Mrs. Chas. Williams, at 1917, w.
First avenue, Emporia, Kans., wants
to learn the whereabouts of her hus-
band, who was in Neihart last March.
He was mixed up in the Mccoy lay
out, and lost $50 due him as wages.
He left here suddenly and two letters
from Mrs. Williams were returned to
her from the Neihart p~ostoffice as un-
claimed. She says she was begging
him to come home, and he, suffering
the effects of all kinds of luck, in the
early spring ceased altogether to
write. He served last winter as fire.
man for the G. N, with headquart-
ers at Great Falls. Can anyone give
the information required in the case
OF Cnas. Williams? If so, let him
leave word with the HERALD, or
write the wife at the above address.

There are some very remarkable In
stances Of people who have been mar
ried large number Of times. and also
Of husbands and wives who have lived
together to an extraordinary age. St.
Jerome mentions n woman who mar
ried her twcnty-second husband. who,
in his turn. had been married to 20
wives. There Is an instance recorded
in Bordeaux. in 1772, of man who
had been married 16 times. A woman
named Elizabeth Nasc. who died In
Florence in l76S had been married to
seven husbands. her last wedding TAX
ing place when she was 20 years OF
age.
Numerous cases exist all over the
world Of people who have been mar
ried four. five or six times. In 176S n
couple was living In Essex who had
been married 81 years. the husband
being lOI years old and his wife only
four years younger These cases are
also not Isolated ones, and 1t Is some
what remarkable that IN most OF such
instances when one has died the sur
vivor has died the next day.-Cincin-

According to the news columns Of

been greatly annoyed while on his out

shots Of him on every possible occa-
sion. Some have suggested that the
offenders should be punished for dis

Fun For the NeIghbOrs.

4 youth in the east end caused quite
a sensation few days since by start
ing out rs an amateur mail carrier. His
mother had placed large number OF
letters which she had received from
her husband before marriage in box
and stored the box in a closet in her
room. The precocious youth found the
box, and seeing SO many letters con
celvpd the idea of establishing post
route in opposition to Uncle Sam. He
filled a small wagon with the missives
and unknown to his mother started out
on his route. lie was industrious, and
called ut every house in the block, leav-
ing letter at each one.
When the hopeful was returning he
was met by his mother and asked
where he had been. He promptly re-
piled he was playing letter carrier and
volunteered the information that he
had found n lot OF letters in n closet
up stairs and had left one at every
house" The mother had premonition.
She hurried UP stairs and discovered
that all the antenuptial m!ssives which
she had SO carefully preserved had

The Eskimos who live on the west
coast of Greenland between Melville
bay and Kane basin are the most
northerly human beings on the face
Of the globe. and in many ways they
live almost like animals. Their only

of meat. blubbcr and blood.
They have no vegetation Of any kind,
and not even a pinch OF salt. Lieuten-

Of that city for permission to erect on
