 They have been honeymooning since Oct. 29, but Washington and Fairmont w. Va, the brides home just learned of it, today. Mss Malone attended the fashionable Mt. Vernon seminary.

Stories on Doctors.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle told several good stories of old fashioned practi- tioners he knew. There was one man. he said. who never used to wash out the half emptied bottles returned to him, but emptied them into one huge jar. from which he dispensed this mix ture of medicines to his more obscure patients. 'It is like grapeshot." he said; lone of them is sure to hit There was another man who used to say, When my patients are alive I don't know what is the matter with them and when they die>I don't know whether they are dead" That was like tho medical man who said to a lady whose husband he had been at tending, Madam. have very strong belief that your husband is dead. but if it Is your wish have no objection to consultation"

Eieldind at Lisbon.

Lisbon contains the grave of Henry Fielding. It was on Oct. 4, 1I54. that Fielding died in the Portuguese cap ital. and it was in 1880 that his tomb was erected in the English cemetery. And Fielding didn't like Lisbon. ''As the houses. convents. churches. etc.. are large" he wrote. 'and all built with white stone, they look beautiful at a distance. but as you approach nearer and find them to want every kind of ornament all idea of beauty yanishes at once.' At that time a voyage to Lisbon was an undertaking not lightly to be contemplated. It took Fielding exactly fifty days of foul weather.-St. James Gazette.

WARRANTS GET
 JAIL SENTENCES

Andrew Huda. one of the hobo camp frequenters arrested on the Alexander Leverty farm. Wednesday, was sen- fenced to jail for 20 days as vagrant, in the city court today. and John Kar- will be arraigned on a charge growing out of his having made his home upon the property of another. Karoski raised the point in his own defence that he could not be convicted of be- ing a vagrant for he worked almost nightly as freight handler.
 Among the depredations in the vicin- ity of the hobo camp. one of the worst was that at the home of Horace G. Scof1eld, former city engineer, at 677 Boston avenue. Here three prize geese, two pheaSants. and several other fowl were slaughtered and only a small portion of the dead creatures carried away. This occurred on Monday night

The Battle of a Week.

The battle of week was the great conflict at Tours in which Charles Martel overthrow the Saracens. A. D. 732. The members of the Saracen army are variously estimated at from 100000 to 100000. and the historians say that 375.OO0 were killed on the field.

If you simply cannot help criticising at least be careful in selecting your victim.

The Boys and the Sand Pile.

There was once a boy who had moth
ing to play with but some sticks and
some bricks and a pile of sand. He
lived In a little house next door to the
big house where there was q boy with
toys Of every sort. The poor boy used
to play In his yard and look over into
the iron fenced garden next door,
where the rich boy had all the toys.
and the poor boy wished that he had a
few. The rich boy did not care much
what happened to the toys. He used
to throw them about and then sit down
on the grass and look at the boy with
the sand pile.
One day the rich boy got up from the
grass where he had been sitting, look
ing through the fence at the other boy.
He filed his arms full Of toys and
walked " to the fence. He threw
the p%laythings into the poor boys yard,
and then he climbed up the fence and
down the other side, tearing his clothes
as he went. He did not care. He gave
all his toys to the other boy and went
to play in the sand pile. Ten minutes
later the ~playthings he had brought
were lying unnoticed In the grass and
both boys were hard at work In the
sand, making a country that was more
wonderful than any country ever made
before. That was because 1t was their

us into his wider and calmer and
higher world.
Whether it be biography, introduc-

be running off and at other times
she was badly co~nstipated. The doc

kidneys and bowels were all badly

Prince Becomes Hotel Keeper.

Prince Henry XIV. of Pless and his
wife have evolved a plan by which
they can make money and at the same
time entertain as lavishly as any other
members Of the nobility in Europe.
Their entertainment practically will be
no extra cost to them and at the same
time will yield them a certain amount
of advertising. The princess Is con-
sidered one of the most beautiful wom-
en- in Europe. Prince Henry and his
wife have built a hotel on the ances-
trail estate in Salsbrunn, Prussian Sile-
STA, which promises to become a rival
of Carlsbad. The prince Is one of the
richest noblemen In Europe. His wife
was Marie Theresa Olivia, daughter of
Colonel w. CORVALLIS West and elder
sister Of the Duchess of Westminster,
England. They were married In 1891.
The couple mean to live 10 the new
hotel in the fashionable season of the
year and to entertain their friends
there. They have spent a tremendous
amount Of money on the project, and
their position naturally will attract
hundreds of wealthy guests.
