A Midnight Sidewalk Marriage.

Mr.. Lee Hale and Miss Katie Morgan
had long loved each other, but the pa-
rents of Miss Katie objected to the union.
An elopement had been determined On,
and Sunday night was the time act.
The father and brothers of the young
lady by some means had got an inkiing
of what was going on, and determined
to watch and wait developments. About
twelve o'clock Sunday night, by the gas
jets, the form of Mr.. Lee Hale was seen
approaching. A minister had been pro-
cured and, in company with a few
friends of the bridegroom, were standing
at a reasonable distance on the pave.
ment. The unusual crowd on the street
attracted a few policemen to the scene,
but as soon as it became known what
was in the wind no interference was
made. Miss Morgan, on the approach
of her lover, attempted to leave the
house to join him. Her cruel father
and brothers caught hold Of and at
tempted to intercept her, but she
broke away from them and ran
to the head of the steps. By
some unaccountable accident the
young lady stumbled and fell headlong
down the steps. Fortunately she was
not injured further than few unimpor-
tant bruises on her body. Mr.. Hale stood
at the foot of the stairway and raising
the girl in his arms, assisted her to where
the minister and friends were standing.
Everything being in readiness, they were
united in marriage in less than three
minutes. All the high contracting par
ties stand well socially Chattanooga

MY OWN BRIGHT Rose.

Inere are gardens and gardens OF roses.
All beautiful, bright and sweet;
But, oh not one do covet
Of all that chance to meet.
FOR the brightest rose
Is the one that grows
In my own little home for me.
And wherever go,
Full well do know
No rose is so dear as she.
My Rose has eyes that are browner
Than ever were eyes of gazelle.
And heart that belongs to woman
Whom we should trust long and we'll
Not far do roam
From the garden of home
Where my Rose is blooming for me-.
For the charm of my life
Lies therein the wife
Who is fair and sweet to see.
So bud and blossom, We roses.
Wherever the gardens grow,
Not sweeter your fragrant blooming
Than the beautiful Rose know.
Nor amongst you there
Is there bud so fair
As the bud. SO dainty and wee.
Which my Rose, so sweet,
To make joy complete
Has brought to my garden for me.

His pain was 50 great that he could not

enduring this sort of things for some

apply it. He did not mince matters at

banished and his father was in a per

initial but important step in this direction, an
amendment TO the Federal constitution which will
give TO the people Of the several cities, villages and
such other postal districts may be authorized by

We also demand that Federal subordinate officers
shall not be appointed or removed because OF po-
litcal belief, nor appointed until their ability and
