Charlotte, NJ c., Feb. 2s.-A pathetic
case Of child bride deserted when she
brought up in the Recorders court here
today when Mrs Lille Graham, had her
husband arrested for desertion
Lille Rose lived with her mother
on a little farm at Tampa, in the
lower end of Mecklenburg county. When
she was sixteen years old, Arthur Col
den, then a telegraph operator in Wash
ington, wrote her, he having obtained her
address in some manner. She replied and
then sprang up courtship through the
mails. Three years ago Golden came to
Tampa to further WOO the girl, and the
result was a marriage.
Three weeks later the girl tearfully
explained to Recorder Shannanhouse,
that Golden had deserted her. Her pride,
she said, had prevented her from en-
deavoring to locate him, and until yes
terday she had never set eyes upon him
nor heard a word as to his Whereabouts
She encountered Golden upon the streets
of Charlotte yesterday afternoon and had
him arrested.
he was anxious TO have his girl bride
but that it had been with him a case of
too much mother-in -law He said he had
written her time and again, but his let
tiers had been invariably returned to him
through the dead letter office, which acts
he also ascribed to the mother OF the
girl. Finally he determined to see his
bride again and for that purpose had
made the journey to Charlotte, arriving
a few moments before his arrest Re-
corder Shannonhouse sent Golden back to
a cell until he could fully investigate the
case
Compulsory vaccination was begun here
today in earnest. Dr. Witherspoon
county physician. started out on a house
to house canvass, accompanied by two
police officers.
The small pox situation shows no i'm
provement. Five negroes on one of the
prlnclpal streets of the city were re-
moved to the pest house late last night
suffering from the disease There were
eight negroes in the family, but three OF
the suspects managed to escape before
the officers and physician reached the
mouse; They were captured this after
noon. but not before they had mingled
freely with others of their color. The
vaccination crusade was begun in the
negro quarter and will include the en-
tire city.

The Milburn house at Buffalo is
daily visited by thousands who want
to see the death place of the third
martyr president of the United States.
The people want something to take to
their home as souvenirs. They eagerly
pounce upon leaves from the trees in
front of the house; they hunt for
pebbles and until the police interfere
they pluck leaves from the shrubbery
in the yard From early morning until
late at night two policemen are on
guard at the house. One of the officers
who has spent much time at the Mil
burn house since the presidents body
was removed, in speaking Of the people

DON'T YOU SEE?

When Florence doth awalking go
with her proud father, tall,
She draws herself to fullest height
lest folks may think she's small;
81 am no more little girl. she
says: and like queen,
She steps as thirty were her years in
stead of seventeen.
I'm most as tall as you, papa: she
cries in girlish glee,
And someday I'll loook down on you
while you look up to me"
So merrily they smile and jest while
passing down the street.
And Florence doth a-walking go in
happiness complete.
If Florence should a-walking go when
raindrops chance to fall,
She nestles to her fathers side and
seems most strangely small.
She quite forgets her queenly air and
with becoming style,
Is just a winsome. quiet, meek, wee
grille for awhile.
And looking in her fathers face, with
pleading voice and low,
please carry my umbrella then
says she; because you know
A great big man like you are and a
girl as short as me
1t wouldn't look SO very well if
should-dont you see?"

the finest of gold or silver wire chains.

ruby or emerald is interspersed, with
an oblong pearl or an antique pendant
hanging from the center. Strings of
pink coral are all that is left to us

can merely write a good magazine or
newspaper advertisement will not an
swer the purpose. 1t calls for a genius
who can originate and work out the
entire publicity scheme.
Humanity will wear more shoes and
farmers will use more wagons in 1902
than ever before in the history of the
race; but the man who has a million
invested in the manufacture of shoes
or wagons can do little in the coming
years without the genius of publicity
He must call to his aid the mez of

of presenting forcefully and effectively
to the millions of consumers the mer-
its of a particular commodity. The
genius of the artist. the printer. the
photographer and the writer will be
laid under tribute to this twentieth
century profession of publicity More
than ever before will it engage the
thought and energy of men OF talent
and education, The time Will come
when the devising of an original, skill
full and successful plan for Launching
new commodity upon the market
will command a fee that would now

PETTIcOAT INsURREcTioN.

: One of the first 'woman's rights
movements in America was connected
with the early history of the settle
ment of Louisiana There early in the
century occurred the first ''petticoat
insurrection," says Pearson's for the
month.
The French girls who had come to
settle in the country under the allure
ments which proved deceptive were
particularly indignant at being fed on
corn. Bienville thus reports the mat
ter in one of his dispatches:
The males in the colony begin
through habit, to be reconciled to corn
as an article of nourishment; but the
females, who are mostly Parisians
have for this kind of food a logged
aversion, which has not yet been sub
dued. Hence they inveigh bitterly
against his grace the bishop of Que
Der, WHO. they .ay, has enticed them
away from home under the pretext OF
sending them to enjoy the milk and
honey of the land of promise

DOROTHY REMNANT STANLEY,

One Of the many houses in London
at which Americans are sure of a
cordial welcome is that of Lady Stan
ley, the wife of Sir Henry, the ex-
plorer.
AS Dorothy Tenant the gamnetism
and brilliancy of Lady Stanley was
acknowledged. 1t was always said
of her that she would do something
out of the ordinary. She did undoubt-
eddy do something out of the ordinary
when she married the greatest ex-
plorer of the age.
In all of Sir Henry's undertakings
Lady Stanley aids and abets him.
She is interested, she says, in every
thing interesting. Of English and
American literature she is especially
fond, while with that of China and
other distant countries she is won
derfully conversant.
1t is, in fact, extraordinary that she
can find time to do much reading and
yet not neglect her home or social
duties. About the latter no one is more
punctilious. Happily for the women,
housekeeping III EuSldllu Is not near
ly so worrying as it is in America.
Her home on Richmond Terrace is
charmingly unpretentious. The draw
ing-roOm is a spot where one likes to
linger. 1t is of good proportions and
! we'll filed but not overcrowded, with
artistic bits of furniture and bric-a-
brac collected from various places
Everything is more or less of a rarity
Furniture is not here just because it
is furniture. Of old enamels and
miniatures there is in one corner a
collection.
