A DETROIT G1gL.-The Detroit Free Press
of Monday relates the story Ut marriage in
that city few nights ago: 1t seems that John
Doe and Mary Roe had been "engagcd' for
year or more, he being railroad man, and she
a fine girl of eighteen. A day was set for the
marriage, and John spent about two hundred
dollars for new clothes, engraved cards Of inv-
tation, and preparations for banquet. 1t had
been announced in church that the marriage
would take place at a certain hour IN the morn
ing, but it ddu't. The evening before the day
set down. John called at the house, banded the
bride elect the invitation cards and went Oft
with heart as big as turnIp. He had only
been goue few minutes when an old lover
came to the house, was grlcvcd and astonlshed
and pleaded with such elOquence that the girl
took his arm, went to proper official, aud III
less than half an hour they were married.
When the invited guests assembled next morn
ing Mary Roe was in Chicago, on her wedding
tour and John Doe was just starting tor the
depot, butcher knife hidden under his vest
and the butt end Of a revolver to be seen in his
hip pocket
THE LLOYD CASE AGAlN.-A correspondent
of the Fredericksburg Herald says that in the
Lloyd case it is i matter of great Importance
whether evidence in relation to the poisoning
of the other members Of the Lloyd family
(provided it can be provcd) would be admissi-
bic. upon trial in the poisoning case OF Maud
LLOYD. In a recent case decided by Baron Pol
lock, and Just reported, he decides that such
evidence is admissible; and think that in
Mrs Sherman's case in Connecticut, the
Court ruled likewise, but that in Mrs.
Wharton's case the Court ruled otherwise.
1t is very grave question, affecting all Of the
cases in tho country.

TIE TROTTING IORSE.-Prior to 1920 Bos-
ton Blue was the only trottng horse that had
beaten three minutes but since that time, by
selective breeding from thoroughbred stock
and judicous training, we have many horses at
the present day that can trot under two min
utcs and twenty seconds Our high-bred trot-
tiers resemble the thoroughbred racer so much
in appearance that the gait alone is the distin-
gushing difference between them. Many Of
our very fastest trotters are three quarters or
seven cighths pure blood, and are the most
beautiful animals on earth. The value of the
trotting horse has increased immensely within
the last thirty years. When the famous trot-
ter Dutchman, whose three mile record stood
at the head of the list for thirty. three years,
was purchased by MIR. Hammel, of Philadel-
phia, just prior to his great performance Of
three miles in 1921, the price paid for him was
three thousand dollars, whereas since that time
many horses that could not have performed the
feat that he did have been sold for from twenty
to thirty thousand dollars. The cause
of the great advance in the rate OF the trottlng
horse was the great rivalry that existed among
our old merchants and wealthy citizens for the
possession of speed, and their inclination to
make matches on their respective tavorites,
and trotting tracks were laid out all over the
country to encourage this laudable pride in i'm
proving the trottDg horse by cu!tlvating his
action The country became much enriched by
the increasing value Of the improved system OF
breeding, until at this time the value Of the
horses at present in America may be estimated
at the enormous figure OF three thousand mil
lion dollars. C!D-N l. Herald.

Another Lola MOntcZ.

A sharp young American woman, a
Mrs. Fanny Jordan, whose maiden
name was Chumley, has been playing
a pretty and profitable game with the
King OF Bavaria. His Majesty rarely
appears in the capital, but leads an iso-
lated life at his villa of Hohenschwan-
gan, where his chief enjoyment is that
of music. The lively adventures went
to the place with the sweet and pretty
name. and took lodgings at the Golden
Bear Hotel, determined upon the con-
quest of the King, Walking out
with her femme dc chdHber,
when she saw His Majesty APP,
preaching she fell to drawing the beau
tiful landscape with all her might. The
King, who is proud Of the scenery, APP
preached the fair artist and opened an
affable conversation Then he invited
the engaging Fanny to visit his coun-
try-seat and gave her a white mare, a
diamond bracelet, his portrait frame III
solid gold set with emeralds, and other
gifts Of great value. Then he lent her
money in quite large sums and then
his uncle Leopold, hearing of the mat
ter, employed two Munich detectives
to hunt up the antecedents of the en-
chantress. Learning his determinati II,
she fed leaving behind a trunk contain
ing 100 letters from different lovers.
For the last three years the lady has
been seeking, and occasionally finding,
her fortune in different European capt.
tails Her last affair, before the Bal
varian speculation, was in Berlin, where
she did so bedevil an unfortunaee Col
onei that he resorted to forgery to
CRAFTY Ler iucessant demand for
money, and so was ANONYMOUSLY cash
tered. The Bayarian detectives having
found her in a retired village, allowed
her to make choice between leaving the
country or gong to prison. So she
continued her flight into Switzerland,
with so, 600 in money and valuables,
the net proceeds of her Hohenschwan-
gan speculation.

Tea Tippling.

The attention of tea drinkers, espec-
tally of those who, from their devotion
to the decoction whiclecheers but not
inebriates, are entitled to the name of
tea bibbers, is respectfully called to
the words of wisdom of an English
physician, DR.. Arhdge. The Lancet
quotes him as saying that tea tipping
is not whit less dangerous to health
than the inordinate use of opium or
alcohol In anything but moderate
quantities it is as distinctly a narcotic
poison rs either of them. He says 1t
Is capable of running the digestion,
of enfeebling and disorderlng
the hearts action, and of shatter-
ing the nerves. And it must be re-
membered that not merely is it a ques-
ton of narcotic excess, but the enor-
nous quantity OF hot water which tea
blbhers necessarily take, is exceedingly
preiudicial, both TO digestion and nu-
triton. In short, without pretending
to place this evil on level, as to gen
eral effect, with those caused by alco
hole drinks, one may well insist that
our tcetotal reformers have overlooked,
and even to ao small extent encouraged,
a form Of animal indulgence which is
as distinctly sensual, eXtravagant and
pcrniclous ms any beer-swilling or GIN
drinking in the world.
