There is German legend of a girl
who would accept no suitor who could

was, she could not have distanced and

accepted the test had she net been a
witch. At least this is as the legcn0
has it. though it is possible for girl
built for a racer to run very fast. Ber.
tina Gerhart was very slender, her mus
cles were hard, and she was tall for u
woman. having great length Of limb
from the knee to the hip. Her face.
without animation while at rest, when
she was being chased by Il suitor grew
bright, her eyes glistened. and her lips
wore perpetual smile. She was con
tinually looking back, and when she
did so her purSuer started on with in
creased speed In this way the girl
led him to follow her so long as any
strength remained to him. SO that at
last, wher he sank down beaten in this
race, he was in danger of death from
exhaustion.
A number of young fellows had run
the race with her only to be tired out,
while Berthas endurance seemed to
give her greater fleetness the longer
she ran. After one of her pursuing
suitors had died of heart failure the
baron on whose domain she lived shut

in order to separate his son from the
witch, ordered him to go for course
of study to the University of Paris.
But Oswald was so obstinate and n4lde
his father so much trouble that the
baron. who was growing old and con.
sequently weakening. finally consented
to compromise. Oswald proposed to
demonstrate that Bertha was no witch
by chasing and catching her himself.
The baron only yielded to such a risk
after his son had declared that if not
successful the connection, so far as he
was concerned. should be ended The
baron also insisted that Bertha should
be told that if she escaped this sutton

RUNS AUTO FOR REVENGE.
Curious Case Of a Rich American in
Paris.

Z
A dispatch to the New York World from
Paris says: Edward Foster. q rich Tennes-
seean, is one Of the most extraordinary
Americans ever seen in Paris.
He has Just been arraigned In the police
court at Fontainbleau charged with de-
molishing Count Mirepots automobile by
running his own into it. Both machines
were wrecked and Mirepot and his three
guests were severely hurt.
When the magistrate expressed astonish-
ment that the records communicated to
him from Paris showed that Foster had al
ready figured in eight similar accidents. the
accused coolly admitted that he had be-
come an automobilist with the sole pur-
pose Of getting revenge on automobile
'They killed my wife and child. Destroy
ing my happiness forever. They terrorizs
people and make the lives OF countless per-
sons miserable"
Foster says that after the accident In
which his wife and little boy were fatally
run over he failed to get legal redress. 30
he ordered huge automobile. one that
beak like rhe Manovar's PROV. He named
the auto "Avenger." 1t Ii the deadliest-
looking machine imaginable.
In the last ten months whenever Fos-
ter has met q real auto nend spreading
ing Of peoples carriages he has followed
until he has found a favorable position on
the road and then rammed the machine.
Foster boasted that he would continue
doing this until his case should 20 arouse
public sentiment that efficient regulations
must be enforced.
Upon hearing this strange declaration
the defendant was deranged.
The magistrate sentenced Foster to six
months in prison. but added:
''Since civh suit to recover damages
from the defendant 10 pending. and also
since the court cannot feel wholly out %
sympathy with Mr.. Fosters provocatiou
and motives, It paroles him. the sentence
to ha enforced II ne II ever again brought
before any French tribunal for similar
offense."

1 T IMPROVEMENT.

No city ever regretted having spent
money for park and kindred improve
ments. 1t is therefore a matter of con
graduation that the city council is &C.
lively engaged in promoting Lara
mics beauty. Trees will be planted
along the boulevard, the park will be
greatly improved and much needed
work will be done on the streets and
alleys.
But the end Is not yet. The women
OF Laramie. hopeful for more 5oauti'
full homes and splendid drives and
parks, are studying, plans for bringing
these matters up to their advanced
ideas. They believe they can secure
from the Cheyenne park sufficient slips
Of the Tartarian honeysuckle hedge
to at least plant along two sides OF
that portion Of the park which it is
purposed to improve this season.
These slips will probably be thorough
ly rooted before bringing them to Lar
annie and the only expense required to
be met will be the charges for cutting
and care till rooted. Some of the Ia
dies believe, too. that the Virginia
creeper would do well here and are
longingly thinking of the magnificent
vines that adorn the walls of the via
duct at the Cheyenne railroad park.
1t is proper that the women of Lar
annie should take an interest in such
matters. Home is dearer to the femi.
nine heart and we believe women have
a keener appreciation of the beautiful
whether it is expressed in well-kept
streets. velvet lawns or what not
They have more time, too, in which tc
plan for the betterment of the home
as expressed in our splendid little city
and 1t is entirely proper for them tt
give their husbands, brothers and 9th
ers the benefit of their ideas.
