this region also building sites are most
valuable and the reasons for stacking up

ROMANCE TN REAL LIFE.
Practical Joker Prevented Marriage

by Sending Spurious Telegram.
DR.. all Mr. Jam Finch. Of a
town west Of the Mississippi who
spent a few days in the city recently
on their wedding journey, bad quite
little romance. says the Pensacola
Journal On the day before they
were to have large wedding. the
brother of the bride, as a joke, sent
her fake telegram, saying the doc
tor was i'll, unable to come. Dis
tracted with grief and alarm, in the
temporary absence Of the family,
the young girl rushed TO the station,
arriving Just in time to climb aboard
an outgoing train on the way to what
her fancy pictured as the deathbed OF
the one mau ia the world to her.
Less than a hundred miles from
her home, her train collIded with an
other. While several of her fellow
passengers were pretty badly shaken
up, she alone was seriously injured
her hip dislocated, an arm broken
and her skull fractured. None of the
passengers on the other train were
hurt beyond a few slight bruises,
except the groom who, well and
happy, was on his way to marry her,
and when the crash came, had his
head so cut and bruised that he was
unconscious for many hours.
Both were too seriously Injured to
be moved on the train, ard were
taken to different residences IN the
village where the collision occurred.
The doctor was first to recover con-
seriousness, and when he learned by
accident that his fiancee had also
been injured insisted upon knowing
how she happened to be there, and
when the whole story came out, in
spite OF doctors, nurses and friends,
who had arrived to look after them,
he got out of bed and hurried, halt
delirious, to her side.
AS soon as she was sufficiently con-
scious he insisted upon being married
then and there, and then established
himself as head nurse and chief con
sulting phyticlan. And, despite his
own suffering, he never left her side
unnecessarily for more than three
Gnths when she was tenderIy re-
moved 20 the home he had prepared
for her, which was much nearer than
her parents home.
There, he devoted himself 70 nurs-
ing her back TO health for nearly two
years, and, late in October be pro-
nounced her able to take their long
postponed wedding trip. sine" which

she wanted that amount of money

After the Freeze.

After the night the day,
After the crime the law,
After the work the pay,
And after the freeze the thaw.
And the street is a river wide,
A vicious glutinous flood,
Bank-full from side to side
OF mucilaginous mud.
And It's Oh, for a stepping stone,
On which TO place ones feet,
Or BUCKET of ashes thrown
For crossing over the street.
You rubber to find way
To bottom the battling flood,
But you find-Alack and a-day!
That your rubbers are stuck In the
mud.
For It's after the day the night,
After the crime the law.
After the bloom the blight,
And after the freeze the thaw.

At the Start.

Young man,
What is your plan
OF progress? Are you
Going to pull through?
Or will YOU lie down In the road -
And let your load
Sink you out OF sight
III the mud?
Have you white
Blood,
And pale,
That curdles at the hard word Fail"
And dares not face
The chances of the race?
Or. have you red, clear red,
The good strong color
All the great have shed
In deed or thought,
For every triumph wrought
Out of what seemed full
OF the impossible?
Have you the nerve
70 serve
Until YOU can be master? To walt
And work outside the gate
Until you win
The strength to open it and enter in q?
Have you the heart to meet
Defeat
Day after day,
And yet hold to the way
That upward leads,
And must needs be hard and rough
OF sinew and of soul,
Before he sees the goal;
So, when 1t is attained,
He shall have strength to hold
What he has gained,
And use it so
That it TO greater good shall grow?
Young man,
Think on these things;
What each one brings
Is as you choose it.
Start in
To win
And keep straight in the way,
UnhaggIng to the end;
Whatever it may 'be
