A Bible Injunction Which Has Been
Observed in Many Cases.

The palm for multiple child bearing is
awarded by the st. Louis Republic to
Mrs. Ellsworth Miller, of Cold Springs,
n. Y, who has been married less than
ten years, but who, within that short
space of time, has become the mother Of
seventeen children. The last addition
to this was a set of triplets, born on
March 18th of this year. Mrs. Miller
was married on October 10, 1888, and
since that time has given birth TO this
numerous family, which are divided as
follows: Three sets of triplets, nine;
three sets OF twins, six; and two singles,
two. Mrs. Miller is not yet thirty-one
years of age. In searching the annals of
the world for material that will attest
the appropriateness and peculiar fitness
OF the above title, it is found that Nine.
de la Riva, of Florence, Italy gave birth
to eight children on September ., 1907.
Nine. Frescebaldi, another Florentine
lady, who died in 1870, was the mother
of fifty.two children, no fewer than three
being born at any one time, four and
five at single birth being nothing unus-
ual with the madame, and at one time
six. In Aubrey's Natural History of
Wiltshire" (England) there is an account
of the Bonham family, Thomas and
Edith. Filth had twins and triplets on
numerous occasions, and finally aston
ished all Wiltshire by given birth to
seven children at one time. "There is a
tradition, TO quote from Aubery, (which
is recorded in the parish register, that all
the seven children were brought togeth-
err to the fount OF the church and there
baptized" The Gentlemans Magazine
for March II, 1898, is authority for the
statement that the wife OF Pierre Duis-

Keeping a Wife Young.

A woman never grows 30 old that she
ceases to enjoy the company of others,

more she enjoys it. 1t is almost a pity
to see man fall into state which he
explains by saying "Oh, we are get
ting old and don't care for so much vari-
ETY. In our lives" In the pure unselfsh-
ness OF his soul he always speaks OF "us"
and "we," as il it naturally follows that
because he is getting Anticipated his wife
must keep pace with, him in his decline.
Men all too often make their wives too
old It is greater credit to husband
to keep his wife young than to make her
grow old. His actions and his habits
necessarily influence those of his wife.
Let him keep in touch with the world,
and both he and his wife will be the bet
ter and younger for it. like to see a
man proud OF his wife because she keeps
young.

ANOTHER SUICIDE.
MRS. WILLIAM DANSER, OF NEAR ELM
GROVE
Hanged Herself Sunday Morning to An Apple Tree
With Rope Taken From Her Sons
Sled-Cause Mental alteration.

Ever since the suicide of Friday
morning and the attempt on the night
of that day, officials and newspaper men
have been looking for the third case.
They heard of it yesterday, when the
news came in from Elm Grove that Mrs.
William Danser had taken her life near
that place Sunday morning, by hanging
herself from the limb of an apple tree.
The body was discovered by Mr..
Danser, who missed his wife from bed
about O'Clock, and at once instituted
a search for her, fearing that she might
be bent on self destruction.
The family removed to Elm Grove
from Warrington, nearly a year ago,
taking the premises on the right side OF
the pike going east, about half mile
from Elm Grove, formerly occupied by
Rev. Lafferty Greer. Mrs. Danser was
a cousin of Mrs. Lunsiord, her maiden
name having been Elliott, and she
has an uncle, Hiram Elliott,
living not far from Haneytown, and
other relatives in Marshall county. For
some time past she had not been In
good health, and was also the victim OF
attacks of mental alteration, but her
mental condition was not looked upon
as serious, although her husband kept
a close watch upon her, and had lost
much sleep in consequence, OF late. On
Saturday Mrs. Danser was about the
house as usual. and during the day call
ed at Mr.. Thornburg's, just across the
pike from her home. At three o'clock
Sunday morning. Mr.. Danser was
awake, and his wife was then in
bed. He talked a little to her,
and then went to sleep again. About
o'clock, or a little after that hour, he
again woke up, and missed his wife.
He at once got up and instituted
search. He found she was not In the
house, and then made q tour OF the
DremieeS. Near the stable he found
the lifeless body OF his wife hanging
from the limb of an apple tree. When
she got up, Mrs. Danser had slipped on
the same dress she had worn Saturday
over her night dress, and going out OF
doors had taken piece Of rope
from. a sled belonging to one of
her two sons. With this she went to
the tree, and standing Oh box, made
moose about her throat, adjusted the
other end to the limb, and stepped off
the box, dying OF strangulation.
Macy people in Elm Grove did not
hear of the suicide until late Sunday,
and few did not known Of it until yes
terday. The Coroner was not notified,
which largely accounts for the fact not
being known in Wheeling until yester-
day.

Our Brick Payments.

To hs E.htOr or the Rs0ts,ef'
SlR:-The communication in your
Sundays issue, signed Taxpayer, "
is certainly in the right direction for
city reform. Thousands Of dollars could
be saved annually by the City Council
passing an ordinance compelling the
owners Of vehicles to use broader tires
ON their wagons. There are merchants
i'm this city who haul on their wagons
from the depot TO their store full car
load of flour. Is this not enough TO
ruin our brick streets? They should not
be permitted TO do so, unless they use
not less than Seven-inch tire. Our
brick streets by using wider tires, say
from four 10 seven inches or more,
would last not less than twenty or
twenty-five years. BY continuing the
present system OF narrow tires, eight
or nine years will see their end.
Look at some OF our street which have
only been down a few years. They are
now beginning to show the traces of
destruction from the narrow tires with
heavy loads. If l understand rightly
four years ago the Board Of Public
Works, Of this city, recommended TO
Council to pass an ordinance regulating
the width of tires from four 10 seven
inches or more, but the recommends
ton was defeated by some OF our mer-
chants. Why is it that they should be
averse TO changing their tires on their
wagons. They should be the first
ones TO fall into line and request COun-
ell 10 pass an ordinance regulating the
width OF tires They are the very ones
who use our streets the most and should
endeavor TO protect them. Under the
present system it will only be few
years until they will be worn out, and
then they will be compelled to use the
old streets, as the taxpayers cannot
afford 20 have new streets put down
every few years for their benefit.

if company is chartered, TO take 5000
