Romance in Ruskin,s Life.

A strange story has recently come
to light in the life of John Ruskin, the
great English writer, that illustrates
the utter unseltishness of the man.
Away back in early manhood he mar
ried poor young girl Of 10, with a
Their welded life was peaceful and
kindly, but, strangely enough, there
was not spark of real love between
them. One day Ruskin brought to his
home an artist, Millais by name, a tall
handsome fellow. who Immediately be-
came smitten with the charms of Rus
kin's wife. An intimacy sprang up be-
tween the two, which Ruskin noticed,
and he resolved that he should not
stand between the two lives, He pro-
cured divorce for his wife and not
long after stood beside them in one of
London's churches and saw them made
man and wife. Millais has since grown
rich and famous and his wife is lady,
but there is no more welcome guest at
their home than the man who crowned
their lives with happiness.

duction to shut down the miuos. Iron
ore lay piled all about and there was
no one to buy.
One by one the great iron mines Of
the Gcgebic range reeled up their
hoisting cables until not pit in the
whole range was working. Then tae
miners did not knew which way to
turn. Not one of them had penny
saved for such q day. Some of them
had cut wood from neighboring forests
and others had raised potatoes to eat
during the winter. But the majority
of these hardy men were left destitute
when the mine superintcndents an
nounced that the pits would not be
worked for an indefinite period.
1t is no eXaggeration to state that
1000 children on the Gogebic range
are to-day without food, clothing Or
forwarded by charitable people else
where. And these poor Creatures do
not belong to miners alone. For years
and years hundreds of men have been
chopping wood in the black forests to
the north and south for the big fur
naces at Hurley, Ironwood, Bessemer,
Saxon and Ashland. When the mines
shut down these woodmen were ordered
to stop work. and thus 500 or more
men were forced to return to their
homes and await the time when the
whistles and bells OF the shafts should
announce the opening of the pits. It
has been six months since the bowels
of the Gogebic range were whacked by
the picks of the men who now stand
round in the snow and biting winds
and wonder whether it's to be beets or
potatoes that the good wife is to cook

of resumption the Comptroller says:
with full knowledge Of the general
solvency of the institutions and the
causes which brought about their sus-
pension, the policy was inaugurated Of
giving all banks which under ordinary
circum stances would not have closed,
and whose management had been hon.
est, an opportunity to resume business.
This policy was one which seemed to
commend itself to the Comptroller as
proper to pursue under the circum-

have justified the experiment of its
adoption.
