That she has a fault organic-Eabiiity &c

One ancestor came from Leyden, sixteen

And another sang with Haydn in his last
immortal score;
Still another fought with glory In the great
Electors time
This does not concern the story, only keeps
the tune and rhyme;
You are longing to discover, ere Pegasus
takes his flight
That my lady has a lover. as Is every
maiden's right
He is steadfast and pedantic, caring not
for birds and flowers;
She, "inconstant" and romantic, blooming
through the summer hours.
Every TWO that's in the garden is to her
scented shrine,
AS for him-I crave his pardon, IL indeed

The COMPLETE beside the river nothing

But yellow weed forever nodding by the

The mere fact that Mary Jane Cornish.
Of Allen, Md. had fiery red hair would not
be very peculiar were it not for the fact
that Mary Jane herself is as black and
shiny as the ace Of spades. Her hair,
though red, is as kinky as it would be If
1t were black. Mary Jane was born with
red hair, and it has been a misfortune to
her, for as a child she had to stand the
jibes of all her neighbors, black and white

Both cattle and sheep were on full

HER VOWS RENEWED
Kenosha Woman Makes New and
Sloemn Pledge to Her Husband.
AlleweA to Continue - Preside Over

ous Restrictive ana Bind
ing Rules.

The wife of Kenosha (Wis.) man
has taken an oath renewing her mar
rage vows. For some time the FAM
ily had been badly broken up by in
ternal troubles. The husband had
started an action for divorces and
when tho wife heard of his action
she was deeply penitent and, going
to her husband, she asked that all
be forgotten and that the papers be
withdrawn.
The husband decided to be lenient
with his wife, but, lest the same
troubles should arise again, he in
sisted that she go before q notary
and take binding obligation to
show her penitence and TO give as
surance of her actions for the fu-
ture.
| The woman consented and, going
to the Office of the attorney who
had drawn the divorce papers, she
subscribed her name to an oath
which is probably the most unusual
pledge ever exacted by husband
from wife. The oath was as fol-
lows:
