Is HE A MARRIED MANI
The Serious Side of a Joke Perpetrated
by an Illinois Lawmaker.

Dan G. Ramsay, one of the members of
the Illinois Legislature, confesses himself in
quandary; he is unable to determine
whether he is a married man or bachelor.
The difficulty is an interesting one mas
much as it involves the troublesome ques-
ton whether contract of marriage en-
tered into in spirit of fun is valid in law

Now l will give you the correct pedi-
gree OF Flora Temple and One-Eyed
Hunter. And, first, One-Eyed Hunter.
He was by VIM. Ferguson's Hunter, he
by Lewis Sherrill's Kentucky Hunter, he
by Watkins Highlander and he by the
imported Highlander. Kentucky Hun
ter's dam was a Kentucky-bred mare,
said to be thoroughbred, Thus origi-
mated the name and famous breed of
horses. Edwin Forrest | sold to Mr..
Alexander of Kentucky. Edwin Forrest
was grandsre of Mr.. Bonner's Edwin
Forrest and the fastest PAGER in the world
as yet (Johnston) and many others.
Edwin Forrest was by Ferguson's Hun
ter. | also sold to Mr.. Alexander the
dam of Flora, when she was % years
old, and two of her colts as yearlings. |
afterwards sold him the horse AleXan-
der's Norman, which proved good
stock horse. | have before me an old
pass book which | used for memoranda
years ago. | find on one leaf the follow
ing, furnished by one who knows and
who is reliable Flora Temple was sired
by One-Eyed Hunter under Aunt Lois
Norton's shed in the town of Sangerfield,
Oneida Co., n. Y, in the year 1874.
Excuse me; am apt to write at length
on horse subjects. Please acknowledge
receipt of this, and inform me if there
are any rich mineral depOSltS in your
country, as | am now mored isposed to
minerals than horses, though / have a
good one, half brother to MaXey Cobb,
and am afraid he will prove to be a

LYNDHURsT, ONT, Jnne 2S, 1890.
Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir Yours of the 18th ult. went
the rounds and found me where am en-
gagged in mining. In reply to yours will
say | was well acquainted with the
LOOMS Bros. and their horses. Their
horse Bogus was large fox sorrel, with
blaze face and other white points, rather
sway backed; weight, about 1900 ;
height, trhe over l6 hands. AS to his
pedigree | don't remember whether
ever heard. | did not like him and con-
sequently did not think it worth while
to know his pedigree. 1t was never
claimed that he was the sire of Flora I'M
til she turned out to be such a famous
trotter. The Loomises had another
horse, known as One-Eyed Hunter,
which they took with Bogus rs teaser.
often told the boys they ought to reverse
the thing and use Bogus for that pur-
pose. But large horses were the rage at
the time, and One-Eyed Hunters being
rather small was the cause of his use AS
teaser only, except in cases where they
could not use Bogus or wanted to give
away colt.

Mr.. Ramsay contended that it was a law
full common law marriage, and Miss Cald-
well told him to draw up similar con-
tract. For what purpose?" asked the
lawyer. Never mind" was the responses;
Just draw one out"
Mr. Ramsay clipped the contract in
question from newspaper, pasted it on a
slip of paper and signed it. The young
lady attached her signature to it, and the
document then read:
We hereby certify that on the lst day of De-
cember, 1890, we united ourselves in marriage at
Johnstown in the county of Cambria, having first
obtained from the clerk of the orphans court of
said county a declaration that he was satisfied
that there were no existing impediments to our so
doing. Signed, D. c. RAMSAY,
Attest BESSIE CALDWELL.
r J. Long, j. p,
Frank f. Milford.
The fact that such contract was in ex-
istence soon became public property, and
the result was "A spirited controversy as to
whether or not the parties were man and
wife Mr.. Ramsay contended that the af-
fair was neither more nor less than joke,
and Miss Caldwell admits that she is ig-
norant of what it's legal force may be. Mr..
Ramsay is troubled, however, by the I'M
pleasant notoriety growing out of the mat
ter, and is afraid that Miss Caldwell may
be injured by the joke "There is really
nothing in it," he explained to an inter
viewer. Suppose we had signed our
names to a deed to property which was
clipped FROM a newspaper. That would
not convey the property, nor do our sigma
lures to this clipping put there in a spirit
of humor, make us man and wife. l have
been the groom in several mock marriages
at church fairs and entertainments of that
kind, and know that this affair amounts
to nothing more than a joke which has
taken a rather disagreeable turn"
1--WE never had any idea of getting mar
ried," said Miss Caldwell, in giving her
version of the affair "Pshawi it was just
in fun. Once we went over to st. Louis
together, and we joked then about clipping
and Dan always said afterward that he
had proposed to elope, and he had bluffed
me clean out"
1t is believed in East st. Louis that the
legal question involved will be settled by
another ceremony, and that Mr.. Ramsay
and Miss Caldwell will speedily be married
in real earnest.

The EARMERS' GARDEN.

The following is from paper recently
read at farmers meeting in New York
State:
Some things by country are called
gardens. They are patches of ground
surrounded by dlapdated fence and a
few ragged, untrimmed currant bushes
and few struggling berry vines. A few
neglected gooseberry bushes are strug-
Cling in corner for existence. The lit
tie fruit which may start on these bushes
soon succumbs to the ravages of the
worms. A pillow does the tillage, as best
it can, and Il short row of peas furnishes
a meal or so. Some beans and other veg
etables make few wholesome meals,
bit by the last of summer they are gone,
and then the farmers wife must resort
to the pork barrel. The farmers garden
Is too small. 1t should be large enough
to till with horse, and should contain
everything. Plant, among other things,
the old Champion pea, and use the fence
wire for it to climb on; one set of this
wire will last for many years if put away
when the peas are gone. Variety is a
great thing in a garden; have something
all through the seasOn-beans, peas and
corn. There should be beds of the per-
manent vegetables like asparagus. The
family health will be improved by good
garden. 1t is cheaper than drugs and
doctors. The patient matron should be
furnished with these aids. If the hus-
band had to provide meals from nothing
he would resign for a lunatic asylum. 1t
is wicked to deprive a woman of the ben
efits of a good garden. 1t will make a
more cheerful home. The excuse of "no
time is all wrong. Let farmer show
that he loves his wife by giving her a
good garden to help her in her toll and to
give her strength and love of home.
How can family love home which has
not the attraction of good garden and a
table spread with some varied and palat-
able food? Peas are better than pills.
The lack of garden will often cause
sickness as the blood does not have the
benefit of vegetable diet. We should
provide those things for our table which
will give the system tone and vigor, and
this can be done In no cheaper or better
way than with the blessings of a good
garden.

Self Supporting Indians.

For the benefit of those people who
think the Indian will not work." said
Commiss ioner Morgan in a recent inter
view, 81 want to mention the sum
which we paid ont last year for Indian
labor. Ii was s642, 200. This money was
paid to agency and school employees, to
farmers, Interpreters, police, judges of In
dian courts, for hauling supplies, for prod
uce hay, wood and other supplies pur-
chased from them, for brea King land on
government properly and for logs cut and
banked by them. | contend tnat this is a
very good showing for Indian labor, and
the sum paid would be ten times as large
as it is if there was work enough to give
employment to all who wish it.
"The Umatilla Indians of Oregon have
been under care Of the government for
thirty years. and are practically self sup
porting, and would long ago have been
entirely independent had their lands
been allotted to them in severalty. The
total population is only 1000, yet last year
they harvested $4,000 bushels of wheat,
cut 1000 tons of hay, and other crops in
proportion. In very short time, | think,
this tribe, as well as others who have rich
lands and fair opportunities, such as the
white settlers select for themselves, will
be able to stand alone.
1.-The Utes, who few years ago were lead
ing the life of nomad savages, have 6OOa acres
under cultivation, and raise goodly quaint
ties of wheat, corn and oats. They have
learned the art of irrigation by means OF
bitches. The Jicarilla Apaches show al
Unborn thrift. Though the white settlers
have al the best lands, and the Indians
have no water for irrigation purposes, they
cultivated last year $50 acres with fair re
suits and cut 400 tons of hay. They have
built for themselves, and are now occupy
ing, sixty houses, and have received very
little help from the government"
