A Curious Marriage Vow.

In a trial in Germany recently a
curious document was produced,
which was called forth by the mar
rage of Count de .Sulz, a Roman
Catholic, to Agatha, Countess of
Hanau, a Protestant, in the year
1865. At the wedding the bride
groom solemnly swore to respect his
future wife's religious views, and
signed, sealed and delivered deed
to that effect. 1t was couched in
the following terms: 81, Rudolph,
Count of Sulz, hereby promise on
nv honor as a nobleman-or the
devil take me, that 1 will allow my
future wife to remain in her reli-
zion, nor will 1 offer her any induce
ment in the slightest to abandon it.
I have at home two bibles, if that is
not enough for her, / will get her
two more. Moreover,it is her body,
not her soul, take. / shall remain
in my religion, in which / have been
drought up since my youth. 1 know

A Wild Cats Ride on a Deer.

One night recently hunter re-
siding near Custer was aroused by
an unusual noise near his cabin.
Taking his gun he went out to see
what the trouble was, and noticed
deer at full speed with a wild cat
perched on its back, and making
frantic efforts to cut the deer's
throat with it's sharp teeth. The
hunter raised his gun and fired. The
wild cat instantly jumped from off
the deer's back and made for Its as
sailant. The man reloaded his rifle,
and when the animal was within
twelve or fifteen feet of him he again
fired and killed the brute. Just as
he fired the last shot the, deer fell
dead bat a few PAGES from where
the hunter first saw it, Minneapo-
lis Tribune.

Arnold the Traitor.

Benedict Arnold, after chequered
life, spent mostly in unfortunate
commercial speculations, in which
he sunk the greater part of the
British gold paid him as part of
the price of his treachery, died at
his residence in London on June
IA, 1901. His commission as ma
general in the British army, for
which he stipulated when he went
ever to the British, after the Reyo-
lutionary war was ended, seemed to
serve mainly as anaggravation of his
disgrace. The officers of the Brit
ish army, consisting mostly Of sons
of the nobility, manifested unyield-
ing repugnance to being placed un-
der the command of a plebian colo
mist, and he traitor to his former
compatriots in arms, holding his
commission as a fee for his treach-
cry. In vain did Arnold beg for
service. In the army, in parliamen
and in society his name was coup
led with terms of insult so CALLING
to his proud spirit that he was at
last dashed into fighting duel. IN
fortunately for him this resulted in
but slight satisfaction for his
wounded honor, while it left him to
endure his burden of infamy for
years longer. Lord CORVALLIS and
a few others, who had been directly
parties IN his treachery, afterward
seemed to have some pity for the
wreck they had made and secured
a command for him. His last re-
buff of this sort, the refusal of the
Duke of York to accept his prof
fered services in 1889, when in til e
war with France the English gov
eminent was calling into the field all
it's available officers and recruits,
quite crushed him. Returning from
an unsuccessful personal applica-
ton at the war office, he said to his
wife, with a groan Of agony: ''They
will not give me a chance to seek a
soldiers DEATH" F'From this time
on to his death he was a changed
man" says his latest biographer,
the Hon. 1. N. Arnold, of Chicago.
He fingered after this blow for
about two years, subject to frequent
attacks of melancholy and deep de-
lection. Toward the last sleep for
sock him. Then his mind began to
wander. On one occasion, in imag-
nation, he seemed to be fighting
his battles over He called for his
old uniform and desired to put it on
saying: "Bring me, I beg you, the
epaulettes and, sword knots which
Washington gave me. Let me die
in my old American uniform, the
uniform in which fought my bat
ties. God forgives me for ever
putting on any other.'' ''Thus, "
says the historian, Gin bitter dis
tress, in self-reproach, In poverty
died Benedict Arnold"

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution
prints an interesting story of four
brothers, named Green, which is
full of encouragement for boys else
where, for what the Green boys have
done can be done by other boys.
These four boys started few years
ago selling newspapers on the streets
of Atlanta. They made ten cents
apiece the first morning they went
to work, and for two winters there
after they went barefooted through
the snow and sleet in the freezing
dawn on their morning rounds.
From the very first they saved a
certain per centage of their earn
ings, which they very wisely invest
ed in Atlanta real estate. The old
est of them is now eighteen years OF
age, and the youngest twelve. They
have supported an invalid father
and their mother all the time, and
now have property worth considera-
bly, over $4,000, houses from which
the rent is $40 a month, and 5000
stock in building and loan associa-
ton. They have educated them
selves the meanwhile, remaining
from school this year in order that
they might work the harder and
build a home for their parents, that
is to have a front parlor and bay
window in it. These little fellows
have been carriers, newsboys, GRAND
boys and apprentices about the Con
stitution office, and one of them is
now assistant mailing clerk. Their
next saving from their sales and
salaries, exclusive of their rents, has
been $40 a week for this year. Next
year they can do better, and by the
time the eldest of the brothers is OF
age they ought to have comforta-
BILE little fortune.

Stealing a Sermon.

The celebrated William Jay, au
thor of the well known Morning and
Evening Exercises" was an extra
ordinary preacher even at the age
of eighteen. While he was o stg-
dent at Marlborough, England,
chapel which had recently been
built was to be dedicated, and Mr..
Jay, the student, and one of the
professors in the seminary were
chosen for that purpose.
On arrival at the town in which
the chapel had been built, the pro-
fessor, on the afternoon of Saturday,
called upon Mr.. Jay. He informed
him that the arrangement was for
the professor to preach in the morn
ing and Mr.. Jay in the afternoon.
"And now" said the professor,
"what text have you chosen?'
The young man give the text.
"And your divisions, what are
they?"
The student named the heads of
his discourse.
"Capital" said the professor,
''and your illustrations?'
These were given, and they pleas
ed the professor exceedingly.
'Now," said he, "Mr. Jay, if your
application is as good as all the rest,
your sermon will be brilliant sue
cess"
The improvement of the ser
mon was given, and the professor
expressed himself delighted with
the whole treatment of the subject.
The next morning arriving early at
the chapel, Mr. Jay saw his friend
the professor ascending the pulpit
stairs in quite a pleasant frame of
mind. But it so happened that the
professor was man of corpulent
figure, and the pulpit, shaped like a
barrel, with a section of the circle
for door, proved to be too small
for the preachers admission. Try
as he might, face foremost and side
wise, it was impossible for the fat
professor to get through the door.
An obliging deacon, seeing the diff
ficulty, obtained a small step lad
der, placed it ON the landing, and
by this means the professor scaled
the wall of the pulpit and got in
side; but the congregation could
hardly be said to be in a devotional
mood durin g the operation.
The professor, however, began the
service, and, to the great astonish-
ment of Mr.. Jay, not only read the
text he had selected and expounded
to the professor the day before, but
delivered with wonderful accuracy
Mr.. jays sermon-divisions, illus
trations, application and all. Al
the close of the service the friendly
deacon assisted the fat professor tc
get out of the pulpit in the same
way he had helped him into it.
| In the afternoon Mr.. Jay rose tc
announce his text, the professor be
ing now in the pew, whilst thu
young preacher occupied the pilpit
With that peculiar emphasis which
no man could initiate, Mr.. Jay reat
the words of John X, 1: "He tina
entereth not by the door into tn
sheep fold, but climbeth up som
other way, the same is thief and
, robber. "-Christia Advocate.

The New York Herald says that
certain very unhappy Pennsylvania
manufacturers are bewailing the
idleness of their looms consequent
on the erection of numerous cotton
mills in the south. So far from
considering this as an unfortunate
circumstance In the manufacturing
interests of the north, it should be
hailed as one of the most encourage
ing signs Of the times. With a
radical change in the labor system
Of the southit was impossible that
she should remain simply pro-
Queer, and the best evidence of her
full determination TO regain under
new conditions her former import
ance in themarkets of the world is
her effort to handle her vast crops
in the factory as well IS the field.
Some temporary inconvenience may
be felt in certain milling localities
in the north, but the country at
large cannot fail to be benefited
eventually by this new business in
'terest in the southern states.

Novel Procedure in North Carolina

Intelligence has been received in
Winston, N. c., that the people of
Stokes county, in that state, are
very much excited over the dis
covery of the actual sale by one
man of his wife to another. Alfred
Jenkins, farmer of that section, a
few days ago, sold his wife to Noah
Glidewell, a neighboring farmer, for
$500. He then SOLD his farm and
moved away, leaving Glidewell in
quiet possession of the newly pur-
chased wife. The transfer of the
wife from one man to the other was
done just as though they had sim
ply snapped horses. The original
owner and Glidewell were neigh
bors. Jenkins, In a conversation,
said he wanted to move away and
was not able to take his wife,
Glidewell said he was tired of living
alone, and was willing to buy her if
Jenkins would be willing to sell her.
The latter named $500, and, after
further conversation, the transfer
agreed on. Mrs. Jenkins was con-
suited, and cheerfully agreed to the
sale. She at once took up her
effects and went to Glidewell's house,
where she is now living, and ex-
presses herself as perfectly happy
and contented with her new hus-
band and home.

Remedy fer Cold Feat.

The following remedy for cold
feet is recommended for sedentary
sufferers, as well as street-corner
policemen and half frozen car-driv-
ers, who haven't the convenience
and comfort of fire: Cali that is
required is to stand erect and very
gradually to lift ones self upon the
tips of the toes, so as to put all the
tendons of the foot to a full strain.
You are not to hop or to jump up
and down, but simply to rise-the
slower the better-upon the
tiptoe, and to remain standing on
the points of the toes as long as
possible, then gradually coming to
the natural position. Repeat this
several times, and, by the amount
of word the tips of the toes are made
to do, sustaining the body's weight,
a sufficient and lively circulation is
set up" A heavy pair of wooden
stockings drawn over thin cotton
enes, is also a recommendation for
keeping the feet warm and at the
same time preventing them from
becoming tender and sore.
