Starkey. While the jury returned a verdict of $10,000 in Miss Roberts' favor, Starkey departed the night before the verdict was re turned and has wpever been seen in Zanesville since. At that time Miss Roberts, an art- ist, was one of the city's most popular young 'society women. As a result of the sensational developments of that trial, she has "Jived a secluded life.

BOOK BARES LOVE'S DREAM. Gets Tender Epistie After Hidden Twelve Years. Saginaw, Mich., Nov. 21.--That there are many rare things in old books has been proved to the satisfaction of Miss Julia Emery, now a teacher in the public schools, and Alfred E. Kent, deputy county treasurer. Twelve years ago Mr. Kent, with other youths, was in love with Miss Emery, who, as the story goes, "lov- ed" another. While skating with Kent's rival, Miss Emery collided with Kent, but failed to beg his pardon, This led to complications in the young man's mind as to how he stood. Tak- ing advantage of a few spare moments next day in school, an epistle, which was placed in an en- velope and sealed. Then something happened, just what no one will ever know. However, the letter never reached its destination until recently, when a book was taken from the supply room of the school board and sent to the Houghton school. It was opened and a letter dropped out. The address was plain, so a messenger was despatched with the letter to Miss Emery, who read it over carefully. The school teachers with whom she talked re- garding the "case" of her youth had a good laugh, as Mr. Rent is now married has a fine baby boy. HUNDREDS IN THI); FAMILY. Has 518 Descendants--None Ever in Prison. McKee, Ky., Nov. 21.-Mrs. Jane DAILY BRITISH Morris, of Jackson county, now eigh- ty-six years old, is believed to have more descendants than any .other wo- man living. They number 518. None of them has ever been in a prison or ys school for reform. She had fifteen children. Her grand- children number 128, great-grandchil- dren 326 and great-great-grandchildren forty-nine. She was married when sixteen years old, and her husband lived until six years after they had celebrated their golden wedding. One of her daughters, Mrs. Hannah Lake, has sixteen children, seventy-six grandchildren, and eight greal-grand- children. Another daughter, Mrs. Sally Sparks, has fifteen children, twenty-nine grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren, The Best Known Portrait, Literary Times. In a discussion. as to what is the most common and familiar "portrait in the world, writes Arthur Joring Bruce, one man was sure Raphael's Sistine Madonna was the best known portrait in Rhe world, all for Leonardo's Mona Lisa. Still another vontended that no likeness was so universally known as that of King Edward on the coins of Great Britain. The sphinx was mentioned and the Venus of Milo. The discus- sion was growing warm when a mild and callow youth chirped up with : "You are all wrong! All of you! The best known portrait.in the world is the Queen of Spades." : He then proceeded to prove what, it seems, is common knowledge among the cognoscenti, namely: that the queen of spades is a bona fide likeness of the late Queen Anne of Britain. It seems that somewhere about 1719 the English and European stationers fixed on the image of the queen of England as a suitable one to inscribe on their laying cards. For 200 years. or more er face has looked out at us, not al- together unpleasantly---particularly in bezique--from the depths of the pack. How much longer, we wonder, will her piysiognomy be shuffled down the cor- ridors of time ? Plea of a Purist. Boston Transcript. Thus writes a purist of Dorchester : "For the honor of Boston culture will you not call attention to the proper pronunciation of the new vocabulary concerning airships ? Positively, it sets one's teech on edge to hear about 'a-re-o-planes' and "a-re-o-nots,' to say nothing of 'Bleerotts' and 'bip-lanes' and avay-shun.' It is bad enough to woe 'airplanes' in bold type, but 'a-reo- planes' is tough. Say a word, too, about that terrible new coinage 'onto.' When the brave 'a-reo-not' gets up 'onto his car,' it is really pretty Bad; but no so dangerous as to get wp 'onto his hanjer* And while you nbout it, do ask 'em to take time to say 'telephone' and not that dreadful 'phone. She who 'phones' so often wears a gigantic what germy fillet, and exhibits a vast amount of dentistry for the money. And ask her, too, not to buy a 'rim- let' of 'voyel' for her dress, nor to take 'Pohanna Hofi' if she wishes to 'rejuce.' " The Foolish Virgin. San Francisco Star.

His arrest came after developments which led Prosecutor Andrews to believe that in- stead of Mrs. Smith being the victim of an accident, she had died from burns caused by flames which her own husband had started. Smith recently served a ninety-day sentence at the county jail for wife beating. # AUTUMN REFLECTIONS. Companionship of a Good Book or Paper a Blessing. By Prof. Paul Denys.

It stands to reason that we can't ever sending bouquets to Crippen or dilate on events in Drummond and Oyster Bay, and the seem- ing fickleness in Miss Canada's weather tastes, proves a welcome theme for innocent words. It also eun- ables us to observe that no matter how inclement the temperature, you will find the gentleman of the street corner persuasion undaunted, nay, superb in his staying qualities, finding fortitude sufficient even to whistle--an art I always admired. True, the while and to complete the picture, he has his hands in" his pockets, which per- haps is better than having them in his neighbor's, yet forcing the reflec- tion that, after all, man's happiness must largely be a matter of tempera- ment. But in these dark, dreary autumnal days, with leafless trees and flowerless terraces and the raw wind moaning at your window, what can you do if you have not learned to value the. com- panionship of a good book or a good paper. You may be great or you may not, but no matter what, little vexa- tions, troubles, contrarieties will, in spite of all, ereep into your life--the more readily if you are of a gentle, sensitive nature--and cloud its course, fortunate will it be if, loving those friends who are never false-- books--you ask their aid, for they will lift you into an atmosphere of higher, nobler thoughts and truths ! I would, a cheerfully chant a paean for the public press, that "pul- pit on wings," and "first power in the land" as fittingly called in turn by twa. eminent. djvino. How lonesome we are when fails the mail to bring us our morni "quotidien," or if the local evening journal with ite"budget of news "about people we know," is so much as an hour late. Besides, he who reads not, knows not, and not to know in this age of intense light and life and progress, is almost a crime. "Neither ould it do to expect clothes however chic, to cut all the ice. My old chum, Prof. Huxley, exacted a little more when he said: "Let your intel- lect having compassed knowledge, be o clear, cold, logical engine with all its parts of equal strength and in smooth working order; ready to spin gossa- mers or forge anchors, and your body a trained servant to it." I would wish to have seen something about the heart in that definition, yet it calls for more than smart garment to make a man, and goes a bit higher than the little chap had reached when he won the medal at school. Being asked by his proud father how he had carried off the prize, "I answered the ques- tion," was the no less proud re. sponse. And what was the question, Sonny? "How many lege has a cat?" And what did you answer ? "I answered three." Heavens! and vou won! "Why, yes, pa; the other boys said two!" : BRANDON INSANE ASYLUM. Fireproof Building Will Replace One Destroyed.
