An Unfortunate Girl
Who MARRIED A RUSSIAN CoUNT AND WAS
COUNTED OUT OF HER PROPERTY.

The story of st Louis girl who married
a Russian, Count Smrnof, so-called at
least, who got into disgrace and ruined her
happiness, is an interesting one. She was a
Miss Blow. Her tather was Henry T. Blow,
a man of wealth and prominence at st. Louis
tw twenty-five years ago. He was in Congress
during the war and was later on appointed
United States minister to Brazil. He died
soon after the close of the war, and his five
children were left nearly hundred thousand
dollars each. While travelling abroad his
eldest daughter, very handsome Young lady,
met Smrnotf. He was dashing fellow with
Count before his name, a designation that
carries very little weight IN Europe, where
there are as many counts as there are counties
in the United States, most of them as poverty
stricken as tramps and willing enough to con-
fer the empty honor of title for something
wherewith to be clothed and fed They
were married. and she lived with him long
enough for him to get all of her patrimony
and waste it at the gambling table and in
riotons living. He finally turned up in pris-
on, and his wife, now brnken-hearted and ru-
ined returned to her old home in st. Louis.
| saw her there about three years ago. She
was still a young woman, but was completely
crushed by her misfortunes. great change
had taken place since she had gone to Eu-
rope as the beautiful bride of Smirnotf. Her
father had died. two brothers had inherited
comfortable fortunes, which they had spent
one had died and the other was dependent on
a maiden sister for support. while her own
fortune and happiness had flown away fnrev-
err A good many stories like this could be
told of American girls who have married for
eigners-N T. World

health depends largely on the condition of
the liver. This organ is easily affected
because of its sluggish circulation. When
it becomes disordered, stagnant blood
sccumulates in its venous system, causing
it to discharge inert or bad bile. Many
forms of disease result from its imperfect
action, which deranges all the digestive
and assimilative organs. and, through
these, impairs almost every function Of
