again, Sir Henry Westwood

Since the triple-named charm
er started his career he has mar
ried on two continents. A little
trip of 5000 miles to fresh mar
riage meant nothing to him. That
is, nothing except more money,
for he was mercenary, and only
married ladies who had a large
dot.
The last marriage was con-
tracted Friday morning, and the
police learned that an hour after
ward he and his wife started for
the north. He obtained the
money for the trip from Mrs.
Herman Hillbrath, his mother-in-
law, who thought he was going
away to claim large estate. The
police have about given up hope
of catching hini,1fer aman who
can borrow money from his moth
er-in-law is pretty slick. H..
His entry into the marital
stakes was first chalked. up in
1895 in Sydney, Australia. A
year later. he married again, and
in 1897 his third wedding was
celebrated in Toronto, Canada.
Then he skipped four years, but
broke mot the game again in
1901 at Crockett, Cal. Just to
show how versatile he was, he
married No. 5 in 1908 in the San
Francisco county Jail.
In between getting married the
bigamist has served several terms
in different prisons for obtaining
money under false pretenses and
forgery. The length of time he
stayed married to one woman de-

rally fond of drawing and painting and

been student at the Heron Art
school for about nine months. His
crayon and oil sketches, however. bear
the mark of finished painter.
Being directed by experienced teach
ers who are deeply interested in his
promising career. young Franklin has
devoted the greater part of his time
to portrait painting in oil from life
since he commenced his studies at the
institute.
While the various professions seem
to be crowded with workers. MIR. Frank
lin believes In the survival of the ut
test and that there Is plenty of room

persistent With these necessary es.
sentials to success, coupled with his

Just because the 1lth infantry
broke even with the ninth bunch in

boys thought that they had a better
team than the colored lads. The dough

five games. The cavalry lads accepted.
The sand-fiddlers thought that il they
should win the cup that sentiment
would favor them as being the real

by winning the cup in the same easy
way that they won the championship.
