Qnscribed to Rudyard Kipling by Mary Eliza.

A woman there was, and she gave her love,
Even as you and 1,
To pitiless beast she thought him man,
Loved him as only true woman can,
And, believing in him, her life began,
Even as you and /.
Oh the broken hearts, the ruined lives,
The madness and despair
Belong to the man who knows full well
That the fame OF lust is the fuel or hell,
But who, knowing, does not care
The woman gave him honor and faith,
Even as you and /,
And the beast who was beast from birth
Dragged her white young life in the slime Of
earth,
Darkened her name with dishonor's breath,
Even as you and l.
Oh, the torment smoke OF a soul Sn-slain
The heartache and tears and care,
Belong to the beast who, as loves high priest,
Cared not for honor or truth in the least,
Slaughtered her soul and did not care.
And the woman, with name of wife denied
Even as you and 1,
Was cast by the pitiess world aside;
And the better nature in her died
1t might have lived had he but tried,
Even as you and l,
Oh the pitiful shame when men will blame,
And the false world place its ban
On the soul that was slain, whose tears and pain
Whose prayers and pleading were all in vain
Who loved a beast that the world called man

Probably one of the most remark
ably old women now living in Pennsyl-
vania, says an exchange, is Mrs. Mary
Ann Cassiday, of Coalport, Pa, who is
now 1O5 years of age, hale and hearty.
She was the mother of eighteen chill
dren, thirteen boys and five girls. OF
this number nine are living and nine
are dead. Mrs. Cassiday was born in
County Fermanagh, Ireland, in 1902,
coming with her husband and family
to this country in 1916. From their
landing at New York they went to
Philadelphia, thence toBroadtop, Johns
town Gallitzin, Houtzdale and finally
located in Coalport, where she has since
lived. She lived in Johnstown AZ years
ago, when the canal was first operated
there. Her husband was killed at
Broadtop few years after coming tC
America by being caught in coal shaft
when returning from work.
Mrs. Cassiday was never known tC
be sick and never had physician. She
never went to a dance in her life. Fol
the past twenty-four years she has had
her second sight, and now does no
need to wear glasses. Though she il
toothless she can eat heartily thre,
times a day. She weighed 22O pounds
when coming to this country, but dur
ing the past fifteen years she has drop

she kissed one of her twin boys good

Kidnapper Fooled.

Albany, N. Y, August 2O.-The FIVE
year-old John Conway, who has been
at the mercy Of the kidnappers since
Monday morning, was returned to his
parents today through the efforts Of
private detectives and reporters in the
employ of the Argus. The child was
abducted by his uncle, Jos. Hardy, and
Fl. G. Blake. Hardy has been placed
under arrest, but Blake escaped from
captors and is being pursued by a squad
of police. Blake was found and taken
to the Argus Office with Hardy. He
was accused of kidnapping and at first
denied all knowledge of it. When
threats failed, he was offered ransom
and finally it was made so large that he
confessed the kidnapping and piloted a
party of Argus men five miles out in
the country where he left them and in
short time returned with boy in his
arms. He was given stuffed pocket
book for his ransom and an effort made
to arrest him. When he saw that he
had been trapped, he pulled revolver
fred four shots and broke away from
his captors who did not pursue him but
drove Immediately to the city with the
boy,

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, May AT the opening of
the market this morning there were ind:ca-
tons of great nervousness. Cables were
rather disappointing, because they were no
higher and the trade generally were in doubt
as to whether yesterdays advance would hold
or not For the first half-hour prices ruled
lower and weak, losing 12c. About 10 o'clock,
under some good buying, July wheat ad-
yanced sharply from 711s@7Ac to Y 1-16c
stead:ed little, then weakened, and gradual
~ declined, with intermittent seasons Of
strength. to tic. where it rested for while.
The character of the trading was of the
scalping order. with timtd longs unloading
and securing profits accrued. The undertone
of the market is strong On legitimate condi-
tons, and in way affects the outlook for a
higher range of values later on. The char
Rcter of the news received today was rather
mixed but on the whole was interpreted as
bullish. Crop reports from Indiana and ILL
nois were confirmatory of yesterdays news
and went a little further as to the amount of
damage being DONE Some of the best coun-
ties in Indiana reported one-thrd plowed up
and that the balance of the crop does not ex-
ceed 10 per cert in condition. and rapidly
going lover because of the ravages of the in
sect pests. San Francisco reports no improve
ment in the outlook, but it is gradually grow
ing more serious FOR wheat if the drought
be not broken soon From many sections in
the Northwest it is reported that the ground
is drying too rapidly and forming stiff crust
which retards the seed sown from coming up,
and that rain is greatly needed The gov
eminent report, to be issued Monday, is gen
orally expected to show a lower condition of
the entire area sown to winter wheat. There
are m.ny, however, who believe that no mat
Ter how much it may be bullish, the trade has
fully discounted the condition by the late
rise in values. New York advised that cx-
porters took 300 600 blu YESTERDAY for eynort
and that 16S,000 blu were taken at outports:
also that export houses were free buyers this
morning of July and September delivery.
Chicago reported $4,000 Blu taken late yester-
day by inte ior milers. and that more would
have been taken had holders been content
with the premiums paid. The visible supply
