THE MAIDEN’S REVENGE. “Hah!” The word was hissed between the pearly teeth (3750—painless) of the Beauteous Malden. ° “Hah!" she repeated. “He has fronted me! He has scorned me! He has treated me with contumely! Re- morselessly he has ground me beneath af- pork down there on the road, There’s a pig o’ mine ~a motor car just been by. mwm candies in ‘boxes. New store, 767 : oo 3 P markets of the worid gold has a higher standard than' silver. SALVATION ARMY—Reader, City. The Salvation Army was founded in London, England, in 1865 by William Booth, for- merly a Methodist New Connection min- ister. SALT LAKE—Subscriber, City. Salt Lake City is distant about eleven miles from Salt Lake in an alr line, and about fifteen miles by the old traveled road. BILLS—C. H. C., City. The reason that certain bills issued by the United States are marked silver and other gold is that the one is redeemable in silver and the other in gold. BETTING—B. M., Bacramento, Cal If a person “puts up” 6 to 1 on a race and deposits $5, then wins, that per- son will receive $30 in addition to the original $5 deposited. GRAVE OF McCAURE—Subseriber, City. A friend of this department writes that the poem entitled “The Grave of McCaure” is to be found in Hayes' '‘Ballads of Ireland,” page 23L It was written by Mrs. Downing. BOOKSELLERS—A Reader, Sacra- mento, Cal. Correspondents to the de- partment of Answers to Queries who desire Information about business houses must accompany the letter of inquiry with a self-addressed and stamped envelope for reply by mail. ‘Fhis department does not advertise any business house. ICARIA—Subscribeg, City. Icaria was the name given to a communistic settlement founded in 1856 in Iowa by the followers of Etienne Cabet. This individual in 1348 persuaded a number of persons to settle with him in the Red River country of Texas. That colony failed because of Cabet's ex- travagant ideas. In 1850 the colony moved to Nauvoo, Ill, a deserted vil- lage of the Mormons. Thence It moved again in 1856—Iin which year Cabet dled in New Orleans—to Corn- ing, Iowa, and it was named the Icaria Commune in reminiscence of Cabet's book, “Icarie.” TO THE VICTOR—G. A. C., Arroyo Grande, Cal. In 1832 Martin Van Buren was nominated by President Jackson for the post of Minister to England. He was rejected. In the course of the debate on his nomination it was charged that Van Buren had introduced in Washington the spoils system as practiced in New York politics. Sen- ator Willlam L. Marcy of New York, in replying, used the following language in reference to these New York poli- ticians: ‘"Phey see nothing wrong-in the rule that to the victor belong the spoils of the enemy.” KISSING THE BOOK—Reader, Oak- land, Cal. The idea on which oaths or adjurations were taken was that the un- seen powers or deities would always pun- ish a falsehood if their attention was called to it. That is, a person might be as untruthful as he would on ordinary occasions, but whenever he called on one of the gods to witness the truth of his assertion he was bound to keep his word lest the dfety, outraged at being made a party to a falsehood, would wreak spe- cial vengeance upon him. From this idea, which has survived from the earifest times to the present, came the bellef that the proximity of an object regarded as sacred made the oath more binding—that is, made men or women more afraid to violate it. The ancient Jews touched their phylactdties in taking an cath. Later the practice was to lay the hand upon the book of laws, whence came our custom of laying the hand on or Kkissing the Bible when taking an oath. his heel! He has toffed at my sce— 1 mean, scoffed at my tears!” The Beauteous Maiden lapsed into a silence that was only broken by her words: “He is—he is—yes, he is! Hah! But I will be revenged, and deep and dark shall be that revenge! Yes, Henry shall suffer as he has made me suffer! He shall know no surcease of torment! Yes, deeply, darkly, royally shall my ‘manifold injuries be avenged!" So the PBeauteous Malden married Henry. “Who gave the bride away?” “Well, her father did so at the wedding ceremony, but she herself had been in the Labit of doing so before that time." ‘We men 'lw‘noh.

To the Editor of The Call: Permit me to take some exception to Miss Fenimore's article “‘Husbands, Be- ware!” in Monday's Call. An example is given of a woman of the butterfly type, whoss ranks are recruited from such articles, which give a false importance to that class of humans. Perish the idea that there 1s any paucity in the ranks of the true nobility of women. Dangerous In its suggestiveness is the generalizing of a sect as an exampie for the absorption of the susceptible reader, which breeds only the seed of dissatis- faction. The right kind of woman has brain capacity, reason and balance to appre- ciate the distinction between the first flame of pleasure attendant upon weoing of a sweetheart, and that deeper, quieter warmth—a husband’s regard. The tinsel that once dazzled the eyes gives natural way to the affection that satisfles the soul. There is a erving need of the education that tends to develop the rational side of our young women, whose undeveloped minds are ever receptive and sensjiive to that material which is most In evidence. As for those light-headed, narrow- minded men and women (subjects of Miss Fenimore's article) continually at odds, mismated, shallow-brained, uneducated in those principles, precepts and capaci- ties that are so necessary to connubial happiness; it should not de thought that these are a representative class. A word to the imprgssionable young lass. Do not let unrest permeate your tender soul or agitate your gentle breast. Strive to cuitivate that polse of mind and quality of gray matter that will aid you in the seiection of a proper mate, and in the development of a capacity for the enjoyment of living, far beyond the pale of mere physical beauty.
