Many Times Married.

There are some very remarkable in
stances of people who have been mar
ried large number of times, and also
Of husbands and wives who have lived
together to an extraordinary age. st.
Jerome mentions a woman who mar
ried her twenty-second husband, who,
in his turn, had been married to twen-
ty wives. There is an instance re-
corded In Bordeaux in 1772 of a man
who had been married sixteen times.
A woman named Elizabeth Nase, who
died in Florence in 176S, had been mar
ried to seven husbands, her last we'd
ding taking place when she was seven
ty years of age. Numerous cases exist
all over the world Of people who have
been married four, five or six times.
In 1769 couple was living in Essex
who had been married eighty-one
years, the husband being 107 years old
and his wife only four years younger.
These cases are also not isolated ones,
and it is somewhat remarkable that in
most of such instances when one has
died the survivor has died the next

Why Neqroes Like WatermeIons.

The humorists always associate the
African with the watermelon, assum-
ing that the taste of the colored man
for his favorite dainty arises from his
life in the southern states, where the
melon vine grows like a weed. AS a
fact, however, the African taste for
the watermelon is hereditary. The
vine is a native Of Africa, where it is
found wild in the great central plains
of the continent, and has also been cul-
tivated for many ages. In Egypt the
melons grown along the Nile rival
those of southeastern Missouri. The
melons mentioned by the Israelites as
being among the good things they had
in Egypt were undoubtedly watermel-
ons. for in the wall paintings about
the time Of the exodus the melon vine
is represented. and in one case long
procession Of slaves is depicted, each
bearing Oh his shoulder a huge, dark
green watermelon. - Washington Her

Dick Ewing was a true southerner
and would not stoop to ask favors of a
negro. He wheeled around and half
way down the lane met Eleanor, sit
ting her gray horse as. if born to the
saddle.
"Good morning!" she sang out mer-
rily. "rm on my way to beg Roxanna
to return to her old duties. My hairs

buttons and-well, I must have my

Dick smiled, not without malice.

man always lends dignity to an attack
of this sort" continued Eleanor. And
Dick turned his horses head in the
same direction.
RoXanna was called to the door,
where Abraham had stood a few mo-
ments before, and her mistress i'm
plored her to return. She offered the
same excuse that had greeted Dick
Miss Nor, Abraham seems like he
thinks / ought to work for his folks,
an when you're married''-
Eleanor and Dick wheeled about and
rode down the lane at full speed. Con-
versation seemed to lag until they
reached the spacious porch of the
Wright home.
Lets talk the matter over seriously,
Eleanor" said Dick. 81 may call you
Eleanor, mayn't I? And let's us go
back to the old time chumminess Of
childhood"
Eleanor looked at the fence where
they had parted in anger-but she ac-
quiesced.
"The other day as 1 was going to
that Internal darlzy wedding which up
set two erstwhile happy homes stop
ped under the old apple tree by the
turn of the road, and I reached up to
gather some blossoms" began Dick.
Eleanor leaned forward as If listen
ing to an interesting story. "They
We're out Of my reach, and when I
found that 1 could not get them I felt
as if 1 had lost something which had
never really been mine, yet something
which I had always coveted subcon-
sciously."
Eleanor smiled, with a suggestion Of
a blush.

something else. All my life I have
wanted my little neighbor. AS boy L
teased you, but 1 wanted you. AS a
man 1 missed you in Germany. love
you, and must have you. Perhaps I
am reaching up too far. Perhaps you
are way above me, as the blossoms
Were."
He hesitated as if waiting for an all
sWer. Eleanor leaned back in her
chair. Her lips twitched. Her eyes
danced
"Dick, tell me truly one thing, and I
will answer your question"
He rose and stood beside her in the
golden sunlight. The soft breezes blew
few petals on them both.
''Dick Ewing, on your honor, do you
want me-just me, Eleanor Wright-or
do you want Roxanna and Abraham?"
Two hearty young laughs resounded
through the air.
Honest Injun, dear, want just you,
and I want you, as they say in the
song, Because You're You,'" emphat-
ically declared Dick as he drew a not
unwilling captive within his arms.
Eleanor pushed him aside and with
mock dignity said:
"Come, dear-yes, dear Dick-let's go
back to the old cabin and see if Rox-
anna and Abraham will come and work

NF all the many questions that are
constantly being asked the war
" department at Washington TO
answer. the one most frequently put
before it is as to the correct posi-
ton of flying "Old Glory" on Memorial
day at army posts and stations.
To those who have no relation to
the military service it is almost the
universal belief that the flag should be
displayed at half-staff all OF May 80;
but this is not so, for paragraph 444
of the army regulations prescribes as
follows:
"444. On Memorial day, May 80, at
all army posts and stations, the ma
tional flag will be displayed at half
STAFF from sunrise till midday, and i'm
mediately before noon the band, or
field music, will play some appropriate
air, and the national salute of 81 guns
will be fired at IL m. at all posts and
stations provided with artillery. At
the conclusion of this memorial trib-
ute at noon, the flag will be hoisted
to the top of the staff and will remain
there until sunset. When hoisted to
