SOLD THEIR WIVES,
Certain Glasses In England Believe They
May Sell Their spouaes.

"ay seu lheF SpOuaes.
In March, 1896. the London Times
announced the sale of wife In Shelf
field for sixpence. and a little while
afterward the same paper solemnly In
formed the public that the price of
wives had risen In Smithfield market
from half guinea to three guineas
and half. In 1903 1t is recorded a
man led his wife by halter into the
cattle market at Sheffield and sold her
for a guinea. The market value OF n
wife seems to have dropped as the
century grew older. for In 1920 a
worthy husband in Canterbury placed
his wife in a cattle pen and disposed
OF her for five shillings. In 1855 the
peopls of Derby had the opportunity
OF buying a wife OF one of their fellow
townsmen. The woman was led to the
market place with halter round her
waist and was knocked down for
eighteen pence and a quart OF beer.
In the sos collier sold his wife at
Alfreton. in Derbyshi-e. for four pence
and in the same decade two Sheffield
men agreed to the buying and selling
of wife in public house. AT the
Royal Oak. Sheffield" the agreement
ran: Il. Abraham Boothroyd. agreed
to sell my wife. Clare. to William
Hail. both OF Sheffield. for the sum OF
Ave shillings" There is not even
the relief In these cases of consoling
ones self with the reflection that the
sale OF the wife is a thing OF impulse.
Often enough 1t Is n deliberate COM
mercial transaction In cold blood.
as in the case that came to light a
few years ago In which the wife. with
her parents and two friends. met to
arrange the terms of the sale. The
price was fixed at thirty shillings and
the bill Of sale ran: ''Mr. - to
have my wife, Elizabeth -. free
from me forever. to do as she has n
mind, this day. Dec. IL. 1893 The
notion that man may sell his wife
and marry again Is common among
certain classes of the English popula-
ton. A prisoner at Leeds on his trial
for bigamy pleaded that the charge
could not stand. as he had sold his
wife for three shillings six pence. and
was therefore entitled to marry again.
The case Is barely six years old.
About the same time another instance
was reported from village near Dom
caster, the circumstances coming to
light In the police court. II. Enoch
Childs." the agreement ran. "is quite
willing to take your wife and children
as mine, that is. your wife Ellen Tart,
and Sarah. John. Henry and Eliza" "
The paper was signed by the wife OF
the purchaser and dated New Conis-

His name was not Johnnie Morgan:
| II was Antonio Pansado. But from
that day almost year ago when she
first heard and saw him, a very dirty
and very picturesque Italian vioiinist.
adding his way through the frightened
purse strings and into the hearts OF all
who heard him. she had christened
| him and to herself had called him
"Johnnie Morgan" Almost a year 1t
vas and to her the shortest year she
had ever lived. for 1t seemed as II this
Antonio had brought with him into
her life the blue sky and the sunshine
Of his own Italy.
Miss Anna Gilbert was the teacher
Of drawing and painting in the Girls
College at Madisonville, and was more
beloved than any teacher Of the col
lege had ever been before. The title
which tho girls had given her. Saint
Anna" was truly deserved, for SO
thickly did she SOW the seeds OF good
ness about her that had her harvest Of
thanks from poor struggling students
been wheat at the right time OF the
market 1t would have given her a
princess income.
During her youth. for it must be
confessed her youth was mostly be-
hind her, she had worked and sacri-
feed for her parents until their DEATH
and then she struggled for the educa.
ton of her younger brother and SIS
ter.
One gray October morning on her
way to work she had been struck by
the evident genius Of the young Italian.
who was playing his violin on the
street Always attracted by music she
stopped to listen and was struck by
the combination of poverty and genius
in the handsome young fellow.
lie certainly was unusually hand
some and he looked even younger than
he was for his face possessed great
sincerity and ingenaousness OF express

skin were enhanced by the exceeding
thinness Of the face and by the hun

itual and mental as well as physi-
cal food, which. shining from those
dark eyes appealed directly and power

italian Ruier Guards Animal for an
Aged Woman.
Some days ago the King and Queen
OF Italy took long promenade in the
neighborhood OF their chateau OF Rae
conigi, their summer residence. The
Queen suddenly became intensely
thirsty. Perceiving an old woman near
who was watching a COW the King re-
quested her to give him a little milk.
The peasant. ignorant Of the quality
of her guests. pretended that her cow
gave no milk. But you have some
water at your house." continued the
King That yes replied the old wo-
man. Gould you get some for me?"
III you would keep my cow while I
went for It," Agreed" replied Victor
Emmanuel in the most serious fashion
in the world. At the end OF ten min
utes the old woman returned with a
bowl of fresh water. But how does 1t
happen" demanded the King. "that
there are SO few people In the coun-
try?" They have all gone down to
the chateau to see the King. the Queen
and the little Princess. 1t Is only we
old ones that one leaves at the house
and who will never see them" But
you see them. my worthy woman" re-
piled the King. giving her new gold
piece I'VE are the King and Queen"
The peasant woman began to tremble
and in despairing voice cried: Par
don me, Sire. l did not know" The
Queen had all the trouble in the world
to calm the poor woman. who kept
repeating: ITO think that have given
my cow to guard to the King!"

into love as surely as the acorn which
Dame Nature also planted is going to
grow into an oak.
One June day after lie had walked
home with her she sat in her room
and with many bushes faced it-faced
this fact that she loved the violinist.
The song was all true: She loved her
"Johpnie Morgan" And why not? she
asked herself. Had she not worked
hard for others all her life and been
faithful in all things? Was 1t not
right that the sunshine OF love and
happiuess should come into her life.
She dreamed that night OF cottage
filled with the music OF violin: and
never had she looked so radiant and
so young as she did the next day.
IL had a letter this morning from
my little sister," she said to Antonio
the next evening as he walked home
with her, She Is coming next week
to spend her vacation with me-"
"Ah. the little sister. l shall love
the little child for the sake of Saint
Anna" exclaimed Antonio.
Saint Anna laughed.
"Oh, she's not so small as all that"
she replied. Saddle is eighteen and
great tall girl, but call her my little
sister because she always has been my
baby. She has been at Normal school
and next season she will begin to
teach.'
Saddle came, and rosebud OF rare
perfection she was-a perfect type OF
blonde beauty, with warm heart and
a yiyacity which charmed all who met
her. To her physical charms she add
ed a character built on strongest foun-
dations. for to this baby sister had
Miss Anna given all the loving care
and earnestness OF thought. all the
building up OF ideals that she had
missed in her own girlhood and ac-
ouired In her hard battles with the
world.
The next time Antonio walked home
