Boy Found a Diamond.

DeQueen, May s.-Mrs. E. c.
Enoch and her six-year-old son
Edgar, returned today from a visit
to Murfreesboro. Yesterday on the
United States mining property, near
Murfreesboro, little Edgar picked
up the second largest diamond that
has been found in the Pike county
field. The stone weighed 31a carats
and is valued at $500. Its discovery
created quite a furry at Murfrees-
boro and the owners of the mine
have promised to give the lucky
youngster a suitable reward.

of honorary commander and be-
slowed it for life upon Gen. Irvine
Walker, the retiring commander

ALL ABOUT THE MISTLEToE
Popular Christmas Plant Is Parasite
and In OTden Times Was Con-
sldered Sacred.

Although in the majority of Ameri-
can and English homes mistletoe is
displayed at Christmas time, it is re-
markable how little is known of this
curious plant Mistletoe is a para
site growth, appearing most frequent
~ on apple trees, although it is also
found Oh evergreens and On poplar,
hawthorn, pear and oak trees, but
very rarely on the last named. It is
an evergreen bush, about four feet
in length, thickly crowded with
branches and leaves. Unlike all 9TH
er plants, its leaves extend down as
well as up. The plant flowers every
year, but does not bear the little whit
ish berries until it is four years old.
The mistletoe proper is native of
Europe, especially of England aud
Normandy In olden times il was con-
sidered a sacred plant, because its
berries grow in clusters of three
emblematic of the Trinity The an
cient Celts used to hang sprigs OF
mistletoe around their necks as a
safeguard from witches. The maid
that was not caught and kissed under
the mistletoe at Christmas would not
be married within the year, so the
tradition goes. According to the old
rules the ceremony was not properly
performed unless berry was pulled
OF after each kiss and presented to
the maiden. When all the berries
were gone the privilege ceased

Give turned quickly as the old sta

eyes keen and troubled.

in the wind, deep dimples at the cor
ners Of her mouth, and the swift
flashing smile that eyes and mouth
and dimples joined In. Yet it had
been more than beauty that had held
him true through the years. There
had been look in her eyes, look
OF abiding faith and clean, straight
honor, that he had loved and trusted.
The memory Of that look had brought
him back over the sea, to find her
this Christmas and tell her that now
he could claim her.
Bob! Stolid, good old Bob. While
he had been playing globe trotteT,
trying to catch the flying heels of a
madcap, hayward fortune, Bob had
stayed quietly at home and won the
girl he loved.

battle with himself He would be

Love may always be right, but it
can be SO Influenced as to be seem
ingly a mistake. The marriage took
place and Fred Dillingham; was ostra-
cized. He was not kindly welcomed
in the other stratum. If there is a gulf
between the rich man and the work
ingman the latter resents intrusion
as much as the former. There was
love, but after a few months 1t was
influenced from both sides. Both hus-
band and wife were made to fear that
a grave mistake had been made. They
fought away the idea and sought to
hold their love, but that brought irri-
tations and vexations and eliminated
In misunderstanding and quarrels.
After two years there was a separa-
ton. Neither really desired 1t. 1t
was what the gossips had predicted,
and what they strove to bring about.
There was more sorrow than anger
when the young husband turned his
back on wife and infant year old
and went out into the world as a
wanderer The wife went back to
her fathers cottage, but not to strug'
gle Win poverty. Inc AusoaAu OCOA
generous to her.
Five long years, and Fred Dilling'
ham had not been heard Of. AS an
outlaw without a family, whom should
he write to and why? At three years
of age the child, who had been named
Patty. wondered in her childish way
why she hadn't a papa At five she
demanded to know. At six she stood
before the embarrassed mother in in
dignation and threatened to go out
and find one.
And at last the wanderer had re-
crossed the sea and headed for his
home. He was tired and weary and
lonely. Home? But he had none!
He had left it when he left wife and
baby. This struck him like sudden
blow. though he had all along realized
It in a general way. No home-no
wife-no child! That was why he
had left the train and taken lodgings.
He had no place to go. With money
in his pockets, he was tramp.
And to know that Christmas was at
hand. and to hear the jingle of sleigh
