SAID HIS OWN SERVICE.
"A South Carolina Magistrate who
Performed His own wedding Ger
emoRy without Outside Help.

John G. Thomson, ~ years of age,
of Summerville, S. c., is probably the
first and only man who has ofiiciated
ason recognizes that he has done some
thing remarkable and worthy of notice
and he tells of the performance.
Some people will recall Mr.. Thom-
ason's recital of his alleged desertion
by his wife, who carried several of his
children with her and was cruel enough
to leave word with him that he was
not the father of the children. Mr..
Thomson endeavored vainly to find
his truant wife, but, not being able to
do so, concluded to have nothing more
to do with her and at the last session
of the Legislature he petitioned for a
divorce, which was granted, of course.
Mr.. Thomson was not feazed in the
slightest. He said he wanted wife,
and he Immediately began to try to
get one. He found several girls whom
he thought he could love and finally
he centered all his affections upon one,
Miss Emily Alice Lamb, who resided
about seven miles from Summcrville.
She agreed to marry him and arrange
ments for the marriage were immedi-
ately begun.
Mr.. Thomson said that the magis-
trates and ministers had frequently
expressed their sympathy for him and
their willingness to officiate when he
got a girl who would be willing to
marry him, but when he finally pro-
duced her they all funked and would
not perform the ceremony. Mr.. Thorn
ason was again not to be outdone, so
he decided to officiate at his own mar
riage. He secured a number of wit
nesses for the appointed time, which
was on the afternoon of April 90. Miss
Lamb was present, and when the time
came he said he called her and told her
to stand on his left. He then read the
service and at the proper place took
her hand. He made his own responses,
and at the conclusion he told the gath
ering that he and Miss Lamb were now
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomson, and they were
accordingly congratulated.
Mr.. Thomson said that he has been
marrying people for 25 years and he
saw no reason why he should not mar
ry himself. He says that he has dis.
carded his former wife, who deserted
him last summer, and he lives happily
with his present wife, who, by the way,
is the third woman to whom he SAYS
he has been married.-Chicago Chron-

CHICKEN PIE

Clean and disjoint two goodsized
chickens. Put in a kettle, cover with
boiling water and simmer gently until
tender. Remove some of the larger bones
and set aside until cool. To two quarts
of flour add one scant teaspoonful of
salt, and stir in sufficient cream to make
soft dough. Roll out quite thin one
half of this and with it line the sides
and bottom of a deep earthen dish. Roll
out the remainder of the paste, put over
it in small bits one and one-half cupfuls
of butter, dredge lightly with Hour, fold
the paste in three and roll out twice.
Roll out a quarter of this in long strips
and put several rims around the paste
in dish, wettng each with little water
to make it adhere. Fill the dish
with the prepared chicken, season
ing well with salt and pepper.
Roll out the remainder of the paste and
fit it over the top, making an opening in
the center for the steam to escape. Brush
over the top with milk and bake for two
hours in a moderate oven.

NEW OCCUPATION FOR A DOG.
He Was Being Effectively Used In
the Singular Role of
ScarecrOw.

Bicyclists riding in the country not
many miles from New York have re-
Gently been startled by hearing the
barking of a dog in fields which they
were passing, says the New York Times.
They invariably put spurs to their ped
ais, as 1t were, and got out of his way
as quickly as possible. This had oc-
CURED to certain party of cyclists so
frequently that one of them, holder
than the rest, dismounted to investi
gate. He found in the center of a new
~ planted field small shade thatch, and
near by a stake, to which was attached
a rope, at the other end of which a col
lie dog was prancing and barking.
There was not a human being in sight,
and the dog could certainly not have
been confined there with the idea of
soaring away tramps, for his antics
showed that he was overjoyed to behold
the stranger.
AS the sun was very hot in the field,
the bicyclist concluded to rest awhile
under the thatch, still marvelng at the
situation of his canine acquaintance.
A few moments later lonesome "Caw,
cav, cav" was heard in the air. The
dog at once became attentive; he lay
close TO the ground, with his head
cooked to one side. A family of crows
presently alighted in the field, but be-
fore they could begin their meal the
dog was up and at them. The mystery
was then explained. The collie was used
as scarecrow, and a most effective one
he proved to be.

When EtheGi rls Wore Calico,

There was time, betwixt the days
OF linsey woolsey, straight and prim,
And thu Sc when mode, with despot ways.
Leads women captive at its within,
Yet not hundred years ago,
When girls wore simple calico.
Within the barn by Ian tern light,
Through many reel, with flying feet,
The boys and maidens danced at night
To fiddled measures, shriliy sweet;
And merry revels were they, though
The girls were gowned in calico.
Across the flooring rough and gray
The gold of scattered chaff was spread,
Ana long festoons OF clover hay
That struggled from the loft o'erhead,
Swung scented fringes to and fro
Ger pretty girls in calico.
They used to go a Maying then,
The blossoms of the spring to seek,
In sunny glades and sheltered glen,
Unweighed by fashions latest freak;
And ROBIN fell in love, know,
With Phyllis in her calico.
A tuck, friil bias fold,
A hat curved over gypsy wise,
And beads of coral aud of gold,
And rosy cheeks and merry eyes
Made lasses in that long ago
Look charming I'm their calico.
The modern knight who loves a maid
OF gracious air and gentle grace
And finds her oftentimes arrayed
In shining silk and priceless lace,
Would love her just as well, know,
In pink and lilac calico.
