Harry Gorham Farnum, young BUSH
ness man Of New York city, mas
claimed as his bride Miss Viola Evelyn
Trueman of Boston and thereby hangs
n story of q most unusual courtship,
for the bride was but seventeen years
old when she married, being chuDpy
child of FIVE years when Barnum nrst
proposed. At that time he was twenty
two years old and freshman at Cor
nell university.
The romance that persisted to cul-
mInation rarely attained OUTSIDE OF
story books had it's inception at Provi-
dence, r. L.: where the Trueman ana
Farnum families had homes IN close
proximity. The young mans father had
made fortune in the leather business
and during college vacation periods the
Junior Farnum spent the time ut nome.
There he first noted the little girl
happy with her dolls.
Wrote to Girl Through Mother.
He played with the little girl and
when he returned to college he wrote
her letters, through her mother, re-
counting his adventures and pranks I'm

fession, he was unable to get the baby
countenance out of his mind for min
ute. He attended dances, met the
eligible girls Of the college set, but his
mind constantly reverted to the little
tot Mt home. ..-a--
Three years after their initial meet
ing, when Viola was nine, her faithful
sufte1 received his degree at Cornell.
In most college romanees that would
have been an opportune time for the
lover to have claimed his bride, but
Viola continued to play with her dolls
and Farnum fastened to New York to

price lists. The Importance Of this
collection to the German industries
cannot be overestimated. OF French
and English fabrics alone there are
$4,000 samples, while Of French and
German carpets there are 10000 speci-
mems. There Is q museum Of natural
history that is wonderful and valu-
able. In one Of the palaces Is col
lection Of Majoliea vases that was
purchased in Venice In the eighteenth
century. The Wurtemburg Museum
Of Antiquities contains every sort Of
relic imaginable from royal cabinets
and armor to pack Of cards painted

leries would take lifetime and then
one would not have seen half.
Stuttgart is the center Of network
of railroads. II Is also the center Of
the bookmaking and publishing indus
try Of south Germany. It is noted for
its, excellent educational institutions,
and especially its Conservatory Of
Music, where many Americans have
received their musical education. It
has q technical high school that con-
fers the degree Of doctor of engineer
ing, also a veterinary high school, and
a school of art.
Home Of Famous Men.
There are number Of great men
who have lived in Stuttgart. Among
them are Hegel, the philosopher, who
was born in ITO; Dannecker, the
sculptor, also claimed 1t as his birth
place; the poet Schiller was educated
there, his father being the inspector
Of the gardens of the Karlsruhe;
Gustav Schwab, the poet, lived there
and is buried In the Hoppenlau GEM
etery; and the tomb of Johann Reuch-
lin, the humanlst, IL in one Of the
churches.
We can imagine the pride the Ger
mans have in this beautiful city,
which is q model for all municipaIi-
ties, and the CONSERVATION there must
have been when it was attacked by
airplanes. It seems an outrage to de-
stroy what Is beautiful and valuable,
and when the Germans realize the
danger and perhaps loss of some Of
their own art treasures It is to be
hoped they will recognize the perfdy
Of their own act in destroying the Ca
thedrals Of Louvain and Reims..
