Brides are probably just as beautiful
now as ever they were, but they are
not nearly so anxious to record their

the sweet things would realize that, In
stead of looking their best on that oc-

their worst. It is the same way when
they come to be photographed in their
wedding fnery. They are either too
pale or too red. and they have a nerv-
Gus. anxious expression that robs the
face of all good lines for photographic
purposes.
''The time was when no bride consH-
cred herself really married until she

some device to keep her from scrouging

equally inappropriate embrace. But

time to mining engineering and to the de-

When Carter was sent to Leavenworth he
talked much Of his anxiety for civil trial.
He said that he wanted to have his case
passed upon by competent civil court,
and that on his release he would go to
Savannah and demand a trial at once. OF
late he has not been talking this way.
It Is said, however. that he is very bitter
against Greene and Gaynor and would will

them. The governments extra efforts to
have them brought from Canada now is
said to be desire to place them on trial
soon after the release of Carter.
Carter is now a~trusty or f1rst-grade

go outside the walls on errands, but Carter
does not desire this privilege. On the con-

walls unless forced to.
He would run a risk of meeting military

of dismissal from the service. Carters SEN

The special committee upon the re-

Stockwell, the work has been mapped

has agreed upon the non-essentials that
can be eliminated and the new work
that can be added with benefit to the
schools. The question of teaching the
science of agriculture in the common
schools has been discussed for some
time, and preparation OF a manual in
this study is being done to show
teachers what IA be done than for the
immediate education of pupils.
