•he aeroplane flight in no wise con
flict with th* sacred formulas of mat
th y simply i:se new instruments
to :c ill- the most ancient and
tltii* horor *d ceremonies.
Now, for instance. If a young man a
century or so hence finds it impossi
ble to reach his beloTed in the hour of
his inspiration he Is really commit
ting no sin against convention by
transmitting his immortal question
through the medium of the impalpable
ether. A proposal by telepathy, if it
be properly directed and not permit
ted to wander astray and settle upon
the wrong recipient, should be quite
as proper and should be as impartial
ly considered as a kneeling petition
on the aforesaid parental rug.
What a boon this same telepathy
will be to the separated lovers! The
young woman sits in the parental
homestead under a severe matronly
eye. Suddenly a message begins to
tattle upon the keys of her trained
and receptive mind. "116110, Mabel,
(his is John. I have a scheme for our
elopement, etc., etc.” “All right, John,
dear.” says Mabel, as she picks the
iint off her father’s coat and hands
him his hat, "I think we can*shut poor
o!d dad’s eye this time,” and the elope
ment is executed or interrupted, ac
'ordirsg to the feasibility of John’s
scheme.
a n.oro ccmmonruace and yet a
:uc.-t modern and effective medium for
romance has been discovered by the
apple packing girls of the fruit grow
ing west. The young woman who
-slips red apples into a crate wearies
of the society in which she has been
placed. So she secretly ties tags to
he stems of several handsome apples,
giving her name, address and inti
mating that she would be delighted to
hear irom the recipient if the re
cipient should happen to be a male.
Now these buxom maids of the
healthy and hearty west often make
good wives and the lonely bachelor
cho eventually purchases the apples
is delighted with the prospect of com
ing in touch with a pretty girl, differ
-nt from the staid and conventional
maidens of his acquaintance. He
writes a breezy letter and receives a
beerv response and a picture. He
t aeks a shirt and two collars into his
grip and starts west. They meet,
blush, giggle and talk through a meal.
A week or so later they start east
•egfiher—the happy culmination of an
apple romance. Of course, they do
not ail end this way.
Missives Gc Wrong.
Unhappily many of these little mis
sives fall into the hands of the un
available. But romances have come
from them and such affairs are not
confined to apples,"hut apples are the
latest and the girls behind the apples
need little recommendation, if all ac
counts of the apple country are to bo
credited.
This is terribly plebeian, compared
with the future wedding of a girl in
Uhicago with an impatient lover in
Hongkong by wireless telephone and
such things as submarine elopements.
In this age of special trains and scores
| of gilded swains who can afford to
ride in them, a man can pick up his
! beloved in one town, a justice of the
peace in the next, and be married en
route before the pursuers have run
their automobile out of the shed. A
troubled mother may endeavor to rush
her daughter away from London to
evade the attentions of a suitor who
does not fit into the family ideals of a
husband, but by taking a fast train
to Dover or Plymouth and running
out on a lighter, the energetic Lochin
var can get aboard and persuade one
of the numerous pastors always to be
founds on a trans Atlantic liner to per
form the ceremony while the watchful
matron is congratulating herself on
her cleverness.
Results Discouraging to Others.
Everyone remembers that Liim Cav
alier! was captured by cable, but this
must not be dwelt upon, for the re
sults of the Chanler wooing might be
discouraging to those who contem
plate a similar campaign upon the
heart of a maiden far removed.
Lawrence Critchell's success in his
pursuit of Miss Leslie Miller is a more
wholesome example and in viewT of
this episode it would seem that there
are really no obstacles to true love
any more. Every gain in speed of
transmission and y^msportation is a
gain of Cupid. Every obstacle over
come by science makes a breach for
the clever and wily little invader.
Now think what would happen if there
had been no wireless. Mr. Critchell
would have had to wait for the next
boat ana continued his pursuit to
I Paris. There he would, doubtless,
have found that the Millers had gone
to Italy. By the time their stopping
place had been discovered in Italy
they would have returned to America
and whatever the optimistic may have
to say about absence and the fond
ness of the heart, love in these days
of hurry and impatience is not as
everlasting as it was in pastoral Ar
cadia.
Perhaps the wireless was wholly
: responsible for the success of a real
! romance—perhaps there would have
i been one anyway, but at least It saved
: time—enormou^lv. And then it dem
; onstrated br-yond refutation that love
! is a ged wide awake to advantages,
I not so highly perched among the
t mists of Olympus that he cannot de
' scend to use the man made devices,
without which the gods manage to get
along somehow in their own relations,
if tradition is worth anything.

IH TRAGEDYQF GOLD
Death and Mystery Watch Ovef
the Sharon Millions.
So Far There Have Been Four Mur
ders, Three Suicides and Two
Disappearances in the Cal
ifornia Case.
San Francisco.—Frederick Fermor
Hesketh, lieutenant Ninth Lancers,
British army, on seven days' leave,
stood on the pier at Queenstown, Ire
land. The next day he was lost to
the world. Thus another tragedy is
linked with the name of Sharon, or,
as they phrase it on the Pacific coast,
with the long-dead argonaut's money
bags. Stretching wide the list there
are disclosed four murders, three sui
cides and two disappearances. Lieu
tenant Hesketh. in the latter classifi
cation, was Sharon's grandson.
William Sharon was ore of the Goid
Hills pioneers. He stepped out of
cowhide bcots into patent leathers;
from a mountain shack to a city man
sion, from the Crown Point and Beich
er mines in Nevada. He became a
senator frcm that state. The wealth
he left behind made a pyramid of
millions, and likewise a pyramid of
trouble.
William C. Ralston, who oiten had j
shared the output oi his battered co£
fee pot with Sharon in his roughshod j
days, started the list. When the finan
cial pinch caught Sharon's bank and
irightened San Francisco didn't know
whether its money was good, bad or
indifferent, Ralston accused Sharon,
and then took his own life.
Ralston's son, Samuel, went to Si- ;
beria, where he believed there was
another El Dorado. He failed to find i
it, returned and killed himself. Two
of his friends were murdered, another
died in a duel.
Getting back to Sharcn. the Forty
niner. Some time after the death of
Mrs. Aharon Senator Sharon was sued
by a woman known as Sarah Althea
Hill. She entered into the contest for
Sharon's money with enery and zeal.
Her counsel was David S. Terry. i
Terry was elected chief justice of
the California supreme court, and had
served just long enough to become

familiar with the judicial routine j
when he and Senator David C. Brod
erick. entertaining conflicting opin- j
Ions, adopted the hair-trigger method j
nf settlement at the prescribed fifteen
paces. Broderick waited for the see- j
ond. Terry split it and fired. Brod- !
erick fell dead.
Terry pleaded the cause of his ro- ;
bust client before Justice Stephen J. <
Field. Sharon died, but Sarah Althea
Hill's suit lived on. Terry one day ;
surprised his friends by marrying his '
client.
Justice Field ordered the eancella
tion of the marriage contract on the j
ground of forgery. Justice Field '
stepped off a train. Terry and his 1
wife coincidently stepped from a train
at the same time. Terry stepped be- j
hind Field and slapped his face with
the back of the hand. A marshal shot
Terry dead.
Charles Livingston, who was a pro- !
tege of Sharon's, became manager of I
the Palace hotel in San Francisco, j
Livingston had boarded at one time 1
with a certain Sarah Mitchell, when
the fight to get at the Sharon millions
was at its height. Miss Mitchell came
to the front with a package of mvs
terious letters. She demanded $50.00C
for them, but she didn't get it There
was talk of a conspiracy. Living
ston's name was mentioned unpleas
antly in that connection. One morn
ing he was found dead in his room in
the Palace hotel with a pistol shot in
his heart.
Sharon's two daughters grew to
womanhood surrounded by luxury.
One daughter fell in love with Sen
aior Xewlands of Nevada and became
bis wife. The other, Florence Milv
Sharon, was married to Sir Thomas
tlrorge Fermor-Hesketh. Lady Hes
fceth bad two sons, both soldiers. The
lieutenant of Lanciers who disap
peared was the younger.
The Palace hotel and hundreds ol
other pieces cf Sharon property were
burned in the fire which followed the i
earthquake on the Pariflchapast.
Violin With Keys.
Paterson, X. J.—A violin which can
be played with keys, as a piano is
played, is the novel Invention of
Jamqs L. Warner, of Roselle Park
Many inventors are said to have striv
en for what Warner alone has achiev
ed. It is built like an upright piano.
The keys and the sounding board are
the same as the familiar parlor in
strument. The violin effect is pro
duced by a series of flexible rubber
hows, one for each string, and oper
ated by a band which is set in rootiom
by a treadle. As each key is pressed
it brings the requisite bow in contact
with the key wire and produces sound
until released.
Spoke But Once In Fifty Years,
English. Ind.—Insane for the last
fifty years and not having spoken a
word during that time, Philip Durk
hart of this place is dead at the age
of ninety years. During the Civil
war he lost his mind. lie became
superstitious on the subject of witches
and kept a gun loaded with needles
to shoot them Three d -s before he
died he broke his long silence and
predicted that he was to die. He
passed away within an hour of the
time he named.

Story That Contains a Moral It Might
Be Well to Keep In
Memory.
A little King Charles dog, a pet in
a family where he had been the play
mate of a little boy, slipped through
an open door some time ago and dis
appeared. Servants and the children
of the house searched everywhere,
asked questions at ail places w here
it was thought possible the dog might
be in hiding, but to no avail, and the
animal was finally given up for lost
and there was deep mourning in the
nursery. One day recently the wom
an who owned the dog met a neigh
bor at a florist's shop, who had on a
leash a dog strangely like the lost
pet, and asked where he came from.
"Why, he ran into our house a few
days ago and we don’t know where he
belongs.’ The dog knew his old mis
tress and was quickly surrendered.
’You might have had him sooner, had
you advertised." said one woman. "And
you could have found the owner soon
er had you advertised,” said the other
—and the newspaper man who heard
the story added the moral.
CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA
"I can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. It first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on h :*r head. I ttsed every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tor's bill after another, but nothing
cured it. Then the eczema broke out
so badly behind her ear that I really
thought her ear would come off. For
months I doctored it but to no avail.
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing hut sores. I had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so I
stopped hiru coming.
"For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
tben I got a box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was a marked improvement. In
ail I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. I can not praise Cuti
cura enough, I can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks oid until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a well child.’’ (Sign

No Need to Be Good.
A little Shaker Heights girl surpris
ed her parents last week by refusing
to be scared into being good. "It’s
no use telling me Sam/i Claus won't
come, or that the angels will write it
down in their book if I’m naughty,
mamma," she said. "I might as well
tell you that they think up in heaven
that I'xa dead.”
"But why should they think that,
dear?"
"Because, I haven’t said my prayers
for two weeks."—Cleveland Plain

Not for Mortal Understanding.
What fond mother has not, at some
time, said: “My child, you are much
too young to ever understand; you will
find out when you get older all
you wish to know will be explained.”
And how- many of us are still waiting
1 for the reason, for some one to ex
plain—are we still too young? Per
; haps we are. and again, perhaps we
are not—perhaps it never shall be ex
: plained to us; there are things wrap
ped in voiceless mystery.
Runs on the Bank of England.
Even the Bank of England has not
been entirely free from runs nor from
the necessity of saving itself by
strategy. In 1745, for instance, it was
forced to employ agents to present
notes, which were paid as slowly as
possible In sixpences, the cash being
immediately brought in by another j
door and paid in again, while anxious
, holders of notes Tainly tried to se
cure attention. In 1S25, too, only the
accidental discovery of 700,000 £1
notes saved the bank from stopping
• payment.—London Chronicle.
Hew F-st Proved It.
An Irishman was once serving in a
regiment in India. Not liking the
climate, Pat tried to evolve a trick by i
which he could get home. Accordingly j
he went to the doctor and told him j
' his eyesight was bad. The doctor |
looked at him for a while and then I
! said:
"How can you prove to me that
vour eyesight is bad?"
Pat looked about the room and at
last said: “Well, doctor, do ye see
j that nail on the wall?”
"Yes," replied the doctor.
“Well,” then replied Pat, “I can't."

“Tou don't make very good muslo

bass drum as the band ceased to

“No." admitted the drum-pounder;
“but I drown a heap of bad.”
Plain as Day.
A man recently visited the art
museum in Chicago and wandered
about looking at the paintings with
more or less Interest. He finallj
stopped in front of a portrait whict
showecja man sitting in a high-backed
chair. There was a small white card
on the picture, reading:
“A portrait of E. H. Smith, by him
self.”
The man read the card and the*
chuckled to himself.
“What fools these city folks are!*
he said. “Anybody who looks at that
picture would know Smith’s by him
self. There ain't anyone else in th«
picture.”—Chicago Tribune.

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
Is the hest o£ alt medicines for the cure of diseases,
disorders and weaknesses peculiar to women. It is the
only preparation of its kind devised by a regularly gradu
ated physician—an experienced end skilled specialist in
the diseases of women.
It is a safe medicine in any condition of the system.
THE ONE REMEDY which contains no alcohol
and no injurious habit-forming drugs and which
creates no craving for such stimulants.
THE ONE REMEDY so good that its makers
are not afraid to print its every ingredient on
each outside bottle-wrapper and attest to tha
truthfulness of the same under oath.
it .is sold by medicine dealers everywhere, and any dealer who hasn t it can
get it. Don’t take a substitute of unknown composition for this medicine of
knovx composition. No counterfeit is as good as the genuine and the druggist
who says something else is “just as good as Dr. Pierce’s" is either mistaken
or is trying to deceive you for his own selfish benefit. Such a man is not to be
trusted. He is trifling with your most priceless possession—your health—
may be your life itself. See that you get what yarn ask ftr.
