New York.-Three men whose re-
cent romantic stories have made their
names household words are Thomas
W. kiley of Brooklyn, Capt. Nathan
Appleton OF boston, and Watson II.
Twitchell Of Chicago.
Elderly, rich, and known as keen,
practical business men, they have gone
to greater lengths for the women OF
their hearts than ever a STRIPPING did.
They have done for love what few
youngsters would do. Between them
they make up veritable trio of ro-
nance.
They are men of affairs, each in his
own city. Not for moment would
anyone believe them anything but
hard-headed business men. Yet what
they have dared is Observation-Disclosures
three men whom everybody believed
beyond the age when Cupid calls his
loudest.
Thomas w. Ikiley married the
daughter Of his benefactor because she
wife dying. Appleton met his affinity
and is now preparing to divorce his
first wife. But most remarkable of all
is Twitchen. He gave up his BRIDE
his second wife-to his son, because
he loved them both, and wanted to
see them happy.
And first, then, this remarkable rO-
nance of the Twitchells.
Bertha May was pretty little coun-
try girl who lived in quiet little
Michigan town, when Watson H.
Twitchel, widower with a son "a years
old, came there on business visit.
He met charming Miss Bertha and fell
head over heels in love with her-this
sray-haired business man of Sc.
She Wanted to See the World.
He told the ambitious little girl from
Michigan of the pleasures of life in
Chicago. When he asked her to mar
ry him she thought that her desire to
see the world-that is, what of 1t that
can be seen in Chicago-was really
love. So the old man with the grown
TIP son and the unsophisticated. little
girl from Michigan were married. The
proud bridegroom brought his dainty
bride back home to Chicago, and there

Equal to the Occasion.

Speaking of the peculiar incidents
that occasionally occur on the stage,
well-known actor said that one of the
most laughable happened some time
since in the theater of thriving town
up the state. The scene at that par
ticular moment was the deck of ship,
around which rolled and heaved a vast
theatrical sea. The hero was solilo-
quizing on the pitching deck and the
audience was intently listening to his
spell binding words, when a ruddy
head protruded through a hole in the
ocean in full view of all. The hero,
however, was equal. to the occasion.
CHANGING at the apparently floating
head, he Justify yelled:
Man overheard! Man overboard!"
Hardly had he spoken before the
head of the sea manipulation was with
drawn, and, with sad sigh that could
be heard all over the house, the actor
piteously cried:
..*'Too late, too late! Another poor
fellow has gone to his last account

Discomforts Of Party Of Prospec-

Alaska,

In journeying down one OF the
tributaries of the Tanana river, in
Alaska, with party of prospectors in
1902, our raft went to pieces on a drift

utensils, bedding and pretty nearly all
the clothing of the outfit, as well as a

ton, and If it had not been for that

near starving to death, as the place of

Luella Daggy Roberts, second daugh-
ter of L. Il. and Laura Daggy, depart
ed this life June o, 1905, aged Is years,
II months and is days.
Louie was a patient sufferer during
her long Illness which lasted several
months; she never murmured,or com.
planned and always greeted her many
friends with a smile. In her associa-
tion with schoolmates and friends her
kindly consideration of others, her
ready sympathy, won for her warm
place in all hearts. Vain we're the
pleadings, the hopes, the tears of
those who watched her drifting slow
ly into the shadows All that science
could do, all that loving care and at
tention could give, we're as naught.
Louie knew her time on earth was
short and said all was we'll and that
she was ready to go. Truly 1t may be
said, "none knew her but to love her"
nd after days of patient suffering
the sweet dark eyes have closed IN
ali earthly weariness, the tired hear
is still and beyond the sunset she h
seen the dawning.
Louie joined the Christian churs,
at Union and has lived a true chri 30
life. She was united in maria q
Kelly Roberts, of Mowrystown. Sn.
leaves a father, mother, sister and
brother and host of friends to mourn
her loss. But God knows best. We
can not understand all His rulings,
but He doeth all things we'll.
After funeral services, conducted
by Rev. Boice, the remains we're laid
to rest in the Barker cemetery.
Calmly she faded as fades the summer
Sweetly she whispered, "soon I'll be there,
Fair was the morning. early departed,
Brigh ter thy MONDAY heaven dawns for thee
Sadly around her warm tears were falling,
Gently to soothe her, kind friends were near
Sweetiy she murmured cease, cease your
weeping,
Heavens gates are open. angels are here.
