LOVERS ELOPE.
John Pride and Mary Christian
Married in Evansville.
Thomas Hammock is Sorry That
he Took a Friend to See His
Girl.

The following romantic story in
which three Union county young
young people are the principal
characters, is taken from yesterday S
Evansville Courier:
John Pride and Miss Mary Chris
tian, of Sturgis, KY, were married
Wednesday at the Victorian Hotel.
The wedding was the joyful ending
of four days courtship and the
abrupt elimination of love match
of long standing.
In direct contrast to the happi-
ness of the bridal party is the grief
of a rejected lover. He took a
friend to see his sweetheart. Now
he is nursing a bleeding heart and
she has nothing but Joy in hers.
Thomas Hammack, the rejected
lover, is chief clerk in the depart
ment store of Louis Curry ~ Co, at
Sturgis. Some months ago Miss
Christian came from her home in
Indian territory to visit relatives iu
Sturgis. She was Il cousin to Mr..
Hammack, but they had never seen
one another before.
They fell in love, and it was not
long before the word went the
rounds in the quiet little town that
the monotony of every day life was
to be broken by a marriage. Ham
mack ard the Young lady visitor
were to be married.
Last week John Pride went to
Sturgis on a visit. He had re-
Gently fallen heir to 4 nice little
fortune from a rich uncle. He was
a friend of Hammack and they
spent much time together:
About four days ago Hammack
decided to take his friend to call
upon Miss Christian. They spent
the evening together, and Ham
mack thought he had done much
toward making himself better in
the sight of his sweetheart. He
went home in joyful humor, and
"eXt day went back to the store
where his business kept him closely.
Pride had more leisure and did
not lose time in pressing his suit.
With the girl it was love at first
sight
So Wednesday morning the
couple with one or two friends came
to Evansville. The news did not
get out until they had gone to the
depot, when Hamm ack had no way
to stop the match.
The wedding was performed by
Justice Poole. The couple re-
turned to Sturgis on the afternoon
train.-Telegram.

SETTLED AT LAST.

Some 20 years ago w. +. Leonard
obtained judgment against citizen
of Port Huron for 500, says the Port
Huron Times. Matters run along and
no attention was paid TO the judgment
by the debtor although many efforts
were made to collect the amount. The
citizen seemed to enjoy evading the
obligation, but was frequently warned
by Mr.. Leonard that there would
"come time some day." At,the end
of every six years since that time the
judgment has been renewed, as the
wary attorney felt certain that he
would yet get even with this man.
The opportunity came short time
ago, and greatly to the discontinue of
the citizen. 1t seems that the debtor
is contractor and was doing some
work in an adjoining town. Mr.. Leon
ard found this out and promptly levied
on about $500 which the contractor
had coming to him. The result has
been that the judgment, interest and
costs amounted to just $l55, and every
cent of it has been collected. Although
the contractor had the use of the $29
for over 20 years, yet he had to pay
over five times that amount in the end.

Literary Notes.

The range of human interest covered
by the August Cosmopolitan is curious
ly wide. The reader is swept along
and his journey made fascinating by
one hundred and forty-six pictures
from an article telling OF the trolley
road now building from Cairo to the
Pyramids, with some remarkable pict-
ures of those monuments of antiquity:
through a comprehensive and richly
illustrated review of New York Society
to the prize article on "Your True Re-
lation to Society,"; and thence to Ire
land to listen to II "child of the turf"
telling of the life of Erin's people and
the part peat plays in it. Back in
Omar's invasion of Egypt the reader
goes, and then to take Il peep at the
arts and methods of the late Augustin
DAILY and to see a magnificent portfolio
Of pictures of Daily productions, DAILY
actors and Daily himself. From DAILY
the reader goes to Cuba and thrills
with interest at the well.told advent
ures of young man who carried mail
and military documents to Gomez by
the "Underground" route. And to add
to all this there are four short stories,
all excellent, and the longest by that
prince of tale-makers, Frank X. Stock
ton.

Lovers of good reading matter will
agree that the August issue of Con-
keys Home Journal is one of the most
interesting productions of the year.
Especially noticeable is Colonel Prem
tiss Ingraham's sketch, entitled "On
the Plains with Buffalo Bill" embrac-
ing thrilling account of the great
scouts pioneer life. The article sim
ply bristles with thrilling anecdotes of
Indian battles and the hunting of big
game on the Western prairies. Onoto
Watanna, the famous Japanese au-
thoress, has contributed a story of
Oriental life. Another unique feature
will be found under the caption of
"The Congressional Library" by Mary
j. Stafford, embodying an account of
this most beautiful treasury for books
in the world, and illustrated with pho
tographs of the finest portions of its
wonderful architecture. The special
departments contain many novel ideas
appropriate to the season. Special at
tention should be called to Miss Os-
trander's article on captain Dreyfus."
The musical selections are unusually
fine, include song by Will II. Carter,
entitled "Alone"; "Love and Friend
ship Waltz" by j. Roderigo, and an
arrangement for the mandolin and
guitar of the "Conqueror March," by
f. X. Bvscovitz. But "the wonder of
it all is," how can the publisher afford
to give high-grade magazine, brim
full of high-class reading matter, COM
pairing favorably with h-priced pub
lications, for so cents year. The pub
fishers, w. b. Conkey Company, strive
to produce as good magazine as the
$l.00 monthly for just half the price,
and will mail sample copy on re-
quest to any reader of this paper. We
have made special arrangement, and
offer Conkey's Home Journal and the
Yale Expostor, both papers, for only
$1.25. The subscriptions should be
sent to this office.
