but they were unable to market them.
While carrying out this part of their
plan they were arrested, and what they
intended for honeymoon became O
stay in Jail
They were tried and convicted. The
youth of both prisoners had much to do
with the fact that they received light
sentence-a year in the penitentiary.
A year is long time to fond lovers
when the year means. separation. Six
teen-year-old Gertie declared that it was
shame, and that the time would never
pass.
In the county Jail the lovers were al
lowed to see and talk to each other
daily and the result of these talks was
the resolve to be married before they
were taken to the penitentiary and thus
separated.
One thing stood in the way of their
carrying out their plans. Gerte had not
attained the age at which girls can
marry in Ohio without the consent of
their parents. Gertie's mother lived in
Dayton and a letter was sent to her ex-
planning the situation. By return mail
letter came from the older woman,
giving her consent.
On May / the wedding took place.
The bride and bridegroom were taken
from the Jail to the Office of the jailor,
and there they were met by minister,
who Joined them in marriage. They
seemed as happy as they expected to be
when they mounted the horses and rode
away seeking fortune and happiness.
Perhaps the story may induce Gov.
Bushnell to pardon them or shorten
their sentences

The enthusiasm and the curiosity
provoked by Nine. Sarah Bernhard
has never been equalled in the histo-
ry of the stage. One talks vaguely Of
genius, temperament, quick intelli-
gence, passion, nervous mobility, grace,
smile, voice, charm, poetry-Mme Sa-
rah Bernhard has them all.
Bernhard is today as enthusiastic
in her profession as though her career
were before her. She works as assid-
uously during rehearsals as though
each performance were her first
night
No one is more conscientious in all
matters pertaining to her life work.
She knows the incalculable value of
health, strength, and high spirit as
thoroughly as she comprehends the
terms of her contracts, and no one
knows better than she how essential to
her artistic success is vigorous ner-
vous sytem.
Nine. Bernhard writes the following
letter:
II beg leave to state that, according
to your instructions, I have used
Paine's celery compound, and l am
convinced that it 81 the most powerful
nerve strengthened that can be found.
1T is with the greatest pleasure that
I send you my sincere testimonial.
Truly yours, Sarah Bernhardt."
Good health is within the reach of
every one, not only the wealthy and
famous, but the poor as well, who will
rely on Paine's celery compound.
Ill health and disease are not natural.
One should not compromise with them.

Mr.. James Blair, a farmer living south

mare aged % years, which few days

having five legs. The extra appendage
is an outgrowth in the pastern joint on
the right front leg. The foot proper

Decision That VIII Mean Millions in the
Glucose Industry.
Chicago. Feb. 9.-Glucose manufact-
urers of the country will rejoice in the
decision of Judge Grosscup yesterday
on the Arno Behr patents, and million
dollar suits will no longer have any
terrors for them. The Behr patents are
controlled by the Chicago Sugar Refin-
ing company. Several years ago a test
suit was entered against the Charles
Pope Glucose company for using the
Behr devices in the separation of corn
for the various products Of oil, starch
and sugar.
A month ago the sugar people were
so confident Of winning the suit, which
had been submitted to Judge Grosscup
on final arguments, that they instituted
suits against glucose concerns at Peoria,
Chicago and Rockford. asking for ST.
900. damages for alleged infringments
on the Behr patents. Judge Grosscup
handed down his opinion dismissing the
suit on the ground Of want of equity.
He held that Behr's patents had not
such novelty as to be afforded the pro-
lection Of the patent laws: that his de-
vices were but another conformation of
an old device
