A MiIed Marriage Cere-
1llO2l1J.

Judge Lea, of Morgan
county, who is a red-hot Sill
yer man and somewhat ex-
citable in his nature in mar
rying a couple recently got
the marriage ceremony mixed
up with the Democratic plat
form lately adopted at the
Chicago convention.
After n1istaking two OF the
attendants for the bride and
groom, he started Oft in this
fashion:
Dearly beloved VIC are
gathered to gether here in
in the sight of God and in
the presence of these winess-
es to join together this man
and woman in holy matrl-
mony at the ratio of 10 to l.,
which is an honorable estate
instituted of God in the time
of mans innocency, signify
ing unto us that the standard
silver dollar shall be a full
legal tender equally =. with
gold for all debts, public and
private, into which holy es-
tate these two persons pres
ent come now to be joined.
Therefore if anyone can
show any objection to Will
liam Jennings Bryan being
selected President Of these
United States, let him now
or forever after hold his
peace. l require and charge
you both to stick to the Dem
ocratic platform lately aGop-
ted in Chicago and if any of
you know of any impeachment
why ye should not, speak
now or forever hereafter
hold your tongue. ATLANTA

That TAB

That little tab at the end
of your shirt-bosom!
Did you ever stop and think
about it? You never did,
Did you ever ask yourself Sc
why it was there at all! NO.
Do you ever use it? No.
What is the use of having
it? You don't know.
Yet on every one of your
shirts is that tapping, use
less tab. 1t has a button
hole carefully worked in it.
But you can't button it to
anything. Your shlrt-maker
himself will tell you that.
Try to button it to your
drawers or trousers and you
will have a pressure on the
back of your neck that is un-
bearable.
The "Danbury News" edi-
tor once suggested that all
Americans shonld cut off
these tabs, and out of a part
of the saving thereby pay the
national debt. The balance
of the amount saved could
be used to provide a new ma

GOiag Back to Grd1ad1nOth-
ers Ways
The pink-cheeked woman
will have the call over her
pale faced sister this fall.
Pink cheeks are coming in
vogue again. They do every
now and then, dlsplacing
ivory smoothness and the
creamy tint of the brunette.
They go we'll with the gay
autumn wraps, and deml-
season hats of many hues,
But the pink must be natural
not the artificial article that
comes out of the rouge pot.
No real pink did ever come
out of anything of the kind,
anyway.
TO be in the fashion the
young women of to-day have
gone back to a little t r c k
our grandmothers employed
for coloring their cheeks a
natural red. No rab1t's foot
goes with it, nor a piece CT
ribbon dipped in alcohol. It's
just a pinch of the cheeks
with the ends of the thumb
and fore6nger.
Just how to pinch is the
secret which few know. The
thumb and fore6nger must
be brought together near the
tips, and the nails must be
carefully watched, so that
they do not cleave into t h e
flesh. Then a little ridge of
the cheek above the cheek
above the cheek bone is
picked up and given a sharp,
short pinch, The p n h
must be sharp enongh to
cause a !tingling sensation,
If it is not, it is of no avail.
Then there must be neither
too much nor too little Of it.
From SIX to eight pinches
for each cheek will suffice.
The pinching must be done
with the same accuracy that
artificial rouge is laid on.
The contour Of the c h G e k
must be carefully studied,
ard in order to do this cor
rectly it is well for the girl
of fashion to have rouge laid
on by an experienced masse-
use or face beautifier, in Or
der to find out just where the
cheeks must be pinched to
produce a pleasing effect.
Then let her draw an i'm
imaginary line around the mas
seuse's work, and ever after
follow that line in the pinch
ing process, The result of
careful pinching is the pink
est kind Of cheek, it's cause
the bringing Of the blood to
the surface. Our & r a II d :
mothers knew the secret
well, and if you meet an old
lady to-day with silvery hair
and pink cheeks you m a y
rest assured that she has
learned the trick from her
mother. No paint or lotion
in the world can initiate the
soft, warm glow produced by
the scientific pinch Of the
fingers, - Republic.

Awarded to LfnakeX.

The contract for painting the corridors
and a few rooms on the third floor of the
Treasury Department building has been
awarded to James Linskey of this city at
his bid of 1.2i5. Hobson & Co. put i'm the
lowest bid for this work at s913 but 1t was
rejected because Of alleged irregularity and
also because Hobson said privately he didn't
want the job. The Painters Assembly of
the Federation of Labor protested against
the award of the contract to Linskey on
the ground that he was an alien, but the
Treasury Department evidently did not
think that sufficient ground for rejecting
his bid. AS one of the officials put il,
There is nothing in the law confining the
work 10 citizens Of the United States and
consequently 1t was not deemed nece ssar,.
to inquire into the nationality OF the re-
Spective bidders" He said that as a fact
it was not known at the department wheth-
er Linskey was or was not an alien and
the contract was awarded to him simply
because his bid was regarded as most ad-
vantageous to the department.

"The Massacre of the Innocents' is
collection of short stories intended to
be representative of the contemporary
literary movement known as the Bel
gian Renaissance. The volume is inter
esting and significant. Nine writer's
are represented in a dozen tales, and
the impression conveyed by the group
as a whole is that those qualities in
the short story which are associated
with De Maupassant at his best are
the ones most sought for by the
younger Belgian writers. Studying the
stories more closely certain modiflca-
tions of this impression become evil
dent. The realistic trend of the book
is dashed with the essays into the
realm of the vague and mysterious
made by MN. Fenart and Richelle
1.-THE Shadowy Bourne" of the latter
suggests a comparison to Gautier,
which is greatly to the disadvantage OF
the Belgian writer.
The title story is the only prose tale
which has been published by Maeter-
lnck. 1t is the scriptural story of the
massacre of the innocents, retold with
a great variety Of horrifc detail and
set in Flemish scenery. 1t links itself
with "The Denial of ST. Peter" by
DemOlder, also included in the collec-
ton. The latter writer has done a very
considerable amount of work of this
sort, which is the exact equivalent in
literature of the Biblical pictures Of
the old Flemish painters, who illus
trated the Bible stories with Flemish
folk against a Flemish Landscape. The

oom and maternity are God-appointed
functions. In gladly fulfilling these
functions,she best becomes mans help
meet. She may be admitted, but she is
not needed in business. She may enter.
but 1t is doubtful to my mind if she
materially benefit any Of the profess
slons. She may seek to control poll
tics, manage the government of the
state and run for Office, but she is
manifestly out Of place if she does
these things. Her sphere is in a better
place, at the source Of things she con-
trolls. Home is her kingdom, and AL
mighty God has so constructed her,
physically, socially, mentally and tenn
peramentally, morally and spiritually
that there her power shall be manifest
ed, felt, transmitted to others.
In the world, behaving like men,
they lose their influence. Remaining
as women, satisfied to be women and
womanly, they move the men who
move the world. Constituted, as we
men are, we need the refining influence
Of woman. The more we can have Of
it the better for us.
1 recommend young men to go into So
ciety, to love the companionship of women
good women, to seek such companionship. I
tremble for the young fellow who cares
nothing for such society, avoids such COM
partnership. He who enjoys the company of
good women will hate association with any
other. The man who loves them as sisters
and mother, wife and daughters, will
never use women as tools and instruments Of
his lust. The adjustment of a knights
armor by his lady's hand was something
more than the fashion of the day. Involved
in this custom is a deep principle A man
is less than well equipped unless a woman's
hand has braced his equipment. Say what
you will of bravery. courage manly indie
pendence. 1 tell you man is only half
man until he loves a true, good woman.
There's time for everything, and doing the
right thing at wrong time often defeats the
object sought. 1t would be foolhardy, may
be fatal, for young men in college to be more
concerned about falling in love and getting
married, than pursuing faithfully their
studies, and preparing we'll for the studies
and preparing we'll for the sterner duties of
life; but there is no denying there is one in
the world who feels for a man who is sad
keener pang than he feels for himself; there
is one to whom reflected joy is better than
that which comes direct; there is one who
rejoices in another's honor more than in any
which is ones own" there is one who will
live and love and love on; there is one who
