SCENES BEHIND GLASS
Florists Import Bits ofithe Field and
Forest for Window Displays.

In midsummer the town florists keep
their shop windows just as attractive
as In spring. In one window, filed with
field flowers, floats at viii company
of bees and butterflies Thudding of
the black and yellow bees against the
glass draws attention 10 the window
that has not already been won by
country bloom or light laden butterfly
wings.
Thoroughly pleasing is the window
which has been converted into a gar
den of decided landscape pretensions.
Grass reed Is sprouting over th, gent
ly undulating lawn that covers tho en-
tire floor Of the window. A grove Of
dwarf maple trees fourishes in the
background Below the grove lies a
lake. On the water float various kinds
of little water plants About the rim
of the lake runs a border of shrubs and
vines e-a

OctOgenarian Takes Bride of
Twenty-Four Despite OBJ

one of the interested relatives. An
examination of the town clerks records
disclosed the whole situation; the truth
was laid bare. Apparently the old man
and his fiancee had outwitted the en-
tire array of relatives-the license was
issued, the minister engaged, and the
groom-elect only awaited the coming of
the wouldbe bride, for the final part
of the amorous chapter.
How best to prevent the dreaded
event was the question uppermost in
the minds of the distracted relatives.
They had before them only two or three
hours at the utmost, and whatever was
to be done must be done quickly. Right
at this point one of the laws of the
state of Vermont came to their
aid. 1t is that on complaint a
issue, and police officer is empowered
to serve this at any time or place within
the Jurisdiction where he has authority.
Relatives Get Out Warrant.
Without delay the opposing relative
hurried to the Office of a magistrate
and there made oath that on such and
such a date Columbus Huling, of North
Bennington, had been intoxicated on
the streets of Bennington. A warrant
was made out and given to a police
officer who went in the relatives car
riage to the octogenarian's residence
While intoxication is misdemeanor.
and an officer cannot forcibly enter a
mans house with a warrant for such
a minor crime. the Vermont law makes
an exception in regard to drunkenness,
and the Bennington policeman went di
rectly into Mr.. Huling's dwelling and
asserted his authority.
Entreaty was of no avail expostula-
ton was useless. The police officer in
sisted that Columbus Huling should &C
company him, and he did, pathetically
glancing back at the little house where
he had anticipated so much happiness
as he climbed into the carriage before
the door. In imagination one could
almost observe Cupid waving him
fearful farewell. Into Bennington rode
the sad but wrathful prisoner and his
captor and discmbarked' at the Put
nam house, where. in comfortable con-
finement, the disheartened groom
elect was kept over night.
Bride Finds Bridegroom Missing.
An hour after his departure the eX-
pectant young woman who was to be-

of his brothers left an estate estimated
of the western real estate in which
Columbus had an equal part, so it is con-
sidered that one-third that amount is
very conservative figure of his wealth.
Besides, he has been in receipt of one or
more legacies since He has always been
possessed of sufficient means not to have
to work for a living but he has never
theless been very shrewd and careful in
the management of his property and
under his fostering care it has constant
ly increased in value.
Mr. Huling's first wife died about ten
years ago and shortly afterward his one
child, son, Frank, passed away. His
only relatives are three or four nieces
and nephews, and it was among them, it
was confidently felt, that his wealth
would be divided as there has been a
sort of tradition in the Huling family
not to devote any large sums to public
benefactions. Under the Vermont laws
the surviving member of a married
couple receives from the estate $4,000
and one-half the remainder absolutely.
This means. of course, $4,000 more than
one-half Consequently Columbus Hull
ing's nephews and nieces will receive
less than one-half what they would il
he had remained in single blessedness,
and if his wealth is correctly placed at
100000 this indicates loss of over
100000 to them.

Marks of a Grilse

Some of Recreation's sporting contem-
poraries have published letters of cor
respondents who desire to know the
marks by which a grilse may be dis
tinguished from a salmon. To an old
fisherman the problem presents no diff
ficulty. The grilse has deeply cleft
tail, while that of the salmon. even
when the fish is small, is more nearly
square. In the case of an aged fish, the
tail is actually convex. Again, tha
scales of the grilse are detached with
great facility; you cannot handle a
grilse without the scales becoming de-
tached in quantities, while with an
adult salmon the scales are compare
lively firmly attached. Then there is
an indescribable something about thu
shape of the grilse that distinguishes
it at once to an experienced eye. 1t is
slighter, with smaller, sharper head.
The body is less flexible. Size is NO
guide to the grilse, as on some rivers
grilse are fully as heavy as the small
salmon, though this is contrary to the
general rule in Canadian streams.

come Mrs. Huling, clad in garments of
snowy white and accompanied by her
sister and girl friend, climbed the hill
onVhich the Huling dwelling is located.
The trio was the observed of all OBJ

walking down the trail for nine miles
in this predicament, he met two men,

situation created by his absence He
had promised to send q carriage for
the wedding party, and none having
come, rather than delay the ceremony,
she in all her wedding finery, had walked
tc the scene of the nuptial ceremony,
only to find it place of desolation for
her. The minister did his best to COM
fort her, but his words were unayail-

CULPS DOWN A BOY
Ground Gives Way Beneath Him
One of His Rescuers Also Has
Narrow Escape.

POttsville, Pa.-Returning home with
q pail of water in his hand. ten-year-
old Robert Mahoney, of Broad Noun
tain, was swallowed up by the earth,
and for three hours lay at the bottom
OF 6SfOOt mine breach waiting for
help to arrive.
His rescue was as dramatic as his
disappearance, as he again had a most
remarkable escape from instant death,
as did Richard Appleby, a neighbor,
who was one of the number who
brought him back to the surface
The boy was terribly battered about
the face and body. 1t is believed that
he will recover, but if so, it will be
wonder. The Mahoney family Sc
cure their water from tank near the
railroad, and the boy was sent to Sc
cure a bucketful. He was returning
ever frequently used path when the
ground suddenly gave way beneath
him, and where before the surface
had been apparently solid a deep hole
yawned.
How he escaped instant death cannot
be imagined, but he was rendered I'M
conscious for probably an hour Then,
recovering his senses, he began to call
for help, and his cries were heard
by several neighbors who had gone
out to search for him.
rope was secured and lowered into
the breach, and this he tied about his
waist. Giving signal, he was hoist
cd to the top of the breach AS willing
hands reached out to pull him to
safety the rope parted.
Clutching at some shrubbery, he
stayed his downward flight for frac-
ton of second, which gave Richard
Appleby time to reach out and grasp
him by the coat.
The weight of the body slowly
pulled Appleby to the brink of the
chasm. and just as the horror-stricken
spectators expected both to go down
tc their death, he finally grasped
BUSH all the time retaining his hold
On the boy. Both were caught and
dragged from danger.

the mikado
Mr.. de Roode. brother of Mrs
Brooke, was bending over his dying
sister when he saw his nephew take
the sword from the case.
The artist made an attempt to
thrust the blade into his body, and
Mr.. de ROode sprang at him and
grasped the keen edged weapon. In
the struggle to wrest it Eom the man
so intent on committing suicide the
weapon was plunged into Mr.. de
Roo1e's body, perforating the alb
GoLnen.
Mr.. de Roode fell to the floor. Blood
streamed from the wound in torrent
Mr.. York suddenly regained his senses
and ran to a telephone. He called a
physician, and the injured man was
taken ar once to the hospital, where he
lay four weeks lowering between life
and death: He recovered, and is now
able to attend to his business, although
still suffering from the wound.
Mrs. Brooke, mother of Artist York
never regained consciousness, and
died without knowing of her sons at

cost the life of her brother.
Mr. de Roode's wife is an invalid,
and until his complete recovery the un-
fortunate affair was kept from her for
fear the news would cause her death

was called to New York on business
for the firm.
Mr.. York is 40 years old and was
born in Nashville, Tenn. He studied

nothing left for him in life. Fortu-
nately l was in the room and grasped
the sword from his hands. When he
saw what had been done he recovered

his power to relieve me. He deplored
the accident more than anybody else,
think, and my love for him was only
strengthened.
