One year when we were spending
our vacation in Maine large party
was held at one of the neighboring
farmhouses. 1t was to celebrate the
93d birthday of an old resident in the
vicinity. There were five generations
present. A local photographer, Mr..
Robins. was to take their picture. He
was very slow, and the baby, about
months old. was very uneasy.

Excuse Of an Ardent lrishman Who
Tilted a Widow.

Excuse Of an Ardent lrishman Who
Tilted a Widow.
"A weakness for proposing marriage
to any good-looking woman he came
across" was part of the defense raised
in breach of promise action heard
at Liverpool assizes, says the London
Mail.
The ardent lover was James w.
O'Hara, formerly a village gardener,
who two years ago became entitled,
with his two sisters, to 924,000 left by
an aunt. The woman who sued was a
middle-aged widow, Martha Fairhurst
of Aughton, Ormskirk.
The wooing was not romantic, and
Mr.. O'Hara's views, continued counsel,
were represented in words of Owen
Meredith:
We may live without poetry, music or
art,
We may live without conscience and live
without heart;
We may live without friends, we may
live without books,
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks.
At first the widow thought Mr.
OHara was merely chatting her." but
he wrote formal offer of marriage,
asked the consent of her sons and
daughters and invited neighbors to the
wedding. Then his ardor cooled and
he refused explanations.
The defense was Mr.. O'Hara had an
inclination for making proposals when
intoxicated. A woman said Mr.. O'Hara
bad asked her. as well as her mother
and her sister. to be his wife, while
another witness remarked that two or
three other women were waiting the
result of the present action before 60
ing for Mr.. O'Hara for solatiums for
blighted hopes.
The jury awarded Mrs. Fairhurst
G225 damages.
