JEALOUSY AND SPITE.
Blaine's Cowardly SON and His Actions
Toward "a Faithful Wife.

DENVER, Aug. IA New York special
10 the Nsirs says: Among the chronicles
of society's doings each week in New
York state is always the name OF James
G. Blaine, jr. AT present the unfortunate
lKtle woman is stopping at Saratoga. She
iystill obliged to use her crutch while
walking, as a recent attack of rheuma-
tism left her with one foot drawn its en-
tire length from the ground. Weekly
papers to-day purport 10 give the true
story of the disatiection between the lady
and the family of the secretary of the
state. According TO the story Miss Mar
garet Blaine, now Mrs. Walter Damrosch,
is young lady of violent and uncontrol-
liable temper, and al the same time she is
blindly jealous Of anything in which she
can claim proprietary rights.
She owned valuable hound which she
had trained to follow and be friendly with
no one but herself. At this time the
Blaines were in Augusta. and young Mrs.
Blaine was with them. The dog appeared
TO be passionately fond of her, which evil
dence of fond affection aroused Miss
Margaret's angry protests. One day Mrs.
Blaine, jr., went out; the dog followed her
and, meeting another dog on the way, in
dulged in fight and got wors,cd. On
returning home Mrs. Blaine told Miss
Margaret the circumstances, regretting
that the dog had been injured, whcreupon
Miss Margaret jumped from her chair and
left the room, returning III a few mo-
ments with cowhide with which she
beat the dog until he dropped 10 the
ground. She all the time was saying:
"fll teach you To know who is your
mistress and who 10 follow
This unjustiilable outburst called forth
protest from young Mrs. Blaine, and
that aroused Margaret's mother To- the re-
joinder that tn motherin-law was nobody
and amounted 10 nothing, which in its
turn called forth somewhat angry reply
from the daughter-in-law, and SO il went
on from one word To another, until young
Mrs. Blaine made the remark 10 the
senior Mrs. Blaine, that was impulsiye
and perhaps insolent, which Immediately
called singing response from Mrs,
Blaine as she ordered the younger woman
from the room Then Mrs. Blaine deter
mined to bring about separation of the
young man from his wife, promising him
an annuity for life if he would leave her
which the young man with the cowardly
instincts that have singled him out as the
one unworthy member of remarkable
family accepted. Thus Mrs. Blaine, jr.
has bee.I caused much uneasiness ano
suffering which she in no way deserved.

Tho Story of "Annie Laurie"

The famous song that is sung by all
singers of the present day, l am in
formed, is mystery as to the author.
was raised ON the next farm to James
Laurie, Annie Laurie's father, and was
personally acquainted with her and her
father, and also with the author of the
song. Knowing these facts have been
requested by my friends to give the pub
lie the benefit of my knowledge, which I
have consented to do. Annie Laurie was
born in 1927. and was about II years old
when the incident occurred which gave
rise to the song bearing her name. James
Laurie, Annie Laurie's father, was q
farmer, who lived and owned very
large farm called Traglestown, in Dunn
friesshire, Scotland. He hired great
deal of help, and among those that he
employed was a man by the name Of
Wallace to act as foreman, and while in
his employ Mr.. Wallace fell in love with
Annie Laurie, which fact her father soon
learned and forthwith discharged him.
He went to his home, which was in Max
welton, and was taken sick the very
night he reached there, and the next
morning, when Annie Laurie heard of it,
she came to his bedside and waited on
him until he died, and ON his death bed
he composed the song entitled annie
Laurie. Chicago Herald.

How MIR. Bright Was Taken In.

Mr. Bright used to be fond of salmon
fishing in the Highlands. One evening
he and his party were returning to their
inn after day of poor sport to all except
himself-and he had brace of fine sal
mon. By the roadside on a heap of
stones they passed wretched looking
man weeping, with his hands on his face
and all in rags. In answer to Mr..
Bright's inquiry he told piteous tale of
starvation at home, a sick child and five
hungry children. The tribune put his
hand in his pocket, but unluckily had no
change. "Never mind take that" he
said, offering a salmon. sit will at
least make good dinner for you once"
The sequel was as follows: After washing
his hands Mr.. Bright was coming down
to dinner when girl happened to be
crossing to the larder with fine fish.
''That is my salmon" said Mr.. Bright,
81 know him, for he was hooked on the
outside. Where did you get it," "Oh,
from Sandy" said the simple Scotch las
sic, land he is in the taproom." Mr..
Bright, looking rather grim and stern,
forced his way into the taproom, where
his lachrymose friend sat with number
of cronies taking his nip" and in full
glee recounting his adventure. Nor was
he bit abashed at the stern face of the
peoples tribune, but had begun a long
explanatory statement when the glance
of scorn which had electrified parlia-
ments and audiences swept over him.
Without a word Mr.. Bright returned to
his place. Afterward he was not so
lavish with his fsh.-Cincinnati Com
