Marriage Failed.

Love laughs at locksmiths, but
Cupid don't poke any fun at the law,
as Bailey Mcintosh and Miss Mary
Ryan, of Wickliffe, KY, found out
Friday evening when they applied
for marriage license.
The girl innocently stated that
she was IA years of age, whereupon
the County Clerk refused to issue
the license. The young man want
ed to journey on to Trenton, but
the girl had given up the idea of
entering the married state and ex-
pressed her desire in tears to return
home. Chief of Police Frank Par
due advised the young man to de-
fray the expenses of the girl for the
night and for breakfast and dinner
Saturday and money for return
ticket, and this Mcintosh willingly
agreed to, so the little lady was
given in the charge of Mrs. Heath
cock, landlady of the Brackin Hotel,
and was nicely cared for until Sat-
urday, when she was put aboard
the Mobile & Ohio train for her
home.
Mcintosh acted the perfect gen.
tleman all through, and no blame is
attached to him, and ne intended to
return home at once, but was adj
vised that he might get into trouble
should he return without the girl,
so be remained until she could go.
He did not seem much troubled
about the girl backing out, and re-
marked that he didn't believe 1t was
a match anyway. The girl is large
for her age, and had she stated that
she was 10 it would have been be-
lieved.

Hickman, KY, June Is. The baby
that was found in the drift of weeds
in the Mississippi River few miles
above here near Columbus, KY, has
not been identified yet. Jake Evans
and his assistants found it while
making their haul from their FISH

fellow, apparently less than S i x
months old, was crying loudly when
found. He was securely fastened
in the bottom of skiff on lux

piece of stationery, indicating
that the paper was originally pur-
chased from Cairo, ILL.,, firm, were
these words; HE is another Moses.
Please be kind to him" This is a
clew that may lead to his identity.
The words were written in femi-
nine hand. A nursing bottle had
evidently been placed in the child's
mouth, for the half exhausted con-
tents were silent evidence of the
last motherly act of the one who
sent the modern Moses on his peril

OUTLINED FIFTEEN HUSBANDS
Death Finally Claimed Mrs. Caroline
 Rogers at Age of s133.
From the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
 One hundred and thirty-three years was the age of Caroline Rogers, who died at Los Angeles, if the positive statements of her numerous relatives be true. There is no positive documentary evidence that the womans age was as represented, but that she was far beyond the century mark seems to admit of no doubt.
 Perhaps the best proof that she was the oldest woman in the world Is the age of some of her relatives. At her funeral the chief mourner was a grandson of the de- ceased, himself a wrnkled, white-haired man, nearly 70 years of age There was also a granddaughter aged 65, and these mourners were comforted by their own child, one of whom is herself a grand mother. The deceased left a daughter, aged 90, who resides in San Diego, and other daughters who reside in various parts of the south
 Mrs. Rogers, according to the state ments of her relatives, was born in Mo- bile, or near there on March IT, 1772. It is also stated that she was married fif- teen times. Her last husband died many years ago.
 During the last fifteen years the old wo- man had lived quietly with her relatives in Los Angeles, devoting her time to mnistering to the sick as long as she was able to go from house to house.

Why Bombs Explode.
rom the Lancet.

From the Lancet
 When left alone to it's natural functions nitrogen pursues a perfectly peaceful couse, but when man succeeds in captur- ing it and combining it with other ele- ments 1t becomes dire potentiality for evil, as Is obvious in the recent events of the war in the far east and in the crime in the streets of Moscow
 The love of freedom, so to speak char acteristic of nitrogen is terribly exempli- fled in the explosion of the bomb in which 1t is imprisoned and found to other ele- ments On the slightest provocation-a spark, a shock, fuse-the nitrogen sud denly expands from seemingly nothing, as regards the space which it occupies, into infinity. This is, in reality, what happens when dynamite. lyddte or other unstable nitro compounds explode when hurled in shells in warfare and in bombs in des- perate attacks on human life.
 Nitrogen, against it's natural disposition, is locked up in an uncongenial space in these compounds, from which it is set free by very simple means in an enor- mously expanded gaseous state with dead ly effect. returning, in fact, to its normal peaceful mission once more.
