mortgaged for $1,000. He had been unable
to raise any more money upon 1t. He fur
ther stated that he had a family Of ten.
and that their sole support was what was
paid him by the government and his rents
from two small houses.

storm suddenly came on, and he took
shelter under a tree, where q party
were s%heltering also-two young wo-
men and two young men. One of the

the dean; and he took out his prayer
book and then and there married them,
their witnesses being present; and to
make the thing complete, he tore a leaf
from his ~pocketboOk and with his pen
Gil wrote and signed a certificate,
which he handed to the bride.
The certificate was worded as fol-

A Genernus

1t is generally agreed that the dom
inant note of the character of the late
Duchess of Teck was her amiability,
but that term does inadequate justice
to the heart from which it sprung. She
was charity itself, and a wonderful or
ganizer of charitable relief on Il large
scale.
1t is said that she gave out of her OWE
pocket a good fifth of the annual
amount granted to her by Parliament,
and a story, youched for by the ST.
James Budget, shows that she knew
how TO give on a small scale; TO be gen
erous in mind as well as with money.
There were to be some festivities at
White Lodge, the Richmond residence
of the duchess, and an invitation was
sent to the secretary of a charity in
which the duchess was interested. BY
n later post the young lady received q
letter from q friend, asking her TO q
tennis party which was to be held the
same day.
Next morning both invitations were
acknowledged, but the replies were
carelessly put in the wrong envelopes.
The duchess opened the letter in which
the writer declared to her friend that
she was very sorry she could not come
to tennis, because Stout Mary" had
asked her to White Lodge, and she
was bound to go.
The day duly arrived, and the frank
young lady was warmly welcomed by
the duchess. who afterward took her
aside and laughing said:
MY dear girl, l know l am stout, but
/ cannot help it. You should be more
careful in posting your letters, and
never forget that you do not know who
will read what you write. Don't apollo
gize. l have forgiven you

Stephen Mallory White is a Senator

Mallory is a Senator from Florida, says
the Washington Post. There is more
than i mere coincidence in the similar
ity of names. The men are cousins.
Senator Mal,ory's father and Senator
Whites mother were brother and sis

Senators should represent States as far
apart as it is possible for them to be
one on the Atlantic and the other on
the Pacific coast. The grandfather of

est settlers of Florida. while their
grandmother was a Spanish woman of

her old age all her faculties. Much of
Senator Whites sturdiGess comes from
his grandmother. He was not born in
Florida. for his father and mother
crossed the plains in 1850, attracted to
California by the reports of newly dis
covered gold. The Senator was born in
San Francisco in 1858. The Mallorys.
on the other hand, remained in Florida.
and now the whirligig of time and the
strange happenings of politics unite
