CRIPPLED MAN WANTED BRIDE
 SIMILARLY AFFLICTED.
Got What He Wanted by Judicious Newspaper Advertising of Finger Leads to Happy <.
 Marriage.

In an eastern paper recently there appeared the following curious adver- tisement:
 Matrimony.-Advertiser a young man of N, of good family, steady, and in receipt of good salary, is anxious to meet with young lady who, like himself has had the misfortune to lose the right leg. No other applicants save those who have lost leg will be considered. Address, etc.
 The young man, it appears, who had a year before met with the accident which had deprived him of his right leg, was extremely sensitive about his misfortune, and could not be convinced that he was not an object of pity to everyone with whom he became ac- quainted, especially women.
 He therefore hit on the novel plan of advertising for partner similarly afflicted in order that he might be sure that she was not marrying him in pity. He had large number of replies from girls who were pretty and sound in wind and limb, who declared them selves perfectly willing to marry a one- legged man and look after him all the days of his life, but these generous of ferS the young man threw aside at once, Then came applications from correspondents who, though they had certainly met with painful accidents, were. not afflicted in manner similar to the advertiser.
 One girl had lost her right hand, an- other an eye, third her nose, and so on. These offers were also rejected. Among the batch, however, were four who had each lost leg; but as. two of these were over 40 they were also laid aside as unsuitable.
 The remaining two were asked to appoint a place of meeting. which they did, and the young fellow interviewed them. One turned out to be negress, which debarred her from securing the prize, but the last appeared to be just the girl the advertiser was looking for She was young, healthy, pretty, bright, and-she had lost her left leg. The young man gave and received full particulars" which turned out so sat- isfactorily that the two are now man and wife. The marriage is said to have turned out particularly happy one.
 One can hardly believe that the fact of having lost finger, and that the

q statement that Japanese troops have been landed at Takushan, fairly good port, about forty miles from the mouth of the Yalu.
 A Tokyo dispatch says Japanese warships have bombarded the forts at Talienwan Dalny) and afterward made an attack on Port Arthur
 It is believed at Tokyo that there has already been a decisive naval en- gagement in the vicinity of Vladivos- tok, and tidings of 1t are anxiously awaited. a" ftr
 The Japanese fleet did not, it Is said, go to Vladtvostok for the purpose of bombarding the town, but to locate and attack the armored cruisers Gro moboi, Rossia, Rurik and the cruiser Bogatyr, the Russian fleet under the command of Captain Reitzenstein sta tioned there.
 A dispatch from Weihaiwei says:
 "It is reported on good authority that collision between Japanese and Russian troops has occurred near Hai- jul, Korea, lfty-four miles northwest of Chemulpo, which resulted in the de- feat of the Russians"
 1t is reported that the Japanese ad- vanced from the Yalu river, captured Fungwangchang and drove out the Russians in the vicinity to the Taku- ling eastern pass and are in force seventy miles east of Newchwang. The Russians, with 35,OO0 men, are in- trenched strongly at Liaoyang and Haicheng, where fighting is imminent Some small engagements already have been fought, the Russians retiring, with losses.
 It Is said in London that if the news of this strange and marvellous collapse of Russian power on land Is true there is nothing to prevent the Japanese from seizing Mukden and the railroad. There has been nothing to compare with this move, experts say, since Napoleon stag gered Europe by appearing in the plains of Italy, having descended from the Alps as from the clouds It's effect throughout the east will be stupendous.

little one, would so prey upon mans mind as to induce him to contemplate self-destruction, yet this was the case with William Driege, a man who was employed at one time on a farm in Kent, England, and who lost his digit in a threshing machine. After the ac cident Driege became so depressed and melancholy that his friends had some fears of his losing his reason. Tn vain he was joked about his accident and asked if he hadn't nine good fingers left, but his melancholy only increased. Then one day his brother, who was trying to arouse him from his depres- sion, lost his temper and declared that he ought to receive a good hiding in stead of sympathy.
 Look at Mary Wells" he exclaimed, indignantly; s'she lost her finger the binders' where she's employed, and she don't go snuffling round about it. I'll bring her round to see you, and if she don't make you ashamed of yourself I give 1t up." ...
 He was true to his word and next evening brought the young woman round. She was the l1vel1est girl Will liam Driege had ever met, and she suc- ceeded so well in cheering up the mel ancholy one that he begged her to come again. This she did, and sev- eral times after, until William was SO much improved that Miss Wells sug gested that there was no further need for her visits. . ...@.
 This, however, was by no means to Williams taste, and he there and then asked her if she would continue her visits indefinitely, which, after some hesitation, she agreed to do. William has since been heard to say that the loss of his finger was the greatest piece of luck he ever had, since in return for it he obtained the prettiest little hand that one could possibly de- sire to possess.
