A CAVEMAN'S WIFE.

Brought up in a palatial homo in Boston, C.S.A., a romantic woman was attracted By the simple Hie i" its most simple form. She married Mr John Otto, a hermit who dwells in a cave in a canyon (a deep valley with steep slopes) in Colorado, but she soon tired of being in such close touch with nature and left him. Now Mr Otto has obtained a divorce on the ground of desertion. An artist and sculptor, Mrs Otto rode into the mountains of the west four years ago in search of adventure. She found a husband in Mr Otto, who was intended for the ministry, but preferred to live in close touch with nature. The couple were married on the summit of Monument Hill, an eminence foui miles from Grand Junction, Colorado. The ceremony took place before an altar hewn out of the rock by the bride, a woman of splendid physique, six feet in height. After the ceremony a salute of 100 revolver shots was fired. The bridegroom gave the bride not a wedding ring, but a donkey. The couple set up housekeeping in a cave 10,000 feet above sen level. But the city-bred bride soon wearied of her life as a cave man’s wife, and, says the “Mail,” in a few months, she returned to her parents’ comfortable home.
