A woman,s rerrIbls experience.

A farmer named Morrand found a
woman lying underneath tree near his
farm in st. jerome parish. She was
alive, but almost skeleton, unable to
speak and insane. She was Matilda
Grapin, domestic. Over month ago
she left house to go to church, but had
never been heard of again and was be-
lieved to be dead. She had laid down
under tree where she and her dead hus-
band had often sat together. She fell
asleep and slept for two days, and when
she awoke she had lost her reason. She
wandered about the woods for thirty
five days, and never tasted any food.
She obtained water from brook. Since
she has been found she has been rational
at times and has told the above remark
able story. She is in a very weak state.

ri<htln< His Fle.l.

General Furlong is gentleman of in
dependent means, who lives at the Fifth
Avenue hotel He is a large. heavy set
man, whose tendency is to get larger
and heavier set. All he has in the eworld
to do is to look pleasant-in which he
succeeds admirably to fight this
flesh. Most people thus unhappily stu
ated have some hobby to ride and al
ways go cantering off en- the slightest
provocation. Not so General Furlong.
His hobby is walking. He never rides
anything-not even his hobby.
Most people in easy financial circum-
stances would now and then try a Broad
way car if they didn't keep brougham
and pair, but he entertains prejudice
against everything on wheels. He walks.
Technically speaking, there are eight
.furlongs to the mile; in his case one Fur
long Will cover eight miles without
stretching. Sixteen to twenty miles a
day are as nothing to him.
There is a pleasant fiction about the
aristocratic Fifth avenue that when
General Furlong is out he has '.just
stepped down to the Astor House." If
ybody calls for him, '.Oh, he'll be back
soon-he is probably strolling around Ir-
vington somewhere or, HE went out
for short walk-he is by this time
either at the Battery or in Harlem .
/ Manhattan island is too small for General
Furlong. This talk of rapid transit
makes him tired.-New York Herald.

Too Late with His Objections.

A marriage ceremony at Roseburg
was interrupted in a sensational manner
few evenings ago. Charles Minkler, q
freight conductor at Woodburn, was the
groom, and Lottie Critzen, of Roseburg,
the bride. During the ceremony the Of
fciating minister asked if any one had
any reason why the ceremony should not
proceed.
A young dry goods clerk of Roseburg,
named Mannis, stepped forward, saying
he had serious objections. He said he
wanted to see and speak with the girl
privately. He was put out of the house
and pistol was found in his pocket. He
said he had always wanted to marry the
girl, but had never gathered courage to
tell her of his feelings.-San Francisco

power of attorney under which Thomas

does not invalidate Eldridge's titlc to the
