TWO wIFEs, BUT ALL HAPPY
Kansas Man Is Doubly Blessed,
But Family Will Not Be
Divided.

Pittsburg, Kas., May 25.-Pete1
G. Sharp of this city and his
two wives, Ann Catherine and
Louisa, settled in the Sharp cot
toge in the suburbs today, told
of their plans to live together as
a happy family. Ann Catherine,
TIE first Mrs. Sharp, returned to
or husband yesterday after for
ty years of separation, during
which each had searched the en-
tire country for the other. Mr..
Sharp lost his wife in the con-
fusion which followed the Chi
Cago fire in 1871. Through the
pension roofs of the wal depart
ment she found him and came
hCre from her home in Oakland,
Cal. Nine years ago Sharp gave
up the search and married again.
eff I thought my coming
would displace Louisa I would
go back to my nursing the sick
in Oakland" said Ann Catherine
as the three sat together in the
garden today. "She has been
a good wife and married my hus-
band in good faith. This is her
home ana I shall bring her no
SORROW
Louisa held the wrinkled hand
of Mr.. Sharp in hers. She is fiji
ty years old. He is eighty-two
and Ann Catherine seventy-two.
Louisa leaned across her hus-
bands knees and patted Ann on
the cheek.
"You will bring me no sorrow,
my DEAR" she said tearfully.
"There is room in this house and
garden for 10th. I understand it
all"
Their common husband nodded
toward a vacant field across the
street and said: eff the women

SENATE STILL
AFTER LORIMER
NOW SENATOR LaFOLLETTE
WANTS COMMITTEE FROM
AMONG NEW SENATORS
INVESTIGATE.

Washington, May 20 After
deyoting practically the entire
session today to the discussion
of the proposed reinvestigation of
the election Of Senator Lorimer,
the senate adjourned without ac-
ton, determined to proceed again
with the question at its next sit
ting Monday, Senator La Toilette
concluded his four days speech
and announced that when the vot
ing stage is reached he will so
change his resolution as to pro-
vide that the senate shall elect
an investigating committee of five
from among the new senators.
Senator Borah supported the La
Toilette proposition and Senators
Bailey and Dillingham; opposed it.
Nh .LaFollette said he had been
influenced to introduce his resolu.
tion for a special committee on
inquiry by following the Illinois
Investigation New Investigators
had been provided for because he
believed that the question should
GO to a committee not handicap
ped by a previous decision.
Needs Peoples Confidence.
TheNpext investigating commit
tee, he felt, must have the con-
fidence of the people, which he
did not believe the old standing
committe on privileges and cleo
tions would have. The public, he
said, would consider the old com
mittee packed from the beginning
even as has been charged in con
nection with the Illinois juries in
prosecutions growing out of the
case.
Mr.. La Toilette said If he were
a member of the old committee h
would not consent to serve on
the new one because he would net
feel capable Of an impartial yer
diet. Mr.. Bailey said that all the
democratic senators desired a neg.
investigation, he himself favoring
it because of the discovery of nes
evidence. He said the public SEN
timent against Mr.. Lorimer was
rot well informed, because it had
been shaped by newspaper expires
sion rather than by reading of tn
testimony.
Saying there had been no in
vestigation by a special committe
on an election case since the crea-
ton of the committee on privi-
leges and elections in 1871, Chair
man Dillingham;, of that commit
tee, expressed confidence that if
the investigation should be placed
in its hands it would present such
a report as would command the
respect of the senate and of the
country.
Senator Borah advocated a
special committee on the interest
of disinteredness. lie regarded
representative government at
stake and urged a searching and
impartial inquiry.

SIX DOLLARS A WEEK.

III ~ blF'~IN1o 1Nf'
siderable attention of late to a
Brockton story which has just
ended happily, as of course all
real-life stories end. The hero
Of the tale is a boy of 10, whose
mother was sentenced to the
woman's prison at Sherborn,
some months ago, on the com
plant of a husband and father,
who having been accused of non
support and convicted of general
worthelssness, seems to have
thus avenged himself upon his
wife. When she was "sent a.
way the boy requested that,
sooner than the family be broken
up, he be permitted to provide
for his three littel sisters. The
Judge, on the advice Of the pro-
baton officer, consented to the
attempt, and the youthful head
of the family set out to "run
the house, on his wages of So
q week. Naturally so brave a
lad found friends, and probably
they supplemented his small earn
ings and helped him to look at
ter the younger children, one
of them an infant. Outside OF
Brockton other friends came for
ward-among these the COVER
nor's council, who apparently per-
suaded that the woman was no
grieyous offender, and that her
detention had lasted long enough,
yesterday pardoned her and re-
turned her to her little ones,
says the Boston Transcript. In
thsi connection one inyoluntarily
recalls the apothegm Of Henry
Ward Beecher, ga man can live,
love, laugh and be happy on a
dollar a day" an assertion that
provoked a roar of protest, the
echoes of which have not ceas-
ed to reverberate, but that has
not yet been successfully disput-
ed. The Brockton lad achieved
his ambition on less money, and,
though he must have forgone
luxuries and dropped his needs
10 the lowest notch, neither he
nor his seems to have suffered.
Not to emphasize this point of
the story, it's attractive feature
is the comparative Inexpensive
ness of keeping a family together,
provided the will to do SO shall
exist. It has become a truism,
of recent years, that the poorest
home is better than the best in
stitution. Instead Of herding
children in great asylums, they
are now offered for adoption or
at the worst assembled in cot
tages where there is hope that
they can have something like a
home. The problem of their
maintenance and future welfare
tends constantly to simplify, since
philanthropists have grasped this
principle of individual care. 1t
would be no problem at all if in
every forsaken family there were
several children, one of them with
the will and the courage to make
himself or herself the executive
read. In a case like that of the
fine lad at Brockton, everyone
who hears of it is glad and eager
to help.-Victor Murdoch.

WiLLED HIS WIFE
TO ANOTHER MAN

Chicago, ILL.,, May 20 VIII
you comply with the last request
of your dead husband and marry
Eli Pochucha, your husbands
best friend?" Mrs. Rosa Misko-
vich of South Chicago, who was
strangely willed to Poehueha by
Miskovich, was asked.
The widow, who is about 30
years of age and is undeniably
attractive, blushed as she re-
piled:
q do not know what my hus-
band meant by making such an
absurd request in his farewell
note. (Miskovich committed sui
eide in his saloon last week. Eli
and | are good friends. But not
a word of love ever has been
spoken by either of us, and | do
not know that there ever will
be-
"But you are not sure?'
"No one is ever sure of any
thing" was the enigmatical re-
Spouse of the widow.
The wording and the punctua-
ton of Miskovich's farewell note
was peculiar. Here it is.
"My wife can marry Eli Pochu
cha if he wants her?!!o
Now the members of the Ser
Wan colony in South Chicago are
asking these questions:
"Was it really a high regard
for his friend that caused Misko-
vich to pen these words?' or
"Was it jealousy of the pretty
woman and the well built, good
looking Pochucha, who is known
as the Adonis of the Servian col
ony in South Chicago?"
Pochucha was a boarder in the
Miskovich household almost from
the time that he came to Chicago
from his native land; he is still
a boarder there. Miskovich VISA
well off; so is Pochucha.
"I think q great deal of Ro-
sa," said Pochucha. But love
that is another thing, She is
my friend. I cannot understand
how Stephen came to write such
a note. lie had no cause to be
jealous of me-"
"My husband was the best
man in the world" said the wild
ow. Gle treated me always like
a child; there was nothing he
would not do for me. He must
have been crazy to write such a
note"
Miskovich lived in South Chi
cago for some years. 1t was a
little over four years ago that
Mrs. Miskovich arrived there.
She was not Mrs. Miskovich then.
1t is said she was a sweetheart
of Miskovich in Servia, and that
he sent for her to come to the
United States and become his
wife.
There are those among the Ser
VANS who say that Pochucha
came from the same part of Ser
via that the Miskoviches did, and
there are. whispers of some kind
of an attachment between the
widow and Pochucha that may
have existed prior to her mar
riage to Miskovich.
This, however, is denied by
both of them.
The Servian colony is watching
the sequel that is to be written
to the note Of the man who will
ed his wife to another man.
