Indignant Woman Takes Portrait of Dead Wife From Collection and Sends It to Relatives Shroud Box" Is Sold. Wilmington, Del. The personal effects of his former wife were of no use to R. Hopper Smith, widower, age 72, formerly sheriff of Queen Anne county, Maryland, so he sold them publicly. This was learned in an announcement from Smyrna, where the sale was held in front of a hotel.

This was the town In which Smith recently created a sensation by eloping with Mrs. Margaret C. Bailey, a wealthy widow of C8. The elopement followed the efforts of Mrs. Bailey's two sons, Frank and Daniel Bailey, to have her declared insane.

The aged bridegroom, who now occupies the Bailey mansion in Smyrna, went so far at the public sale as to dispose of a box labeled "gray shroud." It had contained the garment in which his former wife (the second) was burled. The sale attracted a curious crowd. In the front row of a pile of household goods framed portraits of the former wife were conspicuous. One woman friend of the family of the deceased wife, became so indignant that she appropriated one of the pictures. She sent it to the family.

Not only were the pictures in evidence, but the certificate of marriage of Mr. Smith's second wife to her first husband, Francis B. Bradbury, of Elkton, was put up for bids. It was sold, as were also family Bibles, one containing a complete family record, and a prayer book given to the dead wife by her uncle, the late Rev. John A.

Reach, and so inscribed. The shroud box was offered with a pair of blankets. When this was knocked down a number of the spectators became enraged. The former wife's friends declared that a shower of rotten eggs should stop the proceedings. This means might uave been resorted to.

but for wise counsel. When a handsome book secured from the effects was returned to a relative of the deceased wife It was prophetically opened to a clipping which read: "Honest love is preferable to shameful gain." This was written by the donor, the Rev. Mr. Roche, to his niece. The town is in a ferment over the affair.

DAN CUPID AND BIG FORTUNE If Woman Marries, $600,000 Legacy Is Hers; but She Already Has Husband. Milford, Conn. Bequeathed an estate of JCOO.OOO by an uncle if she will marry the man of his choice, but being already possessed of a husband and five children and barred from dl vorce because of her religion, is the dilemma In which Mrs. Mae Baldwin, of this place, finds herself and for which she is sorely perplexed to find a legal solution. The possibility of being married to a second husband In Utah has been suggested, but has also been set aside as ridiculous as well as repugnant.

Whether, under the circumstances, she might marry as prescribed in a mock wedding, claim the inheritance and then return to her legal first husband, is still being debated, but Mrs. Baldwin sees no rift through the clouds of doubt that surround the situation. The will of Mrs. Baldwin's uncle has just been opened and names her as sole heir. The sole proviso given is that she marry George Curtiss, who was her lover before she eloped with Baldwin.

Curtiss is one of the witnesses of the strange will, and Mrs. Baldwin believes that the unnatural provision conceals a trick to deprive her of her Inheritance. SHOOTS GIRL IN HIS SLEEP Father, Believed to Have Been Dreaming of Picture Show, Then Kills Self. Brooklyn, N. Y.

Following tlie shooting of his favorite daughter while he was walking in his sleep, Raffele Richetti, a carpenter, died from a self-inflicted bullet wound. The girl, Rosa, who is nineteen, is in a critical condition. Richetti shot his daughter, it is believed, while walking in his sleep and dreaming of a scene he had witnessed at a moving picture show a few hours before. The girl was asleep in her room when she was shot. The report of the pistol awoke Richetti, and, realizing what he had done, he sent a bullet into his own brain.

Both father and daughter were hurried to the Seney hospital, where strenuous efforts were made to save both, but the man only "lived a few hours. Prank Richetti, son of Richetti, ran Into the room when his father shot the girl, but could not reach the man 1e time to disarm him before he had shot himself. Rains Frogs In Georgia. Savannah, Ga. Chatham county has got a fresh supply of frogs, which the negroes credit to the rainstorm which swept over this section during the night.

The southern section of the city and adjacent suburbs were alive with the diminutive frogs. Roads, grass and ground for great distances were literally covered with the frogs In the morning. The, little visitors were very lively, all day dodging street cars, automobiles and hc-rsea. DISCOVER BABY FARM PHILADELPHIA POLICE GET TIP FROM INFANT'S BODY. Alleged Tots Can Be Purchased for $5 Each Woman In Cell for Connection With the Death of Child.

Philadelphia, Pa, Investigating the death of an infant that was found Bcantily clad and drenched by the rain, in an alley here, Coroner Ford made the startling discovery that there exists in Philadelphia a baby farm where innocent babea are bartered and sold. While the coroner listened aghast he heard from Special Agent Kinkaid of the Society to Protect Children From Cruelty, that women have attempted to coerce men into matrimony by getting babies from the farm and foisting them off as their offspring upon the men whom they sought to wed. From the lips of Lillian HInkle, he learned that she had purchased a baby for five dollars from the baby farm, and that she had plotted with her sweetheart gain the permission of his parents to their marriage by exhibiting the baby and declaring it to be their child. The woman was held, charged with the death of the child, by Coroner Ford, by special request of Assistant District Attorney Patterson, without bail, to await the action of the grand jury. With the HInkle woman was held Edwin Rose, who gave the same address as the woman.

He was charged with being implicated with the girl and was not admitted to baiL It was brought out in the testimony that Roae and the HInkle woman had been engaged to marry, but that the union was opposed by the young man's family. The woman admitted when questioned that she and Rose had schemed together to outwit his parents by buying the baby then declaring to his father and mother that the child was their own. Explaining the infant's death, she says It sickened suddenly, and she did not know what to do with it. When she found it dead in the morning, she says she walked the streets for hours carrying the body, and finally abandoned It In an alley. MUST NOW PRESS OWN PANTS California Officials Hit Hard by New State Rules Limiting Expenditures.

Sacramento. Cal. Any official of the state of California who cares to wear creased trousers on official business can pay for the creasing himself. The state does not recognize any responsibility In this direction. The official also will pay for the laundering of collars soiled in travel or else go on wearing them.

As for "valeting" there being no permissible terms strong enough to express the disapproval of the state board of control against such luxury. The new regulations, wherein are Eet forth these facts, simply say it is "not a proper charge against the state and will not be allowed." Necessity for confining expense accounts of state officials within cast iron rules Is said to have originated partly In the alleged conduct of a former state adjutant general, who on an official trip to Washington, went as far as to have his wrinkled uniform pressed at the Washington end of the trip and put the expense thus in incurred up to California's taxpayers. It never can happen again. Other restrictions fixed by the new board are $1 a day for hotel room rent, or $1.50 a day for train space; $3 a day for food off trains and an extra $1.50 on trains; no tips, no cabs, no special conveyances; vouchers for all expenses over $1 and itemized accounts for smaller sums. STORK LEFT $500,000 BABY Birth of Child Validates Bequest of Half-Million to the Infant's Parents.

Scranton, Pa. When the stork dropped into town on his usual rounds it called at the home of Charles R. Connell, nephew of former Congressman William Connell, and now Scran ton is boasting of a "half-million dol lar baby," while the boy's mother Is proudly displaying its charms to her friends and at the same time showing a $10,000 diamond sunburst, the gift of the proud father. Under the will of the baby's grandfather It was provided that if its father died without issue the estate was to go to the children of the former congressman, and inasmuch as Mr. and Mrs.

Connell had been married eight years without having their union blessed by children, it began, to look very much as if the behest of the will would stand. The arrival of the baby, however, sets aside this proviso of the will and the $500,000 will now remain in the other branch of the family, no provision having been made by the decedent for Its conversion in the event of the child's not living. Deer Eat Prune Crop. Forest Grove, Ore. According to reports from Philip Lesser, a farmer living three miles northwest of this city: deer are doing much damage in his prune orchard.

They have already caused considerable loss to the crop, The animals are unusually plentiful In this vicinity this season, and are coming bold. -YOU are grateful, say so. Thanksgiving is only half-thanksgiving till it blossoms into expression. Learn a lesson from the noble-hearted Indi an, in whose7 vil-tage the missionary, passing through, bad left a few pages of the gospel in the Indian tongue. Our Indian read and rejoiced.

Measuring the missionary's footprint, he fitted it with mag-aificent moccasins, and traveled 200 miles to give them to the missionary as an expression of his graftitude. Thus the missionary was enriched by the present, but the Indian was enriched by the thanksgiving. The best thanksgiving is a happy ieart. Blossoms mean nothing on a ieai stick. Once when the czar visited Pfcris the ingenious French, it being winter, fastened to the bare roughs of the trees innumerable paper lowers, very pretty as a spectacle, but unworthy as a symbol, since they were false.

Our praise will be quite valueless unless it is rooted in the daily life. Traia yourself to be grateful for the MSiTOJtL blessings. There had been a "Saf cotton famine in Lancashire, England. For lack of material to work upon, the mills had been idle for months, and there was great distress among the operatives. At last came the first wagon-load of cotton, )t Spirit of THANKSGIVING day stands out by itself on the calendar.

There is no other day with so many delightful associations and tender memories, no day udoii which the heart so spontaneously pours out its grateful tribute to the Father above for all his goodness through the year. And this applies equally to ourselves as a nation, as communities and as individuals. For peace within our borders, for generous harvests, for the health and welfare of our communities, we owe to God a debt of love and gratitude which finds expression in prayer, praise and the festivities appropriate to the annual festival of Thanksgiving. We are usually so Tiauch engrossed with the active business of life as a nation that we leave too little time for reflection on the divine goodness; yet every day we are surrounded by blessings. Sleeping and waking, on the farm, in the store, the office, the workshop we are still the objects of his" won' iwus bounty and care.

Whatever re Y1 mm the earnest of returning opportunity to labor. With what new eyes did the people look upon that commonplace material! They met the wagon In an exultant procession. They hugged the bales. At last, moved by a common impulse, they broke out In the noble hymn, "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow." There are in every life a thousand blessings, now little noticed at all, of which if we were deprived, their return would be welcomed with equal transports. But the going does not excuse us from the sending any more than sending excuses us from going.

If giving still went by the rule of the tenth, as in the scriptural days, then ten average Christians could anywhere constitute themselves into a church and support a pastor; and twenty could support both a pastor and a missionary. No work is done at its best until it is done in an atmosphere of thanksgiving. Beethoven understood this. He had his piano placed in the middle of a field, and there, under the smiling sky, with birds singing around him, flowers shining and grain glistening in the sun, the musician composed some of his great oratories. Few of us can take our work into the fields, though all of us would carry lighter hearts if we would live more out of doors; but we can all of us surround our work with cheery atmosphere which our Father has breathed into all his works.

verses we encounter, he enables us to overcome them. So, while the passing year has had its sorrows, we feel that the. Joys have outweighed them, and that we are still God's debtors in thanks for multitudinous blessings. -L-ei us snow our gratitude for all of these mercies by reaching out hpin. ing hand to others who have been less fortunate than ourselves.

Rv member the poor at Thanksgiving the sick, the destitute, the hungry, the unemployed. In every community there are those to whom a kindly word or a generous hospitality would bring a real touch of the snirlt nf th festival. Pass on your blessings. By so coing, you will make your own heart the lighter, your own home the brighter and your own Thanksgiving tame more enjoyable to all who ait around it. Thank Him for All.

"Giving thanks for all things unto God." Eph. v. 20. Thanksgiving is the mark of a truly religious man. If we are always begging God for his mercies without expressing to him our sincere gratitude, wo become selfish in our demands.

God delights to impart his mercies to us, but he also takes pleasure in our gratitude to him for his benefits. Onlv an appreciative heart is able to fully enjoy God's unfailing goodness. It is certain that the more we trv tn. praise, the more we will see how our patn ana our daily way are ben -ant mercies, and that the God of lore is eter watching to do us erood- and old.
