aAlNsT *5000-AN OLD SUITOR95 CERANCL-AN ENGAGED COUPLE MADE A BET WHERECBY THI WILI' GETMARRIED, ANYHOW. ()f ail féoish and nonsensical wagers thoSe made in the .months just before Presidential electios are the most4 ri -diculous. This year the most extraordinary urager, which in possible result.s is bead and shoulders above everything else yet publicly recorded, has been muade in Laporte, Ind. It has rernain- cd for Elkhart County. in the territory of the Hoosiers, to produce a bet that wilJ end in the divorce court or the continuance of a happy domestic coupie's life, with r- bouse and lot to boot. ' A, wife, the compan4on of ber hus- -band for twenty-five years, has been wagered against a bouse and lot valued at $5,00o. William Corbus and George M. Bar- nmelI are the parties to this unique con- tract. Corbt;s is a Republican whose faith in the election of McKinfey can- not be shaken, while Barneli, a Derno- crat of the Jackson ian stripe, interprets the signs of the times in favor of Wil- -Lam Jennipngs Bryan. The unique wager was laid last week and rcsulted from a jocular rernark made by Corbus. "l'Il bet you my wife,'- said Corbus, at the end of a heated debate on the xnoney question, -that McKinley will be elected President of the United States." -Do you mean that ?" was the quick1 rejoiner of Mr Barneil.1 THE LADY WILLING. A hall bour later found the twa men at a lawyen's office, wbere the stipula. lions of a wager became a contract, which vas signed by botb men. Mns Corbus is a camely woman, fifty years of age, and, like ber busband, en- thusiastically espouses bis politicul faith. Before signing the agreement în wbich bis vile played a conspicuons part, Corbus nelated to ber the coudi- tions of bis wager. ils acceptance, of course, being conditional on Mrs Con- bus' willingness to become a party ta the compact. Her faitb in ber bus- band's judgment and ber own enthus- iasmn caused ber to readily acquiesce to the conditions proposed. Mra Corbus does not believe that the veîdict of the Amreican people will decree ber legal separation (nom ber husband. Barneli bas been an intimate friend af the Corbus family, and if affaira bad sbaped tbernselvcs as to require the canrying out of the îerms of the contract, Mrs. Corbus said there would be no delay on ber part, and a legal separation wilh * be f ollowed by tic marniage of Barneil and Corbus's divorced wife. .--Barnell was a suitor of Mrs Corbus in the days of ber young vomanbood, S but Corbus, vb.o vas a suitor for ber hand at the same time, finally won ber. Disappointed in love, Barnell ne- mained single and devoted bimseîf ta * the pursuit of vealth, being nov in a position ta give a wi(e ah tthc cornlor-is e t a luxunious home. It was mutually agreed that in thc event of Bryan's election Corbus vas ta leave bis wile, the plea of desention being cited as *ground for divorce. In thc îown of Ripley, in Ohio, tvo welI known citizens of ýthat village, W. Wirt Leggett and Dr. George W Tyler, 't rade thc following agreernent: if M4cKinley sbould»be clccîed Dr Tyler was to shave bis head, gild k,ý and walk tbe lengtb 0f Main sîneet barebeaded. If Bryan sbould be electcd Mn Leggett vas 10 shave bis head, silver it. and walk the length of Main stneet banc- headed. HLTSBANDS AND WIVES DIFFER In Colorado tbe wornen vote Ibis year, and many of tbern differ in their political vieva froru Ibeir busbands. Sometimes tbey have long arguments ou the political issues of thc day. Suci a dispute arose between a man aud his wife in Denver. Then they felI to discussing vho would be elected, and one day the man nemarked that lie iras going to make a bet on Bryan. "fThat would be fooliai, " said the wife.. '~'Itell you what we'll do," she said, 44l'il make Ibis bet willi you. If Bryan- fa elected 1 will promise to chop all of the wood for the fires cveny mortilng for a, month. MIi the othen baud, if McKinley should vin you must pro- mifse to do the family washing sevcry Monday for the saine length of lime." These ternis vere agreed to. Thse Rev. John Qilér, a Baptist min- istcr of Connecticut, vagercd that sfiould McKinley be clected lic would ',pi-cacb a scrnÏ6n - wiîh -bis coal. vest ,-,ad trousers turned w:oug-side osut, j .Davidl Armsstrong, jr., a cool opcra:or, who betc ieîh hum;iii .attend-churcb, v,îh his apparel reversthe- I«,v Mr Oie<qssergsoq, 'Thé our.

She has a fiance who iq a clerk in a bank, and, of course, a Mc- -Kinley man. Whiie at dinner the other night she got furious at a slIur cast upon Mr Bryan, and a heated argument followed. -"I dare you to take my bet," she said in a moment of irnpetuosity. She agreed to cnt off ber long, black hair and look like Mary Walker, M D, if be won, while he should sacrifice bis luxuriant mous- tache and look like a guy in the other event. Two Philadelphia men agreed thatt after the election the loser is to walk8 on his hands from Philadelphia to Wil-f mington., Del., a distance of îhirty '1 miles. Meanwhile the loser will followa after, trundling his fcet as if he were ab wbeelbarrow. Such a journey will oc- cupy rather more than thrce days. WHISKERS AT STAKE. Deacon Weekly, of Liberty Center. Ohio, has a long beard and strong Re- publican convictions. With E'der Clover, who bas a smootb face and is a particularly smootb Dernocrat, the fol- lowing Compact was made: If Mc- Kinley were elected, Clover was not ta shave for four years, but if Bnyan were elected, Weekly*was to shave ever)y morning of bis-life (rom the filth day of November. Perbaps thc most pecuhiar bet of any yet recorded is one made last week be tween two waiters in a Chicago restau- rant. - The laser binds himself to pur- cbase ioo Qysters in the shell and tc open them for the winner, who is te~ eat tbem as (fast as they are opened. It is a moot question which man will have thc Worst of tbe bargain. In Walsenburg. Col., whcrc there ire coal mines, and wbere bu mon takes a practical form, and a joke often im- plies a cFacked crown, twa miners. John Welcb and Tom Carberry, made apeculiar wager. The hosen agreed tc got the bottom of a 200 foot shaft. and, detaching the bucket, take the rope in his teeîb and allow the vinner to dnaw him to, the surface by means of lie windlass. The only condition im- posed on the winner is that he shail use as much cane, expedition and cau- ion as be would in bringing to the top Mf thc sbaft a bucket of coal. t a t tg ti 0 AN EGG THROWING BET. In Gerinantown, Pa., John Leithead, foreman of an engine company, made a bet as a target while William Bennett. hoseman, tbrows four dozeri eggs at him. Mr. Leithead is to occupy a seat on the water plug, in front of the en- gin e house and Mr. Bennett is to do the throwing from a distance of thirty feet. The leading Democrats of the town will view the performance. About the most ridiculous bet of the campaign cornes from the village of Sharpstown, Md,, John Masten and Martin Wooley wagered that if the Re- publicans won Masten was to publicly hug and kiss the wife of Woolev, a young and handsome woman. They are to meet at the Town Hall, and the bet is to be paid with much gusto be.- fore an audience of neariy 500 people. Th!nnes5 làoftNh a1 .01gn , poor health.

He bore a good naine, and- deserved it. His second marriage, hovever. proved the mistake of his life. The second Mrs Ward had been a doctor's wife, . and did not tace ifo Fariner Ward and bi's agriculturai pur- suits. And the more shbe experienced of it tbe less she liked it. Mr., and Mrs. Ward were badly mis- matcbed, and, to make matters worse, she bad a fifteen year old daughter and he had several boys, and they didn't agree. Soon the bouse becamne divid- cd, and each party fortified one end of it, and maintained an armed neutrality. 0f course this couldn't go on long, and after many a bot Sally of words, one day Ward attempted by force t0 stay Mrs Ward in something she attempted to do of an offensive character. He appeared to have tried 10 escort ber (rom the dining room by force-, but she managed to, steer out of doors instead, and then sued bim for support. 1 The case was brought here for trial. but after a lot of evidence bad been taken a seulement was cffcctcd by a'bicb Ward was to puy costs and $240 per annum. Some time alter that they adopted Hion. S H Blake's advicc and went 10 ive together again; but their renewed reations werc of short duration. A swarm of hungry Toronto and Hamilton lawyers, with which the city is infected, then took he malter in hand. and for five years have been keeping it going. They rianagcd 10 coilect the $240 pet nnum, and kept Mrs Ward starving nd hoping on. Some of the cit> îwyers appeared s0 anxious 10 have Wrs Ward for a client that they ad- ianced money at critical periods of tht use, and then clung onto the $240 2 cear for thein costs. During years of estrangement and itter legal wau-faire which the innumer- Lble law -sharks of Toronto managed t( cep up between tbern, Mr and Mrc Yard have had an awful time. Sht ;wears she bas lived a year on nothing )ut bread, whilst the lawyers used her Jimony t0 keep the war going. Ward ias b)ecome a bankrupt and outcast. ,dwas recently arrested in Toron to ,d comnMiued for trial for non-sup- ert of bis wife. The case came up in the criminal ourt at Toronto on Saturday.last, ane. uring the evidence the true state o' ffairs came ta light, showing bow tht twyers had corne in for the $24o ah- ony instead of Mrs. Ward, and ho%% àe whole thing bad been a farce in he namne of law.
