FRANKS or CUPID.
Celebrated Men Who Married Their
domestic Servanta.

Many celebrated men have married
Parkes, premier of New South Wales,
Is an example. One night when dining
at friends house he was struck by
the appearance of servant girl who
waited upon the table and persuaded
his host to allow her to enter his em.
ploy. This she did and for short
time held the position of cook in Sir
Henry's household Then he made her
Lady Parkes.
But more illustrious than this Is the
case of Peter the Great. One day he
was dining ut the house of Prince Men
shikoff. He noticed one of the servant
maids particularly, and, though she
was not handsome, she caught his fam
cy. Her name, the prince told the
czar, was Martha. She had been a
servant In the house of Lutheran
minister of Marenburg, and when that
city was captured by the troops Of
Russia she had been taken prisoner
by General Bauer, who had passed
her over to the prince, whose servant
she was, The count politely made a
present of her to the czar, who even
tually married her.
William Cobbett, the great writer,
when he was only twenty-one years of
age, one morning CHANGED to see bux-
ON servant girl busily engaged in
washing the family linen. The girl
was pretty, so Cobbett spoke to her,
learned her name and the same even
ing called upon her parents and said
he would like to marry their daughter.
The parents of the girl informed the
young man that they had no objec-
tions to him as their son-in-law, but
that he would have to wait until their
daughter was of marriageable age.
Five years later Cobbett, true to his
early love, married her,

Emmst's Presence of Mind.

A story is told of Robert Emmett
which proves his secretive power and
resolution. He was fond of studying
chemistry, and one night late, after
the family had gone to bed, he swal-
lowed a large quantity of corrosive
sublimate in mistake for some acid
cooling powder, He Immediately dis
covered his mistake and knew that
death must shortly ensue unless he in.
stantly swallowed the only antdote,
chalk. Timid men would have torn at
the bell, reused all the family and sent
for stomach pump. Emmet called no
one, made no noise, but, stealing down
stairs and unlocking the front door,
went into the stable, seraped some
chalk which he knew TO be there and
took sufficient doses of it to neutralize
the poison.

A VERY PLEASANT HOME.
All Because Of the Way He Solved the
Closet Space Problem.

must tell all my brothers how my
wife and | have solved the problem
which so bothers those who dwell
where there Is but little closet room.
With one dressing case between VS..
there was not room for all our things.
AS to the closets, they were crammed
full. and even under the bed there
were many hat boxes. So purchased
another dressing case.
taen took all my clothes. which
had been crowding my wife's in her
dressing case, and arranged them In
my own. In the top drawer l put my
nandkerchiefs, collars and ties and
all those other little articles of fnery
which every man loves so much. In
the second drawer placed my shirts
and underwear and devoted the lower
drawer to my trousers. neatly folded,
ana my hosiery. My wife was de-
lighted. as 1t gave her her own dresser
somewhat
But in day or so the new plan
proved TO have few defects, so at my
wife's suggestion I emptied one of the
upper drawers In my dresser. putting
its contents into the other and allowed
my wife to use the now vacant recep'
tacle for few of her jabots, scarfs,
etc The second day 1t was decided
that my shirts and trousers could oc-
cupy tne same drawer, the lowest one,
so this was fixed. and into the second
drawer my wife moved few of her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that | was still using
too much space. permitted her to put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers, etc.,
thus giving her both of the upper
drawers and the next and still leav-
ing me plenty of room in the one bot
tom drawer
Since then. however, have found
that | do not require so much space
for my few things. so have taken them
out of the bottom drawer and packed
them into hat box, which keep
under the bed. thereby giving my
wife all the drawers In my dressing
case find the present arrangement
very satisfactory. as all l have to do
now Is to empty the hat box on the
bed when want anything in it and
then, when | have made my selection
sweep the other articles back into
place.
In this way / have solved the dress
ing case problem. and everything is
quite pleasant in our home.-Paul West

A Mirror Preoaution.

Many persons do not know that sun
shine is destructive to mirrors and pro-
duces that milky appearance which
cannot be got rid of. When mirror
is being washed the water should not
be allowed TO get close to the edges.
for often It will leak under, giving a
notified effect and running the glass.
Hand mirrors should be placed where
the sun will not strike them, and the
cleaning pastes that they are polished
with should not be too moist, for there
are often tiny spaces that will admit
a liquid, and after this happens the
mirrors usefulness win soon come TO
an end.

merce Act--Circult Judges Must
Affirm Findings Before Effective.
st. Paul, Sept 22.-Judge E. Otis.
MS master, dealt a body blow to all
railroad rate Legislation passed by
the state legislature in the past sew
eral years when he declared that rate
reductions ordered are confiscatory
and, therefore, unconstitutional. The
railroads are also enjoined by the de-
cision from keeping the rates in ef-
feet In the state.
The 2-cent passenger rate and the
recent reduction of freight rates in
all commodity lines must now be in
creased to the old figures prevailing
before the beginning of the state rail-
road and warehouse commissions at
tempts to reduce them
The decision holds that any at
tempt on the part of the railroad
commission to adjust rates is dis
elimination against the regulation of
interstate commerce and is therefore
unconstitutional. The effect OF this
decision is apparently wide enough

Declared Unconstitutional.
The main feature OF the decision 10
its reference to the unconstitutional
ity OF the laws and orders, of which
there are nine.
The cases have occupied the time
OF Judge Otis for two years. The
findings are not final, In that they
are not the rulings of the circuit

The decision is, in effect, a recon

has the power to reverse or refuse tc
