~ MI WIFE.

The San Francisco Call does not mar
vel that the Supreme Court should de-
eide that a MAI and woman have been
legally husband and wife in the absence
Of q marriage ceremony. We do not
doubt that older States show a line Of
decisions to the same effect. The Call
simply desires to direct attention to the
legal anomaly that would be presented if
a +" husband Of this description should
20 through the ceremony Of marriage
with another woman. Every woman is
not supposed to know whether or not a
man she meets sustains the relation of
husband to some other woman. II there
has been a marriage ceremony the re-
cords show il; if there has simply been
an admission Of the relation OF husband
and wife, only those may know it to
whom it has been made. And in despite
OF the assertions Of the latter there is
much doubt If a man having lived in
such relations with one woman, who
submits to marriage ceremony with
another, can be convicted of bigamy.
Proof Of first marriage that has not
been dissolved by death or the courts
would probably be required as the basis
Of a prosecution for bigamy. The ques-
tion is one upon which all decent men
will agree in principle. The prime object
of law is to protect innocent parties from
those who would effect their ruin.
Woman, as the party most likely to be
deceived in such cases, and as the party
who suffers most severely by deception
is entitled to every protection the law
can possibly throw around her.

Mary's brother John.

Mary had little lamb, its fleece was
white as snow; it strayed away mi
Summer day where lambs should never
GO. Then Mary sat her down and tears
streamed from her eyes; she never found
the lamb because she did not advertise.
And Mary had a brother John, who kept
a village store; he sat down and smoked
his pipe and watched the open door.
And as the people passed along and did
not stop to buy, John still sat down and
smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy
eye. And so the Sheriff closed him out,
but still he fingered near, and Mary
came to drop with him a sympathetic
tear. GLOW is it, sister, can you tell
why-the other merchants here, sell all
their goods and thrive from year to
year ?" Remembering now her own bad
luck the little maid replies: "These
other fellows get there, John, because
they advertise. "-Ex.

His sisters Funeral.

A number Of years ago a school exhibit
tion was on the programme at Mukwan-
ago and on the night of the momentous
event one Of the little girls who was to
have taken part in il lay dangerously
sick at home. The doctor had just made
his evening visit and pronounced the
case almost hopeless when her brother
rushed into the house crying, mamma,
mamma, where's the comb? I want to
comb my hair to go to the exhibition"
''Sakes alive, Joseph!" she replied, and
your poor sister expected to die at any
minute. There, take the comb and go
along with yer. / do believe you had
rather go to that old exhibition than go
to your own sisters funeral. "-Milwau-

How lonely the mothers heart feels
when her lad shows for the first time
that he feels too big to be kissedl So
many boys are afraid that they may be
considered babyish if they show any
signs Of affection. They are afraid of
being called "girl.boys." or "tied to
mammy's apron string" But this is 3
sad mistake on their parts. A man is
never more manly than when loving and
shielding the mother who loved and pro.
tected him through childhood. Don't
let the boys grow away from you, moth
ers. They need you just as much as the
girls do. A boy who is tender and low
ing to his mother will be sure to be the
to his wife.

who Can Read This Correctly

The following rather curious piece OF
composition was once placed upon a
blackboard at a teachers institute, and
a prize of a Webster's dictionary offered
to any person who could read and pro-
nounce every word correctly. The book
was not carried off, however, as twelve
was the lowest number OF mistakes in
the pronunciation made
A sacreligeous son of Belial, who SUI
fered from bronchitis, having exhausted
his finances, in order to make good his
deficit, resolved to ally himself to a
comedy, l~enient, and docile young lady
Of the Malay or Caucasian race. He
accordingly purchased a caliope and
coral necklace Of a chameleon hue, and
securing a suite of rooms at a principal
hotel he engaged the head waiter as a
c~oadjutor. He then dispatched a letter
of the most unexceptional caligrapby
~extant, inviting the young lady to a
matinee. She revolted at the idea, re.
fused to consider herself sacriicable to
his desires, and sent a polite note Of re-
fusal, on receiving which he procured a
carbine and bowie knife, said that he
would not now forge letters hymeneal
with the queen, went to an isolated spot,
severed his jugular vein and discharged
the contents Of the carbine into his alb.
domen. The debris was removed by the

TIE MORTGAGE.

-
We worked through Spring and Winter,
thro' Summer and through Fall,
Bat the mortgage worked the hardest and
steadiest Of Us all.
II worked on nights and Sundays, u
worked each holiday;
II settled down among us, and 10 never
went away.
Whatever we kept from 10 seemed alb
most bad az theft;
II watched us every time, and il ruled us
right and left.
The rust and blight we're with us some
times and sometimes they were not,
The dark-browed sullen mortgage was for
ever on the spot.
The weevil and the cut.worm. they went
as well as came,
The mortgage stayed forever, eating
hearty all the same.
II nailed up every window, stood guard at
svery door;
And happiness and sunshine make their
home with III no more.
Till, with failing crops and sickness. we
got stalled upon the grade,
And there came a day upon US when she
interest wasn't paid.
And there came . sharp foreclosure, and
l kind % lost my hold,
And grew weary and discouraged. and she

The children left and scattered, when they
yet we're hardly grown;
Ny wife abe pinned and persisted, an 1
found myself alone.
What she died OF was q mystery, an the
doctors never knew;
But l knew she died Of mortgage just ss
well as I want TO-.
II to trace a hidden sorrow we're within the
doctors art,
They'd ha' found a mortgage lying on
that woman's broken heart.
Worm or BEETLE. drought or tempest, on

But for first-class ruination, trust Q

has wrought at the South. -Ex.

JEFF DAVIS GAVE HIM A
DGHT-

The following little story, an absolute
fact concerning the late Jefferson Davis,
may not be cut Of order, says a writer in
the New York Herald. Several years
before the war my father-Judge Thos.
NJ. O'Brien, now Of ColorAdo-was q
resident Of Washington. The lady who
afterward became my mother lived in
Washington, and it was during their
eourtship that the interesting episode
occurred. Ny father, who was an in
veterate smoker, had just paid an even
ing visit to his sweetheart, and upon
leaving the house produced a cigar for
his inevitable smoke and then discovered
he had no match. Observing = man APP
preaching in the distance my father
walked toward him, and upon meeting
the gentleman stopped him with 81 beg
your pardon, sir, but will you oblige me
with a light?" Without o moments
hesitation the gentleman reached his
right hand around to his hip pocket and
drew out q revolver, with his left hand
removed the cigar from his mouth,
placed the cigar in the muzzle Of the re-
%yolver, and extending that toward my
father said coolly: Certainly, SIR"
In the glare OF the lamp or the oppo.
site corner my father recognized MIR.
Davis. At the time referred to the
sandbagger and footpad wer holding
forth royalty in the Capital, and MIR.
Davis had simply been prepared for the
gentry who were in the habit OF asking
the "time Of night" or "for a light"
My father accepted the light thus Of
fered, and some time afterward, upon
being introduced to Mr.. Davis, spoke OF
his nocturnal encounter, and through
the general explanation and laugh that
followed an acquaintance sprang up that
continued to the opening Of the war.

Fancy this Government receiving a re-
port from it's delegates on Mr.. Postmas-
ter Wanamaker's great pin and ribbon
shop! Imagine a French df' English
Cabinet officer vulgarly advertising his
private business in such a manner! Great
shopkeepers have climbed into the Brit
ish Cabinet, but they "sank the shop "
after getting there. Sohoolmasters have
entered the French Cabinet, but they
have left the pedagogue at the door of
the council hall. A g%rocer's son has
ruled a great European State, but he no
longer sold Goldfish and raisins. As the
wise Solomon remarked: "There is q

crafts. Hand labOur admitted OF being
raised to a very high degree of excellence;
and each man should endeavOur to raise hB
manual production to the highest excellence
of which it was capable. He deprecated
the scamping of work, because it was a

The health of the city of Georgetown
may be said to be worse at the present day
than it has been at any time in the city's
history, saving perhaps during the small
pox or cholera epidemics which occurred
between 80 and 40 years ago, During the
month o: August there were 315 intermentS
in LIE Repentir cemetery, this being "a
more than in July and 1913 more than in tine
corresponding month of last year. The
prevailing trouble is influenza, said by some
practitioners to DE Of the Russian type, by
Others to DC of milder form. Whatever
it is, it is appaIlingly deadly but, because
the deaths are happening for the most part
amongst the poor, the mortality has not
caused any sensation, either in social or
