that is this, that We with our lives are

afterward, when he went away from

In reply, the duke wrote:
Il do love and adore you with all

to express with what a heavy heart I

Just before the duke left England

sorry for her anger and wrote him a

which he answered.:

GREAT LOVE STORIES
OF. HISTORY c.
Marlborough and Sarah Jennings
By ALBERT PAYSON TERIIUNE
Copyright by tina Author.)

A poor English girl married an
equally poor man in 1878. Their only
wealth consisted of youth, brains, good
looks, boundless ambition and COM
Portable lack of conscience. Also,
though their marriage was largely
based on the principles of business
partnership and hopes of self-advance-
ment, they were overwhelmingly in
love with each other. With the aforse-
said qualities as their sole stock in
trade they rose rapidly to a height of
fame, wealth and power that made
them the envy of all Europe. The
girl was Sarah jennings, daughter of
an impoverished country gentleman.
The young Englishman she married
was Jack Churchill, needy but rising
officer in the army of Charles II.

of British sovereigns, was beheaded

Samuel Johnson and Mrs. Porter

A tall, bony, hideously homely
young man Of rs and short, fat
painted and powdered woman of 46
were riding from Birmingham to
Derby, England, one day in 1875, to
be married. The woman first COM
planned that her escort rode too fast.
Then, when he checked his hore's
speed. she rode ahead, calling back to
him that he was riding too slowly
Il am not to be made the slave of
your caprices!' roared the bride
groom wrathfully. He set spurs to
his horse and galloped out of sight
around turn in the highway. The
woman, weeping, caught up with him
at last, only to receive sound scold-
ing and warning that her future hus-
band was not one of those story-book
SWANS whose love thrives on i'll treat
ment. After which the sobbing bride
and scowling bridegroom rode on,
side by side, to the church in Derby,
where their wedding was to occur.
1t was an odd beginning to married
life and promised scant happiness for
either of the two. Yet their welded
years were more than ordinarily

Johnson is said to have been in love,
earlier, with one of her daughters.
Johnson was Wretchedly poor He
was dirty and sloyenly in dress and
had boorish manners. His experience
with poverty and with the ingrati-
tude and ridicule of his fellow men
embittered him and made him cynical
and cross. He failed in venture after

as his enemies. But. throughout, he
worshipped his elderly wife He was
blind to her ugliness, her bad temper
and the fact that she was 20 years
older than he. To him sheswas al
ways beautiful. The paint that she
plastered half an inch thick on her
cheeks he regarded as the soft blush
of youth. When she was over SO he
wrote her letter beginning MY dear
girl!'' and in the same epistle called
her MY charming love!"
The couple went to London. There,
fer years, they nearly starved. John
son bent his mighty intellect to meni-
al literary tasks to keep them alive.
Little by little he won fame as
writer England rang with praises of
his essays and books. Yet the criti-
cism he priced above all and the
praise that most delighted him was
hi; wife's. Two persons with such
tempers could not live without dis
putes. Some one once asked Johnson
II he and his wife ever quarreled.
Johnson sized up their marital situa-
ton by answering the query in one
word:
"Perpetually!"
He grew enormously fat. His face
was twisted and SCARED by scrof-
ula. His linen was dirty and his
clothes unkempt. Yet, to the last, his

them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. It
started in small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back

Increased Price of Elk Teeth

their value, and you can buy them
from a regular dealer cheaper now

of the elk and the great demand made
by the members Of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
