Tangled by Marriage.

A few weeks ago a rather peculiar
marriage took place at Dillsboro, Ind,
David Gray marrying his granddaugh-
ter by a former marriage. 1t would
appear that the Grays believe in pc
culiar marriages, for Gray's father
married his stepsister, whose mother
was the aunt of his present wife. The
people at that point have dropped the
wal question and are endeavoring to
solve the relationship of Gray to his
wife, and of his wife to him. An Ohio
county genius saw the announcement,
read 1t, pondered over it, set to think
ing, and here is the outgrowth Of his
fertile imagination: II married a
widow who had a grown-up daughter.
My father visited the house very often,
fell in love with my stepdaughter and
married her. So my father became my
son-in-law, and my stepdaughter my
mother, because she vas my fathers
wife. Some time afterward my wife
had a son, he was my fathers broth
er-in-law and my uncle, for he was
the brother of my stepmother. My
fathers wife-that Is, my stepdaughtel
had also a son; he was, of course
my brother, and in the meantime my
grandchild, for he was my mothers
mother. l was my wife's husband ane
grandchild at the same time. And, as
the husband of a persons grandmother
is his grandfather, l was my OWL
grandfather Topeka State Journal.

Doolin and tho ThuuderboIt.

P. Doolin was a track-walker on the
Erie railroad. He attended a wake
one day shortly before it was time for
him to go on duty, with the lamentable
result that early in the evening he
seemed ambitious to walk ON both
sides Of the track at once. The "Thun-
derbolt" express was due to pass the
Haskell road at 8:45. At that time
Doolin reached the road, but the train
did not appear. She was still invisible
a 8, and Doolin began to worry about
her in a maudlin way. When she was
20 minutes late he could control his
anxiety no longer, and began walking
the track toward her as fast as he
could in his unsteady condition. The
'Thunderbolt" meantime was flying
along at unusual speed. She had been
delayed by a trifling wreck and the en-
gineer was making UP lost time. Sud-
denly a lantern whirled like a giant
pinwheel in the gloom far down the
track. The engineers face whitehead,
the brakes ground into the complain
ing wheels; the engine rocked and
trembled; passengers lurched in their
seats, and with hiss of air and steam
the ''Thunderbolt" stopped. Dropping
from his cab the trembling engineer
ran up to where P. Doolin stood.
"What-what's the natter" he gasp

Persfstently Polite.

A Belfast lady had a curious adven-
ture whilst travelling by train. A a
old gentleman sitting opposite to her
presently bent forward, and said, with
gentle .reproof: Excuse me, but do
you think it wise, when there are so
many thieves about, to carry your
purse 80 conspicuously?" AS he
spoke he pointed to her purse, which
was projecting slightly from her
pocket. Considering the stranger rath-
er officious, she thrust the portemon-
nate down in her pocket and thanked
him with a stiff reserve, perhaps a
trife ~scornfully. At the next station
the old gentleman got out. AS he did
so, he turned to his pretty vis-a-vis
with a polite bow, and the mischievous
indulgence Of his years. ALLOW me
to restore your purse. You see, it was
not so hard to lose as you supposed"
So saying, he held out to her the purse
she had supposed was safely reposing
in her pocket. She received 1t, color
ing with child-like modification,
thanked him p~rofusely, and her friend
took his leave with a friendly smile
A few minutes later, when the official
came round to collect tickets, h dis
covered her purse to be empty.

Quaker Guns at Bull Run.

The rumored use of Quaker guns on
the abandoned lines of Santiago recalls
an incident in the civil war at Manas-
sas The two armies were confronting
each other at that place in 1862. Nc
Clellan decided to quietly Withdraw
his troops and approach Richmond
from another direction, namely, by
way of the James river. The confeder-
ates, however, learned of the move
ment, and after mounting a number
OF logs of wood painted to resemble
cannon they quietly decamped to meet
the federal advance from the other .di-
rection. The federals did not learn
that they had gone until a portion OF
their army made an assault upon the
confederate batteries and, much to
their disgust, captured only the Qua
ker cannon.-Baltimore Sun.

A Strange Case.

Rev. Thomas c. Hanna, a young
clergyman, Of P%lantsville, Conn, was
in April, 1897, thrown from his car
riage. When he was picked up it was
found that he had lost his memory.
He uttered inarticulate sounds. He
could lot speak, nor could he under
stand what was said to him. The doc
tor strapped him down, thinking ne
was delirious. Miss Cook, his fiancee,
fastened to his bedside. She implored
him to speak to her. He only 'gazed
blankly into her face. Every mental
faculty had completely deserted him.
He was taken to New York and placed
in the hands of experts in mental dis
ease. BY experiments they were able
to prove that two distinct lives dwelt
within their patient. One was dead
ened by the shock of the accident, the
other was living, with the knowledge
that dated only from the accident. The
evidence of this lay in bringing to the
surface of consciousness bits of mem

were times when the dual personality
became strongly marked. Mr.. Hanna
would sometimes live in the past ant
sometimes in the present. He would
go to sleep in one state and awaken
in the other. At night he would be The
scholar, in the morning he would wake

he associate in the slightest degree Thu

the doctors succeeded IN merging th'
two sets of consciousness and the re
covery was completed. Mr.. Hanna

MARQUIS DE CERRALBO.
and is regarded as a man of great cru
dition. While he took no part in the
field operations of the Carlists in 1873
rs, he and his family have always been
sympathiZers and active ones in the
legitimate cause. He has been the head
of this cause in Spain since 1882, and
is the choice of the pretender for the
office Of prime minister.
In that year he succeeded Mr.. Noce-
dial, editor of the Siglo Future, as the
legitimist leader, the latter having
become very unpopular with the young
er and more ardent spirits in the
movement. By birth and tradition he
is fitted for the position. He is a ma
tive of Valencia, capital city of the
province of the same name, where the
fires of legitimism are s%moldering.
Nothing but fear of the military power
and the civil guards prevents an out
break there, and a small success any
where else in the kingdom would
speedily rouse this province to revolt.
During a portion of the winter
months the marquis lives in Madrid,
and is an attendant at the court, but
he prefers his ancestral palace in Va
lencia to any other residence. This
palace is one Of the most magnificent
in the country. Its walls are rich IL
splendid paintings by Rubens, Saliva
tor Rosa, Annual Carracci and Guido
REM, which make it a place Of excep-
tional interest to students of art. A
large variety of archaeological curios,
prehistoric vases, Christian relics dat
ing back to the first centuries, Etrusean
and Byzantine vases, sculptures and
pottery from the palaces of the abor-
iginal rulers of Peru and Mexico an
peal to the antiquarian and historian.
He has a collection of over q, 900 rare
coins and a magnificent library filled
with rare treasures.
AS he is a Carlist, the marquis is
also a most devout Catholic. His
sanity relative and the order founded
by him also add to the zeal of the
g%randee. His chapel in this palace
is renowned as the most splendid of
all the private chapels in a land where
such things are part of the national
life. There is a splendid painting Of
St. Dominic in this chapel, before
which the marquis prostrates himself
every morning to implore the aid OF his
%canonized kinsman to gain the bless
ings of heaven on the house and the
cause of his master, Don Carlos.
The marquis is a widower and child
less. He was bereaved of his wife two
years, she dying without leaving an
heir to the great fortune and greater
name.

streets Of London a half hour after the
wedding he, English-like, struck her
in the face because she had not
brought with her enough money for
their travelling expenses. 1t pleased
her to shine for a time in British So
ciety. In this she easily succeeded.
The year after her marriage she was
presented at the queens drawing room
and English papers proclaimed that she
was the most beautiful American seen
at that notable function. She became
a member Of the Prince of Wales set.
London was surprised when Hon.
Walter Yarde-Buller brought suit for
divorce. San Francisco affected to be
equally surprised, but those who re-
membered the vagaries of the Leilah
kirkham OF ten years before merely
lifted their eyebrows. Valentine Gads-
den was named in MI. Yarde-Buller's
complaint. He alleged that Mrs. Yarde-
Butler had been overheard addressing
Mr.. Gadsden as Dear VAL" This Mrs.
Yarde-Buller denied. She said that
during a temporary estrangement from
her husband she had employed Mr..
Gadsden al her business agent. Val

and the court-martial were not for
terly untamable as that beautiful
daughter of his. The strong military
disciplinarian proved the weak home
ruler. 1t was not strange tina his
shrinking, delicate wife fled from the
task which her husband abandoned.
The older sister, who "was like other
people and did as they did, was rath-
Ell afraid of her buoyant younger sis

be like herself, only like herself" and
as different from the stupid people
who were just like each other and did
things because others did" as was pos
sible. She came to do what she liked,
exactly what she liked" She was
leaving the fair domain of liberty and
approaching the dark borderlands of ii
cense, and there was nc one to say her
nay.
But she vas r~adiantly beautiful, de-
spite the hooking daredevil in her
brown eyes. There was a lissome, vol
uptuous grace in her young figure, a
rare mingling of faultlessness of fea-
ture and vividness of coloring in her
face, a union of mockery and win
someness in her fute-like laugh.
She was the belle of all the military
fetes in the Lighthouses at the Preside.
The most original and the strangest
girl | ever saw said the observant at
these fetes.

Leilah's lifelong wish was being
granted. She was like herself" like
NO one else in her little world.
Gen. Kirkham left the command OF
the Preside and removed his family
to a mansion built for them on the
shore of Lake Merritt, in Oakland. It
was at the "house-warming" she met
Boyle Blair, the young Englishman,
who had just been appointed to a con
sulship in South Africa. She married
him.
Mrs. Boyle Blair returned from South
Africa in Widows weeds. With her
were her two sops. Rumors as elusive
as the breeze-blown thistledown came
from far-away South Africa. The
rumors described Mrs. Blair's conduct
as e%rratic, her temper as ungovernable,
her tastes those of a woman of pleas
ure. When these rumors reached her
ears Mrs. Blair only laughed. She was
still like nobody but herself" She
did exactly as she liked. There were
a few months in the mansion by Lake
Merritt. Then the family went to Eu-
rope. In England Mrs. Blair, the old
Leilah Kirkham still, married Hon
Walter Yarde-Buller. He was the
brother of Lord Churston, of Churston
court. The Yarde-Bullers were an Ole
