Marrying For Honey.

Marrying for money is an
ancient industry, if the gar
rulous old dame Rumor is to
be b e ie v e d, but a new
wrinkle has been added to it
by a genius in Ohio. Ohio
has produced a great many
roted characters, and it is
not surprising that among
the number should be a
Napoleon of matrimony. The
Ohio man patronized the
matrimonial journals and
put himself in correspondence
with giddy girls and charm
ing widows. Love, of course
was poured out literally by
the gay Ohian, and If the OBJ
iect of his desires had any
money a marriage followed.
Widows with the insurance
money on the dear departed
hocked about the Ohio man.
He made it a point to 60 to
some remote section to have
the marriage ceremony per-
formed, and as soon as he
got his hands on the money
he decamped, leaving his
dupe behind him penniless.
His last exploit was in induc-
ing a Canadian girl to leave
her home and 60 to Palmyra,
Mo-, where he met and mar
ried her. The foolish thing
gave him $3.50, all the money
She had in the world, and he
Immediately deserted her. 1t
is estimated that he has
married an6. robbed between
twenty and thirty women in
the last FIVE years, and no one
of them can tell how he stands
on the financial question. -

HOW's This?

Once upon a time there
were two old men who sat in
the market early every morn
ing and sold apples. Each
one had 80 apples, and one of
the old men sold two for l
cent, and the other sold three
for l cent. In that way the
first old man got IS cents for
his basket of apples, while
the second old man received 10
cents; so that together they
made Is cents each day. But
one day the old apple'man
who sold three for 1 cent
was too sick to 60 to the
market, and he asked his
neighbor to take his apples
and sell them for him, This
the other old man kindly con-
sented to do, and when he
got to the market with the
two baskets of apples he
said TO himself: II will
put all the apples into one
basket, for it will be easier
than picking them out of two
baskets, y So he put The &c
