A CRACKER WEDDING.

Clad in coarse homespun cotton shirt
and jean pants, heavy, homemade
shoes, and a SLOUGH wool hat, rip"
Roger, tall, loose-jointcd, rambling,
weak-legged Cracker. tramps along
thin, winding path that shows brightly
in the sunshine like long, bright, zig
gag seam torn across tho dead-brown
carpet OF wire grass spread under tho
great pine'.
He carries an old fiddle under his
arm and whistles in an ear-spltting
fashion hasty snatche9 from a tav9rlte
local air, "Old Granny Rattletrap." 1t
is Saturday evening and he is either
going counting or to dance, because he
las his shoes on.
Down in the corner OF crackerland
neither sex wears shoes regularly, ex-
cept, perhaps, for about month on
each side Of Christmas. During the
rest OF the year these pedal ornaments
are part Of their Sunday fiXings.
It is Il travellers story that the cracker
maidens run barefoot through the
sharp, saw-likc wiro grass until it cuts
tho spaces between their toes entirely
back to their ankles, and their toes arc
often rs long rs their fingers.
Constant exposure to the soaring heat
OF those arid sands causes the solos OF
the mems feet split into great cracks
and assures, in which crickets find safe
refuge and live and increase their kind
in such great abundance that to obtain
fish-bait in the spring OF the year it is
only necessary for native TO stamp
heavily on tho ground and jar the
crickets out. When this fails to dis
lodge them, the cracker, ii he is real
anxious to 70 fishing, immer'cs his feet
in water. This last is an extreme re-
sort, however, and is never done as long
as it can be avoided,
Our friend rip" tramps heavil; on
with his "Granny Rattletrap" accom-
paniment until he comes TO a small.
one.room house in the midst OF small
clearing. A number of long, thin, sim.
ple.looking young fellows stand about
the door, alternately urging one anoth-
er to go in.
During the week the.e piney-woods
men and maids meet and greet each
other without the slightest reserve. lts
"Howdy, Bill" and Goo mawnin',
Nauce," without shadow OF restraint;
but once they put on their store clothes
and scent their red handkerchiefs ever
ything is CHANGED. Bill is bashful and
awkward and Nancy bushes. hides her
face, and murmurs inRudble replies.
1t is just so this evening when Grip"
arrives at the residence of Mr.. Ruster
Within the house are number OF
girls who, after the fashion OF the
maidcns of that section, are strong,
rosy-cheeked, big boned, healthy and
beautiful.

Chicago Grain Market.


Life in the country. especially In
our Southern country, where peo.
pie lived far apart and were EN-.
ployed oftentimes at considerable
distance from one another and from
the houses and homes In which they
ate and slept, tended by exercise In
communicating with one another. to
strengthen and improve their voices
for high and prolonged notes. A
wider range to the vocal sounds was
constantly afforded and frequently
required.
The voices OF women % well as OF
men were often utilized for long
distance calls" 1t may bo amusing
to note the difference in intonation
which was usually exhibited by the
sexes. When a man had occasion to
summon any one from distance, the
prolonged tone was placed on the
first note, the mphasis on the second ;
thus. "O--h, John" II female
called the prolonged tone and the
emphasis were placed on the last
note; thus, "You, John-n-yH

the South In the days gone by. 1t
used to be said OF my fathers old
negro foreman that he could be dis

Hunting, which was enjoyed and

pleasant day for an outing OF any kind,
and so the ladies of the Mission OF the
TRANSPORTATION of Edgewood were con-
graduating themselves yesterday that
they had chosen the day for their garden
party.
The spacious grounds of William II.
Hall on Broad street were at the service
of the ladies, and they presented very
inviting appearance after Dootns ana
stands had been erected.
During the afternoon .and evening the
grounds were visited by large NUMBER
of people, and In most every instance they
departed poorer, but the mission so much
the richer.-'twas for charity.
Eight young ladies in a very nice man

their heads looking through bonnets. In
