from forming a matrimonial ALI

the pale of the Society of Friends.
The family of the young woman was
equally opposed to the marriage
on account of young Whittier's ex-
treme poverty, and refused to allow
the young man TO call upon his
sweetheart in her home. 1t is
known, however. that they held
many surreptitious meetings, but
these at last ceased, and. with the

agreed to 90 their separate ways

Time has shown that the ysung sdi-

an exceedingly modest one. AT that
time the young woman to whom he
appealed did lot share his heart the
hope of love and afrsstion that had
found Judgement there. From that
time forward he associated little with
women, and gave himself unrsservsd-
ly to his literary work and the furth-
erance of the cause of abolition. to
which his life was pledged. 1t was
probable that Whittier's views on
marriage AS presented in Maud Null

many years, and is well known to
many of the oll-time residents OF

1t is said that she has raised quite

that she had not been to n town us

the Plateau valley, which she paid
for after toiling early and late for
years.
The fact that the woman appro-

other circumstances connected with
the case of rather n pathetic nature
have caused some sympathy to be
expressed for the woman. This has
not been the first case of shoplifting

Boston, December 17.--Many de-
voted admirers OF John Grssnleaf
Whittier, the Quaker poet, today
made pilgrimages to East Havsrhill,
where the famous bard was born 100
years ago today. The centennial
was marked by gatherings OF several
New England literary and patriotic
societies, a numeber of distinguished ed
men paying homage to the memory
of the gentle Quaker singer.
The centennial of Whittier's birth
has brought to light many interest
ing "reminiscences of the poets ca
reer which are not generally known.
1t was in the house where Whit
bier was born. and which Is the scene
an experience which ever afterwards
made him famous for his simple hon.
ssty and love OF truth. He had told
lie to his mother. Immediately
afterwards a terrible electrical storm
broke, and the frightened youth
looking upon 1t as display of Di-
vine wrath. fled to little clothes
press, where he wrapped himself
in quilts to shield from sight the
fierce lightning flashes. 1t was
there that his mother found him, af-
Yer the storm had passed, nearly suf-
located and half dead from fright.
To her he confessed his sin and
promised forever afterward to re-
nouce falsehood-a promise which
1t is believed, he kept. 1t Is also
told that Whittier. as a youth, often
paid surreptitious visits to the Or
chards of his neighbors, coveting the
delicious cherries that hung on the
trees, and otherwise comported him.

1t is estimated that there are $50
100000 acres of land in the United
States which is now useless for agri-
culture on account of either being too
dry or too wet, but which it is possible
to reclaim by irrigation and drainage.
The average cost of irrigation reclaim
alton thus far undertaken by the gov
ornment is about $50 per acre, while
the cost of drainage reclamation of
swamp lands, according to official es-
Inmates, should not exceed Sc per acre.
The swar1p areas are in the most
thickly settled parts of the COUNTRY,
and the engineering problems connect
ed with drainage are much simpler
than those connected with irrigation,
hence the cost is less.

COUPLE YANKED

OGDEN, October 22.-About IL
O'Clock last night Sheriff Sebring ar
rested Elton Luckie, upon advice re-
ceived by telegraph from Sheriff
Touillot of Dixon, Ill Luckie was
asleep in a Pullman berth OF the Los
Angeles limited when aroused by the
sheriff. Occupying the same berth
was a woman, not his wife, Mrs.
May Griffiths, hailing from the same
town as Luckie.
The couple confessed to having
eloped, the woman claiming that her
husband had been cruel to her and
that she abandoned him and her
daughter Mrs. Griffiths is a very
beautiful woman, about 25 years of
age.
Luckie is well to do Illinois farm
er, and says his farm is worth $685.
900. He wears diamonds and carried
valuable gold watch, and had on
his person several hundred dollars in
currency. He said he would return
to Illinois without requisition, and
expressed wish to be taken back at
once, but will have to await the COM
ing of an Illinois officer.

levy of 100000 for taxes which has
been made against it. Should it re-
sort to the extreme measure threat
ened 1t will not be the first time it
has resorted to that expedient. In
1881 the Legislature of Texas passed
law levying tax of 50 a train mile
on the mileage upon which sleeping
cars were operated. The Pullman
company at once withdrew its cars
from interstate traffic in Texas and
did not resume it until the act was
declared unconstitutional by thA SUI
preme court of Texas, more than a
year later.
The legislature, however, has not
overcome its disposition to treat the
company harshly and doubtless the
threatened withdrawal on this occa-
sion will be carried into execution
unless what is regarded as the latest
confiscatory act of the state authori-
ties is rescinded.
