Marquis of Anglesey was a field mar

''the dude and spendthrift of the Eng

of Sir George Chetwynd, and her
mother was known as the pocket

woman who before her second mar
rage was the widow of the last Mar

The marquis made his wedding so
famous that it became known as the

figured in the ceremony. The groom and
his bride were both inOrdinately fond OF
precious jewels, and they selected eIner-
aids of the value, it has been said, OF
5000, 900 to mark their wedding day.
Two years after the marriage the
Marchioness of Angelsey applied to the
courts for a divorce. The evidence was
heard gin camera and the public never
learned the cause of complaint. The
divorce was granted, but a rev months
later the nnarchioness asked to have the
decree annulled, and the English courts
restored her to her marital rights Some
$50 600 a year was settled upon her and
she took up a gay life on the continent,

Barrel Steel Storage Tanks.

Don't think for one minute that the
Uncle Sam company is going into the
refinery business on any small scale,
or to be a toy concern. When you
buy stock in this company you are
investing your funds with a company
that has a great future. The COM
pany owns in fee simple one of the
finest refinery sites in southern Kan
sas, it abuts right against the main
line of the Santa Fe railroad, and
while it is conceded that this road is
dominated by a trust, still the laws of
Kansas will control these matters so
far as Kansas is concerned, and there
is a market for all the oil and more,
too, than twenty refineries like the
Uncle sam could put out Come to
Cherryvale and look the property over
and you will not go home until you
have cinched a good big block of this
stock.
