MUST MARRY EARLY.
Italian Girls if Not Married When Is
are Considered Old Maids.

Marriage at Is or 16 for girls is pos
itively obligatory if they expect to
hold up their heads at all in the very
best Italian society. Plenty of instan-
ces are to be found where these lit
tie, oldish, dark eyed. shrill voiced,
women have married at -. A rather
ludicrous and curious example came
under the notice of factory inspec>
tor two or three years ago.
If an Italian girl is not married be-
fore she is IS the neighbors begin to
talk and say to each other what big
pity it is that Angelica is an old maid.
They usually marry one of their own
countrymen, or sometimes an Irish
man. The Irish and Italians mix bet
ter than the Italians and any other
class. The men marry older than the
women. There seems to be no period
of happy girlhood for Italian women.
They are children until they are ~,
and then they marry in two or three
years and begin the cares of life.
Besides the urging of parents and
the tattle of friends, Italian children
are induced to marry often by the adj
vice of their priests. Their condition
of life is wretched at home. One sin.
gle room, or at most two, suffices for
family of dozen. The little girls
go out on the streets unprotected at
night, selling gum, or making music.
In the crowded factories they are
subjected to all kinds of temptations.
For this reason the priests usually
maintain that an early marriage is the
best for the girls. 1t is notable fact
attributable to this, that Italian WON
en- and girls nearly always lead Writ
uous lives.
Setting up housekeeping is the very
simplest thing in the world. \ settle
ment worker who has made an espe-
cial study of the Italian neighborhood
maintains that they eXpend Sc on the
housekeeping outfit. This does not
include bed. The parents of the girI
if possible send to the old country foI
a bed as a wedding present.

ANNEXATION.
What London Paper Thinks of the
Situation.

The London Saturday Review has
come to the conclusion that the am
neNation of Hawaii is settled. 1t
says:
The Hawaiian incident may now be
taken as practically closed. The All
ueNation of the Sandwich Islands by
the United States is an accomplished
fact, and the only questions that re-
main are the form of annexation and
the concessions Japan can secure for
Japanse emigrants to the Islands. ia
pan is not likely to interfere further
than to secure the best terms she can
with regard to the second point. nad
she attempted to annex Hawaii the
onuS of declaring war would have lain
upon the United States. AS il is, il
lies with japan. and she has acted
wisely in accepting the accomplished
fact. In the alternative what could
she have done? Since the Chinese war
she has very foolishly been increasing
her army to the neglect of her navy,
though it is evident from the result
of the war that all conquest i'm China
is forbidded her by the European pow
ers. AS an insular nation her mani
fest policy is to develop and rely on
her navy. Her chance would have
been war between the United States
and Spain over the Cuban question
Then she could have sliced the Philip.
pines without interference.

propped up in bed to be married to "A

Which the same that puts me in mind
of another place where circumstantial
evidence got in some strong and tellin
work.
Cncst upon time John Andrew Milli-
gan and Miss Rosebud Bucl1alew took
fool notion that they would go up to
the state fair together, and then took the
cars and went. They spent the day
takin in the sights and had a most fc-
lonious nice time, to hear them tell it,
but on their return back home that
night they met with a sad and terrible
accident.
How did it happen? Well. all L know
about it is what John Andrew told me
and Miss Rosebud told mother, and they
didn't make us promise tokeep nograve-
yard secrets in the case.
Anyhow, from what they say, some
scoundrel beast throwed a rock into
the car where they were ridin side by
side. The same rock crashed through
the glass window, knocked the breath
outen Miss Rosebud and broke three
fingers on John Andrews left hand a.
one lick.
And that is all know about it.

Special River Bulletin.

Washington, March 2S.-The following
special river bulletin has been issued by the
weather bureau:
The flood wave is still at Cairo, which
shows a stationary gauge reading 61.6 feet
for the past four days.
There is great danger yet to come from
the flood in the region from Helena south
ward to New Orleans.
The river will continue to rise for at least
ten days In the region from Helena south
ward to Vicksburg and to rise during .
longer period from Vicksburg southward.
IF no break occurs before, IeVees will be
subjected to the greatest strain about
April 10, in southeast Arkansas and western
Mississippi and Louisiana. Should the 1e-
wees break, the result will be one of the
most disastrous floods ever known.
Weather conditions now indicate addi-
tionaI heavy rainfall In the middle and
lower Mississippi valleys, which will ma
terially intensity the flood conditions.
Those living in districts Overflowed in
former years should be on the safe side and
transfer stock and movable property to
places of known safety while there Is yet
time. WILLIS l.. MOORE,

A Sensation at Dayton.

Dayton is reveling in a genuine sensa-
tion. Prof. D. A. Dill, principal of the
Dayton high school, has been forced to
leave the city in order to avoid the dis
grace of prosecution for theft. When
his school closed about two months ago
he accepted position temporarily with
the Dayton Coal Sc Iron Company as
bookkeeper. Last week the envelope
containing the wages of ono of the COM
pany's employees, amounting to 500, was
missing. A warrant was taken out to
search Dill's rooms, and whom the officer,
with an official of the company, called
to serve the paper, Dill, on being as
sured that he would not be prosecute Jed,
confessed that he had taken the money,
Immediately turned it over to the COM
pany's representative, and left at once.
Dill came to Dayton from Athens, o.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS


One night last week, on Paradise
Ridge, near Nashville, where there is
quite a settlement of thrifty Germans.
the house of Jacob Ade was destroyed
by fire. In the ruins were found the
almost entirely consumed bodies Of
Jacob Ade, Mrs. Jacob Ade, Lizzie AIDE,
Henry Ade and Rosa Morier. 1t is sup
posed that the parties were murdered
for the purpose of robbery and the
house burned to cover up the crime. II
is believed from all the circumstances
obtainable that the fire occurred be-
tween and o'clock. That the i've
people were accidentally burned to
death is not believed by their neigh
bors, who say they were not in the
habit of retiring before 10 o'clock, and
that the bodies of four were found in
the debris from one room, which was
not the sleeping room for all of them.
But there are no clews yet, and nothing
to work upon except surmises, and they
not of the strongest. Jacob Ade was
about so years old, had lived at Para
disc Ridge for twenty-five years, was
thrifty and successful, and owned 400
acres of land. 1t is also said by his
neighbors that he owned stocks and
bonds to a respectable amount. He was
successful fnancier and tho money
lender of the community. The entire
neigh hborhood is terribly wrought up,
and should even suspicion point strongly
at any one his life would not be safe.

Prolonged Fasting Dangerous.

Although many physicians advocate
the advantages derived from long peri
DDS of fasting and some even go far
enough to say that no serious change
of tissue need result, the question
arises: Why the invariable loss in
weight? Food of some kind is neces-
sary to maintain the body and mind in
healthy condition and to restore the
inevitable waste. AS a result of con-
tinuous abstinence from food the blood
becomes impoverished and diminished
and cerebral nnaemia often follows.
The brain must be supplied with
healthy blood, Succi, who a few years
ago gaveian exhibition in New York of
his ability to exist without food, and
who reccommended so highly his
elixir" made, he said, from a plant
which he discovered in Africa (the use
of which retarded tissue changes), has
just died in madhouse in France.

CircumstantiaI Evidence.

Along in the spring of the year =
when the sun shines warm and pleasant,
whilst the dogwood trees are bloomin,
and you feel so loose and lazy-the gen.
eral surroundins slways put me In mind
of strong case of circumstantial evil
dence which leaked out oncst upon a
time in regards to VIII Tom Pickens and
Miss Mamie Lou Galloway.
They have since mated off for good
and settled down to business and are
now mixin clothes in one of the love-
liest and most happiest homes in the
settlement. But at that particlar time
tLey were right slap kerdab in the mid
die of loves young dream, as it were,
and between the two they had worked
up a tremendous bad case of it. They
had been courtin and carryin on to-
gether as reglar and frequent as pig
tracks for six months past, and the
country was then seriously threatened
with a weddin.
One Saturday in the first warm
days of spring we got up big picnic
over at Stringer's old mill, and about
dinner time who do you reckon driv up
in one of these clost built buggies-
who but Will Tom and Miss Mamie
Lou? Comm along the road in the
maintirae it would seem like they had
been caught in one of them pleasant
April showers and both of them got wet.
Now you will please recollect that
Miss Mamie Lou was dressed in white,
with blue ribbons in her hair and
blood red belt around her waist. I
reckon no doubts they had been too
busy layin their future plans to take
any particlar notice of what had come
to pass. But at any rates, when they
driv up in the crowd and jumped out
of the buggy, by gracious the coat sleeve
which VIII Tom wore on his left arm
was painted a gay and gorgeous red
from elbow to cuff and back again. At
the same time anybody could shet one
eye and look and see that the onlyest
red thing in the whole layout was the
lovely belt which Miss Mamie Lou wore.
The blame thing had got wet and run
in the wash.

Lets take a lectIe somethin for a
change of BREATH" says he, and with
that he went down in his pistol pocket
and come forth with bottle of white
ink"
Well, as anybody knows, didn't need
no sperits that day. But right then
l felt like l would ruther take nibble
with Black Jack Virgins, of Cyclone
Streak, than any livin mortal man on
the broad bosom of the whole discov-
cred earth. And / never could tell why,
but it did raley seem to me like that
was the best corn whisky l had ever
tasted since the day and hour when /
was born. At the same time Black
Jack was so friendly and social like and
pleasant till he soon made me forget
all about the little justification which
me and him had got into that Satur-
day evenin over at the Cross Roads.
We kept up the familious confabulation
till / had bit off three or four plugs of
that early runnin of the corn, and then
we shook hands acrost the bloody
chasm of the past. We parted friends,
and that friendship we have maintained
from that good day down to this blessed
hour.
So that's what makes me tell you
what 1 do in regards to the news we
heard the other day-which do hope
and trust it will not turn out as bad as
the reports.
And may the God of the brave and
the honest-hearted bless Black Jack
Virgins, of Cyclone Streak.

over nt the Cross ROADS.

Oncst upon time some twenty years
| ago, or maybe little the rise of that,
me and Black Jack got into a tremen-
dius bad fight over at the Cross Roads
one Saturday evenin. No, sir. So fur
as L know there want any female
curiosity in the case. But there was
American politics and mean whisky
and fre-eatin fools at both ends of the
line.
In them good old days we didn't have
SO internal much party machinery in
the elections. 1t was wide open, free
for-all scrub race, in which the best
man always come down under the wire
first.
That was On a Saturday, you un-
derstand, and the election was to
come off on the next followin
Monday. COnsequentially the boys
had rounded up at the Cross Roads for
the last final rally before the old cat
lit. white ink" and "sperits-of-cats-
G-fightin" flowed free and promiscous
till 1 reckon the old devil went and
picked him out a soft place in some
shady corner to lay down and laugh.
1t did look like the documents" were
comm his way with a rush, and that
was enough to tickle the old scoundrel
beast most to death.
Well, / will not try to tell you-I
couldn't If 1 would-right exactly
when and how the storm riz and
brought on that bloody rucus between
me and Black Jack Virgins. Maybe it
was his fault and maybe it was mine.

and clear ss if it was but only yester-
day that roy wife's husband did have
to take and tote n most tremendous
good beatin from a man by the name
of Black Jack Virgins, of Cyclone

in which 1 returned back to the home
base that night was a plum scandala-
ton on the Sanders family. And the

to the lookin glass, bless the heavens

and pinch myself to be dead certain
whether it was me or not. For three
or four days henceforwards after that

That Lonesome HomeIy Feeling.


But in the main time garden truck
was ruther scanty and rations had run
down powerful at our house. We had
jest naturally come up to the forks of
the Toad-somethin had to be done, or
somebody had to suffer. The wolf was
scratchin at the back door, and the
Poorhouse loomed up over the western
hills, as il were.
So in orderment to settle the meat
and bread question / hooked up the
wagon and team and pulled out over to
the railroad station after a little load of
provisions which had come for me.
And when 1 first driv up who do you
reckon was the first man saw standin
there-who but Black Jack Virgins, of
Cyclone Streak?
No, didn't turn around and go on
back home with my empty wagon,
but felt right smart like Mart Mayo
was in regards to the church, had a
powerful leanin that way.
In so far back as the records run
Mart Mayo never went TO meetin but
oncst in his life, and then he was so
scandlous drunk that he didn't know
where he was goin' till he got there.
He was standin outside by the steps
leanin up agin the church, when the
preacher come along.
"Do you belong to the church?' says
the good man.
Not as anybody knows Of" says
Mart, "but you will take notice that I
have a powerful leanin that way"
Naturally, of course, the railroad sta
tion was a monstrous lonesome loolin
place to me that day, and never did
know till then what great gobs of truth
had been set forth in that good old
song-"Home, Sweet Home" But our
bread and meat was there at the sta
ton, and a hungry man will take his
chances in many a clost place in order
nsnt to smooth out the wrinkles from
the brow band of his breeches. Any
how. faced the music with fear and
