Some
Breaches of Promise
By mTqUAD
Copyright, 1914. by A*aoclftt«4 Lit
erary Press. ___
Hiram Spooner was the homeliest
baby over born In the state of Ohio.
When Hiram was ten rears old he
was the homeliest boy in any two
states In this Union. At tweuty-on#
he barf tlie face of a baboon.
One day, after looking at him a long
time, his father said to him:
"Hiram, what In thunder is going to
become of you anyhow?"
"i'iu thinking it over," wns the reply.
After thinking things over for awhile
• ;iud having a very serious talk with a
fruit tret* agent Hiram announced one
Monthly morning that he had mapped
out a career for himself, and half an
hour later he drove away from the
farm with a hired horse and buggy.
Within a rndlus of ten miles wore
twenty-three widows. Fifteen had
been made such on one and the same
day by the falling of a highway bridge.
Not one of the women was poor, while
some had bank accounts. All had
seen Hi ram Spooner several times
over. Hiram bad prepared a list, and
lie began his calls according to card
system. As lie drove up to a house he
wriggled out of his buggy and wrig
gled ulong to the door, and when it
wns opened to him and be was invited
in lie began:
j "Widow ltlank, 1 am trying to do
-onicthiug to make a living. Did you
! know that you can grow two crops of
the Oklahoma cncmnber?"
"No. I never hoird of It."
"I sent and got some of the seeds.
Here they are. I shall charge you but
little more than for the ordinary seeds,
and you a have two crops In place
of one."
"Well. I will buy them to help you
along."
"That is kind of you. I need money,
but there are times when I fairly long
for a word of sympathy."
"1 know you must, and for years I
have wanted to tell you how very, very
sorry I was and am. There Is no one
in the world I pity as I do you. It
you Irve anything else to sell bring it
here"
Hiram had tears in his eyes as he
left the house, but before climbing
into his busgy lie took out bis mem
or. udnin book and made some entries
under the proimr date.
It took ever thirty days for bini to
get aiviin.l to the last widow, but he
finished bis business in good shape.
Half a dozen times his father had de
manded:
"See here. boy. what kind of n game
are you up to with the widows?"
"I'm pick!uk out the best of the lot
to proiKise to," was always the reply.
Soon .:s the last widow had bought
:i .• Oklahoma cucumber seeds to help
Hiram S|« oner along with bis laudable
ambitions and to raise a double crop
of cucumlter pickles the first one call
ed on received a note from Hiram.
It stated that his heart had been deep
ly touchcil by her kind words and, be
| iug sure in his own mind that it was
I a c .so of love at first sight with both
! of them, he had decided to accept her
generous offer and hoped that it would
i he no sacrifice on her nart. At what
date should the weuding take place?
j Was the betrothal to be announced
at once or later on? What minister
did she prefer? How many and what
| guests should be iuvlted?
i The widow read the note over the
! first time with wonder. The second
time she was amazed, and the third
I she gasjied out:
i w uy. wuar can rne crazy aonsey
I mean?"
I The widow wit down and wrote a
note repudiating everything, even t#
;he Oklahoma eucutuber seeds. These
, seeds bad been fed to the chlckeus Jast
before the note was written.
Ilirani came lmck with a written
statement that she had deceived him
and crushed his young and crippled
heart. She had led him to believe that
she loved hiui. and In return he had
giveu her all his affections. To be
thrown down now would be a blow
1 that he could never get over. No mon
•y could ever heal his feelings, but she
must reunite hiui to an extent as a
moral lesson to her not to fool with
the hearts of the male sex.
The negotiations consumed two
weeks, ami the widow paid over to
Hiram S300 rather tbau go Into court
Uis little game was worked on every
single one of the widows. From some
he got as much as J500 and from oth
ers only a single hundred.
Not until the very last did Hiram's
father understand what he had been
up to. and then he indignantly ex
claimed:
"1 orter to turn you outdoors or set
the law on you."
•"Hut you won't. It has long pained
me to see you working away on this
stony oM farm and not coming out $25
a year ahead of the game."
"And I've had a useless son to sup
port!" growled the father.
"But useless no longer. I hereby of
! fer you $1,500 for the old farm, and
you can bo my hired man at $30 a
month and board for the next ten
yon is."
Bat even the homeliest man in the
country may not hold his luck. An old
maid whom Hiram had bowed to and
smiled at as he drove around the coun
try brought a breath of promise suit
against him and took away from him
every cent he had. extorted from the
widows.
"The durned bump!"' exclaimed the
father. "Didn't he know that every
rule ever made is bound to work both
ways sometimes and throw a feller
: over the fence!"

Washington, D. C., May 9—The
exhibit board has decided not to j
distribute the Alaska exhibits at!
San Francisco at the Panama-Paci- j
fic International exposition, but u>
secure 5,000 6quare feet in the
mines building instead.
William Larose who, with his wit
has been iu charg« of the mail sta
tion roadhouse at Braeburn since
last fall, had a narrow escape from
bleeding to death ou the trail be
tween that place and Nordensklold
Tuesday evening of this week.
About 4 o'clock Tuesdav afternoo
and just after the White Pass stage,
of which Simon Fiendel whs driver,
had left Braeburn coming this way,
Mr. Larose had the misfortune to
cut a severe gash In his left fool,
practically splitting It between the
fourth and fifth toes alnust back to
the instep. With a temporary band
age on the foot, he started with a
team and bobsled for Nordensklold
to overtake the stage and come ou
to the hoepital at this place. The
rough traveling soon strrted the
wound bleeding and aft_r fainting
and recovering no less than six
times, the Injured man rilled from
the filed unconscious and the hors' -
pursued their way, coming after a
short distance to where Chas. Kudu
and Dan McDougall of this place
were camped for the night at a
point on the trail where they lnd
been repairing a bridge. The two
men hurried down the trail and
found Larose unconscious in the
snow. After being revived lie ex
plained his intentions, when Mc
Dougall came on to Nordenskiold
and reported his condition, Feindel
returning for him in the stage. The
nearly eighty-mile drive on to
Whitehorse was made without stop,
except to change horses, and was
completed at 3 o'clock yesterday
morning.
Mr. Larose is now in the hospital
where ha is resting fairly well after
his unpleasant experience. Twenty
stitches were put in the cut by Dr.
Clark.—Whitehorse Star.

Vancouver, B. C , May 13—Signi
ficant in its indication of possible
future policy is the inauguration
of a new Canadian Pacific Trans
Pacific service from Vaacouver to
Manila, Philippine Islands, via Jap
anese and Chinese ports. On June
11th, the "Empress of Russia," sis
ter sl ip to the "Empress of Asia,"
the tvo largest and fastest steam
ships on the Pacific, will be sent
to Manila from Vancouver via Yo
kohama, Kobe and Nagasaki. A
sensational feature is that these
steamers will cut the time frojn the
Pacific coast of North America to
Manila to seventeen days against
twenty-eight days, the fittest time
on any existing schedule from any
port on the Pacific coast. The "Em
presses of Russia" and Asia" are
each. 593 feet in length and 63 feet
in breadth and have a gross tonnago
of 16,850 with a displacement of

"Empress of Russia" has iue record
for ihe fastest trip a< roi , the Pac
ific, having done tho trick in nine
days and five hours as a?ainst near
ly eleven days, tho record time of
the "Empress of Jipau." Xo other
steaiueis on the Pacii'.c, sailing
from points south of Vancouver, 13.

week. The "Empresses" are espec
