Curious and Romantic Capers of Cupid
Married After Probation.
AMAH county, Texas, furnishes
LI a case of marriage after probation
I that Is unique and suggestive.
A widower farmer desiring a
wife was Introduced by a mutual
1. ... 'i
u ... .0 a widow with children temporarily
abiding In a charity institution. Both wurs
favorably Impressed on first acquaintance,
but the lady hud a saving sense of prude
Hess, and suggested that she keep house
for the farmer for a week, and at the end
of that time each could more Intelligently
determine the grave question of a union
for life. Accordingly, she went, with her
children, and was duly Installed as house-,
keeper, 1
The experiment was eminently satisfac
tory to both parties, and at th end of the
week they were married.
The example Is not altogether practical
of emulation, and perhaps It will shock the
sentimental and the romantic, but It con
tains the wise suggestion that folk desiring
to become husband and wife should be
aurs of knowing each other In their com
mon clothes and under workaday condi
tions. I'urlor manners on the port of the
lady and picnic gallantry on the part of
the gentleman are not conclusive Indexes
of character, nor Is the yumyum ecstasy of
Infatuation sufficient evidence of compati
bility. Capld In Soldier's Cap. . .
A unlu.ua way to catch a husband was
adopted several weeks ago by a girl em
ploys la a cap factory ut Pottstown, Pa.,
when she posted In the Inside of newly
finished soldiers' caps this bait:
"My nam Is , Pottstowo, Pa.
Please writs me. Object matrimony."
Shs signed her name, of course, and some
of the cups and her tender appeal doubt.es
went to the Philippines and other piacts
where t'nele Sum's recruits ar$ gatheied in.

otherwise and I'.us answered the letter. TtiU

Telephone News ' Service.
Several years ago an editor In a small
Illinois town conceived the notion of
strengthening his subscription list, atid.
Incidentally, making a little money on the
side, by running out farmers' telephone
lines Into the surrounding territory. Any
where from fifteen to thirty telephones
ware put on one line. The farmers paid $1
a month for the service, and In addition
to having the free use of the line for
telephoning among themselves and to the
merchants of the town, they hud even a
greater boon. The editor, as an lnduce
men to subscribers. Inaugurated a "daily
telephone news service." Every night,
when lie received the latest Chicago news
papers, he cut out the principal head
lines, summarized the leading news items,
and at a certain hour, in response to a
given signal, all the farmers on his lines
picked up their receivers and the editor
read to them the full news of the dav.
In this way farmers living twenty miles
from the nearest railroad or telegraph
station had the news of the world as
quickly as dwellers 'to the great cities.
The idea spread, until now hundreds of
country telephone companies are giving
their farmer subscribers dally news serv

"That reminds me of a western lad. Ho

"He ran the locomotive well enough, but
he could not stop with the necessary pre

"With one station in particular he had
trouble. He ran some thirty yards beyond
this station, and then, putting back, he ran
as far the other way. He was preparing
for a third attempt, when the station agent
put his bead out of the window and
shouted:

"Well, if that's the fellow he had better

"This spirit," he said, "reveals to its
fortunate possessors startling truths in the
most prosaic happenings. Every incident
of life, to a true Sherlock, Is full of won
derful significance as full of wonderful
significance as an incident that I wit
nessed in a grocery the other morning.
"This Incident, which revealed to me a
whole history of marital unhapplness.
opened with the entrance of a little and
lender man with a weak voice.
" 'A broom, please,' he said. 'I wish to
purchase a broom,'
"The grocer produced a 40-cent broom,
and praised It highly.
" 'One strong point about this broom,'
he. said, 'Is the handle. It Is made of tough,
well seasoned hickory. You could knock a
man down with It and not break It,'

Fair (or Dolly.
A successful fair given by a class of little
girls, none of them over 14, was based en
tirely upon . dolls and doll things. Every
sort of thing dear to the doll heart, or
needed In the life of every well-regulated
doll, was there.
The cunnlngest of raincoats, soma of them
made with little circular capes, some of
them with the most tallory-looklng rag:n
sleeves, were made of serge or lightweight
tweed. Tiny aprons of every sort hung
upon a miniature clothes tree, as though
freshly ironed; every sort of apron, from
the tiniest of fancy kinds, made of bits of
lace and ribbon, to regular "school aprons,"
and the most workaday types of checked
gingham, with bibs and pockets complete.
As to dresses and wraps, hats and under
clothes, there were enough things to fit out
a whole army of dolls, apparently, and yet
very little was left when the afternoon
(Saturday, of course) was over.
Someone, probably the grownup who su
perintended things while apparently doing
nothing, suggested that a small tableful of
dolls inexpensive ones, with never a stitch
to bless themselves should be placed close
to the tempting array of clothes on tbe
table hard by. Of course, there was 'a tabs!
of dressed dolls, half a dozen real baby
dolls going like hot cakes the first thing.
But some adorable little girl dolls, dressed'
in the prettiest of little white frocks, sur
mounted by flapping lingerie hats, went
almost as soon.
Mothers came, bringing their tots, who
reveled in an afternoon of doll fashions.
And as each thing was contributed, and In
consequence could be put at low prices,
pennies went astonishingly far In the pur
chase of these tempting things. Washing,

Aged Han Gives Ip Yoongr Wife.
OMANTIC love for her stepson

JT I husband were admitted by Mrs.
Bertha Twltchell In Judae Mc-
Ewen's court In Chicago one day

heart to the junior member of the house
hold. Mated to gray hair and 66 years she
discovered after a few weeks of wedded
life that the 27 years of the young man to
whom she had contracted to be a mother
possessed charms which she only 24 years
old herselfcould not resist.
Buxom and blooming Mrs. Twltchell
came Into court to reveal the secrets of her
heart after Judge McEwen had declared
that he suspected collusion between hus
band and wife In the pas.
"Perhaps one Is often mistaken In love
affairs," was her reply when the Judge
asked why her affections sought another
object so soon after her marriage to
J Twltchell.
The elder Twltchell is said to be willing
to relinquish his girl wife to his stepson
Just to keep her in the family, for she Is
very fair to look upon and nice to have
around the house.

Fly Causes Lawsuit.
The estate of the late Judge Henry R
Start of Bakersfield, Vt., Judge of the Ver
mont supreme court and once a speaker of
the lower house of the slate legislature,
contends that ho was accidentally killed by
a fly; the American Fidelity company,
which had Insured him against accident
for $5,0u0, claims he died of blood poisoning
of long standing, and refuses to pay' the
amount of the policy.
Consequently the case of the estate
against the Fidelity company of Montpeller
has just been entered in Franklin county
court, and will probably go to trial in the
September term.
Judge Start, who was one of th oldest
members of the Vermont bar, died Novem
ber 7. A few days previous to his deal),
he sat reading In his chair, and seeing a
fly on the floor beside him, leaned over te
kill It.
Afterward he suffered much pain In one
side, a swelling appeared and It Is claimed
his death was hastened from this cause.
He was Insured against accident in the
Fidelity company In the sum of $5,0uo, and
the estate brings suit to recover the face of
the policy, while th company contends
that Judge Start had been a sick man for
several years, and at the time was suffering
from' a hopeless case of septicaemia, or
blood poisoning.
Fear Brings Mute's Speech.
Fear that her home was burning caused
Mrs. Frances Magulre of Alton, 111., to
speak for the first time In her Ufa last
week. She ran down th street crying
"Fire!" as if she had heard and said the
word from childhood. Her neighbors were
so astonished that they did not go to ner
assistance.
Jaines Chessen, whom she met on the
street, heeded her and turned in a Are
alarm. When the fire department came it
was found that the fire was a bonfire built
outside the house by boy and that th
smoke from it had filled Mrs. Magulr'
home and frightened her.
Neighbors who heard Mrs. Magulr
screaming "Fire!" declared she uttered the
word plainly and had evidently been forced
to do so by great excitement. She ha not
been able to speak since.
