much of his time in st. Louis, where,
the police say, he has more wives than
he has in Buffalo. He also has wives
in Chicago. Pittsburg, New York, Los
Angeles, City of Mexico, Kansas City,
Boston and Philadelphia.
In each of these places, judging from
the letters he has in his trunk, he won
numerous hearts and made some wives.
He posed as professor of massage
treatment in New York, professor 01
elocution in st. Louis, and as mining
engineer in Mexico and California
In 1896 Woodruff went to Buffalo,
stayed two weeks, and married a wo-
man named Loretta Dart, of whom he
had never before heard He and she
were married at Fort Erie. Woodruff
deserted her a few days after the cere-
her parents, who are wealthy farmers
near HambuI h, N. Y. She lives
there now.
About three months ago woodruff

street boarding. house. One day ne
met Rowina Scott on the street. Mrs.
Scott spoke to him, but Woodruff did
not answer. He evidently did not
know her as one of his wives. Mrs
Scott met him second time, and when
this time he did not deign to recognize
her she was indignant. She went to
the police. Detectives were detailed
on the case and two days later they ar
rested Woodruff.
Among the other wives Of woodruff
are: Mabel Lane, a soubrette, married

When the mother was asked the
birthdays of her children she recited

life for any rich lady's. Look at these

two girls that got married?

them all here, but it crowds us up

According to the stories in town Mrs.

ness, and she will be all right soon, L

Mrs. SwartWood was married when
she was fourteen years old and when
her husband was twenty, and two of
her daughters have followed her ex-
ample in making an early marriage,
both being welded when they were
nineteen. But while one has been mar
ried three years and the other two,
each has but one child.
Mr.. Swartwood is forty-seven years
old and well preserved. He weighs
about 225 pounds while his wife weighs
$50. He is an engineer on the Central
Railroad. He likes nothing better than
to chat about his numerous family, and
is almost as proud of them as he is of
his wife. AS for himself, he is very
modest.
She is the best little wife in the
world he said. II married her when
she was only fourteen, but we had
known each other since we were child
rem, and she was quite big girl then.
We grow big up here on the top of the
mountain" he said, surveying his
ample girth.
Mrs. Swartwood's first child was born
fourteen months after her marriage,
and there have been but five years
since during which the household has
failed to be blessed with a babe. These
years were 1874, 1883, 1887, 1888 and 1896
But two OF them were in succession,
and in the succeeding year twins were
born. OF all the twenty-four children
there were but two sets of twins, and

1864, she married William de Priest
They had two children, both boys, AL
len and Albert, and after six years If
married life De Priest died of spinal
trouble.
Her next husband was Francis Mil
ligan, and she married him January Ii,
1870 They had two children, a boy
and girl, both living. Milligan died
of typhoid fever October q, 1888.
She became Mrs. James Neff April
8, 1886, and. as told, he disappeared six
months later She secured a divorce
in 1887 at Bolivar, Mo-. and the same
day married Jacob Crozier.
A peculiar fact about her marriage
to Neff was that she was at the same
time engaged to marry man named
Doyle, who lives near Humansville. She
set the day, April 3, and made up her
mind to marry whoever came first. Neff
was the lucky man, and just as the
minister, her present husband, pro-
nounced them man and wife, Doyle

in his hand. Neff laughed aloud and

of this remarkable woman, is rs years
old, four years younger than her latest
son-in-law. She has had three daugh-
tiers and ten sons in law.
Mrs. Smith was born in Caldwell
County, November IL, 1S43. and raised
in Harrison County. At the age of Is
years she married George H. Vice, De-

MRS. SMITH AND HER SEVEN HUSBANDS

Now Woodruff is in prison at Buffalo,
n. Y. He married once too often.
Brigham Young, the high priest OF
Mormonism, with all his facilities Tor
plural marriage, had only twenty-six
wives. he was a tenderfoot in comparl-
son with Woodruff. There probably
was never a more successful winner
of women than this man; probably no
man who ever had a more delicate,
more subtle affection of manner. To
meet a woman and marry her in an
hour is. his record for facility; to WOO
and marry half a hundred women is
his record of success.
When he was middle-aged and at
tractive, dressing as he did in the
height Of fashion, it was his diversion
to captivate a woman, young or old, to
tell her that he loved her as he had
never loved another, and to marry her
in a few hours. or perchance in Few
days, only to desert her.
Mr.. Woodruff is student and
philosopher of love. and this is the
statement he makes of the secret
''Woman's weakness, not any accom-
plishment or appearance of mine. is the
cause of my success in winning hearts.
Women are frail things at best.
Take women when they get to be 40,
and almost anybody can win them.
They want to be won. Under 80 1t is
harder to win them, but still it can be
done if person is patient.
Tell them they are good-looking, of
course; any schoolboy knows that is
the first rudiment Of success with
women.
'"There is another factor which can
not describe. 1t might be called mans
ensemble. 1t is his makeup, his ap-
pearance, his manner, his way of talk
ing his way of looking.-a mans eyes,
you know, are what work havoc with
women if they are used right. You can
not acquire these personalities. They
are born in man.
women differ some, too. For in
stance, simpleness of manner might
impress one, while another might be
captivated by mysterious, self know
ing air. First, you want to study the
woman. l remember but one whom
could not understand. I can usually
read them at a glance. This one of
whom 1 speak baffied me, though. No,
l didn't marry her.
THE man that married her was up to
date. She wanted me to make million
oathbound promises, and I wouldn't do
that for any one. I might make a few,
but not many. One has to make enough
when he's married. / have made a
study of emotions in women and of
their tastes and likings, because I
found interest in the pursuit.
Woodruff pushed his numerous court
ships with vigorous alacrity. 1t seldom
took him over two days after he had
met woman for the first time to close
up the marriage bargain and lead her
to the altar. It was in 1889 that Wood
ruff achieved his especial notoriety.
One day he was descending in the ele-

You're just five minutes too late
She has been sorry ever since she
didn't take Doyle. He is living in st.
Clair County now, is wealthy, and has
got over his disappointment.
One child, a girl, was the result OF her
union with Crozier, but she died IN in
fancy. Crozier died october IA, 1892,
of consumption.
Mrs Crozier took her sixth matrimo-
NAL step October 5. 1894, when she mar
ried G.. w. Dougherty He died Janu-
airy 13, 1897.
All her husbands were farmers and
fairly wealthy.
Besides marrying her to Nen, her
present husband officiated at the fu-
neral of Crozier and Dougherty and
baptized several of her children.

A German farmer residing near Spo-
kane has achieved quite a reputation
as an unconscious wit, and this anec-
dote is good enough to be entitled to a
place in classic story:
The German and his assistant were
hard at work digging potatoes, and
while engaged in this laborious indus
try their two dogs disported about the
premises, racing about furiously as
dogs will in a playful mood. The as
sistant watched them for a minute.
then ventured the sociological observa-
ton:
Il believe dogs enjoy themselves more
than men,"
Wy, of course quoth the farmer. in
a tone that implied a settled belief in
the soundness of this view of the ques-
ton, but We can't all be dogs. The
Dilettante.

out with her, won her completely, and
married her. The entire proceeding
had occupied just an hour. He desert
ed her two days later. Mrs Sample is
now living in Aver, Mass, under her
old name.
Mr.. Woodruff married, so far as de-
tectives have been able to learn, five
women in Buffalo. 1t is believed, how
ever, that he figured in at least dozen
weddings there His greatest success
took place while he was stationed at
the United States Hotel advertising for
young women to go on the stage. In
answer TO his advertisement a young
woman named Rowell called at his
rooms and was SO pleased with him
that she took him to the home of her
aunt, Miss Schmintzins, and introduced
him to her. In two days Woodruff and
Miss Schmintzins were married.
After leaving Buffalo in 1890 or 1891
Woodruff travelled all over the coun-
try, returning to Buffalo every few
