ENDURING Record.

Standing side by side in an old Long
Island cemetery are four tomhstones.
They commemorate the virtues of the
successive wives of one of the towns
inhabitants, who. fl om the point of eX.
perience at least, should be able to
rival Max O'Rell as an observer of
feminine traits. A peculiar thing about
the monuments is that not alone do
they perpetuate the memory of each
of his helpmates, but they serve as a
sort of financial barometer to record
the husbands rising fortunes.
The first wife had a modest little
headstone. The second wifes me-
mortal was on the same order, but it
was at least two feet taller. The third
wife differed both as to style and size.

Sailed Without a Rudder.

The British battleship Hood has just
accomplished feat which reflects the
greatest credit on her officers. She
sailed from Malta to Devonport, dis
tance of 2,035 miles, without rudder,
at an average speed of nearly thirteen
knots. She made a run from Argos
toll to Malta with disabled rudder,
and when an examination was made at
the latter port it was found that she
would have to have a new steering
apparatus. The old rudder was
shipped aboard and the ship started
for home, steering with her twin
screws. Her performance would have
been a very good one for battleship
with rudder and without one 1t is
regarded as most remarkable.

They were made for a colored man,
Harvey Murray who works in saw
mill in Tirrell. Ark. He went to Mem

to fit him, and after making a round
OF all the stores in that city, was un.
able to find any. One of the clerks
in the last store that he visited sug-
gested that he have pair made. The
customer consented, and his feet were
measured.
A special pair of lasts had to be
made. 1t took nearly an entire skin
OF patent kid for the vamps, and about
all that was good in side Of sole
leather for the soles. The customer
insisted that they have rubber heels,
and it was with difficulty that a pair
large enough was secured. The shoes
were SO large that they would not go
into the lasting machine, and had to
be lasted by hand. 1t took about three
weeks to get them through the fac.

Especial to The Heraid.)
Ogden, Jan. 23.-Today-Jan. %
marks an anniversary of more than
passing interest to a large number of
people in Ogden. for this day was the
golden wedding day of two respected
and useful citizens of the Junction
City-Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Horrocks.
Fifty years ago at Macclesheld, Eng
land, the two were married in Presbury
church and both having Joined the
Mormon church, they set said for
America in the spring of 1854.
They arrived at New Orleans and
came from that city to Utah by OK
team. After remaining in Salt Lake
about a year, they took up their resi-
dence in ogden, which they have ever
since maintained, excepting for a pc
riod OF six months.
This was when, at the time of the
southern exodus, they remained at
Spanish Fork. During his residence in
Salt Lake, Mr.. Horrocks assisted in
the foundation work of the temple. He
was a member of the territorial militia
and took part in the movements of that
body incident to the Johnson army
episode From 1860 to 1862 he freighted
-four and other merchandise from Og-
den northwest into Montana, having
numerous experiences with hostile In
dams.
He was one of the first to foresee the

placed his home, and is today the oldest
survivor in point of residence in that
locality, which has since become the
fashionable residence district of the
city.
In 1865 Mr. Horrocks engaged in mer-
camille business, which he built up to
great success. but retired in 1899. turn
ing it over to his sons He has been
school trustee and member of the city
council, besides holding numerous other
important positions.
Mrs. Eliza Kingsford. a sister of Mr..
Horrocks, now resident Of Ogden. was
present at the wedding ceremony at
Freesburg church, when he took as
bride Miss Catherine Buckinham, who
has for fifty years shared his life. They
have had thirteen children, and of these
seven are living. all in Ogden. They
are Edward, Joseph and Richard Hor-
rocks. Mrs. H. H. Rolapp. Mrs Jane
Davis, Mrs. Joseph Baxter and Mrs. E.
S. Rolapp. They also have twenty-four
grandchildren.
The aged couple are not in Ogden to
receive congra tulations, as they are
spending the winter in the milder CLINE
Of Los Angeles.
Several messages were sent them
and it is assured that on their return
the anniversary viii be fittingly cele-
brated by their relatives and friends
in the beautiful city which they helped
to redeem from wilderness.
