cepted as scientifically established.
There have been various notifications
Of Darwin's theory; for example. the
theory Of development through the use
and disuse Of parts Of the body (Which
Darwin adapted from Lammarck) has
been discredited by all but a very

"Oh, I wouldn't do that" began the man with the hoe, pacifieally. Don't rob yourself! You're used to them and I'm not, and you'd miss them like sixty 1! Why the place wouldn't seem natural to you if you didn't have all that, stuff decorating the premises! No, thanks, awfully, but you keep 'em yourself, old top"
 "I've got top," said the grimy boy instantly, producing it. I'll throw it at that cabbage. It's worn out and l don't want it anyhow. If throw it real hard maybe it'll bust leaf!'
 Here, here !" objected the. gardener. "Throw it in the other direction If you feel a throwing spell coming on! Just try the other way!"
 Not that way" said the small boy. '"That man over there said ned lick me if I throw anything more into his flower beds. Just you wait! When he goes away some day I'm going to throw everything in my yard right over into his, kerbang! Right into his old flower beds, you see !"
 Don't your father and mother teach you not to throw things and ruin other peoples property" demanded the man with the hoe a trifle nervously. Its wrongw
 "They don't care!" said the grimy boy, airily. "They like to have me throw things! They like to have me throw lots of things! Are you going to lick mel"
 T should say not, Alphonse!" fer vently declared the neighbor with the garden. Your loving parents would have the law on me for attending to their neglected job. How long are you going to live here, do you happen to know"
 I've just moved in," said the small boy, cheerfully. T guess we are go- ing to stay thousand years. My moth- CT she says everybody is such nice peo- pie around here!"
 That's just it" eagerly said the neighbor with the hoe. We are nice people and we are not happy when our yards are full of sticks. and papers and rubbish and that's why l want you to stop trying to share yours with me !! You'll keep all that stuff over on your side of the fence, won't you, son?"
 "I'm not your son." declared the grimy small boy in great surprise. T should think you'd know that! When I get the broom chopped up I'll thrrw them over and I'll throw a lot of things, tool"
 "Oh, by jing, by gar, by gosh !" cried the man, dropping his hoe and retreating hastily into his own house, "the only way for me to keep out of jail is to beat it while the beating's good. How I wish my name was He rod!'

Keeping The Peace

 seG BE here,% carefully began the
 equally immaculate back yard to the rather grimy small boy who had moved in next door.
 II wish you could see your way clear not to throw all these bottles and sticks and rubbish and all kinds of outlandish things over the fence into my yard!"
 "WhyY' demanded the grimy boy, with blunt interest, poking one bare toe through the pickets of the fence.
 Because have to pick them all up and either toss them back or else walk clear to the ash can down by the alley to get rid of them, that's why!"
 "Why do you want-a get rid of them| the small boy pursued the sub- ject with interest climbing up on the pickets.
 The man with the hoe paused in his work and surveyed his questioner, who stared back with clear eyes innocent of sarcasm. 4tI don't like their looks P he, said. q don't like to see things lying around that way!"
 ''They lie around my yard," said the small boy, argumentatively. 'They're around lots. My yard looks as good as your yard! My yard looks a million thousand times as good as your old yard !"
 q am glad you are satisfied" said the man with the hoe, trifle severely.
 "Only keep the truck out of this yard !"
 q don't know truck" said the grimy small boy. What is truck? I've got a hundred boxes I've chopped and three old brooms I'm, going to chop and some tin cans and bushels of bottles. Mebbe I'll throw 'em over in your old yard. I'll throw lem all over and then they'll be in your yard instead of mine."

Miss Williams Be- comes Bride Of NIT. Anderson

A wedding of wide social interest and the continuation of beautiful TO- nance which started when both were freshmen at Birmingham-Southern col lege, was that of Saturday evening last, when Miss Ruth Annette Williams, the lovely daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Thomas Williams of 1917 St. Charles street, became the bride of MT. Julian T. Anderson.
 The wedding, which was performed at the home of the brides parents by. Dean l.. M. Spivy of Birmingham Southern, was witnessed by few of their closest friends, the marriage com ing as a more or less surprise to most of their friends. In the home beau- tiful scheme of pink and white was car ried out, while an improvised altar of southern smilax, palms and ferns was banked at one end of the spacious down. stairs reception room.
 To the strains of Mendessohn's we'd ding march, played by Miss Marianne Lyles at the piano, Miss Nellie Henry, the brides only attendant, entered, wearing beautiful pink lace frock over a creme material, and carrying a large bouquet of pink and white asters, tied with brides ribbon. She was fol- lowed by the bride, who was lovely in a beaded frock of poudre blue geor- gette over white satin silk. She carried brides bouquet of butterfly roses and lilies of the valley, showered with dain- tiest of white chiffon, and was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mir. Henry Richard, where the simple yet beautiful and impressive ring ceremony was performed.
 Following the wedding an informal reception. was held in honor of the young couple, while pink and white ices and cakes were served by members of the brides sorority. Sunday after noon MT. and Mrs. Anderson left for Anniston, where they will make their home in the future; MT. Anderson be- ing connected with one of the large pipe foundries of that city.
 Mrs. Anderson, an honor graduate of Birmingham-Southern college with the class of '24, has lived with her pa rents in Birmingham since her early childhood. She is q young lady greatly loved and admired for her charming personality and Nbeautiful character, uhu SuG AS oAc VI lhC flty mOSI pop- ular young women. She is a member of the z. T. A. sorority, and she was always very prominent in col lege life at her alma mater.
 Mir. Anderson, the son of Mir. and Mrs. T. A. Anderson of Oxford, Ala, is also a popular alumnae of Birming- ham-Southern college, where he starred for several years in both football and baseball. Taking part in all college activities, MT. Anderson proved him self one of the most popular students and athletes that ever attended this col lege. He is a member of the A. T. O. fraternity. fl
 Among the out-of4town guests at the wedding were Mir. and Mrs. T. A. Anderson of Oxford, Ala, Miss Inez Patton of Atlanta and Miss Dorothy Davis of Hogansville, Ga.
 Although Mir. and. Mrs. Anderson VII be greatly missed by their host of friends in Birmingham, they carry with them the very best wishes of all who know them.

Answer:
 Try to be less maudingly senti- mental and use little common sense. You will certainly bore your husband to. extinction if you are always caressing him, and he will get so that he will oathe your kisses if you kiss him in season and out of season.
 Marriage isn't betting party. It is doing ones duty. It is being kind, and faithful, and true. And if a man gives that sort of mani- festation of his love he doesn't have to be kissing bug.
