A Woman’s Good Name.

Ladles’ Home Journal. Many people who would recoil with horror at cutting a human creature’s throat, which really does not hurt verv much and only lasts a moment will murder a woman’s good name without rerhorse or' compunction; and that hurts worse than death; for a lifetime. It is a meaner crime tnan murder. We cry out, and right! too, against the sensational and depraving habit of making herccs cf robbers and cut throats. It .s a horrible thing to do. And yet I have less of hatred and loathing for the late Jesse James than I have for some people who have never been convicted of a capital crime, but whose tongues, we know, are worse Tfean any knife that ever severed a human jugular.
