she told them all, whether she liked
them or not. ..l
Then Arthur Kemp appeared on the
scene.
He had gone TO Paris three years
ago to seek relaxation from all his
domestic troubles. He told his friends
he would never tempt matrimony
again; that he intended to remain a
bachelor for the rest of his days.
All of his resolutions we're changed in
the twinkling of an eye.
At reception at the American en-
bassy in Paris Arthur Kemp met
Miss Kaye. He was smitten from
the very first; gossip soon linked their
names together. While young Mr..
Kemp had never known Miss Kaye in
his country, he found she came Of a
fine New Orleans family.
She was born there and when but
young girl went to Nazareth con-
vent in Kentucky, under the tutelage
of both French and Spanish sisters.
She was already a linguist of distinc-
tion-this bright southern girl-and at
the tender age Of ten she carried off
the medal for French against older
girls than she at Nine. Pickard's fash

leans.
Finally young Mr.. Kemp forgot his
resolution. He proposed and was ac-
cepted.
The marriage took place the other
day between this young man who
said he'd never marry again, and this
girl, who had promised to marry none
but an American, The man failed in
his resolution-but do you blame him

EGGS THAT ARE FREAKS.
One That Weighed Five Ounces-An-
other Undisturbed for 300 Years.

1t is announced that an egg laid by
hen belonging to coastguards Off
Ger at bridgeport Conn. measured
7Ss inches by 6% inches, while an
other of similar size picked up in a
farmyard at Fenny Stratford was, on
being opened, found to contain a per-
fectly second egg. The record mon
ster chickens egg is believed to be
one of S% inches by Z inches and
weighing five ounces.
The most freakish eggs are attrib-
uted to ducks. The Weston Park mu-
scum. Sheffield, has ducks egg which
contains another smaller one inside,
and a still greater curiosity in twin
egg, the two being joined together end
to end.
An egg apparently in a state Of per-
feet preservation is reported to have
been discovered embedded in the NOR
tar of an ancient church near Paris.
AS the wall had been standing for fully
500 years the egg must have been un.
disturbed for all that long period.

1897 he married her. The ceremony
took place at st. Patrick's cathedral,

The late Archbishop Corrigan off,
ciated at the service.
A few days later the young bridal
couple were called to the bedside OF
the bridegroom's dying mother. She
expired soon afterward.
The two were apparently perfectly
happy until 1902, spending their win
ters in New York and their summers
in Newport. Then there was gossip
that the two had become estranged;
this proved to be true when Mrs.
Kemp left her husbands home and
went back to her mothers, No. 100
Fifth avenue. There she lay i'll a
long while with nervous pSostration.
AS soon as she was we'll Mrs. Kemp
No. l determined to take matters in
her own hands. She made up her
mind to get a divorce in Rhode Is
land. AS the law of that state re-
quires a person to live there a year
before attaining legal residence, Mrs.
Kemp took cottage and remained
in Newport for the winter. Meanwhile
there was all sorts of gossip. In due
season Mrs. Kemp got her divorce.

MEMORY OF THE sAeEBRUsH.
Idaho Journal Urges Tribute to God
dess of the Past.

Some time during the year the gov
ernment will begin the expenditure of
$350,OOO upon an irrigation system
upon lands north of Pocatello, Idaho,
an immense tract which in years when
immigrants struggled across it with
OK teams toward lands of then greater
promise was given over to sagebrush
and bunchgrass Within two years at
most the sagebrush will have disap-
peared from this tract and in it's place
will appear the plebeian cabbage, the
succulent young onion, the palatable
potato the useful alfalfa and the fra
grant hay. Before the transformation
is accomplished it would be well for
Pocatello to hold a grand fiesta in
honor of the sage, festoon her homes
and public highways with sprigs of
bouquets of sage, thus heaping homage
upon the altar of a goddess who is
about to be deposed but who is worthy
of all honor for past greatness, ,--Poca-
tello Tribune.

bright, leading merchant of this
place, was shot to death as he lay in
bed in his home in a drunken sleep,
by his mother-inlaw, Mrs. Sarah Con-

The woman used a double-barreled
shotgun, loaded with buckshot, and
she put the contents of both barrels
into the sleeping mans head, tearing
1t to pieces.
Albright went to Huntsville and re-
turned home drunk. When he reached
home he began to abuse his wife and
two children and ran them from home.
He tried to make Mrs. Connally leave,

then fell across the bed and was soon
asleep.
Mrs. Connally has been arrested.
She admits she killed Albright and

The Wooing of the Count.
The most ardent of them followed
Miss Kaye and her chum, Miss Mil

this continent and all the way to Eu-

Hohnstein, whose mother was lady-in-

Miss Kaye met him in the west,
where she was travelling with Miss
Harrison, just before leaving for Paris
Count Holstein appeared at every city

DR.. M. H. Parmelee, physician and

Beer drinkers are peculiarly liable to
die of pneumonia. Their vital power,
their power of resistance, their wis

they are liable to drop off from amy
form of acute disease, such as fevers,
pneumonia, etc. AS a rule, when a
