Six Short Love Stories.

Adam Kengle and Augusta Krau
kauer, of Minnesota, were to hay
been married October Is. In an un
guarded moment Adam swore at
Sunday school picnic. Augusta faint
ed and was sick for some days in con
sequence, being delirious most of tn,
time. She swore most awful oathl
while out of her head and her father
suspected Adam of having used sucI
language constantly in her pIeserce and
the wedding is declared off.
Mary Hall and James Flanders, OF
lronton, Missouri, had never met until
the afternoon of October 8. Their
meeting was accidental. Mary slipped
and would have fallen while crossing
the street if James strong arm had not
upheld her. As he grasped her both
were thrilled. An acquaintance was
soon struck up and at O'Clock that
night they were married. Mary re-
grets the incident very much.
Esther Stevenson fell in love with
Thomas Newcombe, clerk in her
fathers business house in Olathe, Kan
sas. Thomas was willing, but poor
and youthful. He was but 10 and
Esther was 81. Esther elopcd with
him, having provided herself with
funds from her fathers pocketbook
without his consent. Thomas is now
in Jail, and Esther is Oh a visit to
friends in Montana
John st. Georges of Florida and
Emily Lacinne of Louisiana never met
until they had been married month.
The engagement and courtship was by
letter. The marriage was by tcle-
graph, in order that the bride could
execute certain documents in New
Orleans as Mrs. st. Georges without
having to return. 1t took month TO
get the business transacted and reach |
her husband. The latter says he is
olerably well satisfied with his bar
gain, but thinks his wife lied about
ier age and sent him some other girls
picture.
Terence O'Hara and Bridget
)'Rourke lived in adjoining houses at
'ainted Post, New York, for thirteen
ears. They loved, were married, and
ave lived together seven years, but
ave never spoken word to each
Their. Both are deaf and dumb and
'erence is blind. Bridget can not
nell very well, but their three chill
rem have full possession of their
enses.
1t is not William Peterson's fault
lat he is single. He lives in Iowa,
nd has tried to elope four times. His
st attempt was coupled with the rob- !
cry of his prospective father-in-law. t
lillian is in Jail, his adored is in
ars, and her father in high spirits. S
lillian will remain single for some a

Austrian Opinion Of American Women

American women, if they are not
always beautiful, at least know how to
make themselves appear so. Nowhere
have ever seen so many beautiful
women as in America, including even
old women with white hair. The native
American girl, especially if of English
or Scotch descent, is large and slender.
generally blonde. with regular features
and remarkably small hands and feet.
The complexion is often pale; rarely
do they have the fresh color of Vien-
nese girl. The most beautiful girl /
have ever come across in my life i saw
in New York store. She was an
American of Spanish descent, of lit
orally dazzling beauty, such as had
never before encountered in life or
on canvas. The happiest marriages
are those of American men to German
women.

The EIeetrie TeIegraph Not a New idea.

Joseph Granville, sometimes called
"Sadducismus Triumphatus Glanyill,v
rector of Bath from 1866 to 1872. was
a learned writer upon abstruse and
mystical subjects, but in STYLE of
which 1t is not always easy to catch the
meaning. In one of his treatises, called
"Thc Vanity of Dogmatizing,D printed
In 1907, chapter xxi, he is speaking of
''supposed impossibilities, which may
not be So" In the concluding sentence
of the following passage he seems to
have anticipated the electric telegraph:
'sBut yet to advance another instance.
That men should confer at very distant
removes by an extemporary intercourse
is reputed impossibility; but yet there
are some hints IN natural operations
that give us probability that tits feas-
ible, and may be compassed without
unwarrantable assistance from demo-
MACK correspondence. That couple
of needles equally touched by the same
magnet, being set in two dials exactly
proportioned TO each other, and cir
cumscribed by the letters of the alpha
bet, may effect this 'magnale' ri.e., i'm
authorities TO avouch it.
'sThe manner of it is thus repre-
sented. Let the friends that would
communicate take each a dial, and.
having appointed time for their sym
pathetic conference, let one move his
impregnate needle to any letter in the
alphabet, and its affected fellow will
precisely respect the same. So that
would ] know what my friend would
acquaint me with, It's but observing
the letters that are pointed at by my
needle, and in their order transcribing
them from their symphatised index, as
Its motion directs: and | may be as
sured that my friend described The
same with his, and that the words on
my paper are of his inditing. Now,
.hough there will be some ill-contriy-
ince III circumstance of this inyen-
ion, in that the thus impregnate
needles will not move to, bur avert
rom each other Gas ingenious DIR.
5rowne hath observed), yet this can
lot prejudice the main design of this
way of secret conveyance; since it is
mt reading counter to the magnetic in
ormer, and noting the letter which is
most distant in the Abecederian circle,
rom that which the needle turns to,
nd the case is not altered.
Now, though this desirable effect
ossibly may not yet answer the ex-
ectations of inquisitive experiment,
ct tits no despicable item, that by
'me other such way of magnetic eff
cheney. it may hereafter with success
attempted, when magical history
lall be enlarged by ripper Inspections
nd It's not unlikely but that present
scoycries might be improved to the

A Young Monarch.

One of the youngest monarchs in the
world is King Thantai of AMMAN.
He is 9 years Of age, very precocious,
and fully conscious of the Importance
of his position. He is solemn and
thoughtful, disdains all childish sports,
and spends all of his time in the Sc
clusion of his palace, studying, con-
versing with aged counselors, and
porting over books and manuscripts.
He is learning Chinese and French,
and Shove remarkable aptitude in the
acquisition of foreign tongues. He is
very arbitrary and exacting, and his
teachers stand in great awe of him.

SANKEY'S LAST Achievement.

In the history of exploration and adj
venture few things are more memoir
able than the dispatch lately received
from Stanley announcing that he and
Emin Pasha are well advanced upon
their journey to the east coast of
Africa. 1t is almost quarter of a
century since, to the amazement and
admiration of the world, man pre-
ylously unknown undertook to find
Livingstone, and found him. OF the
career thus begun it was a fitting
crown that Stanley should determine
to rescue Emin, and should tri-
umphantly fulfil his purpose.
We had learned from former dis
patches that when Stanley, after ac-
complishing the long and difficult as
cent of the Congo and one of its main
afiiuents, first encountered Emin Pasha.
the latter was unwilling to forsake the
equatorial province which his self
devotion had carved out of the heart
of Africa. Although cut off from
Europe by the capture of Khartoum.
Emin Pasha continued faithfully to
humanize and civilize the people com
United to his care, and he had up to
that time succeeded in protecting them
from Mahdist aggression. Should he
abandon them he knew that they would
speedily relapse into savagery and be
anew subjected to slave huntino devas-
tation. He would stay at his post.
therefore-so he told Stanley-as long
as there was work for him to do.
IL is fortunate that Stanley did not
take the man, whom he had come to
rescue, at his word. Had he done so.
and returned to Europe by way OF the
Congo, we now know that Emin must
have shared the fate of Gordon. He
retraced his steps, however, only as far
IS the place where he had left a large
deposit of arms and ammunition with
iis rear guard. Once possessed of
hese resources, Stanley fastened back
o the last surviving representative of
he khedive's authority in Central
Africa, but found that in his absence
smin had been made a prisoner by
ONE of his own men, and that the
erocious Mahdists were advancing up
he Nile.
Both rescuer and rescued deserve
he homage of the world. The bioh
i'm of Emin's self-consecrating labors
nd the brilliant gallantry of Stanley's
will shine forth on the
ark background to which, it is too
robable, the heart of Africa is now
ondemned for many wears.

THE SMALL FARM.

If a small farm owner brings to

he will have the most money at the
end Of the year. Hired help 10 not
only EXPENSIVE, but At times very
uncertain and unreliable, but .
mans own hands, with . heart in
his work, which seldom accompa-
MES hired help, are always available

Several weeks ago the great ma
tional game Of base ball came up
like a hoppergrass in Mountain
Home and fiourished like rank
weed, until the boys tired out and
stopped playing on account Of
lack Of strength. Last Sunday,
however. the fever broke out in a
new place, and in the afternoon a
large crowd assembled at the
grounds in the western part Of
town to play a little base ball just
for the fun Of the thing, and they
succeed admirably. Messrs. John
son and Madison were the captains
for the respective sides, while Mr.

runs in the first inning and though
they had the game won, but late
