to the twentieth century, waid : "Only
four bh minors more; four autumns
more ; four wintero more ; four tarings
more, and then tho clock of timo will
etriko tbo death of tho old century
and tho birth of tho new." It is easy
to forget, reeal!n tbo Pathfinder, that

'Tho Atlanta Constitution remarks:
Ou,t in Indiana an old lady ot seventy
fonr offered S20,)00 for a young bus
1'ft'id. An enterpriring fellow of twenty-six
camo forward, but tho woman's
family mod out a writ of lunacy to
prevent hir from marrying. Tho jury
pronounced her nine, and sho eloped
with her i urchaso and married him.
Tho Chicago llecord in commenting on
this case makes tho point that a short
timo ago a jonng woman in New York
wanted a husband with a title, and not
him lifter n big e:tsh sum of several
million ilulhir. had been nettled upon
li i in by her relatives. Nobody hinted
that tho New York girl was iiiMine.
Ou tho contr.iry society thoiu-ht that
tho bad distinguish! d In r-eli. Our
Cliieii",!) contemporary tlnnks that it
makes a dihYrcncu when tho juir-cLa-ed
husband in un imported artielo
with a title. If bo is a homo product
tho woman w ho oilers it good prico for
him is supposed to be crazy.
Tho Italians imported by Austin

tho Now York Post to bo superior iu

At their new homo wan to conduot re

tho kindness bestowed upon them.
They wtro heartily welcomed at Run

intention to become citizens. Other
