HOW TOBE AND
 SALLIE GOT MARRIED
BY WALTER HARPER.

Everybody was anxious to get them safely married, but no one seemed to know just how to manage the matter, and yet 1t had become settled fact that some outside help was absolutely neces- sary to an agreeable continuation of the affair.
 Tobe had made a thousand courageous attempts, but Salles smile had frustrated him every time and every failure had driven him wild with despair.
 Their courtship had become the joke of the settlement. At every public or They were almost insoperable. and yet no one had heard them exchange many words. In company Tobe was the picture of miserable awkwardness that was really painful to behold Many wondered if they ever talked together when alone or did they conduct their cour.ship on purely sight methods or psychic, soul intercourse?
 Just before memorable Christmas some of the young people of the settle ment got their heads together and de- cided upon a unique plan of getting Tobe and Salie together. The plan promised some fun at least even if 1t failed of the good purpose intended.
 There was to be grand Christmas tree at the little brown school house on the hill. and great preparations were being made for the occasion. Selected commit tees were going to town almost every day making purchases of toys and other articles to be put on the tree as gifts Others were engaged in dressing the tree and arranging details.
 It was an assured fact that Tobe and Sallie would attend together, and 1t was

v v Ow Tobe Jones and Sallie Smith Fl finally got married after an awk- ward courtship of six years dura- ton has never been forgotten by the easy-going variety-loving people of Liz gard l,ope.
 They have been living happily now for ten years on Tobe's forty in the bend os the river, and have five bright-eyed children around them to add to the de- is.xhts of their simple love; but for a long time the people in Lizzard Lope district despared of ever seeing them tied up. though they were avowed lovers and no one dared to disturb the sanctity of their right to eachother.
 Tobe was considered the best catch in the district with his forty acres and a mule all paid for, and Sallie was favor itc with all the swains. She was the souire's daughter. and besides that she was pretty and of most amiable dispo- sition.
 Tobe was the most bashful man in the world and though he and Sallie had been s'steady company" for six long years, he had never been able to bring himself to the point of declaring his in- tentions. By association Sallie had be- come almost as timid as Tebe, and there fore was able to give him but little en- couragement.
 So at the time we take up the thread of their lives the case had become almost anopelcss, and, the, neighborhood people were at their wits end to know how to expedite EastterA

tho tree and delivered except one in the very top. and as the professor got on a chair to reach that every eye turned on Tobe, and he, perceiving the attention, grew nervous and swung his hands hys- terically about his head. He reached for his hat and stepped on Sallie's toes, which increased his confusion, and sig nificant litter went over the house like ripple of water on the calm surface of a pond.
 There followed a silence in the room that was almost oppressive. Professor Blake. still standing on the chair with the last package In his hand. announced: "The last package on the tree Is ad- dressed to MT. Tobe Jones and Miss Sal lie Smith. collectively. It seems to be legal envelope and is from the office of the county license clerk. Johnnie. please deliver the package to MT. Jones'"
 Poor MT. Jones had collapsed. His long arms went straight up In the air and in the circle they cut on their way down struck the nose of the preachers wife just behind him. His legs went straight out in front of him and ripped up Johnnie. who, had stepped forward to deliver the package Sallie almost faint ed in her confusion. She received the package, and as poor Tobe reached for it he lost his balance and sprauled across her lap onto the floor. He secured the suspicious package, however. and as he made an effort to hide it in his pants pocket the young people surrounded him and demanded to know what he had re- ceived.
 "Some durned scoundrel is playing a joke on me and I am mad, spluttered Tobe, red in the face
 Put the crowd was ins.stent. arguing that they had shown everything they had received and that he should be as fair with them.

jeered some one. and this made Tobe mad.
 snatching the envelope from sallie's hand he tore the seal remarking, "Afeard. do you say? Durned if I'm afeard of any man here"
 "There's a woman here you are afraid of. eh. Tobe?"
 Tobc made no answer to this, though his feet made several suggestive ges- lures. It was Sallies turn to blush, which she did most beautifully
 By this time Tobe had the envelope open, after having dropped it several times in his confusion. As he drew out heavy parchment bearing an official seal he looked about him miserably and said: If this is some dern mean joke l am going to fog the man tha. done 1t if 1t is the last act of my life"

 'It's a dern lie. and I am ready to fight the man that done it." exclaimed Tobe. as he leaped to his feet and began to pull at his coat.
 Sallie pulled him down in his seat and admonished him to keep quiet. that he would make fool of himself and make matters worse. The. people smiled as they noted the a,acrity with which he obeyed and the smile that played about the mouth of Sallie. She haG regained her composure and really seemed now to enjoy the joke.

BEGGaRS IN INDIA.
Are Fast Disappearins-only About
 Five. Million Left.

From the Times of India.
 The beggar nuisance is a very common one in India, ant the endeavors of the po- lice in the large cities to put it down have met with only limited measure of success. This is no doubt due to the fact that the Indian opinion is remarkably toll erant toward sturdy beggars. especially if they wear the guise of religion. But there is reason to believe that a whole some change is coming over the public sentiment in this as in many other mat ters. There were about 500O.000 beggars in the country at the time of the last cen sus, and nearly one-fifth of the number was classed as religious mendicants. The number, large 6s it is, represented a de- crease of about ' per cent. from that at tue previous census. and the decline has been attributed in part to the compara- lively heavy mortality among them dur ing the famine years But, says the re- port. 'it is also rartly attributable to the spread of education and the consequent weaker hold which the so-called ascetics have on the imagination of the people" 1t

arranged to have them ushered to the front seat, where they would be in full view of the audience.
 This was poss,bly a mean conspiracy, but the irrstigators had decided that the exigencies of the case required strenuous measures. They felt sure that Sallie would welcome Just such an opportunity as was to be offered her and would carry out the plan with the artful diplomacy of a woman confronted with difficult problem The people had faith In Sal lies courage and her good intentions.
 Christmas eve night came and the little scEoo, house was packed to it's utmost capacity. Tobe and Sallie came in to- gether. as expected. and rather late. They were ushered to the bench reserved for them down near the front and Tobe's confusion at being placed In suck prom inent position was almost pitiful to be- hold. Sallie too, was visibly embar- rassed at Tobe's confusion. Tobe's big feet managed to get on everybody's toes in a radius of yard before he got them safely coiled up under the bench, and his big awkward hands worked about in the air like reel on reaper until he got them crammed securely away in his pockets. After some ten or fifteen minutes he subsided into something like a state of calmness. and the proceed ings around the tree. which had seemed to await this arrangement with patience proceeded.
 Professor Blake. the teacher of the dis trict school. acted as Santa Claus. cut the presents from the tree. read the names of the recloients on the tags att tached to each. and handed them to a corps of attendants, who delivered them in the audience.
 The programme progressed right mer- rily. without incident. Everybody re- ceived some article of remembrance and was happy. Tobe and Sally had received their share of the presents and Tobe had industriously advertised the fact each time by miserable unwinding of his arms and legs and blush that threat ened a connagration.
 Every package had been clipped from
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-03-05

whispered conversation that had been started by his companion.
 Just before the song closed the people were amazed to see Tobe hand the li- cense to the minister. who was sitting directly behind him. and after a few words with him, straighten up with more determination pictured in his face than had ever been seen there before by the oldest inhabitant.
 At the closing of the song the minister arose with a smile and announced that If the congregation would remain seated for a few moments he would proceed to solemnize the marriage of Mir. Tobe Jones and Miss Sallie Smith, well known to all present.
