An Indian Bridal Pair.

Once 1 saw a pretty thing, a young
bride of the Kickapoos, on a sort Of a
wedding trip. She was tall and slight
and-so closely do the members of a
tribe resemble one another-she looked
like the twin sister of her young hus
band. At first they were accompanied
by stout old chief, but he left after
circus day. 1t is odd to see an Indian
chief patronize the peanut and lemon
ade stands, and sit unmoved at the per
Torrance, and yet stand enthralled be-
fore the cages of animals unknown on
his native prairies.
The bride and bridegroom spent
three or four days in the town, wander
ing about as unconsciously as Adam
and Eve in the garden. The man was
already masterful and protecting, the
girl shy and subservient- Day after
day they walked hand in hand, looking
at everything-people, shops, cattle
but never speaking to any one, never
even to each other, yet deeply content
in the consciousness of companionship
They were a living example of the hap
piness of simplicity, and while they
Staid in the huStling town, made many
a civilized man and woman think of
how far their own conduct as wives
and husbands fell short of the standard
of this unconscious Indian pair.-Ains-

PHILOSOPHY.

The signs is bad when folks commence
A findin foult with Providence
And balkin cause the earth don't shake
At every prancin step they take.
No man is great till he can see
How less than little he can be
Eff stripped to self and stark and bare
He hung his sign out anywhere.
Ny doctern is to lay aside
Contentious and be satisfied.
Jest do your best, and, praise er blame
That follows, that counts jest the same.
I've a1Ius noticed great success
Is mixed with troubles more or less,
And it's the man who does the best
That gets more kicks than all the rest.

TO KEEP LOVE IN THE HOME.
Man and wife Must Live Simply, Hon.
estIy and Frankly ON a
High Plane.

In the first months of married life,
love is SO sufficient, and loving so sin,-
ple,- that there seems no other need in
life. But by and by, when care begins
to shadow them. when duties presen!
themselves. and, strangely enough.
conflict with each other. when con.
victions clash and tastes differ. then
both husband and wife begin to realize
that back of love must stand what
have called STEADY and sturdy MOI al
quaiities"-justice, patience. honesty.
sincerity and magnanimity. Indeed, on
these depends the very continuance OF
love in marriage, for it is not possible to
go on loving unless that is found which
is worthy of love. / say this advisedJy.
T know the world is full of men and
women who think, either because they
like to think so, or sadly. because they
must, that one can love where one does
not respect. 1t seems to me that this
does not ennoble ones ideal of love.
One may pity. may have an infinite
yearning tenderness over what one can
not respect. but love is of royal birth
and recognizes only what is as royal as
itself. The way, then, to keep love Sc
cure in married life is not so much to
be anxiously watching and guarding
lest it should escape, or crying that love
has spread itsswings because the first
holiday romance is replaced by graver
feeling. but by living along simply and
honestly and frankly together. on a
high plane, looking most and always to-
ward whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest. whatso-
ever things are just, whatsoever things
are pure. whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report"
Then love will be not captive. but a
most willing guest.-Helen Watterson

CHEAP LEGAL ADVICE.
A Man Who Believed in Paying q
Lawyer for His
Opinion.

The other day an old fellow slouched into
Attorney Oscar kahn's office, on Legal row,
and introduced himself as Mr.. Smith, Jones,
Brown, or something, of neighboring coun-
ty. He said he wanted to consult lawyer,
and was accorded a seat and one of the at
torney,s sweetest smiles.
from home the sheriff or some deputy had
attached his wife's sewing machine and
bureau for taxes. He didn't propose to
tolerate such imposition, he declared, and
came to Paducah to consult a lawyer
about it.
what is the amount of taxes" inquired
the lawyer.
'Lemme sea dollar and % CENTS" was
the reply.
The lawyer could not conceal a smile, but
fastened to say: well, Mr.. Smith, if you
want my advice, it is to go back and settle
that small amount. 1t looks like the easiest
and best way out of it
The old fellow thought moment, and re-
piled that he believed he would Answering
he asked: How much do / owe your"
"Oh, nothing, SIR was the reply. Il
won't charge you anything for little advice
like that
But / allus pays fer whut l git, and want

time when you need advice on something
more important, and we'll square it then"

down half-dollar and left.-Paducah (Ky.)

A TERROR TO SOCIETY.
Upper Circles In Warrington Flee
When the Turkish Minister
Begins to Talk.

The new Turkish minister is ter
ror to Washington society. He is one
of those foreigners who come to Amer
lea full of curiosity concerning this
people. and with no hesitation about
exercising it. Usually the American
ladies of Washington are willing to
satisfy his curiosity, and can hold their
own against the questioning. But this
new Turk is altogether unspeakable
in a social sense. He attended an Off
cial function a few evenings since and
was introduced to q lady in full recep-
ton dress, little fuller than usual,
perhaps. The Turk exchanged the
ordinary commonplaces. for he talks
the language of the country to which
he is accredited. Gradually his atten-
ton became riveted upon the lady's cos
tune in such a manner that she was
embarrassed, and raised her fan in
front of her. At length the minister,
in his earnest way, pointing to the low
cut of the bodice, asked:
madame, does your husband permit
this without protest."
The lady colored furiously and re-
piled that her husband found no fault
with her taste. The minister shook
his head in deprecating way, and be-
gan to tell how different it was in his
country. The lady made her escape as
quickly as possible. Not many even
ings after the minister was at another
official reception. He was presented to
a well-known society woman, and be-
gan:
''Are you married?''
The lady answered in the affirmative
with a smile.
"May 1 ask how long you have been
married?''
The lady said that she had entered
the state of matrimony some ten years
ago.
"How many children have YOU" was
the next question.
The lady replied, with slight mani
festation of embarrassment, that she
had none.
The minister stopped to think for
a full half minute, and, with puzzled
look, resumed:
''In my country"
The lady fed, and what the minister
was going to say will never be known
But no member of Washington society
will now risk an introduction to the
terrible Turk if she can help herself

A MISSING WORD.
But the Worthy Preacher Hit Upon
One That Was Just aa

A North Carolina preacher, in one Of our
western counties, whose memory some
times fails him at the critical point, was
recently preaching a sermon before Sun
day school convention. His subject was
1.-The Resurrection The thought toward
which he was driving with all physical
earnestness was that the doctrine OF the
resurrection was the very essence Of the
Gospel. The word essence" he had care
fully calculated to use in a tremendous
epitome of his whole thought. Rising on
tiptoe he shouted. In nutshell, my
brethren. the doctrine Of the resurrection
is the very-is the very
Alas! his chosen word essence was
gone. He paused second and then strobe
forward, and shouted in thunder tones:
The doctrine of the resurrection is the
very-is the very" The recalcitrant was
again nowhere in sight. Pausing once more,
and mastering his physical weapons for a
final desperate endeavor he lowered his
voice, but with intense earnestness, as if
angry with poor absent Essence he
again let drive: Brethren, the thought
have tried to impress upon you is that the
doctrine Of the resurrection is the very
