this city; John Hilbrich of Schererville
and Mrs. w. A. Jordan of this city.
Mrs. Jordan is more enthusiastic than
her husband was upon returning from
a visit TO the Panhandle last summer
Mr.. Sheffield May Move Away.
Mr.. Sheffield has about made up his
mind to take his family to the dis
trict and Mr.. Hilbrich of Schererville
intends to buy a big farm for stock
raising purposes. All believe it to be
the promised land.
They brought samples of farm prod
uets with them, having selected such
as were found in an average crop.
In the lot that they brought were
kaffir corn, maize. Jerusalem and In
dian corn. milIet, potatoes. onions and
apples. Some of these were said to be
only poor specimens, but even If they
were they would have been a big
credit to some of the crops of Lake
county.
Water Is Perfect.
Among the other things that the Wis
itors brought along was a bottle of
water as it is found in the town of Del
hart. The city is provided with mu-
nicipal pumping station and provides
what is known as sheath water. from
melted snow which is clarified by seep-
ing through the earth.
The sample that visitors brought
along was as pure as though it had
been filtered, and was as soft as rain
; water.
Judge Jordan still holds an option on
big hotel proposition which is now
under construction. but even should
he decide to drop it he feels positive
that there remain plenty of other op-
portunities in Deihart.
Hundreds of visitors come to Delhart
weekly, and while not all buy and in
vest, all are full of the highest praise
for the agricultural paradise it pre-.
sents.

MISSING WEDDING RING.

The curious incident at the we'd
ding of Earl Poulett and Miss
Storey of the ring falling on the
ground and being for some time the
subject of fruitless search suggests
the query as to what would have &C.
Cured if the missing ring had not
been found. In such case any ring
sent temporarily for the purpose
would have been an effective substi-
tute, and another wedding ring
could afterward have been procured.
In one distinguished and historic
English family, the same ring has
been used for several generations at
the marriage of its members, for
which subsequently ordinary we'd
ding rings are substituted.-West-

A TOUCH OF |
NATURE
By WI. F. BROWN

Hardly had he lifted his face
from the cool spring, when Lieut.
Herbert Craddock was seized from
behind by two union soldiers. The
game was up-yet he trusted his
unshaven face, torn and dirty cloth
ing and general woe-begone appear
ance to conceal the fact that he was
a confederate officer, the bearer of
an important dispatch.
When he faced the keen-eyed and
soldierly federal captain he saw at
once that it would be useless to de-
ny being soldier, and so, in answer
to the question: ''Who are you?" he
replied simply:
'Lieut. Craddock of the confeder-
ate service"

and in disguise?"

swered, slowly, "and escaped. l was
making for Gen. Lees lines when
your soldiers captured me. The
briars had literally torn my uniform
70 shreds, and yesterday exchanged
its remnants for these planters
clothes"
This tale was true enough as far
as it went, but it made no visible
impression on the stern-faced in
quisitor.
Search him !" he ordered, sharp
ly.
The two troopers obeyed. Finally
the taller of the two looked up and
in a disappointed tone reported:
"There isn't thing on him, sir"
The faint ghost of a smile of
amusement stole over the face of the
confederate. The next instant he
cursed himself for his folly, for the
sharp eyes of the captain interpret
ed the look Alright, and he sternly
exclaimed:
SEARCH him again to the very
skin-rip open his clothes from head
to foot"
This time the investigation was
so thorough that when the shorter
trooper with his saber pried the

first Christmas gift to a sad and
weary world. No wonder that
Heavens ioy-bells rang! N o
wonder that the gates of Paradise
seemed to open while angels look
ed down upon the scene.
In that hour was born the spirit
of cheer, peace on earth, and good
will toward men which has never
died out during all the centuries
which have passed. There have
been times when its splendor has
seemed dimmed, and when men
appeared to forget the sen timents
of that first Christmas message,
but on Christmas day itself, few
there are who do not count it a
privilege to journey in Imagination
with the wise men of the east, to
that humble cradle in the Manager
which the Christ-child made holy
with its presence.

BRADLEY-HARRIS

McCrory was the scene of a
pretty event in the marriage of
Mrs. Dora Harris and MIR. W. W.
Bradley, Wednesday evening, Dee.
16, 1908, Ed. J. B. Wise, Pastor
of the Baptist church, of Augusta,
officiating.
The church was deliberately dec
GRATED in autumn draperies. The
organ and chancel were completely
hidden in potted plants and beauti-
full decorations. The large pieces
Of holly and mistletoe formed a
lovely background for the artistic
display of white wedding bells
swinging to streamers of white
ribbon together with the arch IN
der which stood the contracting
parties, presented a scene that was
beautiful in the extreme.
Promptly at $3.50 O'Clock the
bridal party entered to the strains
of Wagner's Bridal Chorus which
was rendered by Mrs. Henry S.
Taylor. First came the ushers,
G. B. Cook and j. T. Atkinson,
followed by the bride and groom.
T h e bride was beautifully
gowned in a directoire of toque
gray messaline satin and carried a
bouquet of carnations and fern
leaves.
A reception was held at the
BRIDES residence Immediately fol-
lowing the wedding. The home
was artistically decorated with a
wealth of greenery. The guests
were limited to relatives and sew
eral near friends.

Nothing" answered Craddock.
What was there to say? He knew
that the scrap of paper in the cap

surely as he stood there. 1t was
military law, and memorable as fate.
Alone in an old log hut, with a

morning he was to die. He stared

many battlefelds for that. He had

against him. Well, he would pay

man.
But it was not of himself he was

FIRST GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT.

"He gave His only begotten
son."
The world stands upon the
threshold of that season of the
year when the thought of chrisen-
dom instinctively turns to the
most gladstone day IN the annals
of recorded time-the birthday of
the Saviour of the World.
We may not be able without
finite understandings to compre-
bend the heighth and depth of
the great plan which came forth
from the mind of the Infinite and
which comprehended the redemp-
ton of the entire human race, but
we find in the Inspired Word this
passage of unmistakable import:
"For God so loved the world,
that He gave his only begotten
son, that whosoever believeth on
Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life
In those words we find an cpl
tome of the Divine plan. The
motive and the reason are both
set forth, and while we may mar
vel over what was comprehended
IN that plan, we accept it as great
truth and know that the emerging
of the world from darkness into
light dates from the hour when
the Star of Bethlehem flashed
across the Judean sky.
Jesus Christ was therefore Gods

would never see it again?
He savagely gripped the rough
slabs nailed across his narrow win.
dow, as the song suddenly ended in
a long, high-pitched, quivering cry
that changed to a shout, and then,
running along the fringe of pines
like an irregular rifle volley, burst
into a cheer that echoed again and
again along the quiet valley.

thought Craddock, mournfulIy.
"Poor old Dixie-she has not many
left to fight her battles"
Listening to the growing tumult,
he presently saw the figure of man
dash out from the shadow of the
pines and come racing down the
slope toward the hut. AS he tore
along, the incessant cheering behind
him, like huge wave, seemed to
bear him onward. He reached the
sentry, flung two words at him over
his shoulder, and dashed on without
pause. The wondering prisoner
saw the sentry stare, and then with
a wild yell throw up his rifle and
fire it in the air.
The door of the hut was flung
violently open, and the breathless
runner, a fair-haired lieutenant, al
most a boy, stood facing Graddock
in the little room.
"Capt. Freeman's compliment"
he painted, "and he wishes to say
that we are about to have supper,
and he would feel honored if you
would join us. 1t is poor fare, but
you will be heartily welcome"
The confederate officer looked into
the messengers boyish, excited face,
astounded.
"Your captain is very kind" he
answered, wondering. ''But is it not
an unusual proceeding to ask a pris-
oner to dine with his captors? 1t
is very chivalrous, doubtless, but it
is scarcely war"
WAR;" he lad echoed. Then his
voice choked, and he grasped Grad
docks hand and wrung it till the
sinewy arm ached. "War!" he re-
peated, his voice ringing high and
shrill, "there is no more war; Gen.
Lee surrendered at Appomattox this
lnorning-the war is over.'

Thread the double or endless rubber
band through these holes and secure
1t by a bit of match stick slipped into
the loop at each end on the outside of
the she'll. The rubber band must be
just long enough to be adjusted in
this way, with little stretching.
Now insert the hooked loop of the
hairpin under this tight elastic band
inside of the nut shell, slip the whole
apparatus down the candle until the
point of the shell is an inch or two
below the wick, and twist the rubber
band, to tighten 1t, by turning the
match sticks in opposite directions.
If you do all these things properly
the nut shell will be horizontal, or
nearly so, and its sharp point will be
driven into the candle by the tension
of the stretched and twisted rubber
band. OF course you must use a per-
feet shell with an unbroken point.
Now your little automatic extin-
guisher is perfectly balanced. The
elastic band would make 1t fly up,
turning on the hook as on a pivot, If
1t were not held in place by the point
driven into the hard wax, or paraffin,
or tallow. Now light the candle.
AS it burns down and the flame
approaches the shell the wax which
holds the point softens, and when the
top of the candle is about level with
the shell the wax has become too soft
to hold it, and suddenly 1t flies over
and is clapped down on the top of the
wick, extinguishing the flame as
shown in the right-hand picture.
You see what a simple and practi-
cal little device this Is. 1t will re-
quire a little patience to get 1t to
work just right, for the size of the
hairpin, the way 1t is bent, the size
of the shell and the tension OF the
band have to suit each other.
You can put the extinguisher as far
below the wick as you choose. The
lower you place it the longer the can
die VIII burn before being so unceri-
moniously snuffed out by itself, so to
speak.
