osGooD's DUAL LIFE.
His Wife Charges Him With Bigamy,
His Employers With En-
beZzlemert.

George L. Osgood, late commercial trav-
eler forSSeegelken & Buckner, the jack
son-street liquor merchants, has sufficient
trouble on hand at the present time to
keep him busy for some time. Osgood's
late employers have charged him with
embezzlement, and. while he has been en-
deavoring to extricate himself from this
mess his young wife, or at least wife No.
e., has confronted him with a charge of
bigamy and intimates arrest and proSecu-
ton, much to his discontinue.
Relatives have agreed to make good OS-
goods shortage. Mr.. Seegelken affirmed
last evening, and although Seegelken was
determined up to short time ago to pros
ecute his salesman, proceedings against
him will"probably be dropped and he Will
be allowed to go free. Such an amicable
settlement has not been reached with Mrs.
Osgood, however. She claims that her
husband had wife living when he mar
ried her and can establish the fact that
wife No. is still living. What the out
come will be no one knows. 1t all rests
with Osgood's late employers and the
young woman who claims he has deceived
her. They may be disposed to be lenient,
but they may not, and in this rests the
outcome.

BLOOD AND TOMATOES
A Supposed Tragedy That Proved 20
he a Perfectly Harmless
Affair.

Unusual excitement disturbed the
quiet of Philadelphia residence one
recent Sunday evening, resulting in the
hurried visits of policeman and two
doctors to the house. Just as the man
of the house and his wife reached the
front step on the way home from
church the door was hurriedly thrown
open and out rushed the cook, who
called for 'help!" When she saw her
mistress she declared between sobs that
the kitchen range had exploded and
that her cousin had been killed. The
mistress ran into the kitchen after
sending her husband for the doctors
and found the place covered with ashes
and young man apparently half-dead
lying in a chair in front of the range.
His head and face were apparently GOV.
cred with blood, but IL was soon discoy-
cred that he was still alive, as he said
he was only stunned. The housewife
Immediately set to work to wash the
mans head and face to prepare him
for the doctors, but she was moved
to merrimcnt when ss1s founi-+hat the
supposed blood was only tomato juice.
In truth the cousin was not injured
at all. The explanation was that the.
cook had placed can of tomatoes I'M

the lid and that the explosion, which
scattered the ashes and tomatoes, fol-
lowed the expansion OF the frozen liquid
in the can. When the policeman and
doctors arrived they we're told the

AN UNFORTUNATE POET.
He UncOnsciOusly DestOws the Sui
tan's Rich Gift Upon Beg-
gmrs at His Door.

It was a common practice century
ago to conceal the real value Of pres
ent. A good story in illustration of
this is told of Sir John Maynard, a
shining legal light Of those days.
Two farmers had grievance about
which they were compelled to go to
law. One Of them prepared basket
full of beautiful pippins and presented
them to the great lawyer. They were
graciously received, and Sir John, talk
ing one Of the apples, split it in two,
and found therein golden sovereign.
They were golden pippins. indeed!
The retainer was all that could be
desired, and the lawyer engaged to de-
fend his client. Shortly after this there
came also to Sir John the other farm
err with ine sucking pig. When this
was turned over II was found TO be
stuffed with 50 sovereigns. The gift,
however, had to be refused, as the law
yer was already retained.
In striking contrast to this was the
action Of the famous Spanish poet,
Sidi Iben Sarki. This happened not so
many years ago. The poet was living in
Fec, and desiring to show his appreci-
alton Of the ruler OF the country, he
wrote a long poem extolling the vir-
tues Of the sultan Of Morocco and sent
II TO him.
The sultan, Muley Hassan, was so
pleased with the act that he presented
the poet with gift OF four loaves of
black bread. Now. in Morocco, the
present of a loaf of black bread from
the sultan Is one OF the highest honors
that can be conferred. The naughty
poet. however. would very likely have
appreciated purse in which the gold
could be heard climbing, and he was so
chagrined that he gave the loaves away
TO beggars who knocked at his door
for aims.
Judge of his modification when he
learned some days later that each loaf
had contained 100 ducats which the
sultan had ordered to be placed therein
before the baking. Verify, IL would
have been wise 10 have accepted the
crumbs of comfort, such as were Of
fered. with all thankfulness.-Cinc
