TILTED FATHER FOR SON.

Duncan, aged nineteen, whose marriage
to Alfred Higgins, ffty-One years old,
was announced to take place on June "a,
disappeared from home a little more
than two weeks ago. A few days later
she called upon a sister in Louisville,
Ky, and said she intended spending a
short time with each of her friends in
that city before marriage, as she was
not likely to see them soon again. This
set her people at ease till yesterday,
when Mr.. Duncan received n letter
from her dated at Great Bend. Kans.,
telling him that she and Fred Higgins,
son of Alfred Higgins, We're happily
married. Alfred Higgins is a well to
do farmer; the son is a hired man on a
Kansas farm.-Chicago Record.

view of the contention of the anti-Sem-
ties that the Jew will never hight for his
country, the career of Sergeant Major
Morris should be of interest to Il wider
circle than his own kinsfolk. When the
Spanish war started he went 10 Cuba
and after its surrender got his dis
charge, entered a United States cavalry
regiment and went to Manila. When
the Boer war broke out Morris left the
swamps and rice fields of LuZon for the
Veldt and Joined a British irregular
corps as a private. He was soon made
sergeant major, and Lord Kitchener
took him to Prieska, where he was
highly complimented on the handling
of his men.
