4 caBo presenting details Of unusual sweetness
camo before United statoa Commissioner Hoyue
yesterday morning. Some years ago an amor
ous 1owan, Caligula Orpheua Porrino by namo,
fell In love with, won, and married a young lady
living in indianapolis. Both wore possessed OF
u few thousand dollars. and, after tho brief but
concentrated happiness Of tho honeymoon was
over, they cast around to find ont tho most luo-
thoir respective capitals. After due col.Bidora-
ton, thoy deci1ed that there was in this world
no moro romantic or profitable occupation than
that suggested by Watts' ode which remarks
upon tho habits Of tho energetic bae who
Gathers honey all tho day
From every opening flower.
At tho time Of thoir ontoring upon tho honey
business, not cloud obscurel the brightness Of
