She Wanted q Husband.

Widows are pr~ovcrbially designing.
When they set their hearts upon mar
rying a mar there is little hope for his
escape, and he might as we'll surrender
at discretion. A story comes from
the White Oak region Of Kentucky that
illustrates this fact. 1t is an unusual
complication, too, the widow in the
case having her own daughter for a
rival. Martha Berry was fair and
forty, but whether fat or not the
deponent saith not. Some years ago
she lost her husband, but a daughter
remained to comfort her and to be
comforted. This daughter. Matilda,
has just reached the age of 10, and is
fair to look upon. In the neighbor-
hood of the Berry domicile lived
johnson Whitley, a prosperous farmer
Of 30 and a widoWer. Whitley has
been paying attention to Mrs. Berry's
daughter for six months and it was
supposed generally they would be
married soon. The mother would not
give her consent, but she did not
object to the young widower's calls.
He pleaded with the widow for the
hand of her daughter to no purpose
and the young people decided on an
%elppement.
All the arrangements we're made for
the elopement, but the watchfulmother
discovered what was on foot, and on
Friday night, the time set for the
elopement, she went to her daughter
room shortly after dark and bound the
girl hand and foot. She also tied a
gag in her mouth, and took her to her
own room and tied her to the bed.
She then returned to the daughters
room, and when Whitley came to steal
away his love the widow answered the
summons, and without speaking a word
joined the young man in the yard.
He assisted her into his buggy, and
drove with her to Grayson, the county
seat of Carter county, where he had
arranged with Judge Morris to perform
the ceremony.
Whitley was surprised at the silence
of his companion, but as she leaned
coDfdingly on his arm and appeared
to be sobbing all the time he could do
nothing more than caress her now and
then and cheer her up by telling her
that her mother would forgive her. 1t
was not until after the ceremony was
performed on the Judges front porch
and they had repaired to a hotel that
the bridegroom saw that he had mar
ried the widow. He decided at once
to make the best Of the situation. He
took his welded wife home, and to q
neighbor he said that although he
thought he was dead in love with
Matilda he always did think a great
deal of her handsome mother. Matilda
was discovered bound in her mothers
room by a neighbor the next morning,
and when she learned Of the trick her
mother had played her she said that
although she thought she loved Mr.:
Whitley she is now satisfied she did
not. She promises to be a dutiful
daughter to him. Chicago Chronicle.

Some experiments have lately been
made in England to test the effect of
alcohol in various quantities upon diges-
ton. It was found that absolute alcohol
stimulated digestive action by a fraction
of l per cent, when the amount of alcohol
present did not exceed 2 per cent. When
more than this was added the digestive
activity was greatly reduced. Three per
cent of alcohol reduced the power Of
digestion over II per cent. Pure rye
whisk0y, containing 81 per cent Of alcohol,
was found to have almost exactly the
same result. Even the addition of per
cent of whiskey reduced the digestive
activity by 6 per cent. Brandy, rum and
gin gave practically the same result.
