In August. 1884, George Sizer, one of

New York, who stated that he had come
in possession Of half dollar with the
name George Sizer, Harrodsburg KY
stamped on it, and if it was of any value
to him to send so cents and he would
return the coin with the name on it.
Mrs. Sizer was quite i'll at the time and
the letter was never answered. The coin
is still in circulation, for a few DAYS ago
another letter came here addressed to
George Sizer. 1t was dated Baltimore.

This letter was also given to Mrs Mary

For Bounty in Vermont.

Edward NJ. Brown came into the city
clerks Office this morning with the skin
of a fox, which he had just shot in South
Burlington. He asked that the bounty be
paid him according to the law made by
the last Legislature, which put q price
upon the heads Of foxes. rattlesnakes and
hedgehogs He took oath to the fact that
he shot the fox in South Burlington. and
that the animal was running at large in
an untamed condition. City Clerk Ma
comber then made hole through the left
ear of the fox. This ceremony being duly
performed, Mr.. Brown got an order on the
city trea surer for rs cents. This is the
first fox of the season. Only one bounty
has been given here on hedgehog since
the noxious animal law was established in
1902 and not any on rattlesnakes.-Bur-

UNMARRYING LAWS ABROAD.
In France the Wedding Presents Go with
the Divorce.

There are many curious and interest
ing facts regarding the marriage and di-
vorce laws of foreign countries" said Il.
j. Brown, who recently returned from Il
trip abroad, where he made a study Of
the question.
Breaches of promise. are averted in
Hungary by an express declaration Of
the civil marriage act $500 that the
relations created by betrothal do not
give the right to command the con-
clusiOn of q marriage, but If either party
withdraws from an engagement without
just reasons he or she is bound TO grant
compensation to the extent Of the outlay
incurred. Divorce in the English sense
does not exist, but the courts can decree
the personal separation of q married
couple without dissolving the bonds of
matrimony.
"A curious law prevailing in France
provides that, before being married, chill
dren of family, although over age, shall
seek in respectful and formal terms the
advice of their father and mother 1t
makes no difference, however. whether
the consent of parents is given, for the
couple can, be married month after I'M
der any circumstances. This is also the
case in the Netherlands.
"A divorce further entities the limo
cent party to recover all the presents he
or she may have made.
According to the constitution of the
Netherlands, the civil marriage must al
WAYS precede the religious ceremony.
The latter, indeed, is left entirely to the
conscience Of the parties concerned.
There is also n law providing that no
man or woman under thirty can marry
without the consent of parents. If the
consent he refused the couple have to
appear before a judge, who advises them
as he thinks best.
MANY countries have now abolished
all marriage fees. This is the case in
Norway, while in the Netherlands GER
tain days in the week are set apart when
persons may be married without pay
ment. '-Indianapolis News.

THE POETS PRAYER.

A poet prayed aloud for power to sing
To all mankind one sweet, soul thrIl'inS
song.
To bring forgetfulness Of daily wrong,
And swift surceaSe Of transient trials bring.
Ger all the land his earnest prayer took
wing,
Soft echoing, here and there amid the
throng,
From heart to heart, as gently borne
along
AS breeze-blown fragrance from the flow
ers in spring.
And when the poet walked among his kind,
Behold! they did great homage to his
name:
Gave thanks for endless good his words
had wrought,
And blessed the teachings of a master
mind.
Nor knew he whence came luster to ais
fame:
For 10. his prayer had been the song he
sought!

Social Glasses in Our Schools

This separation Of social classes in our
public schools threatens the understandings
between class and class, between capital
and labor, between men and women who
resent and ought to resent being called
the masses" and men end women who
know them only as the employer knows
the employed. Hate on one hand, disgust
for the ''canaile'' on the other, seem far
enough from a modern republic. but they
are easily reached when the children are
divided. the sheep on one side the educa-
tional fence, the goats on the other. "We
used to go to school together. Do you re-
me1nber?" is more than the formula Of
common greetbNo The Worlds Work.
