The son of a wealthy New York family
came home intoxicated quite frequently.
His parents tried to break him of his in
temperate habits, but without any re
sults. Flrally a friend of the father volunteered
his assistance.
The next time the young fellow came
home in a helpless state the friend carried
him to a dark room provided with a coffln
and dull illuminating flames. Then he
placed him In the coffln and sat beside
It te await his awaking.
After a sleep of eight or nine hours
the sleeper awoke, sat up in the coffln and
looked about him. Seeing the dim figure
of the watcher, he Inquired where he was.
In a deep, solemn voice came the answer
that he was now in the lands of the lower

said: "Well, you've been here before me.

goes to show the difference. In a case be

District Attorney Jerome tells of a certain
citizen wfT&m he encountered on the last
presidential election day. Conversation was
somewhat hampered by the fact that the
citizen's vocabulary was limited to about
elghty-flve words. "Who" and "What"
were evidently one to him as yet, but he
made himself clear on one point.
"How long have you been In this coun

"Ah bane von month," "he answered.
"Are you going to vote?"
"Yah."
"Whom are you going to vote for?"

Claude Alexander of Chicago has some
new work. He operates with a pair of
handcuffs, and pretty rlrls with an aroused
curiosity are his victims. He called on
Miss Clara Hansen, and after an atmos

he yanked out his handcuffs and showed
her how easy he could lock them on his
wrists and wrlerglo out of them.
"I am an expert," he explained. "You
lock them on me."
Miss Hansen gleglod and locked the
bracelets. .Alexander soon pulled his hands,

There was no one In the house, and the
parlor lights were none too vigorous. Alex

hands out, but the handcuffs were stubborn.
Then Alexander told her she must be kissed

could reply he kissed her a score of times.

There Is a concert singer In the west
whose voice Is not only of great sweetness
and compass, but of such extraordinary
power that no orchestra ever drowns Its
tones. .
Now, the husband of this singer fre

ever anxious to Impress upon the public the
fact of the great power of his wife's voice.

for a concert to be given in a large hall. In
one of her songs she was to be accompanied
by a trumpet obllpato. Although the per

she was nearly dead from exhaustion and

Naturally she was much admired for her

among all her lovers she clung to Frank

Wedded After Forty-Five Years.
A novelist could hardly conceive a more
romantic tale than one the climax of
which was the open air wedding Just across
the New. York state line, near Lawrence
vlllo, Pa., of Susan H. Caswell of Rum
merfleld, Pa., and George A. Rogers of
Reynolds, Neb.
Forty-five years ago .the principals in
this wedding, then youth and lassie at a
district school near Athens, Bradford
county, .were sweethearts. But ybung
Rogers, barely of an age to enlist, went
Into the civil war and at Its close he
drifted to the far west,, where he mar
ried. His girl sweetheart became the
wife of a Bradford county man.
1 A few years ago the wife of Rogers dlod,
. and three years ago Mrs. Caswell's husband
d'ed. In course of time a correspondence
was resumed between the old-time lovers,
the result being an engagement to wed.
Friday, May 24, was the day fixed for
Rogers to come and claim his bride, and
the arrangement was that the wedding
should take place at the home of Mrs.
Caswell's sister. Rogers arrived, arrange
ments were completed and It then was
discovered that, though there are three
preachers In Lawrenrevllle, all three were
out of town. One of them, Rev. N. J.
Brown, pastor of the Methodist churoh,
was scheduled to return at S:30 that night.
The bridal part concluded to wait.
In the late afternoon lt was discovered
that a marriage license was necessary,
something the man from the west knew
nothing about. Someone remembered that
Just across the lino In New York slate
marriage licenses are unnecessary, and so
the 'problem was solved. Parson Brown
reached home on schedule time, and half
an hour later the minister and his wife,
Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Caswell and several
invited friends made up a party who
crossed the dividing line Into New York
state. The party halted at the edge of a
forest, and, under a large oak tree, with
the stars furnishing the only illumination,
'he wedding ceremony waa performed.
. Blind Man's Mti.le Wins rirlde.
Attracted by his ability as a pianist and
sympathizing with him In his affliction,
Miss Bessie LrStratton of New York City
was wedded to George W. Quinn, who has
been blind since his birth.
Although only 42 years old, this Is the
. third venture in the sea of matrimony
for Qulnn. He has two sons, but never
theless his bride, who Is many years
younger than he. says Qulnn needs some
one to look after him and lead him
around.
The marriage waa the culmination of a
romance that began with a series of piano
duets. About a year ago Miss Stratton be
gan boarding at the home of her step
mother. In the house was a piano, at
which Qulnn would sit and p'.ay for hours.
The bride, who Is also an accomplished
pianist, would quietly slip into the parlor
and listen to him, not thinking that the
blind man waa aware of her presence.
One day while she was sitting there he
suddenly turned and asked who lt was
that was in the room. She then made
known her presence, and from that day
the two played duets.

His claim to the Judges that his horse

A brief but heavy shower - deluged tha
Mills at 6:30 o'clock, just as the picnickers

ready to start. It came at an unfortunate
time for the treasurer, who was just sit

He stuck It out at the tablo until the rain

water out of his derby hat and catch the

tion evidently was satisfactory, as shortly
afterward he asked her to be his wife.
The bride says her husband's affliction
appealed to her sympathy. "And, besides,"
she continued, "I love him for his gentle
ness and goodness. I realize that I must
be the eyes for both of us, and realized the
responsibilities before I gave my answer."
"Oar Lady of the Cannon."
Germany's greatest heiress, Miss Antoin
ette Bertha Krupp, virtually owner of the
gigantic ordnance works at Essen, sets an
example which some American heiresses
might profitably emulate. She is engaged
to a countryman, Gustav von Behlen und
Halbach, secretary of the Prussian lega
tion at the Vatican. The bride-to-be is 20
years of age, a modest, vklnd-hearted, un
assuming young woman. She practically
owns the entire City of Essen, where the
Krupp works are situated, its 100,000 inhabi
tants being almost as much her subjects us
though she were a queen In fact. "Queen
Krupp" Is one of the titles given her by
her employes, while she Is known from
one end of Germany to the other by her
other title, a title which appeals to the
whole nation "Our Lady ol the Cannon."
The income of Mies Krupp, who Inherited
the works on the death of her father in
November, 1902, Is steadily Increasing, and
will probably continue to Increase year by
year until the advent of universal pesceT"
In 1906 she received a sum approximating
$5,000,0f0 from her possessions, and this
amount Is llk?ly to be exceeded this year.
When Miss Krupp's father died his wealth
was established at fl 50,000.000.' of which he
left about $100,000,000 to Bertha, represent
In tho value of the Esen works and their
supplementary properties. His second
daughter, Barbara, and his widow, were
well provided for from other sources.
As a consequence of her Inheriting the
main Krupp estate, the City of Essen be
came virtually Mis Krupp's private prop
erty. In that city alone she has 40,00 work
men tolling for her. and with the em
ployes of the lnrge number of other Krupp
holdings It Is estimated that Miss Krupp
has nearly 310,000 persons dependent upon
her for a living, when the families of the
workers are taken into account.
Got There Jnat the Same,
When a Kentucky girl concludes to get
married lt Is useless to put obstacles in her
path. It may take her a long time to
make up her mind, but once having de
cided upon matrimony the more d.fflciilty
she experiences "The more determined she
becomes.
Miss Letta Marshall of Fordsville, Ky.,
and Herbert Martin of Su.imlco, Wis.,
crossed the Ohio river and Vied to be mar
ried at Cannelton, Ind., but the license
clerk thought the bride looked too young.
They had' the same experience nt Evsns
vllle. They gave up Indiana and went to
Menominee, Mich., where the police got
them. They made their escape and took
the train, where a detective placed them
under arrest. He was polite about It, but
told them they would have to coma to Chi
cago with him. v
The train stopped at a water tank and
the elopers fll from the car into the night
and got awaytfrom the detective entirely.
Thej wandered around for hours before
they found the friendly shelter of a farm
house, and then Mr. Martin, had to sleep
in the barn.
In the morning they made their way to
Menominee, dodging the officers by taking
different seats In the car. A tender-hearted
license clerk at Menominee gave them the
necessary permit and they were married,
after more adventures than elopers ever
had before.
