In Honor of Miss Graves.

Tuesday evening Capt. and Mrs.
Nave, assisted by Miss Beach, pre-
sented their guest, Miss Mary Virginia
Graves, of Birmingham, Ala, to the
young society people, at very delight
full reception, held at their home.
The CHEEKY, bright rooms, with their
Christmas decorations of holly, thickly
studded with the pretty red berries,
formed welcome contrast to the cold,
bleak night without, while the soft,
sweet strains of music enhanced the
comfort and made delightful accom-
paniment to the brisk conversation.
Assisting in receiving and entertain
ing were Mrs. Hillard, Mrs. Nave's
mother, and Misses Lucy Curtis and
Katherine Humes.
Miss Curtis was her usual bright self,
in palest green chenille-dotted tulle
over satin of the same-glimmering hue,
while Miss Humes was all in white,
with dainty, silver spangles adjoining
the bodice. 1t was vastly becoming to
the stately blonde girl wearing it.
Miss Beach wore an exquisite little
gown Of rarest rose pink, with here

A Great Gann1@o

Mr.. Wayback delivered himself on
the subject of athletics. Mr. Wayback,
be it understood is fair, fat and over
forty, and not to say an athlete. Mr..
Wayback is moreover behind the times,
these times, and delights in nothing so
much as condemning whatsoever he is
debarred from taking part in. And
hence he was delivering himself.
81 had never before seen this game
you call foot ball. Umph! much better
call it back ball, or chest ball, or any
other ball than foot ball. Foot had very
little to do with it. 1t was mostly un-
der somebody's back, or stomach, or
Rugged up with a death grip to some
body's painting heart" He actually grew
melo-dramatic. Gas I said, I'd never
seen it before. In my day there was
something better to do than engage in
any such shindy. But Mrs. Wayback
would go. She believes in keeping up
with the times even If the times
mean broken heads or arms or legs, or
crushed fingers, or dislocated nose or
black eye. She's death on the times,

with the parents-to see the butchering
well done you see-and in little while
they all came out as bold as brass look
ing like scare-crows that ought to have
been up on somebody's fence. All ex-
cept Dick. Dick wasn't bold. He kim
der sneaked out like he was ashamed of
himself. And well he might be. He
looked for all the world like one of those
potatoes they stick matches into and
sell for Brownies at the Christmas Ba-
Ear. There was something of the pos
sum about Dick then, for he had plenty
of false stomach, if the under pinning
was slim and shaky. Mrs. Wayback
settled herself with a complacent shake
that knew meant pride in the absolute
certainty of the result, with her Her.

began. "What are they staring at?"

gagement later" She had with ven

mouth shut in the beginning. "They're

Dick had the ball, and his spindle shanks
were flying like mad. Then a great
shock-headed giant gave a fierce grab,
down went ball, Dick, giant, half-back
quarterback, center-rush though it
would seem the rush was not confined
to any one center) and the dust flew.

ing her parasol and rushing to the scene

porter. Mr.. Wayback smiled sardoni

Tim's Christmas

God be with you till we meet
again, sang the voices under the crisp
Christmas heavens. Then the clear
notes, triumphant in their very sadness,
trailed off into silence somewhere back
OF the tennessee hills. The earth law
all around wide free and pure under it's
lightly dropped mantle of snow. A
street car buzzed past out there by the
cemetery gate, striking a temporary
discord in the sunset stiffness. The sun
rested, great blazing splendor at
the edge of the horizon, and against
its glowing background the marble
shafts stood sillfouetted, into greater
purity. Just overhead the new moon
tossed her sickle out palely on the
cold December sky.
The open grave, the white mound
waiting, the weeping group standing
about its edge, and the echo of the
sweetly solemn God be with you till
emeet again." told the story. Against
the western glory, there stole the fig
ure of an old darkey, bent and totter-
ing, his white locks bare, his battered
hat held depreciatingly in his weak,
old hands. On his feet were tied mere
remnants of shoes; his trousers tapped,
torn in strips as he walked. A CAV. red
shirt, open at the neck for lack of fast
ening, caught the eye, while long,
shabby Prince Albert coat, much too
big, swung from the stopped shoulders.
The old face was black as ebony, and
scanned as with the heavy pressure of
the passing years. ''It is crazy Tim,"
was whispered about. He stepped
humbly to the edge of the open
grave, with its still occupant, and
stood an instant looking down. Then
he knelt, and placing the ragged hat
beside him, laid out some limp, green
leaves-the leaves of the Caladium Es-
culentum. With these he began to
wrap some clods which he picked from
under the snow. And now the watch
ers understood. earth to earth, ashes
to ashes, dust to DUST" slowly spoke
the man of God. And bending, the old
servant softly dropped three carefully
prepared bits on the waiting casket.
The sun is gone with it's warmth and
shine to some other shore. The marble
shafts look ghostly in the shadowy
light. The new moon floats far and
faint in grey, blue sea. The night
wind signs, moaning through the city
of the dead. A fower-covered mound
rises ghostlike. Tim creeps, shivering
through the dark. cole Miss ain use
to bein' by herself, he muttered. And
then he carefully began lifting aside the
fragrant wreathes and crosses and anch-
ors, and even the loose blooms, placed
tenderly by loving hands. "Dey musn'
be bruised up" he said. "Hit's Christ
mas, Lawd. Ole Miss always kept
Christmas" He opened bundle he had
brought, took from it a spray of holly
and stuck it in the frozen earth, just
at the head of the grave. cole Miss
loved de holly" he chuckled like a
pleased child. Then rising, he careful
ly spread the thread-bare blanket,
which had composed his bundle, over

I'm M@nhWnoiafnho

Again at Christmas did we weave
The holly round the Christmas hearth;
The silent snow possessed the earth,
And calmly fell our Christmas eve.
The Yule log sparkled keen with FROST
No wing of wind the region swept,
But over all things brooding slept
The quiet sense of something lost.
Died 6:45 a. M, Sunday, December
18th, at the home of Mr.. Samuel Nc
Kinney, Knoxville, Tenn, Miss Ella
Coffin, daughter of the late James A..
and Margaret Coffin, of Monroe county.
On Monday afternoon a simple, i'm
pressive funeral service, conducted by
Revs. j. L. Bachman and James Park
both lifelong friends, was held at the
residence of Mr.. Mckinney, and on
Tuesday morning, friends and loved
ones left on the early train for Atlanta,
Ca, where in the deep, low bed the
Great Mother keeps for all earth's tired
ones, all that remained to us of Ella
Coffin was gently and lovingly laid
"down to sleep" "How strange it
seems with so. much gone of life and
love to still live on"
"And think, when days are sweetest
And the world is wholly fair,
She may some time steal upon me
Through the dimness of the air,
With the cross upon her bosom,
And the amaranth in her hair
AS the perfumed silence about the
flower enwreathed stiffness, that held
the form and hushed the gladness of
her free spirit, was broken by the first
notes of the simple hymn "My Jesus as
Thou Wilt" listening,-I saw little
village church in green and white, it's
windows looking out on green meadows
and far blue hills. Twas communion
day. The pastor in his place. The
elders all, plain, simple earnest brown
handed men, in theirs. The feast with
snow-white napkins spread; the au-
dience assembled and on the hush there
fell note of prelude and then rich,
resonant, tender ind sweet as heaven
the voice of her who sang:
"'Tis midnight! and on olives brow
The star is dmmed that lately shone.
IT'S midnight in the garden now
The suffering Saviour weeps alone"
More than twenty years have passed
and through all these she has met life
bravely; doing there as every where
what she could, and this was much, for
truth and right and mercy and peace.
To-day this little village sfJs IN the
shadow of great sorrow because the
joy of her presence is removed from it.
And now with all who loved and honor
ed her-so bright, so brave, so true,
and steadfast always, so full of joy, so
free from melancholy, here on her
grave, this fair December day | ask to
place this simple wreath of holly.

and there bit of black velvet, while
filney black lace accenturated the fluf-
finess of the tiny ruffles about the skirt.
Next to her stood the guest of honor,
Miss Graves. The two presented no.
ticeable contrast, withal a pretty one.
So decidedly unlike in every way, save
the charming cordiality of manner, and
winning sweetness of voice, which sug-
gests the cousinship between these at
tractive girls.
But for her very fair skin, one might
call Miss Graves veritable type of the
Southern girl, with her stately, grace
full form, expressive dark eyes, and the
wealth of dark hair with it's russell
CLEANS browning her head.
She was most becomingly and appro-
priately gowned in a beautiful white
satin, partially yelled by an over-dress
of cob-web-like lace, in dainty bow-knot
design, while touch of brilliant color
was added by the big turquoise velvet
bows about the waist
In the dining-room, the colors white
and pink, were most charmingly car
ried out in the flowers, sweet carnations
and narcissus lending their fragrance
and beauty to the table, wherein were
candies, minis, ETC., in the same colors,
as in the ices and cakes also.
Capt. and Mrs. Nave are an ideal host
and hostess, and never have they dem
onstrated their ability and tact as en-
tertainers more delightfully."-, than on
this occasion.

Col. HubbeII Says They Planned q

From the New York Herald, March 70.
Col. Hub5ell. who returned with his
command. the F'orty-seventh Regiment,
from garrison duty in Porto Rico on the
transport Manitoba yesterday and was
given an enthusiastic reception in Brook
Ign, gave me come interesting informal
ton last night about the condition of at
fairs an our new West Indian possession.
There are many persons" he said, who
think we were welcomed in Porto Rico
and sent away amid shower OF bou-
quets. This was not the case. The Porto
Ricans do not like Americans. They
want and are planning for their free
dom.
eve had more or less trouble all the
time with these natives, but their hosti-
ity was more openly displayed when It
was learned that we were going TO leave.
All the while we were subjected to petty
annoyances. A number of attempts were
made to knife our santries. The natives
are treachfrous, and we had to use Sc
we're measures at times.
There was at no time an omen insur
rection but | discovered three weeks ago
evidence that so-called educational so.
ciety was strong and bitter In it's antago-
hism. IL held meetings which we dispers-
ed. We discovered and npped In the bud
a conspiracy which had for Its object an
entrance into our barracks and a whole
sale macheting Of the soldiers.
Unless there is q great change am
convinced that sooner or later there will
be serious trouble down there. | should
however qualify their feelings by saving
that they hate Americans, not for their
personality, but because they want 10 be
free. The feeling In the interior of the
island Is more intense than along the
coast The Spaniards are not responsible
for IT, because they are migrating. The
people there do not like their old enemies"
Col Hubbel says the native Porto IA
cans are more than poverty stricken. The
planters, he says. have large stocks ~
sugar and tobacco on hand, with no mar
kets.

Is at least 2S.OO0OOO pounds of sugar ana

ESCAPED FROM DEVILS ISLAND.
O'BrieD, the King of BuncO Men,
Said to Have Gotten Away.


From the Baltimore American.
New York, March 1O--From some mys-
terious source news has reached this city
that Tom O'Brien, king of Bunco Men"
and prince Of the Gold Brick Game"
has escaped from the penal colony of Cay
enne. He may be on his way to this city.
O'Brien was sentenced to life imprison-
ment by the French government for the
murder of Reed Waddell in a railway
station in Paris.
How the escape was accomplished Is not
known. but in the haunts of the Tender
loin, where once the man spent his easily
acquired money, they hint that woman
had some thing to do with il. She Is in
this city now. She stood by the man
when he was tried, supplied him with
money and counsel, and aided him In ev-
cry way. She won't talk now.
After his escape from a detective In
Utica where he had been arrested for
working the gold brick" swindle on
man. O'Brien first went to South Amer
lea and afterward 10 Paris There he was
Joined by Reed Waddell, or kid" Wad-
dell, who invented the gold brick'
scheme. The two men lived magniflcently
on their money, until OBrien caught his
partner at the railway station on his way
10 another country Waddell had tray-
cling bag full Of greenbacks. O'Brien,
