On Wednesday evening, Feb. 13. at
1880 at the home of the brides about
two miles north of Rockville, by Rev.
p. II. Mason, William j. Richardson
was united in marriage to Miss Mary
j. Ellis. The invited guests were the
members of the two families and a
very few near friends. After the
ceremony, the company sat down to
an elegant supper. There We're pres
ents Of some silverware and beauti-
full bedroom set Mrs. Richardson
will remain at home. but Mr.. Richard
son will not; they will establish them
selves on the Ellis homestead and
carry on the farm. William is the
son of prosperous farmer and his
sexcellent training has prepared him
for his vocation and if Mary had a
hand in the supper that was prepared,
land she probably did haye). then She
understands thoroughly her part of
the work. They are prepared to sue
coed and they have purpose to sue
coed and we venture to predict that
they will succeed. We hope that they
may cultivate character with as much
success as they cultivate the soil.

The new furnaces of the Congl-
church are in and the newregister is
opened in the rear OF the audience
room. On a cold morning the register
in the social room can be closed and
all the heat from that furnace turned
into the audience room. With the
heat thus from both the furnaces the
room can be quickly and thoroughly
heated.

Bounk By Mighty Oath TO XIII Her Ras-
cally Father.


cally Father.
There seems to be colony OF one legged
people-men and boys and girls--in Chi
cago just now.
OF late this crippled brigade has boon
augmented by several one legged girls.
They are begging, on one crutch, In vari'
Gus sections of the city.
The one seen on Wabash avenue and
jackson street recently is n newcomer and
interesting. She Is l3 years old and has
her left leg and u crutch to get about on.
She has that look In her face which sonti-
mentalists call the poetry of Italy. She Is
italian, and she. speaks that language only.
She is a flower girl. In her hand she car
ries punches Of lilacs-the flower of tho
day - and sometimes carnations. She
wears broad brim hat, and twined about
the crown Is a wreath of artificial forget
menots. Although she speaks no Eng
lish she knows American coin and can
make small change.
An Italian fruit vender on near corner
who can talk a little English was asked to
interview her. IL she didn't lie to him,
and II he didn't lie to the writer this one
legged girls story Is of interest. Her ia
she was about years old. He promised
to send for his wife and child within two
years He has never been heard Of since.
The mother, unable to come to this coun-
try, sent this child, who, according to the
fruit vender, came under terrible oath.
She Is looking for her father, Pietro Ro-
NELL. She reached New York. and for
quite awhile she remained there selling
hay bar Ia ~
over she secured the Italian quarter night
after night in search of her father. One
night she was run down by an engine, and
her right leg was mangled She was taken
to the hospital. The leg was amputated.
No one seemed to know her or care for her,
and she was booked to die. No one cared
to ask her whence she came, and she did
not tell anything. She recovered. Her
mother sent her some money and told her
to keep up her search.
She went to Chicago two months ago
and lives with an Italian colony in South
Clark street. Her mother sends her a lit
tie money every six weeks. 1t Is not sent
to her, but to an official, who gives it to
her as he thinks she needs it, She stands
where she does on account of the traffic of
the Illinois Central road. With one hand
she supports her crutch; with the other
hand she offers the clusters of flowers. Her
attire is cheap Of course, but it fits, for a
wonder. She has few communications,
preferring, apparently, to be alone.
The old fruit vender says the girl Is re-
ligious. He means that she goes to church
Sunday, and in the evening she saunters
about, looking intently on the faces Of her
countrymen.
The old vender who had acted as trans
lator said rather dramatically that some
time this girl would find her father, and
that her oath would compel her to kill
him, and then she would go back to Italy
He could not understand why, In case Of
such murder, she should not be allowed
to return to Palermo and live with her
