L passenger trains was blown

larkable to state, no one on the
train was killed. Neither the fire-
iau nor engineer was injured,
four persons were injured, but not
eriously. ' .

“Pleasdd to meet you* duke,”
said O’Reilly. “Let me introduce
you to Miss O’Reilly.” ?,
The Duke and -Miss O’Reilly,
who was dressed for the occasion,
got along famously, Miss O’Reilly
doing most of the listening. Be
fore two hours had passed the Duke
came out of the parlor and said to
Mr. O’Reilly:
“Margaret and I love each other
devotedly. Will you give me her
hand in marriage?”
“Certainly, Duke,” answered Mr.
O’Reilly, gazing up at his cigar
smoke. “Margaret has always
longed for a title. Can I send for
a clergyman and have the ceremo
ny performed now?”
The Duke was delighted with
this, of course and answered heart
ily in the affirmative.
So they were married and the
drinks were on the Duke.

Why He Remarried Quickly.
A granger was in the Union Sta
tion, the other day, and was tell
ing of an occurrence on his farm*
says the Columbus Dispatch. One
of his employes was a German.
He was a hard-working, honest
and conscientious man, and was
married. His wife was taken sick
and finally died, the husband, of
course, leaving his work .for sever
al days m consequence. Two
weeks later he appeared at the
house of his employer and asked
to he relieved from /vork for a cou
ple of days, when the following
conversation took place:
“I vould like to get off for apout
twt> tays.”
“I can’t spare you unless it is
absolutely necessary. You know
you lost several days two weeks
ago, and we ‘ are behind in the
work. What is the ^necessity for
your getting off?” inquired the
farmer.
“Veil, I vas to be married. ”
“Why, Fritz, your wife died on
ly two weeks ago, and now you
are about to get married again? I
do not understand that.” -
“Veil,” replied the German, “I
don’t hold spite long.”
The farmer dismissed the case
without prejudice.

Carle J. Blenner supplies a study
ot a beautiful head for the cov

main article by Edwin Emerson,
Jr., is entitled “Automobiles To-

TbiB is a valuable contribution as
an account of the exact state of
automobile invention and accom
plish meut at the present time.
“Chinese Children’s Blocks,” by
I.T. Headland, and “Queer Uses
of Common Things, by Harvey
Sutherland, are both good samples
of the variety characteristic of
Ainslee’s. The first of these con
tains some curious sidelights on
the intimate life of the Chinese,
while the latter article is in "Har
vey Sutherland’s best vein—a
combination of common sense and
uncommon burner. “Iron and
Steel,”gby William J. Lampton, is
a dramatic picture af these enor
mous twin industries with copious
illustration. “John Muir: A
King of Outdoors,” by Adelina
Knapp, is a character, sketch of
the mountain explorer, enlivened
by interesting anecdotes bearing
on the life of a uniquely notable
man. G. Sheridan Dowell, in “A
Glance at Australia,” conveys
much useful information without
tedium, and furnishes some pict
uresque photographs.
Besides there'are good stories
by Joe Lincoln, R. OttoleUgui,

lent tale of Ohio life, “The Elope

Jeffries and Ruhlin to Fight*
New York, March . 26.—The
Journal and Advertiser says*.
James J. Jeffries and Gus Ruhlin
have about completed arrange-
ments to fight for the champion-
snip of the world in San Francisco.
In fact, they are practically match
ed. They have been offered a
date, July t, by J. J. Grool, manag
er and matchmaker of the National
Sporting Club of San Francisco.
The only hitch' is on the question
of the fighters’ share of the rer
ceipts. The club has .offered .the ,
men 60 per cent of the gross re
ceipts for a 20 or 25-round con
test. -
Billy Madden, manager of Ruh
lin and acting for the A'kron man,
has demanded 50 per cent of the
gross receipts and $500 for expens
es to San Fsancisco.
The question of the date is to
be left open to Jeffries, who de
manded this concession before he
would agree to make the match.
On other matters Jeffries has no
tified Madden that he will agree
to the terms asked by Ruhlin.
Madden and Ruhlin have been ne
gotiating with Grool for the past
three weeks and have been iu the
city daring that time. They ex
pect a definite reply to Madden’s
demand today.

“The Finest Photographs Ever
