Mrs. Robert LOUIS Stevenson, widow
Of the distinguished novelist who has
Just died, is well remembered by many
of the older citizens of Indianapolis as
Miss Fannie Vandergrift, daughter OF
o once prominent citizen Of the Indiana
capital. In 1857 the Vandergrift FAM
lily, consisting of father, mother, one
son and several daughters, lived in In
dianapolis, and on December % of that
year Miss Fannie was married to
Samuel Osbourne at her home. She
was a beautiful, high-spirited girl,
bright and clever. Her husband was a
dashing, well-bred fellow, of good FAM
ely, and at the time the match was con-
sidered happy one. During his resi-
dence in Indianapolis Osbourne was a
clerk in the supreme court under
William Beach, and was also private
secretary to Gov. Wright and Gov. VIII
lard. Mrs. Osbourne was but seven
teen years of age when she married her
first husband. The wedding was a
brilliant affair, graced by the presence
OF the chief executive of the state and
other state officials. A year or two
after the marriage Mrs. Osbourne ac-
companied her husband to California,
where she afterward procured di-
vorce from him. Although the latter
was a bright, congenial fellow, he
failed to get along in the world, and
after their removal to California Mrs.
Osbourne was compelled to earn liv-

HuulOr at tLe Altar

Some funny stories are told about
the marriage service. One of them re-
lates how an old man, brought rather
unwillingly to the altar, could not be
induced to repeat the responses. "My
good man." at length exclaimed the
clergyman, 81 really cannot marry you
unless you do as you are told" But
the man still remained silent. At this
unexpected hitch the bride lost all
patience with her future spouse and
burst out with: go on, you old foot!
Say IL after him just the same as if you
was rlockin' him" The same difficulty
occurred in another case. The clergy
man, after explaining what was neces-
sary and going over the responses sew
eral times without the smallest effect,
stopped in dismay, whereupon the bride
groom encouraged him with: go
ahead, passn: go ahead! Thou'rt dom
bravely." Upon another occasion it
was, strangely enough, the woman who
could not be prevailed upon to speak.
When the clergyman demonstrated
with her she indignantly replied:

Zone of the great distractions to
travel along the road were large droves
of cattle, sheep and hogs being driven
from western plains to eastern markets.
The cattle especially, with their long
horns pointed toward the oncominG

Cumberland. Samuel Lurman. said to
be the oldest living stage coach driver,

how many times II years went in n

finally referred the question of his
losses to bank man he learned that in
80 years the $50 in gold would have
amounted to eI.4T3.60. Without fgur-

bank man said he would easily con-

the old banks to have an account doub-

county institution for savings, an &C
count was reckoned at s244.o3, which
originally was but sl0.65. Nothing had
ever been added or taken from the
bank account, and it was left to accu-
mulate. 1t took about so years for
the original sum to gather all that
moss. There was another recent in
stance in the same bank where 81

The annals of "things that go

that eighteen months ago the Spanish
government sent for an exhibition at
the Chicago worlds fair priceless col
lection of objects connected with
Columbus and the memorable voyage
of discovery which first placed the new
world upon the map. But the collec-
ton never reached the exhibition
authorities, and it is not the least as
founding detail of an astounding story
that this exhibit of surprising inter
est was never missed. All through the
summer no one asked inconvenient
questions about the missing curiosities,
and in due time the worlds fair closed.
a fortnight ago a United States war
ship arrived at Cadiz to return the rest
of the exhibits. Then the outcry
arose: Where was the Columbus col
lection? No one knew anything about
the matter on board the vessel. there

TERRaPiNS AS PETS.
Easily Tanned and May Be Taught - Do
Certain Tricks.

The latest fad in the way of domes-
tic pets is the diamond-backed terra
pins. They can be found now in artists
studios, mems smoking-rooms, and
even in the ladies' boudoirs, says the
New York World
The terrapin is a most convenient pet
so far as feeding him is concerned.
You can train him to eat almost any
thing in the way of meat, or If you do
not give him anything to eat at all for
a year or so it does not appear TO dis
tress him to any great degree. 1t only
increases his yvakefulness and activity.
At first he will only feed in water, and
will eat nothing but bard or soft shell
crabs and CLAIMS. He is especially fond
of the former. After time, however,
rs he becomes more domesticated. he
viii readily devour cooked beef or NUT
ton chopped up fine, and viii learn to
take it out of your hand.

Gle the diamond-back is very restless
lie seems to want to investigate every
possible corner of the house. But as
soon as he has taken the bearings Of
his quarters he subsidies into a condi-
ton of quiet content and will allow you
to try to teach him tricks. Everybody
who possesses diamond-bacl speaks
of the readiness with which they can
be tanned.
A well-known New Yorker declares
that he has succeeded in teaching his
terrapin TO do the danse du ventre.
But this cannot be verified.

divorced from her husband six months
she married MIR. Stevenson. The cere-
mony was performed at Monterey. At
the time of the marriage, it was said
that the parents of the English author
were greatly opposed to t>e match He

him to marry. When the newly-made

DON'T HAVE TO BITE
Interesting Observations on the
Deadlest Of All Reptiles
Ten Thousand or More Persons Die An
nually In India from Its Attacks-It
Can Actually Kill With.
0ot Biting. -

Mr.. G. R. O'Reilly shows a remark
able familiarity with snakes. In
Popular Science Monthly he writes
about the cobra. Among the very in
! teresting facts he tells about this, the
deadliest of all snakes, is that it is able
to squirt its venom from the ground to
the height of mans face.
Every year 10000 or more persons
lose their lives in India from the bite of
the cobra. This has happened from
time out of mind, and there is no i'm
mediate prospect of stopping it.
There are several varieties Of cobra,
including Naja tripudians of India,
Naja haja of north Africa, and Sepedon
Intermediates Of South Africa. True
,cobras do not exist in other countries.
They vary in color from brown to
black, but are usually banded with
light and dark rings. At full growth
they are usually four feet in length
and two inches in diameter, but they
sometimes reach length of six feet.
Vononous snakes are roughly divided
by Mr.. O'Reilly into two clasSes-viper-
'idae and elapidae. The rattlesnake be-
longs to the former and the cobra to
the latter. The head in the RATHER is
broad and fiat and the neck very thin.
In the cobra the head, neck and body
are Of about the same thickness until
the tail is reached.
The cobra is very timid. The least
motion alarms him. If you stand be-
fore a cobra and movo your right and
left hands up and down it will strike
repeatedly to the right and left, fol-
lowing your motions. This habit ac-
counts for the belief that the cobra
loves music and dances to it. It is the
players motions which cause the snake
to dance. The cobra is very quick
sighted, but practically without hear
ing, as its head is entirely covered by
the skin in the place where the ears
would be.
So nervous is the cobra that it will
strike at moving object before it has

Mrs. Story has remained real Amer.
ican girl despite her residence abroad.
and even physically is the type which
MIR. Gibson delights to picture. Her
flair, red complexion, bright blue eyes
and ripping bronze-brown hair serve
to enhance the high-bred features and
the fearless, proud expression of her
face. Built in a heroic mold and ex.

fingers, it is no wonder that Mr.. Story,
who is the son OF Julian Story, the
well-known sculptor, thought pretty

mentally.
Mrs Story's home is in London, and
there she entertains great deal when

riding and adores horses and flowers.
Flower cultivation is one of her favor
