among the old inhabitants until he
found one who remembered that Miley.
had gone down somewhere lea: Spar.
tanburg,S. c., to:preach. Pickens went
there and learned that the church had
sent Miley as a missionary minister into
the hill country. Of the western end Of
the state n 4: &<.' -, -
= By that time:it was April, and the date
set for the wedding was. approaching
rapidly. Pickens wrote, appealing to
the church authorities to give him some
trace Of. the man.: 49, IL $3.50
The latest record they had of him
was 1885,, when an entry in the books
showed that he had resigned charge
near Murphy, and no further trace Of
him was found.
Plckens hurried to Murphy. The
parishioners remembered that Rev. Mr..
Miley had been offered a missionary po-
sition-they thought in some northern
state-and had accepted. Then Pickens,
getting panic stricken, placed adver-
tisements in scores of newspapers, ask
ing for information regarding the min
lister.
The advertisements brought results.
He found four ministers named J. w.
M1ley and nine ministers named Miley
whose first names were not definite The
week before the date set for the wedding
he received a telegram saying that the
man he sought was preaching near Bel
fast, O. He wrote and telegraphed, hop.
ing to the last minute that he might be
able to get the minister there, and then
received reply from the Belfast Miley
stating that he never had lived in the
south at all, but would be proud and glad
to come on and perform the ceremony.
For a time Pickens hesitated whether
or not to bring on the Belfast minister
and pass him off as the Miley who was
wanted. Then, realizing that discovery
of such a trick might wreck the life hap
piness of both, he abandoned the idea,
and; going to Miss Hinshaw, he pleaded
with her to give UP her plan, and to LEI
the home minister perform the cere-
mony. !
49, Wedding Is Postponed.
Her tfousseau was all prepared, tho
preparations made, the negroes all ex-
cited over the coming marriage of
missile Liza, but the girl refused, and
the wedding was postponed.
No definite date was set then, as she
promised to marry him as soon as he
found the minister
Pickens then sent an appeal to the
officers of every church organization in
the country asking for information. He
advertised again. Finally he learned
that a Rev. Mr.. Miley had served as a
missionary in India and then had been
sent to Africa.
Whether 1t is the same minister or not
Pickens could not learn. He had, &C
cording to the church authorities, in
herited quite sum of money and had
volunteered for the work, paying his
own'expenses and acting as sort of frea
lance missionary.
Pickens cabled American and English
consuls, wrote to resident missionaries,
munication with his man, or the one he
supposed to be his man, but never could
hear directly. He finally learned tina,
the minister was among the natives in
the French Congo region.
Now he is preparing to start for the
Congo. But there are those who declare
Miss Hinshaw is beginning to waver
and that she will decide at the last min.
ute that any minister will do.

Southern Miss Insists That None But Preacher

Lover Now Seeking Him.

Just because the bride insists on be-
Ing married by the same minister who
performed her mothers wedding cere-
mony, the great event has been post
poned and worldwide search is at
present going on for the man.
Rev. John w. Miley is the missing
preacher. Nineteen years ago he re-
sided at Crowley, hamlet near Will
mington, N. c. The United States has
been searched from end to end and the
frantic lover is now preparing for trip
to the Congo in search of him. The trail
of the minister has been followed to In
dia--and now to Africa-with faint
hopes. Four Rev. Mr.. Mileys have been
discovered, but Rev. Mr.. Mfley who
united Mason Hinshaw and Miss Fred
erick Willis in marriage 10 years ago
is lost. r..
And because Rev. Mr.. Miley cannot be
found the marriage of Davis Pickens to
Miss Liza Hinshaw cannot be cele-

fectly easy to train bird to stand
erect and be exhibited. The men that
make this claim generally try to carry
it out by practice. For weeks before
they exhibit their fowls they confine
them in coops similar to tie ones that
are to be used in the exhibition. In
feeding the birds in these coops they
place the food so high that the birds
will have to reach for it. They claim
that by this means they make it easier
for the bird to stand erect when it is
being judged.

Did you ever think how it rejoices
the heart of that boy to be permitted
to go to town with father? It is tho
same way whether father drives out,
no matter if it is only to get a pig
of a neighbor: Get the boy up on the
seat with you, says the Farm Journal.
Be ready to answer all his questions
and there will be a lot of them! Let
him help you hitch up" Trust him
to hold the horses while you are in
the store. Let him help you get the
pig. In, short, think of him as your
right-hand man of tomorrow. It will
do the boy good and you will be the
better man for it.

Hunters Thrilling Experience.

Hunters Thrilling Experience.
Loyal, Wis. - Harry Riddel and
James Cook, both prominent citizens
of Jackson county, Wis, described a
narrow escape they had from being de-
vourcd by wolves one evening recent
ly.. They had been hunting the beasts
all day with a party Of hunters from
neighboring towns and farms. Be-
coming separated from the main party,
they lost their way.
/, At night they gathered some. dry
branches and built a fire. They had
mo sooner kindled the fire than the
bowling of wolves was heard in the
distance, and with their backs to a
large rock the men prepared for
battle.
In ten minutes the forest seemed
alive with dusxy forms, and soon the
battle was raging. The rest of the
parry had gone in search of the MISS
ing men and came upon them after
they had exhausted their ammunition
and were fighting with firebrands as
a last resort. The wolves dispersed at
the approach of the larger party, Is

How the Printer Erred.

It was typographical error that
threatened to bring streaks of gray
into the locks of the editor of a newly
started weekly which purported to
chronicle the doings of the smart set
of western city. In reality, however,
it sold out the edition and filled the
readers with a desire to see what
would develop in the succeeding NUM-
bers. The subject Of the paragraph
was pink luncheon given by a we'll
known matron. When the edition was
given to the public it was found that
the opening lines of general eulogy
were followed by the bald statement:

foreman, has left Carolina and started
to search the world to find the missing
minister, bring him back if he is alive,
or to produce absolute proof of his
death.
All this trouble, and travel, and search
results from the fact that Miss Hinshaw
refuses to become Mrs. Pickens unless
the minister who married her father and
mother also can perform the ceremony
for her.
Miss Hinshaw is a handsome, win.
some, clever and witty girl, the daugh-
ter of well-to-do planter; and her
mother, who was known through all the
Roanoke section 20 years ago as 1.-THE
beautiful Miss Willis" left a heritage OF
beauty to the girl. The mother died
when Miss Hinshaw was II years old,
and the girl remembered the tall, dark
haired, dark-eyed mother, whom she
had loved so passionately, and even
after years she remembered her moth
er's romance as her mother had told ii
to her.
Mothers Romantic Marriage.

ried under romantic circumstances.
They were engaged secretly for months,
and, although there were no objections
to the match except on account OF
youth, they ran away. They did not
elope exactly, but one beautiful evening
while driving through the wooded coun-
try they came to Crowley, and there
the young man proposed that they stop
and get married. They inquired the
way to the home Of the minister, and
were directed to the house in which
Rev. John W. Miley :hen lived, and they
were married and returned home to 70.

any other girl. She had seen him when
he came home at vacation times attired
in his gray uniform, with the quadruple
rows Of brass buttons, and had fallen in
love with the uniform. So when they
met it was a ease from the first, and
they were engaged before he went back
to school to finish his career. :s.~
They did not keep their engagement
a secret, and they had no trouble in get
ting the consent of :tMase', Hinshaw,
who knew and liked the handsome son
of his old friend. j .~...>., .. ',....s'
About a year ago the young lover
asked his flancee to set the date. And
right there the trouble commenced. She
consented to be married on May II, but
stipulated that Rev. Mr.. Miley must per-
form the ceremony. Pickens, who did
not care who performed the ceremony,
laughingly asked why she wanted that
particular minister instead Of the home
preacher. And she told him the story
of her mothers romance and Of the
childish VOW she had made that she
would be married by the same man.
So he told her that he would make the
arrangement

be shoveled from the wagon directly

Mrs. III. Wriahf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is q
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by o
derangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has a peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
As proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia 4. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which SO degenerated the entire system that /
was unable to attend to my daily duties. I
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. I tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. l was ad-
vised to give Lydia K. PinkiSam's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find MAT it acted like fine tonic, and In .
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
FIVE weeks was a well woman. / have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such a record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

From the capital Of Brazil, half ths
land and half the people Of South
America are governed. 1t Is the chief
financial and industrial city Of the
greatest undeveloped empire on
earth. Rio Janeiro is fast-growing
town. It had just crossed the half
million mark In 1890. In 1900 1t
reached three-quarters Of a million,
and today 1t has at least 100000
more. 1t Is bigger than any town in
the United States excepting Philadel-
phia, Chicago or New York, and 1t is
only 10000 less than Buenos Ayres,
which has now just 100000.
To my mind Rio de Janeiro is one
Of the most beautiful cities Of the
world. writes Frank G. Carpenter.
The harbor Is surrounded by great
mountains with their tops in the
clouds. The mountains are covered
with tropical vegetation from base
to summit, and they are Of most
curious shapes. One rises out OF the
sea like sugar baf to a hight OF
more than twice that of the Wash
jngton monument; another is a mighty
hunchback, and others are great forts
and massive battlements. The harbor
itself is shaped just like pear, but
1t Is so large that all the ships Of all
the world could anchor there and have
room to spare. 1t is 106 miles around
1t, and the water is almost everywhere
over 60 feet deep. The bay Is dotted
with islands which appear to float, as
1t were, upon its diamond-studded sur
face.

market holds firm and current orders

eating that stocks may become quickly

late liberal contracts and the water
