about lis first marriage are incidents
of a truely romantic nature.
In a small western Iowa town several
years ago, there dwelt two sisters,
young women of beauty and refinement.
A young insurance agent, George
Armstrong by name happened into the
Village on business, met the elder sis
ter, and after some weeks of courtship
became engaged to her.
The younger sister meanwhile re-
turned home from an eastern college
for the summer vacation. The girls
cleverness and light gaity fascinated
Armstrong. He became enamored OF
her, and without the knowledge of the
older sister, the pair left the village,
returning later man and wife.
Pleading for her sisters love, not
withstanding> the unhappiness which
was inevitably brought into the reject
ed woman's heart, the young bride was
forgiven, but the hurt in the, elder SIS
ter's heart could not heal SO soon.
Armstrong and his bride left the VIII
lage, going to Des Moines. The follow

breach between the affections of the
Two sisters, the elder one went down to
the capital and made her home with
Mr.. and Mrs. Armstrong. Boarding at
the Armstrong home at the time and

Judge N. M. Hubbard.
Hubbard fell violently in love with
Armstrong; wife. Armstrong appar-

between Armstrong and his wife was
granted, the husband welded the wife's

avoided a big accumulation, generally

dull and sluggish most of the time. In
fact. the general trade for the common
and medium grades is 10@15c lower
than week ago, tho the choice strong
weight feeders of good coors
have not changed much. There has
been a good reliable opening for that
class of steers right along, and the
few received this week We're quickly
sold. The outside demand is not as
general as it was, and most of it came
from the east this week. Farmers are
busy with spring work and this may
be given as one reason for the limited
demand, but the greatest factor is the
shortage of pasture All during the
month of April 1t was too cold for the
growth of grass, and thus far this
month the weather has been anything
but springlike. In some localities 1t rs
dry and many farmers are hesitating
about buying under the circumstances.
A spell of warm weather would no
doubt help the outside demand con-
siderably. The highest sale this week
was $3.50, with a few choice cattle
selling at S5@5.25. and a good many
at $4.75@4.s0. A large number OF me-
