A MODERN LOVE TALE.

All the world loves lover.
And all the world loves love story.
even If It isn't true. Here Il pretty
one that Is true:
Miss Josie Morrison, the winsome
daughter OF S. r. Morrison. II wealthy
farmer Of palouse. Wash, eloped with
her fnther'a hired hand, William Hen
ry' Hughes, .4...s.-sas
Nhewi
The parents of tho girl were 80 EN-
ragged that the entire police force OF
the northwest was invoked to arrest
the pair OF lovers aud briug them
back. But Hughes aud Miss Morrison
knew n thing or two. and the police
never found them.
Not much romance about that. you
say. 1t happens every day. But wait.
William Henry Hughes was no or
binary farm hand. lie IL the son OF
millionaire contractor OF pittaburg and
In sole heir to vast estates. including
country mansion In the Adirondacks.
What was he doing out In Washing
ton? He went west In search Of his
|
gained by hard labor Az Il common
farm hand he did good work during
harvest and then hired out TO MorrL
son for term Of four months.
And the beauty about this romance
N Hughes never admitted word con-
cerning his place or position In society
10 the girl he wooed and won.
| So that when Josie Morrison found
herself falling In lovo with tho good
| looking modest aud we'll educated
Hughes abe thought there was ahead
of her nothing but hard life of
drudgery. She knew her parents
would never voluntarily agree to her
marriage with tie farm hand. But she
fearlessly faced the future that life
with poor man would bring
She loved Hughes for himself. And
he loved her the more because he knew
the noble sacrifice she was fhaking In
her own mind.
| But when Hughes made. himself
known TO the elder Morrlsons after the
marriage II different mir graced their
paternal countenunces.
Hughes as a mere farm hand was
odlous. ny the son OF u millionaire
quite acceptable.
Such IL the sordidness of parental
estimation.
There was n fine reception ready for
the clippers when they came back The
farm hand son-in-law had sent back
east In the meantime for his mother,
who came west and graeed the recep-
ton.
The account goes on 20 state that
the bride is a graduate of an eastern
college and In every way fitted for her
new position.
The moral? There isn't any.
This Is love story pure and single
and sweet and true.

Stop and think bow glad you ought
10 be because you got tired end hun

Why? Because YOU can enjoy to the

And Il Is the greatest cure In the
world for grief and sorrow
No wonder Adam and I've fell.
They had absolutely nothing 10 do
but to roam through the garden and
pluck what they wnnted--snve from

nothing whatever to do will fall.
Before the "fall" Adam and Eve
never got tirsd, because they never la
