had worn in the Court,
beautiful thing of gold
whereon were inscribed
his royal names and titles

his right hand on which was a signet Of
Pharaohs that he wore as his commission

who was more learned than the rest cried:
'By the gods! this is his Highness the
Prince of Egypt" at which words all of
them fell upon their faces.

at him, forgetting his pain in his wonder

Sir" sobbed the boy in bad Egyptian
"for two reasons. First, because | am a
cripple, see" and he held up his left arm
which was withered and thin as a num-
my's, "and therefore cannot work quickly.
Secondly, because my mother, whose only
child ] am, is a widow and lies sick in bed,
so that there are no women or children in
our home who can go out to gather straw
for me, as Pharaoh has commanded that
We should do. Therefore | must spend
many hours in searching for straw, since

to do this for me-"

and if his tale prove true, see that his
wants and those of his mother are relieved
before we depart from Goshen. Write
down also the names Of this overseer and
his fellows and command them to report
themselves at my camp tomorrow at sun
rise, when their case shall be considered
Say to the lad also that, being one afflicted
by the gods, Pharaoh frees him from the
making of bricks -and all other labor OF
the State"
Now while l did these things the over
seer and his companions beat their heads
upon the ground and prayed for mercy, be-
ing towards as the cruel always are. His
Highness answered them never a word, bit

What The Tribune knows of the
splendor and nobleness of this pioneer
citizen everyone who has lived here for
any reasonable lenght of time knows
thereof Her life career was one of
responsibility, helpfulness and devotion.
Nothing can be said in eulogy of the
pioneer mothers of America but what
may be rightly and justly applied to her
life. She met hardships and trials with
an undaunted spirit of perseverance.
While her home was her citadel and
those dearest to her received her first
consideration, to render cheer and aid
to others in distress was dominant in
her nature.
Deceased was united in marriage in
lS49 to Martin Mulharn who died about
So years ago. She is survived by one
son. ]. nj. Mulhairn, and two daughters,
Mrs. Maria Shaw and Mrs Annie Bohan,

ter, and four great grand children.

COMBINED POWER ENORMOUS.

AS all will remember, the govern
ment at one time cut the sugar allow
ance to two pounds month for each
person. This reduced the normal CON
sumption by half, the people having
averaged before the war about four
pounds each month. The money saved
by each person in this way seems too
small to be worth consideration, but il
the two pounds Of sugar every person
saved in one single month had been
brought together, the accumulation at
the market price would have reached
the astonishing value of between $780,
600, 900 and 1000, 900 for the entire
country The combined power Of small
individual efforts is enormous.

Third army headquarters. The Amer
lean authorities are continuing to
maintain an attitude of opposition TO
political moves of any kind. The Brit

Consummation Of Pretty
Mountain Romance

Perhaps the most notable wedding
ceremony ever pronounced in the
state of Tennessee was that which
at noon today joined in holy we'd
slock Sergt. Alvin c. York, the world
wars greatest hero, the superrnan
of the. Argonne and his mountain
sweetheart, 17-year- Oracle Will
liams, to whom he plighted his
troth while plain blacksmith of
Pail Mall, Fentress county, and be-
fore he went to France there to be-
come the greatest military hero OF
the present century. The wedding
of such couple can but be of wide
spread interest. but yet another
phase increases this interest, and
that is the nuptial knot was tied by
Gov. Roberts. This Is the second or
third time within the history of the
state that the chief executive has
been called upon to perform the
marriage ceremony: The first chief
executive ceremony was perfor led
by Gov. Robert L. Taylor. when he
pronounced the words that united
member of the state senate of 1889
to a charming widow of the capital
city.
The law authorizing the governor
and the speakers of the houses of
the general assembly was passed
March 81. 1889. and especially so
Gov. Taylor could perform this GER
emony.
The York ceremony was performed
at noon today at Pail Mall in the
presence of a large concourse of
mountain people, friends and neigh
bors of the contracting couple, and
a large number of visitors from
Nashville and other distant parts of
the state.

Paris, June 7.-President Wilson
today served notice on his colleagues
that the situation in Washington de-
manded his personal attention and
that he cannot listen to any further
wordy discussions on matters that
already have been fully covered He
urged that the Germans be given but
a brief period In which to give their
answer as to whether or not they
will sign the peace treaty as 1t has
been modified.
The final reports from all experts
were handed in to the big four today.
II was stated that complete agree
ment has been reached on the reply
to be made to the German counter
proposals except as to the length of
time to be granted the Germans in
which to sign. The president is urg-
ing that II the reply Is given the
Germans by next Tuesday. as now
seems possible, that final answer
be demanded by Friday.
In their reply to Germany It is now
certain that the allies will promise
her representation on the commission
of experts who are to determine the
reparations. Also the allies have de-
cided to grant Germany material con-
cessions in upper Silesia.
