WIFE OF "UNCLE REMUS !"


How Joel Chandler Harris Met the LADY
He Married
In 1871 Joel Chandler Harris was the
associate editor of the Savannah Horn
ing Neaos, writes Annie Logan Carter In
the LADIES' Home Journal, and he lived
at the hotel where Miss Essie La Rose
and her mother were temporary guests.
Her father was the captain of steam
boat, and his family usually accompanied
him.
Mr.. Harris was an unmitigated blonde
with red hair and blue eyes, exceedingl,
appreciative OF pretty faces. Miss La
Rose was a handsome brunette, with
beautiful teeth and eyes to make her
smiles enhancing; the shrugs OF her
plump shoulders and coquettish vivacity
of manner being more eloquent than
both languages her tongue could speak.
The young editor had come to the table
d hOte, had seen two starry eyes and the
dark, curly tresses of lovely girl at her
sweetest of teens. The poetic faculty in
his numerous brain awoke He sought
an acquaintance with the lovely stranger
but many were the letters, and sweet
and tender the poems in her praise from
his brilliant pen, before the gentle heart
was won. They were married April 81,
1878. and lived in Savannah until the
Summer of 1876, when an epidemic of
yellow fever drove them to Atlanta,
Ga.
Mrs Harris was born in 1854 near
Albany, n. Y, and is the ideal wife of
her distinguished husband She makes
scrap books for him of his best news
papers articles, the reviews of his books
and sketches of himself from various
sources. She also takes care of the
many appreciative letters he receives
from the most famous writer's all over
the world. Not long ago she took up
volume of French fairy tales and tolk-
lore, which she rendered into English
while her grateful husband wrote them
down But she laughingly declares that
her accomplishments have dwindled
down to two-the making of fine butter
and getting the little ones off to bed by
eight o'clock.
Mrs. Harris then spends the evening
with her husband. He writes his stories
at night. While hs writes she sews or

VETERINARY DENTISTRY
Its Introduction Has Proved of Great
Benefit to Horse Owners.

Its Introduction Has Proved of Great
Benefit to Horse Owners.
Within comparatively few years a new
profession has sprung into existence
that of veterinary dentistry. Until a
few years ago all the dental work deem
tenpenny nail and knock off "wolf teeth"
to keep the horse from going bllnt, but
now teeth are extracted, not to keep the
horse from going blind, because they do
not affect the animals eyes muie than
does any other tooth, but to keep bit
from pulling and loosening them, caus
ing the horse to have sore mouth. AS
far as Imilarity of structure and kind
extend horses teeth are subject to the
same deterioratiug influence as the teeth
of man. They may decay and expose
the nerve enough to cause toothache, as
is sometimes seen when horse takes a
drink of cold water, causing him to
throw up his head or hold it sideways
until the pain is over. Sometimes "a
tooth becomes liberated, the accumu-
lated pus often causing the jawbones to
bulge out or it ~ break ana discharge
either through the nostril or upon the
outside, forming DISAGREE BILE running
sore. A horse Is tooth is not covered on
the outside with enamel like mans
tooth, but the enamel is folded through
the substance (dentiue) of the teeth
The enamel, being harder than dentine,
is not worn away as rapidly and presents
properly to nastcate coarse food. These
roughered surfaces should not be fled
off unless upon TIE edge 0f the tooth
when liable to cut the tongue or cheek.
AS horses teeth arc worn away by
| contact with opposite teeth, they grad
ually grow out of the jaw bone until, in
old horses. the teeth may simply rest
upon the the jaw, being held in place by
the gums. If one tooth should be broken
out, the opposite tooth is very liable to
grow until it becomes long enough to
| strike the jaw opposite and produce a
very sore mouth, making it difficult to
eat. The results of diseased teeth are
often serious and always important
They are sometimes the cause of indi-
| gestion and collie, because the food ia
not properly masticated. Sometimes
mastcation is 50 painful that a horse
will scarcely eat at all and becomes
| gradually emaciated. When the teeth
are diseased the saliva usually has a
very disagreeable odor. Diseased or
abnormal teeth are often the cause OF
horses pulling on the bit, or upon one
| line, or carry ing the head sidewise and
of other faults which can be removed by
good veterinary dentist. Dental work
properly done, does not deceive anyone
regarding horses age, ''bishoping'
work done by unprincipled men with a
view to deceive being easily detected
Colts, until five years old, should have
their teeth examined quite often. After
their teeth are all shed, at five years old
every year or two is usually sufficient.
After nice job of dental work that
adds to the health, comfort and useful
ness of the animal, it would be permits
sible, or be gratifying, at least, to .'look

Among the many interesting incidents
connected with the closing of the saloons
in Kittaning, Pa. leading merchant
tells the following:
A woman came into his store timidly.
She was evidently unacoustomed to
trading.
"What can l do for you?' inquired the
merchant.
81 want pair of shoes for little
GIRL" she answered.
"What number"
She is twelve years old?'
But what number does she wear?'
81 do not know"
But what number did you buy when
you bought the last pair for her?"
''She never had a pair in her life?'
You see, sir, her father used to drink
when we had saloons; but now that they
are closed he dosn't drink any more. and
this morning he said to me; "Mother,
| want you to go to town to day and get
Sissy pair of shoes, for she never had
pair in her life" thought, sir, if
told you how old she was you would
know the size to give me-"

The Supreme Court of the United
States has handed down a decision
which ought to convince the
liquor men that it is folly to make
another appeal to this court. The case
came from the United States Circuit
Court of the State of Kansas. A judge
of the court had heart an argument TO
show that the "Original package" ia W
was unconstitutional, but even if it were
constitutional then the Kansas prohioi
tory laws were Of no force unless re- en-
acted. The court held that the last
position was we'll taken, but did not
take up the constitutional qGes ion.
This decision of tho lower court has
been reversed. The Supreme Court
holds that the Original package" law
passed by the last Congress is conSti'u
tional, aud that it went immediately
into effect in all the states having prohi.
bitory laws without the re enactment of
the state laws.

LOOK at It In any light that can be
conjured up by our Democratic friends
one thing stands out In bold relief,
and that is, that the Democratic tax
collectors OF this city have s4,000.l6 OF
the peoples taxes in their pockets, and
the 5000 Republican poll-taxables for
whom the money was paid were re-
turned as delinquents to the Levy
Court. Take another step and another
fact appears.
When the Republican Levy Court
found what was doue, and attempted
to put the names OF those fraudulent
ly returned delinquents upon the as
sessment from which they never should
have been struck, one of the collec-
tors, a Democrat, got Democratic
attorney who got out an injunction
from Democratic Court Of Chancery,
and after argument the Democratic
Chancellor made tho Injunction per-
maneut keeping the names from being
put on the assessment.
This, OF course, settled the taxes col.
lected by the collectors. The $4,000. 10
collected as tho taxes OF $500 poll.tax-
ables, will remain as securely outside
Of the county treasury as the 1860 poll
taxables remain off the assessment
lists. And yet the only reputable
Democratic paper in this city has the
cheek to tell tho people that the Re-
publicans are to blame for this money
going into the pockets of the collec.
tors instead of into the county treas.
ury.
