CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-"When
you find the girl you want. take
her. Don't waste any time. Tell
her you love her right away. And
then get her. l won my bride In
Just 80 minutes"
This is the philosophy of 32-
year-old Gen. Thos. s. Hutchin-
son of Tennessee, by CAD sub. as
gallant and impetuous a lover as
he showed himself soldier in the
Spanish war. And here's what
this Hero did:
He went to the confederate
veterans reunion at Memphis in
June.
At the grand ball there he saw
a beautiful Texas girl, Miss Louise
Cheatham. He got one look into
her eyes. Then he hunted up
Gov. Pattison-he serves on the
governors staff, but that isn't
low he got his title-and de-
handed an introduction.
He got it-glad to meet you
,harmed-you know.
Exactly 80 minutes later-just
long enough to get Miss Cheat
nam out of the crowd of admir-
ng young men-he had pro-
Iosed.
And Miss Cheatham-who is
,irl after Gen. Hutchinson's heart
had accepted.
Followed two months of trips
to Texas, to Memphis again.
md to Chicago, convincing Miss
Jheatham's relatives that they
ought to have him in their
'amily.
Then they were married, and
are now on their honeymoon at
the Auditorium annex, Chicago,
where he told the story.
And both are very happy.
The bride is the daughter of
the late Col. Daniel w. Cheatham,
a noted confederate soldier of
Clarksville, Tex.
The general is several times a
and had a splendid
Spanish war record.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 26.-Res-
cuers today are making frantic
efforts to release 80 miners who
are imprisoned 1900 feet below
the surface in the Lapez mine at
Mateahaula.
According to .today's advices,
15 men were instantly killed at
the bottom of the shaft yesterday
when the cable to the cage broke.
and it descended upon the miner
at the bottom of the mine, crush
ing them into an unacceptable
mass.
When the. cable broke 80 men
were in the cage, and they were
dashed 1900 feet below on the
heads of those who were crushed.
While 1t is certain that several of
the men who were in the cage
were killed, the rescuers are
working in the hope that some of
them may have escaped death.
The cage is pinned in by tons
of wreckage, and 1t is not be-
lieved that the imprisoned men
can be reached before night,
That some of the men are still
alive is attested by the fact that
the groans of the injured can be
distinctly heard by the rescuers.

At each persons place lay small

on the menu, then fish knives nd

the table; hot or cold plates, with the
necessary servers at the other end,
where the dish of meat or fish would
be placed
If porridge be served it is best TO
bring it in in soup plates direct from
the kitchen. Have the bread, butter,
rack of toast jam, and cruets, all with
in easy reach, and If you are lucky
enough to possess a spirit kettle and
hot-water dish so much the better, FOR
the great secret of a good breakfast
is to have everything hot.
In the summer time fruit and cold
meats are often preferred, then see to
it that the former is prettily garntshed
with leaves and the latter with parsley.
Luncheon, which also serves as the
children's dinner rarely consists of
more than three courses, soup, fish, and
sweets, or joint, sweets, and cheese,
being most usual.
