SAYING PRAYERS IN ADVANCE.
How Thoughtful Child Provided for

Seasons Enjoyment.
Julian Hawthorne sometimes tells
an amusing story of the childhood of
his daughter Hildegarde. ="
Once, when Hildegarde was a 1T
tie girl" he will begin, "she was
elated over the fact that we were
all going to spend the summer at the
seashore. Particularly was she elated
on the night before our departure.
Her eyes shone, her cheeks were
flushed, and she could do nothing but
dance and clap her hands for joy.
After she had gone to her room
heard her chattering away like an
insane person for a long time. I
peeped in and saw her on her knees
praying. Over and over again she
repeated the same prayer
'Hildegarde, said, what on
earth are you doing, child?'
AZ am saying my prayers now for
all summer, she answered, so that I
won't have to waste any time, on

The constitution of Florida pro.
vides that elections by the legislature
shall be viva voee and elections by
the people shall be by ballot. Up to
few days ago voting in Kentucky
was done by the viva voce method
each man declaring his choice, and
the abuses incident to 1t brought
about its repeal. The danger of viva
voce voting in Kentucky may be bet
ter understood from the fact that
many of the voters were armed.

Music.

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon
this bank;
Here we will sit and let the sounds Of
music
Creep in our ears; soft stiffness and the
night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heay-
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright
gold;
There's not the smallest orb which thou
behold'st
But In his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young eyed cherubims
Such harmony is In immortal souls;
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close 1t in, we can not hear

WHEEL WASHES HEAD
PAT DENVER THROWN FROM A
WAGON AND DRAGGED-HE
MAY NOT SURVIVE.

Pat Denver, driver of one OF the city
wagons used for carting away rubbish and
ice from the streets, met with mlshap
at the corner of Main and Mercury streets
about II o'clock this morning that may
cost him his life.
Denver was driving down Main street
rather fast when the wagon struck some
obstruction near the corner OF Mercury
and he was thrown off his seat. He fell
in front of the wheels and was dragged
20 feet or more with his head directly
under the edge of the wheel before the
wagon could be stopped. A singletree
broke at the time the wagon struck the
obstruction and this may have something
to do with the accident.
There were many people on the street
at the time and the horses were stopped
and the man taken from under the wagon.
He never lost consciousness, though the
force OF the wagon wheel had seemingly
crushed his head very severely. The po-
lice patrol wagon was called and Denver
was taken in stretcher to the police sta
ton and thence to his home at II27 Utah
avenue. DR.. Sullivan was called and -at-
tended the man.

CHINESE WEDS THE GIRL
End of Caucasian-Moneoan Romance
From livnuston.

From Livingston.
The Caucasian Mongolian romance from
Livingston and Butte and Pocatcllo has
ended in the way many love affairs termi-
nate. Sheriff Quinn yesterday got back
from Pocatello with Charles Kun, the
Chinaman who was charged by Leta Nc
Cormick with seducng her under promise
of marriage and then abandoning her in
Butte, to which place they had come to
have the wedding ceremony performed.
This morning the Chinaman went into
the office of the clerk of the district court
and asked for marriage license. Cupid
Waugh issued it. In it the age of the
groom is given as 28 and that of the
bride as Io. The couple went before a
justice of the peace and had the knot
tied
Kun is an American Chinaman, having
been born in San Francisco. The girl
gave her birthplace as South Dakota.
Justice Doran, before whom the couple
was married. enjoys the distinction Of
being the first magistrate to ohiciate at
such function, and tied the knot in his
own inimitable style.
In the absence of a bridesmaid Wong
Long filled the place like a truly blushng
maiden, while the groom was attended by
Burt Marsh, who is an old timer at such
doings.
Immediately after the ceremony Kun
announced that he would take a wedding
trip to California with his bride, and would
then return to Livingston and then be at
home to his friends.
Judge Doran declares he did not kiss
the bride, but it is said he fined his con-
stable and two others for contempt of
court for performing this duty before the
honorable court had chance to plant one
upon the rosy lips of Kum's bride.
