A Maiden Coy but not Hard to Please


a Maiden Coy but not Hard 10 Please.
Some days ago a minister OF this
town, one who serves in that division
of the army Of the church militant
which was organized by John Calvin,
was sent for TO perform the holy rite
of matrimony for couple who reside
in the hill country on the north side OF
the county. After journeying far,
through the intense heat, the reverend
gentleman reached the point to which
be had been directed, where somewhat
TO his surprise be found no signs OF
festive event No garlands decked the
cottage entrance, and nothing indicated
the traditional merriment of marriage
bells. An investigation revealed the
fact that the prospective groom
was the only merry thing about
the whole place, his mirth being OF
the kind that comes from occasional
baths in mountain dew" or periodical
strokes Of Jersey lightning while the
bride had taken to the woods and
couldn't be found. To use hackney
ed phrase here was a state of thing,
aud after some deliberation the parson
came to the conclusion that nobody was
likely to commit matrimony there and
it was useless for him to linger, so he
told the parties present that he thought
it best, in view of all the circumstances,
to postpone the event until there was
little more unity between the two souls
which should have but single thought,
mounted his horse and rode off.
Scarcely had he gotten out of
sight when he was hailed by q
messenger and informed that the
bride had come out of the woods
and expressed her willingness to wed
the man of her choice. The preacher
again said no, and rode on. He had
put several miles between him and the
point of conflict when the groom him
self, his horse in lather, overlook him.
He stated that matters had been salts
factorily adjusted, and if he would re-
turn and perform the ceremony a
double fee should be his. The minister,
who was unrelenting and little aggra-
waited, told him that because of his
condition and the refusal of the maiden,
he did not think it proper that they
should be married without further con-
sideration, and he would not return.
The groom eyed him disgustedly for
moment and then expressing the idea
that he appeared to be powerful
particular parson, but he didn't care
-" wheeled his horse and disappear
ed at full speed to muse, no doubt, on

WHY southern people should thank
Mrs. General Grant for having been Or
dinarily polite to Mrs. President Davis
is what only the few who have done SO
can tell, and they can't, satisfactorily
to any body except themselves. If
Mrs. Davis had met Mrs. Grant in a
southern hotel and had treated her
with the common courtesy due a prom
inent stranger, does moral man sup
pose that she would have deserved or
received the thanks Of northern people
for having done so? Bat gush is a new
quality in the South, and southern gush-
ingis INDUCED in only by those who be-
long to the ''ncw' South. That there
is new South, is unfortunately too

ALlS WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
A Real-Life Story that Matches
Some of the Flights
of Fiction.
How the Honor Of Good Men Was
IeopardiZed by II Secret
Marriage.

Early in the spring there was a scan
dial set atloat here which coupled the
names Of several honorable men with the
delicate situation of q IN who was
believed to be single.
This woman was Miss Minnie Beaster,
a tall and portly blonde of Scandinavian
birth, who kept a small notion store
near the postoiilcc. She suddenly broke
up her business, sold her goods, and
went away, and there were some very
ugly rumors at the time as to the man
who was to blame for hcr trouble. Ow-
ing TO the wealth and prominence Of one
of the gentlemen whose name was men
toned in this connection Il report be
came current that there was IA deliberate
schemn on foot to blacknail him for a
large amount, and it was even said that
a suit had been begun against him by
the woman
TRIBUNE reporters who made inquiries
at the time were told by Miss Beastcr
that all these rumors were lies made out
of whole cloth, but that her lips were
sealed for the time Go that she could not
tell the facts. So the rumors were con-
tinued and public reference has been
mace TO them even in the last few days.
Now TIE TRIBUNE is enabled to clear
up the whole mystery.
Miss ~lieaster was secretly married to
John Burke, who kept the Cascade hotel
here, over a year ago at Helena. The
ceremony was performed by a justice of
the peace and the parties to the secret
contract came back here and pursued
their regular business as usual. The
reason given for having the marriage
such a dense secret is that John Burke
had business affairs that must be settled
before the marriage could be made pub
lie or his financial ruin might be the re-
suit. Therefore Miss Beaster was sworn
to secrecy, and she kept her secret even
after her w reputation was assailed,
and men who had befriended her becams
the butt of gossip and scandal. She was
jealous in her efforts to pro-
tect the names of these gentlemen
but as sne failed to give IA satisfactory
explanation Of her own condition, tongues
continued TO wag, and the gossips
winked their weather eye and shrugged
their shoulders with Ominous meaning.
Then Miss Beaster disappeared from
the scene and it was said that she had
been paid to get out of the way.
On July 10 Miss B~easter returned from
Chicago, where she has been for several
months as Mrs. John Burke. While in
Chicago she had a religious marriage at
st. Peters Catholic church, and joined
