THE HAPPY SMILE.

''Well. what do you think Of a street
car company that viii give its patrons
three rides and two walks all for a
nickel?"
He was the kind who carries sun
shine wherever he goes, and he beamed
amiably from under his umbrella at
crowd of disgruntled passengers
waiting in the rain.
The company was fixing the track.
and the passengers had changed cars
twice and were waiting for one Of the
forlorn little "dinkies" that was to
make the last lap Of the journey into
the city.
Here comes the limitedr' shouted
the man with the happy smile as the

Everybody smiled.
Only one disgusted woman. whose
hat was being ruined by the rain.
snapped out, "Ain't some people the
born foolsg" But the passengers
looked at the Jolly man. whose very
presence radiated geniality, and were
comforted
You know hlm-the man with the
happy smile.
Everybody knows him.
As he comes swinging down the
street there is a nimbus Of sunshine
about him. He distributes sunbeams.
And behind him he leaves a trail OF
brightness.
The man with a happy smile is a
magician.
People get a glimpse at HIS hearty.
jolly face and merry, boyish smile and
the muscles Of their faces instantly
relax. Before they know it they are
smiling his smile after him. And the
ripples Of gladness go out from him
as do the ripples Of a pond when
stone is dropped into its sluggish wa
| ters.
The man with the happy smile may
have his troubles.
He has them.
But he has learned to keep them to
himself. so as not to make others un-
happy. He just crowds his griefs into
the back part Of his head. where they
can't do much damage, and puts on a
smiling front.
On his face is written as If II were
on a signboard, where all can see, the
message "Cheer upi'
And that beautiful smile OF his.
starting somewhere down in his dia-
phragm. works itself upward to his
chin and to the wrinkles about his
mouth and then upward to the wrin-
kles about his eyes.

near Professor Suhrie's. Mr.. McCand
less met me with his car and took me tc
the old Folsome home, a little out OF
town, where they are spending few
weeks. and he and Mrs. McCandless
made every moment OF my short stay in
Morristown pleasant. We visited his
spacious, well-furnished law offices, went
to the large red brick church. Of whose
Sunday school Mr.. McCandless has been
superintendent for ten years; we saw
their beautiful town house. and about
every other point of interest the town
contains, and enjoyed the fine view for
several miles on their splendid pike. The
way our friend slowed down in passing
teams, or stopped his auto if some old
country-bred mule got on tare. wasn't
exactly like they do it in some towns we
know of. Such consideration didn't al
ways improve the manners Of the mule
but it showed the big-hearted kindness
of the autoist and soothed the ruffled
temper Of the owner Of the mule, thus
improving a none too kindly sentiment
toward the auto.
On the way from Morristown to John
son City, sixty-tive miles mountainward,
we passed the scene Of the Mohawk
wreck, from which the brave engineer,
and perhaps his fireman, started on their
last long journey. Everybody crowded
to the windows as our train crept at
snail's pace along the embankment down
which the derailed train had plunged;
but they were burning the debris. and
the hot flames crept up the embank-
ment and licked hungrily at our car,
blowing their scorching breath in Our
faces, so that we were glad to get safely
away. Some friends journeying with
me were among the fortunate ones who.
having taken the wild plunge from the
track, escaped with slight injuries and
were able to help rescue the eight in
jured trainmen.
Arriving at Johnson City after night

FINLEY TUCKER
HAS A CLOSE CALL
Finance, I'll, Dependent and Jealous
Fires Five Times at Close Range

II, Finley Tucker, the well-known in.
surance specialist of tl,iscity was shot at
five times at an early hour last Monday
evening But one Of the shots wounded,
and that a sea- p wound n the forehead
The shots were fired from 4 ,2-caliber
pistol in the hands of his atfinced
bride, Miss Tia Bond. a young lady born
and reared in this city, highly accom-
plished, and against whose name not
one word of reproach can be uttered
and whose motive for the rash act could
only have had origin in a temporarily
disordered brain.
The affair. owing to the prominence
and high standing of the parties in.
volved, is the sensation of the year in
Palatka.
The story Of the affair is follows;
About $50 in the evening Miss Bond
called at Mr.. fuckers home and asked
him if he would accompany here to See a
washerwoman Mr.. Tucker readily
consented and they set out on the err
rand. After starting and when Mr.
Tucker learned that the errand was to
take them to remote part of the city,
he suggested that it was hardly proper
for the young lady to 60 tothatpart OF the
city at night. and stated that if she
would wait till morning he would drive
her out
BY this time the couple had reached
point on Seventh street along side the
old Raabe residence, and here they
stopped and were discussing the matter
Of going further The young lady
dropped the small bundle she had been
and as Mr.. Tucker stopped to
pick it up she shot at him, This shot is
the one that hit him in the forehead and
made the only wound Then two more
shots were fired, then brief interval.

gle is evident by the tracks in the soil

near edge of sidewalk Mr. Tucker wa
evidently attempting to get away wher
the last two shots were fired
Those living in the vicinity state that
after the shooting the young lady va,
seen to pas, rapidly down Oak street
while Mr.. Tucker, calling for help. hac
gotten to the north side of Oak street
near Seventh.
Here he wa, found in a bleeding con
dtion and taken to Dr. Welch's office
and where it was learned that the wound
was but slight Two other bullets had
pierced his coat and one had struck a
button and been detected
Mr., Tucker has positively refused to
name his asSailant, but the facts have
leaked out, and the entire public is il,
possession of them.
The young lady is the eldest daughter
Of the late S. E, Bond, both parents are
dead. She is highly accomplished, es-
pecially in music. but is of Respondent
nature and of easily aroused nervous
temperament
These young people have long been
betrothed. but the wedding had been
put off for various reasons satisfactory
to those Interested
1t has been said that owing to the des-
pondent, nervous condition of the young
lady, a condition she would be the last
to understand, that Mr. Tucker had not
been as attentive TO her for the past few
months as he had formerly been. This
he admits may possibly be true. though
his affection for her was as strong and
sincere as ever,
This respondent view Of a real or
imaginary neglect could form the only
possible motive for the girls rash act.
Miss Bonds friends have sent her to
relatives in south Florida.
The case is particularly sad one.
The young lady is one and the oldest Of
three orphaned children, and kept
house for the others. In her trouble
she has not lacked for friends.

of mean act. and his chief concern is
