Friday friend of the family, writing

that the deceased was otherwise en-

For friend TO meet or pass you

Fact that you are already married does
not matter, presumably. You must

MONEY VALUE OF A WIFE
All Unusual Law Suit to be Tried
Shortly III indiana.

One of the most unusual law suits
on record is soon to he tried in the
State Of Indiana. II Will settle the
money value Of Il prospective wife.
Charles Arnold, Il citizen of Spencer
County, was engaged to bc married TO
young lady at Mcl0ttc station ON the
Glover Leaf Railroad. 1t is not stated
whether this road Is Of the three or
four leaf variety Of clover, but it has Il
law suit on hand. The prospective
bride was not killed by the railroad,
nor was bodily injury inflicted upon
Charles Arnold. The railroad is as kcl
to respond in the sum OF $50 900 for
damages done TO the feelings Of Young
Arnold on account of this ci,cum
stance:
The young man boarded the Clover
Leaf Railroad Co. car nj his home sta
ton equipped with ticket which read
MclOttc. When the conductor came
around Arnold told him that he was
very tired and sleepy wcaricd bv prep.
arations for the approaching event.
and that it was his desire to take a
nap. The conductor promised faith
fully to arouse The passenger in proper
time, ana 80 Arnold cnrconccd himself
in the coach and sumbcrod. There
were other passengers on The train and
the conductor had other duties to a-
tend to, and the coming marriage WAS
not SO indclb,y impressed upon his
mimi as the youth imagined and hence
1t did not occur 10 him that he had a
passenger for Mclottc station. The
train sped on and when the prospcc.
tive bridegroom awokc he was miles
from the appointed station and It was
hours after the appointed time. Ills
ailianccd had waited II reasonable time
and then the joyous anticipatious turn
cd to anger and she sworc she would
have none of him.
AL efforts TO mend matters were fu-
tile. The engagement was ctcrnnlly
broken, and Mr.. Arnold turned from
the court OF cupid to the civil tribunal
for satisfaction. The answer which
the railroad company intcrpuscd i'm
lighting the suit for damages and upon
which the defendant corporation relies
in seeking relief from responsibility is
rs follows:
Frst--Thcy arc not a sleeping car
company, nor bjcct to lis rules.
Second Plaintiff was guilty Of cul-
pablc negligence.
Thlrd-Thc woman he was to marry
is a widow, and under the act covering
secondhand goods, should not be as
sesscd at the full value OF original
wives.
Fourth-Wivcs arc cheap in Indiana
anyway, and the plantiIf can get an
other just rs good for $40.
Fiflh-Plaintilf in equity owes The
railroad company $50 900 for saving
him from an Indiana marriage.

laughed heartily.
Mr. William Gilmore $imms was the
next speaker. lie said he must be
modest when he referred TO his own

MODERN FABLES.
The Modern Fable of the Undecided
Brunette and the Two Candidates.
BY GEORGE AIDE.

Once there was a dark-eyed Maiden
who was being rushed by a Cheap Man
and a Provider. They took Turn About
in coming to the House. She was a
Child Wonder when it came to spread
ing her Dates, so that one Gentleman
would not cross another's Beat. Each
of the Applicants was led to believe
that he was the Only One for whom all
the Lights were turned up. regardless
of the Meter. He though that when he
failed to Show Up. she was in her room.

Blue.
The girl did what she could to foster
these Decisions because she wanted to
hold as many Options as possible, so
as to have her Pick.
The Cheap Man had his good Points.
He was House Broke and could play
Chords and he knew how TO mix a OAR
ling Salad. If some one else furnished
the Ingredients. But from eight to five
every day he was a Shylock and when
he was in a Crowd he never did any
thing Rash that involved the use of
Money. He saved a little more than
his Salary every week, and was pointed
out as a Conner in the Business World.
It hurt him to La Go

The Provider was a Financial Fea-
Their Weight, but he was as game as a
Pebble. He worked on the Principle
that a Man can Afford any thing he can
get. He allowed himself nearly every
thing that the Rich Folks have ex-
cept Money.
He would invite the Brunette to
Luncheon with him. When he was by
himself he called it Lunch. That con

Every time she pointed her finger at

put a Sickening Crimp in his Visible
Assets and moved him about three
Notches nearer to Hard Pan, but he
never twitched a Muscle. He would
push a Half over toward the Waiter
as if it annoyed him to see Money ly-
ing around.
He would walk out as light as a
Toy Balloon and put her in a Cab
and send her Home. and then he would
be down to his Gloves and a Bunch of
Keys and a Card Case and a couple of
Street Car Tickets.
The Brunette vas up a Stump when
it came to making a Choice. 1t SEEM
ed to be another instance of Horse
and Horse. She knew that the Cheap
Man would own Bank Stock and Cor

living on Snow Balls, and yet she could
not bring herself to lean up against a
Stingy Old Thing who never Unbuck-
led to give her a Nice Time. As for
the Provider, he was the Kindest
Friend she knew and a Good Thing
While he lasted, but she knew that he
could not Last farther than from here

went ahead and married the Provider,
he would give her everything he Own

Mr.. OFFEm.

Mr.. Frew, the private secretary of
Andrew Carnegie, now in England,
writing to Mr.. Nelson Hubbard, an
nounces that the ex-steel and iron mas
ter has agreed to donate $75 900 to the
city OF Wheeling for public library pur-
poses, subject to his usual conditions
of a site and maintenance. These on
ditions the Board of Education has
been authorized to accept, by recent
act of the Legislature, and it only re-
mains for the people of the %independ-
ent school district of Wheeling to avail
themselves of the opportunity by fav-
orable votes at the special election to
be held in the immediate future. 1t is
a plausible supposition that Mr.. Frew
is fully authorized to act for Mr.. Car
negie in these little matters. and upon
that presumption the Board will act
after communication has been had by
Dne library committee with Mr.. Frew
direct.
Wheeling is to be congratulated upon
this long deferred realization of the
dream of a public library, and no effort
should be spared to bring about the
consummation of the fact with all
proper speed.

Christmas Time he sent the Dark Girl
a Square Card with a Snow Scene, a
Clump Of Fir Trees and a Frozen Wat
er-Wheel. When they went out to a
Party, he always remarked that 1t
seemed to be a Pleasant Evening and
they might as well Hoof it. 1t the
Weather turned out bad and it was
a case of Landau, he would work up
a nervous Headache and Jump the En-
gagement.
The Provider was just the other Way.
He was for Buying. The Queen re-
ceived her Violets every day or two,
even though he had to Catch Even by
lunching on Buttermilk and Slnkers.
She got what she wanted and he took
his Chances on standing off the Wolf
at the Door and lodging the Tailor,

itors who We're Laying for him.
He took her to a Theatre and they
had Parquette Seats on the Aisle. Al

would call out their Carriage Number

But, oh! the little home ca earth

And so Will miss his happy smile,
And while their hearts are grieving so,
Oh, be with the dear ones the while,
And spread the sunlight OF thy love
Within these hearts, SO nned with grief
Fol in their hour OF despair,
Oh! thou alone canst bring relief.
IT seemeth hard that one so young,

Shouldst thus so early, from our midst.
