| DIVORCED AND RE-MARRIED.-Tues
day afternoon young couple got on
the excursion train here on their way
West, who had just been married u
second time under peculiar circumstan-
ces Four years ago V. L. Sanders, a
young mechanic of good character, l!v-
ing at Mount Crawford, who had been
married hardly year to young lady
born 10 Waynesboro, had difficulty
with a neighbor named Dovel and kill
ed him. There was no doubt of the
blow having been given by Sanders,
! though there we're no witnesses present
to testify as to how it was given. The
prosecution cortended that it was done
with q weapon, while the defence claim
cd that it was given in sudden passion
with the hand. The man had died of
conclusion Of the brain. The prisoners
young wife staid by him during the
trial and showed the greatest devotion
to him. The end was sentence 10
four years in the State prison. After
the husband had been in prison a short
time the wife, under the advice of her
friends, availed herself OF the provisions
of the law which divorces the wife Of
convict and obtained a divorce. In
prison, young Sanders maintained tho
good character for steadiness aud in.
dus,ry that he had before he went there,
aud under prison regulations his term
was shortened forty-two days tor every
year. a few days ago the time expired
and Sanders returned home, free man.
His former wife was living with her
mother, and the neighbors say from the
| day it was known that he was in tho
village change was visible in her
manner. and long g.absent cheeriu!ness
returned. For some days Sanders made
no attemp. to See her, but last week
they met and the old love proved the
winner. On Saturday they went 10
Harrisonburg aud were re married. Tho
act gave great offence to the friends OF
both, and when the couple got back
from Harrisonburg to Mt. Crawford tho
mother OF the girl refused to let her
enter the house A brother of the
groom, who felt indignant Mt the former
conduct OF the wife in procuring di-
vorce, also refused to receive them.
They repaired to the house of kind
lady in the neighborhood, where they
were received. The young man deter
mined to emigrate TO the West, there TO
commence life under different circum
stances and on Tuesday, as We have
stated, they came TO Staunton and took
the train for their new home. The ro-
mantle story. which we get from u
neighbor and friend Of the groom, was
the staple for conversation in the village
which they have left.-Siaunton Tndi.

A Rich MAN ON RIcHEs.-The fol
lowing story is told of Jacob Ridgeway,
a wealthy citizen of Philadelphia, who
died many years ago, leaving fortune
of FIVE or six million dollars.
'Mr. Ridgeway, said young lnan
with whom the millionaire was convers-
ing, you are to be more envied than
any gentleman | know
why so?' responded Mr.. Ridgeway;
4 am not aware of any cause for which
l should be particularly envied.
'Why, sir!' exclaimed the young man
in astonishment. Just think of the
thousands that your income brings you
every month
well, what Of thati replied Mr.. R.
'All get out of it is my victuals and
clothes, and / cant eat more than one
mans allowance or wear more than one
suit Of clothes at the same time. Pray

in one house at time; and as for money

or wear it; can only use it to buy other
houses for others TO live in. They arc

But you can buy costly furniture and
pictures, aud fine carriages and horses;
in fact anything You may desire.
'And after l have bought Them, re-
sponded Mr. Ridgeway, what thenf l

lures. / can ride no easier in fine
carriage than you can in an omnibus for
five cents, with the trouble of attending
to drivers, footmen and hostlers; and as
to anything desire, | tell you, young
man, the less we desire in this world

A BRAVE ACT.-In the summer OF
1912, when Bismarck was twenty eight
years of age, and was a cavalry officer,
he was standing one afternoon with
some of bis companions or bridge,
when his groom led his horse into the
water TO drink. Suddenly the horse lost
footing, fell, and the groom disappeared
Bismarck Immediately threw away his
sword, tore off his uniform, and sprang
into the river to save his servant. He
caught him, but the frightened man
clung to him with such grip that he
had to 90 to the bottom before be could
get loose. Eventually he saved the
groom. For this gallant deed Bismarck
received the well known Prusssan Ret
tungsmedaille that one still sees between
so stars ard orders on his breast. He is
very proud of this mark of honor, and
once when distinguished man asked,
with some sarcasm, the meaning of the
simple decoration, which, at the time,
was the only one he bad, he answered
quickly, 81 am in the habit of saving
peoples lives some times.

a STRANGE SCENE.-A well dressed
man walked into one of the saloons the
other day leading little boy by the
hand, called for drink of whiskey.
The little fellow burst into tears and
begged his father not to drink, and the
saloon keeper, to his credit be it said,
refused him, whereupon the man jump
ed behind the bar and seized a bottle
of the article in question. The bar
keeper attempted 10 take the bottle from
him, and scutile ensued, during which
the liquor was spilled, and the stranger
elected. A man of family who was
present was SO struck by the conduct OF
the boy, that he LETT the saloon and
made an oath that he would never drink
another drop. What q scene for ar
artists pencil! A wonderful battle, il
which a little boy conquers the bar
keeper and the man of family present
but cannot prevail over his own beloved
but besotted father!
