6 THE WILMINGTON MESSENGER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER- 12, 1002. S-H-H- H-M-I-I-i-I- MODERN BY GEOEGE ADE. Author of the Girl Proposition. ."" 4 TUB MODERN FABLE OF THE GIRL WHO TOOK NOTES AND GOT I WISE AND THEN FELL DOWN. r-nnvrijrht. 1902. by Robert Howard ! --" r c 9 - Russell.) Once upon a Time there was a long headed Girl who used to sit in her own Room on Rainy Afternoons and evolve Theories. Her principal Ambition in Life was to stand Ace High with all the Nice Men of her Set. She hoped in the course of Time to tease one away from the Drove and gallop him into the Corral. Now this Girl was so Foxy that at times she got in front of herself nnl blocked off her own Plays. Her Scheme for getting all of the Real Boys intoxified with Love for her was to engage them in Conversation and find out what kind of Girl they liked. Then her Play was to be that Kind. She had no Difficulty whatever in in ducing her Men Friends to talk about the Opposite Sex. They were all keyed up on the Subject and full of Informa- tion. Just as a Feeler one Evening she asV ed an eligible Charley if he didn't think that the Woman of Today was too Ex travagant. "That's just why so many of us shy at the Matrimonial Jump," he confided t her. "There was a time when the Man who got $75 per Month and had about $200 planted could take a Chance at the Game. But now that measly Al lowance wouldn't keep a High-Stepper suoplied with Violets. The up-to-date Maudine is'nt happy unless she has a C-ay-Squirrel Coat, an Auto-Car. $11. 000 worth of Twinklers ana a 14-room Apartment. That's why these Society Shawl-Holders keep on making Love Tight and left but never come down to Case." This was a valuable Tip. so the -"-v Maiden put it down in her little Note Book that she who would make a Hit must convince the Men that her Tastes were simple and Inexpensive. Another one gave her a learned Talk. n the Frivolity and Two-by-Fournets of the typical Seraphine. "You cannot expect a Man to -.- over his serious attections to one of these Feather-Heads," he said, as :ie y-azed thoughtfully at the Floor. "Woman ehould be Man's Intellectual Helpmeet. Now and then a Man may liave a Passing Fancy ior a Lizzie who talks Piffle and gets an Attack of tho Giggles every few Seconds, but when it comes to the grand Hook-Up he wants one who is there with the Gray Matters-one who can play up to his loftiest Ambitions and supply his Homs with that Atmosphere of Culture which it the true Ozone of Married Life." So she put it down that it was her Cue to chop out the Twaddle and be a sort of Lady Emerson. Incidentally she resolved to side-stsp all kinds of Slang, for she got a very trai-ht Line of Talk from an Amateur Philosopher who was in the Wholesale Grocery Business. "If there's anything that gives me a quick, shooting Pain it is to hear some delicate Nectarine dealing out Slang." said Mr. Gentleman Friend. "Now in England, where I spent Two Wee':? once, the Laaies netr use j Slang. They simply say that a Thing is either Per fectly Charming or Most Extraordinary and let it go at that. They may ne Short on Vocabulary but they are Long on Respectability. Besides. I was read ing in a Magazine the other Day that Slang is Vulgar and that no one should take up with a Slang Word until Long Usage has given it the right to butt into the Lexicon. ' Also, this Girl with the Absorbent Mind would clip out Hints to the Young and Confidential Chats, warning the Just-Outs against taking Presents from Strangers and putting them next to Rules of Conduct that would be sure to please and fascinate Proper Young Men. ' ' It seemed strange at Times that these Head Coaches who knew just how to jolly up any Man were not out spending some Millionaire's Money instead of writing Pieces for the Paer. All the' Articles on the Woman's Page anil all the straightlaced Men that she met came down Hard on the Female who is trying to be a Real Bo hemian. She learned from a dozen dif ferent Sources that Men have no earth ly Use for the Zipper who tries to do i Mile in less than Two and kites aroun i in a Hack without a Chaperon and car ries her own Cigarettes. And -he heard nothing but Expres sions of Horror concerning the Woman who Drinks. Her Male Acquaintances often brought up the Painful Subjects They said it was all right for a Man to move up to a high Ball once in a Whik and a Cocktail before Dinner didn't 3o any Harm until alter tne teventn r Eighth. But it did look Tough to 55 Mere Children of about 23 Years of Age going after the Dry Manhattans. After sounding the Men on the Liquor Ouestion the long-headed Girl mile a solemn Resolve that she would never hit up anything stronger than Ch?rry Sundae. When she had her Note-Book full of useful Directions, she found a chanc? t try out her System. She was invited to a Swell Dinner Party at which all the Nice Men in Town were to be roun ded up. She put on a simple Waie Gown and wore a Rose in her Hair and Inst before startine. she locked all of her Slang Words in the Escritoire, whatever that may be. At the Dinner she sat next to a Bach elor who had Nothing But. S- tall- I to him about the Panama Canal jv.st to show him that she was no Piker. ! When he wanted her to take some of ' the Phizz Water she made an Awful Stand and seemed surprised that h should think that of her. This did not prevent him from splash-in- in. By the time the Birds came along he had accumulated a very neat Brannigan and was paying a lot of At tention to a wonderful Piece of Work sitting opposite. She wore a" Red Cos- tume tnat must nave though she was very gabby and called - r T,.- x..t TF-ra TJaiTIPS flttfl III. . tne iucu uji iucu vited all who were not Quitters to stand s b-fcr a Bumper, she was making fair i : FABLES. i i 5' T i J. ! 7 h-h-:-:-:-:-: : : Headway. In fact she seemed to have the Bunch with her. The Wise Girl figured that they weie tolerating her out of Mere Politeness. Later on, in the Drawing Room, thev continued to Tolerate her the best they krew how. The Girl with the Book of Rules play ed a sad little Opus on the Piano, aft ?r which the Fteem--Chaser in Tied leaped on top of the Instrument and tore ut Coon Stuff with eight men turning the Music for her. And these were the Eight who P'd the Girl back in the Corner all about th Qual'ties in Woman that would help to attract Men. She went home thinking it over and the next time she started for a inner '-.- added a Dash and a few BrPliants to the Coster" p. and cut loose up to a reasonable Limit. She got along first-rate, even though sn was dointr a lot of Things that nono of the Men aprove but somehow love put up with.

Harper's Weekly has an appreciative and excellently analytical editorial re view of ax-President Cleveland's speech at Morristown, N. J., the following ex tract from which is well worth read ing. Premising that it has heard ex Governor Hill and President Roosevelt on the me subject, it continues: When now we turn to Mr. Cleveland, we find that he neither shirkd,, nor skulks, nor wanders far afield in tho chase of a chimera, but strikvs H the root of the matter; and against rh? op pression suffered or apprehended from the trusts, propounds a defensive meas ure that would be at once prompt and practicable. Sweep away the high pro. tective tariff, he says, and replace it with a tariff for revenife, and you will paralyze the trusts, so far as their pow er for mischief is concerned. Subjected to the check of foreign competition. American manufacturers and -American producers of fuel and meat would no longer be able to wring from consumers extortionate prices for the necessaries of life. Mr Cleveland did not pretend that the abolition of the protective tar iff would be followed by the annihila tion of the trusts: neither did he affirm that such extinction was desirable un der the conditions of industry and trade in the twentieth century. He is aware that trusts exist, even in free trade England, and that they are needed for the purpose of compromising the econo mies attainable only through manufac ture on a vast scale. He perceives, how ever, that in free trade England, while trusts are powerful for good, thev o--e impotent for evil. It is impossible In England to wring from the consumer an extortionate price for any of the nec essaries of life. That is the state things which Mr. Cleveland aims to bring about in the United States: not of course, by free trade, which, at pres ent, is impracticable for this countdy, but by means of a tariff on import.-, framed with a single eye to the produc tion of the revenue needed for the gov ernment's expenditure. AVe have said that the remedy pro posed by Mr. Cleveland would be at once prompt and practicable. No con stitutional amendment wouldbe need-"-'-no invocation of a visionary righi eminent domain. And more to the same purpose. It worth while observing that by this n terpretation Mr. Cleveland must regard the trusts of free trade England as ben eficent "powerful for good and impo tent for evil" since, under the Englu-h system of control "it is impossible t' wring from the consumer an extortion ate price for any of th'e necessaries of life." Any system of law which ac complishes these results robs the tru-st.s of their terrors and is to be prefer" ' before Mr. Roosevelt's ineffectual meth od of constitutional amendment or Mr. Hill's mischievous scheme of social ism.

The Record is nmiinde d of this poetry by an incident happening to a lady on the streets the ctter day. She was talking to two other ladies near the postoffice. It was racing a little and the streets were somewhat muddy. The while she tucked at iv;r skirts as she made efforts to mov? on. When she did move she left behind 1 rr on the pavement her bustle.

While there has been a disposition shown by the managers of Southern cotton mills to reduce the number of children employed and to dispense with them altogether when practicable, and as soon as practicable, the agitation has been kept up by outsiders, not out of sympathy with the children alto gether, but because this child labor is considered to be a factor in cheap pro duction which gives southern mills com advantage over northern miKIs, hence so much talk about it in that section of the country.

Surrounded by a people who do great things morally, lawyers who make speeches equal to the best In the land and hearing sermons that meas ure up to any he can expect to hear anywhere and so on, why should elec tion to congress be so great a thing as to metomophose him a man of such sturdiness of character, such ruggel common sense and such superb sur roundings.

We publish elsewhere a letter from ex-Congressman Cheatham, of Warren county, who has been for many yeais one of the most respected colored lead ers of the republican party, in which he replies to the charge of Senator Pritchard that the negroes have not been true to the repvbfiican party. The rsuggestion that the negroes have not been true to the republican party is so absurd as to excite surprise in North ! Carolna.

We do not want t take the young peopie or the old peopie unawares, but we are forctd to make th following announcement: On and after Janutry 1. 1903. ta Greenville News will publish no notice of a wedding or a funeral, unless ac companied by Jl: except in such cases as from circumstances may render the events in our Judgment, matters of p '--lic interest. For Instance, if a young couple runs away and gets married, we should more than likely publish the event free and the more devilment ther? was attached to the surroundings th- longer notice we should be inclined O give. If the Irate father of the girl. f instance, pursued the elopers, killed the groom and dragged the unhappy brid? back to her home by her back hair, we should b? willing to publish all the de tails not only of the wedding, but of the funeral nda follow It up with the hang ing of the old man and the sdicide of the unhappy bride.
