reports an exchange, Mrs. Cecilia Non
CUES, then only 19yeors old, went to the
Pacific coast with her husband on their
honeymoon trip. There for the first
time they met John r. Hite, one of the
pioneers of the gold days, who had
made fortune of 100000. They were
his guests at dinner once or twice. and
then parted from him to meet no more
for years. In their brief acquaintance,
however, the millionaire gold miner had
learned to love pretty Mrs. Nougues,
and though she already had young
and healthy husband, he vowed he
would never marry until he could make
her his bride. Through years of wait
ing, when he had lost all traces of her,
he kept his VOW. Recently he became
i'll. His doctor ordered a nurse, and
Mrs. Nougues, now widow earning her
own living as nurse, was sent to attend
him. Each was unaware of the identity
OF the other until they met in the sick
room. Imagine, if you can, their sur
prise. Mrs. Nougues was a capital
nurse, and Mr.. Hite became such an ex-
cellent patient that health soon re-
turned. Then the millionaire, now G7
years old, avowed the love that had
survived IL years of doubt and waiting.
Mrs. Nougues accepted, and they were
married in Oakland on October IA by
Rev. Charles w. Wendte. ~.

HOW BISMARCK BECAME RICH
German Writer Says the Chancellor
SpecuIated on state Secrets,

German Writer Says the Chancellor
SpecuIated ora State Secrets.
A pamphlet has recently appeared i'm
Germany entitled Bismarck and Bleich-
roeder." It's author, says London Truth,
is member of the old JunlSer party of
the name of Diebat Daher and it pro-
feSses to give some curious details liz
regard TO the present fortune of the ex-
chancellor and how it was acquired.
After the German war of $40 the prince
received from the country two estates
of no great value, which, coupled with
his own paternal estate, brought him
in fair revenue. He then left Bleich-
roeder to look after his private moneta-
ny affairs. with the result that he now
has a fortune amounting to $50, DOC. 900
marks. This, the author estimates, can
only have been made by stock exchange
speculations, based on the knowledge
that the prince derived from his position
at the head of the German government,
and which he confided to Bleichroeder.
That, with the cares of empire on his
shoulders. he left his monetary affairs
in the hands of his banker is very pos
sible, and equally possible is it that his
banker did the best for his client. But
should require a good deal more evil
dence than is afforded in this pamphlet
to believe that the prince specialized on
state secrets in partnership with a He
brew hnancier or that his fortune is
now anything like 150,00O,000 marks.

Rev, Stanley Wilson, of Ramona, Cal,
is perhaps the only clergyman in the
country who has record of preaching
sermon and thrashing a bully all in
the same Sunday forenoon, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Mr.. Wilson is an
athletic young man, being considered
the best boxer in the mountain region
of his county, and in addition to rid
ing the circuit embracing the various
hamlets in the hills is editor of the
Ramona Sentinel. He preached the
other morning in the little Baptist
church that stands among the pines
of the hills back of Julian. After his
sermon Mr.. Wilson was aecosted on the
streets by Dave Putnam, bully, who
has been in many scrapes, who deman
cd a rctraction of certain item that
lately appeared in the Ramona Sentinel
rejecting on himself
did you write that article about
me? asked Putnam.
II am responsible for it, il | did not
write it," replied the preacher.
We'll, if you are responsible for
it, take that" said Putnam, striking at
the eloquent young parson.
The blow failed to land The par
son sailed into the miner, and they
clinched. Then the dust of the streets
arose in a cloud. The miners gathered
around and cheered the preacher to the
echo. Within five minutes Putnam was
knocked out and the preacher was calm
ly busting off his plug hat.
Even before this occurred Mr.. Will
son did not lack popularity, but since
then his stock has gone up hundred
fold. Putnam has been laughed out of
the county.

old Man Takes Pride In Hunting Up
His Once Satisfied Creditors.
A case of rather remarkable CONNER
cial honesty has just come to light. In
1878 one of Springfield's well-known
shoe dealers found himself so embar-
raised by depreciation in value of stock
and the difficulty in collecting accounts
that he failed and made compromise
with his creditors of SO cents On the
dollar. s.~-..
After 90 years, reports the SPRING
field (Mass.) Republican, the merchant,
now considerably over 70 years old,
has settled all those old claims in
full, paying the balance unpaid at that
time, amounting to several thousand
dollars. There was no claim on him
other than that of his conscience.
A II his creditors had signed paper
acknowledging their satisfaction, and
in fact, large number of the original
papers had been destroyed, so that the
merchant had to settle in accordance
with the figures he had in his posses
sion, paying over money in some cases
to heirs, or to surviving partners who
knew nothing or had nothing TO show
of the original transaction.
The conscientious old shoe dealer is
very anxious not to have his name APP
pear-his act would lose its merit
through advertising, he says.

After careful consideration the Cen.
tenary Methodist church of Portland
Ore, has decided upon novel plan
for raising funds necessary in conduct.
ing the affairs of the congregation, re-
ports the Chicago Chronicle. IL was
suggested by the pastor, Rev. j. ].
Waters, who has determined to run his
church as democracy, giving every
body opportunity and inducement to
contribute. At meeting of influential
members he explained his plan. He
showed a large roster with all the
members OF the church on it, Opposite
each name are 90 spaces for credit
marks. The roster is placed in the
vestibule OF the church, where it re-
mains, and is in plain view of everyone
entering the church. At the close of
every month the roster is taken down
and all who have contributed any
thing TO the current expenses OF the
church are checked up in the spaces OPP
posite the names. The amount paid is
not given, but the check indicates that
something, however small, has been
paid toward the support of the church
The contributions come into the hands
OF the clerk by means of envelopes,
and the amount and name are obtained
in this way. The roster will show Just
who has paid anything and who has not.

plan unanimously.
