Matter of Fact,

A visitor from London found in a cafe at Rotterdam Dutchman who had been about bit and who spoke English perfectly well.
 This Dutchman was smoking china pipe of remarkable size and beauty, and the, Londoner, an admirer and col lector of such bric-a-brac. took the Iib- erty to comment upon it.
 You could not stumble upon a pipe like that every day." said the English man.
 The Dutchman took three or four whiffs at the pipe and then slowly re- moved it from his moath.
 Certainly not without breaking it." he said, gravely.-London Chronicle.

Given Her Choice,

Little Harry's experience with death was limited to the decease of a pet canary which had been sent to a taxi dermist and now adorned the parlor mantel.
 His grandmother, of whom he was very fond, was taken suddenly ill. For some time after he learned of, her con dition he sat in brown study. Then, as if coming to sudden resolution, he tiptoed into the sickroom and, eau tiously approaching the bed, fixed his serious big brown eyes upon his dear relative and said, with little quiver in his voice:
 Say, grandma, if you die, which would you rather be-buried or stuff- ed? Cause if you're buried we can't see you no more, but if you're stuffed we can set you in the parlor."
 Grandma immediately began to mend.-London Scraps.

DENIES SHE ELOPED,
Helen MaIoney Says She Never Went Abroad With CIarkson.
REFUSED MARRIAGE LICENSE.
One of Archbishop Ryan's Assistants at the Philadelphia Cathedral De- cIares That Catholic Church Will Not Reunite Heiress and Osborne.

Philadelphia, Nov. ST never mar ried Samuel Clarkson. It is all lie mean, despicable lie. I never went abroad with him. never eloped with him. There is nothing between us and never was. Now it's all settled, and l won't say one word more."
 Helen Maloney- Osborne, rhurrying from her fathers mansion here to his summer home at Spring Lake, N. J.. where the scandal that followed her recent disappearance is endeavoring to be laid at rest through the sanctifica- tion, of the previous Osborne, marriage by the church, made this passionate pronouncement.
 While she was making it Arthur Herbert Osborne, who has been recon- ,ciled to the late bewitchment of his wife, was hurrying by another route to Spring Lake cottage. So was Mar tin Maloney, her father, along a diff ferent track, while Mrs. Maloney rush. ed over still another trail to the sum- mer home in Jersey. ~
 Family Meet at Summer Home. <.
 At midnight Spring Lake held all the persons enmeshed in the tangled do mestic web. Only Clarkson wasn't there. He is said to be careless of both the web he helped to weave or the unweaving of it, owing to hand some sum paid by the Standard Oil magnate for his promise to mix up in it no more forever. t&ES y
 Apparently the girl herself had been home several days. So had her mother and MT. Osborne. who scurried over from. New York, when he learned that MT. Maloney had come. back to patch things up and stop the gossiping in both New York and Philadelphia ,so- ciety. -'<,-% < :
 What was said and done at the se- cret conference held ill the early morl- ing isn't known definitely, but shortly after noon Andrew P. Maloney dashed up in a cab and joined it, and pretty soon afterward William J. F;.nnin, the Maloneys' confidential lawyer from New York, also appeared in rush.
 Fails to Get Marriage License.
 Soon after that one of the ALaEoneys hurried, out and sought City Clerk. Goe. bel asking for license so that Mrs. Osborne and Mr. Osborne might be married again by Catholic priest. The city clerk said that was wholly impossible, there already having been one marriage The emissary returned to the house, and there were more con. ferences.
 Miss Maloney will not be remarked to Osborne with the sanction of the Catholic church, according -to- oHe, of Archbishop Ryan's assistants at tho cathedral.
 ''The civil ceremony would be pos. itive barrier to church marriage, Then the church recognizes that cere. , mony as binding" it was said by a priest. If there was such an impedi. ment as would render the marriage null and void in the eyes of the law aa well as the church. then such impedi. ment would still be operative in all probability. And in any event if a civil and religious ceremony are re. quested the church invariably demands priority and the original Of the mar riage license, the duplicate serving fo: the magistrate"

Cresnoughs Said to b in Doubt About

(Spokesman-Review)

''Wc have been disappointed in
the showings made in the Copper
King since we have taken an option
on the property said 7. L.
Greenough last night. The option
expires on August 81, but as yet
am not prepared to say whether we
will take it up. l have not held
consultation with either the super
intendent or those who are inter-
ested with me in the project and
will not decide until a few days
before the option expires. F"
Because of poor showirigs made
and the reported faulting of the
vein in the Copper King it has been
currently rumored that the option
of Mr.. Greenough and associates on
1,l0O, 900 shares of Copper King
would he dropped on expiration.
