HIS WEALTHY BRIDE.
A Bachelor Who Married For Money
md Lost.


Commissioner of Corporations James
r. Garfield told this story at dinner
In Topeka, apropos Of disappointments:
There was certain crusty old BACH
elor who had employed for seventeen
years faithful cook. This cook had
red hair, freckles and cross eyes. Her
teeth were singularly even and white.
but, then, ten to one her teeth were
false, for she was not likely to have
real teeth Of such beauty. Her age, l
judge, was forty-seven.
Though an adept with the saucepan
and the rolling pin, this faithful wom-
an could not read. Therefore she got
her employer to transact all her little
affairs for her. She had a bank ac-
count of about 500 that he managed.
One day the cook said that she wanted
to withdraw all her savings from the
bank. Her employer was amazed
at has taken you nine years to save
that money" he said. why do you
wish to draw 1t outT'
Because, SIR" replied the cook, "last
night l dreamed the number of the
new lottery. 1t was million and one.
I am convinced that it is the winning
number, and am going to play it,
The bachelor laughed at the cooks
dream. He called her a superstitious
numbskull. He adjured her not to
waste her money on lottery, But the
cook, showing her white false teeth in
an obstinate smile, persisted. She took
her money out of the bank. She risked
it all in q full chance on million and
one.
Thereafter the bachelor often joked
her over her foollshness. He often
asked her If she did not regret the
jeopardy she had put her money In.
She would frown. blush, blink her cross
eyes and leave the room in silence.
Now imagine this mans amazement
when, one morning few weeks later,
he read in his newspaper-in those
days the lottery was legal-that mill
ion and one had taken the grand prize
of S150,000.
The bachelor was not rich. Such a
sum as S150,O0O meant great deal to
him. Furthermore, he knew that his
faithful cook had long loved him afar
off. And she could not read. She
knew nothing of her wonderful for
tune.
He summoned her. Then and there
he proposed marriage. She accepted
him. That day these two became one.
As they sped homeward from their
honeymoon, the man looking indul-
GENTLY at his not young wife, said:
"By the way, want you to let me
see that lottery ticket that we SO often
wrangled over"
"Indeed and can't do that" the
bride said simply. "You laughed and
ioked about 1t so I sold 1t last week to
the butcher" = Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin.

GARDEN COLUMBINES.

There are very few old fashioned
gardens that do not contain some OF
the columbine, 1t is such an old-time
favorlte. Formerly the old purple and
purplsh white sorts were mostly seen,
but since the introduction Of the blue
and yellow one from the Rocky Mount
aims, and the growing under cultivation
the number Of kinds has greatly in
creased. 1t is not alone those men
toned that have been added. When
grown close together. as these sorts
have been, they hybridize one with an
other, the result being that numbers Of
varieties differing from the parent
forms have been obtained, some Of
them of great beauty. Any one pro-
curing a collection of a half dozen or u
dozen sorts would be surprised to see
the diversity of color and habit OF
growth The wild scarlet one Of the
North is one of the first to flower. and
it is yet one of the most distinct of all.
The blue and the yellow ones OF the
Rocky Mountains are also fine, and
the yellow one has the character OF
continuing Towering for some time az
ter its main crop is over. 1t takes
year for columbines to flower unless
the seeds are sown In the summer IS
soon as ripe, in which case the plants
will flower the next spring. This IL
also the case with many other peren'
mails.

A traveller entered the dining room
of leading hotel in Colorado Springs
one Saturday, and after he was serv-

GEORGE HAsTY's STORY.
When seen this afternoon in the
county jail George Hasty, charged
with the : murder Of Mr.. Bennett,
stated that he shot in self-defense,
that neither of the men would take
any explanation and both advanced
on him, one with knife and the
other with something in his hand
but he did not know what. He says
that even after he shot he tried to
Jerk loose from them. He says
that the ladies who testified knew
nothing of the affair, that he did not
invite Mr.. Bennett out but that he
was followed out by both of them,
who cametalmost in run. He says
that he regretted the occurrence
very much but if he had it to do
over again he would do as he did
this time.
He did not care to talk much.

SECOND VICTIM
OF HASTY'S AIM
MR.. ABBOTT DAWSON DIED FROM HIS
WOUNDS.
Good People Deplore Tragedy Which Re-
suited in Death of the TWO theatrical
Men.
Gafney, December 16.-Mr.

Abbot Dawson, who was shot yes
-terday morning by George F1asty,
who at the same time killed Mr..
Milan Bennett, died at 6:25 o'clock
This evening. The end came while
he was surrounded by friends and
fellow members of the orders to
which he belonged.
The coroner's jury are now view
ing his body but will adjourn until
tomorrow vh'>n the testimony will
be taken. The local lodges of
Knights of Pythias and Masons
have ordered floral designs and will
send an escort North with the body.
During the day, while Mr.. Davi-
son lay dying, the physicians and
the faithful women Of his company
have done all in their power for
hirn, giving him every attention.
The town has been ready to do
anything possible for him to relieve
:ais suffering. Those who have re-
n,aSned over with him have express
ed themselves as feeling that they
were. among the best people in the
world.
GAFFNEY's SYMPATHY:
They have been more than pleas
ed BY the expressions from the cltl-
zens and the profers of assistance.
The Masons and Knights Of Py-
thias. have been most attentive, Mr..
Dawson belonging to both. Gafhey
has never had anything to occur in
her history that. has been regretted
more than this. The people realize
that this puts a stain on the town.
The members of this company
have shown themselves to be ladies
and. gentlemen and have every ap-
pearance Of being considerably
above the average show people that
visit this town. Mr.. Walsh, the
manager, is a polished gentleman,
while the comedian, has made
friends by the score, even since he
has been fiat of his back struggling
to keep the faint spark OF life in
his body. Mr.. Bennett, the young
man shot dead, was not a show
naan" as they are called, but a musl-
eian who had gone out with the
company because of his friends con-
nected with it and in order to see
the country. He was to those who
knew him one of the best fellows
alive. This they said Of him before
he was killed. He was a favorite be-.
cause. of his loving and kind dis
position.
THE COMPANY.
The company had been dlsband-
ed and some of the members have
already departed for their homes.
Mr.. Walsh, the director, Miss Bish-
Cd, Miss Sheridan, Mr.. Peck and
Mr.. Taylor are still here.
The 'Nothing But Money" conf
pany is as follows:
Mr.. Abbott Dawson, whose home
was in New York, where he was
well known as a comedian. lie was
formerly with the team OF Dawson
and Talbert, the junior member be-
ing the noted Californian tenor.
Milan Bennett was resident OF
Mauldin. Mass, a suburb OF Bos-
ton, and was we'll known as a COM
