J. p. Morgan has offered to place
ships of his steamship trust at the
disposal of the British admiralty for
a term of so years for use in case of
war. This makes the boosted Ameri-

little farcical. Possibly j. Pierpont
is going to become an expatriate and
bid for title.

Fifteen years ago last Saturday
evening Addison X. Horning and his
wife parted in their little home at
Clarkdale Junction. Ill. Saturday
afternoon Mrs. Horning secured a
warrant for the arrest of her hus-
band on charge of abandonment.
and the next morning the man was
arraigned before Justice Hall on this
charge at the Harrison street police
station. Chicago. He told n strange
story of the cause of the parting of
what had been 1.-THE most happily
married couple in Illinois," as he
terms it. The story of the. woman,
however, does not run along the same
lines, and ON July the two daughters
of the couple appeared before JUS
tice Hall and the case was settled.
Horning explains that it was case
of money and parting and too much
pride on both sides to return and
ask forgiveness. Mrs. Horning is
stylishly dressed woman and is re-
puted to be worth considerable
money. She lives in Chicago with
her two daughters, while the father
still lives in CIarkdale. Horning.
who is an expert carpenter, says
that the trouble arose in 1887. when
his wife transferred to her own ac-
count 5000 that he had in bank, and
that when he protested she moved
all the furniture in the house and
left him without anything. The wife
denies this statement and says her
husband refused to provide for her
and her two daughters.

Owatonna, Mimi, july 1.-THE midsum
mer exercises at the state school for de-
pendent children at Owatonna were more
than usually interesting and pretty this
year. They consisted OF a patriotic enter
tainment in which the children wore cos
tunes representing the different nations,
and presented the claims to distinction of
the country the little actor or actress was
costumed to Indicate. The United States,
of course, occupied the most prominent
place.
The music accompanying the little play
consisted of appropriate national airs. The
veterans of the Grand Army post were
guests of honor and the whole entertain
ment was a touching gathering Of young
children and the warscarred soldiers.
This school is certainly one of the most
interesting of the state charities. 1t is
also one Of the most promising, for these
are normal children who have, poor little
things missed through one cause or an
other that first and best birthright of
every child, the right to be we'll born, that
Is, to be the child of parents who can and
Will welcome it into the world and support
and educate it so that it may reach it's
highest development.
Sometimes they are the children of the
deserted wife who finds it more than diff
cult to make living for herself, or the
children or the struggling. WIDOW, or per-
haps they are orphans. Whatever may be
the causes that bring them here, they
find in the state kind and generous
foster mother who spares neither trouble
nor expense to start right these little
ones committed to her care and to give
them a working chance in the world in
competition even with the child of the
millionaire. r .

The children have many pets, including
deer, rabbits, squirrel. a raccoon an eagle,
some owls and several Shetland ponies
who are also useful in cutting the grass
and carrying the mail.
Work is judiciously mixed with play and
it is pretty to look on at the hour of re.
