WAITS TWENTY YEARS TO WE'D
Girl Engaged I'm Youth True to Man
Who Married Another.

Spokane. Wash. Feb. 27.-This IS the
story OF woman's heart remaining true
10 her first love and OF a widower.
wealthy but lonely, turning back to the
object Of his youthful affection. The re-
suit was the marriage Of Miss Mary
Oswalt, OF Chicago, and l. a. Brookway.
Of Rosalla. Wash. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. F. II. Smith, OF
the Congregational Church.
Brockway was learning the furniture
business at Vicksburg, Miss, late in the
SOS. when he met Miss Oswalt. a
graduate nurse, fresh from a Northern
hospital who was in the South TO minis
ter to the sick following the yellow fever
epidemic.
She had occasion 10 nurse young Brock
way, who was suffering from another
ailment. She brought him successfully
through the illness and ne asked her 70
marry him. She accepted.
Brockway soon aftey came 70 Spokane,
going hence 10 RosaIia, where he opened
store. Gradually he and the nurse
married another woman. Mrs. Brockway
died two years ago. leaving her husband
and a fOur-year-old child
Through friends at Vicksburg Brock
way learned that Miss Oswait was still
single, and after obtaining her address
he opened correspondence. The old at
tachment, begun twenty years before,
reasserted itself. and BrOckway persuaded
Miss Oswalt, then living IN Chicago, 10
come West, and the wedding followed.

From the Phhadelphia Public Ledger.
A woman who can cleverly utilize odds
and ends that most Of US would throw,
away has found a fascinating use for
small embroidered tea cloths that are too
small for card table and too big for a
centerpiece. She turns them into sofa
pillows that are striking in their novelty.
IF the cloth has a deep embroidered
border the center OF linen is cut av-av
and the border appliqUed to a cover az
COlOTed art linen. giving il an air OF hand
some hand embroidery. These cushions
are made uD 10 button so they may be
easily laundered.
A tea cloth with drawn-work border is
used as a cover TO a cOlored lining. which
gives a charming effect with no work.
Sometimes large monogram Is embroid-
cred heavily IN the center OF the tea
cloth 1t is done either in white or in a
colcr to match the lining.
This is an excellent way to use center
pieces that have worn into holes. though
the border is still in good conGItion.

GOrSe Ont of Blossom.

In England and Scotland many OF the
moors are covered with a plant bearing
lovely yellow blossoms. called gorse. II

men and maids OF Merrie England and
Bonny Scotland there is an old saving.

frame that measure than any other man.
Mr.. Mckinley was perhaps the only au-
thor Of tariff bin who has written a
book on the tariff.
William L. Wilson was probably the
most scholarly man who ever wrote an
American tariff law At the time Of his
election to the House Of Representatives
he was President Of the University OF
West Virginia He was assigned 10 the
position Of chairman OF the Committee
on Ways and Means over the heads Of
all those who had been members Of that
committee. This was done by Speaker
Crisp as a compromise, and a recognition
OF the Cleveland Democracy IN the House,
Mr.. Wilson's after career is familiar his
tory. He left a university presidency 20
take up the duties Of public life, and i'm
mediateiy after laying down those duties
was elected president Of the historic
Washington and Lee University. and died
IN this position.
Nelson Dingley, owner and editor Of the
Lewiston (AIe) Journal. was perhaps the
only editor OF a daily paper who ever
drafted a tariff law Dingley was not a
man Of surprising ability. but he had a
wonderful capacity for hard study. Not
an orator, but rather possessing weak
and not too pleasant voice; not Of pre-
possessing personal appearance. but slight
and weak looking. he knew that the only
way TO succeed in Congress was 20 know
what there was TO know concerning the
subjects of legislation. A colleague VINO
boarded at the same hotel says OF him
that he never visited Nelson Dingley's s
room that he did not find him ensconced
in an easy chair with books and doeu-
ments surrounding him. and pad and
pencil in his hand
Pig Iron Kelly. Samuel J. Randall. Fer
nando Wood, and many others might be
included IN the list OF those who have
written tariff bills. To write such Dill
requires immense thought, great discre-
ton, scrupulous integrity. and abundant
lack Of selhshness. Most Of those who
have prepared tariff measures-success-
ful and unsuccessful-haye possessed
those qualities.
