In the case of my wedding. had al
ways had the picture of myself after
the very, very solemn ceremony, be-
ing taken in Dicks arms in kind of
fearful tableau after that picture
'At last we are alone" 8
1t was nothing of the kind. In the
first place, my wedding was not SOL
emn. Because of my early morning
taxi ride with Dick l slept late and
had to dress in an awful hurry. 1
took one look at myself after I was
ready and l never looked so ugly in
my life, but hurried to the church
and found Dick waiting.
Gracious, Madge," said he, that
organist has played %, Promise Me-
so many times that am ready to yell
at him Tll promise you anything if
you'll cut it out"
Then he rushed round to the YES
try door with his brother (who was
his best MANI to meet me at the
altar. ~.
The wedding march started, the
ushers and bridesmaids swung into
step when ! noticed that Angie May
woods dress was not buttoned up en-
tireIy in the back! Nothing could be
done, but all thought of anything
else slipped out of my mind.
Some way 1 got to the altar and
then had confused idea of answer

while 1 was thinking that the minis
ter's collar didn't fit!
AS Dick slipped on the ring his fin
gers trembled and he was as pale as l
felt.
only heard distinctly one sentence
of the whole service: with all my
worldly goods 1 thee endow," and
then my mind trailed off into specu-
lation as to whether Dick had any
goods.
He had fold me- he got a fine salary.

"AI over" whispered Dicks
brother, ready, wheel, march"
Great Scott, man, get into STEP,
was Johns next, agonized command.
Both of US tried to change our step at
once.
There you go dancing a schot-t
tische," said John as Dick clasped my
arm and held me moment while he
adjusted his step to mine.
AS we stood in the vestibule wait
ing for the motor to take US to Dicks
mothers, where the reception was to
be held, l heard Dick murmur to
himself.
"I'm glad this foolishness is over
never again big wedding for me-"
81 hope not, Dick, said demure-
ly, and then, for the first time in days,
we both laughed and began to think
that perhaps marriage was not 60
ing to be so terrible after all.
He whispered, never mind, my
girl, we'll be out of this in few
hours and then"
Hurry up, Dick" shouted John, as
he fairly pushed us into the waiting
motor.
If l ever have daughter shall
try to save her from big wedding.
The next two hours were torture. My
new white slippers were too tight. A
hairpin, which could not get at I'M

and had to be kissed and mauled by
about 800 women. 81
At last I got away and changed my

Wouldn't you hate to live in Eliza
beth?" said Myrtle, the telephone
girl, in a teasing strain. "They can't
serve free lunch in any of the saloons
of the city. Free lunch is outlaw"
Free lunch ought to be outlaw al
most anywhere under the Sure-Foo
and Drugs Act said Hank, the
hotel clerk. Think how many happy
homes are wrecked by free lunch,
with little or no insurance to cover
the total loss! Think how many
trustful young brides go and prepare
heavy, wholesome, delicious dinners
for their husbands, knowing that the
poor men should be tired and hungry
after the daily game of spearing dol
lars.
Yes, the young wife prepares a
tempting meal, with the aid of a
chafing dish, two eggs. piece of
buttered toast, a dish of pickles and
a poodle earned cook book. But when
the husband horns home to the fiat
and hangs up his newspaper and I'M
folds his walking stick does he show
an appetite like horse in a Panama
hat factory?
No. He eats as If he were a bird
acting under doctors orders to alb
stain from all fats, leans, starches,
meats, vegetables, fish, fruit and
hickory nuts. In other words, he
doesn't eat anything worth mention
ing, much less worth chewing. And
wife looks at the untouched meal and
goes away and cries her little eyes
out-or at least cries her eyebrows
out of gear.
What's the reason for hubble
scorning his wife's best effortsP Free
lunch, of course. He's been daIlying
IN some drum with a host of drink
ing companions.
And every time he hoisted a stein
ne made an improving wish that his
wife would learn how to cook. Then
he helped himself to a free corned
beef sandwich, cut as thin as a sheet

STONES
PRODUCTION SMALL
This Country's Output in 1912
Only $319,722-Sapphires
from Montana.

Gems and precious stones were pro-
duced in the United States in 1912 to
the value of $319,7 22, according to
Douglas B. sterrett, of the United
States geological survey. The kinds
of precious stones found in the United
States are many, ranging from dia-
monds of fine quality to low-grade
stones, such as agates, but, as is seen
from the total value of the output,
there. are no really large operations.
The principal gem mineral mined
in the United States during 1912 was
Montana sapphire, of which there was
large output for use both as gems
and in mechanical applications. The
greater part of the gem sapphires
came from the mines in Fergus
County, where they occur in rock
matrlx. The majority of these stones
have the true sapphire-blue color.
The bulk of the sapphire for mechani-.
cal use came from the placer deposits
in Granite and Deer Lodge counties,
and consists of varieolored stones.
The development of the opal de-
posits of Humboldt County, Nevada,
was attended with much success, and
a quantity of magnificent gem ma
terial was obtained. The opal is of
an unusual type, consisting of dark
translucent mineral with a variety of
rich colors. The deposits promise to
supply gem equal If not superior In
beauty to the opal from Australia.
Prospecting and mining at the en-
erald mine in North Carolina were
attended with only partial success.
Two pockets or deposits of emerald
were removed during the year; other
developments consisted mainly of ex-
ploratory work, which has continued
into 1913.
The tourmaline output of southern
California was small, but some mag
nificent specimen crystals were OBJ
tanned. Especially fine gem crystals
of kunzite were found and brought
good prices. The production of tur-
quoise was very small compared with
some Previous years. Beautiful am
ethyst was found in Warren County,
N. c., and some fine gems have been
cut from sample crystals. A few
fine specimens of golden beryl were
obtained from prospects in Alexander
County, N. c. Beautiful gems were
cut from some of these. The produc-
ton of agate and associated varieties
of chalcedony was again large in sew
eral Western States.
No great advances are reported in
diamond mining in Arkansas during
1912.
Several dozen diamonds were found
and several diamond washing plants
wore constructed for operation in
1913
1t has been practically. impossible
to determine the quantity and value
of the diamonds found in the Arkan-
sas field since the first discovery in
August, 1906. Most of the stones are
still held by the mining companies
and few have been sold. Tt is esti-
mated from the figures furnished the
and from reports in the press
and those furnished by private per-
sons that about 1,400 diamonds weigh
ing nearly $50 carats have been found
from August, 1906, through December,
1912 The total estimated value placed
on this output in. these reports
amounts to $12,10S.

Of the sirty American gentlemen
" in frosted wigs and silk stock
ings who sat in what is now indie
pendence Hall in Philadelphia and
composed the Continental Congress,
there was none more aristocratic by
birth, more democratic by nature,
than Thomas Jefferson. Perhaps that
was one reason they selected him to
pen the Declaration of Independence,
adopted on July 4, 1776, which re-
mains today Americas most sacred
historical document. He wa3 suffi-
GENTLY modest, however. to insist
that in writing the Declaration he
simply put down the ideas prevalent
at the time.
This Continental Congress was the
first body of men at that time sitting
in any of the parliaments of the
world. These statesmen had the
courage to break an old order, the
valor to maintain a new one and the
wisdom to fortify it with laws and

Inc occasion was during a QeDdle
upon the tariff bill which was before
the United States Senate in 1882. Sem
ator Sherman objected to a PROPOSE
ton that the stamp tax levied upon
playing cards should be retained. He
spoke of this proposition as smack
ing of denlogogy. He thought it alb
surd that all other stamp taxes were
to be eliminated by the bill excepting
the trifling stamp tax upon playing
cards. He said the total tax yielded
only about $1,000, and the proposition
to maintain it in the new bill was,
Senator Sherman thought, made
simply for the purpose of appealing
to an element which looked upon the
playing of cards as harmful even
sinful.
Behind the row of seats in which
the desk of Senator Sherman was
placed Senator Vance, of North Caro-
lima, had seated himself, if I recol-
lect correctly in the chair allotted
to Senator Henry L. Dawes, of Mas
sachusetts. As soon as Senator Sher-
man finished his brief remarks the
North Carolina senator arose. Every
senator who was in the chamber
seemed to be instantly conscious that
Senator Vance was to give full play
to his sense of humor, his capacity for
wit and kindly satirical comment
Sherman himself seemed to have that
understanding, for he wheeled around
in his chair so that he could look
easily at Senator Vance.
The North Carolina senator was as
interesting in personality as any man
who served in the United States Sen
ate while he was a member of that
body. He was of large figure and a
nobly-molded head was set firmly
upon his broad shoulders. His hair
seemed to be rebellious, for 1t would
not stay in place and it was album
dant. He wore a close-cropped gray
mustache. Astride his nose We're

tops of which he looked when speak

higher for talents, firmness and good

So when it came to a division be-

country these men chose wisely,
bravely and confidently. 1t was big

also. Hitherto the colonies had been
