GIRL POSED AS BOY STRANGE CASE IN A PLATONIC marriage revealed by AN OPERATION. WOMAN WED AS MAN POUR YEARS Sijpposed Husband, Through Mental Aberration, Believed Herself to Be a But Lived Apart, San Fiaiicisco, Nov. iions regarding a marriage eon- Iracted nearly four years ago by Dr. Alice Rush, a prominent Oakland phy- fo a young woman who posed as a man and was known as Rollin K. Morgan, a medical student, make most remarkable story from a psychic point of view.

Not only was Dr. Bush deceived for three and a half years, after a Platonic marriage, but it is held that owing to peculiar aberration of the mind known to science, the supposed husband actually believed herself to he a man. The discovery that Rollin K. Morgan was a woman was made by Dr. distinguished medical associate, Dr.

Florence M. when the latter was summoned by Dr. Bush to perform an operation for appendicitis. In 1903, young Morgan, as he was known, came to California and proved himself a distinct cousin of Dr. Bush.

The latter gave the cousin a position, driving her carriage, and became fond of this relative. She accepted the attentions of Morgan, and as she wanted to take him under her care, the platonic marriage w'as arranged and carried into effect. The ceremony was performed at Oakland, January 1, 1904. After that the pretended husband continued to live in San Francisco, studying medicine and i)aying occasional visits to the office of the woman, who believed herself to bo legally a wife. Miss Morgan, when a little girl living with her parents in a small New' Hampshire town, had a morbid desire to be a boy.

She thought as a boy, and as much as possible, lived like a hoy. The girl was masculine only in mentality and temperament. So per- Bistent was she that when she was 10 old she donned clothing and would wear no other. In this $2.50 Shoes.

Articles of Small Cost That Are Sure to Make a Hit. The woman who wishes to make a present to a wealthy friend who has seemingly no need of anything you can afford to buy will be sure to make a hit If sbe makes her three or four protectors inU which can be slipped dell- cate clothes. Choose a close cheesecloth In any pretty, delicate color. A soft gray is serviceable and washes without fading. Use the width of the material, doubling It across at the top and sewing the two sides and the bottom in a seam.

Cut a small hole In the middle of the top fold and from it cut a straight slit about a yard long dowm the middle of the front piece. Bind around the hole and down each side of the slit with three-quarter inch white tape. The opening can be cut back and hemmed, if preferred, or can be bound with narrow wash ribbon in a contrasting color to the cheesecloth. Fasten tapes at each side of the neck opening and about six inches apart to the bottom of the slit. If the covers are intended as gifts and if there are several women In a family it is a good idea to work three initials on the cheesecloth just below the opening.

Use white mercerized cotton and pad well underneath to make the letters raised. This marking is a convenience to tell whose frock the bag contains without opening it For the Traveler. A dainty convenience for traveling is a little safety pin case made of linen and embroidered in a conventional design. Two pieces of stiff paper or cardboard are cut the size of the oval in the design, and one piece is for the cover of the case, the other for the back. The design may be transferred to the linen by means of carbon paper and embroidered In a plain Kensington i b.

Two pieces of white flannel with pinked edges are sewed sai ety xun case in at the top to hold the safety pins. Pins of different sizes may be put into the flannel, and a few black safety pins will be found useful.

16--Governor Hadley decided yesterday to forego his trip to Chicago, where he wa.s billed for a speech before the National Farm Land congress, and turn his attention to the for pardons which have piled i.p in bis office since Frank Blake resigned as pardon attorney to become insurance commissioner. The governor has not appointed a pardon attorney, but has under consideration two men, and he will appoint one of them. A penniless young wife with her 5-weeks-old baby has caught the sympathy and her appeal to him for a pardon for her husband was largely responsible for him giving up his Chicago trip. He wants to give this case attention at once. GOVERNOR Son-In-Law af Roosevelt Said to Be Candidate.

A practical idea is to take a hoop from a butter tub, make notches In the wood and tie it together tightly before winding with the ribbon. It takes only a few minutes to make the ring, and the ribbon and bells are inexpensive. Any one who has a few moments to spare might make half a dozen or so and send them to some home or hospital, for there is always sure to be some very wee ones there. Table Cover Design.

The disease is caused by an excess of uric the blood, which comes from indigestion, weak kidneys, ana other irregularities of the system. This uric acid produces an and acrid condition of the blood, and the circulation, instead of nourfshlng the different portions of the body, continually deposits into nerves, joints and bones, the irritating and pain-producing it is filled. Then follow the painful and torturing symptoms of Rnsinilraim. We do not claim for S. S.
