ANECDOTE OF BRIDES FATHER
STILL TOLD AT BILTMORE.
All Souls Church, where the Van.
derbilt-Cecl wedding took place and
which was built by the bl ide's
father, is in the middle Of the
little English village Of Biltmore,
also built by the Vanderbilts, the
houses Of which are rented to
tourists. The late Mr.. Vanderbilt
was a vestryman Of the church
and used to take up the collection
every morning. He used also to
pay the salary of the pastor and
to maintain the choir. The music
was always lovely.
There Is also a chapel in Bit
more House, with a fine pipe organ.
Mr.. Vanderbilt used often to ar
range benefits for Asheville hos
pitfalls, importing orchestra or IA
nous organists from a distance to
provide the music. One particularly
memorable recital was given by the
Pittsburgh Symphony and Melted
over $1,000.
Indeed, it is hard to know what
the people of Asheville would do
without the Vanderbilt family. They
are always doing something to help
the community, are generous and
public spirited and are greatly be-
loved. For years Mrs. Vanderbilt
has been one of the judges at the
Asheville horse show, in which
Miss Vanderbilt has usually ridden;
and they have also helped the
county fair, contributing prizes as
we'll as making interesting entries.
The people of the community
love to talk about the late Mr.. Van
derbilt, who was an exceedingly
popular character. One story they
tell is of an agent or collector for
the estate who disappeared with
$4,000. Detectives were anxious
called them off, saying that the
man had several children and needed
money. He refused to have him
apprehended or prosecuted.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was a great
preserve on the estate. He was
a man of democratic tastes and
manners in spite of the feudal
magnificence in which he lived.
The tale is told of how he was
once joined by two unknown farmora
on horse back and spent the day
with them hunting outside of
Biltmore, sharing lunch and a
"tickler." When night came and
he returned home, his fellow hunters
were amazed when he stopped in
front of Biltmore gates and asked
them in to supper. "Who are
you?" they demanded, and were
so overcome with amazement wher
told that they dashed their hor> Pc
and galloped madly away, leaving
the amused millionaire with a good
story to tell on arrival at tho
castle"

of cattle should be taken. Cattlemen
who are forced to turn their cattle

Advice On How To
Head Off The Tick

The state etomologist at the Uni
versity at Laramie has given out the
following valuable suggestions re-
garding the deadly tick which is be-
ginning to collect its annual toll:
The fourth case of Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever in Wyoming this sea-
son recently reported from Sheridan,
bespeaks the necessity of taking pre-
cautions during the tick season to pre-
vent infection with this disease. AL
though only one tick in thousands
may be actually carrying the virus
which causes Spotted Fever in Wy
oming, and although the disease is in
a comparatively mild form in this
state, it is, nevertheless, folly to
needlessly expose ones self to tick
bites and possible infection. 1t is a
simple matter for the hiker to so
dress as to reduce the possibility of
tick bites to almost nothing. This is
done by taking advantage of the habit
of the tick to crawl upward until it
meets some obstruction.
The essential point in dressing to
prevent tick bites is to veal laced
breaches with puttees or high boots,
thus preventing entrance below the
waist line. Then if entrance is gained
above the belt at the waist line, the
clothing should be loose, especially at
the neck so that the tick will not be
impeded in his progress upward. AS
Mr.. Tick m out onto the hair on
the back of the neck. if the hair is
cut reasonably short, a tickling sem
sation will disclose his presence and
he may be removed. For the ladies',
this makes for another strong argu-
ment in favor of bodied hair, espe-
cially the shinglebob.
1t takes the tick from two to three
hours to saw his way through the
skin into the blood vessels. Infection
cannot be given until the blood is
reached. Thus it behooves you to
tick the tick before the tick ticks you.
