The marriage of Miss Emily Sofnerville
brated yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Ma
thaniel Hawkins in Mountain Terrace. Mr..
James A. VanHoose was the officiant, and
the marital ceremony was made especial
ly impressive and solemn because of his
affection for the charming little bride
who Is a connection of his family.
Shasta daisies and ferns were banked
about the mantel in the living room to
make a background most effective for the
bridal party. This included a coterie of
the brides girl friends, Mr.. Wits only
attendant being his best man, Mr.. Hal
stead Caldwell.
Miss Elizabeth Going and Miss Gamaliel
Dixon, leading the party to the altar de-
scended the stairs followed by Miss Kath-
leen VanHoose and Miss Fredrika Fergu-
son, and the final couple included Miss
Lillian Orr and Miss Helen Rosa R.a-
dolph, who stood at either newell post
while their predecessors advanced to the
altar in the living room. Their flowers
were large clusters of Shasta daisies, and
their costumes as grlsh and becoming as
one could desire, were made of white lace
lingerie and completed with pink sashes.
Mrs. Dora Somerville Aldridge, the
brides sister, came from Greenwood,
Miss to be her matron of honor. She
was a graceful and lovely member of the
party in her pink voile gown and picture
hat crowned with pink roses. Her flowers
were roses
Miss Somerville was given in marriage
by her cousin, DR.. James McLester She
has always a picturesque sort of charm,
and yesterday in her white embroidered
crepe gown, with wedding veil caught in

to the hem of the train, she was extremely
pretty. Her flowers were lilies of the
valley and roses.
After the vows wedding breakfast was
served, and Mr.. and Mrs. Witt left for
Chicago and the lakes to spend several
weeks. They will make their home with
Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins.
Both have a large number of friends.

wing, Tahan is a typical Indian of the
best class-educated. an ordained Presby-

man.
Tahan's life reads like yellow backr
novel-and it's worth going miles to hear
him tell of the many ha1rbreadth es-
capes he's had on the trail, and the
many close calls he's had during his
life on the plains
Tahan has two hobbies, "The Society

a fallacy. The best Indian is a live In

he isn't treated with much consideration

dians is fighting for the Indian with all
its might. All we ask is that the Indian
be given chance. That's what he needs.
The Indian needs enfranchisement and
needs it badly. The Indian has never
had a chance to adjust himself to prog
ress. Some of the younger Indians are
now receiving an education that will
enable them to go back to the reserva-
tions and fight for justice for the older
Indians. The Indian wants the vote.
Many Indians are paying taxes without
! being allowed to vote. Taxation without
representation is one of the wrongs they
are suffering from.

w. LOVE'LETTR ?ssggM
VICTOR HUGO AND ADELE TOUGHER

Victor Hugo was as emotional a lover
as he was a novelist. He was married
at the age of 20 to Adele Foucher, the
daughter of an old friend of the Huge
family They had been brought up as
children together, but when the work OF
Cupid became manifest Victor changed
in his manner. He was silent and i'll at
ease. Adele was curious and insistent
at this change. Determined to end it.
she remarked one evening: II am sorry
you are keeping secret from me-"
Surprised, Victor could only nod an
answer But of your secrets is there
not one greater than all?" persisted the
girl. Again he nodded and Adele con-
tinued: 81, too, have many secrets, and
one of them is greater than all. You
tell me yours and I'll tell you mine."
MY great secret" replied Victor. "is
that 1 love you And my great secret
is that l love you,'' said Adele.
On account of their youth they were
compelled to wait but Adele told him
of the wonderful confidence She had in
his sincerity and in his ability to accom-
plish great things. With what assurance
Hugo wrote her: II am happier, dear
love, to work for dozen nights in sue
cession than to spend one hour In sos
liciting aid from others. How proud I
shall be when 1 can offer you something
due solely to my own exertions-when
am able to say: No one but myself has
contributed to the welfare of Adele. +"
From the pretty way in which this
strong, pure, tender passion began ii
seems pity that it did not continue to
the end. There entered into the life of
the great writer another who was to
share that love with Madame Hugo, If
not to entirely monopolize it. Her name
was Julette Drouet. She was the daugh-
ter of provincial tailor, but was noted
for her beauty. For nearly 30 years after
their meeting it was Hugo's habit to
write to the lady every day, and though
most of the communications were only

aware of the affair between her hus-
band and Ju1iette Drouet, but she did not
mind, but agreed that men of genius were
by virtue of their genius entitled to have
more sweethearts than one
Juiette was an actress and, as il
seems a mediocre one at that. Hugo
finally became tired of her and attached
his affections to one of her maids, Blanche
by name. There was certain Claire
also, whose identity has never been
clearly revealed, but she was young, and
Hugo, who was now 49, told her that she
was pretty and promised to write verses
to her. But once she confided to him:
L am afraid | am doing wrong in seeing
you like this, unknown to my family; but
come to you as to my beloved poet
in whom I have as much faith as in
God. whatever people may say. If you
love me ever so little you will not take

whose only fault is in loving you too
much-that Is, according to what people
say. For you know that one can never
love you too much, and in my case it can
never be wrong to do So"
But Juliette caught him keeping an ap-
pointment with Claire and she reproached
him bitterly and talked of suicide writ
ing: "Oh, how ! wish to diel How
weary I am of this love, so painfully and
fruitlessly laborious! Oh. how 1 long
for eternal rest. My Godl have pity ON
me. Let those live who find happiness in
this life, and take me, who am suffer-

When Madame Hugo died the poet
brought Juliette to his house to occupy
her place, and their salon was the moss
ostentatious of all the literary salons in
Paris. Juliette died before Hugo and all
his friends were at her funeral. On that
occasion Jules Clarette wrote in lie
