JesSe's Widow.

New York Times.
A new and interesting occupation
has been found for the wives of de-
parted criminals. Mrs. Jesse James,
the relIct of the outlaw who was 30
popular recently in the west, is now on
exhibition in one of the glittering halls
of wonder that adorn the brilliant
thOrough.are of the east side. Just
wherein Mrs. James peculiar guaIifi
cations as curiosity exist is not spec
fled in TIE announcements. Perhaps
the admiring crowds who study the
contour of her form, the cast of her
features and the cut of her garments,
will seek to find in her the gentle re-
fulgence of reflected greatness, which
shining from its original source, would
have blinded their poor, human eyes.
Or, perchance. sne may possess ft !
them the subtle charm that dwells in
imported lilies and revolutionary apos.
ties with long hair-a charm that
makes many people wonder Why and
whence they are. But the wonder
that will grow in the minds of all, save
the saucer-eyed boy and the dyspep
tical girl who revel In bliss and gore
of ten-cent literature, will be how on
earth sane woman-granting that
she is sane-could select so solemn LOT
in life as that OF being "partner of the
tolls. the feelings, and the fame" OF
the late Mr.. J. James.

Fattenlng Girls for Marriage.

Throughout the empire of Morocco
there are villages where the eldest
members OF the adult population fol-
low professionally the pursuit of fat
tening young girls for the matrimon-
ial market of Barbary. The Moors,
like the Turks. give a decided prefer
ence to "moon faced" wives over lean
ones, and are more solicitous as to the
number of pounds which their wives
weigh than about the stock of accom-
plishments which they possess. The
fattening process begins when the girl
is about twelve years old. Stiff maize
porridge, kneaded up with grease. is
daily fed to her in the form of holuses.
If she declines to take them they are
crammed down her throat.

Young Widows.


The girls have an interesting time
of it in India. Very often girls are
married at the age of thirteen years,
and should the boy to whom they are
welded die the next day the infant is
declared a perpetual widow, and may
not marry again though she live to be
sixty years of age. They do not think
very much of women over there any
way.

The Lover and the Postofflce.

A very pretty little romance was
outlined before Judge Hammond on
his recent trio to jackson. where he

years is really a very daring fellow,
who fancies himself like Joey b Sly.

high-spirited young fellow, named j.
L. Williams, has very pretty sweet
heart living near jackson, to whom
he wished to send a handsome bou-

hands of satanic postmaster. Natu-

said he did not mind paying postage

The attention of an eminent aurist

say that friend had struck him upon

An infatuated Drummer.
Isl. Louis Globe-Democrat. |


For many months past Miss Mollie
Garfield has been annoyed by the i'm
pertinent attentions Of young travel
ing salesman connected with st. Louis
house. He has constantly addressed to
her letters expressive of his profound
admiration and esteem for her, and has
even gone SO far as to propose marriage.
These communications have Of course
been treated with the contempt they
merited. Latterly, however, his atten-
tions have become an actual torment to
the family Of Mrs. Garfield, aud meas.
ures were taken to put stop to then.
During the past few days he has frt-
quently made his appearance on Pros
pect street in the vicinity OF Mrs.
Garfield's home. and has repeated
ly sought interviews with men,
bers Of the household, but has been as
frequently turned away frem the door.
Mrs. Garfield consulted with DR. Boyn-
ton, her brother in-law, who notified the
police and appointed an interview with
the young man, to occur at two o'clock
to-day. The ardent youth was punctual,
and so was Detective Iulligan. The
young lover was taken to the Central
Police Station, where he gave the name
Of George Washington, and asserted that
he was lineal descendant Of the father
Of his country, "and II don't marry
Mollie Garfield he exclaimed. "1'll
hang myself" He was hurried off to o
cell, making little resistance, but con-
stanuy protesting the sincerity Of his
affection. His insanity is of q mild
form, and has apparently been caused
by dissipation.
