Seventy, Was Never Kissed
'Uncle Eli" Was Bashful in
Presence of Ladies.

Martin, Tenn, Dec. On the
death of Eli Richardson Weekly
County loses a good citizen, but a
unique character. "Uncle Ell"
as he was called, was over seventy
years Of age, but did not look over
sixty. He said that he had never
kissed woman in his life. He
was a very timid and bashful boy,
and at party before the CivilWar
a game was often played in which
the young lady had to forfeit a
kiss to her captor. Young Rich
ardson's timidity being known, a
plan was formed to get him to kiss
a young lady. She being posted,
placed pin in her mouth and
when Ellis bashful lips were to
press hers she was to prick his lips
with the pin. The fatful moment
came. Eli demurred, but was
prevailed upon to take the kiss
from the seemingly backward
maiden. His courage gained
strength and he started to imprint
the kiss, but his eye caught the
CLEAN Of the pin, and he refused,
and from that day until his death,
he never attempted TO or did kiss a
woman.

girls Of her age have known Santa
Claus for years. while Gertie Trusty
has been cooking three meals a day.
darning her husbands socks. wash
ing. ironing and sweeping. Now that
she has been a wife and a widow Ger
tie is just about to- become a little girl.
At the age OF Gertie Trusty be-
came the wife OF John Leeper, whose
60 years We're evident in fact and fig
ure. The bride-elect. as she stood be-
fore the preacher and promised TO
obey her liege lord and be a faithful
wife to him. was an odd sight Her
hair brushed straight back from the
forehead. partly severely in the mid
die. was gathered in the inevitable
''pigtail'' braids OF young girlhood and
struggled down the line of dress but
tons at her back. As for the dress IL
self. it was no creation of the modiste.

thing old and something new; some
thing white and something blue" was
disregarded in Gertie Trusty's case:
everything was old. the wedding dress
was the everyday. short-skirted dress.
There the little 9-year-old girl stood
by the side of her G5-year-old man and
in piping treble answered Il WIZ
TO the solemn words of the preacher.
Gertie Trusty was Mrs. John Leep-
er from the time she was 9 until
shortly after she had passed her tenth |
birthday. She was good and faith |
ful wife To the best of her ability. She
followed her husband TO Arkansas and
there in a little village she helped him
establish the new home. Life setted
down into commonplaces. Other lit
tie girls passed on their way To school,
yodeled OF triiled and laughed in child
ish glee as they coasted and bobbed
on the snow-covered hills or danced
away To- the picnics of the summer
tine. But Gertie Trusty Leeper was
a wife. and there was Homework TO
do. so she stolidly stayed at her tasks.
Almost Il year passed and the Leep-
ers returned to Washington. Iowa
Geriie Trusty was induced eventually
to sign u petition for a divorce. ii did
not take long for the judge 20. decide.
What To do with her. now that she
was literally born again. was ques-
ton soon settled by kind-hearted
family. In the family of r.

Trusty found a home. There. day by
day. though she knew wifely duties
and responsibilities. she was taught
childish pleasures and pastimes. For
