Why do women continue to endure

There are many answers to that ques
tion. Sometimes because they have ex-

I they shrink from

A sensational incident, that very
luckily was not a murder, occurred In

each other. But Mury's love for Joyce
grew cold, and she turned her affections
to another young man. This was nil
not very pleasing to Joyce, so the story
goes, and In the spirit of mvenge, ho
had Mary arrested for pllfeilnir coin
from his pockets. The hearing took
place In the alderman's ofllce last night,
and tho prosecutor and defendant were
seated in u back room, when the alder
imm read tho warrant and wits about to

DETECTING BAD MONEY.
riiim the Kansis Tltv Star,
11 seems wonderful to the cn'suul ob
server that cashiers, bank tellers and
others who handle large amounts of
paper money are able, at a glance, to
detect a bad note. Exactly what It Is
that does expose the counterfeit the
best experts find it diillcult to tell.
They say they know it Instinctively.
They Judge not only by tho looks of
the note, but by tho "feel" of It, It Is
obvious that u counterfeit note must
bo widely circulated to make it profit
able. No sooner does a counterfeit
appear limn Its description Is widely
published. Those who are likely lo
suffer by taking counterfeit notci make
it their business to bo on tho lookout
for now, ones, whloh are soon distin
guishable by some easily discovered
mark.
A teller knows of just what denomi
nations are tho counterfeits, and .lusi
where to look for the tell tulo marks,
Ho detects the spurious notes us easily
as tlrti reader docs a misspelled wotd.
It Is no particular effort. It is a huhlt.
Tho principal reason why counterfoils
are so easily detected Is because in
some fealure they are almost uniform
ly of Inferior quality. This is, indeed,
ihc main protection of the public,
Clenuliiu notes are engraved und print
ed utmost regardless of cost, and llio
Very best materials nro used In the
engravings und printings. It Is done
in large establishments, with cosily
materials ami by the best workmen,
It Is practically Impossible for coun
terfeiters to do as well. They must
vyork In secret und at a disadvantage,
and of necessity cannot have the ex
perience to produce such perfect work,
If they get the engravings done nicely
they fall In tho printing, or If they get
tho engraving und printing done well
they fall In securing the proper paper,
Of latu years thero has been a greut
deal of care taken to get papr manu
factured expressly for the notes Issued
by the government. The national bunk

A HOTEL IN PORTUGAL.
An Elaborate Dinner. Served in
Good Style.
I'lom Chamheii Journal.
At the risk of being1 tedious T niusit
mention lu some detail one more of
Portugal's hotels. This time I was
tired after a lonpr day's cycling fiom
Uttsaco, which included a needless
twenty miles off toward the mountains
of Vizeu, due to two places in tho dis- j
trlel havhier -borrowed their names l
from the same saint. 1 was tired, a'd
In doubt if Santa Comba Dao could
receive me for the night. T could not
learn that there was any regular hotel
in the place, and it was after some
hesitation that 1 ventured- to unock at
the door of a little house festooned
with (lowers, in which, I was told,
lived two maiden ladles who received
or refused guests at their pleasure.
At first sight of me these genUe souls
begged to be excused. They were not
accustomed to foreigners, they said.
Ilul I was not to be remitted by a studio
refusal, and very soon their objections
were overcome. Tn the most gracious
way they then Invited mo to filter. I
must give them a. little time to prepare
dinner: afterward, If I would malce
allowances for their rural simplicity
and roughness. And so I went forth
to see the lovely village by twilight,
and lost my way In Its alleys with liv
ing water brooks rushing through
their midst, und hinging women nnd
children In its cottages.
In less than an hour 1 returned, and
this is the menu these ladles set before
me the reader will, I hope, pardon
more of such appetizing particulars
for the sake of my argument; Hots
d'oouvre, vermicelli soup, pucht-io,
beefsteaks (with new peas In shell),
trout, salad, chicken (with new pota
toes), sweets and cheese, fruit and cof
fee, vln do pays (red und while), liv
ery Item of this meal was excellent; J
feel no shame In the confession. The
meal was served In a room trans
formed Into a bower of flowers. Masses
of eurnutlons and roses lllled ono side
of It, und on the other sldu a creeper
with purple blossoms grew In tho house
und draped the door or my bed room.
When the ladles went lo bed ihoy put
fresh wine, cognac and biscuits on tho
table for mo; and lu the morning tin y
provided breakfast and blushed with
pretty prldo when r thanked them for
their kindness. They asked m, for tho
equivalent of Is. Sd, und thanked mo
cordially when I paid It.
WHEW HE WAS TWENTY-ONE
riom the Memphis Scimitar.
There Is u young criminal lawyer In
this city who, on the yceaslon of his be
coming of age, began the celebration of
his birthday lu u way that caused his
household a great ileal of consterna
tion. On the eve of the fete, shortly after
midnight, the young nmn's family wero
suddenly Bturlled from their slumbers
hy u loud vojco lu tho house calling,
"Thero's a mull In tho house! There's
a 'nun in the house!"
The valiant liator fumlllus rushed
from his room, bearing iu his bunds a
heavy billet of firewood, to learn the
cause of tho dlsturbuneo" and to cap
ture the Intiuder, Ills son was stund
Ing in tho hull, shouting at tho top of
his voice.
"Where's the man?" exclaimed the
old gentleman.
"Here, sir, here!" proudly replied the
young inun. "This Is he, A$ hist I'm
