th salesgirl Andrew Carnegie learned about the incident, and in due time the ironmaster brought Peacock to Pittsburg and made the floorwalker a millionaire. At the Waldorf one morning Mr Peacock waa discovered scribbling on a sheet of paper in the writing-room. A friend asked him what he was doing. "Oh, my wife at breakfast ust now Insisted that I was worth $10,000 I think it is only $7.000.000. She is usually right, but I can't find the other $ . M this morning " Married Mother's Maid.

to deserve particular distinction. Only a few weeks ago he eloped with his mother's French maid. They have not been entirely forgiven yet, but it Is understood that John Alston Is being treated In a Now York sanitarium, his father paying the bills, and it is I said the little French maid is crying her way back to sunny France, well paid, if cash can make it good, but with her foolish little heart broken. More re-ently the limelight of notoriety ha Leen turne 1 upon W. E. ! Corey, one of the best known of the Carnegie group of Pittsburg millionaires.

Contemporaneously with the Thaw murder Mrs. Scott Hartje. the wife ol Augustus Hartje, Pittsburg millionaire paper manufacturer, has begun suit against her husband for divorce. Mr Hartje saya that her husband wore paper collars for years; that he would buy a $1.3. horse over the telephone and the next minute refuse Mrs. Hartje s request for three dollars for a pair of shoes. Some of the charges of both Mr. and Mrs. Hartje cannot be printed here Cooked His Oxn Meals. Charles Clarke, son of Mrs. Eliza Clarke, cousin of James King Clarke married Miss Elizabeth Staking, ol Atlanta. Ga. "Chic." as he was known was a jolly good fellow. Before his marriage he tried newspaper work in Pittsburg. He essayed a publication similar to Town Topics, bat the United States could only stand one such at a time, and the Pittsburg production died and the owner was In debt. Time went hard with him about the time he married, and he apparently lost all his money, it being tied up in legal broila. Either he tired of his wife oi she tired of him. At any rate, he sued f r divorce and told that he had endeavored to maiutaln the two by doing the family rooking in a chafing-dish in their little room over in Allegheny. He got his divorce, and the next day the wife became the wife of ' Sport '' Donnelly, son of a Pittsburg millionaire.

Laundry work at home would be mm-h m re satisfactory If the right Starch were used. In ordr to get the desired stiffness, it Is usually necessary to use so much starch thai the beauty and fineness of the fabrlr Is hidden behind a paste of varylni thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, aa It can be applied much more thinly because of Its greater strength than other makes.

New Fruit of Value. A new fruit that seem likely to prove of considerable value has ben developed by the cultivation of the very familiar "may nop," a plant which Is very familiar In the southern states, quite ornamental, easily grown from eeds and affurds a handsome cover for rrbors and verandas. It is known to botanists as Passiflora incarnate. The fruit In Its ImprovcJ form Is somewhat bigger than a hen's egg and decidedly palatal le. it looks like a May apple.
