TOLD HIS LOVE ON SIGHT
Met Miss Cheatham at Reunion in
Memphis.

Chicago, Aug. 16,-"If you meet 8
girl, look into her eyes and decide thai
you love her, tell her SO that minute.
Don't wait for her to say yes or no.
Take it for granted that she is yours.
Commence Immediately to act like
she were your property.
All women like to feel as if they be-
longed to a man.
The girl will soon commence to
take your viewpoint Of the affair.
1t ought not to take any man more
than thirty minutes to win wife.
If the young woman's relatives OBJ
ject, just ignore them. F"
The views of Brig. Gen. Thomas S.
Hutchinson, of Tennessee, put into prac-
tice, won for him bride, and the cou-
pie are spending the honeymoon in
Chicago. They were married here Sat
urday. The bride, who is daughter
of the late Col. Davis w. Cheatham, of
GAINESVILLE, Tex, announced the happy
event to-day.
TOOK THIRTY MINUTES.
Gen. Hutchinson is president of big
construction firm of Nashville, member
of the civil service commission of that
city, chairman of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee and several other semi
official bodies. During the Spanish
American war he was colonel of the
Second Tennessee Volunteers. He is
said to be several times millionaire.
1t was this way" said the general
u attended the Confederate Reunion at
Memphis in June. was on Gov. Pat
terson's staff and my wife was maid Of
honor from Texas.
The Governor presented me to Miss
Cheatham a few minutes after her ar
rival in Memphis. l looked into her
eyes and saw that | loved her. | pushed
her out of the crowd, told her that l
loved her and asked her to be my wife.
l didn't wait for her answer took it
for granted that it was yes. The whole
transaction didn t take more than thirty
minutes. When we rejoined Miss
Cheatham's friends I acted as if l own
ed her.
HE WHO HEsITATES LOSES.
Every man could win wife if he
followed my example. The man who
hesitates in warfare or business is lost.
Why should he take months in winning
a wife. Thirty minutes is long enough.
After / had decided that Miss Cheat
ham was to be my wife l went immedi-
ately and told her mother Mrs. Cheat
ham was greatly surprised, but | soon
convinced her that | meant business.
She finally said something about the
taking place in October / just
ignored such talk. Mrs. Cheatham and
Louise returned to GAINESVILLE, Tex. I
took the next train. Never let the wo-
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-08-20

man of your choice get out of your
sight Keep right after her all the
time.
Then Gen. Hutchinson told of his stay
in GAINESVILLE.
I haunted the Cheatham home, " he
said. 1 walked around like | owned
the place. Mrs Cheatham was ada
mant, however, and would not consent
to our marriage until October Finally
the mother and Louise left for Chicago.
To be sure | followed, and by taking
ing another line greeted them on their
arrival here.
HAPPIEsT WOMAN.
By this time Louise wanted to get
married right away, but her mother held
out. Louise told me her guardian, M.
L. Sims, was in Denver. l went to that
city and invited him to see Louise and
myself married. He accepted. took
the next train for Chicago, and told
Mrs Cheatham that Mr.. Sims would
attend the wedding Of her daughter and
myself on Saturday. Then she threw
up both hands and quit.
My advice to all young men is that
when you want girl just go and take
her. Any man would race his neck off
to secure million dollars in a few days
why not wife? A good wife is worth
more than millions.
Gen. Hutchinson is 80 years old. His
bride, who is beautiful, cannot be much
more than twenty.
Say that | believe all the general
says, and I'm the happiest woman in
world, " was her parting word to a cor
respondent.
