From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post
 A young fellow out in Havana, who oe- cupied the position of reporter. fell in love with a girl, the daughter of a wealthy planter. He applied to her fath- CT in the orthodox way for his consent to the marriage.
 .'Presumptuous." said the father. with eyes flashing. You. a poverty -striok ell Journalist. and my daughter Sir, get out of my presenee.s
 The journalist was very angry. It brought forth a heated declaration of pride:
 Your daughter is too good for me you say? I will mary a princess before die" And with head erect he left the trate father.
 The journalist went to Spain. He wrote poems. The poems were read by the Princess Josephine, Of whom the present King is the great-nephew. There was I meeting. The two fell in love with each other. It is said the journalist was so sincere in his affection that probably he forgot his declaration to the Havana planter. They were both royalty happy, eloped, married in Valladolid, and were eventually pardoned by Queen Isabella the one-time journalist being received with all the respect due to his new and high rank

 The kaisers Wooinq.
 Though not always so unconventional, according to royal standards, romance has ever been busy in the royal houses of England. Questions of state are usu- ally supposed to be the main considera- tion for marriage in such circles. but in many cases they have been of genuine affection
 The parents of the Kaiser were anxious for him to make an alliance with the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Schleswig- -Holstein but they were wise enough not to mention the matter. It was arranged. however that the prince should receive an invitation to visit the duke and duchess for few days shoot ing, and thus the meeting came about.
 Arrived at Prnkenau, then prince dis missed the carriage and decided to walk to the castle. But he was not quite sure of the road through the park, and was debating the problem with himself when he saw a girl reading In hancock She directed him graciously and he went on. in the castle, for she was the Princess Auguste Victoria. The prince was amazed and pleased. The vision of the graceful girl in the hammock had re- malned with him, and when he saw the young lady in the house of her father a princess of beauty and royal carriage,

NURSE YOUR BABY.
The Mothers Milk Is Both Food and
 Medicine.

The best possible food for baby is mothers milk, and this is what 1t should get whenever possible, says Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, in the Jan uary Delineator. The mother who per mits social "duties," laziness or any other such excuse or motive to inter- fere with her highest of privileges is a woman unfit to bring human beings into the world. The best of all infant foods, like the best of all varieties of modified cows milk, is but sorry substitute for mothers milk. Nothing devised by the ingenuity of physicians anI chemists can so perfectly combine the offices of food, drink and medicine as does the natural food.
 When I say medicine, I speak liter ally for mothers milk gives to the baby some measure of her own ac- quired power of resistance to disease. There is, indeed, good ground for the old saying that so long as child is at the breast, the blood of it's mother continues to flow through it's veins. Recent investigations in susceptibility and immunity have shown that this is true, at least in effect, for the breast fed child shows a distinctly greater capacity for resisting the organisms of all the principal infectious diseases than the child fed upon artificial food. To put it simply, the baby nursed by its mother is far less likely to take measles, scarlet fever or chickenpox, and far more likely to recover quickly and completely if it does, than the baby nourished by cows milk and cereals

 After haggling for half an hour with the surgeon the old scoundrel decided that the terms were extortionate so he sent for a barber, whose price was s cents for opening vein. Vandille asked how many times he would have to be bled. The barber said three times And what quantity of blood do you propose to take each time?" About eight ounces each time "Too much. Too much, That would be IS cents. I could not stand the expense. How much would you charge to take out the entire 24 ounces at one timer oh, it wouldn't cost you any

of saving her life. 'If I undergo it, and it is successful, will you allow Oscar and Ebba to be married?" she asked the King, and, of course, the King promised.
 A year later the Queen was quite well again. The lovers were in her room when the King approached At the door he stood and listened. Miss Munck was singing to the Queen, and he waited un- til It was over. Then he advanced, held out one hand to his son and gave his other to Miss Munck, and so his pledge was fulfilled, and the couple came into their happiness.

JUDGE HOLDING ISSUES BENCH
WARRANTS FOR DEFENDANTS
WHO ARE IN ARREARS.

Something is going to drop with a
dull and sickening thud in the next
day or two and some rather promi-
nent people will be seen hustling to-
wards the court house There are a
number of defendants in cases heard
and decided in the Circuit Court dur
ing the past year or two who have
failed to pay the amounts assessed
against them. Some of these parties
are prominent and are amply able,
but didn't have the heart to part with
the money. The clerk and officers
have urged payment, but have been
put off time and time again with
promises. Judge Holding has now
stepped in and on Thursday issued a
number of bench warrants, which win
be given to the officers today. When
these are served there are two al
ternatives-pay or go to jail. There
will be a liberal payment.

Indications Now Are That II Will
Exceed The Records Of For
mer Years.

Ge5d progress is being made on the
Improvements at the city public
school buildings and both the Andrews
building and the Athenaeum building
will be in excellent condition by the
time school opens September 14th.
Prof w. E. Bostick is giving the
work his personal supervision and is
making some improvements he has
long thought necessary. The work
will cost about $1,000 and the most
important features are new floors
throughout the buildings to replace
some floors that have been down for
forty years and other badly worn
floors. The buildings are also receiv-
ing a new coat of paint.
The outlook for good school year
is excellent The attendance will
doubtless be up to former years and
will probably exceed all records, while
the corps. of teachers is well-chosen.
The colored school will open on the
same day the white school opens, and
Prof. Kelly is well pleased with the
outlook for his school.

lTrom Mondays paily.l

Within ten minutes after Circuit
Court had convened this afternoon the
trial of the case of the State Of Ten
nessee against Harry CRANBERRY on
charge of murder of Washington Long
was in progress. After a brief con-
sultation between the attorneyes rep
.resenting the State and between Mr..
Figuers for the prosecution and Mr..
Hughes for the defendant, Attorney
General Garner, on behalf of the
State, announced ready for trial.
Promptly upon this announcement,
Mr.. Hughes, for the defendant an
nounced The defendant is ready for
trial. and the hearing of the inter-
esting legal contest was begun.
In view of the fact that the entire
special venire of 300 names constitu-
ted large and inconvenient list Mr..
Hughes suggested that it be divided
into blocks of fifty and the names
drawn until the blocks or the entire
yenire might be exhausted. This sug-
gestion did not meet approval
and Judge Hart directed that the en-
panelling of the jury be commenced.

ciety and the Individual; but, aside
from these prospective jurors, these
witnesses, the lawyers, the brothers
of the defendant and some others
closely connected with the case, the
attendance was not large; and the
curious craning of the neck, and the
nervous tension, and the expectant
air-these were not there. The court
room may be surcharged with all this
in the days that are to come; but this
forenoon all was quiet, courteous and
serene.
When the case was called, Mr.. Fig
uers, for the defense, announced that
Acknowledgement Garner, who had just
reached Columbia, was not in the
court room, having gone out to take
bath and shave, and said Mr.. Fig
uers, I'VE think we could save time
by taking recess until one o'clock,
that other counsel may confer with
the Acknowledgement, and in the
meantime learn If our witnesses are
all present"
Judge Hart said he was delighted
to know that the Acknowledgement
was cleaning up, and by way of en-
couragement and commentator to
the counsel in general, he would grant
the recess asked for. Counsel on
both sides consented, and recess
was taken until / D. m.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Counsel For Both Sides Announce
Ready For Trial.

Court was called to order promptly
at o'clock, according to adjournment,
Judge Hart announcing that he would
return to Nashville on the evening
train and come out every morning,
and would request that every moment
possible be given to expediting the
trial of the case.
Arrangement was made with the
stenographer by counsel representing
both sides that the stenographic re-
port would be used by both sides.
Both sides promptly announced
ready for trial
Mr.. Hughes, counsel for the defense,
suggested that the large venire sum-
moned, some hundred or $50 names
be placed in hat and names be called
therefrom, that jurors might be
chosen from the county at large.
Attorney-General Garner preferred
that the usual number of AZ be put
in hat, and called therefrom.
Judge Anderson suggested that the
entire 300 names be put N hat, and
forty-two who were present be drawn,
and these called first.
That was agreed to and the clerk
was ordered to prepare the first panel.
Judge Hart instructed the Clerk to
enter fine of $25 against any juror
who failed to answer as his name was
called
Both sides, when the first panel of
AZ names had been called, requested
time to examine the panel.

MORNING SESSION.
Judge Hart Arrives Promptly, But Re-

The train bringing Judge Hart from
Nashville was strictly on time this
morning, and the Judge without the
loss of a seconds time and in the
most business-like manner raped for
order as soon as he reached the
Judges stand, and the forensic battle
between lawyers, the peers of any in
the State, was begun, wherein the
State is the plaintiff, and young Harry
CRANBERRY, the scion of one of the old
est families in Maury county, is the
defendant, on trial for his life, with
the ugly charge of murder recorded
against him.
The arrangement of the court room
has been changed, the Judges stand
being in the centre of the room, the
jury box being on the south side, and
the lawyers facing the Judge and
the jury.
