Man 1ol Years Old to Wed Girl He
Wooed IS Years Ago

A romance which began eishty-hve
years ago soon will lead two sweet
hearts to the altar. John B. Brunden,
who admits 101 years. has left mis-
home in Tate Springs, Tenn, for
London, where he will meet mis- bride
to be, Miss Rose MCGUIRE, who has
just turned her century mark. To-
gesher they will journey back to the
little town in Tennessee, where they
will be married before an asscmb,age
of 135 boys and girls" the young
est of whom is 90 years old
In 1922 Brunden and Miss Mcclure
who lived on adjoining farms in Ten
nessee, became sweefhearts. They
were parted when the girls parents
decided to abandon their new home
in America and return to the one they
left in England.
In those days mails were uncertain
and irregular. and after few letters
which were exchanged between the
boy and girl. they lost track of each
other.
Brunden went 70 California long
before the gold rush in 40. He thriv-
ed, and spent fortune hunting for
Miss Mcclure. Until recently his
search was fruitless.
Finally he learned her address in
England and found that she had new
er married. Letters were exchanged
and he learned that Miss Mcclure
still loved him, though almost cen
fury had elapsed since they partec.
Then Brundea bought the two old
Tennessee farms and made them into
one, erecting fine house for the
coming of his bride back to the
scenes of their wooing.

Bryce Safe From Big Stick; Okla
homa Views not Issue.

The Rt. Hon. James Bryce, King
Edwards ambassador to the United
States need have no fear that the big
stick is to be brought to play in his
vicinity There is not the slightest
intention on the part of the admins
tration to make an issue of anything
Mr.. Bryce may have said about the
constitution framed for the new state
of Oklahoma
Mr. Bryce is an agreeable gentle
man who, according to the view in Of
fetal circles here, was glad to be OBJ
liging when reporters asked him what
he thought of various matters of pub
lie interest. The opposition to the
Oklahoma constitution is strong in
the southwest where Mr. Bryce was
visiting, and of course Mr. Bryce's
views were sought by the interview
ers.
The point of the whole story about
Mr.. Bryce's alleged faux pas is that
he is reported to have praised the
document which the Roosevelt ad
ministration regards as the personifi-
cation of all the evils of partisanship.
According to the way Mr.. Bryce was
quoted out west, he praised the initi-
ative and referendum feature of the
Oklahoma constitution, and when he
was asked if he thought there was too
much legislation in the document an
swered that there couldn't bee too
much legislation in the constitution

Would Wake Up Roosevelt.

An effort on the part of young
man of powerful physique to inter
view President Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay at o'clock Tuesd9 morning
was frustrated by the secret service
guard maintained day and night at
Sycamore Hill.
The caller, whose name has been
withheld, but who is member of a
we'll known New Jersey family, had
evidently lost his mental equilibrium
through enthusiasm regarding the
merits off submarine boat he claims
to have perfected and which he
thought President Roosevelt ought to
know about without the slightest de-
lay in view OF the proposed plan to
send the battleship fleet to the Pa
cifc.
He came to Oyster Bay in tour
ing car hired in New Jersey, for the
trip and in charge of two machinIsts.
The automobile had not climbed half
way up Sycamore hill when it was
halted by, one of the secret service
men. who induced the inventor TO
turn about and wait in the village
until morning.

Horrible punishment has just been
inflicted by revolutionists of Riga,
Russia, upon former member of the
band OF conspirators against the gov
eminent, whose treachery led to the
discovery of secret conference and
caused the death of many of the rev.
olutionists and arrest OF Others of
the band
The central revolutionary commit
tees of Courland, Livland and Est
land used an cid mill just outside of
Riga for their meeting place. A man
named Sproge, who had broken with
the revolutionists, betrayed them to
the police. Officers went to- the old
mill, surrounded the place and called
on the revolutionists to surrender. In
trying to escape 80 of the conspira-
tors were shot and killed. Many
others were captured.
Sproge's treachery was discovered
and other revolutionists decided to
kill him by frightful fortunes. He
was captured and taken to- the same
mill where the revolutionists had met.
There he was tied to the floor, and
loose sack with small hole fas-
tened about his head. A stream of
flour was allowed to run through the
hole Ultimately the sack was conn
pletely filled and Sproge was slowly
smothered
The revolutionaries left tho body
there with note of warning to other
traitors.

Warning to Japs IN Naval Scheme.

The Hochi, leading newspaper OF
Japan, this. Monday morning. prints
an interview with Admiral Sakamoo.
in which the Admiral is quoted as
follows:
Should hostilities break out be-
tween Japan and the United States
the result would be indecisive. owing
to want of proper bases of opera
tons. Such bases as exist are too
distant for practical purposes. Even
the nearest bases-namely: The Pes
cadores, Cavite. and Manila, are at
distance of 600 miles from one an
other.
Even If the Washington govern
ment should decide on war, il is
doubtful if the Americans serving in
the navy are sufficiently patriotic to
fight.
American naval officers are bril-
liant figures at balls and social gath
erings, but they are deficient in pro-
fessional training and practice
ct is too much to expect a burning
patriotism in the American naval SER
vice in case of war with Japan. II IS
likely that most of the crews would
desert and leave the ships"
