LETTER SIX YEARS LATE.
Girls Acceptance Of Proposal Goes
Astray and Each WEEDS Another.

S*@NcJ GIN EuGH WGdo fAUotHEts
Morgantown. w. Va. Jan. 19.--Be-
cause OF the snail-like manner in
which Uncle Sam sometimes delivers
mail, Mrs. James Wormser Is not the
wife of Cecil G. Morris, both having
married since that day six years ago
when the present Mrs. Wormser wrote
letter from her home at Webster
Springs and accepted the proposal OF
Norris, who resided at Rivesville. The
letter was six years travelling 200
miles, and when 1t finally reached
Morris 1t was too late. The letter was
mailed in 1906. 1t reached Rivesville
Morris's former home two days after
1t was mailed, as the postmark shows.
Where the letter has been all these
years cannot be ascertailed.
Supposing the failure of the woman
TO answer was rejection of his pro-
posal, Morris married another. The
woman, believing he had changed his
mind after receiving her acceptance,
also married another.

HIGHEST PRICE EVER RECORDED,
Price OF Butter Reaches SO Cents n
Pound In New York


New York, N. r.. Jan. ls.--Thts
wholesale price of butter in News
York went to Az cents pound; the
highest price reported In eight years.
and some retailers were asking e.
cents, with only limited supplies OF
the best quality to be had at either
price There Is great uncertainty i'm
regard to the supply ahead, but IL iss
generally predicted by dealers here
that before the week Is out, the high
price OF butter In this country win be
attained.
The rise IL ascribed to the new
Bremen law In this state, which pro-
hibits the keeping of butter for more
than year; to the anti-cold storage
Legislation Of other states, and to the.
severe drought OF last summer
