The Reason.

fo the Editor OF The lttt-"r.
MEXICO, Mo, Jan. 25.-Why
does a woman, when married, as
sumo the name of her husband?
WoMAN's RIGHTS.
The reason why women take the
names OF their husbands is, that
it is necessary that their children
should be called after one of their
parents. Ifthey took the name of
both, in a few generations the
names would be too long for publ
cation. In Scotland, at the COM
mencement of the century, women
did not take their husbands
names, and in Spain and other
countries, the woman retains her
name and when signing papers
writes her husbands name after
her fathers.

The Death of Isaac Frank.

DR.. r. w. Bourn, of this city,
was in Little Rock, Arkansas, in
the spring of 1887. 1t was in that
season of that year that Isaac
Frank, formerly of Mexico, died.
He was attacked with some sort of
Southern fever shortly after his
arrival IN Little Rock and after
lingering d week, died. DR.. Bourn
says the rumor printed in the LED
GER several days ago is entirely
without foundation. He saw Mr..
Frank two or three days before his
death and he said he could see that
the sick man was beyond recovery.
DR.. Bourn was in Little Rock after
deceased's death, bat he did not
see the body.
The article printed in this paper
on this subject several days ago
was the outcome of a conversation
held by a reporter and Mr.. John
w. Howell. Mr.. Howell some
time ago spent a night at the resi-
dence of Louis Hubert, promin-
ent German farmer who lives
northeast of Mexico. While there
he heard the story as printed, The
gentlemen who claim to have seen
Isaac Frank recently are Horny
Mycr and Lorenz Feger.

AN LOPIN COUPLE

AN ElOflNT tOjIlE
OF the first water.
Of all the young gentlemen who
live in the quiet little town of
Huntsville, none is more popular
in social circles than young Mr.. W.
w. Morehead. Miss Mallie Baker
lived on a farm near Huntsville
with her parents until Thursday
morning. On the quiet the two
young people mad been making
love, but it appears that the lady's
parents objected to a match on the
grounds of the undue frnlicsome
nature of the young man. Miss
Baker parents are very religious
and the thought of mating their
daughter with a jolly society young
gentleman did not meet with their
approval. Thursday the glil pack
ed her trunk and getting it over to
the depot, met her lover, and when
the train come along, they bearded
it and came to this city. At the
depot Mr.. Moyehead was a little
surprised to see the brother of his
betrothsd standing by. but finally
he summoned up courage and said:
"See here, Jim, there is Aiaase OF
you following us. You can't pre-
vent us getting married, no matter
what you do" The obstinate
brother never answered, and he
boarded the tram and seated him
self right by their side. When
they reached this city, they young
couple eluded the brother and
were married.
Mr.. Morehead isa lively. hand
some young fellow; one of the kind
who live on excitement. He is e
years of age, aud very wealthy, and
| has known his bride ever since hi
was a little bit of a boy. Mrs
Morehead is a very charming little
brunette, just 10 years old, PLUMP

lar in Huntsville, owing to he
winning ways.

. YEAR WITHOUT SUMMER
The Famous Eighteen Hundred
aud Starve to Death Year
oflSl6.


will have IL companion when the
history of the century is written.
The year 1916 enjoyed an "open
winter during the entire twelve
months, being frequently referred
to by contemporaneous writers as
1.-The year without a summer" All
through the settled portions of the
United States, and in England
there was a frost in every month,
crops were ruined, and farmers
called it the year of Eighteen
hundred and starve to DEATH
Snow fell in November of 1915, but
there was none in December or
January to speak of. Christmas
and New Years were 'warm, open
and green" and faithful to the old
saw that "a green Christmas makes
a fat churchyard." The old pee
pie predicted all sors OF dire calam-
tiles, and the result would to
Justify it. January was a very
mild month, the sun shone every
day, and a little snow that fell
hardly covered the earth, and soon
melted.
People prepared for great storms
and extreme cold weather in reb-
ruary, but were disappointed, as it
! was even milder than January.
| Toward the end IF the month, and
during the first days of March, a
terrible storm ragged and gave place
to cold and boisterous winds. The
weather OF January was repeated
in April, but grew colder as the
DAYS passed, ending with snow and
ice and very low temperature. In
May Ice formed an inch thick on
the rivers and streams, buds and
flowers were frozen and the entire
corn crop killed. Frost, ice and
snow were common in June, and
all attempts to raise vegetable
product failed. The condition of
the farmers Is described as being
desperate, and they were compell-
ed to hoard their crops of the pre-
ceeding year, and necessitated a
big increase in prices. Almost
every green thing was killed. and
the fruitnearly all destroyed.
July was accompanied with frost
and ice. The 4th was cold, and d
clustering wind, raw and uncom-
Portable, swept the entire Atlantic
Coast. On the day following ice
was formed of the thickness of
window glass in New York City,
all through New England, and in
Pennsylvania. In August ice half
an inch thick was frequently e
September and~0etebcr presented
the-1eafest approach to summer
weather of any other months in
the year, but in November snow
and extreme cold weather began,
and a severe winter continued up
to April, when summer began, and
the elements permitted the farmers
to realize bounteous crops.
The same condition OF affairs ex-
listed in England as in this country,
only it was not as yer In
Central New York, it is stated,
: corn was so badly frozen in the
summer that it was cut down and
dried for fodder. The warm
weather of January SO encourag-
ed a Vermont farmer that he
planted corn, and, in fact,
some of it was in good con-
dition during March. Farmers
were compelled to pay 81 or 50 a
bushel Tor the corn of 1916 for seed.
