4 Man SUES FOR BREACH OF PROMISE
Ottawa Ill, is the scene of a suit for breach Of
promise of marriage, brought by a disappointed
male. The circumstances are thus given in the
kilograms OF the Chicago Post: ''Three years
ago an agent for prominent agricultural ware
house followed his wife to the tomb with sObs
and signs and great wailIng. He placed a band
OF Grape around his hst and wore il in memory
OF bis once beloved. AS time wore on, however
he began TO lift his eyes from the ground and
looked more animated and b1eyaut; and in the
course of six months he determined to paw court
TO buxom young widow in Carroll county. She
owned nice farm, and being dealer in agri-
cultural implements, he experienced but little
difficulty in making her acquaintance. He
represented himself TO her as one of the leading
business men OF Freeport, assuring her that he
was doing an extensive business and was grow
ing rich fast. He made her several costly pres
ems OF jewelry, which she appreciated. Their
attachment was srong, and he determined to
pop the question before il grew cold. l. e asked
Der heart and hand; she consented, the day was
set, and all looked lovely and serene. He then
asked that she give him a mortgage on her
farm, saying be wanted 10 increase his facilities
for business and carry il on on a more extended
scale. She refused TO comply with his wish
and said that he evidently made love to her for
her farm, and not for herself, and thereupon
she broke the engagement, and his hopes of
gaining her farm were blasted. He now sues her
for breach of promise. He claims hts dam
ages at $500, and says his laesrated feelings Will
be satisfied with that amount"

German naturalists have called attention 20 a
new incident with regard to the outbreak OF cpl
demcs. 1t lie on record that an extraordinary
hight OF birds has occurred simultaneously with
the appearance OF the disease. The occasions
have been so numerous, and in so N any coup
tries, that IL is impossible tn regard the coinci-
dence as merely accidental. Thus, as far back
as the year 1878 birds of all kinds deserted the
towns OF st. Petersburg aud Riga, and IL was in
mat year that the cholera broke out. The eDi-
demic proceeded In its westward course the fol-
lowing year, and the same phenomenon was Oh
served ia Western Prussia in 1919. and in Hano-
yer an 1850. In all these cases the facts were
chronicled as having occurred at the time,
but they were not supposed 10 have any re-
lation mutually. But when these phenome-
ma were more closely observed by men OF
science more accurate details were given.
Thus, ii was found that in the little town of
Przemysi, in Gslicia, all the Jackdaws TOOK
night from the streets int the country on the
10Th OF September, 1872, ana that cholera broke
out there two days afterward. On the 30th of
November these birds returned from their
spontaneous quarantine, and by that time the
last case of the disease had been recorded. The
same results had been observed in Southern
Germany last year. Both Munich sud Nurem-
berg were VISITED by this epidemic in the au-
tumn, and in these towns it was observed not
merely that the larger birds Il al from the envi-
tons into the open country, but that sparrows
and swallows deserted the town. 1t was a rene
tition OF the article in every sailors creed-that
rats desert sinking him. The inhabitants of
Nuremberg looked with joy for the return of
the sparrows, who seemed to have arrived a.
soon as the danger disappeared. Foreign physi-
clans seem to think the state of the atmosphere
when the poison is In the air has direct effect
upon the birds, who iustinctively fly from it.
Bat the whole phenomenon seems capable OF a
much more simple solu ton. IL Is Well-knoHn
thing that during the getting in OF the harvest,
SpsrTows and the kind OF birds that are found
IN the neighbcrbood OF towns fly of tothe fields
j Ills may he tested much nearer home than
Germany or Western Russia. When the har-
vcet has been Teaped they would naturally re-
turn 20 the shelter OF streets and houses. Even
swallows, though they do not seek the corn
feds for grain, find the insects v hich taev feed
upon in the fields and these birds also return 70
theiI town quarteTs to reassemble for their win
ter hight. Tie simple people OF Nuremourg
and Bavaria probably accepted a. al omen an
event which happened TO be co!nci1ent with the
ARRIVAL OF the dreadful epidemic, but which in
fact, was Of annual occurrence and had no real
come ction with it.-LOnGO7 Globe
