A Man Saves the Baby and Marries
the Woman.
A romantic marriage occurred in
Atlanta, the parties to it being Mr..
H. F. Bailey, of Jackson, Miss, and
Miss Hodges, of Virginia. Mr..
Bailey is somewhat past so years of
age, and the bride is about 80.
The couple first met during the
war, when Miss Hodges was baby.
1t happened when the northern sol
diers approached Jackson, Miss.
The parents Of Miss Hodges resided
there at that time, and when the
grand rush to avoid the Yankees
was made Mr.. Bailey, then con-
federate soldier, secured a wagon and
moved the Hodges family. In the
hurry and excitement the little girl
was forgotten, and she was not
missed until the family had gone
several miles.
Mr.. Bailey volunteered to go back
and find her, which he did. The
child was found in the road near her
home crying. Mr.. Bailey carried
her to her parents.
Soon after that Mr.. Hodges moved
with his family to Virginia, and Mr..
Bailey saw them no more for 30
years.
Last year his wife died, and it oc-

THE EVENING HoURs.
Pleasant Way in Which to Pass Them
About the Elreside.


There are many little items that go
to make up pleasant evening enter
tainments for young people. The
old-fashioned candy-pull, apple-par-
ing, spelling match and singing
school seem to have passed out'of ex-
istence as regular entertainments.
Of these we have left but the spell
ing contest, which is so revamped
and transformed that we scarcely
recognize in it the old custom of a
quarter of century ago. Games of
forfeits are less popular than they
used to be; and as there are still
many people who disapprove of
dancing, something must be invented
to pass away the time.
Somebody has devised a bit of en-
tertainment in the way Of marsh
mallow party. The guests to this
are preferably few, only so many as
can sit around an open CRATE being
considered the proper thing. To be
sure, friend or two may sit little
way back and be served with the
dainties as they are prepared.
A bright fire of Goals in an open
CRATE or fireplace is the first neces-
sity. A dish of marshmallows is
provided and number of long, slen-
der sticks. The friends gather about
the fire and thrust the sticks into the
snowy blocks and hold them over the
Goals until they become of a light
brown color. They may be eaten hot
or placed on dishes to be served later.
To take away the appetite and make
one feel delightfully."- creepy, the
lights are turned down, and the mem
bers Of the party relate the most
blood-curdling of ghost stories. The
one that tells the most narrowing
story and the most successful toaster
of marshmallows gets the prize. For
the worst story and the most mis-
takes in burning the candies, drop
ping them in the ashes and otherwise
::::s t..i.g hem, there :s t....;;:-.s
prize, which is usually some absurd
thing like picture in caricature, a
shoe-sole, with some comic verse
written ON it, or paper bag made in
the shape Of a stocking and filled
with small potatoes. The first prize
may be any pretty or dainty object,
from a Japanese napkin to bit of
cut glass. The mistress provides
aprons or large napkins to cover the
dresses, and rug or piece of crash
IS laid down before the CRATE, especial
" if there are youngsters who are
likely to be careless. A little after
noon tea table is placed to hold the
dish of candies, and there is large
plate for the sticks. At one of these
parties the entertainment was closed
BY the company reciting, in unison,
D popular poem. The ingenuity of
The hostess and her friends can sug-
yest many variations on this plan,
and additions in the way of reading,
songs or stereopticon views are al
ways welcome.-N Y. Ledger.

Overlooked.

Some Republicans take delight
in comparing this country to Mex
leo.
We beg to remind them that
there are no tramps in Mexico, nor
is there any Mexican tramps in the
United States.
Further, while great numbers of
Americans are going to Mexico and
engaging in business and >. taking
up their abode in that country no
Mexicans are coming to this coun-
try for the purposes of business or
residence.
1t is somewhat strange, there-
fore, that country SO inferior to
ours should attract our people and
our capitalists, while our country,
which is so superior in every way,
attracts nothing from Mexico.
This is one point the gold bugs
seem to have overlooked entirely.

If you want to catch minnows
you have to bait your hook for
minnows. When a hook is bated
for largo fish the minnows will
play around and nibble but never
get caught. So it is with men,
they go to hear speech or sermon
and if they are reasonably intelli-
gent they can tell whether the
speech OF sermon is intended for
largo or small game, and if it is for
large the small are seldom caught.
1t is notorious fact that there is
moro large game caught on small
game bait than there is email game
caught with large game bait.

Mexico, too, has her independ-
ence day, and it comes on Sept. 10.
On that day, in 1910, Father Hi
dalgo, a young priest who passion
ately loved liberty, proclaimed
from his pulpit rebellion against
the cruel yoke of Spain. He not
only proclaimed liberty, but he
began to fight for it. He armed a
few followers and started the bat
tie for freedom. He was captured
and died the death of n martyr be-
ing shot by court martial order
June 26, 1911. His head, and the
heads of three other patriots slain
with him, were exposed for days
upon poles. But they only kind
led more fiercely the fires of rebel
lion, and Mexico at length became
independent in 1924. But the
Mexicans do not celebrate their in
dependence day with noise and
gunpowder explosions, as we do.
Their idea of a good time is to
have cockfghts and music.
