CANDY WINS BRIDE.

Newark, May 2S.-How Thomas L.
O'Connor won a wealthy widow of At
lantic City and $4,000 hotel after he
had given an IS box of candy to her
came to light in the court of chancery
today when an application was made
for an order directing O'Connor to
provide for the support of Eliza
'O'Connor, who lives in Brooklyn, pend
ing suit for separte maintenance.
When O'Connor bought the candy a
year ago last month he left the sales
slip in his pocket, where Mrs. Eliza
O'Connor, his common law wife of
twenty years, who was then living
with him, found it and suspected some
one else had won his affections.
In her affidavit the petitioner as
serts that in November last year she
received a letter from O'Connor re-
questing her to come to Atlantic City.
She did, and after spending a few days
with OConnor at the hotel she re-
turned to her home in Brooklyn. She
went to Atlantic City again at the de-
PENDANTS invitation in January and on
this occasion she heard one of the
bellboys call out to another:
Say, the boss's wife wants to see
him."
Then for the first time since finding
the sales slip for the box of candy
she realized that the suspicion she
had was true. She had an interview
with the Atlantic City Mrs. O'Connor,
and left for Brooklyn, consulted Ed
ward R. McGlynn, and started pro
ceedings against O'Connor.
When O'Connor heard of the suit he
told his counsel, Clarence l.. Cole, Jr.,
of Atlantic City, who wrote to Vice
Chancellor Emery to the effect that
OConnor was not the woman's hus-
band and inclosed an affidavit by
O'Connor in which the latter swore
he was never the husband of Eliza
O'COnnor and never agreed to live
with her as husband and wife, and
that while it was true they lived to-
gether in Brooklyn as stated in the
bill of complaint, their relations were
always meretricious and not matri-
monial"
In her affidavit Mrs. O'Connor al
leges that on May 80, 1894, the defen-
dant contracted a common law mar
riage with her. She said his excuse
was that a difference in religion pre-
vented ceremonial marriage, but
that if she would become a member
of his church he would have the cere-
mony performed.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
THE RAINBOW JEWELS.

Once upon a time, when there were
no real people in the world, the only
inhabitants were giants and dwarfs.
But up in the blue sky above lived the
busy cloud fairies in castles like huge
forts of snow. Every evening at sun
set they would paint the edge of the
sky in hundreds of glowing colors till
the purple and gold and ruby tints
would light up the whole earth.
The little dwarfs lived in one cor
ner of the land in a country all their
own, and thought it very beautiful to
watch the sky being painted and the
soft light creeping over the country.
But the giants, who owned another
part of the world, were mean, and
do things that they could not do them
selves. These giants were as tall as
church steeple, had green faces and
rode on huge dragons that breathed
fire and birthstone So the dwarfs
were very much afraid of these big
men, who would sometimes take de-
light in tramping down the tiny
homes-that is, every time a giant
took notion to go on a tour around
the earth.
One day, after rain, the queen of
the cloud fairies coasted down the
rainbow to visit the dwarfs, and as
they sat drinking tea together the
king of the little men told the fairy
some news. 1t was that the giants
WerS making a plan to scale the
clOudland castle and steal the paints
with which the fairies tinted the sky
each evening.
They intend to march up by way
of the rainbow" said the dwarf" and
can hear them coming now. Look"
And, sure enough, over the top of the
far-off mountains the fairy saw
vast host of huge men with green
faces, riding ON dragons whose breath
filled the heavens with smoke and fire.
The fairy sprang up and handed the
dwarf wand. 81 will fly home at
once she said, land we will be ready
to receive the enemy. But my plan is
this: When the rainbow bridge is full
of giants | will wave my wand to YOU
Now, you must push the end of the
bow that rests on the earth and that
will upset the bridge, and the giants
will fall" And the little fairy flew
away on a ray Of fight to her castle
in the clouds, just where the rainbow
ended.
Then the queen of the fairies sent
for all her people and they stood in
ranks of cleaning gold and scarlet on
the walls of the snowy cloud castle.
While up along the vast rainbow
bridge that stretched from earth to
SKY came the host OF giants, their
dragons shining in the sun and filing
the clouds with smoke and darkness.
But the fairies were not afraid.
They knew that the queen had hidden
the paint-pot deep in the dungeon and
that she would find way to get rid
of the giants. So they shook their
tiny spears and clashed their little
golden shields till the tinkle sounded
to the dwarfs below like the Ginning
of tiny, silver bells. Presently the
biggest giant rode almost to the gate
Then the queen waved her wand to
the dwarf on earth below, and he

ASS an easy matter to preach plati-
ludes when we sit comfortably back
and view the havoc wrought in the
lives of others by some terrible disas-
ter, by devastating warfare or by some
great trouble that no one can relieve
But to accept these platitudes and
take consolation from them is a very
different affair.
Trying to help others is the only
thing left to me-" said woman who
has just lost her husband and two sons
in the war. "Just at first it seemed
that there was absolutely nothing left!
l felt that my life was smashed to
atoms, that everything had been taken
from me at one blow, Then some
thing-I'm not sure what-made me
see how wrong it was to adopt that
attitude. 1t made me realize that,
though I've lost all that | most care
for in life, there are still many things
left-and I'm trying to gather up the
fragments"
The more | think of her words the
more does their wisdom strike me.
Yet this gathering up of the frag-
ments is a very, very hard matter.

We break the glass, whose sacred wine
To some beloved health we drain,
Lest future pledges, less divine,
Should eer the hallowed toy profane
And thus | broke heart that poured
It's tide of feelings out for thee,
In draught, but after-times deplored,
Yet dear to memory.
And still, the old, impassioned ways
And habits of my mind remain,
And still unhappy light displays
Thine image chambered in my brain
And still it looks as when the hours
Went by like flights of singing birds
Or that soft chain of spoken flowers,
And airy gems-thy words.
