There is no power, or influence, O,

And what is there our early loves tc

Where the strife of ceaseless effort

Ever beat upon the ear?
What to gladden. in the toll where

To outstrip his fellows pace
Where the daylong task is ever az the

No, never, never loved the city.
Never wooed 1t for my home,
And only wait, like some unransomeC

STRING OF PEARLS IN FLESH.
They May Establish the Identity O
Nebraska Woman.

They May Estab1ish the Identity of
Nebraska Woman.
Upon a string of pearls sealed about
her waist when a child and now i'm
bedded in her flesh, Mrs. Joseph Hold.
ober Of Wakefield, Neb., relies to es-
tablish her identity as Mott Pearl,
princess of the house Of Gujelt Singh,
India, and to prove her right to a
fortune Of $4,000 now in the Bank
of England, according to the Boston
Herald. This string of jewels was
put about her waist when girl to
be the insignia of her royal birth.
For fifteen years Mrs. Holdober has
sought to establish her identity and
to prove to the consuls Of Germany
and England in the United States that
she is really little Mott Pearl daugh-
ter. of the Prince of Gujelt Singh, and
it was to lay her claims to his estate
that she left for Washington recently.
Her journey came to an abrupt end
when the Chicago authorities, after a
hasty examination, sent her to Dun
ming asylum and in the same day con-
fined her husband to the detention hos
pital and separated her from her two
small children. Before going east
Mrs. Holdober was examined by sew
eral prominent physicians who made
af1idavit to her sanity and told of max
ing an examination of the woman's
abdomen, where a number of Indian
pearls were imbedded when she was
child.
Four large pearls may still be seen
sewed in her skin, while the scars
where she has cut out half dozen
precious stones tell only too plainly
that poverty has caused her to remove
a gem from time to time and convert
it into cash. The original strand was
worth $4,000. This string Of royal
pearls, together with the story she
tells, is her only evidence Of being an
Indian princess and heiress to over
$500, 900 left by the house of Gujelt
singh and deposited by English off,
Gers In the Bank of England.

Healthy Cnilaren. ---'

Without good health life is not worth
living. Sickly, peevish children are
a source Of endless trouble and anxiety
to their parents, yet the children's con.
dition is frequently due to their par
ents' ignorance or thoughtleesres or
both.
To make children healthy and to
keep them in that condition it is neces-
sary to feed them proper food and to
see that they get plenty of exercise and
fresh air. Meat is very bad for chill
dren. It should be avoided rand food
rich in phosphates, such az Pillsbury' q
Vitos, should be given it its place.
This food is truly the "meat of the
wheat" It is made by the world q
greatest millers and it is free from art
iflcial ooloringso or adulteration. It is
not especially q ohild's food. Your
whole family will enjoy this common
sense cereal. 1t makes wholesome,
substantial breakfast, or an appetizlDg
dessert. and can be prepared in one
hundred different ways.
Every good grocer will supply you
with Pillsbury's Vitos. Large pack
sge-enough to make twelve pounds of
strength building food, 400. Ask your
grocer about it today.

When the Civil War closed the
Union army had an enrolment Of a
little more than a million. !. In June
of this year the report of the Commits
sioner of Pensions showed more than
six hundred and eighty thousand sur
viyors on the pension rolls. There
are probably many veterans who do
not appear on the pension rolls, so that
the number sof survivors is remark
ably large. Certainly the sentimental
cartoon which the newspapers print

represent the facts.

BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT
The Defendants Love Cooled Within
 a Week.

There is a breach of promise action before the district court. It was filed last week but information that service had been obtained on the defendant was not received until yesterday, The plaintiff is Maria R. Ortego and the defendant is John D. Murphy, formerly of this city, but now a resident of Tue son. He is one of the heirs eff the Murphy estate of which Refugia Mur- phy is the present head.
 It is alleged that the plaintiff on Au- gust 10 of last year promised to the defendant, at his request to marry him when she the plaintiff, should be requested" That alone would not seem to be @ strong peg on which tc hang l a breach of promise action for such request might never be made, and be- ! side the only promise so far passed originated with the plaintiff
 But on December 10 of the same year 1 there were further negotiations on the subject when the plaintiff promised 1 the defendant to marry him during January or February"
 It must have appeared to the defend ant the next day that he had got there with his request just in time for the complaint states that on December II she received favorable proposals of marriage from other persons. But hay ing in her mind her plighted troth to Murphy she disdained offers from oth- CTS.
 Not long after that she was sorry she had done so, for she learned that the fickIe Murphy on December 19 had married one Antonia TTuiillo at Tue son. Though the complaint is silent as to that it must have been that the per sons who had been so profuse of pro posals to the plaintiff eight days before had found helpmects elsewhere and the plaintiff could see no living object on the matrimonial horizon. Nothing less than S1O000 will reimburse her for her disappointment and mental anguish caused by the conduct of Murphy

ter swallow it; you will gain either way"
 Repartee has ever flashed brilliantly from the bench. Lord Mansfield, the famous English judge of the second half of the eighteenth century. listened to an argument of the insOIentIy proud Sir Fletcher Norton upon a case in volving certain manoriaI rights. My lord" said Norton. T can instance the point in person. Now, I have myself two little manors" We are well aware of that" said the judge, smiling blandIy.
 Do you see anything ridiculous in my wig" said a judge to the famous Irish barrister. John Curran. Nothing but the head" flew back the retort.
 The late Chief Justice Russell was hearing a trial for bigamy. Whats the extreme penalty for bigamy?" whispered a barrister. 1.-TWO mothers in-law," said Russell.
 Although the law seems to be espe- cially conducive to skill in fencing with words. the church has supplied a large quota of men who delighted in the give-and- take of verbal warfare. The venerable Dr. Thomas Fuller, au- thor of "The WOrthies of England,' however. met his match once when he pronounced the 1OllOMinS QutSllo4 to d certain Dr. Sparrowhawk: Pray what Is the difference between a sparrow hawk and an owI?' Why" came the response, there is a great difference. An owl is fuller in the head, fuller in the body and fuller all Over.' The eloquent Baptist divine, Robert Hall, had a caustic wit. A fippant young woman having broken into his
 reveries in aIusion to his fancee, Miss Steel, by saying: "Ah, sir, if we had but polished steel here, we might se- cure some of your attention; but
 Madam" he replied, make yourself quite easy; if you are not polished steel you are at least polished brass.''
 What are you going to do in hfe?' asked Cardinal Manning of a pert un- derGraduate at Oxford. "Oh, I'm go- ing to take h-ly orders was the airy
 response. Take care you get them,
 my son." came from the prelate. Horne Tooke is credited with this
 daring retort to George. III. who had
 asked him whether he played cards:
