Women Many Times Married

There are some very remarkable in
stances of people who have been mar
ried n large number Of times. and also
of husbands and wives who have lived
together to an extraordinary age. st.
Jerome mentions a woman who mar
ried her twenty-Second husband. who.
in his turn, had been married TO 20
wives. There is an instance recorded
in Bordeaux, in 17T2, OF a man who
had been married Is times. \ woman
named Elizabeth Nase who died in
Florence in 1868, had been married TO
seven husbands, her last wedding tax
ing place when she was 40 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 107 years old and his wife only
four years younger. These cases are
also not isolated ones. and ii is some
what remarkable that I'm most of such
instances when one has died the sur
vivor has died the next day.-Cincin-

turning late At night from n social
function down at the lower end of the
old Colony railroad. She took TO the
track rs the shortest way home, but in
crossing n small trcStle above the coun-
try road she made a miSstep ana in
falling broke her neck. The next day
her husband called on the superin-
tendent. and while not appearing to be
very deeply grieved over his loss, yet
he felt that he was entitled to some
compensation for the untimely ending
of his wife.
"She was trespasSing." replied the
superintendent, (which relieves the
