A Wealthy WOOl-GrOwer Chasing: HIS

from the Baltimore Americana
Mr.. Barnard F. Roswell is merchant an(
wool-grower in the Western Reserve of Ohio
He makes his home near Youngstown, Ma
honing County, and in the course Of an active
business life of forty years has amassed con-
considerable wealth. His wife has been deaC
about sixteen years, and his family consisted
of a SOB, now in the employ OF the Unite(
States Corps of Engineers, and daughter
seventeen wears old, Il graduate from Eassal
College.
Running on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne anC
Chicago Railroad was employed as passcn
ger conductor, Mr. Frank Pattison. He met
Miss Roswell on the train frequently. ant
became acquainted with her. Acquaintance
led to friendship, friendship to intimacy, anc
intimacy ripened into love. Roswell ohjec-
ted to the association Of his daughter with a
railroad conductor, and forbade Pattison tc
the house. Secret meetings were arranged
between the enamored pair. but seeing no
hope Of receiving the consent Of the obdu-
rate parent, they determined to elope. Pat
tison quietly obtained leave of absence from
the manager of the road, and Miss Roswell
obtained her fathers permission to visit a
friend at Garfield, neighboring town. She
did not return. and the father, filled with the
gravest apprehensions, set out to seek her.
She had not been to Garfield at ALL and hear
ing Just at this time that Pattison had got
leave of absence, he started in pursuit. In
the meantime the fleeing couple had crossed
the country to Enon Valley, where they took
the main stem of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad. The train was be-
lated, and the one upon which Mr.. Roswell
was following overlook them just outside of
Allegheny, and the two trains consolidated
and were taken to Pittsburg. In some mys-
terious way both parties escaped seeing each
other, until just as the train on the Pennsyl-
vania road was about to pull out from the
depot, Pattson saw his father-in-.aw board
ing the same train, and, without waiting for
bag or baggage, the lovers slipped out OF the
car at the other end and saw the train which
bore their pursuer speed away.
Marriage was determined on at once. The
Rev. DR.. Grimes performed the ucIcuivny,
and the couple took the train to the Centen-
NAL to enjoy their wedding trip.
The party reached Philadelphia, spent a
few days, and yesterday morning took the
limited express for Washington, intending to
60 home over the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. But the father had struck the trail and
received information of the route Pattison
would probably pursue; so he watched all
the trains through the Charles street station.
Yesterday when the limited express rolled
in he was there, and in the window of Pull
man car sat his daughter glowing and hap.
py in her new relations. She raised the Win
dow, and placidly smiling on the old gentle
man, said: "How de do, pa:" The rest as

How Sarah Kepulsed Him.

When she came to work for the family on
Congress street, the lady of the house sa,
down and told her thatagents, book -peddlers,
hat-rack men, picture sellers, ash-buyers, rag
men, and all that class of people, must be
met at the front door and coldly repulsed
and Sarah said she'd repulse 'em if she had to
break every broomstick in Detroit.
And she did. She threw the door open
wide, putfed right up to them, and when she
got through talking the checklist agent was
only too glad to leave. 1t got SO after awhile
that peddlers marked that house, and the door
bell never rang except for company.
The other day, as the lady OF the house
was enjoying q nap, and Sarah Was wiping
off the spoons, the bell rang. She fastened
to the door, expecting to see lady, but her
eyes encountered slim man, dressed IN
black and wearing necktie He was the
new minister, and was going around to get
acquainted with the members of his flock,
but Sarah wasn't expected to know this.
''Ah-um-is Mrs.-ah? 2
''Git!" exclaimed Sarah pointing to the
gate
'Bcg pardon, but I'd like to see-see-?'
''Meander..' she shouted, looking around
for the Weapon. ''We don't want any flour

"You are mistaken" he replied, smiling

4 Queer Fish out Of Water.

Yesterday one of tie oldest and ugliest
specimens we have ever seen was caught in
the trap of William Weaver, off Taylor 8
Canonicut Island. 1t is about three and. a
half feet in length, by about one and a half
feet in breadth in its widest part, with skin
like that of shark all ugly mouth, with four
rows of teeth, and its shape is something like
that of bcllows-fish. Its mouth is on the
head extremity, and not at all underneath,
while its side fins are more like the clipped
wings of fowl. 1t was very savage, and
when an attempt was made to take it from
the trap with large iron-rimmed scoop net,
it sprang forward like swapping turtle aud
seized the rim of the net, and hung to it until
it was placed IN the boat. One of the fisher
men afterward attempted to poke him with a
short stick, and the fish seemingly contrac-
ted his body, and then sprang savagely for
ward, seizpg the mans finger and decorating
it severely. The nondescript weighs over
thirty pounds. -P>ocjdeuce Journal

Cardinal AntOneIli,

Cardinal Antoneli, Who expired Monday
morning, was born at Sonino. in April, 1906,
and was brought up at at Rome for the
Church. He was the son of an Italian
nobleman, noted through Italy for his great
wealth and his talents as Il tinancier. Other
members Of his family had been members of
the College of Cardinals in the last century,
and when Giacomo Antonelli had taken Or
ders, he soon began to fill various official
posts under Pope Gregory XVI. lnheriting
q prncely fortune and a wonderful aptitude
for business from his father, his rise in the
Church was rapid. He soon became the
Papal tinancier, and Pope Gregory having
recognized him AS u born politician, Pope
Plus TX raised him to the dignity of Cardi-
nal Deacon in June, 1S47 Since that time
his influence has been felt and his ability as
Il diplomatlst has been respected in every
court in Europe. He has been credited with
controlling influence over the Pope, and
the world has looked upon him as holding
about the same relation to Plus that Bis
marck holds to Kaiser Wilhelm Hence he
has been long an object Of veneration to the
two hundred millions Of Catholics who look
70 Rome for spiritual guidance. and he has
been frequently mentioned as the probable
successor of Pope Plus IX

Men and Women Cooks Compared.

There seems to be more natural difficulty
for the woman to learn than the man. There
is sweet tooth running through her sex
which affects her taste and renders her less
trustworthy. She is less exact, at least in the
pursuit Of this vocation, and does not reason
AS the man does. 1t he fails he thinks and
tries to find out the cause of the failure,
which she is less apt to do. He gives pounds
and ounces as to quantity where she gives
approximate handtulls. The man is more
particular about the food which he consumes
himself, which makes him more careful
about what he prepares for others. Many
women are content provided they have ice
cream and sweet cake, or something equiya-
lent thereto. Count de Najac, man of some
authority concerning the table in Paris AYERS
that the interests and traditions Of the kitchen
can only be contided with safety to men, and
that if the women guests at a table were not
under the eye of the stern sex they would be-
gin dinner with the dessert. AS may be con-
ceived, this is a painful mistake for gallant
Frenchman to make, but a sense Of duty
doubtless rises above all other considerations.
Notwithstanding, even if men be superior to
women in this calling, if any widespread
movement is to come about the movement it
must come from them, for the kitchen is vir-
tually in 1 r hands.-Galary.
