LEAVES HOSPITAL TO
FIND WIFE MARRIED

Mount Holly. n. j., October 2e-
Clarence Fields. who discovered after
being released from the Burlington
County Hospital. where he had been Ill
for three months. that his Wife had
been married TO Walter S Gray at
Riverside. on September IL, stated
that he will let the case drop without
prosecution for bigamy IL he can be
legally separated from the woman.
On the other hand. is the excuse OF
the woman. that II was not until he
wanted her to live entirely on love
that she decided to leave Fields and
seek more substantial source for
something TO eat.
II now appears that the present Mrs
Gray has been married three times
Her maiden name was Florence Anna
Sherman. and her nrst husband was
Alley Horner. OF Beverly. from whom
she was divorced, but not until last
February. year and half after she
had married Fields She has two
chiidren-a boy OF fourteen and a girl
of twelve years.
The woman's latest ma rriage is the
second time that she has separated
herself from Fields, having left him
once when they lived at this place.
She remained away quite while be-
fore there was reconciliation. In
the absence of her first divorce II is
question whether her marriage to
Fields was not illegal.

New Orleans, La. October 29.-With

Among the distinguished represent

howl from the cotton manufacturers
next season when they awake to the
fact that the South's cotton lands
have been turned over to the produc.
tion Of corn and other crops. The
farmer cannot produce cotton for the
present price. and those who are
forced to sell at such figures are not
going to commit financial suicide by
raising cotton next year.
las a matter of fact the farmers
of South Carolina are fast realizing
that therd Is more money to be made
in growing corn and foodstuffs than in
raising cotton. II the cotton manipu-
lators keep cotton down to the pres

ST. ANTHONY FALLS
The 2a1st Anniversary Of Discovery
Occurred Monday.

July 3rd was the 231st anniversary
of the discovery of the historic Falls of
st. Anthony. How many Minneapolis
people thought to visit the scene
where the venerable Franciscan mis-
sionary stood nearly two and a half
centuries ago? Not many, it is true,
though today there is no difficulty in
getting to the historic spot
In Father Hennepin's time it was
not so. When he and his two com
panions were journeying up the river
they fell into the hands of a band of
warrior Indians who took them as far
as the site of the present city of st.
Paul and thence overland to the viii
lage of the Isanti tribe in the region
of Mile Lacs Here they were held in
captivity for about a month when they
were allowed to take their leave. On
July 8, 1880, they came in sight of the
famous falls which the venerable mis-
sionary named for St. Anthony.

THE PEN AND THE SWORD.

AS we write the chimes in the court
house tower, in the shadow of which
we sit, are filing the air with Moore's
beautiful Old melody. The Last Rose
of Summer" The first thought that
comes is the truth of the old saying,
The pen is mightier than the sword"
Robert Emmett was true patriot and
loved of every Irishman, but how often
are we reminded of Emmets devotion
and valor? Not very often in our daily
round Of duties. And when we do
think of him it is often because the
thought is suggested by the words of
the poet. She is far from the land
will ever bring back to memory the
deeds Of the Irish patriot but again it
is the pen of the Irish poet that we
must thank for recalling the thought
Every 1rishnan within hearing of the
chimes that are now ringing will pause
as he feels sensation in his breast
a smile of satisfaction. though ever so
brief will light up his countenance as
he listens with wrapt attention to the
strains of '"l'he Last Rose OF Sum-
mer" and recalls the memory Of his
country's we'll loved bard. Moore has
passed away but it is he that is in
spring the sweet strains that are be-
ing waited from our old court house
tower far from the land where he
wrote and the time when he lived. The
pen is mighty without the sword but
the sword is nuught without the pen.
