That jolly, little God of Love wh

the meaning of obstacles has just we:
another victory. For eighteen month'-
he has been actively engaged in. super-
intending a love story. The compli; .2

Miss Belknap, daughter of the ex~Scc
rotary of War, will become the wife 01
Paul May, who a year ago, was the at-
tache of the Belgian Legation in Wash-
ington.
Both families objected to this wed-
ding. The Belknaps because of young
May’s religion, he being a Hebrew.
Through the influence of his mother,
Paul May was sent to Japan as a mem.
ber of the Belgian Legation in that
country. He was to remain there a
year, with the hope that time and dis-
tance might make him forget the girl
of his heart. That was what Mrs. May
hoped for, but not what Cupid intend-
ed. Now the time of probation is
over. Young May is coming back to
Washington, and Miss Belknap has an-
nounced to society and the world at
large that she will renounce her re-
)igipn and become a. Jewess. ,
MISS BELKNAP.
To do this much preparation is nec-
essary. _ She must go_ before three Rab-
bis, who will thoroughly ekplai‘n to her
the tenets of the Jewish religion. She
must give up her faith in the Divinity
of Christ and discard the New Testa-
ment, and she must submit to the bath
of purification. This bath is taken in
pure water in a specified place. The
bather has a garment wrapped around
her and two Jewish women as assist-
ants. '
As there is no synagogue in Wash-
ington, Miss Belknap and Mr. May
will be married in New York.’
Miss Belknap is about twenty years
old, and is handsome and accom-
plished. She has spent much of her
time abroad. In Washington, where
shemakes her home, she is and has
always been a great society favorite. ~
She has had many admirers, and more
than once there have been rumors of
engagements.
It was a case of love at first sight '
between Miss Belknap and Mr. May,~
and they would have been married
long ago but for the opposition of the
parents. '
Sherman's First Electingwith Lincoln.
Secretary Sherman says he never
will forget his first meeting with a
President. It was shortly after Lin-
coln’s inauguration, and he attended
1 public reception, fell into line, and
waited an hour or two fer a chance to
.:hake hands with the great emancipaa
tor. “During this time,” says Mr.
Sherman, “I was wondering what I
‘llOllld say and what Lincoln would
lo when we met. At last it came my
urn to be presented. Lincoln looked
t me a moment, extended his hand,
1nd said: ‘You’re a pretty tall fellow,
aren’t you? Stand up here with me,
back to back, and let's see which is
the taller.’ '
“In another moment 1’ was standing:
. back to back with the greatest man‘-
of his age“. Naturally I was quite:-
abashed by' this- unexpe'ct'ed? evidence of
democracy. .
"You’re from the West, aren’t you?"
inquired Lincoln.- -
“ ‘My home is in Ohio," l replied.
"“I thought so,’ he said; ‘that’s the

kind of men they raise" out there.

CAUGHT THE TRAIN. w
A Bright }\’estei-n'La\vyer \Vho Was an
Especially Unwelcome Resident.
Sam Wood, Whose name is written
all over the State of Kansas, was one
of the brightest lawyers and best
newspaper men in the state. He made
and wasted several fortunes before an
effort to changes éounty seat ended in
a gun fight which cost him his life.
Not overscrupulous he had his good
traits, and he has almost as many
friends as enemies, even now.
One day Sam Wood went out to a
new county seat and opened a law of-
fice. Presently he found a flaw in the
title by which about half the town site
had been conveyed to the present 1101'
ders, and he picked up the link and
served notice he would give quitclaim
deeds to every lot if the people in pos-
session would' pay him. If not, he
gave notice he Would begin suits in
ejectment.
They were Wild. They held a meeta
ing and appointed a committee. The
committee looked into the matter and
then went to Sam Wood with their re-
ply.
“We have searched the records, Mr.
Wood,” said the chairman of the com-
mittee, "and we find you are right. If
you insist on trying these cases all
these people must be thrown out of
their homes. What sound is that Mr.
Committeeman?”
“It is the fast freight from the west,”
was the reply. '
“Yes, it is the fast freight from the
west,” repeated the chairman. “It will
stop at the tank for water. You have
just time, Mr. Wood, to catch that
train, and I wouldn’t take a return
ticket if I were you.” And he began
to unwind a rOpe he had looped up un-
der his ulster.
“But through freights don’t carry
passengers,” said Sam Wood, fully
grasping the situation, and looking
swiftly over the utterly hopeless sit—
uation.
“This freight will carry a passenger,”
said the chairman of the committee
calmly. “Put the end of this rope
over the awning pole, Mr. Committee-
man. It will carry a passenger, and he
can go as live or dead freight, just
as he likes. We have just time—”
But Sam Wood was in the middle
of the 'street and half a block away,
running for dear life. He caught the
freight at the water tank; and he never
returned.
Calf and Rabbit Friends.
The Lawrenceburg, Ky., NeWS says:
“A few years ago Attorney E. W.
Draffen bought a pair of white rabbits.
One of them died, and, strange to say,’
a strong attachment soon sprang up
between the other rabbit and a Jersey
calf.
V‘panions, and when the calf grew up
the friendship ‘was not broken. The
Jersey goes out in' the field to graze
during the 'day and the rabbit plays
about the yard. In the evening, when
the Jersey comes up, the rabbit goes
out and the two fondle and caress each
other in the most affectionate man-
ner.” '

THREE.SISTERS HAVE LIVELY TIMES
IN A! MISSOURI TOWN.
Their Office has been Wrecked—They Have
been Shot at, and Their Horse was Poi-
soned, but They Kept on Editing and
have Never Missed an Issue.
2 In the little town of Maryville, Mo.
three ”young women publish '~a daily
newspaper; They are the daughters
of anewspaper. man,. and have been
trained to the business from the time
they were little girls.
They do all the work connected with
the publication of the paper. The eld-
est, Miss Pearl Griffin, is not yet 25
years old. Miss Lulu Griffin is the ed-
itor of the Weekly Advocate, which is
also published by these young women
These are the only two papers in the
United States which are managed on
clusively by girls. The three sisters
do all the work, both inside and out-
side of the office. and keep the papers
on a paying basis in competition with
four others published weekly in the
same town.~ They support their moth-
er in good’style, have a comfortable
home, and enjoy the confidence and
respect of the good people of Mary-
ville. The Daily Review is the only
daily newspaper in the Fourth Con-
gress district outside of St. Joseph.
The girls have had some lively ex!
periences during theirjournalistic ca-
reer, but have managed to hold their
own against the most violent and bit-
ter opposition and prejudice.
In 1890 the Daily Review and the
Weekly Advocate waded into the 10-
,cal campaign and made the fur fly.
The papers supported the straight
Democratic ticket, 'and during the
heat of the campaign the editors be:
came involved in a personal fight with
a certain Roman Catholic priest, who
stirred up the most intense bitterness
against them, and, according to the
young women them-selves, was at the
bottom of most of their troubles.
The Reviei‘v‘ and Advocate also made
a vigorous war upon the saloons at
this time, and the election resulted in
a clean and decided victory for the,
young women. '
On the Saturday night following the‘
election the office of both papers was
broken into, the presses were broken,
racks tipped over, and the forms on
which the daily had been run off were
completely destroyed, nothing being
left but the chases. ' ,
The girls went to Work with a grim
determination not to be downed, and
managed to pick up enough type that
had been strewn over the floors to set
up three or four columns of matter,-
and the Daily Review was issued on
time Monday evening.
The girls kept up their warfare on
their enemies, and a month later the
office was again wrecked. Miss Lulu
Griffin worked until midnight getting
out the Weekly Advocate. She left
the office with her mother, after lock-
ing the door behind her, leaving every-
thing in good order. There were six
forms of type on the imposing stone,
two being.r made up of fine display
advertising edition.
When the young women went to'
work next morning they found every-2
thing gone. The -wreckers did not
stop to empty the case this time, but
carried all the type and other mate-1
rials away, and then ran a chisel into
the cylinder of the press, so that it-
was temporarily ruined.
The girls moved their office into an-,
other building; scraped up a little type‘
and set up the paper. For a press'
they took a roller from a sugar ‘cane;
mill, fastened it upon a dry goods box.5
put Weights on each side, rolled it;
slowly backward and forward oVer,
the forms, and in that way managed",
to print a pretty fair sort of newspa-f
per. They used this sugar cane press
for several weeks until their cylinder
press had been repaired.- '
One day in the following August the
Griffin sisters and their mother were,
out driving in a two-seated surrey,‘
dravvn by a favorite family ho‘rse. It
was a' handsome, spirited animal, and
During the course of their drive they
stopped to listen to a street concert,
when some one in‘ the" crewd threw,
acid upon the horse and tried to make
it run away. The young women man-f
aged to control it, however, and drove
home and put it in the barn. Thirty
minutes later the horse died from a'
dose of poison; i
In the following" October the ofi‘lce;
was again raided. The young women{

. A $20,000,000 FRAU D.
That is What the Bridal Package in the.
Government Treasury is Declared.
“I hthte to shatter a pet delusion by
giving the facts in the case,” said a
former clerk in the Treasury Depart-
ment at Washington, “but fraud
ought to be exposed regardless of con-
sequences, and the greatest fraud I
know of is the famous ‘bridal pack
age’ of the Treasury vaults.
“I don’t know who it was in the de-
partment that first imposed it on a,
bridal pair, but it went, and it grows .
in popularity every year. When the
couple enter the vault the man in
charge, after a few preliminary and‘
perfunctory remarks, reaches up on a
shelf, takes down a package of notes,
and tells the bride to. take it in her
hand, if she hasn’t asked for it the ‘
very first thing. He then tells ’her
that the package contains $20,000,090
in Treasury notes, all in denomination
of $10,000 each. The bride is delight-
ed, of course, and when she goes back
home she talks for weeks about having
held $20,000,000 in her hand all at 0136;.

“Now this is all simply a gigantic
fraud on the young people. The Trees--

package’ is a gay deceiver. It does
contain notes to the amount of $20,—

cause they’re not signed. So, instead of

' the Story of a Man Who \Vas Evidently)
Down on His Luck.
The luck of a Randolph man is some-
thing surprising, according to his 10-
cal paper. On going ’to the cream-cry
on a recent morning he lost his horse
blanket, and on his way home he lost
his overcoat, says the Springfield “Ite-
publ‘ican. While unhitching his horse
one linoldback caught on the thill, and
the horse, struggling to free himself,
wasjthrown down and broke one of the
thills, the broken piece injuring the
horse in such a way that it will be of
no farther use. That same day he was
offered $80 for the horse before start-
ing for the creamery.
After all this had transpired he went
to his sugar house, and in turning the
faucets to the evaporator both broke.
Later in the day he called on a neigh-
bor, and while relating his experience
walked past the neighbor’s horse while
it was eating grain, and was kicked,
but fortunately was but little hurt.
The horse is a pet, and was never
known to kick before. He concluded
he had better go home, and asked his
neighbor to watch him to see that he
did not get killed.

Pupils of Professor Frederick Starr}

The brains of criminals and insané
persons are easily procured, and in.
teresting data have been gathered as
to what a person's brain should not
be. But to learn the appearance of the
brain of a norm-a1 person has been
hard. By examinations of these stu-
