dates back eight years, when the poet
wasa stalwart student at the Kentucky
State college in Lexington. He had just
attained his majority when he. hrst met
Miss Richardson at a party. She was
the belle Of the evening and he splen-
did specimen of the young Kentuckian.
It was a case of love at first sight.
Miss Richardson had been In society
several years, had been petted and
toasted by the society dudes Until she
was tired of the insipid youngsters. 1t
was no wonder, then, that she admired
handsome young Ellis. He is probably
an inch above six feet in height. as
straight as an Indian and the very per-
sonification of perfect young manhood.
Besides, he is highly accomplished IN
music and literature-in fact. he is
genius. He conposes music as readily
| as Mozart or Beethoven, improvises
on the piano as easily as List, and
he can write poetry as easily as the
average man can write prose. He has
prodigius memory and can recite
all the best poems of the leading poets.
He and Miss Richardson were thrown
in each others company a great deal
during his last years at college and
their engagement was soon known to
their intimate friends. 1t seemed as
II the course of their true love would,
contrary to the old adage, run smooth
~, but Miss Richardson went to visit
her sister, Mrs. Forney, whose husband
was an attache of the Brooklyn navy
yard. She was introduced into Brook
Ign society and when her sister visited
Washington and Philadelphia she went
with her. In both these cities she soon
became a social favorite, owing to her
great beauty and many accomplish
ments. Naval officers, congressman,
members of legations and other society
men were charmed with her beauty
and vivacity and 1t was not long un-
til Congressman Bennett Of Brooklyn,
began to pay her such marked atten-
ton that it soon became reported that
they were engaged to be married.
Young Ellis had wondered at the in
frequency of her letters and at their
brevity, and he was not surprised when
the report reached him that his sweet
heart was engaged to be married to the
Brooklyn congressman. 1t was cruel
blow to the sensitive young man, but
he calmly wrote Miss Richardson to the
effect that he would release all claims
to her hand. After writing this letter
he left Kentucky and wandered aim
lessly over several of the western states
teaching school, writing poetry and
trying to forget his love affair with
the pretty Miss Richardson. He never
heard from her except through the
society columns of the newspapers.
when her name would be mentioned
in connection with some brilliant re-
ception at Washington or Brooklyn or
Philadelphia or Boston. Miss Richard
sons visit ended and she returned to
her home in Lexington. She had been
promised by ex-Secretary Herbert the
honor of christening the battleship
Kentucky. The newspapers from one
end of the country to the other had

Italy is said to have more bigamists
than any other European country.
This is made possible because the
church refuses to recognize civil mar
riages, and the state does not regard
a church marriage as binding. The
result is that INSCRIPTIONS men marry
two wives-one with the sanction Of
the church. the other with the sane
ton of the law.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
lit ION n Porto Rico Promises to Force
the Experiment

WASiINGTON. Dec. 9.--The situation
in Porto Rico promises to force on this
government. for a time at least. the ex-
pertinent OF a federal ownership Of tel
egraph and telephone lines. The wal
department now controls all lines in
Porto Rico and in the evacuated sec.
lions Of Cuba. The latter, however, is
looked upon as merely transient. In
both places the lines are being repaired
and the government is handling com.
mercial messages after government mat.
ter. The signal service in charge Of this
work says it is too soon to draw cOnclu.
sions as to the expense Of the service. a.
the cost Of maintenance and long de
layed repairs is just now more than the
income from the lines.
But in six months from the beginning
Of the new year, the signal service ex.
poets to be able to furnish some inter
esting data as to the profit in the insula1
wire service. The military occupation
Of the lines will naturally continue un
til the establishment Of a civil govern
ment, and considerable interest is ex'
pressed as to how the management o.
the lines will be disposed eventually, o.
whether it will be permanently retained
by the government. This enforced OBJ
ject lesson in federal management il
naturally expected to have considerable
influence pro or con in the agitation fol
like control in this country. The sigma
service reports the commercial business
on the island wires light at present
owing to disturbed business conditions
but all Of this is expeditiously and salts
factorily handled by the government.
