Richard Harding Davis thus writes O.
n lady who runs Il Texas ranch: When
ladies go TO call on Mrs. Richard King,
after they have reached the front gate
they have to drive ten miles up the walk
to the front door. But the baker, when
he wants to get at the kitchen, must
drive thirty miles from the back gate.
Mrs. King lives on her ranch, forty-five
miles south of Corpus Christi. Over her
acres roam 1905 head of cattle. These
are attended by 500 cowboys and 1900
ponies. When there comes an order
from Chicago butcher for 1000 head
of cattle, it is but short work to round
them up and send them on their way
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would find
this life ideally patriarchal. And none
the less so by reason of the modern inn

The marriage of Count Herbert Bfs.
marck to the young Countess uovos
was celebrated In the Calvinist church,
mt Vienna, Austria, a short time ago.
Prince Bismarck was present, wearing
the white uniform of the MapdeburS
cuirassiers, Of which regiment he is the
honorary colonel. He also wore the
ribbon of the grand cross of the order
of St Stephen of Hungary, in compli-
ment to nationality of his sons bride.
Prince Bismarck was loudly cheerx,d on

happy and affable. The Russian am

form of Russian general The Hoyos
family were in the picturesque gala
dress OF the Hungarian nobility. Not
an Austrian uniform was visible, and
the Austrian court was entirely unrep-
resented.
Comtesse Margarethes father is
Count George Hoyos, a partner in the
celebrated firm for the manufacture of
torpedoes ut Fiume, and her mother is
an Englishwoman, the daughter of Mr..
Whitehead, the founder of this torpedo

young comtesse has been brought ND

sister is married to great friend of

Count Herbert has always had de-
clded penchant for Englishwomen, and
it is the English bringing-up of his
bride that fascinated him. The engage

reported at various times within the

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: We

The representatives of people are
supposed to be the choice of majority
and therefore typical of the pervading

Taking this view of the situation here
We must conclude that there is strong
vein of public spirit in Graham, for /
have found the town council thor
oughly wide awake body. strongly ap-
preciative of progressive improvements
and readily seconding any effort in the

surance that this place is in the ad-
vance guard among the progressive

have not met personally all of the
council, but can say for the mayor, C. E.
Richardson, that if 1 am not greatly
mistaken in my estimate of the man, he
is soon to take his rank among the spir-
tied leaders of the time. A young man
of % years, he bears the appearance of
a man of mature years, and in his
views of men and things Mr.. Richard
son gives evidence OF judicial mind of
high order. A lawyer by profession,
the mayor is peculiarly qualified for the
office, and Graham will never regret
her choice in Mayor Richardson.
M. V. Wilson, the chairman Of tho
finance committee of the council, and
also cashier of the Bank OF Graham, I
find to be thoroughly progressive, full
of resources and the ability to put them
into effect.

affable gentleman, thoroughly consider.

A Chastity Marriage.

A stock raiser and ranch owner of
Homer, Neb., has just contracted one Of
the ghastiest marriages on record. He
was widower. Ten days before his
second union, he declares, he received a
spirit message saying that his wife was
in perturbcd state, his approaching
marriage being the cause. To propi.
tiate the wounded spirit the stockman
and his bride were married at midnight
on the grave in which his first wife was
buried. From exposure and fright the
strangely made bride has since been con;
fined to her bed.

among the working classes, is greatly af-

is good marriages increase, and are less fire.
quent in times OF commercial depression.
This fact indicates that the romance Of life
among the class who are generally
regarded as reckless In the matter
of marriage Is after all restrained by
dictates OF common prudence. During the
Lancashire cotton famine, early in the sos
l had church in Dundas. The failure
of cotton occastoned an abnormal boom 10
the jute trade, and Dundee was the principal
emporium for the import and manufacture
of the flexible fiber. 1t was then that that
town laid the foundation Of it's wealth and
greatness. In those prosperous times mar
riages were frequent. and in the course Of
years l united 10 the sacred bonds of mat
rimony greater number Of young couples
than In any similar period during my min
isterial career. A favorite fancy of the
millworkers was to be married at the manss,
and | was often amused at their lavish ex-
penditure and love Of display.
One evening had arranged TO marry a
couple at the manse, aud at the same time
an elderly friend, recently retired from a
successful business, was staying with me
and wished to see the ceremony Three
cabs drove up to the entrance gate, and my
room was Immediately filled with half a
dozen couples, who constituted the bridal
party. The men were in full dress black
sui.s. white kid gloves, buttOnhole flowers,
with ample display of linen and jewelry
The ladies were dressed in white muslin
trimmed with lace and decked with flowers
and coronets of glittering beads. 1t was in
deed gay aud showing scene. My friend
leaned back in an armchair In a corner of
the room, with his big fingers dovetailed
into each other lying across his capaoious
waistcoat, and, transf1xed with simple aston
ishment, gazed through his spectacles, that
seemed TO surround his eyes with phosphor-
esoent circles. When the ceremony was
over and the party had retired my guest
pushed his spectacles on TO his
forehead, and slapping his hands on
his knees exclaimed: Well, that
beats ALL What are the working classes
coming TOT l had to be content with a
humber wedding IN my day, and l reckon
l could now buy up the whole mill where
these people work. Mark my words, these
daft youngsters are beginning at the wrong
end of the tether, and that they will find
out some day. You can't make silk purse
out OF a sow's ear" could only smile at
this bit Of philosophy, aud say: THAT is
the order Of the day in Bonnie Dunnie"

place In another part Of the country, about
three miles distant from the town where 1
