Enlisted in Marine Corps.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-After a
long search through all the hospitals
of the city, ". A. Wright, a young
artist of Dallas, Tex, who had been
missing for several weeks, was found
In the hospital at the Naval Home,
last night. Wright came to this city
to look for work. He is % years old,
and when he left home some months
ago he was full of enthusiasm over the
future that awaited him here, where
he hoped to obtain employment as IL
illustrator on a magazine.
Suddenly Wright's letters to his home
ceased to arrive. His father became
worried, asked the police here to seek
his son, and, failing to find him. came
to ais city himself. He visited every
public hospital, showing a picture of
his boy. Finally. as a last hope, he
appealed to the newspapers. The story
was printed and the result was the
identification in the Naval Hospital.
There was a glad reunion between
father and son, and then the boy told
how 1t all happened. He had tried in
vain to obtain work. and at last, made
desperate by hunger, he enlisted IN
the Marine Corps. He was sent to
League Island. where he became III
with rheumatism.

Despite Those of Court.

DIES MONIES, Ia. Aug. 22.-News of
the marriage of Miss Katherine Homan
and James Peyton at Manitou, Colo,
which reached the family of the girl
here yesterday, furnishes the sequel to
the most exciting courtship those who
know the story ever heard or read
about.
Peyton, who is a jeweler here, first
met Miss Homan about two years ago,
and he made up his mind on the spot
that he would make the girl his wife.
He has done it despite the opposition
of the girl. her parents and the efforts
of half a dozen judges. who have been
kept busy for more than a year issuing
injunctions' in a vain attempt to pre-
vent Peyton from making love to the
girl.
The girls relatives claim hat Peyton
had hypnotized Miss Homan. Proceed
ings for contempt of court and for an
nulment of the marriage are now
threatened by the mother.

dents contracted a disease of the
throat due to the germs in the flying
dust raised by automobiles. Charac-
terized by chiils, sore threats and
nausea. II generally terminated in a
few days. leaving the victim as well

have produced more a~ntagonism
against the automobile than yer be-
Sore existed.

for our to be hanged on a single scat
fold Is without precedent in the mem
ory of men serving in State offices.
