Miss Wizards Romance.

The recent rumor regarding the en-
gagemeut of Miss Frances +. Willard,
president OF the National Woman S
Christian Temperance union, to IN
elderly English ge-tlcman of nRnns,
who uses large part Of his annual in
come in the furthering of reform move
ments, has recalled to the minds of
many Of Miss Wizards friends in this
country the romance of her early wom-
anhood.
Miss Willard's devotion to the tent
peranco cause is by no means coeval
with the great crusade of the early sew
enties, whose outcome was the organi-
cation Of hundreds of women's Chris
tian temperance unions. Miss Wizards
parents were among the pioneers of the
great northwest and brought up their
daughter with very strict, not to say
narrow, views as to the use Of liquor
and tobacco. Miss willard prepared her
self FOR teaching, and while pursuing
her studies met a young man who was
studying for the ministry and who gave
promise OF attaining great prominence
in his chosen calling. Their common
love of study attracted them to each
other, and the young man felt that i'll
Miss Willard he had found the ono wo.
man who, as his wife, would help him
upward and would gracefully share the
honors of the lofty position at which he
was aiming. Nor was Miss Wizards
heart untouched. and the young mans
matrimonial hopes might have been
realized but for her discovery that he
was addicted to the use of tobacco. She
very promptly told him no could choose
between tobacco and herself, and to all
his pleadings opposed the one cry:
"If you love tobacco more than you
do me, find some other woman who will
tolerate such habit"
At length he ceased TO urge her, and
they went their separate ways, she to
remain single and become president Of
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union and one of the best par
lamentarians in the United States. and
no to marry some one else and become
