LEFT HER YOUTHFUL HUsBAND.-Fur.
Their proof that May and December cannot
live happily together comes from Paterson,
N. J., where the pastor of an Epscopal
church has separated from his sixty-year old
bride. Two years ago, when the Rev. Ed,
win B. Rnssell was pastor of church 10
that town, he fell in love, or thought he did,
with Mrs. Kate Brown, then fifty eight
years old. He was about thirty three.
The oourtship resulted in an engagement
and marriage, but the good people of the
town of Paterson were 30 thoroughly shock
ed at the union of the two persons of such
difference in ages that they made scandal
of the wedding and subsequently, the resig-
nation of Pastor Russell was requested. He
resigned promptly and accepted call to the
pastorate of an Episcopal church in Flor
ence, Italy. Thither he took his aged bride
to live out the last days OF a honeymoon.
That was about two years ago. Recently
Mrs Russell returned to her home in Pat
ersop, bringing the news of 81 formal sepa-
ration from Der husband. She is fine look
ing widow, and worth considerable property.
She decided much of this over to her hus-
hand shortly alter the marriage, but having
failed In health the property has been turn
cd over to the church trustees. Pastor Rus
sci, gossip says, could have won the heart
of any young lady in Paterson.

Forest Fire.

HELENA, Mon, June 2S-All efforts TO
check the forest free which started in Cas-
cads county near Sand Coules two days ago,
have proved unavaillng. AdVices up to
last night show that 1t has covered an area
of over one hundred square miles, and has
destroyed the best hay ground In the vicin
ity. The loss will be very heavy owing to
the fact that the dry season had already
greatly reduced the hay crop. No such
prairie fire has been known In Montana In
recent years. So far no lives have been
reported lost, though several ranchmen
have been burned out.
