TAKING CARE OF THE WIDOW.
She and Her Six Children Get a Husband
and father.
Charles Custer, the popular store
keeper at Ronton, came to the Post-In-
tcllig'enee.r office, where I was em
ployed, and related a very sad story. He
Kadd that a German woman with six
children, had arrived in Kenton from
the old country a few days before on
her way to Newcastle to jom her hus
band; that on her arrival in, Benton she
had learned that her husband had been
killed in tho mines six weeks before
She could not speak a word of English,
and' was without money or friends.
Custer said the people of Uenton had
supplied her immediate wants, and that
he had come to Seattle to arrange for
the county te take care of her until she
was in a position to care for herself and
family. When he. had finished his
story he turned to me and asked what I
woiild advise.
Jarvis and his ranch, with plenty of
room for the children to romp in and
plenty of milk for them to drink and
the four din'uur-room chairs popped
into my mind like a flash, and I replied :
"Custer, do you think your widow
would consider matrimony as a way
out of troubles?"
"Why, the idea almost staggers me,"
replied Custer. "Who on earth wants
to marry a woman- with six children,
who has only learned of the death of
her husband within the last four days?
Besides that, she cannot speak a wort?
of English. She speaks German, alto
gether." 'She has not much the better of my
man," I replied. "He is a Frenchman,
and can neither speak English nor Ger
man; but I guess if they get married
they soon will be able to understand
each other.
Custer went further into the partic
ulars of my scheme. I told him who
the man was and my reasons for think
ing that he would be willing to marry
the German woman, children and all.
That afternoon Custer went on horse
back over to Jarvis' ranch, laid the mat
ter before him, and to his surprise and
gratification Peter jumped at the
chance. "You go back to town and
make the arrangements," said Jarvis,
"and I'll hitch up and drive over this
evening and have the job done at once."
"All right," said Custer, "but don't
forget to put a couple of extra seats in
the wagon for the young ones.
"How many did you say there were?"
asked Jarvis.
"Only. six. Now, don't spend too
much time sprucing up, because I'll
have everything ready before you can
reach town if you go for the horses at
once. .
As Custer left the farm the old mnn
shouted: "Good-by. You will have to
ride lively if you beat me to town. My
horses are not driven for a bride very
often, -and they can stand it to get over
the ground at a rapid pace for once in
their lives."
Sure enough, Custer had hardly time
to break the news to the widow,
through" an interpreter, before the
dashing Frenchman came tearing
through the streets like mad, and
reined his panting horses up in front
of CusterS store. Before leaving Seat
tle that day Custer had taken the pre
caution to secure the necessary license.
with the understanding that it could
be returned if not used. A'preacher
was called in, the bride and groom were
introduced, and made man and wife.
in almost the same breath, and half an
hour later Mr. and Mrs.' Jarvis and the
six little ones were comfortably seated
in the big lumber wagon, bound for
the Jarvis homestead om Cedar river, as
happy as clams at high tide. Seattle

KIPLING'S LITTLE JOKE.
How Bt fitn Out a Policy for the Aus
tralians.
Rudyard Kiplirg is usually repre
sented as being very cold and distant to
young, newspaper men, and proof
against their efforts to interview him.
There is evidently a kind side to his na-
tnre, however, as is shown by r. story
that is told by the Literary Digest. In
regard to the statement m an'Austra-
ian paper that he landed on that island
at 13 o'clock and 16 minutes later "had
formulated an Australian policy," Mr.
Kipling, according to the Digest,inakes
the following explanation: "A young
reporter cornered mo just after I
mded. I treated him kindly, but said
firmly that I was not to .be inter
viewed. I have not thought of inter
viewing you. replied the reporter, with
it sadness in his vo'ce. I ask a much"
greater favor tlitn; fiat.' It turned out
that the reporter had an Australian
policy which he knew would be of the
greatest benefit to the country. No
paper would print it. His modest re
quest wa that- Kipling would let him
put forth his theory as the scheme of
the novelist. 'They will print it,'. he
r,aid. 'if I give it as coming from you.
'All right,' agreed Kipling, 'fire ahead.'
So the young reporter got in four
mortal columns telling the people of
Australia how to govern their country.
'I never read the article, Mr. Kipling
placidly says, 'but there must have been
amazing theories in it from the storm it
raised.' " -
An Unexpected Answer.
On a recent Sunday night a minister
was preaching in Belfast, when a young
man in the congregation, getting weary
of the sermon, looked repeatedly at his
watch. Just as he was in the act of-ex-amining
his timepiece for the fourth or
fifth time, the paslor, with great earn
estness, was urging the truth upon' the
conscience of his hearers. "Young
man," said he, " how is it with you?"
Whereupon the young man with the
gold repeater bawled out. in t he hearing
Of nearly the whole congregation : "A
quarter past eight." As may bo sup
posed, the gravity of the assembly was
very much disturbed by the occurrence.
