Far From Mean. There Is a woman once of our town

whom 1 had always looked upon as TBTJT meen.

She married comfortably and moved •way. Her father and mother are In straightened circumstances, she sel­dom visits them( and does nothing for tham.

Could anything b* meaner? Certainly not If it were true. And until a few days ago I never

doubted that it was

"I should say not." I admitted, "but I always heard a very different utory."

Where I Got My Misinformation. Later I tried to think what I had

heard to give me such an Impression, and where.

And I remembered that most of my i information had come from two or

three of Gertrude's friends who had not married as well as she. They had enlarged on the fact that Gertrude teldom came to see her people: thfy

Then I happened to say something' had *aid that it was too bad that she — ' Gertrude's selfishness to a didn't do anything to

her mean financially.

about mutual friend. "You call In spite of all she does for her father and mother?" she said

"Why I thought *he didn't do any­thing' for them. She almost never comes to see them." i

She Had a Good Reason For Not Coming.

"Became her mother isn't strong and she doesn't want to make It hard­er for hex, and If she comes she has to bring one of the children."

"Well, wouldn't you think she would haw* them come and live with her if bar mother iant strong T"

LAST BATTLE OF T H E CIVIL WAR Probably few students of American I

history would be able to tell, off hand, j where the last battle between the north and the south was fought. The | question has-repeatedly come Up dur­ing the debate* in congress and even j the Solons of that august body held i widely divergent views. The truth Is, that the final engagement was ended on May 14. 1S65. In western Texas, and Is known a* the battle of Palmlto Ranch The battle began on the 13, that is, fifty two years HKO yesterday. The battle WHS won by the confeder­ates who. und'.r 'tie leadership of 'Sen. Slaughter (certainly an appro­priate name for a warrior) defeated the Union forces under Col. Barret.

presided, ai tr there were general dis­cussions about arrangements for the coming convention, which will be con- j ducted by Mrs. Raymond Brown, of' New York city, first vice-president of the New York state Woman Suffrage party.

The second meeting will be held to­morrow at 7:30 p. m. .at the home of Mrs Walter H. Lipe, Canajoharie. the recently appointed chairman of the Canajoharie Suffrage club.

A GREAT COMET APPEARS. Comet scares have been frequent-}

since thp dawn of history, hut few of the celestial wanderers have caused more superstitious fear than the great comet of 1861, which was first ob­served by a Mr Tebhutl. at Sydney, Australia, fifty-six years ago today. By the latter part of June this great comet became visible to obsorvers In America and Europe, and It was predicted by fanatical religionists that the end of the earth was at hand. On the last day of June, a "phosphore­scent auroral glare" caused some scien­tists to think that the earth was in the midst of the comet's tall. The nucleus of tho "great'' comet was about four hundred miles In diameter, with a long, bush-like appendage, and It was said to travel at a speed of 10.000,000 miles a day. In the following year about the same time observers In Athens, Marseilles and Rome dis­covered another comet, similar In a great many respects to the "great" comet of tho year before, and fear again filled the hearts of the ignorant.

Whether or not the "great" comet of 1861 was responsible for atmos­pheric disturbances which affected the earth is a debatable question. Certain it Is that on the day it was discovered considerable storms were recorded In many parts of tho globe.

it has puzzled some people to know what has become of him, since press dispatches say nothing ot him. He hasn't even been killed again as he was so frequently during the early part of the war.

This prince has just passed his thir­ty-fifth birthday and for years has had his full share of the limelight that beats upon a throne. At times' the limelight did not show him up very favorably, in fact it rarely did. De­spite tho publicity which has been given this young man, little is definite­ly known of him on this side of the Atlantic. It would surprise most peo-
