~ nee in a while love can't find a
~ way" but gropes about blindly
| for time in the darkness and
then changes his mind. OF course
this is not the real kind of love, but
that spurious passion which mistakes
| itself.
When young man wants to marry
| a woman old enough to be his grand
mother Cupid regards the affair as a
mere joke and feels justified in inter
fering to stop the match. Frank
Beckman of Cincinnati, O., is only 81
years old, but he got romantic
streak and decided that he wanted to
| marry Mrs. Hagenback, a widow of
65.
At least that is what the widow
thought She put on her wedding
gown and repaired to ST. Paurs Cath
olic church, where the ceremony was
to be performed. The wedding guests
were there and the bride was smiling
happily.
But the smile changed from natural
ness into a set, mechanical grin The
widow, respondent in her wedding
finery, plainly showed signs of uneasi-
ness.
DO you think he is coming?' ques-
toned her friends. She was game
Certainly" she answered sereneIy.
Frank would not disappoint me- He
is the soul of honor and i am sure
that he loves me-"
But at least he could have sent you
word if he was going to be delayed"
insisted her friends, posing in the
light of Jobs comforters.
The widow, however, smiled on.
She was in love and love is ever
ready to find excuses. She only grew
indignant when her friends exchanged
meaning smiles and openly expressed
their somewhat scornful pity.
But the bridegroom came not. Mes
sengers were dispatched to seek him,
but they could not find him. They
limited that his heart had failed him
at the last moment, perhaps. But Mrs
Hagenback was full of confidence. She
could not believe that Frank would
j1lt her at the last moment and she
waited
At last the wedding had to be put
OFF sine die, for lack of a bridegroom,
but the aged bride expressed her be-
lief that Frank was kidnapped and hid
den by his relatives, who objected to
the marriage. She declares that
when he gets out of the tolls he will
flee to her side and that the marriage
will take place yet.

An Italian captain recently navigated
his ship up the Tiber, from Ostia to
Rome, in order to attract attention to
the necessity of dredging the river and
developing the old port at its mouth.
He touched ground several times. and
had to wait till the rain raised the wa
ter in the river before he could return
to the sea- The harbor at Ostia was
not very good even in the days of the
Caesars, but modern engineering skill
might find way to prevent it from
filling up with silt.

Indian BuriaIs.

The Indian method of burial was to
hasten corpse upon cross-sucks sup
ported by poles in the ground or in
the boughs of the treetops- Here the
air and the elements silently disposed
of the lifeless clay, until in a year or
so but little remained to bear evidence
of tomb, perhaps some broken
sticks in the top, and a few scattered
beads or human bones beneath the
burial place 1 cannot conceive OF
anything more pitifully grewsome
than an Indian burial ground

We're shaking and swaying the plat

tempest and storm when the breath
of life stirred within them--Army and

TN Butte, Mont, they love money
well, but they love love better
Miss Montana Largely was born
in Butte Her father was an associ-
ate of Senator Clark in the early days
OF the big copper camp. He became
one of the financial kings of the north
west, and his daughter, named after
her native state, was a beauty and a
social favorite in Butte
During her school days Miss Mon
tana gave her heart to Ray MacDon-
aid, young Scotch1nan from Canada.
Ray was poor, but that did not make
any difference to Montana She loved
him.
When her father was killed in his
bank Miss Largely was sent east to be
educated Her mother hoped and be-
lieved that she would outgrow the girl
ish attachment for the poor boy. At
school in the big eastern college the
Butte girl was as popular socially as
any other rich and winsome girl. She
had many admirers and would-be low
ers Some of these were rich and
famous, but they could not touch her
heart Always she remembered the
youth back in Butte who was clerking
In cab office at $50 month.
This summer, when she went hack
to Montana, her fathers estate was
divided, and Miss Largely received as
her share just S27 less than a million.
BY saving her income for a day or
two she had more than a million. She
was one of the richest 19-year-old girls

money stood between them. and il
seemed that he never would propose.

you will share it with me- she told
Ray Macdonald IF you are going to
be proud and stuck up about it. and
let 1t come between us, the money will
make me wretched. 1 love you"
Then she looked at him with a tear

that love does not laugh at spank
ings has been demonstrated in the

had seen Miss Weaver home and as
he was leaving her at the gate. Blush

might come.
