Cow Adopts Orphan Pias.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May ia
strange and unusual case of adoption
is reported by Charles Sundberg, a
farmer residing in Brown county.
One of his COWS has voluntarily be-
come the foster mother of two little
pigs, which for some reason were dis
owned by their mother, who refuses
to have anything whatever to do with
them. When the orphan pigs become
hungry they follow the COW around
and Justify squeal until the COW oOlig-
ingly lies down and permits them TO
suckle.
This occurs at frequent intervals
and as a result the little adopted pigs
are thriving nicely and promise to
develop the generous proportions OF
other porkers.

RICH MAN WEEDS MANICURE.
And She's Almost %, While His Years
Are About 70.

New York, May ia story of Gu
pid's activities amid an environment
of barber chairs, bay rum bottles,
shears, razors and nail files was told
when r. A. Cushman of Newark, N. j.,
came to New York to obtain informa-
ton of his sister and found she had
changed her name. She used to be a
manicure in the Hoffman house bar
Der shop, now she is the wife of
Samuel Barney Wellington, an ex-
member Of the stock exchange, who is
reputed to be well-to-do.

brother says, thoug.- she does not look

After a year as manicure in the Ho.
tel Astor, Miss Cushman was led by
Cupid, in the guise of Fate, to take
employment in the Hoffman house
Her prettiness, quiet manner and big
brown eyes won her many friends.
Those charms led Mr. Wellington
when he fastened into the place to
have his finger nails smoothed and
polished one day about three months
ago. to forget his hurry.
1t was amazing how much attention
Mr.. Wellingtons finger nails needed
in the weeks that followed. Strange
too, but it did not annoy Miss Cush
man a bit that her careful work on
those finger ends seemed to have nc
permanent effect. Every job took
longer than before. Mr.. Wellington
does not look his age by twenty years
and he was an entertaining talker.
About o'clock in the afternoon OF
April 81, Mr.. Wellington sat opposite
the brown-gowned Miss Cushman
Just where Cupid was at the moment
no one can tell, but anyway Mr.
Wellington said:
why can't we get married?'
Somehow Miss Cushman seemed tc
have expected such remark, but she
said:
Nonsense; look at the difference
In our ages"
That's only a minor matter" re

he told the orphan girl of his country
home in zap Hank, l.. l.; of his thou

An hour afterwards Miss Cushmar
and Mr.. Wellington were in the city
hall getting a marriage license. They
took cab to the Little Church

ton married them. Mr.. Wellington's
business affairs would not permit his
leaving the city for a honeymoon al
once, so the couple went to the Hote
ST. George in Brooklyn, where Miss
Cushman's brother found them.
Mr.. Wellington was a widower. He
has one son, forty years old.

Warner has Fun With Story

Omaha, May 1S.-United States Mar,
shall Warner had number of callers
Monday. They voiced their surprise
and also their congratulations over the
announcement that he had entered the
gubernatorial race.
The marshal had little to say about
his candidacy, neither affirming nor
denying it. He said it was more fun
distributing the patronage than being
a candidate, and he had an office to
hand to every conner. Up to noon he
had handed out 200 jobs as colonies
on his staff, his only care being to
exact a promise from the appointee
that he would not resign. Some OF
them assured him that he would have
more cause to resign on their account
than they would have on account OF
him.
