Romantic Marriage.

LOUISVILLE, November l4.--Mr. John
S. Summers, of Dallas, Texas, and Miss
jamie Van Arsdale, of Pleasant Run,
Washington County, were married at
Jefersonville Friday night. In 1879 MIR.
Summers was prosperous young stock
trader of Marion County and Miss Van
Arsdale was just blooming into woman
hood. Her father was wealthy farmer
and she his only child. Seven years ago
the Young CO. ,le met accidentally in
New Orleans, where the young man had
taken drove of mules, and the girl was
visiting an old school friend. When they
returned home, much against the wishes
of the girls father they were married.
Six mouths later the husband failed in
business and went to Texas, promising
his wife to come after her when he became
settled. Several months after his arrival
there he became involved in an imbroglio
in which a man was killed. Summers
was convicted of the murder on evidence
partly circumstantial, and was sentenced
10 some fifteen years in the San Antonla
oenitentiary. The news of his fate pros
:rated the young " ife and so enraged the
father. in. law that he at once set about
persuading his daughter to apply for
divorce. She WAS obdurate at first, but
finally yielded TO the fearful entreaties of
her father. Suit was entered, and she
obtained an absolute divorce and the
restoration Of her maiden name.
On October ~ last Governor Ireland
signed the pardon of Summers, and he
was released When he entered the
penitentiary, being well educated, he was
placed in the dyspensary department,
and there became a good pharmacist.
Upon bis release his Dallas fIicnds raised
subscription and set him up in the drug
business. On Monday last the young
man returned to Kentucky and went to
claim his wife, ignorant of the divorce
proceedings of years before. His advent
created sensation, but his father in law
drove Summers away, it is said, with
shotgun. Yesterday afternoon Summers
drove to Springfield, where Miss Van
Arsdale met him. The two then drove
to Lebanon, where they took the train tor
this city. Summers is 90 years old, and
in the bloom of manhood, but during his
term in prison his hair turned snow
white. Mr.. and Mrs. Summers left this
morning for Dallas

THE READING CIRCLE.

Every teacher ought to seek self-im-
provement. Not only so, but he ought
to seek the best methods of self-improye.
meut. The Reading Circle is intended
to aid teachers to concentrate thell time
and study upon subjects that pertain to
selfadvancement. Itprescribes certain
course of study which, if closely adhered
to, will do them much more good than
any amount of miscellaneous reading.
believe that persons can prescribe their
own course of reading and follow it
closely. We have illustrations in the
lives of great men who have pursued
this plan and become famous in politics,
in letters, in science and in theology.
But they were the exceptions of their
times. They became great, learned and
useful in society in spite of difficulties.
How many who read this could do so?
1 dare say not more than one in a
hundred. 1t is like a boy studying
algebra, or anything else, at home; it
tires him, and he gives it up. Yes, you
could pursue course of study OF your
own, but you don't do 1t. Now these are
some of the benefits of reading circle:
L. Good books. No course of study
contains dime novels and such trash as
would poison the mind. But it gives to
its members such literature as Irving's
Knickerbocker history of New York,
aud such writings on teaching as Raub's
School Management, and Spencer and
Locke on Education. Its course contains
only standard works OH literature, history
and methods of teaching. Members of
the circle not only get good books, but
many of them may be obtained at
reduced rates. Such books elevate both
the intellectual and moral standing of
those who read them.
2. United Effort. Where there are
from one to FIVE hundred teachers pur-
suing the same reading, there is union of
strength. They are bound together in
sympathy, and are bound to aid each
other in discussions.
8. Examinations That there is great
benefit in examinations, no one will
deny. In miscellaneous reading we often
skip over the surface and pay but little
attention to the subject, because we have
nothing definite to accomplish. But
when we read something prescribed, at
the same time knowing we have to pass
an examination upon il, wc are more
careful. We stop to digest it and make
it our own. In this way everything we
read becomes a part of us. 1t makes us
thoughtful and earnest, anxious to gain
more information, and develops the
memory.-fhe Teachers Guide.

Ruined by Rabbits.

WASHINGTON, November 10.-Consul
General Morgan, of Australia, has writ.
ten the secretary of State curious dis.
patch, describing the ravages of the !
rabbits upon that continent. The whole
country is so overrun with them, he says,'
that unless something is soon done to
exterminate the pests the result will be
disastrous to the agricultural interests.
Rabbits were first introduced into the
country in 1860 by large landed pro.
prieter for the purpose of sport, but they
have multiplied with such astonishing i
rapidity as to literally overrun the whoie-
continent, where the Topography is fay.
orable to them.
1T is doubtful" says Mr.. Morgan,
"whether many persons are aware of the
immense loss that has been sustained in
the colony from this curious cause. Az
much as 100000 has beer expended y
clear ole estate of the pests, and many
other proprietors have expended from
$4,000 downward without mucD result J
In addition to the expense incurred q
private owners, the Government autnori-
ties have done much. There has been 9
great depreciation in the value of land
from this cause, and one estate of 0,OOO
acres in Victoria, which was formerly the
best pasture in the colony, is now value.
less. In a recent discussion in the
Parliament it was shown that 100000
acres had been rendered almost useless
by these little invaders. Estates upon
which were smiling harvest fields and
fruitful orchards few years ago have
fallen into ruin and have been deserted
by all living creatures except the rabbits
In the grass and salt brush where in 1915 J,
were 100000 sheep, there are now not
more than 100000. In the year 1876 thef
production of wool in the Malice country
was 5000 bales, valued at $500000. In
1884 this had fallen to 900 bales, valued
at 100000. Many of the ranges are en-
tirely abandoned. During the last three
years the Government has spent $3.50, 600
in Virginia alone to rid the country of
the little beasts, poisoned oats and wheat
being used and bounty paid upon sk
of three pence per dozen. Last year
number killed by private persons,
which bounty was paid, was 3,884, o.
The sum voted by Parliament this year !;
for the purpose is $4,000. 1t may be
asserted that one pair of rabbits wilI,<
increase in a few years to 100000, but
allowing that they only increase to one;l
fourth that number, it may easily be seen
how necessary it is to destroy them.
There are now about 500 miles of rabbit.

Victoria, at cost of S4OO mile. The
estimated damage during the last, ten
years amounted to over S15,OO0,0O0." -

of late about the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Pennsylvania companies negotiating
for closer alliances with some of the
Southern lines, and this may have some
thing to do with the advance to day. 1t

in Wall street speculation, and this is
regarded as a sure indication of the
growing wealth of the Southern States .
