HAS Wow HIS CAsE.-What has been known for many years as ''the great Oregon land case " has at last been de- cided by a jury in favor of one Joseph Thomas, otherwise known as "Wrest ling Joe," person now almost one hundred years of age. It appears from the testimony given on the trial, that this Joe had married a Miss Elizabeth Caruthers, in 1916, and that son was the only issue of the union. A separa- tion having occurred, either before or after his birth, Mrs Thomas emigrated to Portland, Oregon, where she resided until her death. The son grew to be 8 man, and engaged in land schemes which enabled him to acquire hand some estate. At his death, being with out heirs, the authorities seized every thing that belonged to him. and were about to have sale, when they were stopped by lawyer named Hannah, who had succeeded in discovering sever- al of the kinsmen of the late MT. Thomas. Soon afterward, the old man, ''Wrest- ling Joe," was found in 8 condition of abject misery, and his title to be the heir of his son was so satisfactorily prov ed that he was surrounded by specula- tors, and his claim purchased. Recent ly, decision was given in tavor of these persons, but as the property is valued at upwards of million dollars. the origin. al claimants continue to fight, which will very shortly be resumed in the Su- preme Court. Meanwhile poor old Joe has been provided with enough money to enable him to live in luxury for the remainder of his days. During the pro- gress of the testimony fact was de- | The estate now valued at a million was only worth forty thousand dollars in 186O
 SECRET MARR1AaEs.-Every now and then the public is startled by the ex- posture of some domestic or social villany based on secret marriage. Some con- tiding young lady has been induced to marry her lover secretly, and to keep the marriage secret for months, and per haps for years. In a recent case the marriage had been kept secret for nearly seven years. Of course a man who wishes to keep his marriage secret is always actuated by selfish, and usually by base motives. He is acting part playing game; and his coniding wife is pretty sure, in the end, to find herself the victim of his treacLery and base ness. A woman should never consent to any such arrangement. Her marriage should be solemnized in the light of publicity, and not in the shadow of con- cealment. She should distrust man who has any reason for shrouding in darkness the fact which-in his estima- tion at least-should be the crowning glory of his life. The man who always has some plot on hand-Who naturally takes to trickery and concealment, and is never ready to have his actions brought out into the clear light of day, is apt to be so constitutionally base that he seldom, even by accident, deviates into the path of honor and virtue. No woman who values her domestic hap piness should ever listen to the sugges- tions of such a man in favor of secret marriaoe

OF wealth still undiscovered while thousands crowd the
cities IN misery and want when they might much better

God does not bestow merely that we may give Him
thanks His delight Is rather In seeing enjoy His
blessings and the OF rapture feels when beauty
meets the eye sweet melodies fall upon the ear are
tokens OF gratitude enough for Him. We give thanks,
then, for Gods sake, but for own happness-they
