AN INTERNATIONAL ROMANCE.

An exchange says:
 The announcement of the engagement of Capt. John D. Little, former Speaker of the Georgia Legislature. and Mrs. Ilah Dunlap Jordan, calls attention to an international romance of which the bride-to-be was the heroine. Mrs. Jordan was engaged in 1904 to Senor Don Luis F. Corea, Nicaraguan Minister to ahe United States. Anony- nous letters which questioned Minister Corea's moral and business standing. his social position and his being whte caused postponement of this wedding.
 The daughter of a wealthy merchant of Macon. Ilah Dunlap's marriage to Col. Lee Jordan. 70 years old, and one of the richest men of the State, occur red when she was 24. Senor Corea met Mrs. Jordan at Washington in the spring of 1904.
 When Mrs. Jordan sailed for Europe with her brother last summer, Don Luis joined his hancee in Europe. and to- gether they made purchases for their home, in the Nicaraguan legation near Dupont Circle. November 1, 1904, was the date set for the. ceremony. While the betrothed couple were still in Paris, letter was received by Mayor Bridges Smith of Macon, while he was sitting with the Council of that city. It was so startling that the Mayor read it aloud at once.
 Mrs. Jordan refused to believe any one of the charges. expressed complete faith in Senor Corea, and said she was willing to marry him ats once. MT. Corea, on the other hand. asked for postponement of the wedding until he could prove the allegations false. and thus clear his honor.
 Detectives investigated and ascribed the letter to woman. No clue. how ever, led to the writer's identity. Senor Corea, after a visit home, brought back letters of the most convincing charac- ter.
 The Nicaraguan Minister visited Mrs. Jordan at Macon on Christmas day in that year. He returned to Washington a bachelor, and there was no further announcement regarding the contem- plated union. In the following April dispatches from Macon announced that the engagement was broken. The only reason given was that the publicity connected with the groundiess scandal about Senor Corea was painful to Mrs. Jordan and her relatives.

state Master Horton of Michigan
Gives Answer to Some Questions.
Hon. George T. Horton, master of
Michigan state grange. has for several
years been at the head of the grange
movement, and by his Individual eff
forts, seconded by strong deputy Or
ganization. has built up the grange u
its present high standard in that state
In recent interview he was asked if
he saw any danger or signs of danger,
ahead in the grange movement; If
so, what are they: He replied: In
times Of prosperity there is danger of
those being attracted to activity for
selfish purposes. For farmers by farm
erS and in the interest of farmers
should be the words passed all along
grange lines. No matter how seemingly
sincere or earnest and solicitous for our
welfare, be watchful OF the active
movements of those members not di-
rectly interested in the filling of the soil
or in farm life"
Asked if the grange was undertaking
too many things in national and state
to attempt less and perhaps secure
more, Mr., Horton replied: There is
very little danger of tie grange be-
coming Overa aggressive. Our chief care
should be to espouse reforms based
upon common sense and justice. If we
are wise in this. the good name Of the
grange will be pelpetuated through
generations to come"
Asked what questions Of a public
nature are now demanding the atten-
ton Of the grange in Michigan, Mr..
Horton said: I'VE are attempting to
amend the direct nominations law and
also enact good roads legislation in
rational way We are discussing for
csry from the farmers standpoint and
have kept up the agitation for the dc.
naturod alcohol law, which is now on
our statute books"

Rural Delivery Notes

Illinois will probably be given the
credit Of starting the first rural free
mail delivery by automobile. 1t has
been started ut Plainticld, VIII county,
on a twenty-siX mile route. covered by
II W RitZenthaler. The car that the
carrier uses looks like an open buggy
Patrons of the rural free delivery
routes throughout the country have
been notified by the postoffice depart
ment that in the future they may pro-
vide themselves with suitable boxes
which are weather proof ana tit recep-
tacles for mail. The patrons of the
rural routes will be allowed the privi-
lege Of making their own boxes or buy
ing them from any manufacturer.
Since free delivery of mail in rural
districts has been established l have
been pleased to discover two or three
pairs Of bluebirds nesting undistmbed
in mail boxes by the roadside, says a
writer in st Nicholas. 1t is gratifying
to know that the birds allowed them
selves to be disturbed two or three
times Il day and vet not abandon their
nests. But the thing that gives the
bird lover the greatest delight is the
fact that no one robbed the nests.
The establishment Of the rural free
selivery service in Minnesota is tend
ing to bring about n better condition
Of the country roads traversed by the
carriers in way that is unexpected
Carriers Alfred Johnson and Frank
Watts, who have routes 3 and that
run out of Mankato, report that the
farmers along those routes have in
proved the roadways by the use OF
drags. 1t is expected that the farmers
on other routes will follow the eX-
ample set
L. L. Fink, a rural mail carrier Of
Grant county, going out of Medford, is
the first man in Oklahoma to use an
automobile in the service, installing
his machine a few days ago. Mr.. Fink
has purchased an eight horsepower We
hicle, Of the low speed, which can
be run at the rate Of thirty miles an
hour at four horsepower. AS a result
of a roadmaking campaign which has
been on in that county for the past
three seasons good roads obtain in that
section Of the territory and this makes
1t convenient for the use of the auto
mobile In the delivery of rural mail.
Mr. Fink can cover his daily route now
in about half the time It formerly re

CIVIC AFFAIRS.
Each Grange SaouII Be the Center Of
civic Life.

civic Life.
The field icI crLn-e activity is as
wide as its members care to make it.
The ideal condition would be to have
the grange the center OF civic life and
rural progress. Its members should
lead in local community improvements,
and they should be a recognized, help
full influence IN every community. The
futur" is to SEQ Important changes in
educational processes and in the larger
utilization Of schools, schoolhouses and
equipment. The rural school should
continue to be the best school, but its
work should be BROUGHT into closer
touch with life on the farm and in tha
home.
\ committee on civic affairs should
he appointed in every grange, and
through this committee the grange and
the public generally would be induced
to promote such objects as the follow
ing: First, neatly kept grounds about
farmhouscs and village homes; second,
attractiyely kept roaGsides, free from
rubbish. but this does not mean to
ruthlessly cut out brush or trees that
add a charm to the landscape; third.
proper care of roadside trees. to see
that they are not gnawed by horses or
destroyed by insects; fourth, co-opera-
ton IN fighting orchard and other tree
pests, so the trees viii not only be
profitable, but have a pleasing look;
fifth, gradually reduce and finally abol-
iSh unsightly advertisements or sign
boards along the highway and on pri-
vate buildings; sixth, cultivate a spirit
Of pride in the whole township, its re-
sources, social life and industrial OPP
TOrtunitics; seventh. 90 everything pos
sible to encourage the development of
small or large manufactures. home in
dustrieS, handicraft, etc.
Every intelligent effort along those
lines will rebound to the interest Of
the grange as well as he benefit TO
all the community.
