MISS
RUTH
BRYAN
To Become the Bride
of an Eastern
Artist
Won Her Heart While Paint
ing the Picture of Her
Father

Lincoln, Neb.. Oct. 2.-Thls was a
happy day for Miss Ruth Bryan. In
the first place IL was her eighteenth
birthday. the day on which she be-
comcs her own mistress. and. natural.
". a day Of rejoicing for any young
woman. But a still more potent cause
contributed TO the happiness Of Miss
Bryan. Il was the eve Of her wedding
day. for tomorrow she is to become the
bride Of William Homer Leavltt, an
artist who came out from the East and
won the heart Of the fair Western girl,
while painting the portrait Of her faith
er Col Bryan.
The happiness Of Miss Bryan is not
Iessened in looking forward TO the fe-
licitoua event Of tomorrow. by contem-
plating what might have been, for, as
has become publicly known, both Col.
Bryan and Mrs. Bryan were at first op-
poaced TO their daughters wedding.
and. in fact. stoutly refused 70 give
their consent. The principal cause Of
their opposition was the youth Of the
bhde-to-bc. But Miss Bryan inhedts
the, frmness and strength Of character
possessed BY her father, and, after
vainly trying 10 get her parents con
sent. boldly announced that with or
without II. she was determined to mar
~ the man Of her choice on the very
day she became her own mistress.
But the determination Of the young
woman was not 20 be put to the su-
preme test. Both Col Bryan and his
wife relented and after few more
opportunities from their daughter and
from her fancee the parents decided
that they were not at ali opposed to the
match. and, in fact, would gladly be
stow the parental blessing on the cou-
pie This Is why Miss Bryan Is so
happy today Surrounded by relatives
and friends who have gathered from
far and near she Is celebrating her
birthday In the midst OF great prepar-

The average person of so called cul-
ture who has leisure to read reads too
much and thinks too little, and in con-
sequence his conversation lacks fresh
ness and spontaneity. An exchange,
after saying that people generally read
too much and read more than they
carry, tells story of man who had
been great reader, but had changed
his ways, and people, after he read
less, finding him much more interest
Ing, exclaimed: "How entertaining
John was today! He must have been

Mere reading is waste of time. To
conduce to intelligence the reader must
train the mind to concentration on the
subject In hand, and to concentration
must be added the effort to clothe and
transmit thought in appropriate phrase.

entire crew cleared out. For three
weeks afrr she had discharged and got
her new cargo she lay there with no
crew to take her TO sea- AT last the
captain went to some of the crimps on
shore and told them TO round up crew
under any preteXt. The crlmps sent
men around the docks Offering big
wages to any of the loungers who
would go aboard the vessel to rig
some new sails. Some twenty men
were quickly picked up. many of them
In their shirt sleeves, and were taken
aboard. They were then covered with
revolvers and rifles by the officers,
and the anchor was weighed. and the
Nova Scotia ship stood out TO sea, her
unwilling crew leaving families behind
without even chance TO let them
know what had happened. The next

touched some unclean object with his

touch would be also rendered unclenn
and thus make him IN uncleen man.
Seeing no other way TO get out of the

that unless the finger was cut off he
Ohc Brahmnm was unable to take food.
The carpenter tried TO dlssundc the
dcyotcc and urged that nm application
OF some drops of water from the sa-
cred river Gunga would make the fin
ger once more holy but the Brahman
persisted. He said that the finger wns
Of no use TO him any longer and that
he would not rest until II was severed
AS final recourse the carpenter re-
solved to play his awkward customer n
trick. lie told the l,rnhmnn to put his
finger on nm anvil and to look to the
Sky while the wound wns inflicted.
Tho Brnhmnn did 80. The carpenter
took mp hntchet and gave the finger

tlcnt, who at once put the finger In his

man that the blow Ind missed and the
little finger was still entire; and, worst
Of All, the Brnhmnn had dcfllcd himself
