Mrs. Nagle has resumed her resi-
dence in the old homestead at ST. Law
renee, which she entered as bride
and has occupied ever since. 1t was
there that she was found and ques-
toned by Chicago Tribune reporter
as to her views on marriage, when she
declared:
"Never get married. That's my ad-
vice. I've found little happiness insthe
welded state, and the same is the case
with a large percentage of others.
There are some in my own neighbor-
hood. You read of others in the news
papers, and some don't say much about
it. We didn't have much money when
we started out in life together. We
were economical and thrifty, and
thought that it's possession would
bring me contentment. In that / was
mistaken. We accumulated little com
pared with the great fortunes of the
world, but it was enough for our needs
and yet we were not happy.
"There was time when / believed
that the possession of money would
bring me, as a married woman, the
greatest satisfaction in the world, but
| found that l was mistaken. Young
man, just take this advice: Don't get
married, and accept this as the truth:
Money alone brings neither content
ment nor happiness"
Mr.. Maggie has gone to live on one of
the farms which he secured by the di-
vision of their property. It is in the

ten miles from st. Lawrence, and there
he expects to spend the remainder of
his days. Unless they should happen to
meet by chance, it is not likely that
they will see each other on this side
of the grave. They simply have al
lowed the fires of love to die out, and
not spark of affection remains.

to separate. Marriage in our case, as

HER LOVER SAILED AWAY.

a decidedly original and unique
manner. Some two years ago when
his ship was stationed off Atlantic
City, ON the Jersey coast, he fell
deeply in love with one of the
charming girls of that town. When the
battleship steamed away the girl
watched its departure from flagstaff
on a nearby promontory, and almost
weekly afterwards climbed the steep
cliff and looked out to sea, picturing no
doubt the stately vessel and her lover
as she did so.
The lieutenant was so struck with his
sweetheart's actions on his return that
he arranged for the wedding ceremony
to be performed close to the spot where
his bride had been in the ha bit of gaz-
ing out to sea and from where she
waved the ship good-by. Under the tall
pole from which waved the stars and
stripes, and in full view of the Atlantic
ocean, the marriage was conducted in
the presence of a large and picturesque
audience.
Equally pretty was the wedding con-
Quoted by DR.. Edward Everett Hale,
who not SO very long ago united
couple in the presence of 100 persons in
a wood near Boston. The ceremony
was conducted under an immense oak
tree, from branch of which hung
marriage bell of field daisies. The we'd
ding breakfast was afterwards served
in picnic fashion on the ground.
The most curious of all open-air we'd
dings probably was that performed on
one of the steamers on Lake Michigan
some IL months ago. The captain of
the vessel not only decided to marry
the woman of his choice on the deck of
the steamer, but that the ceremony
should take place at midnight. and un-
der the broad canopy of the heavens,
upon the waters of the great lake, this
strange and romantic couple were duly
made man and wife.

carbolic acid one day in the hope of
reaching the other side in hurry. He
said he took enough to kill two or
three people, but before the poison
completed the job of delivering his
soul to it's last keeper, the unfeeling
doctor had come along and brought
back the fading life. But the opera
tion cost him his swallowing appa-
ratus, and he had been compelled to go
through life eating his meals through
a tube inserted in his throat. The man
was a veritable show around the bar
room for some days, and also at a
neighboring restaurant, where he used
to get his meals. He usually ate a
couple of soft-boiled eggs for break
fast. He also drank quantities of cof-
fee, and all went through the funnel.
The people at the Central police sta
ton had funny experience with the
man. He got too much liquor one
night, and was arrested and locked up.
The only articles on his person were a
funnel and few dimes. The man had
not been in the cell many minutes be-

him drink of water The taller
thought this was the usual request
from the overheated patient, and told
him there was bucket of water in
the cell and he could drink to his
hearts content. But the man declared
he could not drink without assistance,
and finally the jailer went to him. The
man then produced the funnel and re-
quested that the water be poured in.
The jailer nearly dropped dead, but he
thought he would be, obliging, and he
complied. In the morning when the
man repeated the operation at break
fast they began to realize that here
was freak proper.
So far as all the attributes of the
throat and mouth are concerned the
man has perfect control. He articu-
lates as well as anybody, breathes as
well as anybody, and there is not the
slightest outward appearance of ir-
regularity till eating and drinking
time comes around, and then he had to
show his hand, or his neck.

OHIO MANS FUNNEL.
He Uses It Constantly to Obtain
Meat and Drink.
His Appearance In a New Orleans
Saloon Almost Paralyzed the
Barkeeper-Sensati in
Police Station.

There are men who eat with their
fingers in the rude way of the forefa-
theirs, and men who shovel in pie with
their knives, and. also another class
which uses the fork with the right
hand, but, says the Picayune, genius
who uses neither of these ways of con-
veying his bread to his bread basket,
nor his liquor to the place provided for
such things, showed up in New Orleans
some time ago.
There was nothing peculiar in the
mans dress or in the way he walked
up to the bar and called for drink.
The white-aproned genius behind the
counter set out the poison just as he
did for everybody else. At this the
man produced small tin funnel from
his coat pocket and unwrapped yard
or two of rubber tube from around his
neck and asked the barkeeper to kind
ly pour the whisky into the funnel. At
first the mixologist believed somebody
was handing him practical joke, but
the customer insisted and the whisky
was poured in. The man waited a mo-
ment and then smacked his lips, re-
marked that the liquor was the genuine
article and then walked out.
1t was some time before the bar
tender could recover his breath, and
in the meantime the man was out of
range. But the man came around again
the next day and had several drinks.
The curiosity of the barman had
reached the point where he could no
longer control it, and he asked the
strange customer what it was all
about, and how it was he did not take
his swig like the rest of mankind.
The man then said he had been a
wanderer over the face of the earth
for years, had originally come from
Ohio, and because of disappointment
in business and the breaking up of his
home had gulped down big dose of

OPEN AIR WEDDINGS.
Iowa Couple Wed Each Other in a
Lonely Corn Field.
Hopper and His Sweetheart Made One
Under an Arch Made of Hops
Ceremony Under a Big
Oak Tree.

During the past year quite number
of weddings have taken place which
are interesting from the fact that
they were performed in the open air.
Four weeks ago, for instance, Mr..
E. o. Rayburn and a Miss Bertha
Schwartz were married in a corn
field.
1t appears that the wedding was to
have taken place at the brides home,
who lived in Wayne county, Ia. The
bridegroom was resident of Lucas
county. On the eventful day he made
his way to the brides home, and ev-
erything was ready for the perform
ance of the all-important ceremony
when, to his horror, the clergyman in
formed him that he could not proceed,
as the license only permitted mar
riage in his own county.
1t was too late then to rectify the
error, for the guests were assembled,
and long distance lay between them
and the clerk of Wayne county. Thanks
to the cool head of the bride plan was
devised for getting over the difficulty

party and guests following her, across
the road into cornfieId which stood
in Lucas county. There, amid the
corn sheaves, was performed one of
the prettiest and most novel weddings
ever chronicled.
California was once the scene of
unique wedding in the open. At the
close of successful hopping season
young hopper and his sweetheart
were duly made man and wife in the
same field in which they had previ-
ously gathered hops together. Over
200 hop-pickers were present. A large
van was engaged for the purpose, and
standing in this, under an arch formed
of hops, the happy couple were united
in the bonds of holy matrimony in the
presence of the delighted and interest
ed spectators.

DON'T GET MARRIED.
So Say Both Man and Wife After
Long Experience.
Welded Life, in the Case of This ven-
cradle Couple, Was a Flat Fall
ure-Neither Found Any
Real Happiness.

"Never get married." Such is the
advice given to young people by Mrs
Reuben Nagle, a farmer of ST. Law
renee, Pa sad faced woman of 20
years. Her husband is about the same
age, and for half century they lived
together as man and wife.
Only the other day they agreed to
live apart, and they went about
making the arrangements apparent
ly without pang of regret. First,
they went to an attorneys office
and he drew up the papers. Next
they had deeds prepared making an
equal division of their property. They
started out in life with little, and
wound up half a century of matri-
mony with about $4,000 invested in
real estate and securities. This was
amicably divided without the shadow
of difference. The lawyer, having
prepared the papers, handed them to
the couple and the husband paid his
fee. Then they walked to the court
house together, filed the papers in the
recorders office, and in the corridor
of the building separated without
display of any emotion whatever.
'Well, good-by," he said, and she re-
piled "Good-by." They did not even
shake hands, only the slightest nod
as each went his or her own way.
Their neighbors declare that they
never knew them to quarrel, though
they often had strong differences of
oninion SIN fact "said Mr. Naple 1--WE
drifted as naturally into the idea of
separating as we did into matrimony.
We simply decided to live apart be-
cause we weren't happy, and that's all
there is about it."

the courthouse reads in part as fol-

wasp Helped injured Comrade.

A story of how one wasp cared for
another that had been injured is told
by a gentleman, who, while reading
the newspaper, felt bothered by the
buzzing of wasp about his head,
knocked it down. 1t fell through the
open window and lay on the sill as if
dead. A few seconds afterward, to
his great surprise, large wasp flew
to the window sill and, after buzzing
around his wounded brother for a few
minutes, began to lick him all over.
The sick wasp seemed to revive under
this treatment, and his friend then
dragged him gently to the edge, grasped
him round the body and flew away with
him. 1t was plain that the stranger,
finding wounded comrade, gave him
aid as well as he could, and then bore
him away home.

A gang of section men were at work
when one of them noticed something
that looked like a bill waving from
the tangled top of a sunfower growing
by the roadside. He Investigated. 1t
was a treasury note for ten dollars.
He walked few steps further, and
there, nodding from a branch of bit
of dog fennel, was another bill of SIM

He called to his companions and the
entire gang threw down their tools
and started on money hunt. For

waddled toward a broad expanse of va

although never saw but one hang
ing, witnessed sight that even pro-
fessional hangmen have not seen, said
A. A. Albrechton, of Columbus, Miss,
to Denver Post reporter. SIT was at
my home. A young Mississippian
named Purdy had been convicted of
murder in the first degree and sem
fenced to hang. The evidence was
wholly circumstantial, and before he
was accused OF. that crime the young
man had borne an excellent reputa-
ton. He was also connected by mar
riage with some of the best people in
the state.
Nevertheless, he was sentenced to
hang and the governor would not re-
