II GENEROUS
HUSBAND?
More amasiuc eveu than the renun
ciation of Mrs. Frederick Earle was
that of Wallace Milter, a carpenter, of
23 Bentcard avenue. Newbury. X. Y.
After striving by kindness and argu
ment for Ave years to dissuade his
wife from going west to join an affini
ty In Salt Lake City he reluctantly
agreed to her departure, sold house
hold furniture to provide her with
funds for the trip and accompanied
her and a son. who went with her. to
the railroad station.
No "artistic temperament" gives an
excuse for this peculiar situation The
s:;k i-komi-.} :j suitii r::e vtovld join
urn.
?V; rtiirv of th;> v.- itn.iu is the climax
o." :i love v. ulf!; I twonrv
years ago In the village" ofTlne Bush,
N. Y.. where lived Miller, Charles
Smith and Carrie Wells. Playmates
, from earliest childhood. Miller and the
girl married while lu their teens. Now,
with his eleven-year-old daughter and
a son little older, he sits lu his home a
, desolate man, clinging to the hope that
before h;-? wife reaches SRlt Lake City
I she will repent and return to him.
' Then," he says, "we will go to some
! uew place nu,; start anew. For thu
' sake of my children I will do anything.
1 would not. oil Id not, say a word
agalust my vlfe. She has always
been true, and If I were not feellug
well she would do anything to make
me comfortable. So 1 Jiave no word
of blame for her, only regret that she
Is goue and regret that the story has
gone abroad."
When Charles Smith was sixteen he
left Pine Bush and went west He
was engaged to marry Carrie Wells,
j but her family disliked him and. It Is
said. Intercepted his letters to the girl.
Finally the girl believed Smith dead.
Two years L?ter she married Miller.
For two months they were lu bliss.
ThM Smith returned." It was a shock
to the young wife. It" Is said that they
had . a talk, aiul she promised Smith
that if ever she had an opportunity ahe
would join him. ?.
For many years the husband know
nothing of this. Smith had married.
, aud his wife died. He came to New
burg and opened a meat market To
Newburg also came Miller and his
| wife.
ATter a tiuie Smith went west agalu.
I About the years ago Mrs. Miller told
: hor husband of her love for Smith and
asked Miller then to let her join Smith,
j Miller tried to argue his wife out of
1 the uotion. He was only partly suc
cessful. The conversation was renew
ed at Intervals. Finally Miller was
forced to a<!intt that neither he ,uor
the wife conid have any peace of mlud
while she remained, and he reluctant
ly consented to lier golug. To provide
means for her departure be practically
stripped the house of Its furniture.

"Yes," remarked old Uncle Jasper
after much meditation, "de good par
son sed et was de apple tree dat caused
all de trouble lu d>r world, but I think
et must have l>eeu de banana tree."
"And why do yo" think et was do
banana tree. Brudder JaspahY" asked
Dcacan "Pewberry curiously.
"Because troubles am Ink bananas?
dey always come lu bunchec."

Sleeping cv.T-y nlxht for a "week lo o
paratlnl residence ?vith<>iit the knowl
edge ?>r ti.e, <>.'f*!i|innts, changing rooms
once I oeniiKe cue was too cold and
finally demanding a farewell breakfast
at the point of a revolver and bidding
n polite adieu to Miss Knnnte Domini,
the mistress of the household, au un
Ideutltled hobo accomplished what ha?
pro! : lily never before been attempted
by a specimen of his species. I
The residence whore the tramu
lodged so lon;^ Is situated at 527 South
Rarltau street, Denver, and Is the
property of M. A. Rayuard. Miss Dom
ini. who lives In the big house, Is a
cousin of the owner. Miss Domlui was
busy about her household work when
she was startled by a sound. Turning,
she beheld a befrazzled hobo, who
bowed politely and said: "Now, don't
youse scream or faint, loidy. I wou'l
holt youse. It's me wot's a perfect
gent. All I wants Is a little scofllus
before I leave dis house, where I has
spent so many happy hours."
The hobo then told Miss Domini,
who was too dum founded to interrupt,
that he had been in the habit for the
past week of entering the house by the
celltfr way to sleep, lie slept In the
cellar the first three nights, and when
Miss Domlul's maid was washing in
the basement >Jie was hiding within a
few feet of her. The hobo found the
basement too cold, he said, so aftor all
In the place had retired he went to the
attic, where It was warmer, coming
down occasionally when he desired to
secure provender from the icebox on
the back porch.
In the politest terms he demanded
his breakfast, aud when he exhibited
a revolver with Its muzzle turned away
from Miss Domini he got what he de
sired. After he had eaten a large
meal he disappeared, going south. Miss
Domini reported the case promptly to
the police, but the brazeu yet humor
ous hobo canuot now be found.
