Deoth of the Woman Who Was the
"Littie Giants" Wife.
Mrs. Robert williams, formerly the
wife of Stephen A. Douglas, the Little
Giant Of the Democratic party, ana
Lincoln's opponent IN the Presidential
campaign of 1860, died in Washington
a short time ago. Some years after
Douglas death she married former Al
infant General Robert Williams. AS
the wife of Senator Douglas she was
famous in fashionable and political cir
Giles for her beauty and her wit. When
the Little Giant made his famous
campaign his wife accompanied him.
and by her tact and keen Intuition
made herself strong factor in his
chances Of success. 1t was said that
during the exciting times before and
during the civil war Mrs. Douglas
never made an enemy, although placed
in many a trying situation.
Mrs. williams was the daughter OF
]. NJ. Cults, Comptroller Of the Treas
ury in the sos. She was a girl of won
derful personal charm. Tall, slender,
and wlllowy, with a head and face Of
almost pure Greek type, there was
rare gentleness in the gaze of her beau

tesy, that made her a popular idol
Senator Douglas was a widOwer when
he married the beautiful Adele Cults,
with whom he fell desperately in love
at first sight at a reception at the
White House.
After Senator Douglas death, his
widow, who was an ardent Roman
Catholic, retired from society, and for
some time resided the greater part OF
her time, after the French custom, in
a convent. 1t was whispered that the
beautiful young widow was to become
a nun. the Pope having, it was said,

all human things in this land. The old
campaign fever caught Clews and held
him fast. He must go out, he said, and
by and by at the head of his COMPANY
he rode away to join the Army of the
Potomac.
Mr.. Clews was with Gems. Grant and

were moved down like sheep. under
the unerrlng hail of Confederate bullets.
He was at the taking of Vicksburg. and

married. For many years he wandered
over the country. finally settling in
Cincinnati. He never brought to her
mind and her heart the knowledge that
he was alive. but cherished the memory
of his only love.
Three years ago one OF those strange
accidents which sometimes bless the
unprotected people of this world
brought the lovers together again. It
was at reunion of army veterans that
Mrs. Jennings. now widow, and Mr..
Clews were formally introduced.
As her eyes fell upon his face she
gave little hysterical cry and laugh
and fell into his arms.

1t Is a curious fact that st. Patrick,
the patron saint Of Ireland, was born
IN France. In some quarters the exist

TONED, owing to the exaggeration OF
his overzealous biographers, but It is
susceptible Of proof that there was
ST. Patrick, and that he was a wonder
worker in his time.
St. Patrick lived and died at a time
so remote in the worlds history as to
have made his name little more than a
tradition, even in ecclesiastical records.

End of Romance that Had It's Origin
In LincoIn's Illinois Home.

John d. Clews, aged 1O2 years, a for.
mer resident Of Springfield, ILL.,, was
married at Franklin, Pa, recently, to
Sarah Jennings, 100 years old, who at
one time was a member of Abraham
Lincoln's household. Despite their adj
vaneed years, Mr.. and Mrs. Clews are
still sprightly and active.
Behind this singular marriage lies a
little romance Of the war; tending to
show that the course Of true love will
generally end in happiness, even after
the trials and storms of a hundred
years. 1t was in Springfield, H., that
they met. John ID. Clews, born in
Richmond and tied down to the law,
had ever displayed a weakness for the
life of the soldier, and when, in 1916,
the Mexican war broke out. he enlisted
as private, won his commission, and
returned to Richmond wearing a cap
tain's epaulets.
1t was some years later when, as a
gray-haired, thoughtful man Of 60, he
began the practice of law in Spring
field, where Abraham Lincoln lived.
Mr. Lincoln and Mr.. Clews often met
in court, and this, with the aboltionist
agitation, then at its height, formed
the bond that was to end only with the
assassination Of the President. Estab-
lished in Mr.. Lincoln's home was Miss
jackson, a stately, grave, handsome
dame, relative of Andrew Jackson,
and carrying some of the indomitable
expressions Of "Old Hickory" in her
face.
Between Mr.. Clews and Miss Jackson
there arose an attachment and 1t is
probable that they would then have

st. Patrick is said by some historians
OF the church to have lived to the great
age Of 1874 years. But this statement

Did you know that there are many
