A San Francisco Girl Married to q Man
She Did Not Love.

4 San Francisco Girl Married to q Man
She Did Not Love.
A complaint filed with the county
clerk in San Francisco furnishes evil
dence that some men have peculiar no
tions as to what constitutes a joke. In
this cas the funny man stands an ex-
cellent chance of being soundly casti-
gated by some male relative of his vic
tim, who is a young lady whom the
jokist tricked into a marriage. Miss
Inez Mercer, a young New York girl,
was travelling through Oregon n May
last with her parents. The journey
was of the dawdling variety, the tour
lists having means and time at their dis
posal, and a rather lengthy stay vas
made at Portland. There Miss MERGERS
talent az an amateur actress became
known and some society people nduced
the young New Yorker to take part IN
a play which was to be performed IN
aid of charity. The affair was placed
in the hands Of one r. B. Westcott, VINO
had experience in some matters, n
during rehearsals which preceded the
performance it was noticed by otner
members of the company that he pald
a great deal of attention to Miss Mer-
Ger. The young lady neither encour-
aged nor repealed, feeling no interest
Whichever in the man. After the stand
ard play, which formed the greater part
Of the evenings entertainment, had
been performed the performance con-
cluded with a farce, which was eSpe-
cially written and produced for the &C.
casion by Westcott. In that farce a
marriage ceremony was to take place
between the hero and heroine, played
by Westcott and Miss Mercer, respec-
lively. So, under the impression that
the whole affair was purely farcical, MISS
Mercer went through the marriage cere-
mony on the stage with Westcott. This
occurred on May "a last and on Sept.
Is Miss Mercer learned for the first
time that it was no farce, but a genu-
inc, binding ceremony that took place
between herself and Westcott. The lat
ter had a marriage license in his inside
pocket and the nuptial knot was tied
by no amateur actor, but by a real live
clergyman engaged for the purpose. On
learning the facts in the case Miss Mer-
GERS parents at onc took steps to annul
the marriage, the first step being the
filing of complaint with the county
clerk at San francisco, where Westcott
at present resides. The latter affects
still to regard the whole affair as a joke
and says he will interpose no objection
to the annulment. Miss MERGERS broth
er, an athlete of some renown in his
circle, says little about the affair be-
yond expressing a deep conviction that
should he ever meet Mr.. Westcott the
latter will be likely to hear and feel
something to his disadvantage.

Co. of De Kalb, Ill, doubled the ca
pacity for producing their lines over

DIGESTION AND WORK.
How Sick People May Save Their Energy.

II is as hard work for some people 10 digest
their dinner as it is for a normal man to walk
ten miles.
"After dinner rest while" This is an old
saying. 1t means that il after eating heavy
meal you try to do hard work you will ex-
haust all your energy. There will be none
left for your stomach. Your stomach needs
energy to work just as your leg or arm does.
Sick people want energy. They seldom have
enough for their stomach. Their digestion is
out of order and they went to know the rea-
son. It's simple enough as we have told it.
What they ought to do is to save their
stomachs from hard work until it is capable
Of doing it, Just as they rtst their tired backs
by lying down.
This they can DO by using artiicially oi-
gested food. Shaker Digestive Cordial con-
tains such food; not only this, but it is capa
BILE OF digesting other foods in the stomach.
Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nouTish-
ment and creates new energy as soon as il Is
swallowed. Ordinary food first has TO be di-
GO sted. Shaker Digestive Cordial while crea-
ting new energy does not expend any 1t
gives the stomach no work to do. 1t Will

ally thin. Getting thin is a sign OF sickness

FOR VARIOUS OCCASIONS.
Concerning Cards, Calls, Invitations, Wed
dings and Other Happenings.

Cards should never be sent by mail in
return for visit if it can possibly be
avoided, for this is the least compliment
tary manner of acknowledging call.
Cards in response to an invitation may 10
sent through the mail if the invitation has
been received in that way. A member of
the family or the footman, butler or maid
should leave cards when it is impossible
for the lady of the house to return n call.
When cards are delivered by a servant, he
should say, "For Mrs. Blank" and the
mailman repeat, "For Mrs. Blank, " in re-
ceiving them, SO there can be no mistake.
The answer to an invitation should al
ways be addressed to the person who sends
it. If Mrs. b. invites you to be present at
the marriage of her daughter, send your
acceptance or regrets to Mrs. b. If an in
vitation comes to you from both mother
and daughter, it is best to address your
answer to the mother. If, however, Mr..
and Mrs. b. invite you to be present at
the marriage of their daughter, address
your acknowledgment to Mr.. and Mrs. B.
After accepting an invitation to a dance
or a dinner it would be very improper to
send card By mail or the messenger serv-
ice or even by ones servant. If We have
been entertained, the least we can do is to
take trouble enough to call afterward.
This civility nobody can omit. 1t is not
necessary, however, TO call after 3 o'c clock
tea or in acknowledgment of an invitation
to church wedding when there has been
no invitation to the following reception.
In speaking to a father or mother child
should say, Eyes, mamma" or ono,
father" and not use the words 'ma am"
or "sir." In speaking to a stranger it
should say, Eyes Mr.. Smith," or II
don't think so, Mrs. Smith"
A gentleman leaves his overcoat, hat
and stick in the hall when making an
evening call. When calling in the after
noon he leaves his overcoat in the hall,
but carries his hat and stick into the draw
ing room with him.
Grapes. when served at the table. should
be eaten behind the partially closed hand,
the stones and skin falling into the fingers
unobserved and then on to the plate.
When a wedding invitation has an Eat
home card inclosed, you should either
call personally on the day named or send
your visiting card by post.
At IL home wedding the bride and groom
stand facing the Clergyman, who faces the

HOW TO PUBLISH A SONG.
II You Have . Reputation, You Get Paid
Otherwise You stand the Expense.

sIn publishing a song It's success ue-
pends n great deal on the reputation OF the
composer and the title OF his compost
tom said Louis Berge, the composer.
There is magic in a name, with all due
arolooics 10 Shakespeare, and even II
song amounts TO nothing reputation can
% 10 make il a financial if not an artistic
success
40 publishers pay for coed piece of
new lnusic:'' asked.
VERY rarely, and then only If the COM
poser is a man or womas well known. In
such cases from 800 tgs5e0 are paid for
sop1 and the composer gets 10 per cent Of
the royalties.
"Do publishers take songs by unknown
writers if tie latter pay for the expense Of
printing etc."
Certainly. That is done every day in
the week II the song is not success, the
publishers lose nothing, and the composer
has had some experience for his money"
~ understand that many composers of
SONGS cannot read a note of music. Is that
so:''
Eyes" replied Mr.. Berge, some of the
most popular songs We're written by men
with no knowledge of composition. It is
not absolutely necessary to be musician
in order to write Il song. If you have tai
ent enough to conceive a melody and can't
write it down according to the rules of
harmony, all you have to do is to go to
one of the many musicians in this city
who earn money by writing scores. You
whistle or hum your tune to him, and he
puts it in writing, ready for the publish
en-"
"How do you push song in order to
make it popular, if there is any popularity
in it,"
"Well, before we put the song on sale
we distribute nearly a thousand copies OF
it among singers and orchestra leaders.
These people, you know, are always on
the lookout for something new. If they
find the melody good and catchy. they sing
or play it to their audiences. The success
of the song then lies with the public
"What is the cost Of publishing song?'
"a song with three or four sheets of
music and an Illuminated cover costs from
SIS to $50. So you see, a composer does
not really risk much if his composition is
q failure, and if it proves success, he is
apt to make fortune. New York Her

MORE DETAILS
OF the Recon. Disturbances at Caesarea
and at Harpoot.

London Dec "A representative Of
the United Press in Constantinople, tele
graphs under date OF Dec. /. that the off
cial REPORTS of the disturbances in Caesarea
on the goth ultimo, state that the disorder
was due to two Armenians discharging
guns in the market place Some persons

The Armenian school was burned and
then began the attack upon the Christian
quarter. The buildings which were set
on fire, the Christians were in without
weapons of any sort, but trusted entirely to
the government to protect them.
The Americans remained in the Girls
seminary until that building was set on

of soldiers, all but two of whom afterward
