How They Were Married.

The wife of popular preacher says
that fine looking young farmer, rough
ly dressed, with an OK whip in his hand,
knocked at the door and was shown into
the parlor. There he laid his whip upon
the mantelpicce and proceeded to make
known his errand.
Il say parcon," he began, with some
embarrassment, ''if / was to figger roun
today till got things fixed to my no.
ton, could come up here long with a
girl an git Iaarried?'
tainly. What seems to be the troubles'
"Wal.' answered the farmer. '.I've
got my license-that's all ready; got it
more'n a week ago. An now I've got q
place to git married at. : That's two
things. But amt said nothing to the
girl yet. She's i'll town today, though,
all | seen her in store buyin some
things, an I'm a-goin right down an ask
her."
He took down his whip, flung it over
his shoulder and went out of the door
and down the street. The minister and
his wife laughed, but the wife went
often to the window and peeped out to
see whether. the expeetant couple were
in sight.
More than an hour passed; she had
nearly given them up; but at last they
appeared-the girl, as the parsons wife
expressed it, "a perfect little beauty and
as neat as pin"
81 had lots O. trouble a-fndin her,"
said the farmer by way of explanation,
and then they stood up and were mar
ried, while the bride seemed hardly to
know whether to smile or to weep. But
when the ceremony was over and the
minister's wife said something to her
about it's being SO sudden she answered,
while tears brimmed her eyes, ''But you
see, ma'am, I've loved Jim ever since /
can remember, and he was just too
stupid to find it out."-St. Louis Re-
public.

Why the Soldier Ran.

when Sherman was marching
through Georgia, myself and COM
panion went on a little foraging expedi-
tion," said o. f. Rudiker. 1--WE had
long weary tramp without finding any
thing to replenish the larder, for the
country had been secured by foraging
parties several times before. We finally
sighted cabin inhabited by an Irish
woman. In high board inclosure We're
a dozen fat geese. We arranged it that
should engage the woman In converse
ton while my companion appropriated
goose. He fastened long linen thread to
his bayonet, attached well baited fish
hook and began angling in the goose pen.
Suddenly there was a loud squawking,
and we saw big fat gander fiutter to
the top of the pen and make toward the
soldier, who was beating a retreat. The
woman was greatly amused, and called
out, Och, me darlint, don't run; shure
the gawnder's only playin wild yez.'
'Playin nothinr called back the fleeing
soldier, tho blamed thing means busi-
ness,' and the bluecoat disappeared with
the squawking gander in hot pursuit"
st. Louis Globe-Demccrat.

Training Race Horses.

Study the idiosyncrasies Of each indi-
vidual horse. Endeavor that the ground
over which you try should be as nearly
as possible similar in its gradients to the
course over which the race will be run
Give your horses plenty of fresh air and
exercise, but feed and clothe them we'll.
If it is suggested that they should be
lightly clad in winter consider how you
would like ityourself. Above all things,
remember that race horse is always
going up OF down hill in point Of condi-
ton, and that he is very rarely on the
summit. Change your exercise ground
as often as possible, horses being as liza
BILE to boredom as men.-London Satur-
day Review.

Impure Air to Blame.

Speaking of fresh air an English
authority says: "We suspect that not
liability to cold, but to gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, neuralgia, some forms
of headache and many forms of nervous
irritation are to be conquered by con-
stantly giving lungs and skin a fair
chance of getting rid of these poisons.
We suspect that much of the intemper-
ate drinking in towns results from the
depressed feeling which follows work
done under the same conditions"

Expense Not Considered.

Wife-Now, if you intend to give me

Husband-No indeed, my love. Hang

ROSE SONG.

Plant above my lifcless heart
Crimson roses red as blood,
As if the love pent there SO long
Were pouring forth its flood.
Then, through them, my heart may tell
Its Past Of Love and Grief,
And shall feel them grow from it
And know vague relief.
Though rotting shroud shall feel their roots
And into them myself shall grow.
And when blossom at her feet
She on that day shall know!
