Mr. Post is said to have murmured some- thing about May mating with December. It was all very lovely, that courtship eight years ago.

Perhaps there is some consolation, after all, perhaps many unpleasantnesses are avoided, by being left in the lurch at the church, In Richmond, Va., there was no more devoted lover than Frank Tucker. He was only 19, but ardent--how ardent! Minnie Striplett was his "colleen bawn," and was at the saccharine age of 16. Other girls sighed when they thought of this happy maiden. The wedding was arranged. The bride's home on the happy day was be- decked with flowers. The bride, radiant and lovely, assumed a filmy veil and car- ried a bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley, flowers so signifitant of love. a it thine, ox With # pour J.

His rl objected 3s fhe marriage, it is said that op the wedding evening she locked him in his room, where he was kept a prisoner. On a cold, brisk day some months ago a white-gowned figire waited in the vestibule of Grace theran church, Macungie, Pa. The figure was Miss Eva V. Barto. She was surrounded by friends, who had come to witness her marriage to Peter W, Trexler, of Al- burtis, a neighboring town. But the bride waited in vain. The man failed to appear. Miss Barto did not pine in secret. She promptly brought suit against Trexler for $5,000 damages for breach of promise. At how much in mere money does a woman value her heart? The price seems to vary. Miss Gertrude Dennig, of Dan- nanstown, Pa. asserted in court that when her wedding day approached the love of William Wannamaker, her fi- ance, grew cold; cold as ice. The young woman shivered, as she told of the sudden frigidity of his affection And after she had recounted her suffer- ings and told how her heant was lacerated she asked $25000 as a balm for the cruel wounds. Miss Dennig said she was 25 and her lover 20. So intense was his desire to win her favor, she said, that when he an courting her he paid two men to hold them up while they were on an evening walk 'so that he could gallantly attack and put them to rout. Of course, it was only later that she learned of the hoax, and at the time thought Wanna- maker was just "grand." But of all the tragedies of love, what is more cruel than to be parted 'at the altar? What is more dramatic, what nearer filled with the high notes of de- ir? Miss Mary Moore, daughter of Ed- ward E. Moore, a wealthy Brooklyn business man, was wedded to the man of her choice in St. ine's Catholic church, New York. iss Moore had met the young man three months fore. He was introduced to her as a promising young lawyer. The weading was a fashionable event; the church was filled with guesis. Dur- ing the ceremony an unknown man en- tered the church. He followed the cou- ple to the bride's home, where there was a-splendid reception. In the midst of the festivities the un- known man ared before the bride groom, decla him to be a profligate nephew, discarded by his family, and de- nounced him as an impostor and cri- minal. The bridegroom is said to have confessed. He fled from the house. After that the bride never saw him, and a short time ago Judge Burr annulled the marriage. ~- 27 BROCK ST. 30 New Carriages, Cautters, Harness, | At Simmenthal," in Switzerland, not £ : JJ long ago, a young couple were to be sale. te married.

The couple left for a honeymoon. Five weeks later the Italian signor turned up at a hotel in New York, where he had apartments. He was alone Then Mayor Johnson and his wife hur- ried to New York. There was no recon- ciliation; the signor continued to live one. Madge wrong? sim i apart. ed? The i , when seen, fiercely pulled his moustache, furiously tore his fingers through his black hair, flashed his eyes, shook his fists. Mayor Johnson, when asked about it, looked as if he were ready to attack a §-cent trolley fare. It understood that disillusionment had ed the romance. One of the most romantic courtships was that of Miss Marguerite Lee Baker, of Washington, and Alphonse Zelaya, The couple were What had happen- son of the president of Nicaragua. While courting her one evening a posse of men ent: the house of Miss Baker and bodily carried away her lover. He was shipped south on his way to Nica- ragua, but escaped in New Orleans. Re- turning to Washington, he married the In a short time there was a separa- tion. The bride said her husband could not support her. Reconciliation follow- ed, after which the ng man was ar- rested, charged with stealing a shirt. Then separation again. Mrs. Zelaya gave newspaper interviews, in which she de clared that she had always been unfor- tunate ; that fate seemed against her. Recently Timothy J. Martin, a mil- lionaire, of New York, aged 70, sued his young wife for divorce.

Miss Newcomb declared sh? sewed buttons on the man's coat, made salves for his hands, told him how to dress in the winter, and that in return for ber kind- ness he asked her "to hook up" with him. She consented, and when the "hitching" did not take place, brought suit. The passion of Lady Rose Houghton Clark, aged 60 years, for the Duke de Pleneuf had a cruel ending. The duke said the Lady Rose proposed to him, and upon his refusing to marry her she circulated base slanders concerning him. 1.¢ brought suit in London, and secured a judgment for slander to the amount of $1,250.

The Woman's Club of Topeka, Kas, has concluded that renting club rooms does not pay. y determined to pro- vide a club house, although discouraged by friends who sought to w that it would not pay. Selecting their property they sold 100 shares of clubhouse Fock at $10 a share, and had no difficulty in disposing of sufficient to warrant them in making the first payment upon a piece of desirable property. The Topeka Com- mercial Club became so interested in their plucky endeavor to secure a house of their own that it indorsed the effort to raise money and passed a resolution recommending that the business men of Topeka buy shares in the stock. Improve Your Gomplexion. Give Up Cosmetics. and Seek the Cause of Your Bad Color. When it's so easy to bring back the bloom of youth, to remove the blem- ishes and fill the hollows, isn't it fool- ish to plaster on cosmetics ?

"SCREAMING SKULL" ---- Authentic Legend of Boynton Hall, England--Sister"s Dying Re- quest , Disregarded--Weird Sounds. The Screaming Skull of Burton Agnes Hall, the seat of the Boynton family, is one of the weirdest of the many weird and fascinating old legends that are told of the famous houses of Britain. An account, authenticated by Sir Griffith Boynton, the present head of the family, is ished in Pearson's Magazine. The story goes that in her dying mo- ments a certain Anne Griffith made her sisters promise that her head should rest forever in the family mansion, but that after her death this was looked on as a mere dying fancy, and the promise disre- r hen comes the weird 'part of the legend: "About a week after the fun- eral, on the same night of the week as that on which Anne died, just as the in- mates of the house were retiring to bed, they were startled by a loud crash in one of the upstairs rooms. Conclud- ing that a picture or some furniture had fallen, two men-servants went to the room to find out the cause of the noise, but everything was quite undisturbed. mms GRUESONE STORYl,... 227. THE GHOST WITH THE| UNDER THE BAN. -------- Law Annulled, © FRAU MARIE STRITT. Berlin, Aug. 3.--Frau Marie Stritt, vice-president-at-large of the Interna- tional Council of Women, and presi- Full of anxious fear, the family kept vigil ; but the night wore on without any further sounds, and =the next morning there was no evidence of any disturb- ance. d "On the same night of the following | week, at exactly the same hour, severa of the heavy doors in the house began banging TIcitly, with apparently no cause. The alarmed household, terrified nearly out of their wits, rushed en masse in the direction of the sound, but as fast as they searched one part of the hall the doors in another part would begin banging and crashing, only to be found fast' closed, and in many cases securely locked. At last the noise ceas- ed, and the sisters and their retainers retired tremblingly to rest. : "Next week, on the same night, the inhabitants of the Hall were alarmed by hearing the footsteps of a large crowd of people hurrying through the rooms and corridors, while heartrending groans and screams broke the stillness of the night. This time the terrified household dare not leave their beds, but lay shiver- ing with dread under the bedclothes. On the following day every woman ser- vant had fled from the house. "The two sisters, horrified beyond measure, consulted with their neighbors, Sir William Quentin and the vicar of Burton Agnes. They confessed tearfully that Anne in her dying moments had laid on them a solemn injunction which they had promised to perform, but had afterwards ignored, and they also told of her threat that unless her body, or some part of her body, should remain in the house, she would haunt Burton Agnes till the judgment day. . "After hearing their story the vicar suggested that some light might be thrown upon the matter if Anne's cof- fin were to be opened, so this was ac- cordingly done. When the lid was raised a ghastly spectacle presented itself. The body, it is true, lay peacefully and un- corrupted, but the head had fallen to decay, and a grinning skull, already sev- hearts of the beholders, This was at once accepted as the sign for which the vicar had hoped. ""Let the skull be brought to the Hall! said the sisters, 'for until that is done the soul of our dead sister will never rest in peace.' ; "The grisly relic was accordingly brought, with due reverence, to the Hall, and placed upon a table, and with its ad- vent the ghostly nocturnal sounds ceas- ed to alarm the sisters, and all was peace once more."

From Lippincott's. > A young man was sitting in a bar- ber shop looking at a magazine when an old farmer, with little knowledge or appreciation of literary people, stepped up behind his chair andlook- ed over his shoulder. "Who's them ?"' he inquired, ' point- ing to a.group of portraits, "Well-known authors' and wrights,"" was the reply. "Humph !"" ejaculated the farmer contemptuously. "Jist writin' fellers, eh ?" Then he caught sight of George Ade's long, so- lemn face, and his eves lighted up. "That's the one I like," he said with 'decision, puttiff* his finger on Mr. Ade's mournful countenance. 'Oh, yes; nearly every one likes George Ade," agreed the young man. "His humorous writings are -- "Don't know nothin' 'bout his writ- in', but I like his face." "Why so ?"--curiously.

A large white chip hat, in the fash- ionable muslarcom shape, is shown in the accompanying cut. The trimming To farm with the head, to realize that no farmer can succeed by mere brute strength, and that drudgery is labor without thought, are ideas firm- ly lodged in the farmers of lowa. The state with half of her population of 2,250,000 directly engaged in agricul ture, and the rest mostly dependent upon it, has led in originating me- thods for carrying the message of the new agriculture directly to the farms and for making good the prediction of the secretary of agriculture, an lowan, that there will be no more serious crop failures. In four notable ways have scientific methods secured im- mediate and general adoption: The "short course" in stock-judging, start ed at the State Agricultural College at Ames in 1899, and now developed into other lines and adopted by other states. The local agricultural experi- ment stations on the county poor farms, pegun in 1903 and 'destined to go around the world." 'The: 'seed- special trains, started in 1904, which in three seasons covered 11,000 miles of railway and brought audiences of farmers aggregating 150,000 to learn the importance of a better selection of sced-corn, care in testing before plant- ing, and other facts that have in- creased the average yield of the state by one-third in three years. The de- partment of agricultural extensions in the State Agricultural College, started in 1906, giving practical aid to every seeker for information concerning ani- mal husbandry, farm crops, soils, dairying, horticulture and domestic science. 3,000 Year Old Bank Notes. The oldest bank notes in the world are the "flying money," or convenient money, firdt issued in China in 2807 B.C. One writer tells that the ancient Chinese bank notes were in many respects similar to those of the present day, bearing the name of the bank, the date of issue, the number of the note, the signature of the official who issued it, and ts value in both figures and words. Oh the top of these curious notes was phe following philosophic injunction: ("Produce all you can: spend with economy." The note was printed in blue ink on paper made from the fibre of the mulberry tree. One of these notes, bearing: the date of 1300 B.C,, is still preserved in the Asiatic Museum at St. Petersburg. ~~ Rub Away Pain.
