MARRIAGE ANNULLED FIVE
YEARS AGO, COUPLE REVIVED

PoUGHKEEPsIE, Aug. 1.-"You
married? Married for love? You
babies! You don't know what love IS!
I'll show you about this marriage!"
Five years ago the father of Howard
Dedrick, then 16 years old, vented his
anger and scorn as quoted above upon
the son and upon May Olive Wright, of
the same age, when they told him they
had loved each other so much they had
run off and married.
The father made good his threat. He
Showed them. He had their marriage
annulled p~oste-haste.
For Howard and May, yesterday, with
added stature as well as added years,
came before him once more, confidently
this time, and the young nan said:
II have married May again. l love
her Just as / loved her always. I am
of age and she is of age. Nothing you
can do can ever separate us. Be angry
IL you want to. I can make my living
and intend to do So"
But there was another factor besides
the bride. There was "Son"-Howard
DERRICK. jr., aged Az years. "Son" was
born a few months after the annulling
of the first wedding, back in 1905, and
when that tie of his parents was sew
cred a sort of shadow was cast upon
him.
He was the child, merely, in the eyes
of the u~nknowing world, of May Olive
Wright. Now, his mother was again
Mrs. Howard DERRICK, and Son was
everything he should be.

wire she wrapped herself in a blanket,
placing the lighted globes beneath the
blanket and next to her flesh. This he

days and at the end of the third day
discovered that not only had she over

~Camp-meeting Rule by
Borough Government.
Especial to the Newark star.l

OCEAN GROVE. Aug. 1.-During the
founders day exercises In this place
late yesterday afternoon, the Rev. DR..
A. E. Ballard took occasion to rap the
boroughites, and to call them seces-
sionists.
He admitted that the number of peo-
pie who wish the community to have
a borough instead of a camp-meeting
form of government is increasing each
year, but declared that the boroughites
are not like the patriots of the Revolu-
ton. but like the bushwhackinE
patriots In the Civil War.
The aged minister said that the agi-
tation for borough government was
devilish and that 1t is causing the
camp-meeting association a great deal
of trouble.

AssUAN, Egypt.


Dear Bill:
The Egyptian barber is a Wonder.
We saw one yesterday operating on a
customer. They were both seated on
the ground and the only tools in evil
dence were a bucket of water and the
razor. The barber never took his eyes
off us, but kept shaving regardless of
the danger Of looping off an ear of his
customer. Both barber and customer
asked for "Bucksheesh."
Shop-keepers and vendors of all de-
scriptions over here have a peculiar
custom of asking about ten times the
value of an article. and they always
expect the customer to wrangle and
bargain over the price.

ability to keep his eyes open the mo-
menth he applied them to books of an
evening after work. Since boyhOOd
he had contributed to the support of
a family Of seven, and now at the age
of twenty-four he desired to take up
shorthand and to carry Il correspond
ence course or two. If by hook or by
crook he did manage &c work until
eleven or twelve O'Clock his mind
would be dull and heavy the next
day. At n time he was so i'll adj
viSed as to try drinking strong tea for
supper. Tea kept his eyes open all
right, but headaches began to mani
fest themselves, and sleeplessness and
other symptoms of nervousness put in
appearance. The young mar dropped
the tea, and the headaches and nerv-
BUSINESS disappeared almost immedi-
ately, but evening work was still i'm
possible. The writer suggested to
him that he discontinue his suppers,
eating at most an apple or other fresh
fruit, or perhaps a small bowl of GER
cal flakes with the juice of a stewed
fruit. He adopted the suggestion,
adding to it n of his own devising-
that he be careful at all meals to
choose only the digeStible fOOdS-and

it can if you are willing to deny your

Manager Tn. GundersOn of the Re
lott Orphan Home is back from a trip
out to Butte county where he went to
assist EnOch Erickson il finding a
coed homestead. Mr.. GundersOn said
that Enoch was the first boy taken
into the Beioit Home, and this event
took place September =, 1890. Enoch
was educated in the Home and grew
to manhood there, becoming head
farmer under Mr.. GundersOn'S charge,
and now the young nan has filed on a
homestead in Butte county, about 20
miles north of Newell. EnOch was
accompanied by a young mar who bad
been working at the Home. Mr.. Gun
derson feels quite proud of the event
because his first boy charge has now
gone into business for himself and
Mr.. Gunderson has been as good as a
father to him through all the years
he has been at the home.
