ther of nine children, came 2000 miler from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, to St. Louis to find a wife. He arrived Thurs- day. He was introduced to Mrs. Mattie White of 1906% O'Fallon street Friday, sampled her cooking Saturday, proposed and was accepted Sunday, bought a wedding outfit for her Monday and en- gaged a priest Tuesday to marry them Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. White is 58 years old and has two grown children. Her husband died last February. Durand'’s wife died last March. Durand says he has a $100,000 farm in Alberta and he is sure his bride will like to live there, although he has warned her that the temperature come- times drops to 50 degrees below zero. This being a mild winter it was only 14 below when he left home, he says. Does Not Mind Cold. “I don’t mind the cold,” says the pros- pective Mrs. Durand. “I always did want to live on a tarm.” Durand wrote to friends in St. Louis several weeks ago, telling them he was looking for a wife. ‘He will not di- vulge the names of these friends, but says that after looking over the mat- rimonial field here they advised him to come to St. Louis and take hi pick of their selections. } Durand went to the Alcazar Hotel, 3127 Locust street, and then called ‘on eligible widows whose names had been furnished by his friends. “I didn’t let them know what I want- ed, though,”’ he said slyty. ‘‘Some of them kept rooming houses. I would ring the bell and ask to see a room. They would show me through the house and I would note whether they were tidy housekeepers. Most of them were not, and I went away without telling them I wanted a wife. “I liked Mrs. White's looks when I was introduced to her. I found her house neat and clean. I came back the next day and ate dinner with her and learned that she was a fine cook. The n.eal was so good that I came back for u Sunday dinner. No man ought te marry a woman who can’t cook.” Methodist and Mrs. White a Catholic. “Religion makes no difference if the ccoking is good,’’ said Durand Wednes- their 2000-mile journey to Alberta next Wednesday evening.

Neighbors say they were reserved and discouraged famil- iarity. Mrs. Britton apparently was trail and in poor heaith. Each day at 10 a. m. she and her husband would leave the house, Britton carrying, a brown valise. -They would return at 4p. m. No light was ever seen in the house until Tuesday night when a neighbor saw a light in the front room at 9 p. m. Otto Goertz, a baker, saw the house in flames. Firemen feund the fire appar- ently had started under a rear stairway. The interior of the house and most of the furniture was destroyed. In the kitchen the remnants of a meal were found on the stove and there were unwashed dishes on the table. A deck of cards was scattered over the kitchen floor. No one in the neigh- torhood remembers seeing the Brittons return to the house Tuesday afternoon. They went out as usual at 10 a. m. BLAZE IN HIS NEW HOME

Had Jobs in Cuba and One in, Philippines Which Paid $15,000 Yearly.

By Associated Press. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 29.—Russia is about to demand the resignation of W. Morgan Shuster, the American finan- cial adviser to the Government of Per- sia. .This demand is contained in the instructions which the Foreign Office has forwarded to the Russian Minister at Teheran, M. Poklewsky-Koziel, con- cerning the. supplementary demands: which Russia is making on Persia to’ recoup her for the cost of sending troops’ to that country. Great Britain, it is understood, 1s. in accord with Russia in the latter’s ‘de- mand for Shuster’s removal. The Russian Foreign Office appreci- ates the tactful attitude of the Amer- ican Minister at Teheran, Charles W Russell, throughout the series of inci- dents culminating in the present de- rand. The Washington Government udhered to the view that Shuster was at present at Teheran in a private ca- pacity and that the situation did not call for American interference.

Shuster was Deputy Collector of Cus- toms in Cuba during the American oc- cupation of the island. In 1901 he ieft there to become Collector of Customs at Manila, Philippine Islands. .~ In ‘1906 Shuster was jelevated to the position of member of the Philippine Conimission with a salary of $5000 a year with $10,000 a year additional as Secretary of Public Instructions. ‘his appointment occasioned surprise in Ma- nila, .because Shuster bad often taken the side of the Philipinos in disputes with his own countrymen, In February of the present year che Persian Government appointed Shuster Treasurer-General on the recommen:la- tion of the State Department.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 29.—The hand which wrote “The Raggedy Man” and “Little Orphant Annie” will give the world no more “Riley Songs of Cheer.” * Paralysis has made James Whitcomb Riley’s right hand helpless, and while it has not affected the author’s brain, | the processes of hand and mind have been so long joined that Riley declares his career as a poet is ended. “I couldn’t dictate a poem to anyone, and have it rattle” off on a typewriter,”’ he said today. “I must have a pen in my hand to catch the swing of the meter.
