MARTHA wAsHINGrON's FIRST
HUSBAND,

"Westover is perhaps the most bcanti-
ful Of all the cl bra cd Colonial homes
ot Virginia." writep Mrs. Thaddeus Hort.
on. in the October Lndies' Huma Jour
nal. at was built by William Byrd, "a
Virginian Of Virginians. The greatest
OF his many claims to distinction wa
his beautiful aud beloved daughter
Evelyn, perhaps the most celebrated
belle OF that day. She wn- educated in
England, whittier she accompanied her
father on sln,ost all OF his trips M Colo
NAL agent, and was presented at the
court of Gssrge |. See hnd m my lovers,
and naturally many offers OIL nasrr)age
from men-of distinctiol 10 the Old Do-
minion, for she was not only beauty
but an heiress. Her heart, however.
was given, so tbs said, to her cousin,
Colonel John Custs, with whom she had
childish love affair. but whom she had
not seen for some years, and she refused
positively to marry any other man.
Finally, quite in despair, her devoted
father sought to arrange u marriage
between her and the gallant Colonel
Custis. For some reason that gentle
man was quite indifferent to the match,
and refused it altogether. 1t came to
light later, that during the years Of
their separation his fancy had become
estranged from his ers,while favorite
Cousin Evelyn, and he was at the time
OF the overture from her father deeply
in love with one Martha Dandrigc,
who soon afterwaid became his wife,
and subsequently the wife OF the iiluatri-
Gus George Washington. The beautiful
Evelys, on learning OF Colonel Custis's
indifference, pined aud iuded, and in
spite OF all the love lavirhed upon her by
friends and family, died Of IA broken
heart. and her body now rests in the old
burying ground at Westover."

The men leased the monkey, and one
allowed him his hat to take off and put
on again, the monkey hopping all about
him, even on to his head. The little
rascal seemed bent on certain mischief,
as he eyed the hostess. Suddenly he
sprang from the mans shoulder, and,
quick as lightning, he had literally
snatched bald the screaming widow.
There was terrible CONSERVATION as
the wretched monkey danced about
the pavement with beautiful blond
wig in his grasp, and the widow, with
.aer own short black hair, madly rushed
Indoors.
The consequences can better be imag-
fned than described. But if there was
ever intelligence or intuition displayed
by lower animal, it assuredly was
manifested by that miserable little
street monkey

A MONKEYS VICTIM.
Attractive Cincinnati Widow IL
snntched RsIdheaded by Mis-
chicvous Little simian.

There's an attractive young widow
on Eighth street, at Cincinnati, who
had her matrimonial chances almost
ruined recently by the sportiveness of
a red-capped monkey going about with
his master. This widow is buxom,
and possessed of fair amount of this
worlds goods, and, being of lively dis
position and sociable, she naturally has
many admirers and some wooers.
A few days ago, says the Commercial
Tribune, she gave sort of musical en-
tertainment in her parlors, when were
present a dozen or more friends, among
them two men whom she was particu-
larry anxious to impress favorably, for,
be it said sub rosa, she wants to marry
again.
All went well until an organ grinder
and monk set up before the house.

the man and its little neck craned In
the most beseeching attitude. This
continued until several peanuts had dis
appeared. Then the observer said:
did you train this squirrel? Does II
know you?"
"No," was the reply, anyone can call
these little fellows If they only know
how" and handing q nut to woman,
he added: Take quarter of it in your
fingers and hold it out so, and pretend
to throw it."
The squirrel had retreated to the OPP
posite edge of the walk during this con-
versation, but kept very keen eye on
the two people. When the new friend
tried to entice him, he was. not sure
about things, and expressed his uncer-
tainty and indecision by many pretty
whisks and maneuvers, but finally,
with the air of a squirrel who would
say faint squirrel never won fair nut,
he darted toward the outstretched NOR
sci, seized it, and, sitting on his hind
feet, ate it all.
Just as he had decided to accept ar
other fragment he discovered in the
grass another and larger nut, and, with
"a most businesslike air, he picked it up,
carried it into the middle of the lawn
ana buried Il. Then he returned for
more peanuts.

Dove Hardy begged her to go to Balti-
tmore with him and become his wife.
Hesitating but a moment, she hurriedly
donned her handsomest gown-a white
-confection of fluffy white laces-and on
q morning train she fled to the monu-
mental city with Hardy. The procure
meDt of the marriage license was at
tended with no difficulty, as they both
presented themselves to the marriage
clerk. Hardy left her at the Hotel Rem
inert while he hunted up minister of
Aer Acknowledgements. The church
iorganist also was found and feed lib
icrally 10 play the soft, pleading tones
toa Mendelssohn's famous march as the
bridal couple, unattended, walked from
THE door to the chancel. 1t was all as
iAhe had arranged. There was no wed
ding ring. The ceremony did not re-
squire 1t, nor did she in her agitation
Remand It.
From the church they FASTENED in a
carriage back to the Baltimore & Ohio
depot. They had been in Baltimore
4only five hours. She had been his bride
fonly the length of time required to ride
prom the church to the train which bore
her back to Washington, when, assist
ing her into car, Hardy spoke the
words which sent her home with her
heart crushed and bleeding.
Il do not love you, (" he said, cas- hus.
foand should love a wife. You see, !
didn't want wife at all. All wanted
was to freeze out those other fellows. /
ioouldn't bear the thought of seeing you
married to another man. l3ood-bv for
lever."
| With this Hardy darted back into the
crowd. Scarcely realizing the terrible
import of his words, she staggered, half
1ainting, into the car. She sat like one
tdazed as the train rumbled back into
Washington. Not hint of the mar.
iriage did she give anyone. Hoping
against hope, she nursed the singing
secret in her bosom for year, believ-
Ing that her husband would come to
claim her. Finally she told her great Sc
'cret to a girl friend and showed the
marriage certificate. Soon it became
KNOWN in her whole circle of acquaint-
lances.
Hardy, telegraph operator, disap-
!peared from Washington for three
years after his strange conduct. Sew
ieral times during the last two years
Hardy has been in Washington and re-
manned several weeks. On neither oc-
isasion did he call upon his widowed
wife. Once abe met him face to face in
Pennsylvania avenue. He bowed to her
like a Chesterfield and lost himself in
the crowd. In despair, Mrs. Hardy has
sued him for dicorce.
