LOVERS OF THIRTY YEARS WE'D
Indiana Boasts Bright Example
Constancy and Devotion.


Constancy and Devotion.
A bright example in constancy and
fll1al devotion is afforded in the expert
ence of couple recently welded in
Liberty township, Indiana, the newly
married pair being Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Foreman, who reside on their 4OO-acre
farm near Greentown. In point of age
both bride and groom have passed the
half-century mark. Though lovers
from early childhood and betrothed
from youth, the marriage was deferred
until now, the engagement covering a
period of thirty years. Young Fore
man had a stepmother to whom he was
greatly attached, and to whom he
solemnly pledged to support during her
lifetime, promising not to marry while
she remained alive. Contrary to ex-
pectations, the invalid and dependent
stepmother lived until year or more
ago. During this long wait of nearly
third of a century the lovers scrupul-
ous1y observed their VOWS, toiling on
through the years without a thought
of disregarding the pledges given the
stepmother or breaking faith in any
manner whatever. They grew gray,
lived frugally, saved their earnings and
patiently bided their time. When
death removed the barrier, the lovers
had accumulated sufficient means to
buy the largest farm in the township.
The minister first engaged to perform
the marriage ceremony died of old
age many years ago, and divine of a
new generation oficiated at the long
delayed wedding.-Chicago Times-Her-
aid.

A GREAT ACTOR.
Forrest Was Always Tragic, Especially
When Allmony Day Came Round.

Forrest Was Always Tragic, Especially
When Allmony Day Came Round.
Mccullough did not carry the actor
into every day life, as Forrest did. For
rest was always "the great tragedian,"
and after his divorce generally moody
and silent, but when he spoke it was
in deep, tragic tones and with shakings
of his black curly locks that impressed
the listener with unbounded awe, says
the Overland Monthly. No one,
think, ever dared to joke or be familiar
with the great Forrest When "ali-
mony day" came around and he had to
pay good, round sum to his divorced
wife it was better to keep away from
him, for then he allowed his temper
and "ugliness" to have full sway. Mo-
where in American dramatic history
does an actor stand out with the prom
inence of Forrest. His individuality
was so pronounced that no one who
once met him could ever obliterate that
meeting from his memory. Forrest is
also part of history, for there are
many who remember the "Macready
RIOTS" melted primarily by Forrest
kissing Macready in Hamlet for intro
ducing some business he did not like
waving a handkerchief and dancing on
in the players scene-which Forrest
sarcastically dubbed 1.-The Pas de Mou-
choir" This was in London and the
news spread like wildfire, so that after
playing magnificent first engagement
all over England his second was made
a failure by Macready's friends hiss
ing, grooming and interrupting his
plays.
