Rose Clark Amber.
THE ROMANTIC STORY OF HER EARLY
LOVE.

I
The story Of the early life of the un
fortunate Rose Clark Amber, whose
recent mysterious murder has so agi
tated the people Of Bridgeport, Conn.
reads life a chapter from romance. Ii
the summer of 1864, while the rebellion
was at its height, Captain Clark, the
father Of Rose, paid a visit to his
brother Sheldon, a farmer and stock
raiser of Pocahontas county, West
Virginia, taking his daughter will
him.
Rose was then a girl in her teens, and
is described as bright, happy, win
some child, who frolicked about that
wild and beautiful country as free as
the native deer she is said to have
hunted. She was standing then on the
verge of womanhood, waiting for the
first summons of love to cross its
threshold. A mimic ball at the battle
of the Wilderness brought the lover to
complete the play. Captain James Gels
thorpe. of the Confederate army, re-
ceived bullet in the chest at that
battle, and came back to his home on
the Greenbrier to recuperate. He and
Rose met, and the soldier received
another wound much more fatal than
any inflicted by Federal bayonet. 1t
came from cupid's bow, and was
winged by glances from Rose Clark's
eye.
A short time after their acquaint-
ance began, both were members OF a
boating party on the Greenbrier.
Their canoe was overturned, and Rose
Clark made her way to shore assisted
by thearm Of the gallant officer, without
which she must have perished. This
brought matters to climax. A tale
was told beneath the spreading leather
woods, and when Rose shortly after
wards returned North, she wore on her
finger the ring that was pledge she
was to redeem by becoming the bride
of her rescuer.
The weeks sped by after their separa-
tion, and the infrequent mails that
found their way to that mountainous
country, for awhile brought with un-
failing regularity massive Of affection
to the captain, and never failed to
carry back another to Rose. But at
length there came a change mail
after mail passed, and, though each
wrote the same loving letters, no
answers came. Grown weary with
waiting, hope and love withered in
Roses heart but pride came to her
rescue, and in pique she listened to
Norman Ambler's wooing and became
his wife. Then Captain Gelsthorpe
came upon the scene, and she learned
too late, that both had been victims.
Their letters had been intercepted and
two lives ruined. The despair that
followed colored her after life. Believ'
ing Amber to have been the miscreant
who to futher his own suit, had stopped
the letters. She hated him as only al
injured woman can, and from thai
time began the life that dragged he
down. Losing her respect for the man
she needed not her own voice, and then
it issupposed, she listened to the voice
Of the tempter and began the down
ward career that ended in he
murder.

THE CORN CRoP.-A summary of
official and trustworthy reports from
all the States, furnished by the Mil
waukee Chamber of Commerce, places
the corn yield for this year at 1921,
10000 bushels, the largest crop, with
one exception, in the history of the
country. The largest yield is in Kan
sas, 1876, 900, 900 bushels, and the other
great producing States come in this
order: Illinois, 17O,OOO,OOO; Iowa,
165, 100000; Indiana and Missouri with
100000, 900 each Nebraska with co.
100000; Tennessee and Kentucky with
1000, 900 each Ohio with 70, 900, 900 !;
Texas with 65, 900, 900 bushels, and so
on down to Rhode Island, with 100000
bushels, the minimum yield. The
damage to the crop in Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota is put at 80
per cent, but the reduction appears
inconsiderable in view Of the total pro-
duction.
