Virginian Says That After Fifty 1t Is
COmpanionsIlip Agreement.

Washington. Sept. Matrimony
is purely a business matter after a man
reaches fifty and a benedict a that age
always gets bumped on the rocks when
he ina gines he is in love"
This sage observation came from
Frederick Greenwood, 10 years old. of
Norfolk Va, who after becoming the
husband of Mrs. Rena F. CrowelI,
comely widow of northern Virginia,
told dozen or more court clerks and
newspa per men about him of the diff

esteem of a woman. Marriage after
fifty, Greenwood asserted, is merely a
companionship agreem ent.
1t was his second venture matri-
monially, his first wife having died.

ming Horse.

New York, Sept 29-In the days of
Widespread betting on horse races
throughout the United States, horses
rated by the talent at 100 to / or even
200 to 1 have occasionally won their
race. But record for a long shot
winner is believed by racing men here
to be established by the winning IN
Paris of the Prix du Rhone by La
Manche, an unknown horse which was
rated at 66S to 1. Adyices received hera
declare that a little known American
who had obtained the horse and train
ed him privately was behind the big
winning.
The pari mutuels machines used in
France pay the total amount of money
bet on all contesting horses to those
who have played the winner. Because
La Manche was comparatively an IN
known horse. nobody bet on him ex-
cept his owner When the race was
over, it was discovered that each hun
bred francs bet on La Manche had won
&c 100 francs.

Books She Fired.

ST Louis, Sept 29.-Kneeling in the
midst of a bonfire which she had made
of pages of religious books and maya
zines and saturated with coal oil by
her own hand, Mamie Mccarthy, IS
years old, slowly burned to death in
the rear of her home, No. 1922 Water
street, while she prayed. She died at
the city hospital an hour later.

inspiration. She apparently had wait

ry out her fanatical act. The Bible,
magazines and papers with which she
made the bonfire were taken from a
center table in the living room, where
she had been sewing.
