 There was town twenty miles away and a week before Christmas Sam Collins and Burt Mac comber drove off in big wagon drawn by four mules i'll it's direc- tion. Burt had been chosen for ths eX- cursion because, as they all agreed, he "knew more about wimmin's chicken fix ins' than ary man in the camp.
 Don't ye spar the money" was Dick Gowdy's parting admonition If that pile don't hold out run yer face, an the rest kin folier arterward."
 The wagon came back the next even ing heavily laden, and the nel unloadet it at the door of the new cabin, wh ca was now completed, and there were busy hands at work putting it in order for occupancy.
 Nellie Newell was putting away the re- mains of her little supper on Christmas Eve when q smart rap sounded at her door She had been unusually Respondent all day. as she entrusted ths Christmas with prev ous ones spent Tn the Illinois home

 Glad of any change in her moaotonous life Nelly put on her hood, wrapped up the little ones and went out with him.
 The house Was lighted, and the sound of Burt's violin saving away on Home Sweet Homan greeted her ear as she stepped in at the door

There Was q real ''store carpet upon the floor, q set of cane-seat chairs, a table and couch, and through Burt's taste the windows had been curt lined with white lace, all cheap, but absolutely luxurious for that region, and giving the room really home-lIke appearances with possi- bilites for future improvement from her woman's touch.

The children took the opportunity to explore the rest of the house while she was playing, and came back proclaiming: 'Oh, mamma, there's q cupboard in the other room with lots O vittles in it an great big turkey" and so 1t came about that, in spite of in- suspicious circumstances, there Was a merry Christmas for the widow and the fatherless even at Camp Nogood.

How to Choose a Husband.

Don't be afraid to marry poor man; but be sure that he has something besides pov- erty to commend him. Be sure that he has two strong hands, not only skillful, but ready for hard work. Be sure that he has an occupation or q position, which may reasonably be depended upon to yield good, comfortable living. Be sure that he is industrious, and not self-indulgent; be sure that he is steady, working six days in the week and about tiftytwo weeks ill tho year A good, true, faithful young wom- ought to have no ''Yes" for answer to proposal Of marriage from lazy man or man who has no fixed occupation, or a man who has lived half his life off the hard earnings of his mother or sister, going about the streets meanwhile with his cane and his cigarette and his fine clothes playing the splendid gentleman. The girl who will marry such creature is one of the silliest beings on the earth. He will never be any comfort to her. He will only drag her down into wretched poverty, and into helpless, hopeless de- pendence i'll which she can no longer care for herself. Let no sef-respecting young woman ever put her head Into such a halter as that for the sake of having a hus- band If she does, the time will come when she will wish she had no husband -J.

 turning to a Normal Condition.
 BIRmNGHA3f. Ala, Dec. r.. - About eleven o'clock yesterday the officers who have been for q week searching for the body of little Irene HaScs, found it at the bottom of the lake, only a few feet from the spot where the body of Mrs. Hawes was found one week ago. II was weight ed down with about fifty pounds of rail- road iron, but bore no marks of violence. The finding of the body caused no exeite- ment. No further attempt at lyuching Hawes is anticipated. When told of the finding of his baby's body, Hawes refused to talk,
 When Hawes was Informed it the jail that the body of his little daughter Irene had been tounsi he looked up with just the slightest show of interest, and, slowly arising from his cot, inquired, without the slightest trem0r ill his voice: Where did they find her>"
 He was told, and without making any reply, or showing the slightest emotion, he resumed his seat, and, lowing his head sat for some time asif iH deep thought. He was asked if he would Ike to see the body, bat he made no reply. Sev- eral other questions elicited no answer except that hr had no statement to make.
 Fannie Bryant, the negro woman held as an accomplice, was next seen. She stated that she had already been informed by her lawyer that Irene's body had been found, and that he cautioned her not tO say anything, and refused to further con- verse on the subject.
 Before the reporter left the jail, strin- gent orders were issued to admit no ono to Hawes' cell. The news of the finding of the body created no excitement in the city. No crowds have gathered on the street, and very few have visited the undertaker's shop where the body lies.
 While no repetition of last Saturdays terrible affray is feared, every precaution has been taken to guard against any at tack on the jail. An extra force of deputy sheriffs are guarding the approaches thereto. No one is allowed to go near the jail without an order from the sheriff.
 The Coroner's jury, Investigating the shooting of last Saturday night, held only short session yesterday. A number of witnesses were examined, but their testi- mony was unimportant. Public feeling is rapidly assuming it's normal condition, and the belief is gaining ground that the Sheriff only did his duty.
