Pennsylvania Man Left His Pretty Young Wife to Ran Away with Her Mother—Cupid Seored a Triamph. Troubles, erts a writer in the Cincinnati Tribune, seems to be the} lot of a great many lovers. Surely | no one would be so daring as to de- | clare that all persons, whose hearts} own, are constantly beset by vexatious incidents, yet one needs only to look about. to learn that love and bliss are not neces- sarily analogous. Some of the trou- bles of lovers—many of them, in fact —are only slight, but they knit the brow and produce worry, neverthe- less, and that is why the world should, as a matter of common jus- tice, love a lover. An incident occurring recently in| Charlotte, Tenn., goes to prove the assertion that love is not all roses. Robert Sutherland and Miss Lorena Foster wanted to get married, and, as is sometimes the case, the girl's parents Naturally, this made no difference, for the modern couple is not disposed to waste time in securing the parental blessing. Sutherland and Miss Foster eloped in the middle of the night, and, as might be expected, they were in a great hurry when they left the Fos- ter homestead. In her excitement the bride forgot her shoes—a fool-; ish thing for her to do, but she did it—and when she and Sutherland presented themselves at the squire’s office they decided it would be bad luck for the girl to be married in her stocking feet. Here John § of the groom objected. erland, a brother , stepped in and offered to ret to the Foster home and recover the shoes. It was then five o'clock in the morning, but ' the young man surmmoned courage , to his aid and set out for the Fos- ter’s.

In fact, it is the tame sort that the peo- ple object to the most. Some months ago a.man who was traveling about the country with a performing bear came here suffering from injuries re- ceived in a fight with a gang of rowdies in South Chicago. His condition was such that he decided to go to Indian- } apolis for treatment, and left his bear, which he said was kind and gentle, | with Farmer Cabie, to be cared for un- til his return.
