The child is to become not on

this in view in compiling this
work. It does not take the
place of Civil Government but
works nicely with it. 1t is more

Every community has a history
though few have one that
touches the main stream of ma

The book does not deal with

Arthur Herbert Osborne OF this city.
Miss Maloney was married to Os-

parents in Philadelphia until she
eloped with Samuel r. Clarkson to
Canada, from where the couple went
to England.

daughter back with him, and soon af-
ter a suit was brought by Miss Ma

to Osborne on the ground that 1T was
not valid. The motion to make final

this suit four months ago was granted
today on default 1t leaves Miss Ma

choose to do so.
In explaining her reason for partici-

idea of blocking plan which she de-
clares she feared her parents had in
mind to take her to Europe and com
pei her to marry "one of two titled
foreigners" These titled foreigners
were known to herself and parents, the
papers aver. She declares that she
never was known as Csborpe's wife.

stomach trouble so badly that she
could not eat or retain anything
on her stomach, but now she is happy

things of the past. Today she can

a tonic about her wonderful recovery
She says nothing seemed to help her
until she took Duffy's Pure Malt

and it worked like magic. Miss

it may be the means of showing the
