Uses?
The girl thought rapidly, one hand,
beautiful and shapely, resting on the
clothesline, the other dropped at her
side.
She glanced up into the pale but
firm face of the man who had applied
to her for aid. His eyes were so blue
and manly, his whole countenance so
noble, her warm heart felt a throb of
pity. His captors were not soldiers
but swamp guerrillas-a bold, evil
disposed band. She had quite forgot
ten that he had told her that. Elma
Starlton was not in sympathy with tho
guerrillas infesting the swamps and
cane Drakes round about her home.
But, had she been. the manly face be-
fore her would have been sufficient to
shake it.

A High Life Chinese Wedding in Chicago.

1t was IA solemn but strange wedding.
The parties TO the contract were Moy
Sing, a disciple of Confucius, and Miss
Ida Wagner, a comely German girl
from Streator.
The ceremony was performed in
room richly hung in Oriental trappings,
near Hip Lungs Hotel. There were
present score or more Chinese, a few
of whom had wiveI OF Anglo Saxon
blood. All were in holiday attire, and
when the marital knot was tied there
was general rejoicing. The rites
were pronounced after the manner set
forth in the statute books of the State
of Illinois. The performance was soon
over, and then the friends gathered
about to congratulate the newly welded
pair, Just as Americans do. Then
queer little orchestra consisting of four
Celestials, performed on several odd
looking stiinged instruments and
tom-tom or gong, producing a weird
kind of music. There was nothing
elaborate in the dress either of the
bride or groom. Moy Sing wore a royal
purple silk robe, with the usual flow
ing sleeves and wide skirt, while his
bride appeared IN suit OF India silk.
At the conclusion the groom led his
bride to Hip Lungs hotel. at Dob South
Clark street, where he has rented
suite of rooms. 1t is an eminently re-
spectacle house, and is known to the
Chinese from San Francisco to New
York as the resort of the silk stocking
element of Monaghan society in Chi
cago. In this hotel two other China
men with American wives occupy
apartments, and the advent of third
white woman was duly celebrated.
The groom, Moy Sing, is native of
Canton, and is 23 years of age. He is
a cigarmaker in the employ of Sam
Moy. 1t is said that Mr. Sing met Miss
Wagner in Streator some years ago
while he was conducting a laundry
there. Chicago Inter Ocean

A point of special interest to visitors
in Portland is the house where the
poet Longfellow was born. 1t is in the
lower part of the town and attracts
continual attention.
Another point of interest in Portland,
and which is visited by every stranger,
is Longfellow square, one of the most
beautiful spots in the Forest City of
Maine. In the center of the square is
the splendid heroic statue of Longfel-
low, born and reared in Portland, the
pride of its people.
One of the Chicagoans returned from
Portland with unique story. A small
boy said to his mother:
Mother, give me money to go to the
circus"
"No, / can't let you go there"
"Then let me have a tooth pulled; l
want to do something"
There are many beautiful things to
be seen about Cushings Island, but
among the living pictures few call out
as much admiration as is bestowed
upon "the pretty girl" as she is called
by the many who have eyes for tho
beautiful. The pretty girl" is Miss
Lila Wittredge, of Lynn, Mass, who
came here with her mother. Miss
Wittredge has been ikened unto a
wild rose, she is so fair to look upon.
She is OF the brunette type, with dark,
lustrous eyes, a plentiful supply of
black hair, a complexion that is rich
and rare, defying description. Miss
Wittredge is about II years of age, but
is nevertheless a belle She has an
immense repertoire of dresses" in the
selection of which she has shown not
only startling originality but exquisite
taste. The professional artists have
thus far been unsuccessful in getting
Miss Wittredge to pose for them, but

Excursions to Boston are common
events. These parties usually consist
of ladies, as the gentlemen are too
scarce to be spared. The ladies, as a

encounter a storm, and come back

so seasick on the water that it is not to
be wondered at that several of them
wanted the earth while on the ocean.
