MARRIED IN A SNOWBANK.
An Illinois LOchinVar United at
Last to His Exiled Sweetheart in
EanSaS

An Illinois LOchinvar United at
Last to His Exiled Sweetheart in
, Kansas.
! News came to town this morning of a
romantic marriage which took place on
Christmas eve about eight miles west of
here. The contracting parties were j.
r. Brown, a lawyer of Havana, ILL.,, and
Miss ANA Walker, young school
teacher of the same place. The young
lady'S family were opposed to the match
and sent her out here about two months
ago to get her out of the way, but it is
the old case of love laughs at IOcksmiths
over again, says an Olathe special to the
Kansas City Journal. She wrote to her
lover, telling of her hiding place. and
he wrote to her renewing undying de-
vOtiOn, but she never got the letters
until her lover came here last week
and took them to her in person to the
with her uncle, Henry Wagner,a well-tO-
do farmer of Lexington township, and
when the lover came here last Friday
he called on her there, but meeting with
a cold reception from the uncle he beat
hasty retreat for Olathe. The next
morning the young lady found chance
to send him note containing the infOr
nation that she would be at a certain
church on Christmas eve, and if he would
bring the license and a minister she
would meet him there and be married.
This was enough for the lover, who
hired team at o'clock and set off with
the probate judge to meet his affianced.
They got to the church at o'clock. The
young lady, who had been occupied in
side fixing up Christmas tree with
goods sent by Santa Claus, met them at
the door and got into the carriage. 1t
was then dark, and the intention was to
drive down the road a short distance,
have the knot tied, and the young lady
then to return as though nothing un-
usual had occurred, but they had gone
only short distance when the horses
got frightened and ran away. There
was lively time for about mile, but
the driver finally pulled up in snow
bank six feet deep. where Judge Allen
soon pronounced the now thoroughly
frightened but happy couple man and
wife, after which the party returned to
the church, where the groom left his
bride and came to Olathe. He returned
to his home last evening, but before 60
ing he left check for his bride, with
instructions to follow him as soon as
she thought advisable, which will be as
soon as she gets time to break the news
to her mother and have the family
wrath blow over.

A BITTER DIFFUSION.

AS desolate bird through darkness its lost
way is winging,
AS hand that is helplessly raised when
Deaths sickle is swinging,
SO is life! Aye, the life that lends passion
and breath to my singing.
As nightingale's song, that is full of sweet
ness unspoken,
As spirit unbarring the gates Of the skies
for token,
So is love! Aye, the love that shall fall when
his pinion is broken.
AS the tramp of the legions when trumpcts
their challenge are sending,
AS the shout of the storm god when light
nngs the black sky are rending,
So is power! Aye, the power that shall lie in
the dust at its ending.
SO short is our life; yet with space for all
things to forsake us,
A bitter delusion,a dream from which, naught
can awake lis,
Till Deaths lodging footsteps at morn or at
eve shall o'ertake US.

VNo " c 6NNiM III A II

The above is cut of the upper half
of John j. Cunningham's body. Mr..
Cunningham is one of the oldest North
western travelling men, and the boys as
well as the trade throughout this coun-
try are acquainted with him. This year
he has changed houses, and will travel
for Schetfer 4 ROsSum, one of the lead
ing leather and Saddlery houses in the
Northwest.
Mr.. Cunningham was born in New
York city: In 1868 he graduated from
the establishment of E. Addy, Chicago,
a first-class harnessmaker, thoroughly
cOnversant with all the systems of the
trade. He entered the employ of ID. M.
Chaplin, and later worked for Page
Bros. d Co., Chicago, and continued
with them until the great Chicago fire.
In the spring of '72 he came to st. Paul.
and went on to the road as the
representative of Zschetzsche d
Heyer. Later on he returned
to Chicago and went with Turner d
Ray; 1882 found him with P. r. l.. Har-
denbergh d Co., of this city, with which
firm he remained until the first of the
present year when he connected him
self with the house of Schetfer IL Ros-
sum.
During his life on the road Mr.. Cum
bingham has travelled through the
states of Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and the territory of Dakota.
He is probably acquainted with more
Northwestern territory than any other
man on the road in his line. His long
employment in handling stock has
given him thorough knowledge of
leather. He is married and has an in
tereStlng family in st. Paul to which he
is warmly attached. He has no peer as
a story teller and when he is on the
road he can reel off comic song to the
queens taste. Among his other earthly
possessions he has weak lung" that
has been tested by every business man
along his route. He is an anti-tobac-
cOnist, is opposed to card gambling and
doesn't dance. He eXcelS as a whip
and when he is out on his trip, when
the first snow fall strikes him he
trOtS out fOur-in-hand attached
to a double sleigh and y the midst of a
great langle OF sleigh bells, drives
through the town displaying his sam
pies. He is good deal of a boomer and
general rustler.
In the spring of 'S3, Cunningham
started from Pierre, OAK. for the Black
Hills, via the stage route. Ike two
coaches were overcrowded, there being
twenty-one people aboard, and when
near the Cheyenne river the messenger
and the driver became engaged in an
alteration. They descended to the
ground and scared the women and chill
drcn out of their wits by indulging in a
rough and tumble fight. Cunningham

DIVERS AND "MEN-FISH."
No One Can Live Under Water
Longer Than Two and One-Half
Minutes.

Longer Than Two and One-Half
Minutes.
Some travellers have told marvellous
stories of the natives of Eastern coun-
tries who were able to stay ten, or even
fifteen minutes under water, but there
can be no doubt that these are absurd
eXaggeratiOns. 1t is well known that
the ordinary divers for coral, sponge
and pearl-OySterS do not remain under
more than two minutes, and the ''men-
fish, who exhibit i'll the museums do
not exceed two minutes and half. The
doctors differ in their opinion as to the
time at which death comes in drowning.
Some say in three minutes, others in
five, but none set a longer time than
this, except the drowning person faints,
when respiration and animation cease,
says the Youths Companion. A French
man named LacaSsagne has been for
some time studying this subject, and
the results of his experiments and OBJ
servatiOnS are given in the Revue Scien-
tifQue. The man upon whom he eX-
perimented was a famous Hungarian
swimmer named James, who, among
other exploits, once swan from Calais
to Dover, and had remained under water
for four minutes and fourteen seconds.
Before diving, it was observed he
first expelled all the air from his lungs,
and then took long breath. After he
had been under water for minute his
heart-beatS became slow, irregular and
feeble. After two minutes and thirty
seven seconds there was rush of blood
to the head, and his eyes appeared
sunken. Still he continued to breath
amply and regularly at the rate of
twenty respiratiOns minute, while at
the same time the observer noticed that
the abdominal cavity diminished greatly
\ size.
NJ. Lacassagne believes from this. and
from the fact that James was continu-
ally swallowing his saliva, that, in draw
ing the long breath at first, he swal-
lowed quantity of air, and that the Or
binary respiratory channels being
closed, he takes into his lungs the air
contained in his stomach, and from
thence again taken, somewhat purified,
into his lungs. That Is, in other words,
he makes of his stomach reservoir for
air, fact which, if true, will account
for his ability to remain for such an eX-
traOrdinary time under water. This
process, which the diver performs in
stinctively and mechanically, M. Lacas-
sagne believes can and should be
learned by all swimmers, as giving
them a far greater endurance under the
surface than they now possess.

TOLD BY AN ARTIST,
A Cattle Piece That for Reasons
: Was Never Painted.

. Robert Hopkin tells a story which
shows that it is not always safe for even
an artist to guy even granger. A good
many years ago Mr.. Hopkin was one of
sketching party which was ''doing'
New England in the brightest time of
summer. One of the company. young
fellow with more animal spirits than
cash, had played some prank OH a
farmer living near the village where
they were staying, says the Detroit
free Press. but had quite forgotten it
when, early one morning, rustic gen.
tleman asked for him at the tavern.
a. Can you paint cattle?"waS the abrupt
question of the caller.
eyes, Sir.''
oval, Eve got lively critter that
I'm goin' to sell. raised him, an he's
blsoded, an I'd like to have HIM painted
before l let him go. You needn't be so
nation careful; just do it kind O. rough,
like, but Pm business clear through, an
iii give you $50 for the job. Will you
do it?''
The yOungSter saw visions of an eX-
tension of his trip, and. running over in
his mind the names of all the great az
fists who had painted cattle pieces, ac-
cepted, got his materials, and climbing
into the 'demOcrat' wagon which stood
at the door, was driven at leisurely Jog
up hill and down for about eight miles,
when they drove into farm yard and
stopped.
''Git right down." said the farmer,
''an' git your traps. He's over beyond
them woods" and the two walked across
four or FIVE rough fields, climbing rail
fences and jumping over bitches, until,
having traversed the woods, they came
to the fence surrounding the pasture lot.
No sooner did they show themselves
than there was loud below and an
enormous red bovine of the masculine
order left his browsing, 100 yards away,
and came toward them, paving the
ground and throwing dust high in the
air.
''There he u.s." SAID the farmer.
"Ain't he fine one? The only trouble
with him is he's so burned red that
when he goes to the creek to
drink, and sees his shadder in the
water, the color drives him mad, and l
can't manage him. Now, if you'd jest
git over the fence an paint him sky
blue, with a touch of yaller on the
horns, 1 think he'll be Quieter, SOS l
can sell him, an I'll give you the
cash."
The job was clearly put up. The
farmer was filled with virtuous indigna-
ton at the breach of contract, and
wouldn't drive his dupe back; the
neighbOrs were all sin" and wouldn't
do it for love or money, and, as result,
he carried his impedimenta five miles
under brOiling sun, before he caught a
ride with a pedler.

salutations, eight in number, which de-
fine the proper amount of respect to be
paid to different individuals. The one
which is perhaps most familiar to San
Franciscans is that when at the Ne W
Year the Chinaman clasps his hands to-
gether, and, gently bowling, wishes his
friend the compliments of the season.
Two curious greetings which these peO-
pie have among themselves are those Of
asking each other, "Haye you eaten
your rice?" and us your stomach in
good Order?''
The japanese show respect OH meet
ing by bending the knee, though i'll the
street they only make a feint at so
doing. This is the general salute, but
there are many others which are re-
CURED from interiors on encOunteriDg
those in higher positions.
A stranger coming among the MOOrS
for the first time would, perhaps. be
astOnished and a little frightened by
seeing one of them riding at full gallon
toward him, as if he were intending to
execute cavalry charge. His fears
might, perhaps, be increased when this
hOrseman, when almost close to his APP
parent victim, suddenly refined up and
discharged pistol over his head. Re
covering from his establishment, how
ever, he would find that this is the
Moorish way of welcoming a stranger.
Natives of the Gold Coast have still
another mode of salutatiOn. They lower
their robe from the left shoulder with
the right hand and gracefully bow,
though II 1t is great man they salute,
and they wish to be particularly re-
spectful, the whole of the robe is re-
moved, exposing the breast upward.
Egyptians greet one another with a
remark peculiar to their CONTRIBUTION

The military salute required in nearly
all civilized countries is nearly the same.
Perhaps i'll Germany. however, the reg
ulationS are somewhat more stringent.

but the privates do as privates in other
armies do. The salute when on guard

those of superior grade. Flags of all

Thursday, Jan. 70 has been set apart
by the carnival management as CONNER
clal travellers day, and if the boys don't
turn ont EN- maSse on that occasion and
''whoop'er up" they are not built the
way the GLOBE believes they are. Every
travelling man who can get here on that
day should by in line and give visitors

commercial Importance of the West. If

know how TO make themselves felt. it is
the commercial travellers. ana an oppor-

bone was exposed. 1t was in bad con-

Iron Mining Statistics,

Special 10 the GIObe.
MARQUETTE, Mich. Jan. 13.-Com-
plete reports from all the iron mines of
Lake Superior, covering their shipments
by rail and lake and ore supplied to
local furnaces during the year 1887,
shows total production of the year of
1866, 1852 gross tons, of which 1856, 953
tons came from the mines of the Mar
quette range, 1,19S,743 from the Me
nominee range. 1,237,7O4 tons from the
Gogebec range and 394,252 from the
Vermillion range in Minnesota. The
total shipments for the year show an
increase over 1886 of 1,090,295 tons. The
reports do not include the ore in stock
at the mines at the close of the year or
in cars or pockets of railway docks and
consequently represents only the
amount actually placed on the market.

Jenny Lind's Home Life.

The daily lite of Jenny Lind in London
was extremely simple. Every morning,
at 7:30 o'clock, there were family
prayers. At these not only her husband,
Mr.Goldschmidt, and her three children,
but the servants assisted. When break
fast was over she habitually retired to
at her writing desk, opened and an
severed her numerous letters. Her room,
which looked out on beautiful garden
was simply furnished. The most
notable piece of furniture in it was q
large screen, which had pasted over its
entire surface newspaper clippings
