a KENTUCKY HEROINE.
She Got Her Hero Out of the Army and
Married Kim-R0mance III Real
Life.

Macon Telegraph.
a recent Washington dispatch
contains the brief outline Of one of
the prettiest love stories of real life
that has come to our notice in some
time. The two principals ate young
Kcntuckians of good family. The
man wanted to be a soldier, and as
he failed to get commission, he
enlisted anyhow, hoping to rise
from the ranks. But there was not
much fighting and little chance for
distinction, and after fair trial of
the dul! routine as common soldier
in barracks, he saw that he had
made mistake and decided to come
homo, choose a more attractive and
profitable career, and marry the
gir, hc loved.
Hul owing 10 the difficulty of in
GucjnE young men to go to the
Philippines and the increasing NUM-
Der Of assertions from the army, his
application for discharge was re
fused as is the almost invariable
rule for the reasons stated Here
the girl i'll the case made herself
felt She bodily announced her de-
termination to go to the Philippines,
marry her soldier and share with
him the hardships Of his life there.
Being Of age and girl of her word,
this caused CONSERVATION among the
members Of her family. The rest
Of the story is thus told:
"Hcr father, III a panic, wrote to
Senator McCreary, stating the case,
assuring the senator that he could
not control his daughter and saying
that her rash determination must be
thWartcd at amy cost. The senator
posted to the war department as
soon as he got the letter, and laid
the matter before Secretary Root.
The secretary deliberated for while
and called in Gen. Young and they
read the letter together.
" We're not granting dis
charges, said the secretary, slowly,
but this seems to be a case where
we cant help it,
And it is case Of such urgency
that it demands the use Of the cable
instead Of the mails said General
Young. This young woman seems
very determined. She might not
wait.
"Whercupon the cablegram was
selU, and at the same time Senator
McCreary tclcgraphed his friend in
Kentucky that the daughter need
not 60. \ girl who IS ready to
leave luNNrics behind and so to the
Philippines 10 share the lot Of q
COMMON soldier is girl really in
io<e--than WuiGh thcrc is nothing
swectcr in all This world OF selfish
Hess and greed. There is SO much
marrying for money, position aud
power, and SO much love for soft
ease and fear of hardships, that the
story Of this Kentucky heroine is
inspiring. We hope her released
soldier is worthy of her and that
they will soon achieve their hearts
desire and be "happy ever after"
