CAN YOU FIGURE THIS OUT?
Remarkabls Mixup in Relationship Keeps
a New York Town Guessing,
If the people of Gouverneur ever be
gin to figure out the relationships that
are likely to grow out of the several
marriages between members of the
Brown and Price families, says the
New York World, the harvest of luna
tics will be appalling. When In 1000
Francis L. Brown, widower, and Electa
M. Price, widow, each with three
children, were married, there was
some speculation as to how the two
sets of youngsters would assimilate
Into one family. Not a few pessimists
wagged their heads and sagely prophe
sied that there would be a grand "bust-
up" sooner or later.
Brown, with his wife and the six
children, took up his home on the
rrince farm, and there, despite the
croakers, all lived in harmony year
after year. And as for assimlllatlon,
young Earl Brown and his stepsister,
Alice Trice, fell In love and were mar
ried two years ago. The second stop
in amalgamation, with the promise of
consequent genealogical complications,
was made yesterday, when Eugene
Price, brother of Alice Price-Brown,
married Lena Brown, sister of Eugene
Frlcc's brother-in-law, the said Lena
taking as her husband her own broth
er-in-law, having by the marriage of
her brother to Alice Price, her step
sister, become the sister-in-law of her
stepsister, and by her own marriage
the sister-in-law of her full brother,
to say nothing of being double sister-in-law
to the aforesaid Alice Price
Brown. Lena's father and her step
mother are, through her marriage, her
father-in-law and her mother-in-law,
and the same rule applies to all four
of the children who have married.
The foregoing is a base for calcula
tions, it any one dares to discount the
future and place the relationships of
the children that may come to Alice
Price-Brown and Lena Brown-Price
and the children of these children.
There is still left unmarried one child
of each set, a hoy and a elrl. Thev
are too young to marry, but they have
shown such a strong attachment for
each other that the outcome of their
fondness will no doubt result in a wed
ding. A Prohibition Animal.
One of our borse dealers went up to
South Omaha the other day and pur
chased several very fine looking ani
mals, which he had shipped hero. One
of our dealers in liquors and beers
needed Just such a horse as one of
them for his wagon, and this animal
filled the bill to a dot. The horse had
every appearance of doing the work,
and a bargain was reached, with a pro
viso of course, that the horse would do
the work. He was harnessed and
hitched to the aforesaid wagon, when,
lo, and behold, he would not budge an
Inch with It. What appears so very
strange about the horse is that he will
work cither single or double hitched
to a buggy, but refuses to pull a beer
wagon. This animal must have form
erly been owned by a prohibitionist,
as this is one of the strangest freaks
ever known by old horsemen, and
his action even stumps the owner,
who has been a dealer In horseflesh
In this city for many years.

Twelve Years for One Cent.
After spending twelve years of his
life in prison for the theft of one cent
from the government, Elsworth De
france, a young Nebraskan, has just
been released from the government
prison at Sioux Falls, S. D. Twelve
years ago when 18 years old Defrance
got drunk and held up the mall carrier
near Gordon, Neb. Defrance got one
cent, but was arrested and sentenced
according to federal laws, which pre
scribe a life term for robbing a mail
carrier.
Defrance was friendless and was
soon forgotten. The judge who sen
tenced him intended to recommend a
pardon after two years, but died sud
denly, and the other court officials
were succeeded by others who did not
know Defrance. The prison chaplain
at Sioux Falls became interested In
Defrance, learned his story, and ap-
Dealed to President McKlnley, who
commuted the sentence to 13 years.
Three years were taken of! for good
behavior.
