"When poverty comes in at the door, love flies cut from the window," isa tipee-honored adage regarding domes: tic happiness. Moderm history would seem to change this prover? to "When wealth inflates the pocket, old loves 'are cast aside for new infatuations," faithful, money-saving wife, who by the side of the ambitious striving for higher lovels of glue fortune, does not always hold his when hé reaches the daeal- altitude at which hé has aimed. le more gorgeous butterfly captures ping ~ the last few months the world has watched with more than or: dinary interest the marital troubles 50 | aired, of Mr. and Mrs. E.

Migher and higher 'he rose, until he was credited as being one of the big gest trust magnates in America, During all this time, Mrs. Leeds was just the plain, domestie little woman she had been when the young Indiana chain carrier vowed he would not live without her. As his success grew, perhaps Mr. Leeds became more ambitious in mat- ' [rimony as well as power. In any event 6 younger and charming woman cross- ed his path. She was married, too, but then divorces are easy in Ameri ca. In a short time Mr. and Mrs. Leeds were separated by the law. Then Mr. Leeds married the dashing and charm- ing Mrs. Worthington, who had also secured a divorce, To this new bride, it is stated, Mr. Leeds made many rich gifts. There was a pearl necklace estimated to be worth 365,000; the wedding ring was reported to be worth $1,000; a dia mond necklace, $5,000; an ermine coat, $10,000; paintings, 5,000. 1t was also said that houses in New York Newport, were acquired at a cost of $1,000,000 each. All this was vastly different from the experience of the first bride, then Miss, Jeanette Irene Gaar, of Rich mond, Ind, who gladly joined her fate with a man who then had little to offer in worldly goods. To the credit of Mr. Leeds it must be admitted that he provided most liberally for his first wife. A fortune of 21,000100, it is stated was settled upon her. With this money she did not retire to a ""sulking and silent" private life. Shortly after the ol hor husband she took part in a really laughable comedy at Palm Beach, Florida.

Both Corey and Mabelle Gilman, the actress, whose name was mentioned in this tragedy of a home, denied - phatically that = {heir frigndship is other than most platenic. This, how- ever, did not save Corey from allega- tions that a new infatuation had shouldered out of the way the love and loyalty of his youth, Whether 'correctly or not, the world assumed that it was simply another case where a man coneluded that the companioy of his early striggles was not capable of filling his horison, when it had broaaened. ] His home was a 'modest little cot: tage, from which his young wife did much to fight away the wolf, second marriage Native and.

He was just a ragged urchin, But his soul within was stirred, And his little fist was doubled, And his eyes with tears were blurred. He was looking at a picture Of the Lord of life and light, Starting on his way to Calvary-- Which he'd heard about last night. For his teacher told the story At the little Mission Room~-- Toid of how the sinner's Saviour Bore the Cross and filled the tomb. As he looked, he saw another Looking with like sympathy, And the boy moved near him saying, "That's the Lord who died for me." i For they killed = him, Sir, they killed im Pierced his huuds, and feet, and side, And abused Him on the Cross there Till the blessed Saviour died." Ie could say no more. The stranger Turned aside and went his way, Thinking he had seen two pictures That impressed him much that day. He had not procecded far when He heard running at his side-- The poor lad who had just spoken Of the way the Saviour died, And as if he'd got glad tidings, To his new found friend he said, "Sir, He's rispn, "He is risen, Sir, thé Saviour is not dead ! 1 "For He rose and went to glory, And He's living now in Heaven, So that all who hear the story May believe and be forgiven.

GIVEN EIGHT YEARS BRUNKE"S ACCOUNT OF THE TRAGEDY, German Student Who Murdered Two Despondent Sisters and Then Surrendered to Folice Receives His Sentence. Berlin, April 28--Karl Brunke, a bank; clerk, nineteen years of age, was recently sentenced in the Brunswick eriminal court to eight years' penal servitude for murdering two sisters, and Alma Haars, at their own request. 'The German criminal code differenti- ates between ordinary murder and murder committed at a victim's re- quest, Paragraph 216 of the code pro- vides for punishment of at least three years' imprisonment for murder com: mitted at the serious and plainly ex- pressed "desire of the victim. Brunke, in replying to questions ad- dressed to him by the judge, said he was keerly interested in literature, and had read Kant, Schopenhauer, and other philosophers. He had written many plays, all of which had been re- jected by theatrical managers. A few months before the tragedy he bégah to teach music to both girls, who were respectively, twenty-two and twenty-one years of age. He declared, that Martha Haars, like himself, be- came ga victim to melancholia, because her literary. aspirations remained un- filled. Alma desired to die because she was. deeply attached to her elder sis- ter. Whatever the reasons may have been, Brunke and the two girls agreed to die together, Brunke gave the following account of"the tragedy in a calm, matter of fact way, which sent repeated thrills of horror through évery one in court: "Martha Haars begoed me to pois: on her," he said. "I refused to do so, and she then asked me to buy a re volver and shoot her. I could not buy one, , because 1 only possessed six- pence. Then she gave me the money and I went out and bought a revolver. "When I came back to my lodgings the two girls were awaiting me in my room. Our courage began to fail us, and Martha gave me thirty shillings to buy three bottles of champagne. After screwing drinking the wine we discussed details of our own deaths. "First T fired one shot by way of trial, and we all agreed the revolver would do its work unfailingly. Both girls had put on white blouses and black skirts. T shot the younger sis- ter, Alma Hadrs, and as she fell dead on the spot we bent over her body and Martha asked her sister if she was still alive. "As we received no answer, Martha stooc. up and showed me the spot on her breast at which I should fire. 1 took deliberate aim and fired two shots at Wer, both of which passed through her body. She died instantly. "I conld not stand the sight of the two hodies, but instead of killing my- self. I walked to the police station and pave myself up." Rrunke's cool demeanor caused the police to entertain = doubt as to his sanitv. but a careful observation by medical exnertz resulted in their de- claration that he could not be judged insane, © The statement mada hy Brunke thet the two victims desired to be killed, was horne out fully bv a letter which thev wrote to their parents an hour before death. They stated they had becroed the bank clerk to shoot them. Since the crime the mother of tha pirle has commiited suicide through orief. the FARMERS' FIELD MEETINGS. Weed-Fighting is.a Very Serious Problem. The cost of labor in fighting weed, insect and fungus pests, which like the poor are ever with us, is one of the most serious problems with which far- mers have to contend. © The seed con- trol act has had the effect of increas ing the price paid to farmers for their pure seed, and of reducing the price for their low grade seed. An even greater diserimination in prices is likely to follow. New weeds eomtinue to be introduced. The trade in agricul tural seeds has been a fruitful means for spreading them. The shipment, for feeding purposes, of screenings from western grown wheat to points in the eastern provinces is another source of immediate danger that should not he overlooked. The noxious nature of new weeds that are being introdueed, in varios ways, is seldom well under- stood or their danger appreciated: by farmers until they have become well established. The dominion and provincial depart- ments of agriculture are more than ever alive to these dangers which threaten to. become a seriops loss in crop production, and in he castern provinces they are co-operating again this year in holding field meetings, during the month of June, when weeds, insects, funous diseases. and plant growth are most in evidence, Seventy of these field meetings are being ar- ranged by Superintendent 6G. A. Put- nam. in connection with the farmers' institute svstem of Ontario. The fer- vices of Prof. Lochhead of the. Mac-. donald Ae~vieultaral Colleoe, at Ste.
