A welsh erin,

Every nation has rip Van
Wrinkle" of its own, but the Welsh
story Of Rip is unique. He is known
as .Taffy ap Sion" One morning
"Taffy'' heard a bird singing on a tree
close by his path. Allured by the
melody, he sat down until the music
ceased: when he rose. what was his
surprise at observing that the tree
under which he had taken seat had
now become dead and wirhered. In
the doorway to his home. which. to his
amazement, had also suddenly grown
older. he asked of a strange old man
for his parents. whom he had left
there. as he said, a few. minutes be-
fore. Upon learning his name the old
man said: Alas Taffy,' / have often
heard my grandfather your father.
speak of you, and it was said you were
under the power of the fairies and
would not be released until the last
sap of that sycamore had dried up.
Embrace me, my dear uncle, for you
are my uncle-embrace your nephew"
Welshmen do not always perceive the
humor of this somewhat novel situation
of a youth--for "Taffy" was still mere
ly boy. being hailed as uncle by a
gentleman perhaps 40 years his senior.

MARRIED IN DENVER.
There Was Some Opposition From the

Son-in-law Without Being Aware
of the Fact.

Denver, Dec. 1S.-A pretty romance
in real life was disclosed in society
circles of this city this afternoon, when
the facts concerning quiet wedding
ceremony recently performed by the
pastor of prominent church here was
for the first time given publicity. The
contracting parties are none other than
Miss Mary Lord Drake, only daughter
of Iowa's governor, General Drake, and
Mr.. George Wood Sturdivant, promi-
nent young business man of Center
vile. Ia.
Miss Drake will be remembered as
the young lady who christened the
battleship Iowa when that magnificent
vessel was launched at Philadelphia
late last summer. After her social
trium9hs in New York and the east
following the christening ceremony of
the Iowa, Miss Drake, accompanied by
Miss Carpenter, her firm friend and
companion. and a cousin of the groom,
came to Colorado. and after spending
several weeks at the prominent mount
ain resorts, the two young ladies con-
Guided their tour of the mountains with
q visit to Colorado Springs. where, at
The Antlers. they were Joined by Mr.
SturdiVant. who came TO the state
partially on business, but principally
to visit the sweetheart whom he had
grown W. with from childhood. mas
much as there was some opposition on
the part of the brides father, it was
decided the time was never more OBJ

with this end in view the three young
people came 70 Denver and quietly
registered at a prominent hotel on the
morning of October %. On the after

of the two young people. This pro-
gramme would have been carried on,
but a few days after the marriage Mrs.

The Phrase "To Eat Crow

San Francisco Call: The following is
given as the origin of the saying. TO
eat crow" During the civil war. or
shortly after its close, a United States
soldier shot tame crow, the owner
of which came upon him before he had
time to reload his piece, and compelled
him to eat mouthful of the bird. This
satisfied the owner of the bird, who
walked away. but before he had gone
a great distance he was oyerhauled toy
the soldier. who had loaded up again,
and compelled him to return and eat
mouthful or two of the crow. The
owner the next day complained at the
post. The commander sent for the
soldier complained OF and asked him:
DO you know this gentleman" The
soldier drawled out: '.Ya-as; we dined
together yesterday" In everyday con-
versation 70 'eat crow is understood
to mean that an individual takes back
all he previously said in regard to
certain matter.

a STORY OF Ii HUNG CHANG.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: Mrs Mary
c. Mind of Detroit delivered a very
interesting address on the work of the
oriental missions at the First Metho-
dist church last evening She told a
number of amusing and interesting in
cidents that came under her notice
during her stay in the orient. One of
the incidents is well worth repeating
Something over a year ago a Chinese
Christian girl named Marguerite
Wang, came TO America with the in
tenticn of obtaining an education. She
remained here year and was just
about to enter womans college when
she received word that her father had
betrothed her to a man whom she had
never seen. Under the consular regu-
lations she was forced to return to
her home, foregoing her education, to
marry this man. Miss Hartford. one
of the principal workers in the Foo
Chow mission, who was here on visit,
accompanied her on her return.
On the same ship with them was Ii
Hung Chang and his suite The vice
roy noticed the Chinese girl and sent
his secretary, Lord Ii, TO inquire about
her. A day or two later he sent word
that he would like to talk with Mar
guerite and Miss Hartford. They went
to see him and told him the story of
the girls attempt to obtain an educa-
ton. The viceroy was much pleased
with his countrywoman and seemed to
take a great interest in her. He told
her and Miss Hartford about the wo-
ans congress which is TO be held in
London in 1898 and said that he wanted
the women of China represented at the
congress.
After a little talk he told Marguerite
that he would appoint her to represent
China and it's women at the congress.
He then asked Miss Hartford if she
did not know of some other woman in
China that was qualified to be dele
gate to the congress. Miss Hartford
at once recommended to him DR.. HUI
King Eng. the first Chinese woman 10
study medicine. Some years ago she
left China TO come to America, and
after a course in the woman's medical
school at Philadelphia she received her
degree. She then returned to China
and became one of the most valuable
members of the Foo-Chow mission,
where she now is. Ii Hung CHAM
was much interested in the story and
after q few questions said that she
should be appointed as the second
woman TO attend the congress. So.
China will be represented at the Wom-A
ans congress. and by two Christian
women. After the viceroy's arrival in
China he made the appointments in a
formal manner

for prohibitory legislation at the COM
ing legislative session. The prospect OF
another Raines law in operation in Chi
cago was anything but pleasing to the
minds of the saloon men, Ii was de-
cided that the common enemy should
be taught a novel lesson in political
economy IL it persisted in its attempt
to encroach upon the rights and privi-
leges of the saloon men, BY a unani-
nous vote the association agreed that
this lesson could be best conveyed by
the voluntary closing of all the saloons
in Chicago for four months. This novel
procedure. it was claimed. would de-
prive the city of so much revenue that
the reform element would quickly
understand that it had been playing
losing game and would come TO time.
