"Why aro you looking at me like
that?" Mrs. Homebody inquired Of her
husband, according to the Brooklyn
Times.
what have YOU been doing to your
hair? It looks different said Mr..
Homebody, who had just come in.
His wife put down the book she had

Mr.. Homebody extricated himself by
saying 1t 'looked NICE and let it &c

A week later Mrs. Homebody went
to the hairdressers and when that
deft person had finished with her she
regarded herself in the mirror with
iustlnable satisfaction. That evening,
at dinner, although the soft glow OF
the shaded light pleasantly enhanced

How $50 Italian infantrymen were
lnvalided by freezing their feet in mid
summer was told by passenger arriv-
ing at New York on the French liner
La Touraine.
The men were members Of a batta-
lion Of Alpine infantry, and had gone
to point far above the snow line in
an attempt to surprise an Austrian
force that in no other manner could be
ousted from its position. They had
been carefully drilled in walking on all
fours and acting the parts of goats and
sheep.
Two days after leaving camp rem
nants Of the command began TO return.
They failed In their undertaking be-
cause OF a terrific storm and because
sharp pieces OF ice tore their flannel
leggings and exposed their feet.

Eve proteotion at Movies.

Physicians are constantly advising
patrons Of the movies to protect their
eyes. A writer in the Journal Of the
American Medical Association tells
how it may be done.
1.-THE progress made in the charac-
ier Of subjects presented in the movies
today makes it desirable for all inqulr-
Ing people to at least attend OCCASION
nlly," he says. Annoying after-ef-
rects on the eyes of many prevent
them from enjoying the social diver
sion, and often the educational advan-
tages, thus derived. The great major
lty Of those who suffer from eve strain
after watching moving pictures can
lind much, if not complete, relief In
perfectly fitted glasses. The picture
may not be quite so sharp, but this Is
more than compensated for by the In
creased comfort.
For those with very sensitive eyes
coIored glass, either amber, yellow
lsh green or amethyst may be neces-
sary to give complete relief. There
have been put on the market recently
several varieties Of colored glass, each
IF which has some advantages, so that
some suitable color can usually be Sc
cured. A subdued light in the thea

the only light visible comes from the

REAL LIFE ROMANCE
PRANK OF FATE THAT RESULTED
IN HAPPY MARRIAGE.
She Was the "other Girl" and He the
Only "cood LOCKER" in the Re1-
snent Which Was Embarklng
for War.

The scene Of the first chapter of this
romance is laid in city on the west
srn coast, a seaport from whose har-
Dor there sailed during the year of the
Spanish-American war many trans
ports carrying to the Philippines
troops of gay and gallant soldiers,
most politely generous with their brass
buttons.
On one Of these occasions two young
girls, thirsting for adventure, Jared
forth, armed with kodak. Snap
shots were taken of the soldiers march
ing down one of the principal streets
from the train to the wharf, but a sad
melancholy settled down upon the pair
when they were forced to admit that
these men were, Oh so ordinary look
ing, not nearly so handsome as some
Of the regiments had been.
However, to vary the dull monotony
which the whole episode was gradual
ly assuming, they amused themselves
while the men were boarding the ship
In endeayoring to pick out the really
good-looking one. And they did-one,
and one only. But he, being by that
time on the upper deck, was quite un-
attainable, so all the joy that could
be extracted from an afternoon which
had given such promise was the pleas
ure of waving good-by 70 him. al the
ship sailed away.
But what was their surprise when
the snapshots of the marching soldiers
were printed to discover that their
''good-looking man" appeared in one of
them. The pictures were soon pasted
into a book and the incident apparent
ly closed.
The scene of the second and closing
chapter is now shifted to a town about
ten years later.
One Of the two girls was living in
this town. She was schoolteacher.
AT social gathering she met young
man who afterward called on her.
In the course of conversation she
gave the name Of her former home,
and the young man remarked that he
had been in that city just twice, once
when he embarked with his regiment
bound for the Philippines and once
when he was on his way back after
the war.
OF course, the old book Of kodak
views was promptly unearthed, and the
girl was not little surprised when he
greeted the picture of ''the good-look-
ing man." with the rapturous an
nouncement that it was his old COM
rade, Jack -, who resided In that
very town, but was at that time away
on his vacation.
When he returned he would bring
him around, If he might, to see the
pictures in which he was able to dis
tinguish many of his former friends.
Jack came, he saw, he conquered, with
the usual happy ending. I am and
was the other girl.-Chicago Tribune

A man carrying q little valise, or a

A man can't afford marriage on S12

try it with him.
When two men light 70 finish, and
both are badly punished, their quarrel
is usually settled for good.

q girl to do the cooking, and he doesn't
fare as well as he did when they were

Last Tuesday was indeed grea-

that day she had the rare opportunity
t. see the members of her great fam

Lexington county and practically
every member was present The da%
was almost perfect for such an occa-
sion and every one had jolly good
time.
About 9 O'Clock members Of the
family began to gather around the
old Homestead from nearly every par;
Of Lexington county and many part1
of Newberry county. In addition TO
the family relations Rev, J. J. Long,
pastor of the aged mother, and his
little son: also Mr. W. S. Lominick OF
Newberry and Mrs. Mary Wessinger
another aged mother OF Lexington,
were present as visitors to this
great reunion.
Oar grandmother If permitted by
kind providence to see her next birth

the wife OF Daniel Shealy, who being
a member of that valiant numbe~
that served in the war Between the
States answered his last roll call six
years ago having joined his comrades

her grandchildren she has fifty-seven
in number living and three dead. AS
her great grandchildren, she has
1O6 living and II dead. The entire

What marked the occasion most
strikingly was the opportunity for ali
members to again dine together. The

of those good dinners prepared by
the good ladies of the family, TIE

Rev. Long made a short address
lust before dinner which was another
great feature of the occasion. In his
address Pastor Long stated that NJ
I.oped kind providence would perml-
this aged mother to celebrate ne,
Tooth birthday.
After a day Of pleasant converse
tions the members of the family de
parted to their houses, only hoping
that they may again have the privi-
lege to celebrate tere again at a
later date.
