WANTS A 200-POUND WIFE.
Must Be Opposed to Race Suicide,
Says "Ad" of Ex-Aristocrat.

FORT EDWARD, N. Y, Dec. g.
George Marshall, of Granville, a wild
over advertised for a wife who could
tip the beam at 200 pounds, was op-
posed to race suicide, was charitably
inclined, had a soft voice and quiet
demeanor and could bake good bread.
No society butterfly, clubwoman or
physical culturist need apply, he add
ed. A colored woman dragging three
children was the first applicant. One
buxom widow was up to requirements
in every respect but weight. She
travelled several miles afoOt, only to be
rejected. Marshall has received sever
al more applications, but none is sat-
isfactory.
Marshall is related to members Of
the German nobility. Becoming Of
Tended at his parents, he left his ar
istocratic home and vowed never to
return or give any information as to
his whereabouts. He has kept his
determination since he came to this
country, forty-two years ago.
Marshalrs wife died several years
ago. Every night after her death he
visited her grave, rain or shine, and
One night he disinterred her body.

went out deer hunting on the morn

way in the woods and started down
the south side Of the range on which
they were hunting instead of going
down the north side toward the rail-
road. Night overlook them and they
were without food.
The next day Glenn thought per-
maps they were on the wrong side Of
the range and he started for the sum-
nit with the hope of finding the ram.

A Mercenary
Affair
Bv EDITH M. DOANE
Copyright, 1906, by P. c. Eastment

When Mrs. Palmer announced the en-
gagement of her daughter Helen to
James Corey, every one wondered why
on earth Helen had not chosen youn-
ger man.
In almost in the same breath 1t
leaked out that Mr.. Palmer, who was
always trading on tips and going broke
in the market, had plunged once too
often-had indeed been face to face
with bankruptcy until James Corey
came to his rescue.
Then the world, as represented by So
ciety in GlenwOod Park-prOffered con-
CALCULATIONS and smiled discreetly. or
course if the Palmers accepted James
Corey's money, they must accept its
giver too.
The Park was apt to assemble in
formally at the Country club for 3
o'clock tea. There was something pleas
antly cozy in gathering around the low
china laden table on the wide club

Memorial Address.
The memorial address by Judge
William o. Chapman of Tacoma, was
a gem of obituary oratory. Prose and
pOesy, ancients and aborigines were
made by him to testify to the blessed
hope of the Immortality Of the hu-
man soul. In beautiful and touching
language he least line into the dark

His exposition of the high teachings
of Elkdom was very impressive, tne
"wnite snow of truth, sharp Wlnd VI

of the great order He spoke OF 'l'
duties of Elks as citizens and as Dro'n'

they were both too intent to hear other

outside.
