was. a good deal the matter. so that
before her series of appointments vas

the dentist sent around his bill.
But he was not sharp man in some

was on the upper floor of a building
that stood facing the river Bertram
said to the rundown man:
You go down on the levee and

MARRIED SIX TIMES.
Sad Story of a Woman Who Could
Not Say No.
Romantic MisfOrJunes of Sonora
Maria Francesca de la Guerra
All Who Proposed to Her
Were Made Happy.

Few women are placed in such an
environment of romantic misfortunes
as has followed Sonora Maria de
la Guerra since she was 10 wears
old. At that age she accompanied
her mother from New York to san
Francisco, where the two took up
their residence. 1t was here that
she met James Mark, and her first
romance began. Her name at that
time was Francesca Maria Schultz.
and this affair was highly approved
by her family, and in due time the
pretty young girl and Mark, who
was several years her senior, were
married. They moved into an ele-
CANT country home, and everything
went well until Mark took up politics,
and secured his election to the Of
fee of county sheriff. Then peace lied
out the doors of the prosperous,
happy home, and the trouble ended
IN the divorce courts. Mark did not
attach any blame To his young wife,
and remembered her handsomely
with a share of his estate.
Thus she found herself a young,
dark-eyed widow with plenty Of
means, and naturally a great many
admirers. She was eager to fall in
love, for she wanted a home. So
when DR.. Charles W. Webb, an Eng
lishman, offered her his hand, she
was unable TO say no. They were
married, but the honeymoon had
scarcely ended when husband No. 2
siekened with heart disease, and be-
fore many weeks died, leaving his
still young wife poorer by several
dollars. Her fortune was diminished
and she made up her mind that mat
rimony was not her lucky star. Then
she turned to fnanciering and pros
pered. She speculated extensively

In Alsace recently four-year-old
child, the daughter of workingman,

recovered, and for some days after
ward dismayed her parents by eating
a good deal more than a child Of that
age is wont to eat. Instead, however,
of growing fatter, the girl grew thin
ner, and doctors who were summoned
TO attend her were unable to explain
why the food did her no good Finally
the riddle was solved, for a serpent
about 20 inches in length issued one
morning from the child's mouth. The
serpent was killed and sent TO the Uni
versity of Strasburg, and since then
the little one has enjoyed excellent
health. 1t is supposed that the child
swallowed the serpent while drinking
some impure water.

friend to win or die. All night the
judge won and lost alternately. Some
times he had stacks of reds and blues
so high that they cast a shadow on the
dealers box; sometimes he had a few
measly whites on a card which looked
like poor relation.
Meanwhile the man on the river
front was walking, looking at the dark
flow of the water like the poor unfor-
tunate in Hoods Bridge of Sighs;
anon glancing up at the windows in
the gambling room. A terrific thun-
dershower broke over the town and
still the man walked along the river
front until he was drenched to the
marrow in his shivering bones.
I'm the gray of the morning, with
sheets of rain still falling upon the
scene, Judge Bertram left the game, a
$4,000 winner, and walked down to the
river front where his impecunious
friend was shivering.
II expected to find you in the river,
said the Judge I didn't signal, be-
cause i made II all IN heap.
IF it hadn't been for the rain,
said his friend. 4 might have jumped,
but l said to myself, What's the use,
you are already wet through, and if
the rain keeps on you'll drown on
land
The judge called a hack and the
two drove to the best hotel in town
and had breakfast. They left town
together. A year later they owned
one of the biggest cattle ranches in
Colorado.
at was the judges last game; and
it was the last time his friend ever
did any walking. Bertram is dead. but
his partner has interests stretching
across the continent, in Hawaii and
Japan"

c-..,nre, ThaI Never Drink.

There is a parrakeet at the zoOlOg-
ical gardens in London that has lived
for over half century without drink
ing anything Many naturalists have
a theory that hares never drink, or at
all events that water is not necessity
TO their existence; the dew on the
grass is supposd to be sufficient liquid
for their wants. There is a certain
breed of gazelle that never drinks and
the lamas of Patagonia live for years
without taking water. In France
there is a particular class Of cattle
near Losere that rarely touches wa
ter. This is all the more remarkable
because these cattle give milk Of a
rich quality from which excellent
cheese is made.-NatuEe. D..

SPARROW JACKS HOUSE.
The Home of the Man Who Imported
English SparrOws to Kill Amer
lean CaterpiIIars.

The annual warfare of early summer
against the troublesome English spar
rows that persist in destroying GER
tain seed planting and in feasting on
the cherries and berries is now on.
Even the friends of the sparrOws prob
ably know but little of the man who
introduced them into Pennsylvania, or
of his quaint little home still standing
on Main street, Germantown.
This curious little old stone building,
whose crumbled walls face Main street
at the corner of UpsaH, with the Up
sail street side protected by frame
work that is in turn rotting away with
the crumbling stone, was standing at
the time of the revolution, and has
been but little changed since. 1t was
here that the Englishman, John Bards-
ley, made his home after the civil war;
he was painter by trade, quite sue
cessful in his chosen line, and eager
to visit his native home at the time
that William F. Smith was councilman
of Germantown.
This was about 30 years ago, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer, and at that
time the caterpillars were infesting
the trees of the city-probably TO an
even greater extent than the trees
were raided by the pest last summer
and fall. In despair over the destruc-
tive inroads made by the caterpillars,
Councilman Smith used his influence
in sending John Bardsley 10 England
to bring over a lot of English sparrOws
to destroy the American pest. In
order to show his appreciation of the
opportunity to visit his old home in
England, Mr.. Bardsley brought back
with hin a great number of the spar
rows, and it is believed that this was
the first introduction of the sparrow
into this country on any great scale,
and certainly the first introduction
into Pennsylvania. The old house has
long been known as sparrow Jack
house." and the name of John or
Jack" Bardsley will long be asso-
ciated with the little English sparrow.

and profted handsomely, and every
thing went well with her until she
met Wallace Andrews Fitzgerald, of
New York, the cause of her present
trouble Fitzgerald was good to
look at. He said he was descended
from an Irish king or two, and had
large blue eyes, and the most fascin-
ating gray hair in the world. But
he was a bartender. This did not
suit Mrs. Webb, but he told her there
was a lot of good in him, and that
all it needed was cultivation. He
finally consented to give up the bar
and turn inancier on her money.
Fitzgerald selected Chicago as the
field offering the greatest promise
to bright young spectators. So he
started out with Mrs. Webb's money,
and her promise to become his wife.
Then came along a southern gen.
tleman," T. H. Young by name, who
helped her to forget Fitzgerald, and
the outgrowth of this acquaintance
was another marriage. Young got
all of her money, and then decamped.
His wife followed, and found him.
A stormy scene, which might have
ended in murder, followed, but a
tragedy was avoided by the arrival
of John H. Roller, who thrashed the
husband and gave him over to the
police. Mrs. Young secured a di-
vorce and married her gallant de-
fender. Roller. The latter soon aft
erward went insane, and again the
wife was compelled to pay for le-
gal separation.
Then Fitzgerald appeared again.
He had used the $500 he had bOr-
rowed to good advantage, so the
woman could not say no when he
asked her TO marry him. But Fitz-
gerald neglected to provide for her,
and finally went away to Arizona or
Mexico.
She was glad TO get rid of him at
any price, but this was the begin
Ming of her greatest trouble. After
Fitzgerald had departed she met Sc
nor Carlos de la Guerra, scion of

he fell in love with her, and when
she heard that Fitzgerald had died
she responded to the senOr's mag
netic words and agreed to become his
wife. But two months after the
day, while she was enjoying the lux
uries of her magnificent home, a
rude detective, says the Chicago
Tribune, slipped quietly into the
house. accompanied by Fitzgerald,
who was an exceedingly lively ghost
and informed her that she was a big
amist. This seemed TO be true, and
the surprised and disappointed wom-
an was hurried away TO Jail. after
she and her husband had refused 70
compromise with Fitzgerald for the
stimulated sum of $1,000. Now her
marriage with the Spanish royalist
is to be annulled.

SyC9 Asphalt.

Asphalt is fouEs in the provinces Of
Syria on the banks of the Dead sea,
floating on the surface of its waters.
Through the action of earthquakes the
asphalt has been torn from the bottom
of the sea and driven toward the
shores, especially TO the east. The mar
ratives of the Greek and Roman his
torian to the effect that asphalt as
small islands was upheld by the salt
water and driven over the surface Of
the sea are without doubt true. The
asphalt, and generally the oriental or
Egyptian, is pure and expensive, and
used principally in the manufacture OF
a certain kind Of yarnish, but for gem
eral purposes, owing to its brittleness
as well, is useless in the asphalt in
