MARY SHAW'S ADMIRERS.
Slio States Her Jlouson for Giving
Them tlio Allttcn.
Some time last fall there arrived in
this city , says si Jamestown , Dakota , correspondent -
respondent , it yoiini ; woman who guvo
her nnmo as Mary Shaw , wlio s : id that
she had come hero for the purpose of
taking up some land. She had several
hundred dollars , and though it was
thought Ktruniro that she should want to
embark on the hard life of a Dakota
fanner in the fall of thu year , it was ad
mitted that she was a woman of pluck ,
and that as she had some means she
would probably succeed. As it hap
pened , n man who had taken np hind : i
lew miles south of here wanted to sell ,
and with him Mary bhuw made a bar
gain , taking his farm and house as it
stood and moving in with the determina
tion of living there all winter. In the
course of time some of the men here
abouts who are matrimonially inclined
begun to notice Mary's thrift and indus
try , and , as she was companionable , she
never lacked for admirers. She was not
to bo easily captured , however. Ad
mirers , young nud old , all fared about
tlicsamo , Such as mustered up courage
to pop the question were put oil' with a
joking answer , and all who undertook to
llnd out just who she was fared even
more unsatisfactorily. She had no con
fidantes of either sex , and' , as winter
came on , she kept things shipshape and
said nothing as to her antecedents.
It has bince been learned that Shaw is
not her name. She was a runaway wlfo
when she canto here and her home has
been out in Wyoming , where her hus
band was a well-to-do cattle grower.
One day in the early autumn she was
rumaging through his coat pockets for
something and discovered a letter there
from a woman whom she thought she had
reason to bo jealous of. Her husband
was then oil'on his ranch and would not
bo back for several weeks. Her mind
was made tin in a minute. Horn and
raised in the far west , she was possessed
ot an independent spirit und a courage
which many a man might envy. The ,
housQ in which she lived was in her own
iiamo , and linding u purehrser aho sold it
us it stood , wrote u letter to her husband ,
telling him that he would never bee her
again , and leit for parts unknown. After
a brief stay in Lincoln , Neb. , she went to
Chicago , whore she spent a week or two.
and frpm that city she came directly
here. She had road of women who had
come into Dakota and made successful
efforts at fanning , and * > hu .had ix-solvcd
to try the exiK-nmuiit , thin.ing ( that here
she would find a livelihood as well i
freedom from b'earch by her husband.
The mystery whioh seemed to snrroui
her only madn the interest of the , Ii
Kiver beaux the greater , and if she hi
not been a woman of rare good sense at
tolerably diplomatic in her way si
might have been annoyed beyond me ;
tire by them. As it was she took all t !
attention paid her in good part , and I
chivalry of the valley voted Her the Jinn
somest woman in the territory. TV
weeks ago a tall and linn appearing ms
arrived hero and without stating his m
sion began an inspection of all the fars
lying within ten miles ot town. Ho seen
to have found what ho was lee
ing for at Alary Sltaw's liouse , for , alt
calling there one day ho returned
town and did not leave his hotel aga
except as ho journeyed once a day to h
place in the country. It has now leak' '
out that the stranger is the woman's hi
band , and that ho has made an cxphiu
turn of the presence and the contents
the letter which is highly satisfactory
his wife.
The letter was written to him by t
-woman in questionas it appeared to ha
buon , but it was never answered , ai
there had boon nothing in his coiulit
which warranted such familiarity on h
part. It had been his intention
show his wife the missive.but in the bur
of preparing for his extended trin ov
liis ration he had forgotten it. 1-eelii
that his wife had done herself ami hi
an injustice he spared no pains in traeii
her out. Al first he found the searel
most dit.icult one , but in Chicago he h
got a clue and had followed U succ-ei
fully. After the reconciliation it bocai
a question what would bo done with t
farm hero. The young woman wanted
keep it , and her husimnd , linditig tl
there was : i mortgage on it , cleared tl
up and leased it before leaving for t
west.
The last evening that the couple spc
in the little farmhouse it so happened tl
two of Mary Shaw's regular admin
called , just to see if there was an.ythi
that they could do for hr > r. They wi
received with the customary grace , at
after a little , were introduced to her hi
band , who greeted tiiem cordially , a
said that he guessed lie wet
have to take her homo , win
the work was easier. Ono of 1
callers , an old fellow , was so ov
como with nnta/.cment and chagrin tl
ho became almost speechles-s , luotigh
linally found words to say that he ci
grauilatud the gentleman on having
1 lovely a Wife. lh > hail Ml | < IJMMMl Unit
1 Wi.i faingk- , and if she li.ul LI.UII lie v
free to admit that he would hnvo stood
on his head in n bli//.ard for
twenty-four hours if by that means ho
could have won hrr. The other was
a Aoung man , and his only remark as ho
wlshi'd the couple good night was to hope ,
that they would hnvo a safe journey homo.
All this happened in so short ti space of
time that It was not until the couple bad
gone that the fads leaked out , and shieo
that the little farm house , now occupied
by a Swede , has boon vis-iti-d every day
by u do/ion or more people curious to tee
the place where the thing of which they
had heard so much happened. It is said
that the westerners will visit the farm
iut sumnu'r that the young woman
said so when she . was leaving and if
they do tltoy will be- received by the
entire population.
IN RETIREMENT.
How tlio Only liv-l'rrsldont Iilvlnc
PiiKSCM lilH Time.
Kx-1'rosidiMit Kayos , says a rcrrrsi oid- :
cut of the Is'ow York Star , loads a sort
of nomadic life just south of Fremont , O.
Ho has sixty chickens and innumerablu
goats. Ho occupies in northern Ohio n
position similar to that which Norvnl held
on the Urampmn hills. His chickens
como from every clime and arc black
Spanish , Logorns , Cochins , white
lirahmas , Shanghais and bantams. I.uc.y
milks the goats , which pasture in n
mMglibor'mir granite miarry and go
about chewing the rocks. Once in : i
while they loiter ito Fremont and oat the
theatre advertisements of the bill boards.
Kutherfordauii Lucy live much on goat's
milk and the cheese and the butter that
are made from it. Last fall , when nuts
were ripe , Rutherford thought from the
flavor of the butter that the goats had
boon feeding on mast. A short investi
gation showed him that they had been ,
browsing on the advertisomenta
l > f a negro minstrel company ,
and so had been living on the
chestnuts of the contemporary stage.
Rutherford is quite gray , ami is a plain ,
simple man who laughs and talks with
his neighbors , lie has forty acres , his
goals , and his chickens , and lives as Imp-
nily as an Arab in his tout. Kvory year
> e invites the "upper class , " of Fremont ,
by which is meant the local shop kcep-
ors , millers , usurers , und bog packers ,
mil to liis farm , and these have a picnic
under the trees and drink goats' milk and
onfermonted sweet wmo. It is u great
Occasion for the village small fry , who
( iaiher together to ( liei number of 500 or
bliO to shake ban.Is with a fellow whohus
aeon president. The villagers exchange
awkward compliments under the trecH
end fall over the furniture und have a
oed time ,
Uutherford has a coachman with a blue
coat and brass buttons and a high hat
caught up at the side. This coachman ,
is a sans culottein respect to his uniform ,
for , while his coat , and yost , anil hat go
together , he wears Huthorford's east-oil
trousers. His coat is a concession to
llunkyism anil Kuthcrford'M trousers area
'
a concession to domo'eracy. Rutherford
has a lish-liorn , by blowing a blast on
which he calls the coachman. Whenever
Hutherford wauls the coachman to hitch
it ) ) the horses , he goes to the second-story
window of the house , pops out his head ,
and blows the born , which is about
three feel long. Thu cyclones which de
vastate Ohio are popularly attributed to
this lishhoriu
Lucy is getting fill. She used to bo a
liuekoyo belle with cheeks like red
anples and eyes like sloo-berrios. She
went from the farm house lOuthe white
house and drank catnip tea all the way.
She is a charitable and kindly woman ,
and , as a shining example in the prohibi
tion movement , is considered to be worth
a hundred FrancisMurph. s , Hutherford
himself was once u lively swain at the
country husking bees and apple parings ,
where ho lir t met Lucy , but care on ac
count of his chickens has turned his hair
white , lioth Hutherford and Lucy are
liked by all their neighbors because they
came back from the white house ami fed
their chickens and walked on the com
mon ground and breathed the ( ( million
air , and did not go around stubbing their
toes against the stars.
When the sun is rising over Fremont
anil the dew is on the grass in Ohio ,
Hutherford may otten be Keen with a littlu
pan of grain fcediii' ' his chickens. In
4ho gray dawn the chickens gather under
his window and wait for the ex-
president to rise , as the courtiers
of Louis XIV. gathered at the royal cham
ber. Thu chickens follow Hutlierford
around when he walks through his Melds
and inspect his farm with him. He takes
thorn to poultry shows , and what with
two or three coops of chickens and three
or four pumpkins the Hayes exhibit
makes a large part of many country fairs ,
Often the chickens come back to the lit
tle Kayos farm gay with ribbons and
crowing with victory. And the pump
kins , they come back wearing blue rib-
bojis , but all their gladness is , swiftly
changed into pics. Some of the chickens
"soldier" on the nx-nroshlont. but most
of them lay with commendable industry
and regularity , so that Hutherford guts
on an average fully forty eggs a day. As
there is no such thing as iinfermontcd
cirgnog , cggnog never crosses the Hayes'
threshold , and Hutherford n.ay not use
all his eggs. So he sells enough to keep
the chickens in bone dust and gravel.
Hutherford has a little list of funny
anecdotes , a little golden treasury of
puns , a regular sinking fund of humor ,
and n light armory of wit that has never
rusted forlaok of use. To people not fa
miliar with the older n.tnuntics ins lighter
conversation is entertaining and pleasing.
Hutherford delights to tell funny stories to
his neighbors , and often pauses be.sido
hifi chicken-coop to rolt-to some "chest-
nti | " thaHlio read by a pine knot in a
bitters almanac in IB 17. Of course , the
joke seems crisp , for everybody else who
survived tin' hrst edition of the almanac
is dead. And so it happens that Huthor
ford's reputation as a humorist equals his
reputation as a poultererand many of hin
rustic admirers regret that he ever wont
into politics , ami wonderingly boloiyo
that if he had not been elected president
he would be a second Hill Njo.
Thus passes the declining da s of the
nineteenth president. He once ruiod
( iO.MJO.OUU people ; he now rales 8 xty
chickens. Loved by his chu-Kei , his ?
