ENDED.

The Marriage of . Couple stops Gossip
In the East.
The end Of the troubles of Miss
Jennie Howell Of Scranton, Pa, and
Edward B. Dean OF Hackensack, N. j..
came when they were married. The
courtship of Mr.. Dean and Miss Howell
was attended by unusual difficulties.
The young couple met at Atlantic City
last summer and were mutually at
tracted. Miss Dean was a woman Of
81, and an invalid. Mr.. Dean was a
widower of As, and each was we'll stu
ated with regard to worldly goods.
Mr.. Dean frequently visited Miss How
ell in Scranton. and a story was soon
circulated that they were engaged.
This was violently opposed by Miss
Howell's brother, Franklin Howell,
who instituted proceedings to have her
declared a lunatic. How these pro-
ceedings finally collapsed in the face
of the testimony of expert physicians
from Philadelphia was told in the pa
pers a short time ago. In answering
the questions of the marriage license
docket in court, Mr.. Dean had placed
on the records mention OF the fact
that he was divorced from his first
wife in Cameron county in December,
1879. and his second wife died on
March II, 1900.

A Teachers Testimony.

Hinton. KY, Oct. 30th.-(Special.)
1t has long been claimed that Dia-
betes is incurable, but Mr.. E. J.
Thompson. teacher in the Hinton
school. has pleasing evidence to the
contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Diabe-
tes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and
a cured. In a statement he makes
regarding the cure Mr.. Thompson
says:
Il al troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two Of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
/ had Diabetes and there was little to
be done for me. Then l started to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they
did for me was wonderful. 1t is en-
tirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills
that l am now enjoying good health"
Many doctors still maintain that Di-
kbeEes is incurable. But Diabetes is a
kinney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
hns yet to be discovered.

my dear mistress, Is not this .
strange advsnture?"
Every strange" replied the princess,
casting her eyes to the door. and then
slowly raising them to that vacant
spot.
What do you think Of the strange
man." the slave girl pursued, sitting
down by her lady's side.
What do you think OF him?" said
Ulin.
Il think he is very handsome. He
is the most noble looking man l eve
saw"
Ulin showed by her look that she
was grateful for this answer. It pleas
ed her, though she may not have
known 1t.
Such a man could not be a bad
man." she said. Deception cannot
dwell in such a face"
Il should think not" returned Abba,
to whom the remarks had been put in
the form OF questions.
"And what do you think of the story
he told concerning the robber Julian?"
tAAAA AC ~ I'D AN CuCA, "y
lady. AS he went on with the tale,
l remembered that l had heard it just
so before. He told us the truth"
Then the king must be a hard, bad
man, Albia?"
Il must not answer you lady. The
king is to be your husband, and it is
not we'll that you should urge me to
speak against him."
Indeed, girl, T asked you to do no
such thing. l did not mean that you
should speak against the king"
Then you should have asked me no
question touching his character. l
would rather talk Of this nan who
has just left us. l, who am only a
poor slave, could love such a man"
Ulin lifted her hand to her heart,
and pressed it there as though some
new feeling had crept in to worry her,
and, as she sat thus, one of her black
slaves came in to see if she would like
her supper.
mot now, Calypso" said the prin-
cess, starting UP. "You may bring
me some grapes, and a few dates. But
first, tell me what these strange men
are doing. How many of them are
there here?"
mot more than a score of them are
in the palace, my mistress, but there
are thousands of them outside of the
valley.
Ulin had no disposition to argue the
point; so she asked what the robbers
were doing.
Abba" said the princess, after the
black slave had gone, II do not believe
that Julian is such a terrible looking
man, after all. What do you Think"
Il think" replied Abba, that peo-
pie have described him who never saw
him, and that their fear-fraught mag
nations drew the picture"
so l think" returned Ulin. She
gazed a few moments upon that old
vacant spot, and then added: Il shall
see him on the morrow, and I must say
that the thought is not frightful. /
feel assured that he means me no
harm"
Yet" ventured Abba, sit is a curl
Gus whim which should lead him to
| seek to release you from the hands of
the king. But 1 don't know as we can
wonder at it. Perhaps he thought you
were some ~sriendless girl who did not
know"
The princess motioned for her COM
panion to stop.
I'VE will not talk Of the king, AL
bia: and, touching this Julian, we
| shall know more when we see him"

We set traps to lead her into an ad- mission of the evil in animal nature, but she always managed to make out 8 good case for her dumb friends. One day we felt that We at last had d case in which she could have no possible sympathy for the animal. It was a dreadful story, published in a newspaper, of a baby who had liter ally been eaten alive by ferocious cat. We gave her the clipping, and watched with satisfaction the tears gather in her eyes as she read. "We'Ve got her now!" we murmured triumph antly. Finally, she looked up, and We all held our breath to listen to her comment. She sopke in heartbroken tones "Think,' she said, just think how hungry the poor cat must have been, Hampers Weekly.
