Bridegroom Sleeps Through Ceremony

Pierre.-It is a little out of the or
binary for a bridegroom to sleep peace
fully during the entire time Of his
wedding ceremony, but such an Incl
dent occurred at Pierre. 1t was a
mock wedding, with about 100 chill
dren enacting the roles of bridal cou-
pie, attendants and guests. The s.
year-old boy im~personating the bride
groom fell sound asleep and the g.
year-old bride did all of the honors
single handed. When the guests"
had departed and the bachelor
friends failed to arouse the bride
groom by a few sly pokes, the child
bride rushed onto the stage in her
floating veil and dragged off her
spouse to the accompaniment of shouts
from the audience.

WAS LOVING THE SPARE ROOM
Baby Remarks Led Mother to Fix Up
the Rest OF the House for
the Family.

A mother was often puzzled by the
request of her little daughter to be al
lowed to go up to the spare bedroom"
and stay a few whiles." as she child
ishly phrased it. The tiny four-yesr-
old was the youngest in a crowded
household of children and grown peo-
pie, and the press of daily work left
little time for esthetic culture. Only
in one spot had the mother spent time
ment, and that was because the guest
room was so little used that it seemed
best to bestow the one or two nice
things there to save them from rough
usage. 1t was a dainty green and
white room. and, like Runyan's Cham
Der OF Peace, it looked toward the sun
rising.
One morning, in the midst Of the
rush and scramble to "straighten out
things" it occurred to her to follow
the little one, and see what she might
be doing. She peeped in at the door
and paused in wonder. There on the
floor in a square of softened sunshine
lay the missing baby, a look of SUI
preme content OF her chubby face. all
the irritation and crossness of the
morning gone entirely out of it.
What are you doing here?" the
mother had it on her tongue to say,
but stopped and only looked the ques-
ton.
"Ps just loving this lovely room!"
said the child, smiling her answer. 1T
feels nice, muvver."
That mother pondered the matter
for a day or two and then threw open
the guest room for general family
using. whenever guests were not in it.
Moreover. she began to brighten the
rest Of the house with little beauty
touches.-Mother's Magazine.

One of the most frequent demands
made upon architects and builders is
Tor a house of moderate cost, yet one
that will satisfy persons Of taste and
refinement and come up to what they
feel a home ought to be. With the
advancing scale Of prices both fer
building materials of all kinds and for
the skilled labor required to fashion
them into a permanent residence, the
problem of satisfying this demand
seems to become more and more diff
tcult Of solution.
The writer has given a great deal

to the conclusion that the way out lies

In the MAKING Of Mirrors.

A chemical action of the ultravio-
let rays, applicable to the making OF
mirrors, was recently demonstrated
at the French Academy Of Sciences.
This action consists in decomposing
gaseous metallic compounds and pre-
cipitating the metal in finely divided
particles on glass to form a rejecting
surface. BY this method 1t is possible
to produce mirrors backed by a re-
rejecting layers of zinc, anthony and
other nonprecious metals. 1t is said
that the result compares favorably
with the silvered mirror.-Popular

WHISTLES ANNOUNCE
CLOSING OF SPAN
OF the A& w. Bridge After
49, Months of
|. Hard Work.

A short time after two O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon the center span
OF the N. d w. bridge which CROSS
Cd the Ohio river at this place. was
swung In to place and riveted and
the new bridge was completed. At
the conclusion of this work which
has consumed two years or more, It
was announced by the blowing of
whistles and ringing of b, lis.
The American Bridge Company
constructed the bridge which has
been a tremendous engineering feat.
The connection of the center span
was attended by great danger and
there was much fear felt that before
1t was achieved, there would be
some addition to the list of fatal
ties which have occurred since the
work first began. Fortunately there
was not and there was relief as we'll
as Joy felt by the people when it
became known that the task was
safely finished.
The old bridge was TOO light for
the growing traffic of the n. q w.,
which each month carries north " ard
An increased tonnage of West Vir-
GINA coal. The heavy engines in
use on this read could only creep
across the bridge there being a ten
mile running limit in effect. The
new bridge will bear a burden many
tons in excess of the heaviest of
trains and there Is no limit to the
speed with which 1t may be crossed.
While the connection was being
made 1t was necessary to suspend
traffic. For period of ten hours
or thereabou,s no trains were cpe-.
ated between Kenova and the north.

About three months ago Rife
was indicted by q Cabell county
grand jury for passing number of
worthless checks while on visit in
Huntington where he was student
at Marshall college for a number of
years. For the past year he had been
on his uppers, having run through q
legacy his shares from a valuable
estate left by his father, and acquir-
ed through the sale of coal under q
large Raleigh county farm. He
had been living for some months on
loans from friends his debts of this
character running into many hun
dreds of dollars.
When arrested last fall for pass
ing bad checks, $500 bond for his
release until the trial of his case,
was furnished by Mr.. Prince, who
came to bis aid once more. His
trial was to have taken place last
week before ths Cabel county cir
cult court and he left Beckley osten-
sibly to appear for his trial. Word
from Huntington, however, is to tho
effect saast' his bond was forfeited.
Winton Rife was the possessor
of a brilliant mind and a wonder
full memory. lie had been a
student all his life, but the moral
stamina for work was lacking. lie
probably never earned dollar i'm
his life, though he was about twenty
seven years of age.
In appearance, he was little
above medium height, rather heavily
built, careless as to dress, and both
feet we're slightly deformed, the
ankles bending far inward, and
