Married.

Last Friday Chris Olsen drove to
Atlantic and was quietly married to
the girl he has chosen as mistress of
his home. The young lady came here
but recently from the old country
where he had met her while there
last winter, and she has all the APP
pearance of a good wife, an excellent
housekeepeer and a perfect manager.
Mr.. Olsen is a man who bears the
confidence and respect of all his
neighbors. He knows the joys and
cares Of home life and will be able to
perform those little duties and sacri-
fees that make home beautiful and
lasting.
On Sunday a crowd was invited
to his pleasant home to share the
pleasures OF the dav with them and
to meet his happy bride. AT night a
different crowd gathered to make life
hldeous until the treat stopped them.

The Professors wooins.

The experience known as popping
the question" is the bugbear of every
man, however confident Of his charms
OF fluent of speech. Many original
ways of asking young women to marry
them have been resorted to by bashful
men, but perhaps the most brilliant
suggestion came to a learned German
professor, who, having remained a
bachelor till middle life, at last tumbled
head yer ears In love with a little
faxen haired maiden many years his
Junior.
One day, after vainly endeavoring to
screw his courage to the sticking point,
the learned man came upon his Gretch-
en- as she sat alone, darning a stocking,
with a huge pile Of the family hosiery
on the table. The professor aimlessly
talked on general topics, wondering
how he could lead up to the subject
nearest his heart, when all at once q
happy thought came to him.
Leaning forward, he put his big hand
on the little fist doubled up inside the
stocking and said hesitatingly:
"You darn very beautifully. fraulein.
Would you like to darn my stockings
only"
Fortunately the fraulein was not so
simple as she appeared. She grasped
the significance of the question imme-
diately and lost no time in answering.

Why Buchanan Never Married.


"Mr. Buchanan. who was the first
65 years Of age when elected and had
deliberately given himself to a life Of
c%elibacy," writes William Perrine in
The Ladies' Home Journal.
"In the days when he was a young
lawyer of Lancaster, Pa, he had loved
Miss Coleman, a beautiful daughter of
a citizen of that town. They had been
engaged to be married, when n day
he was surprised to receive from her a
request to release her from the prom
Use. According to Mr.. George Tick
nor Curtis, the separation originated in
a misunderstanding on the part of the
lady, who was unusually sensitive,
over some small matter exaggerated by
giddy and indiscreet tongues. Soon
after the estrangement she was sent
to Philadelphia and there died sud-
denly.
Throughout the rest Of his life, or for
nearly half a century, Mr.. Buchanan
is not known to have revealed to any
body the circumstances of this ro-
mantle tragedy. He would only say
that it had changed his hopes and
plans and had led him more deeply
than eve into politics as a distraction
from his grief. In his old age, long
after he had retired permanently to
private life, he called attention to a
package containing, he said, the pa
pers and relics which would explain
the auses of his youthful sorrow and
which he preserved evidently with the
idea of revealing them before his
death. But when he died and his will
was read it was found that he had di-
rected that the package should be
burned without being opened, and his
injunction was obeyed."

An Early Georgia Monster.

In the fore part of August, 1912. q
party OF hunters found in a mountain
III region now known as Rabun coun-
ty, Co.. a being nearly eight feet high
covered with blush hair and having a
human face adorned with immense
ears resembling those Of an ass. The
creature was stone deaf and on that
account seemed wholly unconscious Of
the approach Of the men. This mon
ster seems. from old accounts, to have
been seen upon several occasions dur
ing the next four years.
In 1916 a number Of Adventures
from Virginia. most Of them surveyors
working up the unexplored portions of
Georgia and the Carolinas, formed
themselves into a party for the express
purpose of capturing the uncanny be-
ing If possible. They secured the hills
and valleys for several days and at last
returned unsuccessful to the starting
point
The many tales told Of this e%xtraordi-
nary being seem to have created quite
a stir all along the Atlantic coast. A
printed circular issued by a land COM
pany In 1915 says, THE climate Of
Georgia is exceedingly mild, the soil
productive, and the danger Of attack
from uncouth beasts which are repre-
sented as being half beast and half
man are fairy tales not worthy Of con-
sideration."

why Girl. Cannot Throw.

A great deal Of fun is poked at girls
because they cannot throw a stone or a
SNOWFALL and hit the person or thing
they are aiming at. The general idea
as to why girls canno throw as well as
boys is that they have not acquired the
knack by practice as their brothers
have. Another explanation is given by
a medical man which tends to show
that girls could never learn the knack.
however much they tried.
When a boy throws a stone, he
crooks his elbow and reaches back
with his forearm. and in the act Of
throwing he works every Joint from
shoulder to wrist. The girl throws
with her whole arm rigid, whereas the
boys arm is relaxed.
The reason Of this difference Is one
of anatomy. The feminine collar bone
is longer and Is set lower than in the
case OF a male. The long, crooked.
awkward bone interferes with the free
use Of the arm. This Is the reason that
girls cannot throw we'll.

Sort of a cnnnibn1.

An old farmer for many years got his
dinner IN market days at a small hotel
kept by a widow.
She had long suspected that he ate
more than the price Us. CD warranted,
so she determined to test him. She ac-
cordingly arranged matters so that
there was no room for him at table, but
she took him into a private room the
table of which was graced by a steam
ing leg Of mutton. He set to in good
earnest. and soon nothing was left but
the bones.
Highly delighted with his cheap feed.
on passing the bar he rendered 2 shiL
lings for his dinner and a quart of ale.
The widow declined to take any pay
ment on the ground of having incon-
venienced him SO much.
Chuckling to himself. the farmer lift
ed down his market basket from a
hook, and, finding It rather light. he
tore Off the covering and shouted:

Fi.h and the AInhabet.

Perhaps the funniest thing to be told
respecting the antiquity Of fishing re-
lates to the holy wars which were
waged in ancient Egypt over the finny
denizens Of the water. the conflicts
arising from the circumstance that, as
often happened. one tribe would insist
with the utmost ~irreverence upon eat
ing up the fishes which the inhabitants
of an adjoining territory held in divine
alteration.
The child Of today. in learning his al
phabet, calls the letters by their names
simply because the ancient Ph9nicians
were pleased to make similar figures
the symbols OF certain sounds, and 1t is
thought very likely that the Ph9ni-
clans have been driven to invent that
alphabet by the necessity Of CORE
spending with peoples Of various
tongues incidentally to the great COM
merce which grew out Of the fishery.

Prompt Justice,

In the History of Beverly" Mass,
the following anecdote is related of a
good justice of the peace in the old colo
NAL times. On a cold night in winter
a traveller called at his house for lodg-
ing. The ready hospitality Of the JUS
tice was about being displayed, when
the traveller %unluckily uttered a word
which his host considered profane.
Upon this he informed his guest that
he was a magistrate, pointed out the
nature Of the offense and explained the
necessity of it's being expiated by sit
ting an hour in the stocks.
Remonstrance was unavailing, for
custom at that time allowed the magis-
trate to convict and punish at once, and
in this cast he acted as accuser, wit
ness, jury, judge and sheriff, all in one.
Cold as it was u worthy justice,
aided by his son, conducted the travel
place near the meeting house where
the stocks We're placed. Here the trav-
eler was confined in the usual manne
the benevolent executor of the law re-
naming with him to beguile the time
Of its tedium by edifying conversa-
ton.
At the expiration of the hour be was
r~econducted to the house and hospita-
bly, entertained till the next morning,
when the traveller departed with, let is
hope, a determination to consider his
words more carefully before giving
them utterance in the hearing of a con
S%scientious magistrate.

Conversion Through Pork.

An old Cambridge friend of mine who
had a good deal Of the wisdom of the
serpent in him had a farmer In his par
ish in Norfolk whom he could not get
to church. Whenever he pressed upon
him his neglect or his bad example ne
was always met with the same excuse.
You be too young and do not know
enough to teach such as l." At last he
gave up the farmer tn despair. But
one day he happened to pass by the
farm while his p%arishioner was en-
gagged in killing a fine pig. My friend
said: "What a pig! Why. he weighs "a
stone!" What dost thou know OF
pigs?' replied the farmer. ~ only wish
he weighed as much" When they next
met, the farmer. to his surprise. told
my friend that the pig had been found
to weight just "a stone. He added.
much to my friends qualification. And
thou wilt see me at church next Sun
day. Observation-Disclosures Guardian.

On another occasion. having thrown
off the bedclothes in his sleep, he

began such a merry Gathering of

got along nicely and in the morning
went to their homes satisfied that
