MARRIED THE WRONG WOMAN.
But 1t Was All Right When the Farmer

But 1t Was All Right When the Farmer
Found 1t Out.
A Sumter County (Ga.) farmer. having
accumulated some property. decided that
he wanted TO get married. He came to
Americas shortly afterward and made
known his desire to well-known mer-
chant The latter agreed to help him all be
could, ana named over several good-looking
women whom he thought would make good
and faithful wives. Among others he men,
toned two buXom and comely widows Of
the same name.
The matTimonially inclined farmer de-
cided that he wis he'd TO wed one of the
widows. His mercantile friend agreed to do
the negotiating and shortly afterward called
upon certain lady and informed her of
the honor his bashful friend wished to con-
fer upon her. The widow, knowing that
the farmer was blessed with pretty good
share of this world goods, expressed. with
out a moments hesitation, her willingness
to join her lot with Ills.
Preparations were at once made for the
wedding The day arrived and the pros
pectlye groom procured marriage license
and started for the home of the future
partner of his joys and sorrUws. Just here
the funny part of the affair came in.
The farmer had never seen either of the
two widows. Both bore the same name,
and he got them mixed up in his mind.
The result was that he went to the wrong
house. When he found himself alone with
the lady he blurted out. 1--WE come to
marry you"
After a moments hesitation the widow
confessed that she didn't care il she did
"step 1t of' with him, The accordingly
proceeded TO preachers house, where the
twain were made one.
A few days afterward the newly married
planter came to this city and went to look
for his friend. He was telling him of his
newly found happiness, when the merchant
suddenly exclaimed with groan:
"Merciful heaven, mani You married
the wrong widow"
"0h, that don't make any difference" was
the reply. I'm very well pleased with the
wife I've got"

"Your name must in very truth be put in

friends house there" said j. NJ. Dukes Of
the City OF Mexico at the Southern. with
ell their extravaganza in other ways, the
Mexicans are the emost economical people ON
earth in the matter OF their table accounts.
They buy just enough of everything for
each meal, and the purchase is based
on the number of people to eat. For in
stance, what would you think of the poor
est man 10 this country going into
grOeery-store and buying one cents worth
OF coffee. And yet you can see the servants
OF the richest families in Mexico 90 that
every day. 1t is the same way in buying
sugar, lard, flour, meat, spices and so on
through the list suppose the Mexicans
are forced to this apparently picayunish
method on account of the thieylng pfopen-
stiles of their servants. Thomas Benton

his horse and almost instantly expired.
A German named Sachheriner, who was
a short distance away, saw the man fall
from his saddle and also saw man leave
the spot from where the report of the gun
came, mount horse and ride swiftly away.
The man was small iB stature and is believed
tO be 3 Spaniard or Mexican who had
worked on the ranch and had been dis
charged by Leighey.
The Mexican had borrowed the horse and
rifle at a neigh boring ranch under the pre-
tense Of going TO hunt deer. About 10
o'clock on the night following he returned
the horse and gun TO the ranch where he
had borrowed them, and. taking horse of
his own, started across the country in an
easterly course toward the Mono Mills, and

busy night.

were sent to find the whistle and stop it.
They found very small boy with bundle
of papers on his arm sitting on the steps
just outside the door. He stopped whiStling
for a consideration Tommy apparently
supported himself by selling papers. He
was a newsb0y simply for effect, however,
and the big bundle Of papers under his arm
was frequently made up Of editions that
were several DAYS old.
Tommy would whistle one tune for
cents and three tunes for 10 cents. He gave
samples. which consisted of shrll blasts,
for nothing. When business was dull
Tommy would whistle for a cigarette, and
then wind up with, Say, boss, y gimme
de pitcher n I'll give nOnkaw." The en-
core, unless his audience specified other

could whistle it louder than any other tune.

three men found Tommy sound asleep on
the steps leading TO the elevated railroad
station at Park place 1t was nearly
o'clock and the boy was very wet. A big
pile OF unsold papers seemed TO tell his
story, and he was awakened and sent to
dying house with money enough for his
bed aud his breakfast in the morn

however. Some Que discovered that b is
bundle OF papers was several days Old. IL
was property" bundle that Tommy kept
for his act. He was small and ragged
enough to excite sympathy, and nearly every
Taiyn night found him apparently sleeping
peacefully on the steps Of the elevated sta

way that any one who felt so disposed could
put coin in il with safety IL the tender
hearted person happened TO turn around at
the head OF the stairs for another look at the
ragged little newsb0y he probably caught
him putting the money in his pocket and
then striking the sleeping pose again. Tom
my's scheme was So successful that several
rivals entered the field, and business was
getting very dull when Agent Barclay of
Mr. Gerry's society arrested him. The
Whistling Kid was taken 10 the Tombs po-
lice court and committed to the care of Mr.
Gerry's society.
