Relationship Puzzles
It is a curious fact that a large
number of persons do much hard
and fruitless thinking as to their
* relationships to other people.
Puzzles in relationships have so
bothered some persons that they
have gone almost mad in trying
to solve them, and one man even
committed tuicide over the tout
4er. This man at the age of 50
accidentally asfertained that lie
was his own grandfather. His
worry over the discovery drove
h:m to attempt suicide.
The average reader will proba
bly doubt this, but ps the man
left the following autobiography
for the coroner, it must be as
sumed that it is true :
“1 married a widow who had a
grown up daughter. My father
visited us often, fell in love with
my stepdaughter and married her.
Thus, iny fatter became my son
in-law, and my stepdaughter, be
ing my father’s wife, became my
ste- mother. Soon after this dia
;tleasing complication arose, inv
wife gave birth to a son. This
son was tnv father’s brother-in
law and ray own uncle, since he
was a hi other to my stepmother.
My father’s wife also became the
mother of a boy. lie was, of
course, my brother and also my
grandchild, for he was the son of
my daughter. Also, tnv wife was
a grandmother, since she was my
mother’s mother. I was my wife’s
husband and grandchild at once.
At the same time, as the husband
of a person’s grandmother is the
person’s grandfather, 1 am my
own grandfather.”
Another man recently met a
friend, and, in the coursc of con
versation, remarked that his
wife’s mother was lus daughter'-in
law. lie was, of course, mistak
en, for she is his mothvi -iu-l iw,
but he is perhaps liappiet in not
know ing that.
A father and »» son involved
themselves by nianiage in very
tangled relationship. The son
chose an elderly woman, and the
fatt er mui t ied her daughter. A
child was born to each couple
within a year. The difficult ques
tion arose, “What relation was
one child to the* other?’’
Miss Minnie iieckeii hough. of
Minnesota, was married to her
un le’s brother’s niece’s brother
in-law. And, as is commonly re
marked, “it would take a Phila
delphia lawyer” to muse out their
relationship and perhaps even lie
couldn't.
James Milton, of Missouri, was
lately married to his sister’s broth
er-in-law's father’s sister. Ap
parently it woul J take consider
able time to unravel relationships
in that case.—Republic,
Prompt Payment
This is to certify that on tho
morning of Febauarj 22nd, 1902,
my house and the entire contents
thereof I mined to the ground, be
ing a complete loss. I had a pol
I icy of insurance in the Mutual
lusutsince Co., of Little Kock,
Ark., covering said property to
the amount of One Thousand
! Dollars. Their agents, Messrs.
J. A. Bates and C. T. Pledger,
were here on the day following
and made proof of loss for me,
which I mailed to the company on
the 24t.h of February On Mon
day, March 3, their adjuster, Mr.
Fugeue Miles, came and paid me
the full urouiit of my loss. This
certainly is insurance of the right
kind and one that anyone can de
pend ypon. There is no two
thirds or three-fourths clause in
their policy and their promptness
in not excelled by any other com
pany in existence. 1 cheerfully
reccoinmeud the Security Mutual
to any one desiring insurance and
«vould advise Mi my friends to
protect their property by a policy
in this company.
