A dispatch from Columbia. Mo-,
says:
The marriage for the third time Of
Mrs. Shaffar th-Altheiser-Smith

married to three other husbands, gives
Mrs. Smith the most remarkable mat
rimonial record Of any woman in Mis-.

divorce laws of Missouri by a woman
who is active and industrious and not
slow in either falling in or our Of love.
Mrs. Smiths maiden name was Far.
ME Torrance. Her first husband was
Nose Shaffer, 70 whom she was mar
ried when quite young. After living
with him for a time she secured a di-
yorce and shortly thereafter was mar
ried % Moke Smith, her present hus-
band. Their honeymoon was scarcely
w when she again divorced and
married Fred Altheiser.
After a few months Of bliss with
Altheiser, she came To the conclu-
sion that she had misjudged Smith,
her former husband, and that perhaps
he was a better fellow than she had
thought. AS fast as the Galloway
county courts would permit. she was
divorced from him and was again Mrs.
Smith.
Her second trial as Mrs. Smith
proved no mode enjoyable than the
first, and she soon applied for a sec
ond divorce from Smith.
On the same day she secured the
second divorce. she vac married to J.
II. Berry. one of her childhood suit,
ors. He Jared no better than her form
er husbands, and she soon left him,
only. however, to return and be renal
ried to him a few months later.
Mrs. Smith has always lived near
Calwood. Galloway county, and her
various husbands are living in the
same locality. 50 far as can be learn
ed, her many matrimonial ventures
have caused no hard feelings toward
each other of the husbands, and they
have accepted their fates with becom.

Notwithstanding her many marriag-
es and divorces, Mrs. Smith is still a
young and very handsome woman.
Her marriages have all occur.
