Love Charms a Senator.


One of the remarkable things brought
to light in the Sharon VS.. Sharon divorce
trial, now going on, is that the plalntlft,
Miss Althea Hill, or Mrs. Sharon, tried
all sorts of tricks to win the senator's
love- One of her journeys was to a wise
woman, who viii doubtless cause a good
deal of fun when she comes to tell her
tale to Judge Sullivan. AS the story
goes, Althea sought this female, whose
sign hangs out in quiet though respect
able thoroughfare, and asked for some
charm to make Sharon love her or mar
ry her, which, is still matter of dispute.
The obese sibyl, whose portly form has
encountered a chair in the court room
ever since the case commenced, gave Al
thea a charm which she averred could
not fail, and with the punic faith for
which such people are noted, told Shal-
on's agents all about it afterward At
the hour of midnight, just as the clocks
We're striking on that hour of the month
when the moon had reached it's fullest
:
soft white arm three drops of blood, care
fully drying and preserving the azure
| tinted fluid from any foreign substance.
! Althea was to find means at some future
the object of her affections was about to
drink. If she did this without detection
and the senator drained the charmed
chalice the desire of Althea's heart must
had waned and waxed again.
Althea tried the charm and in due
course reported back with words of anger
and reproach that it had failed, and then,
like Panurge. she journeyed on to find
another and more satisfactory oracle.
This oracle turns out to be the plump and
pleasing damsel who always occupies
seat directly behind Senator Sharon. Her
shapely palm was duly crossed with gold.
She listened to Althea's desires and then
filed her young disciples heart with JOY
by evolving from the inner depths of her
necromantic art an unfailing plan to
bring the aged Croesus to the feet of his
young adorer.
By stealthy means Althea was to secure
one single hair from the scanty locks
which straggle over the senatorial brow
like railroad routes across a new country.
For thrice three days that single hal
must repose in Althea's bosom, and then
to make the charm complete, it must be
carefully cut into nine equal parts, which
were to be placed in an omelette, which
Althea and her adored one were to eat il
company. Faithfully Althea followed
the directions given her: but, alas, the
charm worked not to her satisfaction anG
once more she started out like Panurge
to find truer oracle. How she buried
socks and collars and tried other divina
tions with the senatorial linen has alrea
dy been told, but there still remains tC
tell of many other strange acts and love
philtres.
