There is an amusing story told of the
fcusband of a clever New York literary
woman, a well known writer of many
books whioh have been translated into
many languages. Before her marriage
to her present husband she was what is
called a "fasoiuating widow."
The man who was fortunate enough
to win her affeotions most also have
had fascinating qualities, for the young
woman, who tells the story at her own
expense, acknowledges that in a few
meetings she bad discovered that her
heart was dangerously susceptible. In
one of a few visits which the gentleman
had made to the young woman's honse
as the guest of a masculine relative, he
had annonnoed a coming trip abroad,
and, among the attractions of the voy
age, that he was to be seated beside the
oaptain of the steamer at table and op
posite a oharming widow.
The voyage was dnly made, and again
the same man was a guest at the same
house. The young woman may have had
a speoial interest in the visitor's com
panions during his voyage, for she asked
immediately, "And did you Bit at the
captain's table, and did you sit opposito
the charming widow?"
She might have noticed that her
words were received with some embar
rassment, but she was unoonscious of
anything unusual in her questions.
They were answered in the affirma
tive. "The woman was Mrs. Blanking
ton-Blank," added the guest.
"Well, the man who marrieB her may
•xpeot to lose his identity," said tho
young woman, with apparent irrele
vancy. "He will never be known, ex
cept as Mrs. Blankington-filank's hus
band."
"Yes," acquiesced the mail,' "that is
what I expect to be. We are to be mar
ried on blank day of blank."—New

Vat After the Millionaire Had Identified

Probably no town of its size has a*
many very rich men as Colorado Springs.
••They have millionaires to burn,'• said
gentleman who recently visited there.
"Colorado Springs is the home of W.
ft Stratton, the man who a few years
ago was at work with a jaokplane, earn
ing a scanty living, but who is now the
possessor of anywhere from $15,000,000
to $80,000,000," said my friend. Strat
ton does not have the appearance of a
man borne down with a weighty pooket
book. Muoh of the time he goes about
in olothes a tramp might object to.
When he had, in a couple of yearB,
oleaned up the paltry sum of $4,300,
000—or $8,000,000 a year—himself
and family thought they would like a
vaoation. They concluded to make a
trip to California.
"The next day Stratton went to Den
ver on business. His banker had notified
him that he had made a mistake of
$850,000 in his bank account. He had
that mnoh more in the bank than he
thought he had. Upon investigation he
discovered that he had sent the bank a
cheok for that amount, just taken from
the sale of his mine, which .be had
noted. That matter cleared up, Mr.
Stratton thought he would see about
getting tickets for the California trip.
As usual, he had on a rather shabby
suit.
'Have you got a bargain in tioketa
to California?' asked Stratton.
'The olerk looked him over oarefully

'Certainly, but we have no job lot

'Let me see. I shall have to take

"I'm sorry, sir," said the polite

When he had got over the threshold,
the suave olerk smiled a sort of pensive

On Verdi's recent birthday—his

seen at 6 o'olook in the morning at the
Weekly market at Placenzba with sev

He also wished to buy a cow and some
vegetables, and so spent the entire day
surrounded by farmers and tradesmen.
At 6 o'olock in the evening he invited
the whole assemblage into the inn and
gave them a fine supper.
