Some Celebrated Men Who Married
Their Domestic Servants.


Their Domestic Servants.
Many celebrated men have married
their domestic servants. Sir Henry
parkes, premier Cf New South Wales,
is an example. One night when dining
at a friends house he was struck by
the appearance Of a servant girl who
waited upon the table and persuaded
his host to allow her to enter his en-
ploy. This she did and for short time
held the position Of cook in Sir Henry's 8
household. Then he made her Lady
Parkes.
But more illustrious than this is the
case Of Peter the Great. One day he
was dining at the house of Prince Men
shlkoff. He noticed one Of the servant
maids particularly. and. though she
was not handsome. she caught his fan
cy. Her name. the prince told the czar.
was Martha. She had been a servant
in the house Of Lutheran minister Of
Marienburg. and when that city was
captured by the troops of Russia she
had been taken prisoner by General
Bauer. who had passed her over to the
prince. whose servant she was. The
count politely made present Of her to
the czar. who eventually married her.

he would like ,tosmarr5 their daughter.
The parents OF the girl Informed the
young man that they had no objections
to him as their son-in-law. but that he
would have to wal; until their daugh-
ter was OF marriageable age. Five
years later Cobbett. true to his early
love. married her.

ONE EXAMPLE OF MANY.

.9ap morning, over thirty six hoHrs
ahead of the time it was given to the
Pine Bluff readers OF the Commercial
appeal The Graphics splendid tele-

one example of the many occurring
daily in which the fact is clearly
