paper recently brought together the
two rather unusual names OF cheet-
ham and Court. and ever since the
wits have been constituting them Into
various phrases. The religious editor
came i'm this morning with broad
smile on his benign countenance and
said that "Cheetham, in his rivalry
for the girls hand. with several other
suitors, may have tried to cheat EN- by
using his suggestive name. or by other
unfair means. but as they carried the
affair To court, and Cheetham received
n favorable verdict, the matter may
be said TO be at an end" Not a sound
was heard, not "A paper rustled, as
he left the room. but as his footsteps
died away a chuckle and the following
audible remark came floating back:

WELL KEPT SECRET
Marriage That Has just Been Made
Public at Kansas
City.

Kansas City, Dec. 2S.-The mar
riage of C. Reed Murray, of this city,
and Miss Nancy E. Washburne, of Chi
cago which took place five years ago,
was made public for the first time
Christmas night. Murray is a son Of
Peter Murray, of the grocery firm of
Guernsey x Murray. The denGue-
ment came at Il Christmas celebration
at the Murray home, 1922 Brooklyn
avenue.
The reasons for keeping the marriage
n secret was due to fear of the dis
pleasure of the young mans father,
who was known never to forgive an
act of filial disObedience. This fear
was based on the fact that sister
of young Murray had NOT received for
giveness for marrying against her ia
Tiers will ten years ago.

FIGURES ON MAINTAINING OF COLONIES
BOOK ISSUED TO SHOW THEY ARE PROFITABLE

To SzSS UOO.O .OUU IN ISJy-an additional
evidence of the growth of prosperity
and thrift among the people of the
colonies. When it is seen from official
reports that in India alone the number
of pOstofficeS has grown from 153 in
1856 to 29.122 i'm 1899, and that the
number of pieces received by the post
offices increased from 15.000,OO0 in 1860
to 4S9.OOO.COO in 1899, the development
of intercOmmunicatiOn and of mental
as well us business activity among the
people may be measured to some eX-
tent.
Another evidence of the same con-
dition is seen in the fact that tele-
graph lines in the British colonies
have grown from 115.000 miles in 1899
10 over 10000 miles in 1899. thus in
creasing their length in a single de-
cade by more than the distance around
the earth: and that the telephone lines
in those colonies now aggregate more
than 10000 miles.
when il is further considered that
the total number of pupils in the
100000. against about 3.JC0.000 in
1888. and that the expenditure for pub
lie instruction in 1899 was 36.215 000
rupees. against 394. 600 rupees in 1858.
the growth of education and educatiOn-
nj facilities viii be realized to some eX-
tent. while additional evidence of the
general intelligence will be found in
the fact that the number of vernacu-
lar newspapers published in India in
1897 was T.,S and the number of books
and magazines published in 1898 was
7.43T. of which G,236 We're i'm the na-

The package was not opened in New

Hire Expert Cook to Do Cooking for
Five Separate Families.
Sioux City, Ia, Dec. 2S.-Driven to
desperation by a famine in servant
girls. the housewives here have re-
sorted to cooperative housekeeping.
The first cooperative institution was
started Thursday by five families in
Morningside. the fashionable residence
district. An expert cook has been
hired and house rented. where the
meals are prepared for each of the five
families. The housewives take turns
in selecting the bill of fare. so a va
riety is assured. Not only do the
families have fine cooking and service,
but they ecOnOmize in fuel and appur-
tenanceS.
This is but a temporary plan in lieu
of more extensive project promoted
by Mrs. Julia Clark Hallam, president
of the Mothers Child Study club, to
establish large central cooking sta
tions. All the materials viii be
bought wholesale and prepared by
chefs and assistants. Delivery wagons
will carry the food to the homes in
asbestos dishes.
