A Cherokee Romnnce.

The marriage OF Richard Malone and
Miss Mary Hildreth at Caldwell, Kan,
Is the elimination of a romantic ex-
perience.
When the Cherokee strip was open.
ed for settlement on September 18,
1893, Malone and Miss Hildreth, at the
report of the signal gun along the
southern Kansas border, on their we'll
trained horses, made the famous race
over the plains together for home in
the Indian lands.
The claims they desired lay FIVE miles
south of Caldwell. They were main
tanning a good lead in the mad rush,
when suddenly the girths of Miss Hill
dreth's saddle broke. Her escort saw
her dilemma, refined in his horse and
assisted her. She could go no further,
so they staked two claims side by side.
They then erected house on Miss
Hildreth's claim just across the line.
Malone a ected a barn, in which he
lived du%Ag his enforced residence on
his claim. Miss Hildreth occupied the
house. Last week they both proved
up t'@ir claims and yesterday they
were married.

MATAMORAS.

The Rev. Mr.. Curtis, pastor of Fpwor'b h
church, delivered two very fine serm ms AZ
the church on Sunday At the hu.f- pasi
ten service his text was from Mark l0;l5
" For even the son of man came not to b.
ministered unto but to minister and TO
give his life ransom for many He
stated that the object of religion was to
make life sweet and satisfactory. When
man has done the best he can under the
circumstances, he has done all that God
requires of him. Christ was a working
man i'm its largest and most divine sense.
He worked for others and was therefore
divine. The evening service was on mis-
sionary work His text was Romans, 10
tn. chapter, the whole of which constituted
the subject of his discourse
The subject was a congenial one to him,
as it has always been his desire to follow a
missionary career and TO carry the gospel
of Christ into foreign lands.
This year closes his work in Matamoras.
He has been faithful worker in the COM
munity and has labUred earnestly for the
vel ARE of his people, who deeply regret
the approaching severance Of their rela-
tions as pastor and people That his lot
may always be cast in pleasant places is
the wish of his many friends in Matamoras

very pleasing program TWAS missionary
Sunday and exercises appropriate to the

remarks made deep impression on his
young listeners. The collection from the
mission boxes amounted to $7.55. The
sum collected from church members for
missionary work was S36 so. After the
service Mr. Curtis said farewell to the
school children and friends who were
present.

The Maine Disaster

Twas night, the bosom of the deep was still
Bright flashed Havana's lights, the distant sky
Wore mild aspect, nothing stirred to fill
The soul with dread, such blessed serenity
Wooed PARKWAY idea of lurking i'll.
Upon the waters in vast majesty
Floated the warship Maine darkly and powerful
With frowning cannon DER her iron hull
The very thought of rest was bliss, her crew.
Had sought repose and perchance many dream d
OF absent kindred faces which they knew.
In other chimes that smiling on them beamed
With fervent love from whom they once with
draw ed
With dolorous pang; the pallid stars that CLEAN
Beyond the slumberers did their yigils keep
As though no terror brooded mid the deep.
Oh God! but what a dire reverberate sound
With Thunderstorm and clang of riven steel
What cavernous deluge and appalling bodnd
OF pillows blending deck and mast and keel,
Saw, hath an earthquake cleft the solid ground?
To cause vision making senses reel,
The groans of injured seamen and the death
OF hundreds in a transitory breath.
Was If mans deed or some incarnate fiend
mine exploded under the green wave?
Speed to the scene implOring arms extend
Above the surface of gruesome grave,
Rescue the heroes dying friend with friend
Ere fruitless be all energies to save:
Shall not the prayers of widows desolate
Arise continual to Heavens gate?
