A wOo1NG.

No man ever had q romantic
s~ooirkk than Richard Brinsley Sheri-
dan When he determined to make Miss
Linley, the beautiful Nightingale Of
Bath" his wife. She counted her suit
ors by the score, but Sheridan's roman
tic devotion won her heart. He dis
suised himself as a coachman merely
to have the pleasure of driving her;
he escorted her to a French nunnery to
rescue her from the prosecutions of an
odious wooer, with whom he fought
two duels on her behalf. And this
was but a type Of the chivalrous ad-
ventures which ultimately enabled him
to lead her to the altar in April, 1773.
His second wooing vas just as per-
sistent. When Sheridan first met the
beautiful daughter Of the dean Of Win
ester he was a middle-aged man, and
anything but personally fascinating.
Miss Ogle could not bear the sight of
him and. called him IAN odious crea-
ture" and ridiculous fright" but with
in a short time she was glad to give
her hand and heart to the most fas-
cinating man in England, and a hus-
band of whom any girl might be
proud"
It was Mrs. Lewis rather than Dis
: raeli who did the wooing, for she made
no concealment of her admiration for
the rising statesman, and pursued him
with attentions which in a younger
woman would have been indecent, says
the St. Louis Republic. And yet the
''dowdy widow succeeded where mere
youth and beauty would certainly have
tailed, for who can resist the worship
Of a woman? And she succeeded by a
lifelong devotion in winning her hus-
bands heart as well as his gratitude.
Mr.. Gladstone's wooing was much
mare conventional and ceremonious, as
might be expected. It was over a din
iner table that Miss Glynne caught her
mt glimpse of the young man to
whom she was to devote her life. do

the shadow of sorrow in our neigh

of Sunday says:

On May % the child was severely bitten
about the face by a dog. Dir. Williams
was called in to examine the wound, but =,
as the dog was not known to be mad, it
was decided to await developments for a
few days.
On June 10 symptoms developed that
indicated that the child had rabies, and
arrangements were at once made to
bring her to the City Hospital here.
AS soon as the cars started the little
one began to complain that the motion
affected her, but not until within a few
miles of Washington did the first positive
symptoms ofhydrophobia appear. Then
she was offered a glass of water and was

more several more commissions occurred,
each one growing stronger and stronger.
AS soon as Baltimore was reached a
carriage was called and all haste was
made to reach the hospital. Reaching
there at 9:45 o'clock DR.. Keirle was sent
for and arrived soon after.
A little later the little sufferer had
another CONFUSION. About II O'Clock

was dead.
