Brockville, Nov. 18.--Leo McAd- am, Scotty McAdam, Ogdens- burg, has been sentenced in United States district court at Ayburn, N.Y, to serve one year and ong day at the Federal prison at Altanta for bring= ing into the United Sates from Pres- ¢ott, an alien woman and contracting a bigamous marriage with her at Norwood, N.Y. The woman was de- ported to Canada. He had lived at Brockville and Prescott. In the lat- ter place he lived in a boarding house, conducted by Mrs. Boyd It was with Mrs. Boyd's daughter, Mrs. Adeline Phillips, that McAdam be- came infatuated. The woman also lived at the boarding house. Her husband, C. E. Phillips, is in Ber- muda with the 38th Battalion, Com- pany C, having enlisted last winter. On October 3rd, Mrs. Phillips re- ceived from the Canadian Govern- ment the sum of $50, which is paid monthly to wives of soldiers during the war. The following day she and McAdam crossed on the ferry boat to Ogdensburg. So that they would not attract attention they waited until they were on that side before pur- chasing suitcases. On the same day they went to Norwood and were mar- ried at the Congregational parson- age by Rev. Isaac Steenson. From Norwood they went to Norfolk and were living at a boarding. house when arrested. The complaint was made by Mrs. Boyd. Mrs. Phillips is twen- ty-three years old, so was McAdam. alias A United States Recruit. Belleville, Nov. 18.--G. B.

MOST BEAUTIFUL WORD. Interesting, Pathetic, and Amusing Choices in Recent Experiment. What is the most beautiful word in the English language? A profes- sor, who has been teaching for a number of years has collected some interesting facts concerning the pre- ferences that schoolgirls and school- boys entertain for certain words. He has made the experiment with some twenty classes, all the way from an infant class in a country school to the senior students at one of the univer- sities. ¢ At the conclusion of an examina- tion the teacher has had little slips of blank paper distributed.. He has then requested each pupil to write down, without consulting his neigh- bour, what he thought the most beau- tiful word in the English lunguage, giving consideration both to sound and to sense, Of the 600 pupils that he has had, 405 wrote the name "Mother," eighty-two wrote "Home," two 'Father," eighteen "Daddy," six- teen "Vacation," eleven "Fireside," nine "Football," seven "Love," three "Sister," two "Aunties," and two "Grandmother." The following words received one vote each: "'grand-" "Vesper," "Hope," *"Rose," "Hyacinth," gel," "Musie," and "Play." Of the remaining fourteen, one, a response from a very bright boy, puz- zled the professor. That boy wrote "Cellar door." When asked about it, be pronounced it "'Cellah doab," and explained, "Oh, it just sounds pretty." The Other thirteen votes, all for the same word, amused and pérplex- ed the professor. They were all banded in at the same time from a class of twenty-nine healthy, growing, bard-working country boys. There was, the teacher insists, no opportun- ty for collusion. The vote was taken silently. Each ballot was then folded and dropped into a hat that the teacher asked one of the boys to pass around. Those thir.een citizens-to-be delib- erately wrote down the ugly-sound- ing, greasy-looking, thoroughly unat- tractive word "Victuals." What could have been more suggestive of that teacher's opportunity than the fact that nearly half of a class of twenty- nine immortal souls thought "Vict uals" the most beautiful word in the English language? And what hifher compliment could be paid to motherhood and the home than the fact that 527 of these 600 boys and girlz, young men and young women, independently, and at various times and places, selected words that suggested, family relationship as the Sweetest words in their language? "An- TAUNTED INTO ACTION. Both of Them Could Ride and Were Willing to Prove It. When flag lieutenant to Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, commander in chief ' at Plymouth, Lord Charles Beresford used to hunt a good deal with the Dartmoor hounds. One day when there was no run, and every one was bored, one of the ladies present begged young Beresford to provide some' kind of sport. Lord Charles tells the story in his "Memoirs." "You must do something to amuse us," the lady said. . "Very well, I will," said I. Among the officers there were an elderly admiral and an elderly gen- eral, and I pointed them out to the lady. "1 will get them," I said, She said I could not. I began with the soldier. Ambling alongside the general, 1 asked him if he had ridden much in his life. "Of course I have!" he answered irritably. "What do you mean, sir?" "Nothing at all," said I. "3 The admiral" up a race between "What about the admiral?" cried | the general, staring suspiciously at that unconscious officer. "He said he didn't think you knew | much about a horse." The general lost his temper, He | said he would show the admiral what | he knew about a horse. "You can easily prove it," said I, | and before the general quite under- | stood what was happening, he had agreed to ride a race, Then over to the admiral. "Do. you know what says? He says you look like a mon- key a horse," says'L "'Clirsed impertinence!" said the admiral. "I'll race him and beat him any day in the week." 1 went the general "If you really waht a race I'll ar- | | range the whole thing," said I. And I.brought the two wrathful old gen- tlemen together, rode with them to the starting point, gave the word, and off they went as hard as they could pelt. The general was drawing abead when his horse balked at a soft place. The admiral's horse did the same and threw his rider for- ward on his neck. "Get back into the saddle and he'll £0 through!" I shouted, for I knew horse. The admiral hove himself to his seat and won the race.
