An Eloping fai1 take to Water

SHERMAN, Texas, May 2O.-1ntelli-
gence reached here yesterday afternoon OF
most remarkable elopement escapade
which occurred Friday night at point in
the Indian Territory, about thirty miles
Northeast of this city. Near q large
stream which flows into the Red River
lives white family by the name of Cor.
don, composed ofan old man and his wife,
several sons and daughter.
A few months ago young man by the
name of Adams came into the neighbor-
hood, hailiug from Alabama, and seek
ing location in which to engage as
school teacher. He soon became ac.
quainted with Miss Gordon and fell in
love With her. After q short period of
wooing his love vas reciprocated.
The father and brother of the girl pro-
tested against the engagement, and put
a stop to the associations of the young
lovers.
Adams by a clandestine correspond
ence with the young lady arranged an
elopement, and.Friday nighthe met Miss
Gordon q short distance from her resi-
dence and started to escape on horseback
They were pursued, however, by the
father and brothers Of the girl so closely
that at the banks of the stream, which
has been made deep and wide by the
backwaters of the Red River, the couple
were obliged to dismount in face of their
pursuers. Young Adams is an expert
swimmer, and, seeing no other way to
escape, grasped Miss Gordon in his arms,
plunged into the water and swan safely
across with her to the other side, leaving
the furious father and brothers with no
remedy but to return home in disgust.
The lovers succeeded in finding proper
officer, who united them in marriage un'
der the liberal laws of the Choctaws,
which do not require marriage licenses.

What little things 60 to make up our
character Little thoughts that are for
ever coming and going through the mind
cause us to utter words that may be soon
forgotten by us, but God remembers
them. and Others are Influenced BY them
to act. The little acts Of our every day
life make our habits, and our habits form
our character, which is eternal. How
important, then, that the beginnings be
right. A bee may alight upon your
head, but you need not let him stay there
till he stings. Evil thoughts may come,
but knock them off your mind at once.

would take occasion now to impress Its
Importance upon every reader OF the

naturally. The selections were choice,
and the recitations would have done
credit to schools of much greater pre'en'

"The eighty-eights in English his
tory not only bring great events, but
more particularly they bring foreign

in Good Words for June, is the con-
clusion which We must arrive ut, if
We were to play with chronological
cOincitlenrnces. In 1888, the Spanish

But in 1796 French troops s,liIcd for
Ireland, in 1893 they landed there,
aud from 1900 to 1905 our danger
from invasion was greater than it
had been in the days either Of tho

seem to suggest that every hundred
years or tlleIpabouts, England be-
comes subject to catastrophe from

Welll.sto.,.

An English nobleman writing of
Wellington, just after Waterloo,
says: che is quite unspoilt by sue
cess, gay, frank, and ready to con-
verse;"
"He has none of the airs of a great
man at the head ofa hundred thous-
and men," wrote another; che is full
Of life and good-humor."
He rejected the congratulations
offered him nfter his return to Brus-
sells from Waterloo, saying: cit was
IL dreadful business; thirty thousand
men destroyed, and a plagued near
thing"
"Oh!" answered the duke to soci-
ETY. woman who asked him to describe
Waterloo, cit il very easy done! We
pummelled them, they pummclled lis,
and l suppose We puinmcllcd the
hardest, SO we gained the day."
Wellington's head was not turned
by his popularity. ''lf any one be
disposed to grow giddy with popular
applause" lie once said, 81 think q
glance toward my iron shutters will
soon sober him."
Those "iron shutters" always re-
minded the duke of the fickleness OF
the London mob, and he often re-
ferred to them. During the debate on
the Reform Bill, which Wellington
opposed, the London populacc, for
getting his services, broke the win
dows Of Apsley House, his city resi-
dence, and did much injury to his
property. The duke put up iron
shutters to his windows and there
they remained until after his death.
Some time afterward, when he had
rcgained his popularity, he was fol
lowed by a large crowd of men, who
chcered him heartily.
He received it oil with indifference,
but walked his horse to Apsley House.
He dismounted at the gate, gave the
rcins to IL servant, turned round to
the crowd, pointed to the iron shut
tels, made an ironic,,l bow, and en-.
tered the court without saying O
word.

Swine Improvement.

In an address before the National
Swine Breeders Association, Prof.
Morrow, of the Agricultural Depart
ment of Illinois University, stated
that those engaged in the improve
menu OF swine had been remarkably
successful. Not in one breed alone,
but in q number, there has been ex
traordinary development in the
qualities desired-rapid growth,
early maturity quiet disposition, and
readiness to lay on flesh. Differing in
minor points-color, size, form as to
detail-there is comparatively little
essential difference between half-,l-
dozen leading breeds, and they are
becoming more and more alike.
