Marrying All Day long.

Il never saw so much fun in the wed.
ding business rs | saw down in Burlng-
ton, n. d.. the other day, said Scran-
ton man who had jus: returned from
that town. The young people of east
crn Pennsylvania dislike the new mar
riage license law very much and they
have made Burlington vrritablc
Gretna Green. The average number of
marriages of Pennsylvania couples has
been eleven Il day for some time past,
and the epidemic appears to be on the
increase. Last Sunday thirty couples
went there 10 be married ! called M
the house of Il parson who is an old ac-
quaintance of mine, and he was 80 over
run with work that he asked me 10 STAY
and see him tie the Young lovers who
had come there across the river from
the Keystone state. The hail was filed
with waiting couples. and the minister's
study and parlor had Ill they could hold
comfortably. The green country chaps
and fellows from The villages cniovcd
the jam ever so much, and the girls gi@-
gled and accepted the situation GOOD
naturally. As fast as one couple were
pronounced husband and wife all the
others offered them their congratula-
tons. although in nearly every case the
parties had never seen one another be-
fore.
''One burly young farmer with a
buXom maiden ut his side bushcd when
he walked through the crowd TO have
the knot tied. He was told TO brace up
and not get excited by the jolly would

stiff upper lip, as the agony would not
last long. When he marched out into
the hall he was greeted by such excla-
nations rs 'Pshaw! it didn't hurt YOU
half Us much rs you thought it would
and oh. you're all right, if YOU did look
scared! The much-lrightened groom
got out of the house as quickly us he
could, put his bride into an open car
riage, and started for Pennsylvania.

right hand and led her before the

said voice in the audience. and Joshua
had to change his position, which he
did in II very awkward way, grinning
and coloring up as he did so. When

and looked tired. He said he hoped
no more Pennsylyanians would bother
him in a month. He had taken in 500

Two Brave Mothers.

An Atlanta, Ga, telegram to the Phila-
delphia Pres of Jan. 9, says: Edward e..
Tucker, a typical moonshiner, was
brought into this city from Gwinnett
county tonight. On the same train
were two respectable cooking matrons,
Mrs. NJ. Buchanan, aged 60, Mrs. A. j.
Johnson, aged %. Tucker is the princl-
pal and the ladies' are the witnesses in a
case Of illicit distilling, 1t seems that
Tucker lives just on the line of Walton
county, while about three miles from
HIM in Touns district, the two ladies re-
side, Mrs. Buchanan is the mother of
three sons and is Il member of the Meth
odist church Mrs. Johnson worshIps
in the ncighboring Baptist congregation,
and Is the mother of Two sons. These
ladies' are held in the highest esteem by
their neighbOrs.
Midway between their home and that
of Tucker there Is an Illicit still which
has been in operation for years. Every
night and.all day sunday the young men
of the community would hang around
this resort, among them the SONS OF the
ladies named. The mothers sent a writ

shoulders axes. and ut once set to work
chopping up the establishment, turning
all the liquor upon the ground, and
running the copper still. while the young
men looked on, allowing no one to mol
,-,'t their mothers.
When the women had finished their
work they quietly walked away. Upon
their journey home they nailed notices,
which they. had prepared, upon the
trees, warning the liquor-makers that
the women had organized themselves
for the war, and any still, whether Illicit
or not, established within ten miles,
would be visited by them and destroyed.
These acts were followed by great ex-
element throughout the country. The

In the recent fire in Louisville, KY,
the burning of Il large cotton warehouse,
in which Col. Wright and Mr. Balmforth
lost their lives, Miss Jennie Lamb spent
the entire night in carrying hot coffee
to the 6remen. In spite of the bitter
cold and the danger of approaching too
near the lettering walls, she mounted
the most perilous positions with her
bucket of coffee, and as often as it was
emptied, returned to have it filed.
Quantities of brandy were sent to be
used by the firemen, but Major Hughes
order to the men to abstain from intoxi-
eating liquor was rigidly observed.

A Deadly Serpent.

SOME time ago Il party of sailors visit
ed the geological Garden. One of
them, excited 10y the liquor he had tax
en-, and as an act OF bravado to his com
panions. took hold of II deadly serpent.
lie held it NJ, having seized it by the
napc of the neck insuch manner that
il did not turn around To sting.
AS he held il, the snake, unobserved
by him, coiicd itself about his arm, and
at last got firm grip, and wound tighter
and tighter so tina, he was unable to de-
tach il. AS the pressure of the snake
increased the danger grew,and at length
the sailor was unable 10 maintain his
hold on the vcnomOus reptile, and was
compelled To- loose il. What did the
snake then do? 1t turned around apj
stung him, and he died.
So ii is with the appetite of strong
drink. We can control il at first, but in
little while it controls us. We can
hold lis influence in our grasp for Il
