PRINCIPALS IN THE HILLS DIVORCE CASE.

bicycle and took spin of two or three
miles into the country He stopped at the
farm where the Garrett boy lives with his
parents. There was a long conversation
between the minister and the choirboy in
the big barn back Of the farmhouse. Then
the Clergyman rode back again to his home
at slower pace.
The following day, with n member of
the vestry CT the church, the clergyman
again visited the farm, and the day after
that papers were filed by his lawyer asking
for divorce. Mrs. Hills was visiting her
relatives in New York at the time.
Howard Garrett is chubby faced, red
checked little lad In knickerbockers. He
has an open, frank countenance, brown
ewes and wavy hair. He attends the West
Chester public school on the hill. A re-
porter met him coming from school the
other day and asked for an explanation of
Mr. Hills charges.
"It's all on account of that letter Mr..
Hills found back of the piano" he said.
There was nothing much in 1t except a
lot of stars in red ink to represent kisses.
/ wrote it in school and sent it by mail.
When Mr.. Hills found it, he jumped on his
wheel and came flying to the farm and saw
me and said he knew everything Say, 1t
was darn mean of him to say he knew
everything when he didn't, wasn't it9
"Say, you don't suppose ma will find
out anything about this, do your" he sud
denly asked. "She hasn't heard anything
yet, and 1 don't want her to. l have de-
stroyed all the newspapers that come to
the farm, and she doesn't go to town ever,
so she can't hear folks talk. don't know
whether dad and Tom and my sisters know
it or not. You see, they keep on the farm
pretty much all the time.
IT always liked Mrs. Hills ever since 1
sang in the choir. Gee, but would hate
to have ma know that stole aunt's cutter
one night and took Mrs Hills out riding!
! used to live with aunty then, but when
she found out about the cutter ride she
sent me home, and 1 have not seen her
since.

Burglar Caught by the Tongue.

During the severely cold weather in
January Tip Burbank, a notorious robber,
went out alone one night to make raid
on the First National bank of Fort Ben
ton, Mon. His plan was to enter through
q window in the rear of the building, to
make his way through the room and offices
back, finally working his way to the vault.
An iron grating protected this window.
The night was intensely cold, and the
streets were like glass, heavy snow two
weeks previous having melted as it fell
and then frozen smooth and hard. While
Tip was fling the first bar of the grating
his foot slipped, throwing him forward
violently against the window AS luck
would have it, the fall jerked his mouth
open, forcing his tongue between his lips,
fairly freezing it to the icy iron bars. All
efforts to release himself were in vain, as
nothing short of pulling his tongue out by
the roots would have effected this and he
could not bring himself to do it. A watch
man making his rounds found him half
hour later almost dead with cold. Tip is
alive and safely housed in Jail now, but
his tongue will never wag again. 1t is
completely and hopelessly paralyzed.

day present, but you inst jump on your
pony and ride over to Colonel Goodnight's
ranch and fetch the girls and boys and
round up all the folks that you meet, and
wewill have a barbecue right here and the
all flredest frolic tonight that was ever
heard of on this range. In the meantime
/ will kill half dozen yearlin's and send
one of the boys over to the store after
fiddle"
Sallie said that it was not far, and that
she could walk. AS she went out at the
yard gate swinging her hat over her head
she met one of her brothers, who asked her
to carry pitchfork over to the next ranch.
Sallie said that it was not. very nice for
girl to be carrying a pitchfork.
"But I'll take it" she laughlngly re-
piled, "for might meet q bear"
She little dreamed that there was any
thing prophetic in her words, for no one
had seen bear in that vicinity for three
or four years, though there are plenty of
them in the mountains a few miles away.
Nearly every day now Sallie has to tell
some one who wants to hear the story from
her own lips how she was walking leisurely
along the narrow trail when big black
bear stepped out of the bushes right in
front of her. His nose, she said, was al
most touching her dress. Her first impulse
was to run and scream for help, but it
flashed over her mind that that would sim
ply be extending an invitation to bruin to
spring after her, and she knew that he
would catch her and tear her to pieces be-
fore she had made O half dozen steps.
Fortunately she was carrying the pitchfork
by her side, with the tines in front of her.
A glance showed her that the sharp prongS
of the fork were only few inches from
the bears ribs. Quicker than words could
express anything it occurred to her that if
she could drive the three little fangs of
steel into the bears heart, if it did not kill
him on the spot, it would so much disable
him that she would have chance to es-
cape. 1t was her only hope, and suiting
the action to the thought just as bruin be-
gan to growl the brave girl summoned all
her strength, and aiming at the monster
heart she drove the three prongs of the fork
into him Just behind the fore shoulder up
to the handle.
"And then" she says, 81 turned and ran
home as hard as ever l could Her aim
had been true, for one of the sharp tines Of
the fork had passed through the bears
heart. When old Uncle Dan and his cow
boys reached the place. they found that the
bear had received death wound. He had
broken the handle of the fork and struggled
about little, but he had died almost in
his tracks.
The bear weighed 400 pounds, and as he
was very fat Miss Sallie Mahone's friends
ate barbecued bear meat while celebrating
her birthday.

SHE PlrcHFoRKED A BEAR.
How a Brave Texan Girl Provided For q
Rarhecne.

Texas is famous for brave girls. Just at
this time mono is attracting more attention
than Miss Sallie Malone, who killed q
full grown black bear the other day with a
pitchfork.
The young lady is the only daughter Of
Uncle Dan Malone, as he is called by the
cowboys. Uncle Dan is mighty proud of
his pretty daughter, and he has exchanged
the value of whole herd of Texas steers
for the polish and "book learnin, " as
he calls it, which his very grateful little
Sallie brought home with her from Hardin
college.
The other morning Miss Sallie ran out
on the porch at the big ranchhouse and
told her father that that was her birthday
and that she was just 18 years old.

should be indicated by lights after dusk.
This did not discourage the Chinese,
and he at once secured beacon which he
hangs from the back of his chair now upon
retiring.
Chang is q property holder and owns a
lot in Oakland in partnership with another
Chinese. Nevertheless he considers HIM
self too poor to afford place in which to
sleep and eat.
He walks through Alameda and Contra
Costa counties repairing chairs and
makes fair wages thereby.

waite, until one day a Michigan Grand
Army man looked up the records and
found that no such name as Homer Morti-
mcr was enrolled from Michigan.
1t was during one of her lecture tours
that the woman happened to be in Boston
when the great fire of 1878 broke out She
did heroic duty for the sick and wounded
and showed great bravery in the work of
rescue
She married, in 1876, A. II. Clayton,
clergyman of the Church Of England. He
allowed her to support .ilI for several
years, and then she divorced him, and, as
Kate Homer Clayton, went 70 the Pacific
coast where she renewed her Grand Amy
lectures and swindlcs.
In San Francisco, in 1884, she married
Edward II. Howe. He was commissioner
from California TO the New Orleans Cotton
exposition, and in the Crescent City the
two spent their honeymoon. From New
Orleans they drifted to Boston, where both
joined Modjcska's company, meanwhile
working the Harvard game whenever they
could. BY way of variety she also posed
on occasions as Mason's daughter and
made some money out of trustful brothers.
They soon left the stage and went west,
where Mrs Howe gave public entertain
ments notably children's drama called
"Komo." Her powers of mind made an
impression everywhere, but everywhere
she left unpaid bills and broken promises
She and her husband were in Chicago
early in 1898, when he was arrested on
complaint of the president of the Harvard
club. The wife then went to New York,
and from crcdulous Yale and Harvard
men obtained the money to employ coun-
sci for her husbands defense. He was re
leased but she continued her operations
until August, 1894, when she was locked
up at Hartford
Howe has been lying low ever since
"sitting mandy PANTY" as his wife says.
He has had remarkable career also Born
in Cincinnati of good parentago in 1913,
he served in the army and graduated at
Harvard in 1864. He became president of
the Lawrence Technology society, after
studying mining in Frciburg and at the
Ecole dies Mines in Paris. He was super
intcndent of rolling mill in Pomeroy,
o., and an assistant engineer of the Bos
ton and Lowell railroad. In San Francisco
he was auditor for the Western Union
company and prominent in social and pub
lie life.

A SCHOOLGIRLS PLIGHT.
Love Letter to the Rec
tors Wife Gets Him
Into Trouble.

A schoolboy's love letter hidden away in
the back of piano led to discovery
which has caused the Rev. G. Heathcote
Hills, rector of Holy Trinity Episcopal
church of West Chester, Pa, to institute
an action for divorce against his young and
very pretty wife, Carolyne l.. Hills
The clergyman names as the destroyer of
his domestic happiness Howard Garrett, a
16-year-old schoolboy who was member
of the vested choir of his church. Mrs
Hills is with her parents in New York city.
She cmphatically denies the accusation and
will contest the case.
When Mr.. Hills became rector of staid
old Holy Trinity at West Chester few
years ago and took his wife to the town,
she completely won the parishioners with
her beauty and accomplishments. The
church is one of the oldest and most fash
ionable in Chester county, and member
ship in it Is equivalent to a diploma of So
cial prominence in the borough. Mrs
Hills, although, as has been said, winning
almost immediate popularity, also gained
few enemies. What popular woman does
not? Her views were broad, extremely
progressive for the quiet neighborhoOd.
She took the stand that bicycling was not

Tho rector and Mrs. Hills have been

affectionate couple until n week or two ago,
when a discovery was made by Mr. Hills
which threatens permanent disruption.
The rector was preparing some furniture to
be sent to his summer cottage He wheel
ed the piano away from the wall, and as
he did so piece of paper fluttered to the
carpet behind it, He picked up the paper
and discovered that it was letter address
cd to his wife. He had scarcely finished
reading the letter when the van rolled up
to the door. Mr.. Hills walked out to the
curb. His face was white, but his voice
was steady. He told the driver he had
changed his mind about moving the fur
niture that day. Then he jumped on his
