NOBLE DEED OF A WIFE.

RED Out of his trifiing earnings he and
his wife had managed to keep together,
after the fashion of the very poor in a
great city, the kind of a home that such
people find their only barrier against the
great open world. Such furniture as the
young couple had was necessarily bought
on the installment plan. At last there
came the event that means the first true
glimpse of paradise to young people who
are better circumstanced. In the despair
of poverty the young husband sold some
of his furniture to meet necessary eX-
penses. Then the installment man, learn
ing what had happened, visited the hus-
band with threats of all that the law
could do. The man, who had become
one kind of a criminal that his dearest
ones might live, pleaded for a little time.
His friends, as poor as himself, went to
the creditor, promising to nave "bene-
fit" at which the necessary pound of
flesh would be produced. Instead, Brown
went to Jail for six weeks at hard labor,
and his wife, with her baby in her arms.

route on which her husband had for

tably inclined people went out of their
way to buy her printed wares but her
best customers We're her neighbors, who
pooled their means to form a limited yet
grand syndicate for the purchase OF
newspapers that at other times these
people considered beyond their means.

MRS. HARRY GILLIG

Once Enlivened Honolulu With
Her Lavish Display of

NEW YORK, May 15.--Mrs. Harry
NJ Gillig has married again. Her third
husband is Jackson Gouraud, the song
writer, who came here from London
four years ago and attained a moder-
ate success as music author. The
wedding took place quietly in London
on May /, but the fact was not known
here until today. From London they
went to Paris and took apartments at
the Hotel Scribe, where they are now
said to be living. 1t is not known that
they took any precaution to prevent
the fact of their marriage from being
published, but their friends in this city
who heard the news for the first time
today were surprised. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gouraud are expected to sail for New
York about June 18th, and it is as
sumed that La Hacienda, the beautlfui
villa of the former Mrs. Gllllg, al
Larchmont Manor, will be made ready
for the continuance OF the honeymoon
Mrs. Gournaud was Miss Amy Crock

Time in His Career When He Needed
the Wherewithal.
Gen. W. H. l.. Barnes, one of the lead
ers of the San Francisco bar, at a meet
ing of the California commandery of
the Military Order of the Loyal Legion,
told the following story about General
Grant. 1t was told years ago to Gen
eral Barnes by Captain Richard L. Og-
den, once a clerk in the office of the
United States quartermaster at San
Francisco, and General Barnes recently
copied it from Captain Ogden's diary,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
1t was that when Grant resigned his
commission as captain, at the age of 80,
being then in Oregon, he went to San
Francisco on his way home and pre-
sented to Captain Ogden a certificate
of per diem service on a court-martial
amounting to about $40. The certificate
was incorrectly drawn and Grant with
look of despair asked Captain Ogden's
permission to sleep on the lounge in the
latter's office, saying he had.not a cent
to his name. He slept on the rickety
office lounge, and Ogden agreed to cash
the certificate personally and to send it
back to Ogden for correction. Grant
had expected to buy passage for him
self to New York in the steerage, but
Ogden went with him to the Pacific
Mail steamship office and procured for
him a cabin passage pass, or what was
the nearest to it the steamship company
could give, for Grant had to pay his
railroad fare across the isthmus. This,
however, left him $15 and Grant was
very grateful.
The diary quotes him as saying to
Captain Ogden: "This is a great lux
ury and what 1 did not expect and
am indebted to you for it. The pros
pect of ever being able to reciprocate
is certainly remote, but strange things
happen in this world and there is no
knowing"

BIRDS THAT KILL RATTLERS.
Road Runners of Arizona a Deadly
Enemy to the Snakes.

Road Runners of Arizona a Deadly
Enemy to the Snakes.
In country where q quarter of a
century ago a rattlesnake was to be
found under every rock and in every
hillock, the reptile is rapidly becoming
a rarity. With his human relative, the
Apache, the RATHER is disappearing
from Arizona and is now found only
in the most isolated districts.
To the advance of civilization and the
unremittfng warfare of the road run
ner and the king snake may be attrib-
uted the determination of the RATHER.
Wherever irrigation has found its way.
the rattlesnake has been driven to
higher ground, and there the prospect
or and miner have slain him whenever
and wherever found. The road runner,
that long-legged, feathered warrior, the
fighting cock of the desert, has done
his part, and has done it well.
Much resembling, but more lightly
constructed than the fighting cock, the
road runner is one of the most dreaded
enemies of the RATHER. In fact, so
great are his snake-killing proclivities
that heavy penalties are provided by
the territorial statutes as a protection
to him from the gun of the hunter. Ap-
parently immune from the venom in
the poison sac of the rattler, the road
runner attacks the largest snake with
impunity, and has never been known to
lose a fight. Frequently, indeed, the
road runner has been known to battle
with and kill pair of large diamond
rattlers, whose total weight was five
times that of his own.
Not so common an enemy to the
rattlesnake, but no less deadly, is the
king snake, a large species of the bull
snake family. Rarely seen in the lower
countries, but often found in the North
ern forests and higher mountains, the
king snake wages constant warfare on
the RATHER, and when his great 1.-THE

a Remarkable Family.

John Chandler, who resides in Allen
County, is the father of Twenty-Five
children, twenty-one of whom are liv-
ing and have families. These twenty
one children have an average of five
children to each family, thus making
Mr. Chandler the grandfather of 105
persons But this is not the full extent
of his offspring, for he has thrty-five
greatgrandchildren, so it will be seen
that Mr.. Chandler stands pater fami-
las of 162-an achievement rarely
equaled. 1t is certainly not paralleled
when the fact is considered that the
members of this large family are all
living.
Mr. Chandler is 4 remarkable man In
several other respects. Although 10
years of age and residing in the hills
of Allen County, he reads current liter
allure and keeps himself informed on
the leading topics of the day. His eye
sight is perfect. and he reads the finest
print without the aid of glasses. He
is an expert rifle shot, and spends
great deal of his time squirrel hunting.
He cast his first ballot for n Presiden-
tial candidate in 1873 for Taylor. the

years has voted the Democratic ticket.

THE LOST GARDEN.

Somewhere in the distant southland
Blooms a garden-lost to me-
Warm with peoples burning fragrant,
Drowsy fires L may not see.
Subtle shadows fit and beckon
Down dim pathways bound with yew.
Where a white wrath wanders lonely
'TwiXt the darkness and the dew.
In the ruined walls that echoed
Once to happy-hearted moods,
Now the stealthy, lightfoot lizards
Unmolested rear their broods.
And beneath the oleanders,
No clear voice sings, as of old;
But the fleet caressfng sunbeams
Whisper secrets to their mold.
Though L follow as the southwind
Fares his way through wood and plain
Though l question hill and valley,
shall never find again
MY lost garden-where lie buried
Joys that swift the glad hours sped;
Only one could bid me enter;
Only Love-and Love is dead!
