EVANGELINE Simpson' inarrU In New York le- cently to U. Rev. Henry B. Whipple, bishop of Mlnneso- haa aroused eat interest among those who know of the bride's romantic previous marriage. She Is now 40 years old; her husband Is 73. Mrs. Whipple is well remembered in the oountry town of Saxonville, Mass., aa the widow of Michael Simpson, a wealthy manufacturer . carpets and horse blankets, who made an enormous fortune during and after the war. In his day he was the king of Saxonville, nearly the whole of which town he owned. At the age of 75 he won the hand and some Bay the heart, also of Eva Mars, who was 28 years of age at the time. When they were mar ried his wedding gift was a magnificent house valued at 1500,000, which he had built expressly for his bride. Two years after his marriage Mr. Simpson died. By his will he left his widow 11,000,000 in cash. She subsequently received another $1,000,000 from the sale of property in Boston belonging to the estate. Mrs. Simpson has been deeply Interested of late years in Episcopal missions and charitable work and has also taken an active Interest in the reformatory for women in Sherburn. She has been acquainted with Bishop Whipple for many years and was an intimate friend of his first wife. Tells ft Romantic Story. Pauline Fernandzia, who is on trial in Toledo on a charge of letting rooms for unlawful purposes, created a sensa tion by practically admitting that she is the grand-daughter of the late Em peror Maximilian, who was deposed and executed in Mexico. She tells a romantic story of political prosecution and attempted assassination. She Bays she was born in Madrid, and that her father was assassinated when she was about 10 years of age. She herself was stabbed near the left eye and was blind for several years. , Members of her fam ily then took her nearly around the, world, evidently fearing some danger ous foe. In Olympla, Wash., she was married to Captain Henry Bunker, at the age of 76. She had several children by him, who are now in Cuba and Madrid. She came to Toledo first in 1881, but the visit of some Spaniards to this count try alarmed her and she fled to the Sandwich islands, but returned to this oountry and Toledo two years ago. She evidently has the sympathy of the Jury and will doubtless be acquitted. Wins Bli Bride at ft Basaar. Antonio F. Gonzalez, secretary to the ialvadoran consul, Dr. Eusterjio Cald eron, of San Francisco, is a newly made married man, and all because he at tended the historical carnival which was held in Native Sons' hall just Ave weeks ago. His fair young bride was the Scotch belle, Miss Frances Crelgh ton, who was the particular attraction in the "Bobby Burns" booth. It was a case of love at first sight. With a friend Mr. Gonzalez visited the car nival Just to help the worthy cause, that of the Woman's Educational and Industrial union, but every evening thereafter he went to help his own, and incidentally the enterprise profited through the special channel of the Scotch representatives. Genuine ehorb bread was on sale, and although Gonzalez first saw the light of day in Mexico he learned to eat it like a na tive. Within a few days this inter esting affair progressed, and the ar dent swain became the escort of Ml, ANTONIO F. GONZALEZ. Crefghton and her mother, Mrs. J. A. McKay. But grief came all too soon, for it transpired that the little lady was going east soon for a year's visit to an aunt. An absence under those conditions was as good as parting for ever. So on Friday last this young couple in a counsel unto themselves de cided to be married. The groom's fath er and mother were informed of the marriage, and are endeavoring to dig nifiedly recover from their surprise. The brothers of the family hastened to wish their brother and his bride joy, and Mr. Gonzalez Is quite confi dent and willing to let his wife's sweet personality win its own way In his family. The groom is very popular in Spanish circles, and has been attached to the Salvadoran consulate for sev eral years. He is an accomplished mu Iclan, and was educated at Santa Clara college. IHs father amassed great wealth lo t Carmen mine. ' Mamma- mnbra Ike rreekeiy. rnnamti oxdtement attended the mar riage in New York city the other day of Miss Virginia Rouss, daughter of blind millionaire Rouas, and her cousin, David Lee. The wedding was an elopment Virginia is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rouss, who discouraged suitors coming tp the handsome Fifth avenue home. Both parents hoped the girl would not marry, although Mrs. Rouss was will ing provided the man was wealthy and socially prominent. She adopted all sorts of schemes to dismiss any bold 71 nth who sought to call on her pretty daughter. 8ome time ago David Lee, a cousin of Virginia, and descended from th ' Lees of Virginia, came to New York, to work for his uncle, Mr. Rouss. Mr. Lee was taken Into the Rouss home, where he remained until a week ago, when he declared his love for Virginia. This was a great shock to the parents, as they had never regarded him in the light of a suitor, as he wal younger than their daughter and a cousin. After he was sent away young Lee communicated with his sweet heart and the other morning she met him at a minister's house and they were married. Afterward they drove to Mr. Rouss' office. He forgave them but said he didn't care to have the task of telling his wife. Finally a telegram was sent Virginia's mother, acquainting her with the marriage. Mra. Rouss' rage took form in smash- VIRGINIA ROUSS. ing valuable bric-a-brac and . throwing furniture through the plate glass windows and otherwise demoral izing her handsome home. The ser vants have not yet recovered from their fright. Young Mrs. Lee thinks her mother will in time forgive her. Romance of m Indian Maid. , A divorce case, in which members of the Sioux tribe are principals, has been commenced at Chamberlain, S. D., and so far as romantic features are concerned is quite interesting. First Born, a redoubtable warrior, and Appearing Earth, a reservation belle, were married at the agency by United States Indian Agent A. P. Dixon in October, 1890. Both are members of the Crow Creek tribe of Sioux. All went smoothly in the First Born household until two years ago, when a young Sioux beauty named Good Na tured Fool Bear appeared on the scene. The red-skinned beauty had been at tending an eastern Indian school and had returned to the reservation for her vacation when she and First Born met and formed a warm attachment, for each other. Naturally the Jealousy of the patient wife was aroused. Then the recreant husband and the young charmer decided to elope. They fled to Yankton agency, but were followed by Indian police and forcibly carried back to Crow Creek agency, where they were thrown into jail. After re maining in Jail for a time they were liberated, and the relatives of Good Natured Fool Bear again sent her to the eastern school, hoping that the separation would cause the lovers to forget each other. A few months ago the Indian girl returned to her home on the reserva tion. First Born and she left the res ervation September 10 and went to Gann Valley, the county seat of Buf falo county, where they were married by Rev. E. P. Swartout, a Methodist minister. They returned to the reser vation in the evening and the next morning were placed In Jail. A com plaint against First Born was filed with United States Commissioner Stuart, charging him with bigamy, and a wararnt was issued and served by Deputy United States Marshal Lewis. The prisoner engaged the services of ex-Commissioner Morrow, who main tained that the United States was without jurisdiction in the matter, as the marriage ceremony constituting the act of bigamy was performed outside the Crow Creek reservation and there fore only subject to the state statutes. The United States commissioner con curred in this view and First Born was released. His lawful wife has now Instituted divorce proceedings against him for bigamy. Dorothy L. Costello'a Romance. This belle of East New York brought to a sudden end preparations for her wedding to a real-estate dealer by an nouncing that she had been married at Asbury Park to her first love, Sidney Gifford. The two were lovers four years ago and were reconciled by meet ing at the bedside of Mr. Gifford'f brother, the latter being ill. Famous Madntone. W. T. Bradwell of Tilton, Ga., pos sesses a curiosity in the shape of a madntone, given him by an old sea captain ten years ago. It has been tried in numbers of cases on snake and mad dog bites, and in no instance failed to draw the virus.

Getting the big head shrinks the heart. The fears we borrow are the hardest to drive away. Unless you want to be poor don't try to keep all you get. It is harder to dine with some men than it is to last alone. We are rich not in what we have, but in what we cannot lose. Live to do good and vou will never tire of your employment. When a little man is lifted nr everv body finds out that he is little. lhe man who thinks ha known others is a great stranger to himself. The man who would be considered wise often turns out to be otherwise. If you knew that to-morrow wonld be your last day how would you spend imsr The man who has lived onlv for himself has wasted his time and robbed the world. There are some very important les sons which can only be learned from a mistake. It is doubtful if there is anv man who has not at some time in his life been a hypocrite. There can be no true and abiding comfort and peace that is not rooted and grounded in faith. The business of fault finding would soon come to an end if everv fault finder could only be well introduced to himself. Money is one of the levers that moves the world, and it always moves it in tne ngnt direction when a godly man controls it. - i!am s Horn. A Lively liear Hunt. A Jackson (Ky.) letter to the Lex ington Herald tells of a lively bear nunc in .Breathitt County : "On last Tuesday Steve Dehart shot and killed a black bear near Red River, in Menifee, which is about five miles notheast of Dundee station, on the Juexington and Eastern Railway. . -rv.i . . . . xur. .uenars was inineen days out on the hunt for the bear, when he found his den in a ledge of rocks about 250 feet from the ground, and he had to go over the cliff eiehtv feet hia-her. Leaving his gun and two dogs on top 01 tne eim, ne went into the den to look for the bear, and as he was crawl ing uiong tne aen tne Dear made a roaring noise, and then Dehart ran back on top of the cliff for the gun and a dog. The dog had to be tied by the head with a rope and let over the cliff intc the den, when all at once the bear seized the dog by the throat, killing him instantly. Then another dog was lowered in the den, and as the bear made a rush for the dog Steve shot the bear between the eyes, slight ly wouflding him. The bear regained his feet and got back into his den, re maining there until the next morning, while Dehart lay by the den all night trying to punch the bear out with a pole. Then early the next morning he ran a long pole into the den, and as the bear made a rush for the mouth of the den Steve shot him in the head. tkis shot being fatal. About this time Dehart felt that he did not want any more bear hunts with a squirrel rifle. The bear weighed 'about 300 pounds net, and was about ten years old. The bear's hido, when tacked to the wall. was six feet and ten inches long and five feet broad." The flernooii Nap. The frequency with which medical men are asked whether it is harmful to indulge in the "afternoon nap" is not, perhaps, surprising, for several rea sons. Most persons have had experi ence in the seducive charms of the somnolence which has followed the comfortable ingestion of a midday or evening meal. The meal finished, the diner arranges himself comfortably in an armchair, takes up a newspaper and prepares to make the most of the restful conditions of his mind and body. But nature soon begins to as sert her sway. In time, the eyelids close, the head begins to nod, the newspaper falls from the hands and the symptoms of a nap are complete. Whether the "winks" be forty or one hundred in number, the result is the same a short, sound sleep. Then oomes the question, Is it harmful thus to fall asleep after a meal ? By no means, for the very obvious reason that the process is merely a physiolog ical one, and as such, when it occurs, is quite natural. When digestion ia in progress, nature has arranged that all the available blood in the body shall be collected in and abont the digestive organs, Consequently, the blood supply to the brain falls to a low ebb, and thus sleep is easily in duced. On the other hand, of course, physiologically, it is wrong for brain work to be attempted immediately after a solid meal. Medical Press. Dream Was fulfilled. Don Waggoner, the twelve year-old son of George Waggener, of Independ ence, .Kan., was shot and seriously wounded while out hunting by the accidental discharge of a gun. A queer incident of the affair is that his father was away from home at the time, but the night before dreamed that serious accident would happen at home the next day. This so worked upon bis mind that he started for home the next day, and arrived just as his wounded son was carried into the house. Chicago Chronicle. Celery Oil in Restricted Demand. Celery oil now finds a restricted market, the oil being produced chiefly in Germany. It is distilled from the fresh leaves and imparts the peculiar flavor of oelery to perfection. There is an increasing demand for the oil and larger production of celery for its manufacture. New England Home stead. 7" Fighting a Bob-Cat. The ugliest appearing animal that ever walked a log. killed a rabbit or , fought a trap is the lynx, which is just as ugly as it looks ten months in the year, and somewhat uglier during the other two. Not only will the lynx fight anything that walks in the voods, but it will also tackle a visitor from the clearings, be he man or dog, or half grown calf, if the occasion offers, says a writer in Shooting and Fishing. Jim Berry was hunting up in Maine about forty miles north of Greenville, when he and his friend came suddenly upon the carcass of a caribou which a bear was eating. The bear made itself scarce, much to Jim's regret, as he wanted to kill a bear. Without saying anything to his friend, he left camp the next day and started for the carcass, Intending to watch it in the hope that the bear would return. He waited and watched till about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when he began to think df returning to the camp. A soft footfall back in the woods, the crafty step of some wild animal, just then sounded in his ears. Pretty soon the beast was chewing the caribou meat, and Jim could see it plainly. He leveled his buckshot gun and pulled the trigger when the wabbling muzzle was point ed in what he thought was the right direction. The beast went down, and Jim started for it. Then he stopped with his mouth open. The beast had leaped to its feet and jumped sideways with its back up. Jim knew the yell, and he also recog nized the humped back. It was a wounded lynx spoiling for a fight. Not having time to level his gun to shoot, the man cluDbea it, and the blow stunned the cat a little, but the beast got in a rake on the man's leg that tore his trousers and hide, too. An other frantic sweep of the gun barrel laid the beast flat, and then a revolver bullet killed the animal. The buck shot had torn the top of the lynx's head enough to make it aDgry. FREE!
