HUSBAND BOUGHT FOR $500

The open purchase Of a husband
by a beautiful Austrian woman caused
a sensation in Washington the 9th
er week. Miss Eugenia Adams having
inherited a fortune on condition that
she marry, and not having a desirable
bridegroom in view, advertised in one
of the newspapers offering 5000 to
the man who would marry her and
leave her Immediately after the cere-
mony.
Forty needy Americans responded
to the advertisement, and Harvey
Brown, a stalwart Vermonter, with ex
cellent testimonials as to character,
was selected. They were married by
the magistrate, when both had signed
an agreement that afterwards neither
would attempt to see visit, modest,
or annoy" the other; and also that
neither would solicit any aid, money,
or other assistance from the other, or
to assert marital rights in
any way" Then they separated with
a hearty handshake. Brown-who had
never seen his bride until the hour be-
fore-apparently with some regret,
which the bride seemed to share.

ODD HAUL OF OYSTER TONGS.

Reports coming from the shoai
oyster rocks, in lower Wlcomico
county. Maryland, about the catches
that are being made down there, Will
send the season of 1910l9i1 down In
history as the most profitable since
the Civil war, besides being the most
freakish
A dredger cranked up n small iron
safe which was literally covered with
spats Clinging 10 the safe was a set
OF waffle irons and an ice skate. Tho
door OF the safe was gone. as well as
the inside work.
The greatest catch OF the season,
however, was that made by Capt Sam
Williams on the first day of dredging.
His crew cranked up the port dredge
full of oysters, and, dumping them out
deck, discovered among the oysters
a halfgallon jug of apple brandy the
seal intact and the contents ready for
use; a sealed bottle Of rye whisky,
mariners compass and a hunting case
gold watch, Of old English make.
jug, bottle, compass and watch were
covered with spats. The watch had
stopped at exactly ~ o'clock. There
were no initials or private marks on
either the outside or inside cases.
Captain Williams thinks that the COM
pass and watch can be repaired; and,
If 80, they will be numbered among
his curios, Of which he has valuable
collection.
As to the contents Of the jug and
bottle, Captain Williams said that
they not only held their own splendid
ly, but two Of the crew as well.

Young Age Pensions,

Young age pensions! Why not? IT,
ties, honors, riches, pensions and most
other good things are, as a rule, post
poned to a period Of life when the ca
pacity for enjoying them has been
blunted. Australia was one of tho
first countries to adopt old-age pen
sions, and now Labor member of the
commonwealth parliament proposes a
complementary scheme of young age
pensions. He would start by pension
ing the fourth child at birth. The fact
that three had previously been born
showed that the parents were doing
their duty and deserving well of the
state. The young age pension would
reward industry and encourage the
birth rate. London Chronicle.

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Parlshioner's Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat In
the Dark.

Rev. Henry R. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story Of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of a small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and a large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits Of
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command.
He was, however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli-
ment, but which was put to him in
such way that it left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy yaur
sermons so much, they are so IN
structive. Do you believe it, we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"
