CHICAGO MAN TRANSFERS WIFE TO SON.

Two Eastern Millionaires.

The elder Twitchell sued, and Judge
McEwen decided in his favor. He
frankly admitted that he wanted his
wife to be happy. and for that reason
he was going to give her to his son.

Freedom Her One Thought.
So eager was the pretty girl from
Michigan to marry her husbands son
that she made no contest, though she
had lawyer to represent her. All she
wanted was her freedom-and her Ed

to her love-the frank, honest blush
of pretty girl who has at last found
out her real romance.

she said with just a little wistful
smile, "and came to Chicago to live.
There | met Edward, my husbands
son. After the first week l was not

New York.-Three men whose re-

names household words are Thomas
w. Kiley OF Brooklyn. Capt. Nathan
Appleton or Boston, and Watson II
Twitchell OF Chicago.
Elderly, rich, and known as keen
practical business men, they have gone

their hearts than ever STRIPPING did
They have done for love what few
youngsters would do Between them
they make up veritable trio of ro-

They arc 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 remarkable-these
three men whom everybody believed
beyond the age when Cupid calls his

Is Twitchell. 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 a pretty little coun-
try girl who lived in quiet little
Michigan town, when Watson H.
Twitchel, widower, with son "a years
old, came there on business visit.
He met charming Miss Bertha and fell
head over heels in love with her-this
gray-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
up son and the unsophisticated little
girl from Michigan were married. The
proud bridegroom brought his dainty
bride back home to Chicago, and there

ground was fit for transplanting.
After good bed with suitable soil
had been made, the cans were simply
unrolled from the soil they contained
and each little plant with its roots un-
disturbed, was placed in the garden
bed. Then my petted pansies began
their outdoor life. The care Of these
plants was delight Care must be
taken, with them when the hot mid
summer days come, as their stems will
decay near the roots-"damping on"
To avert so sad fate each plant
should have for Its support three

were held in an erect position and
cured the "damping of" process.
The pansies will grow to the top OF
the stakes and with plentiful water
