pEAIH oF ~ WALLAoE.


General Lev Wallace, lawyer,
soldier, diplomat, aud author, is
dead, but his story Of ''Ben HuF''
lives and will live for ages to come,
says the Birmingham News.
General Wallace was a unique
character. Born Of prominent and
influential parents he gave prom.
Use of little in youth and the efforts
Of his father to make a lawyer Of
him when his real talent seemed
to lean to art, met with poor sue
cess, for although he studied law
and began it's practice he had little
aptitude for that profession and
left it early in life.
As a soldier Of two wars be
won fame and in civil life played
a more or less conspicuous part,
notably as minister to turkey.
However, it was in literature that
General Wallace achieved his
most marked distinction. "Ben
Hur; A Tale of the Christ" was
written a quarter Of a century ago,
but its popularity bas not yet
waned. During the first ten years
after its original publication more
than three hundred thousand
copies we're sold. 1t has been
translated into several foreign
languages and OF recent years has
been dralnatized and by the aid Of
remarkable mechanical appliances
the thrilling chariot race in which
the hero takes part and which he
wins has been presented on the
stage before thousands OF wonder
lug 0tOSs
Although General Wallace &C
chieved much during his eventiul
life his final fame will rest upon
his authorship Of this work, the
popularity of which has scarcely
been surpassed. His death re-
moves a man of varied attachments
who led an active and versatile
life, the complete story of which
reads like a romance. He was an
other Of those singular products
for which this country has become
noted.

Johann HOch, the Chicago biga-
mist, who had so many wives that
he had to use a cash register to
keep an account Of the money he
got from them, in the quietude of
his cell has given the world the
following "RefectiOns of a Much
Married man:"
A man should never marry I'M
less there is money consideration
to compensate him for his disap-
pOintments.
Marriage is a lottery. it is true,
but it Is worse than that-it's hell.
Before marriage a man swears
he will love, but after marriage he
loves to swear.
Before Marriage every man has
a theory about how to manage a
wife, but after marriage it's a con-
dition and not a theory that con
fronts him.
It's no disgrace for a man to
make a mistake in marrying.
Nearly every man who marries
does that. 8
A widow does not deplOre the
death Of her first husband nearly
so much as her second husband
often does.
What's the use in investing in
