Unique. Relationsllip.
A Charming young lady who resides
in a northern, town, but who is well
known in Clinton where she went to
school, has a good deal of• sport „at
times at her own expense, with people
who do not knew the real. circumstan-
ces, Some one meeting her will say
"Miss Blank, I. saw your hitherto:
day."
"Yes," she naively replies, "which
one.,,
"Why your father, of course."
"Well, but.1 have two fathers and:
four mothers, she.:replies in .tach an
innocent way. than the other °does, not
know what. to make of -it, • and Borne-
tingles they leave her with theidea that
they are being jollied. Nevescheless,
her statement, though not literally
true, is relatively so."
Her father is a well known, proiui-
ent, and highly • respected business
an of the town alluded to. Shortly
after the girl's birth, her Mother died.
and she was adopted by a married
uncle,taking his name; This•gave her
two fathers,. and she is proud of thein
both, as she has every reason to be.
Subsequently ' her father . re -married,
and this gave her two mothers on her
o wn side. The aunt who adopted lier,
and had- taken the place df her own
mother in everyrespect, died,. and her
adopted father subsequen tly remarried,
so that she had two mothers on this
side, making the four mothers. It is
a very unusual relationship, end this
young lady is not slow to take .advan-
attheo opportunity presents for
advan-
tage ofnit it i s nts
confusing help friends, and giving her•
a little sport at the same time.

tant in•the Telegram'office, Winnipeg.

A few days ago : Mrs. Bert Davis
daughter-in•law of Mr. S. Davis, who
had been visiting here, left to visit
friends in Woodstock, checking her
trunk and suitcase :through, via Strat-
ford. When she got. to her destina-
tion, the trunk and ease failed to ar-
rive, and investigation disclosed the
fact that they had . heen stolen at
Stratford by two inen, who were sub-
sequently arrested, The. Company
forwarded the articles to Mrs. Davis,
though both had been broken open
and partially smashed, and some of
the contents stolen. She • put In a
claim for damages of $27.50, the Coni -
piny finally settling with her for $14..
When the inen were brought up for
trial they :pleaded. guilty, and were
each sentenced to two years in pent. I
tentiary. It was a .nervy thing to
steal the articles in broad daylight,
from a G. T. R. l.ruck, whelk, there
would be so many people around' ad'
there are at Stratford.
