hurriedly at all"
The wedding of the young woman
whose salvation of West Hammond
from a political ring gave her the
name of Joan Of Arc, was married in
Chicago, April 3, 1913. Some time af-
ter ner marriage Mrs. Washburne
took up chautamqua work and lyceun
work, but it was not long before she
gave this up. When her baby was
born, early last January, it was men
toned as the Sis 900 baby, because
her mother said it had cost ier all Of
that She had been offered a contract
for 80 weeks at 5000 week, but she
refused it because she wanted to have

a woman. Mrs. Washburne also has
considerable fame as writer, being
the author of tle book and the play,
"The Little Lost Sister,"

Mrs. Washburne last night. "But it
was case of incompatibility and
there was nothing else for us to do.
We both realized that there was no
Otner way out"

other Mexicans today was obtainable
as the posses were careful not to give
