The Peel Kicker.


He is philanthropist in a small way,
and he imsgines he is the only man in the

are about :, 500 other men in the city who
are on the same la. and each thinks
himself the only one engaged in philan-

1t really is q habit, and it develops into
q form Of insanity. Why, | have seen

A WANDERERS RETURN.
ChaDcy Hopkins Turns Up in Urbsna Afte
Twenty-ons Years Absence.

1"eHty -onS ear Ab.Snce.
Many of our readers will remember
CLANCY Hopkins, who left trhana more
than twenty-One years ago. and who has
been regarded a. dead these many
years. But strange freaks sometimes
enter human beings miTd. aS will be
demonstrated in the history OF this man.
During the war Hopkins enlisted in the
three years service in the defense of his
country. and served his time. At the
close Of the war he wandered out west,
and never tie scratch of pen was II
ceivei from him by his wife TO let her
know whether he was living or not. His
failure to write her or 10 come home al
the close OF the war naturally led her t.
believe that he was dead. For all these
years his family and ali who knew him sup
posed that he had been killed during the
war When he left he had two children.
both uf whom Were supported and raised by
the mother without aN assistance from the
father They arr now both grown. and the
daughter married During Hopkins long
absence his wife lived A. widow with her
two children on Market street until six
years ago. when She married r. J. Marlin.
veterinary surgeon, and shortly after they
Went to Kentucky. where they are now liv-
ing happily Together.
Several weeks ag" Mrs. Marlin was called
to rhana by the serious illness of heI daugh
ter. MrS Henry Aker>. 4 few DAYS ago
while sitting with her daughter, she wa,
thunder struck by the entrance of the man
she had supposed dead the>l. mary years.
The surprise of the woman at seeing him
there before her cannot well be imagined.
but il must certainly have occurred 10 her
that a Rip Van WinkIe was before her
The greeting WAS not of the most cordial
kind on her part. and she summed him and
repudiated him entirely. He wanted Ia
be taken back, but Mrs. Marlin informed
him that she had regarded him as dead
these many wears, and that a. he had left
her in the manner he did. and she had been
forced Ia raise and support the children her
self. she did not feel it her duty To forgive
nm: and farther, that she was again mar
ried Ia man that had been husband to
her, and for her part she would stick to
him. As far as the children are concerned
he could come and see them occasionally,
but that relation between them as man and
wife was at an end.
Hopkins is fOrty-nine years of age. and
claims at the close of the war he went west
and began business and had succeeded well
80 far as this world is concerned and pro-
posed To do the handsome thing BY his chill
dTen.
Thus ends very strange and romantic
proceeding by the man, but which failed TO
turn out altogether a. he expected. Mrs.
Marlin is certainly juStifabe in repudiatng
him after the treatment she had received at
his hand. .-Urbana Citizen.
