MARRIED IN HASTE.
One Couple United In Very Quick Time
In Plttsburg.


In PIttsburg.
wedding ceremony was conducted
recently in the office of Alderman Will
liam Watson. East street north side,
at lightning express rate. The high
contracting parties were Harvey Bar
ber, a negro. and Hattie Allen OF the
same race. The event was wholly un-
expected even by the bride, but was
the result Of an impulse which struck
the groom as he was in the act OF
delivering load OF coal in the neigh
borhood. Barber, who Ia a teamster,
and his girl had pledged their troth
and gone through all the forms which
1t Is customary to attach to a mar
rlage engagement. Some days ago the
marriage license was procured, but
the groom wanted to see his way lit
tie clearer at the financial end before
having the knot tied Yesterday morn
Ing he began the delivery OF coal ear
ly. 1t was good day for business and
hc caught onto few dimes extra. The
sum total OF his catch was $1.35. Har-
vey's last job for the day was the de-
livery Of load OF coal in the vicinity
of Squire Watson's office. He was
driving leisurely along East street
when he spied his fiancee gayly trip
ping along the sidewalk She had
lust stepped out to buy some supper
things" for the lady who employed
her. This is what she told Harvey
when he hailed her with Good ev-
oning, girl; right glad to see YOU"
Harvey had dollar to spare, and his
maxim through life had been never to
let a good chance go by. He asked
Hattie how much time she had to
spare and was told: Just fifteen min
utes. Just about the same way
here" said Harvey. He then asked
her to go to Squire Watson's Office and
nave the wedding take place at once.
Miss Allen didn't object. Harvey sang
out, Gee, whoa, hoa," and the team
was up against hitching post. The
horses were tied and then the couple
falrly rushed into the squires Office to
get themselves hitched. Come to get
married, squire" announced the
groom. Here's the license. Please
hurry up I haven't any time to
spare. This girl has to get back to
COOK supper, and | have coal to leave
right away" The prospective groom,
with coal-begrlmed fingers, flshed out
ten dimes from his fob pocket, and
lald the money on the counter.
Here is the fee. squire. l didn't ex-
pect this little matter was going to
happen or l would have had the coin
all In one piece" he said. Constable
John Homan was impressed as a wit
ness. and the twain were made one.
See you down at the house tomor-
row." was the groom's parting salute,
and he went to deliver the coal, and
she hurried away to get the Supper
things. .'-Pittsburg Post.

WHY HE SUCCEEDS.
Difference That Sometimes Danios
Deteotives,

A Difference That Sometimes Dafie,
Dsteotives.
1T is often difficult to see any diff
ference between the men who succeed
ana those who fail" says a critic. A
man may try to console himself with
the unction that lies in the belief that
1t Is all luck; that one man was born
to be successful and another to fail.
The average man cannot even deceive
himself to that extent. He knows
generally, where the trouble Is. OBJ
serve two men who apparently begin
with equal advantages, with equal
capital. Unless close esttention was
paid to their respective careers, you
might not perceive the difference in
them. One puts little more rush into
his work; he is never satisfied with
accomplishing only so much as is ex-
pected OF him. Ho is little more ac-
commodating to his patrons or those OF
his employer; he manifests more de-
votion to details; he Is more prompt,
is not afraid OF getting to the Office too
early or OF staying there too late. He
makes a study OF ways to improve his
mind and enlarge his capacity for serv-
ice, whether to his own direct better
ment or indirectly. through having
benefited his employers. Right here it
might be well to consider the problem
one moment from the employers point
OF view. He is utterly lost to graft
tude for good service; utterly selfish" ;"
you say. Granted-but it is fortunate
for you that he is selfish. That gives
you point OF attack. When you be-
come so necessary to him that he will
be suffering a loss by the discontin-
uance Of your service you are in a po-
sition to demand a better position or
bigger salary--and his selfshness will
not permit him to allow you TO 60.
Observe different instance: young
lawyer who has just been admitted to
the bar will go into town where sew
eral before him have failed, and by en-
ergy and manly. business-like meth
ods soon succeed in establishing lu
crative practice. Instead OF sitting
around the Office, like some of his pred
ecessors, with his feet upon table,
telling stories and chewing tobacco
while waiting for clients, he spends
his Gpare time in studying his law
books and adding to his general infor-
nation. He goes into society. gets ac-
quainted with the people, is always on
the lookout to improve any opportuni-
ty that comes in his way, and finally
makes his way to the top OF the ladder.

SANDOW ON EXERCISE.
Says Dumbben Practice, II Not Overdo one,
Is the Proper Thing.

Says Dumbben Practice, IL Not Ovordo one
Is the Proper Thing.
''Dumbbell prastice gives strength to
every sinew, from the finger tips to the
elbow, from the top of the head to the
sole of the foot" Sandow. the strong
man, said in recent interview. "The
young can be kept in perfect health,
and older people are helped and i'm
proved even when suffering any all
ment which appears to them to be
quite hopeless, but, Of course, great
care must be taken not to overdo the
practising, and 1t is wiser to increase
the number OF movements very grad
ually and not on any account to get
overtired at first" he advised. But he
does state most emphatically that
dumbbell exercises, taken in modera-
tion, give grace and suppleness TO the
figure and that perfect ease to the car
riage that comes from having the mus
cles under control. He makes a strong
point of an easy beginning, which does
not expect too much at FIRST but gains
strength by degrees. Such exercise
sends the blood through the veins with
new life, which gives pleasure and Joy
to every individual

get glass of new milk. When she had
Partaken of this wholesome refresh
nent she opened her purse to pay the
co5t. But the peasant woman raised
her hand in gentle remonstrance and
said: There is nothing to pay for tho
milk, but will madame kindly sing to
us one of her sweet songs?" Patti
entered the humble home, lifted her
magnificent voice, and sang, in her
most superb style, Home, Sweet
Home" The astonished and delight
ed cottagers listened in raptures, and
rendered the distinguished visitor their
warmest thanks. Then from an inner
apartment, came a feeble voice, plead
ing, please sing that again; it was
heavenly" THAT is my daughter, who
is dying OF consumption, explained
the cottager, adding: "She is SO fond
of singing" Patti visited the sick girl,
sang the song again to her, and gave
her a sympathetic word also. Then
she'left. The milk had been paid for
by melody for which many an eager
agent would have forfeited a thousand
pounds.
