bridal trip to the continent if Williams can
spare the time, and"
The broker cut his own sentence in two,
for there were strange noises on the snow
spotted porch.
John Hudson, half way across the room
to welcome his guest, stood still like per-
son suddenly rooted to the floor.
"Shall | knock, lieutenant?" said a voice
just beyond the door.

And it's better charge than the one

Some one laughed.
John Hudson looked at his child, over
whose face had come singular look and
caught her eye.
ut doesn' seem to be Williams, after all I"
he said, testify. 81 can't have soldiers here
tonight, child, and, besides, you must not
be irritated by their stories of the war"
But Norah Hudson did not hear the last
words. Her hand was at the knob she tore
the door open and uttered a sharp cry.
Hang it al, it is not Williams" growled
John Hudson. 'It's another report from
Cuba"
1T is Arnold" was the response, and
then the broker saw his daughter in some
ones arms.
| He walked over to the table and snatched
up the telegram. His face grew dark and
the next moment he had hurled the tele-
gram into the fire.
Il am long time keeping my promise"
re heard a voice say. 81 have been delirlous;

is Christmas"
"The deuce it isl" cried John Hudson.
"Norah said you would come back Christ
mas. You are her guest. Mine hasn't come"
He stalked from the room, the shadows
OF the reunited falling softly on the carpet
and the old clock striking the half hour.
AS he walked out in the wintry wind to
ccol his blood boy sprang upon the porch
and thrust telegram into his hand.
Hudson went back to the light and tore
il open.
John Hudson: Train delayed. Can't
come tonight You may hear Of Brent be-
fore long. WILLIAMS"
The broker crumpled the telegram in his
hand and looked at the couple in the fire.
tight.
You've lost, Williams" said he. "This
Christmas night belongs to the girl who has
waited. Her guest shall be John Hudson's,
too"
And he smiled as he left the lovers alone.

Wherever meath their azure he may be
We were lads the time l speak of
And now we hear the creak OF
The frost that chills the branches of life's
tree
We wandered In the mountains,
And We played beneath the fountains
That tumbled down the overhanging steep.
And we swan amid the driftings
OF the autumns somber siftings,
From the trees of woodland pastures, neck
deep.
Then the winter came, and fiurries
OF the snow in flights and scurries
Laid the ermine covers deep upon the earth;
And the woods and halls were ringing
With our happy shouts and singing,
The echoes Of the seasons Joy and mirth.
But those years succeeding morrows
Brought care, and age, and sorrows,
And the struggles life allots to earnest
They are mountains that divide us ~
And the fountains oft deride US
When we seek to bring dear boyhood back
again.
But the years have come unceasing,
Bringing joy, and care, increasing,
And there's compensation, sweet, within
1t all,
For love from loved ones found us
And that fond delight surrounds US,
AS vine-clad, safe and fower-covered
wall.
So here's to you, my brother;
Though far from one another,
Let US drain the cup of good will from the
brim
And thank dear God above US
That around are those who love US
While we sing, again, a cheering Christmas
hymn.

New License Law.

An amendment to the state law re.
garding the securing Of marriage licen-
ses will go into effect Jan. 1, which, 1t
is believed, will have tendency to pre-
vent hasty and ill-timed marriages and
will furnish probate courts with a more
complete record concerning the parties
who secure licenses,
Under the present law all that Is re-
quired Of an applicant for a license Is
that affidavit be made that the persons
for whom the license Is desired are Of
legal age, are not nearer Of the kin than
second cousins, and that neither has q
husband or wife living.
Under the provision Of the amended
law, in addition to the foregoing infOr-
nation 1t will be necessary to give the
age Of each Of the persons for whom the
license is required, their residence, place
Of birth, occupation, fathers name,
mothers maiden name and number Of
times previously married. This infor-
nation will be kept on record in the
probate court.
One Of the main purposes Of the law is
to prevent marriages on short acquaint-
ance, as 1t will require couple to know
considerable about each others parents
before marriage license can be secured.

Wednesday evening, November 18, at s
O'clock, the occasion being the marriage
Of their second daughter, Bertha Marie.

A. G. Wall officiating. The bride was
very tastefully and becOmingly attired In
handsome gown Of white brOcade silk,
and carried beautiful bouquet Of white
roses, while the bridesmaid, Miss Kath-
arine Gott, wore charming gown Of
white Organdie. The groom and Mr..
Earl Griggs, brother Of the bride, who
acted as grOOmsElan, wore the cOnven-
tiOnal black.
The bridal party took their places to
the strains Of MendelssOhn's wedding
march, which was played by Miss Bessie
Eidt.
The ceremony used was the impressive
ring ceremony and was performed be-
meath an arch Of smilax and white
chrysanthemums, after which congratu-
latiOns we're showered upon the newly
welded young couple, by relatives and
friends. Shortly after the ceremony the
guests were led to the dining room,
where delightful repast was served.
Misses Bessie Eidt and Cola Stemple
furnished music for the occasion.
Many elegant and beautiful presents
were received by the happy couple.
The bride and groom left on the even
ing train for Cleveland, where they will
be at home to their friends, st II Haven
street, after December Is. A shower Of
rice from their many friends, as the
newly-wedded couple boarded the train,
attested to the good will and esteem in
which the young people were held, and
none but good wishes will follow them
to their new home.

The Pennsylvania Combine Wins.

The Carnegie and Bethlehem companies are apparently having their own way in the matter of armor plate. The senate naval affairs committee agrees with Secretary Long and the administration generally that the government should pay s40O ton for the armor needed for the battleships Alabama, Wisconsin and Illinois. The hold-up readily wins in these days of Han naism. The Pennsylvania combination foresaw what they could do if the demo- crats were driven out of power. It should not be forgotten that it was democratic, secvretary of the navy who proposed that the government defeat the hold-up by build- ing an armor plant. No republican ever made such proposition.~ It is a propos- tion out of line with republican campaign fund principles.
 The situation is well set forth by the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Citizen: "A large plant could have been erected for $1,5OO,OOO, as Secretary Herbert made plain; and small one to cost not more than s5OO,O00, would have answered the purpose of breaking the combination, or reducing thep rice, just as well. But, the politicians who reckon the contributions in money and the infiu- ence with employees and others by the cor porations as of value to the republican party will make no move that will loosen the hold of these tariff protected extortion- ists on the public purse. Their false excuse for not opening a government factory is that 1t would cost about $4,O00,O0O and the governments financial conditoins will not warrant it at present. But the real req son is given above.

Birminuham inc Place.

Birmingham has the only thoroughly auditorium has a seating capacity of about 5000 capacity to seat with com fort all who may attend. It has ample rooms to meet the demands for commit warm when the convention is held and for that reason a spacious hall will be In demand-a meeting place where delegates and visitors can all be accorded perfect comfort.
 There will be upward of 400 delegates in the convention and for every delegate there will be at least ten visitors who will wish to attend the deliberations, as they have a perfect right to do.
 Five thousand persons will be a low es- innate of those making up the gathering of the democrats throughout the state. Therefore the need of hall where that many democrats can be accommodated is imperative.
 The hall of the house of representatives where past conventions have been held in Montgomery will not at best seat with comfort more than 200 persons, or one-half the total number of delegates.
 Birmingham is in every respect better prepared to care for the thousands coming to the convention than is Montgomery. In addition to the advantages above. named, this city is justly entitled to the honor of entertaining the convention. In other states conventions are held in the different cities and mot always at the capital. There is no reason why this should not be done this year in this state. Because conven- tions have always been held at the capital is no reason why that custom should not be changed. The executive committee will please a large majority of the delegates should Birmingham be selected as the con- vention city. No harm can result from change.
