Rather queer suit has been brought In
an Ohio court against a young heiress living
at Dayton. Some time ago she eloped from
school with one George w. Els. But they
were arrested in Buffalo at the instance of
the girls grandmother. On the threat of
the old lady to disinherit Miss Devore the
thrifty Lothario promptly let her 60 back
home. AT THAT time the family of Miss Devore
strongly suspected that Els was merely
after the girls money. Now pretty strong
color Of probability is added to that view
OF the affair by the recent action Of Mrs.
Els in instituting proceedings for $4,000
damages against Miss Devore for alleged
alienation of her husbands affections That
gives it the aspect of rather determined
effort to wrest the poor girls money from
her. Apparently they are bent upon hav-
ing Miss Lula Devore's funds transferred to
the Els family. If they can't get the money
one way they 60 for it another. Possibly
the whole scheme may have been precon-
certed between Els and his wife. Any man
who is mean enough to act in the way he
did with that innocent girl is u nprincipled
enough for just anything. Some Of tine de-
vices to get money these days merit punish
ment more than many Of the offenses that
are prescribed by the statutes.

Freaks of a Malicious Fool.
Eronl the PHILADELPHIA LEDGER Lit.N.

There is a man in the western part of Penn
sylvania who, il Is reported, for several years
past has been amusing himself by keeping his
wife In constant terror by frequent and dram.
attic threats of suicide. AT one time he would
pretend to take poison and at another time
10 hang himself. Several times at midnight he
had taken her to the barn and exhibited the
rope and moose with which he intended to end
his life. Again at 2 or O'Clock in the morning
he left the house to hang himself In the barn
she had become terrified and followed him. to
fiud him with the moose around his neck Sew
eral times he had drawn a revolver and threat
eued TO kill her and then himself Then he
would go 20 the barn and she would hear pistol
shots. One night in November, 1890, Carr dis
played an open knife and remarked that it
would do quicker work than a revolver At
apother time she found him lying on the floor
witha razor in his hand as if he were dead. At
length the wife brought an action for divorce
against her joking husband.

She Screamed at the First Salute.

This, am assured, is true story, says a
writer in the Detroit Free Press. The gentle
man himself told it to me, and the lady, now
his wife, sat beside him and admitted it to be
true He had waited on her for several weeks,
when one evening he resolved to kiss her, and
told her so.
"You shall do nothing of the kind" she said
with good deal of asperity
But he was not to be frightened out of it. He
reached for her, but she drew away and indg-
nantly declared that If ne undertook any such
liberties she would scream. He didn't believe
she would SO he grabbed up and gave her a
good rousinR smack.
Sure enough, she screeohed like steam CALI
ope and frightened the young man well nigh
out of his senses, for he heard the family rusn-
ing toward the parlor. The young lady's
mother was the first to enter, and the father
came close behind.
What's the matter?' asked the mother
The young man stood by the piano, wishing
the roof would fall in and bury everybody. The
young lady had jumped upon the sofa.
Il saw a mouse" she said
The parents went back, and the young man
kissed her until she couldn't have told mouse
from a mountain.

Tricks That Puzzled Lord Tennyson.
A village barber, who is a neighbor of Lord

invited TO show his skill before the laureate
The London Telegraph tells this story OF the
performances: He counted out 10 shillngs into
LORD Tenny sons hand, telling him to hold them
tightly.

qured the money again. there were only s shil-

ships face was indescribable, while the laughter
of the other guests at the situation was unmis-
taxable hearty. In this hiarity it is needless
to say, the poet most good temperedly Joined.

formers the amateur professor of legerdemait
said 81 don't doubt your honesty, my lord, bu-

more than he wanted. At the conclusion of the
entertainment Lord Tennyson expressed his
pleasure at the exhibition, aud did so, as the
delighted barber tells his friends, in these terms:
"Your feats were very clever, Mr.. -, and it is
great credit to the village that can boast of
such talent"

AT Valdivia number of Balmacedist
prisoners are said to be held by the Gillian
provisional government Among them are
included several against whom members of
the junta and others of the successful party
have personal auimositieS. Some of these
have been cruelty tortured and many put to
death. Besides squaring old scores with its
enemies active steps are being taken by the
Chilean government to regain control in
Araucania. All the garrisons in that re-
gion were withdrawn by Balmaceda in or
der to strengthen his military forces IN the
field, and the fierce and independent Arauca-
mans have lately been showing DISPOSE
ton to move upon Chilean territory. They
have never been fully subdued, and their
hatred Of the Chileans is very bitter. So it
appears that Provisional President Montt
will have plenty to do without making war
upon the United States for the present.

More Sound Than substance.

The reciprocity policy of Mr.. Blaine has
not produced such extraordinary results as
to justify the immense amount Of Boosting
that the republican papers have INDUCED in
with regard to it Since the policy went
into effect the bureau of statistics has sent
out great many statements showing the
increase in the amount of our exports
to those countries with which we have
reciprocity treaties. The latest statement
that has been given to the public, and which
has been the subject of considerable COM
ment, deals with our trade with Brazil
Our export trade with Brazil has been in
creasing right along, year after year, and
the increase has not been much greater since
he making OF the reciprocal agreement
than before that agreement became opera
tive. According to the statement of the
bureau of statistics our exports to Brazil
during the first five months of
reciprocity amounted to only 81, 1927
more than for the preceding five months.
This increase. attributed to reciprocity,
was therefore only about $4,000 year-a
sum so small as to be hardly worth noticing.
Indeed, it is doubtful if this increase can be
properly attributed to reciprocity, because
our exports to most of the countries with
which we have trade relations have been
steadily increasing for a number of years
The republicans purpose TO make all they
can out of the reciprocity policy during the
| approaching presidential campaign. In
deed, they brought that policy into great
| prominence in the recent campaign
in Ohio, their purpose being to
convince the farmers that what
was needed to insure their prosperity was
not tariff reform, but protection diluted
with reciprocity. But unless they get
more encouraging statistics than those
which show our export trade with Brazil
they will find it difficult to convince the
farmers that this new republican scheme to
protect the manufacturing monopolies is
particularly beneficial to them.

Some idea OF the number of southerners
living in New York aud Chicago may be
gathered from the fact that Gov. Gordon
promulgated an order last Saturday estab-
fishing confederate veteran camps IN each
of these cities with a major general In COM
mand of each. Among the most important
duties of these officers is to look after the
confederate dead that may be buried within
the boundaries of their respective jurlsdic-
ton. That is an object in which they will
probably have the hearty cooperation Of
all unprecedented people of whatever politi-
cal views.

Another fine scheme for the discontinue
of Senator PETER has been devised by the
friends of Ingalls, and other stalwart repub
icsns There are some Kansas republicans
who can never become reconciled to the
sight OF Western Alliance PETER occupying
a seat in the United States Senate. 1t was
reported that an attempt would be made to
contest his election. But that plan was
finally decided to be impracticable. Since
that scheme has been evolved which has
at least the merit of novelty. 1t is being
eagerly talked of among a certain limited
crowd. To carry it out it will be necessary
to elect republican Legislature next year.
Then it is proposed to create the office of
state agent at Washington. It Will be the
duty of this official to draw a salary of
$1,000 and act as colleague of Senator
Plumb in all department work. 1t will be
Senator Plumb's duty and the duty Of the
republican Senate under this plan to ignore
Senator PETER and treat the state agent as
the real senator and accord to him full
senatorial power except that of voting.
Rumor says that the discussion of the plan
has gone so far as to mention possible
candidates for the Office. At this time the
favorite is said to be ex-Congressman Per-
kins. II Senator Whiskers A. PETER doesn't
jump around pretty spry he may soon
find his ostensible occupation gone.

Kansas is said to be very literally be-
sprfnkled with people who do not like
Whiskers PETER Whether this is because
he has for years been shedding the letters in
his erstwhile complicated name or because
of his dense profusion of riotous whiskers
or because he has been making light of the
financial opulence Of the state Possibly it
may be somewhat attributable TO the prev
alence Of the impression that the bewhis-
kered husbandman does not satisfactorily
fill the shoes of ingalls,. That phenome-
nally thin statesman is accredited with a
very robust understanding even though it
was located some distance from his hat.
