Margaret Irwin was employed as a stenographer. She was of a good family and was engaged to a wealthy young man of Chicago. But after the separation of Mir. and Mrs. Tom linson the latter spread the story among her women friends that her husband was making love to his sten- ographer. Later she had something published in. the. paper and Miss IT. win at once left the employ of Tom linson and remained at the home of her parents.
 But the stories reached the ears of her flance. and his family insisted that the engagement be broken. Miss Irwin was heartbroken and for a time was so III that her life was almost despaired of. When she became con valescont she came West, not with let ters of introduction from Mir Tomlin- son, but in the comDanv of friends.
 It was sometime after the return of Miss Irwin to Chicago that Mrs. Tom linson began proceedings for a di- vorce. but Miss IEwin was not named as the co-respondtnt. as has been stated, and during her western trip, MT. Tomlinson did not meet the young

 When the divorce was granted, Mrs. Tomlinson was awarded $3500 cash in lieu of all alimony, and both were again free to begin life over again. It was during the troubles caused by the stories told in Chicago regarding Miss Irwin that Mir. Tom linson felt that at least in some indi- rect degree he was responsible for the sorrow which had come into her life, and in the wish to repair this injury he visited her at the home of her pa- rents.
 Then it was he began to realize that, born of his sorrow, love had sprung into existence. He confessed to her and to her parents his wish to make her his wife as soon as he could get divorce. But Mrs. Tomlinson be- gan proceedings first and her husband states that he believed it was best that they should legally separate and did not defend the suit, which went by default.
 At the time of their marriage, Mrs Tomlinson told her husband that she was alone in the world. without fam fly and friendless. Developments later showed that she has two brothers living, as well as other relatives.
 Immediately after the divorce, MT Tomlinson and Miss Irwin were mar ried with the consent of her parents and they are now on their delayed honeymoon trip to Los Angeles.

LOVE FINDS WAY IN LAND IF
 MAhAhA
Bride Too Young Under Arizo- na Laws, and John Lee and Daisy Ragland Are Married in Sonora.
Especial to Reriew.l

PHOENIX, April 22.-Love has again found a way, and John F. Lee and Daisy Ragland, unable to secure a marriage license in Maricopa county. have returned to Phoenix from Sono- ra, where they were married last Thursday under the laws of Mexico.
 Lee appeared before Probate Judge Phillips two weeks ago and asked for marriage license for himself and Miss Ragland, giving her age as IA years and his own at 36. Much as he hated to do it, Probate Judge Phillips had to tell Lee that his prospective bride was too young to marry under the laws of Arizona. Miss Ragland's parents were will ing that the union should take place. and Judge Phillips was told that they were ready to give their consent to the marriage of Leg and their daugh- ter, but Judge PhiItips pulled the law on them. Es
 Both deeply iu love with each other, Lee and Miss Ragfand were distracted for several days. until Sam F. Webb. the efficient assistant chief clerk of the lower house Of the 24th legislature, came 10 the rescue of Cupid.
 Why all these tears. Miss Rag land, and why this downcast look, MT Lee?" asked the tender-hearted Webb.
 They won't let us get married, and unless we can, life will be dreary ex- istence," responded Miss Ragland and Lee in fearful chorus.
 The Arizona law may not let you get married, but I will tell you where matrimony flourishes if you really want to get married bad enough to leave the United States" responded Webb,
 We do, Mr. Webb; please tell us what we can do," said the lovesick pair.
 Well. go down to Nogales, cross the line and you can get married" said the wise Webb.
 Webb advised them to first call on Mexican Consul Pima in Phoenix, with the girls parents and have them make "a statement before him that they were willing that the marriage should take place.
 This was done, and armed with Mexican Consul Pina's statement that the parents consented, Miss Ragland and Lee were about to leave hurriedly for Nogales, when Webb thought of something.
 "rr give you a letter to Bo White side" said he. "Bo will take you across the line into Sonora, and. see that you are properly welded and your hearts desire fulfilled"
 Reinforced by the letter to White side. the pair left here last week, and with Whiteside's assistance went across the line and within a few min utes were man and wife.
 Though not learned from an official source. 1t is said that Whiteside, in view of the good work he had done, demanded that he be permitted to kiss the blushing bride. MT. and Mrs. Lee are now back in Phoenix, happy and contented and with long life of welded bliss before them.
 Webb denied today that the marked success she has attained in his first ef- fort to assist loving couples has turn ed his head to such an extent that he is going to start matrimonial agency.

Fascinated Him.

Mrs. Sadie Tominson is a most charming and fascinating woman and she has aslaugh that is a wonder, for in spite of her alleged forty-seven years it makes one think of Sweet Sixteen" As the wife of George E. Tomhnson she was a good wife, but in an unfortunate moment it is claim ed that her romantic past rose up and changed love to hatred, devotion to bathing and attention to dislike.
 MT. Tomlinson is 3S years old and looks younger and when he first met the woman who became his wife in 1894 he should have known enough to know better. But love is blind and although he had known her as the wife of MT. Hudson, she told him such tale of sorrow when he saw her again in 1894 that his heart went out to her in sympathy. From sympathy 1t was an easy jump to love.
 She told him that she had gone East and secured divorce from Illus son and man always believes a wo- man he loves, otherwise he really couldn't love her. So they were mar ried and the couple were as happy as the proverbial turtle doves.
 Nearly five years later they came to Los Angeles and it was while Mr. Tomlinson was serving as 8 ticket agent in Pasadena that the first break took place. This was when a certaiS well-known railroad man seemed to recognize Mrs. Tomlinson when she was with her husband. Explanations were demanded and refused. Words passed which ranked and the South eTn California home was broken up. Mir. Tomiinson went to Bisbee, Ariz., with his wife and there started to be- gin life over again.
 Fortune smiled and after three years he departed for Chicago for a wider field of effort and with a. com fortable fortune.
 Romantic Nemesis.
 For a time in the Windy City the couple lived together, but again some thing happened which led MT. Tomlin- son to systematically investigate the story of his wife's romances. The result was that he told her that they must separate. She wept, but he was firm, and the separation became an accomplished fact.
 In the settlement Mir. Tomlinson gave his wife the furniture Of their home, 5000 in cash and an allowance of $100 a month on condition that she would leave him alone.
 Wherever you go will do my best to ruin you" Mrs. Tomlinson Is said to have exclaimed when she found all efforts to retain her husband by her side in vain.

TOMLINSON TELLS HIS STORY OF
 DIVORCE
Former Assayer and Mining Broker of Bisbee Was Visi- tor in Los Angeles With His New Wife.

The affairs of MT. Geo. E. Tomlin, son and Sadie Tomlinson, formerly residents of this city, but later re moved to Chicago, where Mrs. Tom linson secured a divorce from her bus band on the grounds of desertion and adultery. have again got into print.
 Mir. and Mrs Tomhnson, nee Miss Irwin, were recently at the Hotel Van Nuys in Los Angeles and MT. Tom iinson took advantage of the oppor' tunity to tell to tho Times reporter his side of the divorce case, which to say the least, is at wide variance with his former wife's account Sey, eral letters were received in Bisbee from Mrs. Sadie Tomhnson, after she left Bisbee to reside with her hus- band in Chicago, telling of her un. happiness dating from the time of the employment of the pretty stenog. rapher in the office of the Tomlinson brokerage company. Mrs. Sallie Tom linson is very positive that MT. Tom. linson came to her one day in Chicago and told her bluntly that he did not love her any longer. Friends of the couple residing in Bisbee states that on visit to Bisbee by MT. Tomlinson prior to the divorce proceedings, that he exhibited the stelographer's photo, graph to friends with the statement that that was the only woman he ever loved and intended to marry her as soon as the divorce proceedings were ended.
 Although the couple appeared to be happy in Bisbee, Tomlinson in a let. ter to a party in this city, states that his troubles first began in Pasadena and were renewed in Bisbee.
 It will be news to Bisbeeites that Mrs. Tomlinson was a divorced wo- man before her marriage to Tomlin. son.
 The Los Angeles Times in is issue of March 31 says:
 Fairy-story romance has certainly been the portion of Mrs. Sadies Tom. linson, whose heart-beats of woe ana picture recently appeared in the Sun. day Times. The story Of her trou. bules was then told in which she ap. peared as a downtrodden, suffering woman, deserted by a brutal husband to the mercies of cold and cruel world
 So far as the facts of the story given out they are true in part. Mrs. Tomlinson did get a divorce from George E. Tomlinson and soon after, ward he did marry Miss Margaret Irwin, but in Indiana, not in Nevada.
 Mir. and Mrs. Tomlinson are now guests at the Van Nuys Hotel in this city and the latest phase of the Tom. linson romance is greater that the first. But the recent developments indicate that Cupid is an unreliable rogue and often mixes things in a way not always satisfactory to all concerned.
 In fact, Mrs. Sadie Tomlinson has had a number of romances, in Boston Chicago and omaha. Also she has fhad more than one divorce. But in Chicago such trifles are not taken seriously and it was there she first met MT. Tomlinson.
 That was when she was a Mrs. Hud- son. But she had secured a divorce from Mir. Hudson on the ground that he already had a wife living. This was in April, 1889, before Judge Tuley. But later she returned to the Hudson home.

An Active Life.

There is no excuse in this world
of active endeavor for self-impos-
ed idleness of the youths and
maidens ofethe land. There are
constant demands for active
workers and golden opportunities
offered for Jealous endeavor and
merited success. At the same
time it is not believed that the
young should be forced into oc-
cupations that are distasteful, be-
cause their fathers follow such
occupations. Many a brilliant
career has been ruined by denying
a young man the calling which his
genius, skill and taste fit him for.

The Welcome Rain.

After long. weeks of dry and
sultry weather, the drouth has at
last been broken. Last Monday
a storm of rain and hail accom-
panied with a vivid electrical dis
play, swept over this section from
the north. There was a lively
precipitation for over half an
hour, succeeded by cloudiness and
cool wave. This change was
hailed with gladness and gratitude
and has been undoubtedly of great
benefit.

Cotton Report.

The Washington report on the
condition of the cotton crop,
September 9, 1907, furnishes the
following figures:
The census bureau issued the
first bulletin on the cotton report
for the season, showing total of
191, ,4l6 bales up to Septembefl,
as compared with 407, ,551 for the
same period last year. In the
statement round bates are counted
as half bales. The great falling
off is attributed to the lateness of
the crop. The department of
agriculture reports the cotton
average as 1871, compared with
$500 on July 25, 1907, and 77.3
August %, 1906.

1 have decided to become a can
didate for the position of State
Senator for this district at the
coming primary election. In ask
ing for the votes of the citizens OF
this district for this important
position, | do so realizing that
during the next four years there :
. great work to be done by the
General Assembly of Louisiana.
If l thought that | could not fill
the place with honor to myself
and credit to the District and
State, ] certainly would not ask
for your support.
This is a position in which a
man is very often called upon to
show his colors. He is called upon
suddenly to say by his vote wheth-
er or not a certain measure shall
. become a law. He does not have
time to consult his constituents.
Unless he is honest with himself
ani with bis people, he is sure to
make q failure. He should be of
such character that his constitu-
ents will know where to find him
on all questions.
l desire to say at this outset, if
the people see fit to elect me. that
on all moral questions / will be
found on the moral side. In
questions of right and wrong. you
will find my name recorded on the
side of right. l take it that this
declaration on my part will an

people who do not know me per-
sonally may wish to ask. If my
past life does not bear out the
assertion, l do not expect your
support.
/ also think that person ask
ing for an Office of this kind owes
il to the people whom he proposes
to represent to tell them in adj
vance how be stands on the more
important questions which are
likely to arise during his term of
Office. With this idea in view !
herewith give my views on the
following important questions:
TAXATION.
Without taxation no govern
ment can exist. 1t is the premium
that the people pay to the State
and Nation for guarantee of life,
liberty and the, pursuit of happi
ness. No fair minded citizen OBJ
jects to paying taxes. He feels
that il is money we'll invested.
The servants of the State who
make, execute and interpret the
laws have to be paid for their SER
vices, the children of the State
haze to be educated, unfortunates
have to be cared for, the levy
system has to be kept up. interest
on the public debt has to be paid
as we'll as the debt itself. This
requires . large sum of money
Usually. Louisiana, with her
bod0 kless<f resources and her pros

themselves, to build platform
on which to rest their candidacy.
So, in making my announcement
for reelection to the Office of
Clerk of Court of Winn Parish
for the Fifth Judicial Diftrict of
Louisian, |, too, must have a
platform.
My experience has taught me
that there is but one platform
for the Clerk to adopt. That is
to know his duty as public
officer and to do it.
esteem highly the tribute paid
me by my opponent in his an
nOuncement made last week,
when he says i have made a good
clerk, and l enter heartily with
him into the spirit of fairness
aud cleanness in the campaign.
| would not know how to proceed
in campaign in any other way,
having had in my former races
for the clerkshlp, an opponent
who was and is the very soul of
fairness and cleanness in politics;
one who, in his day, was one of
the most honored and popular
men Winn Parish has ever known
Uncle Bob Jones.
The only objection raised to
my reelection is that | have held
the Office for two terms. The
clerks Office is not political
Office and the rule applied to
other Offices does not apply to
the clerks office Winn Parish
has said, from 1868 to 1892 and
from 1896 to 1900, that Uncle
Bob knows his place aud we will
keep him there. Lincoln Parish
kept Uncle Tobe Williams in
Office until he retired from public
life; Natchitoches Parish kept
Mr.. Hyams in Office until he died
this year; Mr.. Leonard is now
finishing up his fourth term in
Caddo Parish, and many other
parishes in the State have kept
their clerk for several terms.
Why? Because efficiency in the
clerks Office is not acquired in a
year orin a term. 1t is a position
in which the officer must acquaint
himself with many points in law
and know how to issue various
kinds of writs, etc. All papers
on which lawsuits are founded
must issue from the clerks Office.
1t issued correctly, the case
proceeds; if incorrectly, the case
is delayed at somebody's expense.
[ have never taken a business
course in Texas, but | am just
finishing an eight years course,
and have had all the points
demonstrated that 60 to make an
efficient clerk.
now submit my candidacy to
the good people of Winn Parish
strictly as a business proposition
to them. In selecting our officers
for any position we should con-
slider the public interest as we do
our individual welfare.
If you. as farmer, or
merchant, or mill man, or as one
engaged in any other vocation in
life, could not afford to dismiss
an employee who is competent
and trustworthy fore one who is
inexperienced, 1t matters not how
honest or industrious he may be,
why should not the same rule
apply in the employment or
selection of those to guard and
conduct your public affairs.
I shall ever be grateful to the
good people of our grand old
Parish of VIM, the soil on
which l was born and reared, for
their great favors to me in the
past and shall ever be ready to
serve them in any way possible
in the future.
| respectfully solicit your sup
port in the coming primary.
