A Hulf-Dreud Attempts tlic Ruin of
a Young Girl.
Id tll-Mnkt SMrck for tk' Wrftrli Un.lt.
A dastardly attempt at rape was com-
mitted night before last till the person
of Miss Hattie Leonard, a thirteeu-y ear-
old daughter of 8. F. Leonard, a car-
penter living near the Cottonwood,
between Oklahoma and Harrison aven-
ues.
About 9 o'clock in the evening the
little girl was walking near home with
her vounger brothers, when C. Crow, a
half-breed Indian approached her, drove
awav the boys and enticed the girl to
the banks of the Cottonwood. Here
he «as about to accomplish his designs
xi.-n a noise ivvurred which gave the
girl an opportunity to escape.
Meanwhile the father of the girl had
become alarmed and had organized the
neighbors into a searching party. After
the girl's return home renewed efforts
were made to find Crow, but although
the city police and United States mar-
shals scoured the town and sent
men each way on the railroad,
yet the search was fruitless, and this
morning was given up. The affair
d great indignation among
enderi, and a lynching match
would probably been the result if the
wretch had been captured.
Crow was a typical half-breed with a
broad brimmed hat, long eurly hair,and
a height of six feet, with broad sliould-

A (•rand Show and a CIreat Parade.
The coining Hell* Brot hers and Barrett
circus, hippodrome and menagerie pre-
sents as :i characteristic feature the most
novel, impressive and gorgeous spec-
tacular parade of any of the traveling
shows of the world. The united resources
of the two enormous exhibitions enables
them to do this to perfection, and the
long line of cages, dens and lairs, the
numerous herds of elephants, the multi-
tude of camels, dromedaries and other
led animals, the large and magnificent
stud of trained horses, the many ornately
decorated tableau ears, and the tine
musical organizations that intersperse
and emphasize the impress! veness and
interest of the procession, will to the be-
holder be mementos which he will ever
cherish. A notable episode of this free
spectacular evtgit will be the introduction
of a large number of characteristic
tableaux, idealizing a child's dream of
fairlyland, and accepting the valuable
slid of dear old "Mother Goose" to give ad-
ditional interest to the oharming vision.
This section of the parade, from the de-
scription afTorded us, will bear a more
extended review than we have space to
accord. Among the living tableaux will
lie "The Old Woman who Lived in her
Shoe," "Little lied Hiding-hood," "Cin-
derella," "Blue-beard," "Santa Clans,"
"Robinson Crusoe," "Siubad the Sailor,"
and the "Sleeping Beauty.'' The monkeys
taking an "outing" will excite the risibles
and will be hailed with delight by youug
and old. A miniature tally-ho coach,
built after the most approved fashion of
"Derby day," with its monkey postilions,
monkey coachman, monkey footmen
and monkey out-riders, drawn by pretty
spotted ponies, afford these little low
comedians of nature the opportunity of
tuking an airing. The coach inside and
outside is loaded with monkeys of all
varieties, grotesquely costumed us ladies
and courtiers, who grimace and chatter
their satisfaction as the parade passes.
The procession moves at 9 a. m. on the
day of exhibition. This Hue amusement
organization will exhibit in Guthrie on
Saturday, August 10.
under tho plum tree. Givo him a good
length of chain, ttuoy. Tneu come back
and uiovc all Arabella's thiug3 into tlio
west bedroom I'll take the end room my-
self. If there's any serenading, or poetry-
reciting, or any tiling of that sort, I'll lia/o
tho benefit of it myself."
A slow smile broke out over Zoruiah's
* "But what'll you tell her'" said she.
44 Tell her I Why, that tho end room i? a
better aspect for my rheumatism," said Mr.
Brown, chuckling. "And make haste, or
she'll be back from Widow Pete's. Every,
thing must bo moved before s'ie returns.
And mill the shade down, so ifco city chap
won't suspicion what we'ro up to."
Off trudged Zeruiah, who, iu spite of her
having first been tho light on tho rugged
coasts of Maine, was at heart a true Span-
ish duenna, aud took a grim delight in frus-
trating the intents ol Cupid.
Bolls Arden was youug and pretty. Bella
had dared to ridicule her old-fashioned
ideas. Bella had nick-named her "Medusa,"
and, though Zeruiah had not the least idea
who " Medusa" was, sho dimly suspected
that it was no complimentary term. And,
therefore, Zeruiah was not sorry to see tho
pretty Boston girl "come up with," as sho
phrased it.
" Why, Uncle Brown," cried Bella, when
she came in, with her fair hair blown alxiut
her face and her chocks reddened by *icr
brisk walk across hill and hollow, 44 why
havo you changed my room!"
44 Well, you see, my dear," said Mr.
Brown, craftily, 44 I've an idee that the east
room will suit my rheumatism better. You
don't mindt"
44Oh, not in the least!" said Bella, cheer-
fully. " And I'll go right to work aud ar-
range the things that that cross old Zeruiah
has Hung about so roeklessty. Oh, by the way,
uncle, there was no letter for me, I sup-
pose!" as she glanced at the weekly paper
lying unfolded oil the table, 44 for I see
they've brought the mail."
44 No, my dear," said Mr. Brown, 44 no lct-
ters."
And the cows came, with tinkling bells,
home from tho fern-scented pastures, and
the sun sank behind tho maple swamps,
aud the purple dimness of twilight began to
brood over all things, aud stdl Hubert
Wynton, prisoned up among the tossing
plum boughs, waited in vain for some
prospect of his release.
44 Confound theso good people 1" said ho
to himself. 44 What on earth havo they
chained that savage beast here for just
now? And 1 believe I must havo made a
mistake—that is not Bella's room at all. A
stout old man has sat there, reading tho
paper, all the afternoon, aud I haven't
dared to stir, for fear of being shot for a
burglar. I've seen tho darling once or
twice picking flowers in tho garden, and
bringing water from the spring, but 1
haven't ventured to call toiler, for fear of
betraying my hiding-place. Shades of
Epicurus 1 how good that frying chick smells
—Coffee, tool I'd give a king's ransom for a
cup of it!"
Poor Hubert! He could not stir for fear
of rousing Ctcsar's deep low-pitched bark
and compromising himself and Bella, but lie
grew stiffer and more cramped with every
second of his enforced vigil.
44 They must take the dog to his kennel
before long," ho tnought, as the dew suf-
fused the air with moisture and the night-
birds began to wheel about tho luxuriant
branches of the old tree.
But presently Zeruiah came out with a
tin pan ot water and a platter of bones to
break Caisar's fast.
"Is it all right, Buoy?" Raid Mr. Brown
iu a sort of stage-whisper, from the kitchen
door.
" All right, sirl" Zcruiah answered.
And then, in a lightning Hash, aa it were,
Hubert comprehended it all.
Ho was entrapped. That weazen-faced
old woman and tho malicious elderly uncle
of his beloved were in league to be his
jailors. He whistled softly to himself.
Cajsar, from below, left oft crunching hia
bones, and uttered a doop thunderous
growl at the sound. From the distance tlio
echo of voices reached him—careless
laughter and st ray seateucos here and there.
'•It's Bolton aud Ilalph Weir, coming
back to the inn after their day's shooting,"
bethought. 44If 1 could only get word to
thcml"
Ho tore a loaf from his pocket-book,
scribbled a line or two on it as well as ho
could in the uncertain dusk, and, wrapping
it arouud Ins watch, Hung it aa far as his
aim could roach toward tho swamp.
44 Matters aro getting serious," ho said to
himself.
But the missive had not been without its
uso.
"Hello!" said Weir; 44 a shooting star."
44 A white bird!" exclaimed Bolton,
checking hi* long, swinging stride. "No,
it isn't either, it's a watch with a tetter
wrapped around tt."
And then, in the swampy fastnesses, by
the light of a few matches, they deciphered
the cry for aid which had come from the
plum tree.
44 Wbew-w-w!" said Weir. *4 Let s go
and shoot tho dog."
44 Let's do nothing of tho sort," said
Belton. 44 What would we—or poor, old
Wynton, either—gam by declaring direct
war in that sort of way I Let's be polite or
nothing."
And he fired his rifle three times in the
air, a sort of signal recognition of his
prisoned friend.
44 What's that!" said Mr. Brown, who
was computing tho interest Sa a promis-
sory note at tho sitting-room table by tlio
light of a kerosene lamp.
441 dunno," said Hue, "unle.u its
Deacon Hall ahootlu' weasels ia his hen-
roost."
"Oh, Uucle Browu," cried Bella, with
clasped hands, 41 hope there aro no
burglars arouud."
44 Never heard of such a thing in all Bean
Hollow, my djar," said the old man.
In tho dead of that same night, however,
two masked men appeared mysteriously in
Mr. Brown's bed-room.
44 Your inouey or your life," said one.
44 Miser, unhand your treasures!" shout-
ed tho other.
Old Mr. Brown lay quaking there, quite
hopelessly, when, in an instant, a lithe form
sprang through tho open wiudow, balanc-
ing itself a second on the sill, and thou
hastened to tho roscuo.
A brief struggle ensued; but at last tho
masked burglars tied precipitately, Cuwar
barking wildly at them, aud straining his
chain to the utmost in his effort to wreak
his vengeance upon them.
"Young fellow," cried the old Mian,
scrambling out ol bed, "you've saved uiy
life, beside the Government, coupons that
wore under my pillow. W hat can 1 do to
roward you I"
He was very pale aud trembled violently.
"I'd liko somothiag to eat, if you please,
sir," said Wynton "To tell you tho truth,
I've just come out of tho plum troe."
"Yes, 1 know," said Browu, recovering
himself a little. "You're tho fellow that is
iu lovewithour Bol.a; ain't you!"
44l don't deny it, sir," said Wynton,
boldly. _
"Well, you deserve her," said Mr. Brown,
"aud you shall have bar. It v.\n I that or-
dered tho do£ chained up to tlio plum-tree.

a very happy one.

"Oh, yea!" said Wynton, beamingly.
"And I may kiss the bride!" asked Belton.
"Of course you may!" said Wynton.
And Belton observed, thoughtfully, that
he considered that reward enough for any

A mas in Hancock County, O., tells the
following story: Last year a robin, in

Tho twig took root in the mud, aud warred

into a small rose bush. The nest still re-
mains in the apple tree in which it was
built, and this year the bush bears six
beautiful roses.

HOW TO SMELL SWEET.
Porfumo a Oood Thing If Not
Usod Too Liborully.
Mr. Gladstone's Library.
Mr. Gladstone's study at Hawarden Cas-
tle" is rather curiously arranged. The walls
are covered with books, and volumes lire
also massed in largo shelves jutting out
from *.he walls into the room. Between
each partition of books there is room to
walk; thus tho saving of space in arrang-
ing the library in this manner is enormous.
Tho stock of books, perhaps, exceeds 15,000
volumes, and notwithstanding this largo
number Mr. Gladstone has little; difficulty
in placing his hand upon any volume that
ho may require. There are three writing-
desks in the room; ouo is chiefly reserved
for correspondence of a political nature, and
another is used by Mrs. Gladstone. Look-
ing out of tho study window tho flower beds
facing the castle present a picturesque ap-
pearance, while the heavily wooded grounds
beyond stand out in bold relief aud form a
massive green background.
The Origin of Hoodie.
It is probably derived from the old English
word bottel, a bunch or a bundle, as a bottel
of straw. "Tho whole kit and boodle of
them" is a New England expression in com-
mon use, and tho word in this sense means
the whole lot. Latterly boodle has come to
be somewhat synonymous with tho word
pile, a term in uso at the gaming table, and
signifying a quantity of money. In the
gaming sense, when a man has "lost his
boodle," he has lost his pile or wliolo lot of
money, whatever amount he happened to
have with him. The word may bo an
Anglicized form of tho German word beutol
a purse, and in a figurative sense money.

It is said of a Canadian mother who died

A Scranton (Pa.) mother whoso son had
toothache took him to a faith-healer.
"Look me in tho eyes," said the doctor, fix-
ing a fascinating gaze on the weeping
youth. 44Now your toothacno has entirely
disappeared. You haven't a bit of tooth-
ache about you." 44You lie! I have," yelled
tho boy, with a fresh howl. Tho mother
then took him to a dentist.

Use of the Various Subtle Agent*- Why
E t*h Wotoait Should Kwp Har Par-
ticular llraiiil—K«h«I|m for Treat-
ing Natural Flower*.
The refinements of tho ancients varied in
almost every way from those of a modern
age,- except, perhaps, iu some of the uses
appertaining to tho toilet, and the Bcript-
ures, as well as other records of ancient
customs, bear testimony that baths and
clean lluen, perfumes and swoot odors,
wero regarded qulto as much of a luxury
.then as now. Few are, perhaps, awaro
that the origin of the uso of manufactured
perf umes had a sacred character, yet they
were an invention of tho priests who offi-
ciated at tho sacrificial altars in tho olden
temples; and, doubtless, great necessity
must have been the mother of invention, for
from tho slaughtered boasts must have
arisen most noxious emanations, which all
the water in tho land would not have
washed clean without tno aid of the per-
fumes of Arabia.
Opinions, says a writer in the Chicago
Herald, differ about the uso and abuse of
sweet scents. Certainly tboro is an incon-
gruity in their use by men, but a woman
who leaves behind her a subtle sense of
redolence carries always a double charm.
Strong, active, energetic natures are apt to
scorn an Indulgence iu what is so grateful
to their opposite*—languid, luxury-loving
people. Yet the natural odor of flowers
about the houso are grateful to all for their
sweetness, as well as for their beauty, and
to thoso flowers to which Mother Earth has
refused a fragrance wo give but half tho
care wh ch is showered upon those that can
gratify a double sense To some poor un-
fortunates the scent of certain odors, and
even of flowers, is distasteful, and not al-
ways from association. Even further than
that, the disliked odors render some per-
sons quite ill. With age the souse of smell
is affected and, like the other senses, grows
weak, and some elderly ladies, especially
those who havo boon beautiful, worldly
women, much flattered aud ud mi rod, ab-
solutely reek with tho strong bouquet of
some perfumery.
Their unconsciousness is pitiable, their
vanity deplorable, for it would wound them
too greatly to suggest a lessoning of their
indulgence, and they must be allowed to
reckon. The olfactory nerves are caprici-
ous things, and the aroma which makes
them dilate with pleasure at ouo timo is
quite disagreeable at another. They easily
become surfeited with an overdose.
A gentleman who was particularly fond
of the fragrance of tho violet, both "au
naturel" and artificial, and used a delicate
scent about his person and clothing in all
possible ways, never permitting it to pass
a faint, subtle point, grew to abhor it utter-
ly becauso his negro butler had evidently
the same propensity, which ho gratified not
only by indulging constantly in his master's
essences, but in stronger and less carefully
prepared extracts of his own. Especially
was it discovered to bo his habit to scatter
violet water all over his clothing just as he
was preparing to servo dinner, and when
he took up his place behind his master's
chair the odor was overpowering. As a
ecu sequence the gontlemun becomes quite
ill at only standing near a lady who wears
violets. Another gentleman who was de-
voted to a certain old-fashioned prepara-
tion of lavender was affected in much the
same manner by the accidental breaking of
a large bottle in his trunk and tho conse-
quent saturation of his clothing with tho
strong perfume, which it was impossible to
remove. Since then any scout is distaste-
ful to him.
Women generally have a habit of tucking
little la- ,f suchet powder in their bureau'
Jruwer* and p.iiuing>hcn in their drosses,
but they as generally are indiscriminate in
choosing the odors, sometimes buying lielio
trope, sometimes violet and again rose.
There is much more refinement and dainti-
nt: is of feeling, beside a quaint and certain-
iy sweet coquetry in keeping always a por-
fumo of one s own; it becomes thou almost
u part of one's own being. If one is fond
of the fragrance of the rose au investment
in a few of the long, peculiar vials contain-
ing attar of roses and keeping them in
various places amid tho possessions is a
much more enduring way of perfuming
than using sachet powder. However, the
best way of using sachet powder is to make'
a thm pad the size of each bureau drawer
and trunk tray, of thin silk or cotton and
one layer of cotton wadding, over which tho
sachet powdor is sprinkled, leaving ono end
but loosely sewn, so that the scent may be
easily renewed. The faint-tinted cheese-
cloths which como now aro very good for
this purpose. If a dozen of these pads aro
made at some leisure time the size of one's
trunk they will bo found extremely con-
venient to lay between dresses. It is also a
good plan when a new dros3 comes home to
have a tiny bag of scent at once sewn into
the waist. New beginners at concocting tho
potpourri for the rose jars are apt to uso too
much spicc; essential oils aro much better
than any spices.
Our grandmothers well knew tho delight
of stealing tho perfume from tho flowers;
and thoir 44 still-room," where were ull con-
veniences for this, was a part of the ma-
chinery of every homo. In our country
vast quantities of flowers go to waste aud
wo send to France for our perfumes, yet
nothing is easier nor more womanly than to
make the perfumes from flowers which wo
use. Into a large, flat, clean earthenware
vessel pour some purified fat lard and suet
mixed, warmed sufflcioutly to make it liquid.
Throw into it as many scented flowers of
ono kind as it will contain. Let remain
twenty-four hours covered, then strain off
the fat and add more flowers, repeating tho
process every day for a week. Tho method
of liberating this essenco of flowers from
the fat is very simple. Permit it to harden,
cut it into small cubcs and put into spirits
of wine. Tho delicate odor immediately
transfers itself from tho coarse fat to tho
spirituous solvent, and such a strength of
perfume is procured with little trouble as
would cost a groat deal at a perfumer's.

Cornell University recently examined tho
records of all men who had engaged in in-
tercollegiate contests sincc the opening of
the institution to determine the influence
of tho pursuit of athletics upon scholarship.
It was concluded that athletics, kept within
reasonable limits, was not in conflict with
tho educational purposes of the institution.
Crew men averaged 70 per cent., ball play-
ers 73 and track athletes 77 in scholarship
for tho year; 70percent, was necessary for
graduation.
