Well, I've been expecting TINS Tor

my boy, because Leslie has been
singing your praises from the mo-
ment | met her at the train, and yet
l found that she really knew moth
ing about you. | asked her what
you were gong to live on, and she
did not know; IN fact, with the e%-
ception of knowing the name OF
your advertising company, she knew
nothing about your present earning
capacity or your future prospects.

sent her either violcts or orchids
every day and that you drove a
smashing red roadster, and that

I'm afraid you two young people

me about you, and from wat !

and restless under the questioning
He was not pushed, however, being
given plenty of time in answering
questions and being permitted to use
an interpreter when desired.
Asked if he had ever talked to
Mrs. Emil Bobb about his wife nc

he talked to her. He denied he ever
told her that he forced his wife &c
put sugar in his coffee, because with

want to buy sugar in such small
quantities..
He then admitted he had said his
wife was a good mother but denied
saying she was mot for among the

Bobb he felt like taking a rope and
hanging himself. He also at first
disclaimed knowledge of converse

Letter from John Alden Prescott to

JDSEpH GRAVES HAMILTON,

Joseph Graves Hamilton
JOSEPH GRAVES HAMILTON,
SHARON, PA.
MY DEAR MIR. HAMILTON:
BY the time you receive tnis let
ter. Leslie will have probably told
YOU that | have asked her to be my
wife. AS you know nothing of me,
however, | thought it would be
nothing less than honorable to tell
YOU a little about the man to whom
you are being asked to give your
daughter.
AS you probably nave guessed
from my name. John Alden Prescott,
my forbears were of Puritan stock.
My father is dead and my mother
has enough to keep her comfort
ably without any help from me.
NV mother is especially proud OF
being direct descendant of John
Alden, but that of course means
nothing to me; in fact, | have felt
that all my life | have been some
what circumscribed and confined be-
cause my mother expected me to
live up to tne more or less narrow
prccepts of my ancestors.
| haven't done It. | am just a
modern young man who has gone
| through college with more or less
cscapades and honors-pcrhaps
However, ] have not done anything
that / am sure even you would con
slider objectionable.
| OF course, | cannot expect to keep
! Leslie in the way in which she now
lives, but am getting $4,000 a year
with the Acme Advertising Com
/ pany, and ! have prospects of be-
| ing raised another thousand short
| ly, and good chance of becoming
| a member of the firm some day.
! Leslie tells me that sac is sure
we can live on u comparatively
/ small salary and l think perhaps
she would be willing to make some
sacrifices for me; and ! know any
thing that | shall give up will near
nothing to me beside the fact thai
| shall be privileged to call The
sweetest woman in all the wOrlt
my wife.
If you think me not wholly un
worthy it will give me the creates
Joy: but | must also tell you tina
with or without your consent,
shall make Leslie Hamilton my wifi,
because love her with all my hear
and she has told me that she love
nc.
Respectfully yours,

Decided crookedness of the chan

precedents were broke in that the
water and ice came down at one
time; that gorge formed at the
south line railroad grade bridge aud
at temporary wooden pile trcstle
farther down stream; and the fact
that the Missouri river has not gone
out and consequently the ice was
dropped in the lower part of the
river bottoms and backed up the wa
ter, were found to be contributing
factors to the flood which inundated
the south half of the city Sunday
and Monday.

park dam had anything to do with
the flood, but proved positively that
it was not at fault.
