ATShenbridge Hall, the residence of
Mr.. Lockett, in England, the hall letter
box is placed in gate at the roadside
and Mr.. Lockett, expecting check from
Liverpool, went to the box. He discov-
cred that the envelope had been tamper-
ed with and the check distracted. Com
ing to the conclusion that he had been
robbed, as the letter itself remained
while the check had been taken, Mr..
Lockett at once rode to Nantwich and
gave information at the postofice and at
the police station. On returning later
he examined the letter-box more closely,
and then found several tomtits in it, and
further investigation led to his finding
the missing check lying twenty-six yards
away on the turnpike road, whittier it
had evidently been carried by tomtit.

A Vision.

Recently a young lady in Denver
dreamed that she saw friend of hers
play the important part of bride in
wedding. The phantom brides dress
was plainly portrayed on the mental re-
tina of the dreamer as plainly as if she
had seen it with her waking eyes. The
groom's appearance was equally as
distinct Yesterday afternoon the
dreamer met the brides brother and
learned for the first time that her dream
had pictured fact. His sister had been
privately married on the previous even
ing to a miner from chihuahua, Mexico,
and she wore the dress described. The
visionary had no previous reason TO sup
pose that the wedding would ever take
place.

IN Germany society is divided into
castles. If man of one caste marries a
woman of an inferior one, the marriage,
which is perfectly valid, is termed NOR
ganatic. This means that his wife and
the wife's children do not rise to the
caste of the man. So, again, if the wife
is of a superior caste to the husband, the
marriage is morganatic. For instance,
the marriage of the Duke of Hamilton
with Princess of Baden was morga-
matte, and the marriage of Princess Lou
Use with Lord Lorne would, had either
party been German, have been a morga-
matte one. Both Prince Teck and Prince
Louis of Battenburg are the issue of NOR
ganatic marriages.

Ella Wheeler wilcox.

w. A. Croffut in Kansas City Journal.
On Tuesday I met Ella Wheeler, the
Wisconsin poet, in Mrs. Frank Leslie's
Office. She had just married, as every
body knows, Mr.. Wilcox, an intelligent
and wealthy manufacturer of Meriden,
Conn, and they were lingering here on
their bridal trip before regularly estab-
fishing their honeymoon in the wooden
nutmeg State. Mrs. Wilcox had a spec
ial interest for me, because she has sold
more dollars worth of the muses. produc-
tions than any other American poet, not
excepting Whittier, LOngfelloW, II. H.,
and Louise Chandler Moulton.
She is between tWenty-six and twenty
eight, not handsome, but with a bright,
piquant face, weighs one hundred and
twenty perhaps, at her best, is a
vivaciOus talker, and wears her dress
with jaunty grace. Her costume, by the
way, was a slate colored nuns yelling
dress and hat to match, with a mantle
made of cancels hair shawl. I ask
ed her to tell me how many poems she
had written, adding at random that I
had read thousand.
81 don't know how many" she said.
"When I counted them last year there
were 1900. have the disease called fa-
tai facility'-can produce almost inn
promptu that easy writing which By
ron said was awful hard reading. By
ron didn't say awful though"
"She sometimes sends in a dozen
poems at time here" said Mrs. Leslie /;
''and, by the way, this establishment
paid her the first money she ever earned
for verse"
''Six dollars" chimed in the author /;
81 remember it very well, and how near
1 came to not getting it."
ut was so exceedingly strong and
good" explained Mrs. Leslie, and yet
was written in such an uniformed hand
that we supposed some school girl was
trying to impose on us, and we wrote to
Miss Wheeler and asked her if she was
sure she wrote it herself"
81 first wrote" continued Mrs. VIII
cox, "when was eight years old, a novel,
with an original verse at the head of
each chapter. And, if you are going to
say anything about me, say have new
er written poem on Spring. In fact,
the only nature I care for very much is
human nature. My husband is the hand
soonest man in Connecticut, and the best
informed man have ever known, and
love him better every day-don't say
that, though. I have published four
books, and my publishers tell me that
my Poems of Passion has been the best
selling book of poems in America for the
last ten years. am sure I shall like
Meriden, from all the pleasant things
have heard about its people"
Mrs. Wilcox has already gone on to IL
Illuminate her husbands home.
