An Imaginative GeorgIans Story.

A gentleman who lives in the
eastern part of this county tells one
of those that few people will believe
without seeing it." He says that
he was out fox-hunting, and when
the chase was at the height of its ex-
citement his horse ran into an old
well thirty feet deep. The horse
was instantly killed by the fall. but
the rider was unhurt. The walls OF
the well had caved in at the bottom
distance Of three or four feet, and
the gentlmau says this prevented
getting out by digging footholds.
realizing his situation, be began to
call upon help at the top of his
voice, but no assistance came. He
was compelled to remain in the well
all night, and the next morning the
stencil arising from the carcass of
the dead horse was anything but
pleasant, and he noticed that the
buzzards were soaring over the spot
Finally the buzzards began to alight
in the well, and it was then that q
bright idea struck him. He decided
to catch the buzzards by the legs as
they came down until he had q
sufficient number to carry him out.
That he did, and when be had
caught as many as his hands would
hold, he 'shooedH at them, and they
flew up, carrying him out of the
well.
But still the fox-hunter was in a
dilemma The buzzards flew up so
rapidly that he could not turn them
loose when he reached the top with
out falling back in the well. Up
ward the buzzards flew with their
human freight, and the fox-hunter
began to despair of his life after all.
When about one hundred yards
above the ground the fox-hunter
was just about to let go and fall,
when be was struck by another
bright idea. He decided to let go
one buzzard at a time until his
weight would pull them downward.
Acting upon this plan, be was soon
landed safely upon the ground.
The gentleman who tells this story
tells it in all seriousness, and as
though he actually believes it true,
but it will be a colder day than any
we had during the recent blizzard
before he can get anybody else to
believe it.

Former White House Weddings.

The White House has been the
scene of several weddings, each and
all of more or less display. Proba-
bly, the wedding of Nellie Grant and
Algernon Sartoris, on May u, 1874,
was the most brilliant of the half
dozen taken place there. The East
Room was the scene, and the pair
stood under an immense floral bell,
with background of flowers filling
the big east window. There were
six bridesmaids and distinguished
company. IL was morning we'd
ding and General Grant gave his
daughter away, with fearful eyes
and ill-concealed emotion. Later on
in President Hayes term, his niece.
Miss Emily Piatt, and General Rus
sui Hastings were married. The
wedding was In .he Blue Parlor.
decorated with flowers, and here
also the bride stosd under bell
of flowers. To ge back to the be-
ginning of the White House wed
dings, the first one was in President
Madison's time, when Miss Todd,
relative of Mrs. Madison, was fhe
bride, and John G.. Jackson, OF Vir-
ginia, who was then a member of
Congress, was the groom. The first
East Room wedding was that of
Elizabeth Tyler, whose father was
then President, and William Waller,
of Williamsburg, Va, Miss Tyler
was just nineteen, as was also Nellie
Grant, when married President
Adams son John Quincy, jr., mar
ried his cousin. Miss johnson, in
1925. The wedding took place at
the White House in President
Adams's administration. When
General Jackson was President there
were two weddings in the White
House. Miss Easton, his niece, and
Mr.. Polk of Tennessee, and o rela-
tive of Jackson, were married. The
other was that of Miss Lewis, of
Nashville, and Mr.. Paqueol, who
was afterward French Minister to
this country. Martha Monroe mar
ried Samuel Gouveneur, who was
for while President Monroe's pri-
vate secretary. This wedding took
place in the East room, and the
bride was just turning seventeen.
The wedding of Mr.. Cleveland
will be the ninth taking place In The
White House, but it viii be the first
wedding there of President. Presi-
dent Tyler's second wife was the
first and, so far, only mistress Of the
mansion going there as bride. Mr..
Tyler and Miss Gardner were mar
ried in New York, but came on 10
Washington and held their wedding
reception in the White House. Her
portrait, painted soon efter, now
hangs in the Green Room.

Exercise

DR.. Parks has calculated that the
amount of exercise a sedentary man
in health should take is equal to
nine miles a day upon level ground.
The amount of walking done in
walking about the Louse, and other
domestic duties, may probably be
put down as three miles, which will
leave only walk of six miles per
diem on level ground. If the ground
is hilIy this will be still more reduc-
ed, so that it certainly does not seem
an excessive amount to advise. The
proper quantity must, however, vary
greatly with circumstances. Females
for example, will not take as much
as men. In winter more NAV be
taken than in summer. In youth,
when the body is undergoing its
most active development, care mus,
be taken that every muscle is exer-
cised in its turn. Hence the free
use of gymnastics, games and sports
at this age is most beneficial. In
advanced life, the power and incli-
nation for exercise both fail, but
even then every effort should be
to prevail upon the individual to
take some amount of exercise, and
to postpone the evil day when he
viii become completely bed-ridden.
Such an amount of exercise is in all
cases necessary as will keep the
muscles in good health and enable
them TO meet the physical require
ments of the rest of the body. The
rule, however, is applicable to varia-
ton ond can be considered only as
a general estimate.

An Effective Prayer.

Some time ago, as the story runs
w. W. Erwin, the criminal lawyer
pressed for little change, dropped
into the office of D. ". lngersoll and
asked him for the loan OF So. Mr.
Ingersoll declined to make the ad-
vance, but suggested that, instead, il
Mr.. Erwin would go into the base
ment with him, be would pray for
him. Mr.. Erwin consented, and the
two went into the depths, where on
bended knee Ingersoll prayed long
and well for his brother man. When
he had concluded Erwin said, Now
I'll pray"
Mr.. Erwln's prayer was peculiar
one. 1t was delivered at the top OF
his voice, and consisted of an exhor-
tation to the Lord to direct Ingersoll
how to dispose of his vast wealth
wisely, As he warmed up the pitch
of his voice raised materially, and
Mr.. Ingersoll grew nervous, and urg.
ed him not to pray so loud, as il
would bring those upstairs down.
was of no avail. The exhortation
grew more feryent, and finally be-
came howls. Then Ingersoll, with
a despairing exclamation, sprang to
his feet and said: Stop praying,
Erwin here's your S." The de-
votions ended at once.-St. Paul

The Flower Garden and Lawn in June

Run the lawn mower as often as
once a week, or oftener if the rapid
growth of grass requires it. In a
dry time NOW less frequently. 1t is
a good plan to have the edges of
beds in the lawn cut sloping, as this
will allow them to be kept in order
more easily. Annuls sown now will
make a fine display late in the
season. Coleuses and similar fol-
iage plants" may now be planted in
beds in the lawn. Cannas and tube
roses should now be planted. Ever
lasting flowers, so called, will be
needed at Christmas, and it will be
we'll to provide for the demand by
sowing seeds of helichruysums.
rhodanthes, and others. Weeds,
whether in the lawn or on the bor-
der, must be kept in subsection. A
sharp. stiff knife, that will cut the
roots well below the surface, is a
most useful implement for wedding
in the garden. Greenhouse plants,
as a rule, are set out of doors but
they should not be given over to
neglect. If the pots are not set upon
a pavement, provide a layer of coal
ashes. that worms may not enter.
Plants thus placed for the summer
must have all needed water; they
must not be overrun by insects, nor
should their roots be burned by the
beating of the sun against the pots.
Indeed, plants that are set out re-
quire as much, if not rather more
care, than if they had been left in
side. Guard against injury by dogs.
