STRANGER THAN FICTION.

A story which began over thirty
years ago, and which dates back to
the late war, has Just had strange
sequal in two states-Kentucky and
Texas.
When the war opened DIR. W. II.
Richardson, ct Kentucky, left Bland
vile, in that state and went to Tex
as, where he married.
Soon after the wedding he LETT his
bride to join the confederate army.
In attempting some speculation, he
was reduced to the ranks and be-
coming dissatisfied, left and went to
Mexico.
There, in the year 1867, he heard
that his wife was dead. But he re-
manned in Mexico until the present
year. Then he resolved to return
to Kentucky.
He arrived in his native county
and while tracing up land claim,
found it necessary to write to his
wife's relatives In the Lone Star
State.
This correspondence had sur
prise in store for him. His wife was
found to believing. She had waited
twelve years, and then had taken
another husband.
The doctor was single and, re-
joiced to hear that his wife still
lived, he wrote to ask il she had lost
her love for him.
She replied that she still loved
him, and that il he said the word
she would give her second husband
his walking papers.
The doctor was willing and, true
to her word, the woman told hus-
band No. 2 that he must go.
He acted on her advice, and last
week Richardson went to Texas, and
twas reunited to the wife OF his
youth" after a separation covering
period of thirty-two years.

nothing to the parish. In fact, there
are thousands and tens of thousands

without VOWS, what the predecessor
of the thirteenth century attempted
with the help of vows-viz, organ

He works upon the lowest and
most unpromising material that the
world can show. They are lads far
below the reach of polytechrics. He
attracts them somehow by personal
magnetism, by force of character, by
skill in the things that all lads ad
mire. He dominates them. He is per

is layman who works in an Office

Mahan on Rattleships.

Captain Mahan was asked some
questions by an Englishman about
the battleship of the future, and this
was his answer: Military superior
ity in warfare depends upon heavy
blows struck at the enemy's organ
lied fighting force. Such blows must
be struck by massed forces, the units
of which should be under the unity
of command essential to success. The
same aggregate of force in two or
three different vessels will rarely be
equal to that concentrated in one, be-
cause of the difficulty of insuring mu-
tual support. This means heavy YES
sells or battleships Of course, like
all other statements, this means limi-
tation. The size of vessels is condi-
toned not only by construction con
siderations, but by the fact that you
need to scatter at times as well as
concentrate. This involves the neces
sity of dividing your force into sew
eral vessels, because ship once built
cannot be divided. Between the two
horns of the dilemma you must strike
a mean, but always battleship."

Death Of Mrs. p. Craig.

Mrs. P. Craig, who has been sick at her
residence in this city for the past seven
weeks, died this morning about $3.50 o'clock.
She was aged about IS years. and has been
a resident of The Dalles since 1852. For
MANY years Mrs. Craig has heen feeble. and
was finally coGfiued to her bed. with ap.
parently nothing ailing her except weakness
from old age. The lamp of life had burned
low, and when death came it was simply q
putting out the light from the natural ex-
haustlon of the forces that sustained life.
Mrs. Craig was very estimable lady, and,
during her long residence in The Dalles was
known to eveiy one for her many charitable
acts. Wherever there was suffering or
sickness, and when possible to render aid,
Mrs. Craig was always among the first to
proffer assistance. She leaves one daughter,
Miss Katie Cralg, and three sons, Hon. Il.
Monroe, of Lewiston, Idaho. and Charles
and Frank Craig of this city.
After the above was written we ascer-
taiued the following data: Miss Ann Eliza
beth Bulger was born in st. Johns. New
Foundland, Feb..6 1920, ana was first mar
ried to Mr.. James Monroe, who vas killed
In 1889 in the Seminole Indian war in
Florida. She was afterwards married to
Mr.. Polhemus Craig, and arrived at The
Dalles in September, 1852. Her husband
was hospital steward in the, Mexican war,
and Mrs. Craig served as matron of the hos
pital IN the Florida and Mexican wars. Mr..
Craig died in this city IL years ago, on the
same day of the month as his widows de:
cease took place. Mrs. Craig was the
mother of seven boys and one girl-R. J.
Monroe, William Edward, Josep Henry,
George Augustin. Charles. Katie Alice and
Frank Polhemus Craig, and four OF these
are still living.

The Old Liberty Bell.

The old liberty bell now rests in a
handsome new case in the east room
of Independence hall, Philadelphia.
The case is made of selected quar-
tered white oak, is feet 10 inches
square and 10 feet high. On each of
the four sides is large plate glass
over 4 feet wide and z feet high in
the center. At each corner is a
bronzed pillar surmounted by neat
carved work, while over each of the
glass sides is an arch with the names
of the 13 original states carved, that
of Pennsylvania being on the key
stone. Facing the doorway, leading
down from the top, is a carved model
of "Old Abe" the famous war eagle,
the wings measuring "a inches from
tip to tip.
Beneath, on the top part of the
case, is the inscription copied from
the bell, Proclaim liberty through
out all the world to all the inhabitants
thereof" On each corner of the top
is a polished bronze torch. The bell
is suspended within the case from
the marred old yoke on which it hung
when it made its historic peal. The
yoke itself was made from tree just
back of the hall. This is supported
by columns of bronze, and its col,
umns rest on a truck, which fits
snugly inside the case, and appears
to be simply floor. Beneath are four
rubber tired wheels, which will per-
NIT a quick removal in case of fire.
The new case complete cost 81, 500.-

The Attempt Failed.

We were informed to-day that Mr.. Nc
Neil, OF the o. X. & N. Co., arrived IN the
city last Wednesday to close the bargain in
the purchase of the boats of the d. P. & A.
N Co., but those stockholders desirous OF
selling out to the company, could not make
the sale because they could not turn over a
majority OF the shares of stock. A promi
nent citizen, who owns considerable stock,
was unwilling to join with the others in
this subtle transaction, because, as our in
formant states, he did not consider it right
to place owners of smaller number Of
shares in the hands of the railroad COM
pany, without their knowledge or consent.
We shall ascertain the bottom facts, if pos
sible, in this attempted transaction with the
o. K. & N. Co., and PUBLISH them. This
transportation company was formed by the
people for the purpose of regulating freight
rates between The Dalles and Portland,
and, If the facts are as reported, it Is
hagrant breach of faith on the part of men
who should have the best interest of this
region in their keeping, and which merits
the lasting condemnation of the. community.

LONDON POLICEMEN.
They Cost the English Metropolis Ten NJ,
lions Year For Their Services.

They Cost the English Metropolis Ten MIL
lions Year For Their Services.
1t costs close upon SO, 900, 900 a
year to police London. There are in
the metropolitan police force 10, 040
men of all ranks, and their pay, cloth
ing and equipment alone cost the
taxpayers of the big city FL, ,34S, $50
year. Then there is the pay Of the
commissioners, doctors, clerical staff
and workmen generally, the mainte-
nance of stations and offices and the
thousand and one miscellaneous items
of cost in the operation of the de-
partment, which brings the total cost
of the machinery for guarding the
peace of the British metropolis few
pounds short of e2, 900, OO0.a year.
There are II, 5S5 ordinary police
men ON the force They are called
''constables," there being only one
grade below that of sergeant. The
pay of a constable varies between "a
shillings a week, the pay of new re-
cruit, and eSS 12s. lid. a year, the
maximum pay of an ordinary con-
stable There were last year 1,099
men on the London police force re-
ceiving "a shillings week, which is
scarce ST American money, although
the mere comparison of money value
is, of course, no criterion of the ade
quacy of the pay for the police.
Clothing is supplied to the constables
free, OF if, from any reason of special
duty, the constable does not draw his
supply of clothes from the govern
ment stores he receives f5 year IN
place of the clothing.
The matter of allowance is an i'm
portant one in the remuneration re-
ceived by every member of the force.
Constables, for instance, receive an
allowance of coal money when they
are not living in the stations. Mar
ried men get fourpence week and
single men threepence halfpenny a
week. Married men living in sta
tions receive 40 pounds of coal a
week the year round, single men 40
pounds a week in winter and 90
pounds in summer. This item of coal
allowance amounted to e14, $50 last
year.
The London policeman has by no
means so good a job as far as remu-
neration is concerned as has the New
York policeman, making all allow
ance for the difference in compara-
tive values there and here. Nor has
he nearly so fine place in COM
parison with the lot of the average
Londoner as the New York police
man has compared with that of the
average New Yorker Indeed tie
London policeman is poorly paid,
even as pay goes in England.-New
York Sun.

Der OF little boys in Alblna have recently

THEY ARE EASILY HoAxED.
Story of Chicago Race Track Credited
Our English Cousins.

Story of Chicago Race Track Credited by
Our English Cousins.
1t seems to be an easy matter to
hoax our English cousins, for they
accepted in good faith this yarn
about a race alleged to have been
run at Chicago:
There had been a false start, ow-
ing to mistake made by the man
with the advance flag, and in spite
of the growlings of those who had
backed black horse that was es-
teemed good thing, "and, unlike SO
many good things of which we have
had constant experience, won in a
canter by any number of lengths,
the horses returned to the post. The
starter, much put out of course at
the catastrophe, took his place and
prepared for business.
while he was standing there, !"
the story goes on to relate. "a black
boy, who was so handicapped by
lack of height that it was impossible
for him to see the race, spied place
of vantage between the widespread
legs of the starter He crept up and
soon was snugly fixed in his place.
The starter happened to glance down
and saw the black face peering into
Space.
'Begone, you impr he cried, and
at the same time hit at the woolly
pate with his flagstick The advance
fagman was keen and watchful. He
did not see the negro, but he was
conscious that the starters flag had
dipped Down went his own again,
and once more the field swept
away Once more all was confusion,
and once again the black horse
walked home first.
Things were getting serious now.
Hands stealthily sought hip pockets,
and when they emerged they had
well loaded six shooters firmly
grasped within them. 1t did not
make any difference to the crowd
whether the starters flag had fallen
or not. The black horse had won
the race twice, and if there was to
be any more running they would at
tend to the starting themselves. In
this emergency the starters were
sent to the paddock for 20 minutes
rest, and while they were there the
race was declared of. New York
Herald.
