KENTUCKY GIRLS QUARREL
Daughter of Regiment Is Jealous of
Pretty Rival

Lexington, Ky, Sept. 17.-NIiss Matte
Marion, the daughter of the Fourth
Kentucky regiment, objected to Miss
Genevieve Farley, the maid of honor,
riding in the same coach with her when
the train left this afternoon. Both were
left in Lexington. The regiment was
leaving for Admission, Ala. Miss Marion
selected Miss Farley to accompany her,
but they fell out over a handsome lieu
tenant, who paid more attention to the
maid than to the genuine daughter.
Miss Farley was in Col Colson's car
when Miss Marion entered and saw her
there. She objected to Miss Farley re-
ceiving such consideration and said she
would not go. The colonel told her she
need not put herself to any trouble
about making the trip, and her uncle,
Capt. NJ. J. Treadway, threatened to
resign if she was elected.
Capt. Tyree, whose wife was chaper-
ontng Miss Farley, said Miss Farley
was his guest and she should go with
his family. After considerable quib-
bling it was decided to leave both at
home.

home in search of vegetables and lost
no time in purchasing a quantity of the
Hips product, owing to its general ex-

The contents Of the basket were
emptied on the kitchen table and Miss
Minnie Wilke discovered the photo
graph. Her brother Gus was in favor
of returning it to the owner with a few
remarks on the subject of insanity, but
the young woman revealed the romantic
trend of her thoughts by preserving the
brief letter to the young farmer and he
in turn replied with a letter fairly bub-

affection. The widowed mother OF Miss
Wilke regarded the entire matter as q

opportunity to say mean things about

profitable to keep them busy than stun
their tomato baskets full of photo

Miss Wilke arrived in the town or
