She went to party while she was still
under age. She was introduced to a
youth who called himself Vincent Day.
They eloped and were married that
evening. Mildred learned that her new
husband was Vincenzio Micari, her
fathers chauffeur. She went home to
papa, and the marriage was annuled by
Justice Greenbaum, Previously Mil
dred had run away four times. She
has run away again since her marriage
was dissolved. 1t was Mildred's case
that made Justice Greenbaum stand
aghast at the strange flaw in the law
The boy and girl, he said, had clearly
had "trial marriage" and the law
could do nothing but legalize the af.
fair.

Bonds
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Of 'sAt Good Old SiWash.7

A BOND is a quiet, handsome piece
n of paper which costs $1,000, and
L \ can earn as much in a year as a
bright boy.
"A bond consists of a preamble which
no one can read because the type is set
so closely, and a tail consisting of a large
number Of coupons. These coupons are
dated. Whenever the date on a coupon
arrives, the owner can take a sharp pair
of scissors and chop $1,000 OF $4,000 out
of his bond. 1t is as easy as cutting a
recipe out Of a newspaper. Many a man
who isn't talented enough to talk to a
book agent sits down every six months
with a pile OF bonds and a pair of sharp
scissors and earves out a few thousand
dollars while he Is smoking half a cigaret
Bonds are issued by companies or
cities which need the money and the
coupons represent interest. When
coupon becomes due and the company
has no money with which to pay the in
terest, the man who owns the coupon
gives a loud shrek and runs around in
circles until confidence has been restored
and the receivers have done their duty.
Nothing is so vexatious as to clip a
coupon whicbvought to be worth $50 and

BROUGHT HOME HIS DUCKS
Early Day Method Of Catching the
Birds In Great Numbers That
Was Popular In Maine.

A duck drive is what they called a
novel way the early settlers took to
capture the ducks that were plentiful
In the early settlement of Maine.
For a few days in August the birds
could not fly, as they were shedding
their feathers. The time was well
known to the Inhabitants Of all the
towns about Deer Isle and those who
could come did not fail to be present.
First circle Of boats was formed SO
as to partially surround them and
others were stationed SO as to prevent
the birds taking a wrong direction.
Duck Harbor was the place selected
to drive them into, it being narrow
and extending half a mile inland. Be
ginning at the upper of the bay the
boats were drawn in for several miles.
AS this went on more birds were over
taken and as they reached their des-
tination a large number were includ-
ed in the drive.
Reaching the shore at the head OF
the harbor the ducks not being able
to run much were overtaken and
killed in large numbers. At one time
a large drive was made and the birds
attempted to walk through the woods
to the other shore, but being unable
to walk died in large numbers. This
was the last big drive that was made.
Birds that escape a great danger
avoid the. same locality.-Lewiston

BROUGHT NERVE TO RESCUE
Experienced River Man Took the
One Chance That Was Left Him
and Saved Life.

The day the ice started to move
there was jam just above Athabas-
ca landing, writes q Canadian corre-
spondent to the London Telegraph,
and as the mail for Peace river starts
from the opposite bank, the postmas-
ter hunted up a man who was willing
to take it across in boat through the
clear water below the ice. Every one
in town turned out to see him cross
the river, but no one offered to go
with him.
was calking on boat No. at the
time, and l watched him start. First
he had to cross about two hundred
feet of rotten ice, dragging his punt
along after him, launch the boat into
the clear water, row across, and go
over as much soft ice on the other
side. He was halfway across the
open water when the whole river
seemed to stand on end-in plain
words, the jam broke. Strange to
say, the boatman did not at first no
tice it, for the ice against the bank
was grinding and clashing all the
time; but man on shore fired gun,
and everybody pointed and waved up
stream.
The boatman never lost his nerve;
he rested on his oars for moment,
glanced round, and turned the boat up
stream. Slowly at first, but soon
gathering speed, he sent his frail
craft hard at the ice. The boat hit
the ice squarely. and ran up it. 1t
was his only chance, for if the mass
had caught the boat sidewise, 1t would
have smashed it like an egg-shell.
Hanging to the punt, dragging 1t
from one piece Of ice to another. jump
ing some pretty wide gaps once or
twice, and sometimes hauling the
craft after him with the short line, he
struggled on.
1t was the bravest thing ever saw
in my life, but don't want to see it
done again. On both banks the peo-
pie stood helpless; they could do
nothing except watch, and some could
not do that
Finally the intrepid boatman reach
ed the shore, and, needless to relate,
he did not try to come back that day.
