STORY OF A KEY AND DISASTER
You may be interested to hear of n
thing which happened to me in Brit
Iahy last summer. had to sign some
railway transfers before the nearest
BRUSH Consul, who was at Brest. I
locked up the papers and railway
stocks In Breton cupboard as high
as the ceiling and very solid. / kent
the Key In my pocket. When my eou-
sin and l were ready to start I took
out the key and 1t would not open its
own cupboard. The servants came in
turn and tried in vain. We had to
miss our train to Quimper. which
was our first stage to Brest. Now
our village blacksmith was very
rough and ready, so the next morn
Ing l said l would try the key %1yseIf
once more, before he perhaps ruined
my lock.
The key fitted perfectly and we
went. But, imagine, we found at the
station great placards posted up tell
Ing OF the awful wreck of the Brest
train the day before, and 1t was the
train in which we should have been
but for the obstinacy of the key. We
saw the carriages all fallen into the
river, and the dead and dying were
In the hospital at Quimper. We feel
this to be a preservation wrought
from the next world that is so near.

MARRIAGE LAWS ABROAD.

new Dreaeh OF Promise Cases Arc
Averted In Hungary.
There are many curious and inter.
esdng facts regarding the marriage
and divorce laws Of foreign countries"
said B. J. Brown, who recently return
ed from q trip abroad, where he made
Q study of b question.
Breaches Of promise are averted In
Hungary by an express declaration Of
the civil marriage act that the relations
created by q betrothal do not give the
right to command the conclusion OF q
marriage, but IL either party with
draws from an engagement without
1ust reasons he or she is bound to
grant compensation to tho extent OF
the outlay incurred Divorce in the
English sense does not exist, but the
courts can decree the personal separa-
don Of q married couple without dis
diving the boPds of matrimony.
"a curious law prevailing in France
provides that before being married
children OF a family, although over
z shall seek in respectful and form
al terms the advice of their father and
mother. 1t makes no difference, how
ever, whether the consent Of parents Is
given, for the couple can be married a
month after under any circumstances.
This Is also the case in the Neither
lands. A divorce further entities the
innocent party to recover all the pres
snts he or she may have made.
According to the constitution OF the
Netherlands, the civil marriage must
always precede the religious ceremony.
The latter, indeed. is left entirely to
the conscience of the parties concern
ed. There is also a law providing that
no man or woman under thirty can
marry without b consent Of parents.
If the consent be refused. the couple
have to appear before a Judge. who
advises them as he thinks best.
MANY countries have now abolished
all marriage fees. This Is the case In
Norway, while in the Netherlands GER
tain days In the week are set apart
when persons may be married without

BENTON AND

How the Snowman Got . Free Ad.
From the Statesman.
James G. Blaine said that after Ere
mont became famous as a pathfinder
Benton, who had opposed his marriage
with his daughter Jessie, became recon
ciled with his son-in-law and took great
pride in his achievements as a western
explorer.
The square ON the southern side OF
Pennsylvania avenue. now occupied by
Center market, was then used as a
show ground for circuses and other
perfpatetic exhibitions. About this time
p. T. Barnum was beginning his ca
reel as a Snowman, and as Colonel Ben
ton was walking down Pennsylvania
avenue opposite this show ground he
was attracted by the words John G.
Fremont uttered in a loud voice by q
Snowman standing at the door OF q
small tent, in front Of which was n
garish c%aricature Of a nondescript ami
NAL supposed to represent the "woolly
horse" discovered by Fremont in the
recesses of the Rocky mountains.
Benton stalked across n avenue n
listened with great disgust to the state
ment by Barnum. who was his own
~doorkeeper and solicitor. that inside
the tent could be found the greatest
natural curiosity in the world. "the
woolly horse captured by General Ere
mont and now on exhibition"
Benton denounced Barnum as an i'm
postor and denied that his son-in-law
had discovered any such animal. Bar
mum. who did not know Benton, told
him fippantly to pay his quarter and
20 into the show or make less noise.
whereupon the indignant statesman
called upon the police to arrest Bar
mum, and a large crowd assembled TO
witness the extraordinary scene The
police refused to interfere, and Barnum
received a free advertisement, much to
his qualification and proit--George G..
Vest I'm Philadelphia Post.

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR
BILLS.
PHYSICIANS GIVE FREE ADVICE BY WHO
PARENTS MAY PROFIT.

1t was an association of gentlemen. .profes-
sionally physicians and chemists, all of whom
were born in the drug trade, so to speak, and
who have been connected with 1t all their lives,
who first gave to the world Castoria, which as
everyone knows is a pleasant and effective
remedy for the ailments of infants and children.
1t has always been recognized as a mer1torious
est popularity ever enjoyed by any remedy ever
put upon the market; attained, not by fiamboy-
gar prejudice. but BY Inherent merit. Ali ply
sicians recommend it, and many, very many,
prescribe it.
Many other parents take advantage of what the
physician told them when he was first called in
CONSULTATION, All good family physicians say :
know this remedy of old, for they took it them
selves as children. 1t was more than thirty years
ago that Castoria made place for itself in the
household. 1t bore the signature of Charles H.
Fletcher then, as it does today. The signature
is its guarantee which is accepted in thousands
of homes where there are children.
Much is printed nowadays about big families.
DIR. William J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., is the
father of one of these much about families.
Here is what he says:
ssAs the father of thirteen children certainly
know something about your great medicineand
aside from my own family experience have, in
my years of practice, found Castoria popular
and efficient remedy in almost every home.'
Charles H. Fletcher has received hundreds of
letters from prominent physicians who have the
same esteem for Castoria that DIR. McCranu has
Not only do these physicians say they use Cas-
toria in their own families. but they prescribe it
for their patients. First of all it is a vegetable
preparation which assimilates the food and regu-
fates the stomach and bowels After eating
comes sleeping. and Castoria looks out for that
too. 1t allays feverishness and prevents loss of
sleep, and this absolutely without the use of
opium, morphine or other beneful narcotics.
Medical journals are reluctant to discuss pro-
prietary medicines. Halls Journal of Health,
however, says "Our duty is to expose danger
and record the means for advancing health. The
day for poisoning innocent children through
greed or ignorance ought to end. Toour knowl-
edge CastOria is a remedy which produces COM
posture and health by regulating the system, not
by Supplying it. and our readers are entitled to
the infOrmatiOn.n

HATS OFF TO FARMERS.
Lancaster lPa.l Eraminer.

LuHCuSteT (f'U.) EC0DttNeT.
Once again the farmer looms into prominence
and praise. He was one of the main factors in
determining the election of Judge Taft. He is
prosperous and knew it, and resolved not to
change conditions
But aside from his power as political and So
cial element in our bgpopulation, he is the only
one who can complaisantly view existing indus
trial conditions. His present position should
encourage him and his sons and daughters to
cling to the land and shun the city. All this the
Cleveland Press well points out in these sugges-
tive and truthful words:
"In spite of the big fortunes that are being
amassed in oil, steel and railroads and the great
regulations that are being made in the law,
literature and the pulpit, the timely fact re-
mains that the very best place to get the best
that there is in life is the old farm.
while the great financial and commercial
world is lamenting over hard times and wonder
ing what hit it and when affairs will get better,
the farmer is cheerily husking his full shocks of
golden corn and wondering what to do with the
money.
I'VE may laugh at the straw in the farmers
mouth, but we must take off our hats to the
enormous value of his wheat crop.
HE may have hayseed in his hair but he will
scratch it all out figuring up the princely value
of his hay crop.
Agriculture used to be popularity and prop
erly looked upon as the backbone of American
industry. OF recent years the enormous devel
opment of trusts and the almost fabulous figures
used in connection with the railway and bank
ing interests have blinded us to the solid indusl
other business.
"Tilling the ground is the one vocation in
which there is abundant room for all who will
engage in it. There is also a surety of reward
for intelligence and skill and there is besides
health and independence.
Probably none of the colleges in the United
States are doing better work than those which
are teaching young men to apply their brains as
well as their hands to farm work.
1.-THE farmer seems to deal at nearer hand with
his Creator than any other of his fellow-men,
and if he but knew it he is the most important
parsonage that walks the footstool.''

IT Is estimated that not less than $4,000 bal
lots were thrown out by the election judges in
Maryland on the Sd of November because of
improper markings of various kinds. OF
course it is impossible to say which party sus-
tanned the heaviest loss from this course, but
if $4,000 of them were Republican votes it is
easy to see that the State would have gone for
that party by decidedly handsome plurality.
An election ballot that deprives $4,000 citizens
of their rights is something that no political
party should be willing to stand for and the
fair-minded men in the Democratic party of
Maryland should see to it that this great wrong
is corrected.
