued warmly,

"that it is ridicnlons to suppose that a man and a woman could fall in love at first sight, as I make my hero and heroine do, and that such proceedings «re limited to boys and girls in their teens and the pages of penny fiction. I should have thought that Mr. Aubrey

Everdene would have shown wider sympathies." "Then you really believe, Lady Hilyard, that adult, sensible people do conceive such abrupt attachments?" "I am convinced that it happens frequently." "Oh, come, not frequently?" "Well—sometimes," she amended. "I could give you a dozen instances.

He lacked the heart to argue with her. It would have been like breaking a butterfly on a wheel, and, after all, there might be more sentiment in fin de eiecle humanity than he thought. Women have wonderful intuition in these matters. "Well, suppose we let that slide for the moment and proceed to indictment No. 2. What other phrase of mine do you take exception to?" "You said that I had not the remotest idea of construction, and that 'Fashion and Footlights' was evidently a specimen of that objectionable class of fiction which you regretted to see was growing so prevalent—the amateur novel, born of vanity and a lack of wholesome occupation."

Her voice died away with a tremor. He had only stated the truth, but the fact did not prevent the speechless Mr. Everdene from feeling as if he had committed a particularly brutal murder and the ghost of the victim had come to arraign him before all the people whose opinion he valued most. "I—I cried," she murmured pathetically.

Her lips quivered. Beads of perspiration rose to the man's forehead. "Good heavens, if I had only guessed how much I should hurt you! It was harsh, monstrous. No doubt I was in a bad temper, and your unfortunate book was the first thing that afforded me an opportunity to vent my spleen. "Then you acknowledge that you were needlessly cruel?" "I was brutal." He would have committed blacker perjury as she wiped that tear away. "And that I,had just cause for indignation?" "You were perfectly right."

A smile broke like April sunshine over her face. "In that case I suppose I must forgive you?"

He was ridiculously grateful. He heaved a sigh of relief and hesitated with his hand on the button of the electric belL "Lady Hilyard, you know the Arab custom of taking salt with one's friends? As a token of good will permit me to give you the prosaic English equivalent of a cup of tea."

The offer was tempting, the weather was hot, and she had talked a great deal. She yielded When the refreshment came, accompanied by wonderful sweetmeats from round the corner, she asked permission to pour it out for him, with a winning graciousness which charmed him. It afforded him an odd sense of pleasure, too, to see her white fingers moving about the china. He was •unaccustomed to the presence of women in his home.

With the Japanese tables between them they chatted for awhile, and then the clock on the mantelpiece struck 6. She rose with a pretty gesture of dismay, like a second Cinderella. "Do you know, Mr.Everdene, that I have been here a whole hour wasting your valuable timer" "I thought it had been ten minutes," he answered, "and the pleasantest of my life.'' "Very pretty!" she said, blushing faintly. "And in return for it let me tell you that my address is on my card, and that my 'day' is Thursday also I must thank you very heartily for your kindness and courtesy to an impertinent intruder. Very few men would have been so considerate." "Please don't thank me. It is I who owe you. a debt of gratitude. You have taught me something I never expected to learn." "What?" "That the conduct of your hero and heroine was not improbable at all.''

Their eyes met, the woman's drooped, self conscious, pleased. "You really mean that?" "On my soul I do."

The most delicious softness was in her voice. "It makes me so proud and happy to think I have convinced you."

There was a silence. She smoothed a wrinkle in her suede glove. He twisted a button onTiis coat. Then she aroused herself, with a little laugh, and extended her hand. "Well, goodby, Mr. Everdene, and once more, thank you!"

He pressed her fingers ever so lightly —her proselyte. "Not goodby," he murmured. "Au revoir!"—Black and White.

Saved His Whisky.

A Greek fisherman recently decided to branch out a little in a business way, so opened a small saloon on the water front. He bought a barrel of whisky from a local dealer, paying 10 per cent down, and agreed to pay the balance when the whisky was delivered. He failed to keep his agreement, and the dealer commenced planning some way to get his whisky or the money. Every time he called on the fisherman he saw the barrel lying in the saloon, and he wanted it

Finally the dealer commenced suit and attached the liquor. The saloon man pleaded poverty, hard times and everything else, but his creditor was obdurate. An agreement was reached after much parleying that the dealer should take the whisky back, keep the 10 per cent that had been/ paid and give the saloon keeper a receipt in fall and dismiss the suit

The saloon keeper shed tears as he saw the barrel of whisky carted off and declared he was a rained man, bnt he did not close his saloon. The shrewd dealer fonnd that the whisky had been drawn from the barrel and water substituted. He is still wondering how he can get his whisky or the money for it when his receipt is standing against his claim. San Francisco Post

The Changing Type of Womanhood.

Dr. Nellie Y. Mark read before the alumnte reunion of Lutherville seminary a witty and able paper upon "The Changing Type of Womanhood." She said: "When we look back and think of the wonderful progress women have made in science, literature and art, in all the professions and in all avenues of work when we see the large numbers of women's clubs and associations that are springing up all over the country, and with woman suffrage coming on apace, we are fain to stop and ask, 'Where are we at?' and are reminded of the story of a gentleman who, entering a depot, met an expressman coming out with a dog under his arm. The gentleman asked, 'Where is that dog going?' The expressman savagely replied, 'You don't know where he's going, he don't know where he's going, I don't know where he's going, nobody knows—lie's ate his tag.' And so it is with women. They seem to have eaten their tags and found it a very comfortable bite. And while we may not know where they are drifting we have faith that whatever they do in their womanly way will be for the good of humanity and the perfecting of their sex."

The Tip of the Hat.

And now it may not come amiss to discuss the new tip to the hat. The English taught last winter that the correct position was to wear one's liat on the back of one's head. So far did the advocates of this reform go that the English bath bun was called into play to support the chapeau. Whether we will bo English or French is now the question. Our Gallic sisters have decided to run counter to their friends across the channel and insist upon tho new tip, which is decidedly over tho eyes. True, the British girls wear very small headgear—the Dutch bonnet, as an instance—while the French cling with wise pertinacity to those picture hats that become the majority of faces. This hat to the Parisian mondaine is not properly placed unless it goes far over the eyes, hiding every trace of "bang but, then, the Frenchwoman is no longer wearing a forehead curl—she is pompadouring her hair. Probably with a bit of wisdom she chose this style for, the summer because she has recognized the impossibility of keeping one's hair in good order during the heated season.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Comfortable Summer Underwear.

Summer underwear should be at once healthful and comfortable, writes Isabel A. Mallon in The Ladies' Home Journal. It needs to have a certain quality of lightness in weight, and yet it must be sufficiently warm to keep one from getting that very undesirable illness—a .summer cold. The fact that even the lightest of cotton gowns is lined has made tho elaborately trimmed underbodice of little use, and when such bodices are worn they are made quite plainly, being in reality nothing more than well fitted corset covers. A lightweight cambric without dressing, and which is known in England as "long cloth," is greatly liked for summer underwear, as it is quite as cool as linen and does not tend to give one even the momentary chill which is the peculiarity of linen. This cloth is used for nightdresses, drawers, wash petticoats, and, if they are worn, chemises. These last are seldom seen, the knitted cotton or silk vest beiug better liked and cooler.

Didn't Know Her Customer.

Princess Christian is perhaps the best known of Queen Victoria's daughters and is always actively engaged in philanthropic causes. At a recent bazaar she was seen going from stall to stall making purchases, Prince Christian good natnredly stowing away the small parcels in his pockets. One article purchased, however, was of considerable size, so the attendant put the question, "Shall I send it for you, madam?" To which the princess made answer: "Oh, yes! Send it to Buckingham palace, if you please." "To whom shall I address it?" was the next query, and her royal highness, who dearly loves a joke, gave the prince a comical warning look and said, "Address it to Mrs. Christian." The attendant was quite unsuspicious of the rank of her customers, and so the parcel was duly dispatched to "Mrs. Christian, Buckingham Palace."

Parisian Novelty.

A Parisian novelty for midsummer is the frock of white brilliantine, with vest, collar and cuffs of grass linen. The godet skirt has each gore defined by a line of grass linen insertion, which gives it a novel touch. The waist has a Bhort Eton jacket effect, with a full vest of eyelet grass linen over white silk. The rather small revers are lined with white silk and edged with grass linen insertion. Brilliantine is used for the leg o' mutton sleeve, which has three bands of the insertion arranged half an inch apart as the cuff.
