ARTIST oIssoN.s ROMANCE.
Strange Meeting with tho Lady Whom
He Made His wife.

Strange Meeting with tho Lady Whom
He Made His wife.
With the marriage in Richmond, Va,
of Artist Charles Dana Gibson with
Miss Irene Langhorne. one Of those ro-
mances that seem to properly belong
to those stories beginning "Once upon a
time beautiful princess" etc., came
to a happy conclusion, says the New
York World. Ten years ago Gibson per-
suaded the humorous paper, Life. to
pay him 81 for drawing. That was
his start in New York. What Life
wanted at that time was pretty girls.
and pretty girls was what Mr.. Gibson
was simply yearning to draw.
Little by little young lady, first
known as the American girl" and SUBJ
sequently as the Gibson GIRL" began
to be a well known figure in prominent
weekly and monthly magazines. When
asked, as he often was, who this beau
tiful unknown was, Mr.. Gibson used to
laugh and say she was a dream. Mr..
Gibson used to believe that his un-
known beauty did not exist, but none
the less, Pygmalion-like, he worshiped
his own creation.
Just a year ago at the horse show
Mr.. Gibson came very near having a
paralytic strike, for, as he was turning
the corner by the boxes, he almost ran
into the living, breathing reality of his
artistic vision. 1t was Miss Langhorne.
Virginia belle. An introduction fol-
lowed and Mr.. Gibson prosecuted his
suit ardently and successfully.

A Test of Love,

This tale is told in the orient: A lady
one day found a man following her, and
she asked him why he did 80. His reply
was:
"You are very beautiful, and am In
love with you."
"Oh, you think me beautiful, do you?
There Is my sister over there. You will
find her much more beautiful than 1
am. Go and make love to her."
On hearing this the man went to see
the sister. but found she was very ugly,
so he came back in an angry mood and
asked the lady why she had told him a
falsehood. She then answered:
"Why did you tell me n falsehood?"
The man was surprised at this accuse.
ton and asked when he had done so
Her answer was:
"You said you loved me. II that had
been true you would not have gone t.
make love to another woman."-Phila
delphia Record.

A Novel idea

The Omaha Weekly world-Herald
has struck another novel idea for in

prizes to those new subscribers who
construct the shortest sentence contain
ing all the letters Of the alphabet.
This Is sort of reverse of last years
prize contest, when the object was to
construct the largest number Of words
out Of certain letters.
1t will be Interesting to note how
short a sentence can be made and still
contain all the twenty-six letters in the
alphabet. The trouble, Of course. will
lie to get In such letters as K, y. and q.
Ex-Congressman Bryan. who edits

There is more than one food
which will cause the body to
increase in weight. A free
supply of sugar will do this;
so will the starchy foods;
cream. and some other fats.
But to become fleshy, and yet
remain in poor health, is not
what you want. Cod-liver oil
increases the weight because
it is a fat-producing food. But
1t does far more than this. 1t
alters, or changes, the pro-
cesses of nutrition, restoring
the normal functions of the

Kenneth Findley Hawkins, who suc- ceeds himself for the second time for the honorable office of county treasurer, is a native of Jefferson county; was born eight miles below this city in Jones' val ley July 30, 1854. MT. Hawkins is what is termed self-made man, his early school ing being gotten at home and in a coun- try school. After he had passed his ma Jority by four years he took a business course at Goodman's Commercial school, Nashville, Tenn. From his 18th to his 2lst year he drew the left line over a horned horse, hauling logs to his broth CTS saWmill. near McCalla. From then until his 18th year he spent his time at carpentering and farming. After this he entered the office of Tax Collector w. J. Mims, and it was here he first asked for the office he now holds. In his first race he had one opponent, in the second none and this time three. He has made faithful guardian of the county's money, and it is safe to say it will, while in his keeping, always remain intact and se- cure.

Greensboro, Ala, in September, 1881. Here the ob- stacles which. so often discourage and thwart the young and ambitious began to appear in the way of i'll health and lack of funds. The latter was to a great extent overcome by teaching, mining and farming, and in 1885 entered the mercan- tile business with his uncle, J. B. Elliott, al Leeds Jefferson county, Ala. He was married to Miss Clara Belle Dugger, Greensboro, Ala. June 10, 1888, and in 1892 was elected on the democratic ticket for commissioner of the fourth district of Jefferson county.
