Engineer "Got the Old Lady"

The president of an Eastern railroad
tells of an engineer of a fast freight
train who called on him one day and
asked him to prevent deaf old woman
from walking on the tracks along one
section of, that division. Several times
the engineer had barely missed run
ming over her, and he was terrified lest
a fatal accident should happen to her.
''The only way to prevent deaf per-
son from Walking on the track" said
Mr.. Underwood, would be to cut his
legs off, THAT is just what will do
for my deaf old lady if you cannot
stop, her." replied the engineer. In
vestigation showed that. she was &C
customed to go to a summer hotel to
sell baskets and embroidery, and that
the railroad afforded her a short cut to
her destination. She was demonstrated

Seven Vienna ladies, weary of Eu-

married seven male members Of a Be
douin troupe which has beep perform
ing in the Austrian capital during the
summer and autumn. Five of these adj
venturous women are spinsters and
two are widows, and they have just ac-
companied their Asiatic spouses to
their native deserts and GASES, where
they are to be again married after the
Arabic ceremony. The scene at the sta
ton when they took their farewell of
Felix Austria" says the Vienna Tag
blatt, was truly astonishing. The plat
form was crowded with sympathetic
friends. the majority of whom were
women and girls, and not a few among
them expressed their envy of their sis

bands. AL the seven brides, accord

uncertain age, and, as they all had
some property, he insinuates that the
Arabs were not so much fascinated by
their beauty and youth as by their gold

- Pennsylvania is the latest state that
is trying to encourage and regulate
marriage by new methods. Represen-
tative Roth of Lehigh; introduced a bill
in the state legislature lately which
provides that a male citizen Of Penn
sylvania over forty years old, making
application for a marriage license shall
pay to the clerk of courts license of
800. This is to be turned into the
state treasury for the purpose of main
tanning homes for women over forty
years old, who have not had a suitable
opportunity or offer Of marriage and
have not means sufficient to keep
themselves in clothes and spending
money. Any bachelor over forty years
old who shall go outside of the state
for wife shall pay 500 into the
state treasury. The act is irrevocable
and can never be repealed without the
consent of the majority Of the old wo-
men who have been regularly admitted
to the homes established for them.
