Another Variation or tho Returning Husband
who Finds His wife Married Again.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
CALHOUN. Ga. Nov. 27.-About six years ago
a young man named L. n. Newton fell in love
and married a Miss Huskins. They lived in
Barlow county. and for q short time their life
was happy. But after a few months the hus-
band suddenly disappeared. After a years
waiting-a year full of heart aches and bitter
ness-the young wife received the sad intelli-
gence that her husband was dead. The cold
iron Of despair entered her heart. But time is

atthe fair face Of Mary. For "A moment her cheeks

first love. He was splendid 70 look upon and she
knew II, and all of a sudden like the rushing of an
Alpine torrent. the kind OF Alpine torrents that
dash down the sides of Johus Mountain and
feed the waters OF Snake Creek, her old love
came back, and she declared she would go with
Newton whithersoever he listed-andt they went.
This wasa sinker on Bill. He didn't like for
his wife and baby to be taken away. especially
by q man who had tried to die and made a mis-
CRADLE failure. He wanted to help him die. But
he came to town, and. after swearing much on
the way, swore out q warrant for Newton.

quartet left for their homes.

From the san Francfsoo Aroonaut.
An English scholar has been collecting Stats
tics In regard to the manner In which men and
women make love to each other. He informs
the world that the number OF young Englishmen
who embrace their sweethearts ut the mo-
ment when they are inviting them to become
their wives amounts TO SO per cent. On
the other hand. 81 per cent. Of the men
in love kiss their sweethearts on the lips
at the critical moment. while 4 per cent.
shower kisses on their hair and 2 per
cent. content themselves with kissing
their hands. At one time 1t was the fash
ion for love-intoxicated youths TO fall on
their knees. when about to make, proposals of
marriage. but this fashion Is evidently dying

those In love at present fill on one knee, and
only 2 per cent. venture to sue for the lady's
