divorce.

with more money than brains, and they
lived together only few months and then
separated.
Meredith O'Bricn stood sixth on the
list, and during the reign of o Brien there
was constant trouble over the name. My
sister did not like the strong Irish flavor
and used to call herself Mrs. Brin. That
finally led to separation.
"She then married DIR Valentine Mott,
who was one of the leading physicians of
San Francisco in his day. When my sister
and ho were married, they went to New
and died there. Marie got rid of her wild
ow's weeds and married n man of the
name of Cross. They started for Valparaiso
on their honeymoon. She and her hus-
band had some trouble on the vessel, and
when they got to Valparaiso he left her
and disappeared in tho interior. This did
not worry my sister much, for she got the

The Fun That Adam Missed.

The Fun That Adam Missed.
That Adam was a lonely man
I'm ready TO believe,
Although his many days were blest
With natures fairest Eve.
BY maiden aunts and cousins fair
The man was never kissed,
And thus often think about
The fun that Adam missed.
1t seems TO me his life was like
An oft repeated dream.
He never treated girls and paid l.s
Three dollars for.iescTsam;'
ne never, Wien little boy,
!. texsrownup girls was kissed,
And when he died he never knew
The fun that he had missed.
He never went security
And bad tho note to pay;
He never saw his banks cashier
Steal gracefully away.
In all his life he never by
A mother-ln-law was kissed
But why go on and 'numerate
The fun that Adam missed2
Perhaps II he was living now
But, then, why speculate2
He'd be too old and not inclined
To play with fckle fate.
For centuries tho wanton winds
His unknown grave have kissed.
Perhaps he sleeps the better for
The fun that he has missed.

In 1876 William Cawlins, y:r-
ginian, met Nellie T. Pell. South
Carolina girl. at the exposition in
Philadelphia He fell in love with
her and proposed marriage. She said
him nay at first, but finally consented,
after telling the young man that she
had previously been engaged to man
named John NJ. Shafer, that he had
gone West year or two before and
she feared he was dead. She could
never love another man as she had
Shafer. but II Cawlins was willing to
marry her. knowing the circum-
stances. she would be his wife. Caw-
Inns accepted the situation and they
were welded forthwith. Within a
year they removed to Dakota and
took up prairie claim. Their life
together was happy one for two or
three years. One day as Cawlins was
breaking sod, his plow turned up parts
of skeleton. Cawlins gathered all
the bones together and reinterred
them so deep that the plowshare would
never again disturb Them On one of
the finger bones was n ring. which he
slipped on his finger. At dinner his
wife noticed the ring and he handed

IT is strange what airs some of the
pettiest officers Of the law put on,
and especially if they are judges.
The action of Judge Barbour of the
police court of Hartford, Ct, is a
good illustration of this. He insists
that the court is in session so long as
he is in the room, and that all hats
must be kept off until he takes
his leave. A day laborer went into
the court room to see how judicial
matters were arranged. When the
mornings business was concluded and
all started for the door, he CHANGED
to put his hat on just before he
passed outside the room. Instantly
Judge Barbour ordered the man be,

sentenced him to five days imprison.

The death of Sir Samuel White
Baker removes almost the last Of the
great African explorers and one of
the greatest Of them. He was the
Comrade Of Spoke and Grant, and the
predecessor of Gordon in the Egyp-
tlan Soudan. He will be remembered
as the explorer of the Blue and White
Niles, the discoverer of Albert Lake,
and the leader Of vigorous move
ment for the suppression Of the slave
trade. Gordon and Emin continued
his civllizing work, while Stanley
and Others have well-nigh completed
the task Of exploration and have re-
vealed to the world what he vainly
sought-the long-hidden sources Of
the Nile. When Baker began his
work in Africa that continent was
largely UNEMPLOYED and unknown,
and civilized powers had only a little
foothold here and there upon its
borders, Now, at his death, scarcely
a mile remains untraVersed by ex-
plorers, and onlya few small districts
here and there are left unclaimed by
the land grabbing powers Of Europe.
And to this great end few have con-
tributed so much as he.
