FROM PoCHUCH.
From the New York Herald.
Pochuch Mountains, a range between New Jer.
sey and Pennsylvania, is Inhabited chiefly by

live much like the abOrig1nes. Mrs. Charlie Rine-

the belle OF the place. Sine is pretty brunette
and lover OF dress, and popular with the inhabi-
tants OF that Isolated spot. Consequently yester
DAY, when her husband Came TO the neighbors
WIN word that she had eloped, the whole cOmmu-
nlty turned out TO make chase. Rinehart SAID he
had noticed py-looking" fellow hanging
around his place III the morning. but Thought
nothing OF 1t. When he came back at noon his
Wiie ana TWO children were gone, as well as some
bedding, cooking utensils and provisions. large
crowd soon took up The trail, which led thrOug On
the WOODS. About night they came up with the
party as they were preparing TO camp out for the
night. The '.sappy" young man took TO his heels
and escaped, but carried with him a load OF shot
hired by the husband. Mrs. Rinehart explained
That he was an Old adm, rer OF hers, and that she
wanted TO 1--we In q town where she cOul dress
better. She finally returned with her husband
after he promised TO buy her o new dress with o

SIS Marriage a Failure?"

Believe me, my son, that nine
tenths of the girls who play the
piano and sing so charmingly,
whom you in your limited knowl-
edge set down as mere butterflies
of fashion, are better fitted for
wives than you are for a husband.
Ifyou want to marry a irst-class
cook and experienced housekeeper,
do your counting in the intelligence
Office. But if you want a wife,
marry the girl you love, with dim
pied hands and a face like the SUM-
light, and her love will teach her
all these things, my boy, long be-
fore you have learned one-hslf OF
your lesson.
