Mrs. Hamilten's first duty every morn

beard as luYuriaut as man ever wore
was kept from the worlds view.
Deserted and alone, with not a, crust

found q few weeks ago by her neigh

taken 10 the county hospital. where
she passed away, and was buried by
the COUNTY. Just before her death she
told that during her life she had been
married six times, and each of her hus-
bands had deserted her.
She came to Great Fsalls about eight
years ago from, Vermont. In the fall of
1883 R. C Adams, an old Grand Army
man. decided that he wanted a, wife.
He advertised in Heart and Hand. q

woman who has just died. Photos were
exchanEed and Adams sent money to
bring her on On her arrival Adams
discovered that she was not the original

had quite a growth Of w9liskers. He re-
fused point blank to marry her.
Several old-timers, learning of the
strange woman's nredicdnlert went to
Adams and gave him just so many
hours to have the ceremony performed.

When the war closed Mr. Stanton'S
health was ruined. At the last cabinet
meeting before Mr. Lincoln was assas-
sinated, his associates got glimpse of
the secretary's character which was
new to them. They saw the tears of
joy fan from the eyes of the president
and the war minister as eongratUla-
tions were exchanged on the return of
peace. At the age Of SO. after life
of toll which had wrecked magniff-
cent constitution, Stanton had accum-
ulated nothing but his home aud
library. It was period of testimon-
i2ls to those who had saved the Union.
Rich men went to the war minister
with a purse of $1000 900 to be accepted
as a gift Of gratitude. Mr.. Stanton re-
fused. He would not permit it to be
said that he had tacitly measured his
devotion to his country with money.
He was nominated without being a
candidate, to be associate justice Of
the United States supreme court, and
confirmed at once by the body which
had hesitated few years before when
he was named for secretary. Before he
could qualify and take his place on the
bench the end came. The people Of
