8 A Foolish Widow but a Lucky Tramp. A short time ago there appeared In De chard, Frank I iu county, Tenn.,n tramp, who represented himself ns being an Immlgraut from Newport, bearing the name of Thomas M. Bbepburd, ami a painter by trade. lie wag employed on severe! Jobs of painting iu the tieighborhood. A Mrs. Williams, a wealthy widow, employed Bliephoid to paint n house for her, and while In ber em ploy won the fair lady's heart, and in addi tion thereto her hand. Much to the sur prise of everybody the two were married. As soon as the ceremony was preformed, the gossip mongers of Dechard began to talk, and many and various were the ru mors that floated through the little town about the rich widow mairying a tramp. In Dechard resides a physician named Thomas Shepherd. A letter was sent a few days ago to the tramp Bhepbcrd from Mr. James Pagan, of Newport. The letter, aftor mentioning some other matters, went on to tell that Shepherd's wife and family, who live In Dayton, Ky., were well, and that Mrs. Bhopherd had considerable diffi culty in supporting the children. By mis take the letter, when it arrived in Dechard, was put iu Dr. Shepherd's box. The doc tor, thinking it was for him, opened it, but was unable to understand it until the marriage of Mrs. Williams and tho New port Bhopherd, when the mystery was solved. The doctor put It in the hands of Mrs. Williams' friends, and to them it appeared that Mr. Shepherd was guilty of bigamy. They had him arrested and taken to Winchester, Tenn. In Newport they found that Mary 11. Shepherd had obtained a decree of divorce from him cm the 3d of October, 1874, on the ground of drunkenness and inhuman treatment. A telegram was immediately sent to Win chester, whereupon Shepherd was dis charged. Whou ho was arrested he stated that he hat) been married and had children living. It is evident that he has captured the heart of Mrs. Williams, for she stuck to him during all his troubles. Mrs. Williams is worth in the neighborhood of $100,000. Cincinnati Enquirer, Five Tramps Who Demanded Pie or Blood. The Dubuque (Iowa) "Telegraph" says : At an early hour Tuesday afternoon a -crowd of tramps, five in number, invaded the front yard of Mrs. John Waller's resi dence, and after tramping down all the grass, breaking the bushes and plucking the fruit from the trees, they planked themselves before Mis. Waller's frontdoor and demanded food. "No broad for us," said oue. "We want pie, or cake, or blood." Mrs. Waller, who is a kind-hearted lady, immediately went to her larder and never worked harder to find each doggy a bono. Wrhen their appetites wore appeased, the tramps took possession of the best and soft est furniture in the house and bold it down live straight hours, until three more of the army arrived. And then nil fell to having a big timo. Mrs. Waller could not got rid of them, and the evening, what remained of it, was allowed to speed on wings of pleasantuess. Cake, cream and ice water helped to do the refreshing for the "surprise party," who did no further mischief. The Machine was Worn Out. Why ? Not because it was not well built, but it was wrongly run. Thousands of men who have run down long . before their threescore and ten years are accom plished, might have been renewed into sprightliness and vim if they had tried the well known Peruvian Syrup, which contains among its compounds tho Protoxide of Iron, so combined that it assimilates with the blood and invigorates the whole1 system. This syrup has proved efficacious in thousands of cases, and will do everybody good who uses it. All druggists keep it. A Place Where Work is Plenty. The hard times that the country is pass ing through makes, good times and plenty of work in the land oflioe. Just now there is a perfect rush for publio lands, thoufauds coming to secure a homestead in the West than it will to hang around the crowded cities. In this tbey are more than half right. It is estimated that the number of settlements will nearly double those of last year. This increaso is so large that it keeps the office bard at work. The Government, bowover, lias land enough, although the various railroad and other corporations have gobbled up a great deal, to last a great many years yet. A Very Mean Man. Cincinnati, July 24. A suit for $75, 000 was brought to-day against Geo. W. Barger, a wealthy contractor, of this city, by Mrs. Fanny W. Meeks, who claims that she picked him up when a boy, cared for him, educated him and finally advanc ed him $28,000 to begin life with, with the understanding that he was to care for her when she became old. Barger is very weathly, having made a fortune in city contracts. Dei Moines' Last Mystery.
