serts that Joseph Poarch, a grocer
with a big store, made love to her

of her time. Finally he proposed
by wire, the electric current and
other waves carrying back to him the
m~uch-desired yes" Then Miss Mag

Maggie, | am married. We are

also busy with a lawyer, with the re-
suit that she filed a suit for $4,000
for breach of promise of marriage.
This is Maggie; you're sued; good
voice over the wire next day. Yes

CH1ID,s STORY OF GOD.

At Mecca, which is in the Fairview-
Wonder mineral belt, a family from
Montana was camped n evening
recently while waiting to continue the
Journey to Wonder. In this party
were a man and his wife and a wee
tot of a girl who could barely speak.
When the hour of bedtime for the
little one approached the mother
said:
"Stella, it's time for you to go to
bed" and the child began to take
off her clothes, and after she was
ready for bed and stood in her nightie
she forgot her prayers. Her mother
reminded her.
"Stella, now say your prayers"
The child knelt reverently beside the
wagon tongue and turning her face
to the blue vault above, addressed
her prayer as follows:
Dear bod. l love you, bod, and
I want you to love papa and mamma
bod. Say. bod. we're doin' to Won.
der. Goodby, bod. Well never see
you again"

SHOULD BE NO TROUBLE
Cowboy Wants to Wed Girl With
Neat Sum

PHILADELPHIA, April 10
Somewhere in Philadelphia is a beau
tiful woman with $4,452-just
$4,452-who wants to get married.
Way out in Indian territory there
is a cowboy who wants to find her.
The cowboy, Francis Wallace of
Fleetwood, Indian territory-yes,
sir-ee-saw the picture of the beauti-
full Philadelphia in a matrimonial
paper. Under the stars on the West
ern plains he dreamed of her by
night. In the daytime, while herding
and rounding up cattle, he ruminated
over the $4.452.
At last he wrote about the lovely
lady to the postmaster of Philadel-
phia, asking the latter to find her.
Wallace thought a woman of such
charms would be known by every
body. His letter read:
please find me the woman who
corresponds with this picture. She
says she has $4.452 and wants to get
married. l wish you would find out
her name, and also if she has as
much money as she claims to have.
In case you find her, she'll want a
description of me, so I send it. l am
33 years old, have brown hair and
blue eyes; l am five feet eight inches
tall, and weigh 1873 pounds"
The picture inclosed by Wallace is
that of a very pretty brunette, about
80 years old. Judging from the
printed matter on the back, the pic
ture was torn from a matrimonial
paper published in Bridgeton, N. j.
Under the cut was this alluring cap
ton:
Il am a young widow of 80; light
brown hair and blue-gray eyes; !
weigh 154 pounds, and am of shapely
form; have fair, rosy, complexion.
good health and an affectionate dis
position. l have $4,452 now, and will
inherit $4,000"

IN MARRYING BUSINESS

New York has a marrying parson.
He is the Rev. Henry Marsh Warren.
His home is az As West Ninety-fourth
street. His record up to date is
three marriages in one evening-the
third one after midnight. He per-
formed the last ceremoney while clad
in a b~athrobe, and fifteen minutes
later took up his sleep where he had
left off.
Besides being a marrying parson,
the Rev. Mr.. Warren is a genius. 1t
requires a genius, in these days, to
devise a new occupation, and Mr..
Warren devised one. Being the son
of a hotel proprietor, it occurred to
him that at least one preacher In
New York could be kept busy by act
ing assthe chaplain of the hotels. He
made the necessary arrangements
with the p%roprietors, hung a sign in
the lobby of every hotel-and has
been busy ever since.

RECOVERED NECKLACE

NEW YORK, April 13.-That q
pearl necklace belonging to Mrs.
Tyler Morse, wife of a Boston So
ciety man, had been found in the pos
session of Justice P. Henry Dugro,
proprietor of the Savoy hotel, by a
detective, who had recaptured the
trinket, valued at 100000, and re-
stored it to it's fair possessor in At
lantic City, is the story that kept H..
H. Ries, manager of the hotel, busy
explaining the other day.
Mr.. Ries. said Mrs. Morse was a
frequent guest at the Hotel Savoy.
She came to the hotel about three
months ago with Mr.. Morse and left
for Atlantic City March IA. The
Morse servants packed up the be-
longings and the party set out for
Atlantic City. Mr.. Ries believes that
the carelessness of a servant caused
to be mislaid a small box containing
the necklace.
One of the hotel servants found
the box with the necklace and took
it down stairs, where it was locked
up in the safe. Mrs. Morse found
out that she was shy a 100000
necklace when she had her trunks
unpacked in the Marlborough-Blen
helm at Atlantic City.
The next day Hank Wilson, de
t~ectiYe, arrived from Atlantic CITY
at the Hotel Savoy with a power o
attorney from Mrs. Morse and asked
if the Savoy people had seen he
necklace.
Mr.. Ries called up Mrs. Morse
who verified the sleuth's story ant
thanked the hotel manager for get
ting her necklace.
That was all there was to 1t.
"Was 1t a necklace worth 500,
OO0?" Mr.. Ries was asked.
I'm not good at appraisini
} Jewels" said he, but It had the ap
pearance of being expensive"

PROTECTS HUsBAND
Woman After Black Hand With Pts
toll and Knife.

PHILADELPHIA, April 13.-Woe
to any member of the Black Hand
who m near Mrs. Frank A. Cuneo
Of 9O1 South Eighth street.
Mrs. Cuneo is armed with a revolt
yer of 32-caliber, a murderous-look-
ing stiletto and a big knife, all of
which she has permission to use in
se~lf-defense if the Black Hand tries
to intimidate her husband further.
Just because the Cuneos are pros
porous, the Black Hand desperadoes
have picked the family out for attack.
1t has been several months since
Cuneo received the first letter de-
manding sums of money, and since
then many threatening missives have
arrived.
Suspicious-looking Italians have
been seen in the immediate vicinity
of the Cuneo home, and when one
man told Cuneo several days ago
that the family would not be given
further warning to comply with the
demands of the Black Hand, Cuneo
obtained permission from the police
to arm himself and wife. Cuneo also
carries a revolver and dirk.
Mrs. Cuneo conceals the revolver in
a cleverly arranged pocket in her
skirt, from where It can be taken
out in a iiffy. The stiletto and dirk
can be closed, and they have been
placed in the folds of her waist.
Il do not intend to be pestered any
more" Mrs. Cuneo said. II know
every good Italian In this section of
the city, and if / see a stranger Turk
ing around my home it will not be
good for him."

fected an organization. A banquet
was held at which Andrew Carnegie

Let no poet, great or small,
Say that he will sing a song;
For song cometh, if at all,
Not because we WOO it long,
But because it suits it's will,
Tired at last of being still.
Every song that has been sung
Was before it took a voice,
Waiting since the world was young,
For the poet of his choice.

May they come. today to mel

Whatsoever they impart;
Sorrows sent by them are sweet,
They know how to heal the heart;
Ay, and in the lightest strain
Something serious doth remain.
What are my white hairs, forsooth
And the wrinkles on my brow?
l have still the soul of youth!
l can still with number feet
Fill the world with dancing feet.

Old am I this many a year;
But my songs will yet be suns

Sing my songs, and think of me!
