Among those who b at h ed at

young man with dark hair and
moustache. He wore a white gauze
shirt and blue tights, with red
belt around his waist. While he
was walking up and down the
beach young woman, about TWEEN
ty years old, dressed in a black
jersey and light seersucker skirt,
approached him. In her arms she
carried a boy about one year old.
The child was dressed in a short
muslin slip. Its other garments
lay on the beach. She asked the
young man if we would mind TAX
ing her baby out into the water
and giving him a dip. The young
man blushed and hesitated, but as
the eyes of several young ladies'
who had been admlring the baby
and had heard the request were
fixed upon him, he gaIlantly took
the young charge on bis arm and

once more. All this consumed
about ten minutes. When he
reahed the shore the young woman
was not in sight. He hunted up
and down the beach for her, but
could rot find her. The baby cried
loudly, and as the young man
trotted up and down the beach in
the cool northwest wind, with the
baby in his arms, he was the object

he sat down on the beach where
the infants clothes had been laid

tried to have the bathing house

dressed, but he was equally un.

perate, he took the child into his
bathing. house while he dressed
himself. One of the bath.keepers
stood on the outside to see that he

TWO SOUTHERN SISTERS.
LIVE SIDE BY SIDE FOR A MONTH
BEFORE THEY KNOW
EACH OTHER.
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Green.


Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Green.
The two ladies, both living IN
Atlanta now, were the principal
figures in a rather novel story
recently.
Mrs. Smith has lived in Atlanta
for some time. She knew that she
had a married sister named Mrs.
Green, but had never seen the
Mrs. Green of the family nor any of
the children, and in the lapse of
years since she had seen her sister
as a girl she had nearly forgotten
her too.
Mrs. Green, OH the other band,
knew that she had sister named
Mrs. Smith living in Atlanta, but
dlr't know exactly where or how
70 find out where, so when she
came to Atlanta Mrs. Smith knew
nothing about it.
Mr.. Green finally decided upon a
ueat little cottage near Alexander
street, and Mrs. Green was salts
fed. so they moved ont there and
are living there now.
BY a curious accident their next
door neighbOr was Mrs. Smith, the
sister Of Mrs. Green. The two
ladies' were soon upon speaking
terms, borrowed sugar and coffee
in a neighborly fashion, and each
was highly satisfied with her next
door neighbOr.
\ few days ago the two ladies
were at their front gate at the same
time. They each bought a water
melon from the same country
wagon, and then met at the fence
for a neighbOrly little chat.
"Do you know, " said Mrs. Green,
as she shaded her eyes with her
fam that l have married sister
living in Atlanta named Mrs.
Smith ~
NO. That's queer, tor I have a
married sister somewhere in
Georgia named Mrs. Green"
"Oh, l do believe I'm your sis
ter
"And / believe I'm yonr sister,
too
And over the low palng fence
between their homes the two Sis
tiers, for the first time in years,
EN- braced each other.
They had been next door neigh
bors for twenty.nine days before
they found out they were sisters

SHE SELLS $50 WORTH OF MAGIC
POWER TO A FARMER, WHO
NOW FEELS CHEATED.


RICHMOND, Aug. 23.-DuriDg
ten days past a band Of gypsles

This morning a well-to-do and in
telligent.looking farmer called at a
detectives office and told this sto.
ry:
II live about seven miles south
of Manchester. Ny wife has been
in bad health for some time, On
last Friday she came to Manches-
ter. About a mile beyond Man
chester there was a gypsy camp.
My wife had talk with one of the
gypsies, who informed her that
they could restore her to perfect
health, and requested her to come
next day and bring me with her.
On Saturday my wife and l visited
their camp. l was in feeble health
myself. | was informed by one of
these gypsies that if would put
50 in her hand for good luck she
could, for the additional sum of 80,
restore us both to health.
II had with me at the time $50.
| accepted her proposition. l put
50 in her hand. She then said l
must put the $40 note on my hand
and blow ms breath at it, and then
place it on her hand. | did so.
"Now,7 said she, take the next
$40 note from the roll, place il on
your hand, and blow your breath
on it, and place it in my hand :
and thus l continued doing until I
bad placed the $50, all l had, on
her hand. Now said she, you
take your hands and fold the bills
up. | don't want to touch them.
If I do it will destroy the magic
power Having folded them as di-
rectec, she took the money aud
placed il IN her bosom and said /:
Now, you and yOur wife come here
on next Saturday and you will be
each restored 70 perfect health,
and | will then return you this
money, except the 81 which you
placed in my hand for good luck,
and the 80 which ] charge YOU
for the cure. l shall have to keep
all the money, otherwise the mag
ic power will leave me-"
The farmer then said that when
he returned to see the gypsy the
gypsies had disappeared, and he
wanted 10 know how to get his
money.

If the cellar openings are ma

summer. The openings should be
mostly closed during the day and

This easy way of keeping sweet

sugar to each quart of corn. Just
