IT WAS a PICNIC.
1lsse .e sse.se eseZ'se2

First came a farmers wagon with
one man driving and two others lying
on the straw at full length. Then there
was a man on foot with his right arm
in a sling, a second pedestrian limping
badly, and another wagon with three
men on the straw. These had passed
when bare-headed woman hove in
sight. She was walking rapidly and
looking neither to the right nor to the
left, and was followed at little dis
tance by man with double arreled
shotgun over his shoulder. He had one
hand tied up in handkerchief, and the
blood stains showed that he had been
hurt. The colonel descended the steps
of the hotel veranda and held up his
hand to the man and said:
my friend, there seems to have been
trouble somewhere down the road"
eyes, a. little scrimmagc over at Cor
don's Grove" answered the man.
"You seem to have been hurt?''
Eyes, got shot in the hand, though it
didn't amount to much. Here you,
Mariar!"
''Mariar" was the woman ahead of
him, evidently his wife, but she con-
tinued her pace without looking back.
''What was it at Gordon's Grove 2"
asked the colonel.
ooh, jest a Sunday school picnic. We
have one there every year, you know"
''And there was a scrimmage, as you
call it?''
"There was. Had to be one, sab.
Never had no Sunday school picnic yet
without scrimmage. Yes, sab, had
right smart scrimmage."
''And there was shooting?"
Sur suah. Can't have no scrimmage
without shootin'. Yes, sab, there was
shootin' heaps of it,"
''Lord! Lord! You had Sunday
school picnic and shot at each other!"
gasped the colonel. "Some one must
have been killed"
"Of co'se.'
"And have seen four or five wound
ed men pass here"
"Reckon you have, sab. Joe Bailey
and Jim White and Henry Davis and
Tom Pool all left befo' did"
''And how many were killed?"
Didn't count 'em, sah When I got
bullet in my hand Marian reckoned
it as time to go home, and so we start
ed.'-
But I can't understand it, MANI
can't understand it," continued the
colonel, as he threw up his hands. "You
assemble for Sunday school picnic.
You begin to shoot. You-you-"
Its jest as easy us rubin coon's
fat on a sore heel" interrupted the
man, as smile lighted his face. ''We
assemble for Sunday school picnic.
Old man Aaron Sykes was there; young
Pete Hendricks was there. They glared
at each other and called names. Then
they began shootin'. Then Aaron's
friends mixed in, and Pete's friends
mixed in, and everybody had a high old
tie. Some got killed, some got hurt,
and some got away, and there you are.
Can't be no trouble to understand
that
''But it was a Sunday school picnic!"
shouted the colonel.
"Of co'se. Don't reckon can do all
our shootin' at church and camp-meet-
ms, do you? Yes, it was a Sunday
school picnic, and some got killed, some
got hurt, and some got away; and now
1 reckon I'd better be movin' along
arter Marian, and get this hole in my
paw plugged up"

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
Miss Kinsey and the Story of Her
Recent Marriage.

This is the beautiful San Fran
cisco girl who was recently married,
after much maternal and paternal
opposition on both sides, to Lise l..
Barillas, the 19-year-old son of ex-
President Barillas of Guatemala.
Her maiden name was Miss Kate
Kinsey. She is only IL and the
daughter of prominent San Fran
ciscan.
The story of the attempt of these
young people to outwit their guard
ians is we'll remembered on the Pa
cific coast. In May, 1897, the cap
tain of the tug Vigilant had tcom-
mission to take four young people
out beyond the Heads. After the
little boat had passed beyond the
three mile limit the skipper was
summoned and, after some demurr-
ing, agreed toperform the marriage
ceremony outside of the cogrizance
of the law ofthe land.
Later the supreme court of CAL
ifornia held that such a marriage
was invalid, but Mr.. and Mrs. Kin
sey long before that had promptly
settled the matter for themselves.
The daughter was guarded at
home, and young Barillas left for
Guatemala, whence he had been
summoned few days before he had
coaxed his pretty sweetheart to
marry him despite all opposition.
The young people in parting ex-
changed pledges of undying affec-
ton.
Barillas promised to return in a
a year, but that could not be, and
so, on invitation from Mrs. Barillas,
Mrs. Kinsey and her two daughters
paid a visit to Guatemala early this
summer. The stately Spanish
mother, when she saw Miss Kinsey,
who is strangely like the woman of
the southland, agreed that her son S
devotion was justified. The recent
marriage was happy finale.

AN OPEN LETTER.
ii. r. Coleman Hears From One
of HIS Circular Letters.
Howell, Ky, Sept. IA

HoWeil, N.Y., sept. IA.
Rev. H. r. Coleman:
Dear Sir:-You have seen fit tc
address me one of your hypocritical
circulars, asking me for hall
dollar to help "Stamp out Goebel.
ism" want to inform you sir
that / live in community noted for
the high and honorable character
OF its people laity as well as clergy
and neither | nor any of them find
any cause why you should in the
interests of either morality or poll
tics wish to Stamp out Goebelism. y
ut is true the majority of the voters
In my precinct are negroes and l
doubt not as they are like yourself
such stickers for purity (?) in poll
tics they will be likely to help you
STAMP out Goebelism, especially
1t when writing to them instead of
asking for a y dollar you enclose
one to them as per your own in
truction. | will not presume as
some have done to read you a lee
ture upon your duty as christian
minister, for whenever a man goes
into partnership as it seems you
have done with such men as are
now on the stump in Kentucky at
tempting by system of mendacity
which is unparalleled in its
ghoulishness and which would be
sublime if it were not ridiculous.
/ am satisfied that either he is an
emissary of the enemies of democ-
eracy or else the self appointed
agent of the ID himself, in either
of which case he neither knows
nor cares for "his christian duty. +"
Oh! how ignorant you must think
the voters are, if you believe you,
can induce them to believe you are
really in earnest about stamping
out anything that is wrong in NOR
ais or vile in politics when four
confederates and allies are such az
they are. Go on with your dirty
work. 1t is helping the cause of
Goebelism which should be and is
dear to the heart of every true Ken
lucky Democrat.
Yours ect. Il will not say respect
fully for l respect no man VINO re-
sorts to your methods.)

The Theatre from the Inside

That there are five thousand
theatres in America, and that one
million and a half people attend
them each weekday night, spend
ing seventy millions of dollars
year on the theatre-going, are the
surprising facts with which Mr..
Franklin Fyles, the dramatic editor
of the New York Sun, will open an
i'm portant series in the next issue
of The Ladies' Home Journal. The
sertis will be called "The Theatre
and its People, =" and will run
through seven numbers of the maya
zine, lavishly illustrated with pic
lures made by twelve different
artists. The articles will treat OF
every phase of the theatre, the play
and the actor, from the inside, and
will tell how a theatre is managed;
the actual money which plays have
made; how an actor is trained and
what the actors are actually paid;
how a play is written and what the
authors receive; how a play is re-

hearsed; the first night Of a plays
how the actresses make up and
what they uses and in minute way
the two last articles will show what
goes on behind the scenes on the
stage during performance. 1t is
curious fact that this will be the
first time that the theatre and the
actor have ever been exhaustively
treated in magazine, and that
there is no book on the subject in
existence.
