RED HAIR AND WHITE HORSES.
A boomerang Effect Resulting From
a Missent Telegram.

[From the Atlanta constitutional
They were talking about the red-headed-
girl-and- fad at the Kimball
house the other night, when somebody told
a good one on Sam Hard wick, whom every
body knows as general passenger agent of
the Georgia Pacific. Sam was with party
of Birmingham friends not long ago-gay
young society people they were, and all
well known to everybody in the Magic City
when somebody started the white horse
story. One young lady in the party had
ideal Titan hair, and the joke was, of
course, at her expense. There were white
horses everywhere. Every little station
brought another white horse to add to the
fair ones discomfort, and correspondingly
to the happiness of the men who persisted
in pointing them out. 1t was a white horse
day Glimpses of them met the gaze of
the party everywhere, until the victim of
all began to think that every horse and ev-
cry mule in Alabama was of that. to her,
detestible color
A bright idea struck Sam-hit him hard,
in fact ''Now, I'll bet $780," said he to
the white-horse man of the party, THAT
there won't be white horse at the depot
in Admission when we get there" The bet
was promptly taken, and the coming to
Admission was eagerly looked forward to.
In few minutes Hardwick looked at his
watch, and, murmuring something about
wanting to see the engineer" went for
ward. a minute later the train stopped
at little station. So intent was the par
ty upon looking at some white mules in the
distance that they didn't notice the brake
man, who hurried into the telegraph Office
aId hurried out again. Had they seen the
message he bore they would have read:
"To Blank, agent, Admission; $40 to you if
you have no white horses or mules at depot
when train arrives" But they didn't see
it.
Sam went back to the party chuckling to
himself and admiring his own cleverness.
1t was but few minutes when the conduc-
tor called 'tAnniston.'' The young ladies
looked out and laughed. Sans face wore a
benign smile as he pushed one of the men
aside, and pressing his face to the pane he
saw-white horses everywhere! In all that
concourse of drays and hacks every mule
and every horse was white. tap on the
shoulder aroused him. ''Mr. Hardwick,
Pm sorry, but could only get 19-" Sam
jerked the telegram from his hand, but
for minute was speechless. Then with
out word he handed rolls of bills to
the man with whom he had bet. The
telegraph operator had made the "no''
read "20."

FLOWERS ON THE DEFENSIVE.
How They Protect Themselves
Against Insects.

Ho" IneY FfOtccb
Against Insects.
TE II. Hardnge in New York Evening Post.
The ant is an extremely unpopular char
acter in the garden, and the flowers have
all laid their pretty heads together to cir
cumvent and thwart her. If they could
speak, they would bring forward surprising
accusations against that model insect, the
embodiment of industry and thrift, the in
structor of the sluggard, and the admired
of DR.. Watts. They would tell us that she
is an arrant thief. Every housekeeper
knows how fond ants are of sweet things.
When they have got into the closet, the
sugar-jars and the cake-box must be closed
with the utmost care. So among flowers
ants are terrible honey-thieves. They are
so small that they can slip down the throat
of flower, devour all its store of sweets,
and Chamber out again without shaking or
even touching the stamens. They often
come out as clean as they went in, and do
not carry away with them one grain of the
golden dust which the flower is 80 anxious
to send to its neighbors.
The il-used flower cannot employ bet
ter messenger to do the work which the ant
neglected 20 do, because its nectar is all
gone, SO that it has not the wherewithal to
hire one. If we watch bee among the
blossoms, we shall see that she hovers for
q moment over each as if undecided wheth-
er to stop and sip or not. Sometimes she
seems to conclude that the blossom has
been already visited and drained, and that
there la nothing there for her 1t appears
that the insect detects delicate odor from
the nectar in the flower, besides..the strong
er perfume which we can enjoy with her.
So the robberies of ants prevent the really
useful visits of bees, and thus not only inn
poverish the flower, but also spoil its pros
poets. Moreover, If the bee happens to
call while the ant is within, her delicate
proboscis may be seized in the intruder's
few such painful surprises, the bee, If she
be wise, win avoid the flowers In which she
experienced them.

All Souls church, where it took place, was decorated with profusion of plants covered with white blossoms and with palms in the chancel.

She car ried a large bouquet of lilies of the val ley. Curtis A. Gateley, brother of the bride, gave her away. Rev Dr Eaton of the Divine Paternity officiated. Miss Maud Lewis was maid of honor. She was attired in an exquisite gown of grey crepe de chine with opal trimmings and hat to match and carried large bunch of violets. Miss Lewis is daughter of George II. Lewis of Brooklyn, an old friend of the brides fa- ther. Messrs Charles Langley Gateley, Leonard $. Wheelr, Warren Titus and Frank R. Uallett were the ushers. Elnmohs Olark, Jr, brother or the bride groom, was the best man. After the cer- emony, the bridal party drove to 404 Fifth avenue, where the wedding breakfast was served.
