Sort of a CannibaI.

An old farmer for many years got his
dinner on market days at small hotel
kept by a widow.
She had long suspected that he ate
more than the price u.s. Cd warranted,
so she determined to test him. She ac-
cordingly arranged matters so that
there was no room for him at table, but
she took him into a private room the
table of which was graced by steam
ing leg of mutton. He set to in good
earnest. and soon nothing was left but
the bones.
Highly delighted with his cheap feed
on passing the bar he rendered shil.
lings for his dinner and a quart Of ale.
The widow declined to take any pay
ment on the ground Of having incon.
venienced him so much.
Chuckling TO himself, the farmer lift
ed down his market basket from a
hook. and, finding 1t rather light. he
tore off the covering and shouted:

"Why. We old silly" said the widow,

why Bachanan Never Married.

"Mr. Buchanan. who was the first
bachelor elected 10 the presidency. was
60 years OF age when elected and had
deliberately given himself to a life of
celibacy." writes William Perrine In
The Ladies' Home Journal.
I'm the days when he was n young
lawyer of Lancaster. Pa, he had loved
Miss Coleman. a beautiful daughter of
a citizen OF that town. They had been
engaged 10 be married, when one day
he was surprised TO receive from her a
request to release her from the prom
Use. According TO Mr.. George Tick
nor Curtis, the separation originated in
a misunderstanding on the part of the
lady, who was unusually sensitive,
over some small matter exaggerated by
giddy and indiscreet tongues. Soon
after the estrangement she was sent
10 Philadelphia and there died sud
denly.
Throughout the rest of his life, or for
nearly half century, Mr.. Buchanan
Is not known 10 have revealed TO any
body the circumstances of this ro-
mantle tragedy. He would only say
that II had changed his hopes and
plans and had led him more deeply
than ever into politics as a distraction
from his grief. In his old age, long
after he had retired permanently to
private life, he called attention to a
package containing, he said. the pa
pers and relics which would explain
the causes of his youthful sorrow and
which he preserved evidently with the
idea Of revealing them before his
death. But when he died and his will
was read II was found that he had di-
rected that the package should be
burned without being opened, and his
injunction was obeyed."
