Leader reporter on the South Side last
night. The person he referred to is now
Mrs Greeley, but whose name previous
to last Monday was Mrs. Mike Kessner,
of TWenty-seventh and Jane streets,
South Side. The history of her many
marriages, is told by neighbor, was as
follows: About ten months ago Mrs
Creeley's first husband, named William
Baker chainmaker, well know in the
Twenty Ward, died. The lady
remained single about six months, when
she married Mr.. Kessner, a well-knoWn
politician of Brownstown, and an en-
ploye of the American Iron Works. At
the time the marriage was consumated
Mr.. Kessner was very sickly, and Mrs.
Baker was cautioned by her friends not
to marry him, but she did SO neverthe-
less. His health never improved any,
but continued to grow worse up to the
time of his death on the 10th instant.
The day after he was buried she con-
Guided to start clearinghouse, as she
had no other means of supporting her
self and two children. the offsprings of
her first husband. Among the persons
who applied for board was young man
named Greeley, who works in a South
Side glass house. His application was
accepted, and he started to board there
on Wednesday. On Thursday he propos-
ed to his clearinghouse mistress. His
proposal was looked upon with favor.
The time was set for last Monday even
ing. The programme was carried out,
and Mr.. Greeley and Mrs. Kessner were
united in bonds of Wedlock. On the
evening in question Young America
gathered in the neighborhood and gave
the newly married compile lively sere-
made. The newly-made bride is now in
her thirty-second year, the groom is
twenty-five years of age. The lady is a
native of Germany, while Mr.. Greeley is
a well-to-do young man and highly re-
spected by all who know him, who join
in wishing himself and bride all manner
of happiness.

WHATEVER Is, Is RIGHT.
BY EVELYN DUDLEY.


THE following original poem was recently reaC
in the LeavenWorth High School. The subJec
was given the entire CLASSICAL
'rWhateyer is, is right Our hearts are sad
And weary with the burden Of our life.
1t seems as if no Joy could make us glad,
h. And it is hard to say amid the strife
Whatever is, is right
IWhateyer is, is right" We toll along F.E
With many sorrow, many an anxious fear,
And all the evil seems to grow so strong.
Yet the bright day of hope is drawing near,
Whatever is, is right.
'rWhatever is. is right" With tears and signs,
We pass the night before that promised day,
Which shall bring gladness to our weening eyes
And drive our doubts, our cares and fears away
whatever is, is right"
'eWhateveris, is right" The way to heaven,
The place toward which our weary footsteps
tend,
Is steep and rough, and though it is not given
That we should look ahead and see the end,
whatever is, is right
srYhatever is is right" We fUen fall,
But let us struggle onward for the prize.
What though we cannot draw aside the veil
That hides the future from our longing eyes
"Whatever is, is right."a
"Whatever is, is right" And when at last
Our work is done, our weary spirits freed,
And we are looking backward o er the past,
We shall see, and feel and know indeed,
"WhateVer is, is right"

Sam Ward as a Nurse.

The following story was current at the
time of one of Sam Wards operations in
connection with the Pacific Mail lobby,
in which he was very active. Speaker
Kerr, who was then quite i'll, was very
much opposed to the bill. The story was,
that when the Pacific Mail subsidy was
on it's final passage, the lobby, which
had been sorely troubled by the attacks
of Mr.. Kerr, inquired eagerly for their
enemy, as he did not appear on the floor.
Gentlemen" responded Sam Ward
more commonly known as Uncle Samuel,
king of the lobby-"Mr Kerr is sick
abed, and am his nurse" Kerr was
already too i'll to be out of his bed, and
some time after, at little dinner-party
where the eminent Congressman was,
the name of Ward was mentioned. "That
is singular man" said Kerr. ST have
known him for some time as one of
those id lobbyists. and I had treated
him rather rough on two occasions. Do
you know, last summer, when / was so
very Ill, he not only sent me beautiful
flowers and costly wines, but came and
nursed me as if had been his child or
brother? He must be very kind
hearted" Gle is as kind-hearted an
old fellow as the Lord permits to i've"
responded one cOnversant with the facts,
"but his solicitude exhibited in your be-
half, Kerr, did not come altogether of
kind heart" and he then proceeded,
amid roars of laughter, to tell why Sam
Ward nursed NJ. @. Kerr. Kerr did not
join In the laughter. He had little or no
sense Of humor In his composition, and
to the day of his death he could not see
where the laugh came in on that con-
duct Of Sam Ward.

Some months had passed since / saw
my Agnes for the first time at dinner

Miss George Peyton in society, and had
several times been invited to her recep-

one day an invitation to dine with
her 'informally," to meet a young
lady from Aiken, S. @. Of course pre-
scented myself at this informal dinner In
full evening dress, where met some
other gentlemen in similar attire-Clark-
son was one of them-and few young
ladies, and was introduced to my Agnes.
If I could only make you see her as she
appeared to me that night-so fresh and
blooming; the blue of her clear, peaceful
eyes; the delicious curve OF the delicate
lips! But enough that then and there l

Indeed, for some weeks had seen
that he was working the management
into my hands, so I felt justified in writ

letter received that morning she told me
she was coming again, to make a long

THE MYSTERY.

He was beside me week ago,
Full of the hope that strong souls know
Looking into the worlds hard face,
Seeking his share of its chary grace;
Striving loving and glad for all
The ioys that unto his brothers fall
Full of plying sadness, as
- s4s He saw the sorrow that lie SURROUNDS;
He was tender and true, he Was-he was!
Dear God, how strange that sounds.
Only week, little week,
Since he clasped my hand and kissed my cheek
Since he loved me well, and called me TAR,
From the shining wealth of golden hair;
From the lily throat and the dewy lips, zar -
To the sea-shen tint of my fnger-ips;
His heart was my own. Ala5 because
He had passed away from my clasp ana KISS
Must. always say of his love, 1t was
And never again, IL IS
When he sped away in his ghostly bark,
Did ne speed to the light, or speed to the dark?
ON the mystic sea did shingle SAIL
Speak him fair with a friends All Hail?
And who on the fair worlds hlther rim
Was the first to reach a hand to him?
And there, wherever there may he,
Strangely the mystery thrills ana aWes;
Has he forgotten, who so loved me?
Does he, TOO, say, 1t was?
In the flesh he questioned the why and how;
Is all made clear to his asking now?
Does that which here, mid stress and strife,
He loved quite well and called sweet Life,
Now to his clear vision seem
Like robe outWOrn, like an empty dreamY
Does he grieVe for the years of vanished breath
Does he deem them vainly and idly spent
Does he call life which we call death,
Thus do I ask increasingly,
But never a word comes back to me
In silence solemn, and vast and deep,
Does Death his terrible secret keep
But not forever for some fair day
1 shall wrest that secret from death away.
To life more perfect, and true and high
I, too, shall pass as he has passed;
AS out of it all, like star from the sky,
shall know it all at last.

BY GEORGE W. cRoFrs.

Yes, sixty-hVe-how strange it seemsl
1 am like one who, waking dreams,
Whtlesthro' his brain there swiftly streams
With rythmic flow
The scenes Of those departed years,
The joys, the hopes, the b9rning tears,
The blest assurances and fears,
The bliss and woe.
Within my hands are faded flowers
gathered fresh in childhoOds hours,
While brightly beamed the heavenly powers
In Lies fair morn.
And yet, to me, they are as sweet
AS when first did them greet,
Hid in their soft, sylvan retreat
Mid fragrant thorn.
I do not feel that am old,
Fen tho the Winters breath is colo
And snow has Whitened all the world
That once was green,
For still my heart is young and gay,
And sings as jubilant a lay
AS ever greeted opening day
Or sweet sixteen!
But sixty-fVe-Ah can it be
Thus much of life is past with me,
Far more than shall hencefOrth see
With dimming eyes2
Yes, it is true-and be it so,
For better things are mine, know,
