practically had two wives, he met Miss
Fuller, who was younger and prettier than
she is today, but not so famous. She had
been unlucky, and Hayes came along with
a big roll OF greenbacks just at the right
time. She did not know that he was mar
ricd. He took her to Europe and spent
his money to crafty her whims, which
were many. Gossip was busy, and finally,
Miss Fuller says, to save her reputation,
she consented to marry him ON their re-
turn to New York city.
The marriage was secret, and Miss Full
Ter did not change her name. She returned
to London, and Hayes spent pile OF
money to boom her business. At the same
time he wrote long letters to his wife and
Miss Heating, who were living together in
New York, and when he returned without
Miss Fuller he sent her loving letters,
with millions Of kisses and such things.
Notwithstanding his letters, however, he
spoke cruelty of the dancer, and at last she
accused him of bigamy and caused his ar
rest. Then he described some wonderful
photographs in which Miss Fuller figured.
The bigamy case never came to trial.
IL is commented upon as being very
strange that Senator Cantor used all his
influence to secure the pardon of Hayes,
and that Miss Fuller also did what she
could to help him out of his trouble be-
cause Of her sympathy for his wife.
Miss Fuller is now in Europe and has
been there for nearly year since her last
visit to this country. She is more popular
in France as dancer than she has evei
been here, and of late she has been max
ing a highly successful tour in Holland
and Belgium. She gave the serpentine
dance before the royal family of Holland
and appeared at the Antwerp exposition
before an immense audience, which in
cluded the diplomatic representatives Of
numerous governments and many othel
prominent persons. Miss Fuller has lone
been extremely popular in Paris, wher,
she Is known as LA Loie" and WHERE

Goldie asks if a young man can sue a
young woman for breach of promise If
while engaged to him she marries an
other man. Answer: There are great
many foolish young people in the world,
Goldie, who seem to think that they
can in some way by money compensa-
ton make up for unhappiness, sleepless
nights, tears and heartache. Unless
there has been some actual wrong,
breach of promise suits are a very poor
investment They generally end in a
good deal of scandal and have most I'M
pleasant consequences. If no real wrong
has been sustained, the court would
likely award about cent damages, and
there would be heavy costs and all parties
made ridiculous. Such suits are best let
alone Legally a man can sue for breach
of promise as well as woman, but he
appears very ridiculous when he does
so.-New York Ledger.

John W. Leigh, retired naval officer.
Partly by courtesy and partly by
chance was ON the Thunderer at the
siege of Alexandria some years ago
Two sets Of advice were given me as to
how to act when the big guns were fired.
Old experienced seamen can stand the
shock by raising ON their toes the mo-
ment the word is given to fire. The ma
jority of people, however, find it neces-
sary in order to preserve their ear drums
from perforation to lie down, resting
most of the weight ON their hands and
toes. Even with this precaution the SEN
sation is most unpleasant until one gets
used to it. Even with the comparative
ly small guns in general use in our navy
the conclusion ON board a ship when a
shot is fired is very annoying, but the
enormous guns used SO generally in Eu-
ropean navies are source of terrible
danger to the crew as well as the
enemy, and doubt If they could posi-
bly, be used in a hand to hand encoun-

made here by one manufacturer rs part

The sale of OK carts in this country Is
decreasing. Here the use OF them has
always In largo measure been confined
to the rough and billy farms of tho New

The younger men buy not oxen. but
horses, not OK carts, bat wagons and
horse carts. How much Of this change
Is due to tho fnct that the stony, billy
lands are now pretty well cleared and
that oxen are less needed for piowing,
how much is due TO the spirit of the
age with it's quicker movement in all
the fields Of labor, how much to great
er inclination toward luxury. IL might
be difficult TO say. but the OK cart is
passing away 1t is still used. however,
10 some extent lt may be met perhaps
in the haying field, perhaps under the
spreading elms at the village black
smiths shop. The cart met amid such
surroundings is quito as likely to have
been made in the city as in the country,
for they are all substantially alike.
The only important changes that have
been made In OK carts in mSny years
have been the substitution of iron for
wooden axlcs and the broadening Of the
face Of the wheel. All OK carts are now
built with iron axlos and 4 inch tires.
New York city built OK carts are sold
in western Connecticut in western
Massachusetts and in New York, and
occasionally in remoter parts of this
country. There is n steady demand for
them from the planters Of the West In
