George Woldon Has LiVRd in York- Jail Maby Years. When a young couple runs away to get married half the world says: "How the other half says: How silly!" But you can't tell either way.

until the "honey-moon is over. When this young couple get settled down to the regular hum-drum of life, they'll manage all right and fincl solid happiness in any case, if they have good hearts and sound health. AH depends on that. It's-wonderful how much health has to do with married happiness. Sickness affects the temper.

You can't be happy nor make, others happy if you're ailing. When you find yourself irritable, easily worried, beginning to "run-down" it's because your blood is getting poor. You need richer blood and more of it. Your blood-making organs need to be vitalized by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, It imparts new power to produce an abundance of the healthy, red corpuscles, and gives you a fresh supply of pure, rich mood.

In that terrible storm it wns certain death to stop and possible cleiitb to-go ahead. The track had long- bince been lost, and the horses were going- through the fenceless country, no one knew but they kept on traveling 1 until about midnight.

He is a great reader, nnd his books are all religious, philosophic and historical subjects. But nbove everything King Oscar is a poet.

Liquor makes him top heavy, and he lies down to sleep on the curbstone as in a feather bed. In spite of his hard life, he does not look his age by SO years. Dissipation has undermined a naturally strong constitution, and now he is physically unable t- 1 do hard work. Weldon is tall and spare, with astrng- llng growth of beurd. He is an unusually intelligent man.

He was born in Colchester, Essex county, England, in lfc'10, but he ha? forgotten the exact da-te. He received a good education, nnd after leaving school became shoemaker.

With a roost pleasing aud courteous manner, plain in dress in her private life, and easy of approach, she ia beloved and respected by the people over whom fate called her to rule. The crown prince is said to lack the attributes that have made his father so popular. He leans more toward a military regime, and is a great admirer of his relative, Emperor Wilhelm ot Germany, Austere and chilly in. his manner, he has never been able to arouse any enthusiasm among the Swedes.

He is highly respected, but the popular love and devotion tb'at other members of his house have beeji the recipients from the Swedes will probably not be his.

The keepers see that he is clotihed decently, and he more than makes up for his meals and lodging by the work he does around the prison. He is on omnivorous reader. He is perhaps the most lonely moil in the world. Weldon has lost all track of time. It does not matter to him what the.

His lost sentence for intoxication (the only crime lie has ever been guilty of) was three montha. He was sick, and when he got well he would not go away.
