There were no attendants save Miss

sister of the bride and little Mary

carried the ring, the only child of Mr..

Following them came the bride lean

Her dress of white chiffon fell in
graceful folds to the edge of the train
that swept the floor for some inches.
Her dark hair was crowned by wreath
of orange blossoms from which fell the
misty veil that reached the bottom of
her dress. The bouquet she carried
was exquisite-made up of roses and Ill
lies of the valley and long ropes of
feathered smilax.
Miss Elizabeth Yerkes carried pink
roses to match her gown of white over

Mr.. Bryan's Visit.

William Jennings Bryan arrived in
Frankfort Tuesday morning on
schedule time and delivered one of his
eloquent speeches before the Kentucky
Legislature. He plead with the bolt
ing Democrats to fall in line, but
his pleading was all in vain If we go
by the way the ballots have been cast
since his:speech. We are for Beckham
and think everything possible should be
done to select him, but have at all
times opposed to foreigners mixing IN
our politics and this is fair illustra-
ton of where they do more harm than
good. Mr.. Bryan was not posted IN
regard to the situation.
ENLIGHTENMENT of power. objection TO
which is the very cause of the opposi-
TIN to j. G.. w. Beckham, and the
reason six Democrats are refusing to
vote to keep him in possession of that
power, was roundly denounced by Mr..
Bryan in his speech. lie declared that
the man who embezzles power should
be punished more severely than the
man who embezzles mere money, and
he hoped the time would come when
the embezzler of power would be driven
from the seats of the mighty with the
singing lash now applied TO the en-
peZzler Of money.
Mr.. Bryan also insisted that every
member of the General Assembly
should vote according to the wishes of
his constituents, the men who sent him
make laws and vote in his hands. He
declared that if the member did not
feel that his conscience would permit
him to vote the way his people wanted
him to vote he should resign and let
them elect another man who would rep
resent them.

OVERRIDING Exercise.

It is quite difficult to impress upon
women the good Of exercise; but it is
equally difficult to compel them not to
ovcrdo it.
Give a woman Il pair Of dumbbclls
and tell her to take a gentle exercise
for five minutes every morning, and
she will swing them with violence
several times Il day until her arms
ache from exhaustion.
1t is the same with every form of
exercise suggested. IT seems the ma
ture Of women to ovcrdo ii through
ignorance. They do not know lis value
enough to comprehend its danger
They think if a little is good more
is better.
They weary themselves out, deplete
their heart action, give themselves
acute indigestion, all because they
will not do in moderation the thing
that would make them we'll and
strong.
Doctors and physical culturists say
they have to fight this tendency in
women more than any other one thing
when they are upbuilding their blood
and tissues.

of Feminine Shrewdness.
One Of several men employed in

ed the time honored principle that
women are devoid of principle.
"They ore tricky to the core, every
another's daughter Of them,' he said.
~They don't know what honesty
means.
Mr.. Bateman resented the imputa-
Con.
"I don't believe word Of that,'
lie said. "Women have just rs sound
principles rs men. Take my wife, for
instance. She is the soul Of honor.
You couldn't hire her to do tricky
thing. Just let me tell you what a
trump she showed herself to be Il
week ago. She was coming home
from the matinee. While crossing
Broadway she found package that
had evidently been dropped from the
platform OF Il car. Obviously there
was no way Of catching the car and
restoring the package, so OF course
she brought it home. It contained six
yards Of beautiful creamy lace. The
check said it had been paid for and
cost 1880.
"Now, my wife had two wraps
| whose sleeves needed remodeling, and,
human nature being what it is, her
first thought was that she could util-
ize the lace for trimming. But her
spirit Of rectitudc triumphed.
"'No,' she said, "I won't use the
face. I will take it back to the store.
Possibly the person who lost it will
inquire about it at the lost and found
department.
