lowing the Engagement An
nouncement,
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—BSixty-eight per
forvid love letters, each breathing un
dying affection and the most passion
ate devotion, will be introduced in
evidence in a sult for $50,000 for al
leged breach of promise filed in East
Bt. Louis on behalf of a Chicago club
and sorority girl against Arnold Sted
man Ernest, son of Finis P. Ernest,
mullimillionaire real estate operator
of St. Louis and Denver,
The plaintiff is Miss Ruth Roy
Btout. Miss Stout is now 21 vears
old, pretty, graceful and accom
plished. She is popular among the
younger set of the Edgewater Wom
an’s Club and other North Side soclal
circles. :
©Only the praecipe of the suit has
been flled by Miss Stout's attorney,
James E. Callahan. He is now pre
paring the declaration, which, he
says, will uncover one of the most
ardent wooings ever related in or out
of a courtroom.
Wooed for Eighteen Months.
“he woolng of Miss Stout, covering
eighteen months, punctuated at short
intervals by the love letters . from
Ernert, ended abruptly on September
1 last, one month from the time de
clared to have been set for the wed
ding.
Young Ernest, who {s a member of
the Bast St. Louis Gasoline Company
and wealthy in his own right, is said
to have fled to Texas to escape being
served with a summons in the suit.
He is 27 years old.
The wooling by the young capitalist,
which found its climax in the an
nouncement of the engagement in
Chicago papers on August 24, the set
ting of October 1 for the wedding day
and the purchase by Miss Stout of a
SSOO wedding troussesu, began when
the young people were introduced at a
soclal gathering in Chicago :
“Proposed Nex: Day.”
The very next day, Miss Stout told
her attorney, she received a letter
from Ernest. In which he declared he
loved her and wanted her to marry
him.
On March 21 last he wrote, accord
ing to one of the letters exhibited by
Miss Btout:
“l 1 love my little girl so mue¢h and
dertainly hate to be away from her, as
I know you miss me as much as I do
you. Dearest, you are all in the world
1 have, so do he careful, as I some
times feel frightened about you. Will
write again to-morrow, dear heart,
and don’'t think me neglecting you, as
I love you so much, Always yours,
“ARNOLD.”
“Dearest Little Girl.” |
On August 14, ten days before the
announcement of the engagement,
Miss Stout declares she received the
following letter from her fiance:
“Dearest Little Girl—lt will be a
few days longer, dearest; just think!
To-day is the 14th, and we will only
be separated one month and a half;
then 1 will come to get you, dearest,
and you will be all mine. My bwsl-i
ness is as zood as ever, and when fall
comes I will be in a still better posi
tion to take care of a wife
“ARNOLD.”
The letters ceased Sentember 1, and
eight l!etters written by Miss Stout
remalined unanswered, she dnr‘nre.fl,f
until September 29, when she recelved |
a brief letter saying Ernest had ’wnn|
il and asking that the wedding be de- |
ferred for three weeks Pinkerton de
tectives employed by Miss Stout M’"'
declared to have found Ernest was .n’
Nis usual health |
Miss Stout has turned over to her |
lawyers a number of other letters ,-hr-'
recelved from Ernest when he was
tending a “gas tank” in PFast 8t
Louis. in which he made none too sly
allusion to the "little homae™ lnfl'
sald that withisd a few dave he was
going to take her away from her|

Thinks Gas Affected Letters,
*“1 think some of the Standard Ol

piness,
“Good-by, sweetheart, with much
love and kisses, “ARNOLD."
“Sweetheart, I love you more every
day, and the time can not come tou
quickly for me when I will be able to
hold you, sweet, and call you mine,”
he wrote In another letter. “You have
no idea how much I miss you, dearest.
I know no one here except business
men, and I never do anything, so you
can see I miss you more than if 1
had a number of girl friends.”
Refers to “Day of Days.”
Then Miss Stout displayed another
letter, written one I'riday, In which
Ernest mentioned “the Ist of Octo
ber” as the “day of days.”
“Just read that,” she said. “If that
isn't a promise to marry me, then I
don't know one.”
The letter read:
“lI am counting the days untfl the
time comes, and find, dearest, that
there are only 60 more days before I
take you away from your dear moth
er.
“Just think--the Ist of October. 1
am at the filling station now and have
to Jump every few minutes to fill a
Ar with gas. Write me a long let
ter, dearest, and remember [ love
you more every day, and theist of
October 18 not very far off. Yours
always, dearest. Many kissos,
“ARNOLD.”
After detalling some troubles with
the “gas” Arnold wrote In another
letter: -
“I haven't written mach, but have
been thinking of you a lot and miss
my twin girl a great deal. I look al
your ploture more every day and feel
so good when | think you will soon be
mine, ARNOLD."
Change of Mind Noted,
Aunother letter, written after Miss
Stout had given uo a position In ex
pectation of her marriage, read:
“How strange that you should leave
your position at this time of year. bt

NEW YORK, Dec. 4—Mrs, Robert
F. Stone was dressing in her home at
No. 666 West One Hundred and Ninety
first street to go to a birthday party
when she decided to hear her dlamond
pansy brooch., Going to a closet she
reached down for an old palr of shoes.
To her horrified surprise she sudden-
Iy remembered she had sent them to
the cobbler, and with them her SSOO
brooch, for Mrs. Stone had formed a
habit of using these shoes for a Jow
elry case
She called up the Fourth Branch De
tective Burean. Accompanied hx a de
tective or two she hurried to the cob
bler and demanded her shoes. The
cobbler was just mending one. Mrs,
Stone grabed the other shoe and, reach-
Ing to the toe, drew forth the brooch.

‘"Wouldn’t Have Missed Experi

Rosalind Bry, |
BT. LOUIS, Dec. 4 —Every morn-
Ing for a week Miss Rosalind Bry, 20,
daughter of Nathan Bry, a wealthy
retired cloak manufacturer, rode to
Broadway and Locust street in her
ita.ther's limousine, then got out and
walked to Nugent's store, arriving
‘there in time to begin her work as a
salesgir] in the shirtwaist department
at 8 o'clock.
It was her adventure in business
life. She had said she could “make
good” as a shopgirl, and friends hadl
sald she couldn't. She went to the
store, giving the name of Gladys Rae,
and got a place as a beginner, at $6 a
week,
So far as she knows, no one at the
store learned who she was. As proof
that she did “make good,” she exhib- :
its her ‘“second week” card, entitling
her to return to work, and thus certi
fying that her first week's work was
satisfactory.
Bhe will not go back to work, but
she will have a new understanding of
business life and a greater respect and
conslderation for those who wait on
her at store counters,
Shopgirls Not Bad as Painted.
Miss Bry says she did not have any
profound sociological study in view
when she undertook her week's work,
but that she kept her eyes open, and
that she found salesgirls not at all the
Bum-chewing, slang-slinging lot that
they have been represented in some
popular short stories., They compare
most favorably with some of their
customers, she declares.
Most of the alang she heard in the
store came from the other side of the
counter, Miss Bry asserts. The girls,
she says, were in nearly all cases
careful in their language, not only in
Speaking to customers, but in address
ing each other,
She also found the girls friendly
and helpful. Those working near her |
¢id everything that she could have de- .
'sired to show her gs to her duties and
to encourage her. The first two du,\'s‘
she became very tired of standing up,
but the others assured her that she
| would get used to being on her feet all 1
|dav. and she did
While she thinks she kept her iden
tity secret from the other giris, she
could not keep the fact of her employ
ment wholly from her friends, a num
|ter of whom saw her while they were
|shopplnu, She talked over the coun
ter with sume of these friends, who
entered into the spirit of her adven
ture and did not stay long enough to
make the other girls suep clous
| Couldn't Trust Some.
| Some acquaintances, whose discre
|tion she could not trust, she ‘“saw
{ first” and avolded, by turning her back
jto the counter and busying herself
, with the stock.
{ BShe found it hard to rise in time to
| get to work at 8, and to save time she
| took the famlily limousine, but never
rode all the way to the store in it, lest
her secret should be disclosed She
also spent a little more on her daily
lunches than most of her assocjates in
the store did. She wore a blue serge
suit, with plain white silk shirtwaist,
while at work. Her number as an em
ployee was “07."
“lI wouldn’t for anything have miss
ed meet'ng all those fine girls behind
the counter,” says Miss Bry
| “Just think! While I have been
’plunmng new frocks and going to
| dances those dandy girls have been
working away down there and I never
' knew they existed. And in the short
week I waa thers | grew genuinely
fond of them, and I do not intend to
let the friendshipdrop, either.” |

Breaks' Bad Mounts After Men
Have Sold Them as Too Dan
gerous to Ride.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4.~1n a
field near Swarthmore College a girl
who s believed to be the only woman
horsebreaker in the world goes quiet
ly about her ddily business of taking
the temper out of half-wild équines,
No one is there to see, but it is a
show that has all the exciting fea
tures of a broncho exhibition, with
the added Interest that the ‘“buster”
is a sglender little woman.
Miss Betty Brown, the woman
horsebreaker, says she took up the
business because she knew little
| about anything but horses. For two
years Miss Brown was a trainer for a
New York firm,
Besides taking unbroken horses.
belonging to dealers amd training
“them for saddle or harness, Miss
Brown buys ill-tempered animals on
her own account, and by special
treatment makes them fit for a child
to ride.
How She Cures Horses.
“There is usually a reason for a
horse belng vicious,” she said from
her geat, cross-saddle on a splendid
thoroughbred.
“Take the case of this mare. I
|bouxht her for a song because her
owner could do nothing with her. 1
traced her history and found she had
been attached to a racing stable,
where a lot of half-grown boys used
her for joy rides around the track
The consequence was that a good
mare was almost hopelessly spolled
by a lot of frollcsome young fellows
who would yank her out of the stable
at all hours, pull her around, swear
at her, kick and beat her and ride her
with or without a saddle at the fast
est gait they could get out of her.
“Naturally, the mare became pos
sessed of the idea that all men were
born enemies and every chance she
got she tried to protect herself or got
even with her tormentors. They re
plied in kind, and the last gleam of
good-natured intelligence soon was
beaten out of her.
Work Is Dangerous.
“The fact is, she is a splendid mare
and if I can but bring back her origi
nal sweetnees of temper and undo the
havoc done by that pack of boys I
| shall be able to sell her for SI,OOO
ieulil,\'. If 1 can not do this she will
still be worth more than I gave for
her, She'ls quite untrustworthy now
'land it will be a long fight to bring
her around, but I think I shall win
’ “It's interesting work I vary it by
teaching riding, but I llke horse
breaking best There is a certalr
amount of risk about it, but I have
never been hurt My natural quick
| ness has gaved me at critical times.”

Value of Honey and Wax Crops

SEATTLE, WASBH., Dec. ¢—~The

Trevor Kincald, of the department of

“The bees Industry in Western
Washington will expand with the de
velopment of gardening and fruit
growing,” said Professor Kincaid.
“Comparatively little land is eculti
vated in this section at present, and
there are too few nectar-producing
plants. Basswood and the clovers, if
planted in the vicinity, would make
the industry more profitable.”
The value of the honey and wamx
crop reaches in the United States
$26,000,000 a year, he explained, so
that from an economic standpoint the
insect is of great interest. The bee
appears in literature, from that of the
Greeks to the dpresent day writings,
and voluminous works have been
written about it. From the blological
standpoint it ig also of great interest
on account of its special adaptations.
Professor Kincald illustrated with
