A LowLY LIFE.

So overwhelmingly she bore the mol

And, be it said, throughout her length Of
days
Her womanlv reward was stinted praise.
She lived a life as lowly as the loan,
Yet Just her ~atient smile suggested home
And motherove that watched DER trun-

Til cen tn nraiseless husband often SAID
She made his home-life happy.
So, when the friends had crossed upon her
breast
Her tired hands, that she might better rest. .
And noted tn, angelic smile of peace
She wore at labor's end and tolls sur

An epitaph to mark her grave they

And, while no deed of martyrdom was

The lines told all Of wife and mother

They writ beneath her name: "a Farm.

The AntnmnhiIe.

The self-propelling vehicle has at'
tracted the Imagination Of inventors
for many years. Not until the last de-
cade Of the nineteenth century, how
ever did the machines which we now
know as automobiles become per-
fected to the point where they could
be adopted for general use. Inasmuch
as it is still too bulky in form, the au.
tomobile can hardly yet be called

She wouldn't marry one who smoked,
She wouldn't wed with one who swore;
She wouldn't have a man whose heart
Had ever leaped for love before.
She wouldn't marry one whose height
Was less than five feet nine or ten;

Must have command DER other meni y

The Waukegan man arrived on time.
He was large, loose jointed and eld-
erly, with a wild eye and a timid, hes
itating manner The fashion of his
clothes was decidedly rural and he
wore heavy cowhide boots. AS lie ex-
planned the object Of his visit he
fingered his long, wispy beard nery-
Ously and seemed unwilling to look
the lady in the face. She invited him
in, and after carefully rubbing his
boots on the door mat he followed her
into the sitting room, where he seated
himself on the extreme edge Of
chair and gazed earnestly at a crayon
portrait that hung over the bookcase.
"Nr. Parker told me to tell you how
sorry he was that he couldn't be here
to see you said the woman, with an
engaging smile, as she seated herself
opposite her visitor.
"Yesm," coughing behind his hand
and transferring his gaze to the clock.
But he thought as far as the bust
ness was concerned that I could attend
to it just as well as be could"
There was an embarrassed silence.
Mrs. Parker felt the contagion Of the
mans nervousness. She thought that
he certainly was odd-almost alarm
ingly so. She caught his eye in the
course Of its wanderings around the
room and noticed that he colored
slightly She coughed and he coughed
a raspng echo.
He left me the receipt she said,
at last.
"Yes'm."
Another silence. The man shunied
his feet uneasily and the woman began
to feel desperate.

tance was lost, but Mr. Parker told
me to say that he would give you
credit for half the amount, or all of It

man. Il don't want him to lose any

with great vehemence and looked at
her so angrily that she quailed and
wondered If her servant was within
call.

added. Then in n gentler tone: Have

he uttered a cry Of pain. The woman

Named by Diamond Broker
Harrington as Correspondent
in Divorces Suit.

New York Jan Giles Harrington
has made many a bid for fame as dia-
mond broker but he is keeping away
from his office at IA Maiden Lane at the
present time. In fact he does not desire
10 see any callers anywhere. for he is in
dulging his fancy for poetic language in
calling himself names for the divorce
mixup I'm which he finds himself.
Mr.. Harrington has begun an action
against Mrs. Harrington. and feels that
he il so agsrieved that only language of
the most hardened sort can afford him
the desired relief.
Mrs. Annie Harrington who is sued, is
likewise among the missing. and none OF
the attorneys or others interested I'm the
case will admit that they know where
che is although she has been served with
the papers in the action.
Service has also been effected on a
young man in the employ of a life insur-
ance company as an agent as Mr.. Har-
rington desired 10 have him explain his
connection with the case as correspond
ent. He will have an opportunity TO do
SO before a referee shortly.
The Harringtons have been married
since 1898, coming recently from Chicago,
where Harrington was known as a
plunger I'm the diamond market and at
the racetrsck. Mr.. Harrington is at pres
ent about forty years old. while his wife
is only thirty-two. They have no chill
dren.
Recently Mr.. Harrington became sus-
picious OF the actions OF his wife and had
her watched. He says that the detectives
he employed discovered that the lady,
who is a large woman and decided
blonde was I'm the habit OF paying fire.
quent visits to the office of the insur-
ance man who was introduced TO Mrs.
Harrington by Harrington himself.
The latter wanted his life insured for
500. 900 and also wanted TO insure his wife
for "A firth OF that sum, and accordingly
had the agent visit his home and secure
the application OF both OF them.
Edmund T. Maher, OF p Park Row, Mr..
Harringtons attorney, has all or the
evidence in his possession and says that
t.e service on all parties has been effect
ed He also says that the Harringtons
separated six weeks ago and that they
then gave up an apartment they had on
Eighty-irst street.
According 20 Lawyer Maher, Mrs. Har-
rington has had enough settled on her 10y
her husband to live comfortably on, and
that she has stated that she would not
make any attempt to fight the action
brought by him.
