Growing Justify ever since.
Young Wife Is Pretty.
Miss Bissell lived at the time of her
marriage with Mrs. Shepard, but pre-
vious to that she occupied rooms in the
house of one of Mr.. Huling's tenants,
and it was there that the old gentleman
met and learned to admire her. Perhaps
the enthusiastic praise of the young
woman's landlady attracted him as much
as anything else, but the principal rea-
son was supposedly her good looks.
However, meetings were arranged and
the couple were occasionally seen on the
streets of North Bennington. This
aroused no particular comment.
Indeed, until after the surprised
housekeeper, the night Mr. Huling was
arrested on the charge of intoxication,
notified the opposing relatives that
there was evidently wedding on the
tapis for that evening only very few
persons had knowledge that the old gen.
tleman really seriously contemplated
matrimony. So the whole affair was
actually a sort of eonnubial bombshell.
Wealth of Bridegroom.
Columbus Huling, the bridegroom, is
said to be worth about 100000. That is
not believed to be an exaggeration. One

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 grilse may be dis
tinguished from a salmon. To an old
fisherman the problem presents no diff
ficulty. The grilse has a 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, the
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 the
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.

She could not understand the painful
situation created by his absence. He
had promised to send a carriage for
the wedding party, and none having
come, rather than delay the ceremony,
she, in all her wedding finery, had walked
to the scene of the nuptial ceremony,
only to find it a place of desolation for
her. The minister did his best to COM
fort her, but His words were unavail-
ing, and, sorrowfully, with the we'd
ding finery painfully homogeneous on
North Bennington streets, she, still a
maid, with her sister and friend,
tramped back to her boarding place.
Public Sides with Old Man.
The next day Bennington and
North Bennington awoke to the mari
tai tragedy which was being enacted
in their midst and the citizens wit
messed the efforts of Octogenarian
Huling to attain his hearts fondest
desire. First amused, then angered,
the residents eventually took sides
with the old gentleman and applauded
his determination to maintain his
rights.
The charge of intoxication was set
tied without difficulty, there being no
evidence to substantiate the allega-
ton, but an application was immedi-
ately made for the appointment of a
guardian on the ground that he was
incapable of managing his own affairs,

Red is the color for the children
this year, and as a rule 1t is very be-
coming; agrees well with sunny hair,
Is not too startling for q brown-eyed

pale blues, faint green and of course
white. White for best is ever the taste.
Pique and thin materials over col.
ored slips are employed for these
dresses, and the latter has much style
about it. But speaking Of smartness
with reference to children's clothes, we
recently, in the publication called "Style
and the American Dressmaker," came
across a design which seemed to us
particularly fetching; it is reproduced
in the accompanying illustration. The
frock Is red challie trimmed with vel

years Of age.
AS a rule, little girls dresses are va
riations on just two models; the one
piece frock with long waist outlined
by belt passing through straps; and

effect may be given, as in the illustra-
ton, with no undue business, but
generally the simpler the little dress
the better. Square and round Jokes
give a change, and we have in mind
nice model for the child too young
to don the two-piece frock; there is a
square neck effect in the gimp of
white, and the under sleeves are also
of white; the frock is natty check

plaits, one down the middle Of the
front, commencing at the square neck,
one each side starting from the shout,

Challie, cashmere, henrietta and mo-
hair are the materials selected for

are made so as to be tubbable; dainti-

things are to be seen nowadays in the

delicate shade is desired, the tufting
affording delicate contrast. The USE

ular color is made use of for the par

be of that color rather than white.

train on the Duluth, Missaba q Nor.
thern tracks near Virginia, and died
half an hour later. He had been to
the city purchasing provisions and was
en- route home at the time, and was un-

cars ran over him, cutting off one arm
and one leg, besides mangling him In
other parts of the body. He was about
40 years of age, married and had one
child.
Anton Genet, aged %, mine en-

completely from his body while riding
on cage of a timber shaft at the Bes-

riding on the cage Genei was disre-

any one from making use of the cage
in that manner. and the injury was re-

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 would-be 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. It is that on complaint a
warrant charging intoxication may
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 police
officer, who went in the relatives car
riage to the octogenarian's residence.
While intoxication is a 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-
tion was useless. The police officer in
sisted that Columbus Huling should ac-
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 a
fearful farewell. Into Bennington rode
the sad but wrathful prisoner and hts
captor and disembarked at the Put
nam house, where, in comfortable con-
finement, the disheartened groom
elect was kept over night.

the reader to suppose boys, too, were
to receive attention. First let US
make provision for the very small lad
die, the one so young as to have just
got into his first knickers. Over these
garments will be worn q trim little
tunic (note illustration) double
breasted, fastening down the side with
sizeable buttons, open at the neck to
disclose a white flannel shield. The
belt may be of white kid and the
stitched facing of white. If white is
not thought practical, color contrast
ing well with the material Of the tunic
should be chosen for shield and the
trimmings.
The Russian blouse for small boys
is longer than it used to be, and for
the boy over five there is a decided
tendency to make use Of the sailor
suit. The wearer likes it better, too,
is picturesque. For the winter party
there may be worn over good thick I'M
derwear the pretty white suit of last
summer-if it is still large enough.
One recently brought to our notice was
linen, and there were black silk tabs
in front which tied with white cord.
A fetching sailor suit had colored
trousers with white blouse, the collar,
tie and anchors the color Of the trous-
ers.
Now let us speak Of frocks for the
larger girls. For school wear there
are such fine plaids this season, the in.
visible ones especially good. We thor
oughly liked the design displayed at
one Of the good shops, and thought how
effective the dress and how easily 1t
could be copied by the home dressmak-
er. 1t was of blue and brown plaid
serge, the skirt kilt. The waist had
box-plaited back and front, and the
plat at either side the middle plat
was ornamented with small fancy but
tons. There was pointed yoke of the
plaid, over which the shoulder plaits
crossed, and from the point Of which
the middle plat began. A green leath-
er belt and neat turnover collar COM
pleted the frock.
An equally attractive little dress was
of green and white checked tweed
piped with white cloth. This skirt
was made with broad plat and mar
row alternating, the effect that of a
broad panel and set-in plat; there was
a chemisette of white cloth, and broad
bands of piped tweed, the waist had a
narrow vest of the tweed piped where
il fastened in the middle, a broad band
of piped tweed came from the Shout
der down either side of the vest, these
bands decorated with small white but
tons. The sleeves were puffy above
the elbow, and where the long close
cuff met the uppers was band Of
piped tweed. The collar also was
piped.

Winter Blouse and Shirt Waist

Heavy tub waists are well to the
fore, and for matinee and dressy wear
the sheerest lingerie blouse remains
in favor. The former keeps its fresh
ness better than the latter, is to be pre-
ferred for shopping and such mat
tiers. A chiffon blouse the shade of the
skirt is ultra, and as pretty a fashion
as can be; this kind of waist cleans
nicely, some can even be washed.
The shirt waists are plain and not
too snug, an easy fit again the thing
in both waist and bodice. A style much
esteemed has central box plait down
the front, and double box plaits at each
side; the back may be plain, or have
a shirt yoke below which double box
plat extends down the middle. On
the front side plaits pockets may be
set, pocket flap and front plat orna-
mented with pearl buttons.
A fancier waist is Of fine linen, to be
worn with an exuisitely fine embroid-
cred gimp. 1t is plated from the
shoulders to the belt, and cat down a
little in a rounded line, the neck fin
ished with fiat rounded collar, either
of white or colored linen. The linen
models are copied in other materials,
in broadcloth, silk and flannel. One
excellent violet waist of aeavy silk
was fashioned on the same sewers plan
as the first waist described. the trim
ming buttons Of shaded violet. And
we mention here that the shaded but
tons give fine touch to Che modish
waist, and that shaded buckets also
are in fashion.
Gray is most fashionable, and we no.

Hail. cashier of the North Bennington
national bank, for the position. Mr..
Huling, not unnaturally, made a de-
cided objection, claiming he was per-
fectly competent to manage his bust
ness and insisting that if he wanted
to get married it was his own affair
and did not concern anyone else.
Nevertheless, his contention was in
effectual and Mr.. Hall took charge of
his estate. The old gentleman then
sought an opportunity to see his at
torney, but even this privilege was
denied him, and all one afternoon the
citizens of Bennington witnessed the
edifying spectacle of the old gentle
man being restrained from consult
ing with lawyer.
His Rights Restored Him.
Such a condition of affairs could not
exist for long, and within a few
days, by the aid of Miss Bissell, Mr..
Huling was enabled to see his coun-
sci, who promptly called the attention
of the probate judge to the situation
and peremptorily insisted that the old
gentleman's rights be granted to him.
To relieve the pressure Miss Bissell
was advised to bring writ of habeas
corpus, which she did, and after the
hearing the judge decided to dissolve
the guardianship, physician testify
ing that Mr.. Huling was not insane
and showed ability to manage his
own affairs.
We'll get married now" said the
old gentleman determinedly, immedi-
ately after the conclusion of the court
proceedings.
But l haven't any Clothes" blush
ing1y said Miss Bissell, as the gath
ering in the law office exchanged
glances of amusement.
Clothes or no Clothes" vehement
ly insisted the old gentleman, well
have the whole thing settled right
here and now for good, and we won't
have any more arrests or guardians
or anything of that Sort"
"Just think of the pretty white
dress 1 made and wore up to the
wedding" half-protestingly declared
the young woman.
Are Made Man and Wife.
"Oh, that's all over now, firmly de-
clared Mr.. Huling. i've got the
license right here in my pocket, and
I guess we can find a minister who
will fix us up all right. We won't
take any chances on going out, for
they might have some other writ or
summons against me, but Wen be
married right here in this office, and
then they can see where they land"
Miss Bissell could but assent to the
demand of the old gentleman, and a
messenger was dispatched for min
lister. ~ev. C. w. Rowley, Phi. d.,

Boston.-Although Columbus HUI

Columbus Huling is at present in
his eighty-first year, while his pretty
bride, Miss Jennie Bissell, blooming
lass, has but just recently celebrated
her twenty-fourth birthday. Huling's
neighbors are applauding him for his
sturdy defiance of almost every form
of opposition and carrying out his OBJ
ject.
When the aged bridegroom, a wild
over for several years, decided short
time ago that he needed another part
ner to complete his happiness, he cast
his eyes around for suitable girl. In
stead of youthful charms to attract her
he offered to share his fortune, esti-
mated at 100000, with any young
maiden who was willing to accept him,
anG of whom he approved.
octogenarian Meets His Bride.
In his quest he had become acquaint-
ed with Miss Bissell, and two months
age he received the joyous news that
she was willing to take him.
While working girl, she has much
grace and charm of manner, and in
face and figure is good for masculine
eyes to gaze upon. Not a whisper ever
has been heard against her character,
and many of the young men of the
town had cast sheepish eyes in her
direction long before the octogenarian
dargled his glittering gold before her
vision.
Yet the devoted swain who won her
consent found that much was be-
fore him besides the trembling yes"
he so ardently petitioned for.
The law must sanction the contract
the couple were willing to enter into,
and, while nothing in the statutes
could bar the union the preliminary
red tape proceedings involved more or
less publicity which might give
designing relatives an opportunity
