ALTOGETHER TOO SHY.
aSaerr Eue Qlrtl by Pretty Girl
(or Whom the Urldfiroum Walled
Lun( In Vain.
Mary i'liska. shy as a chamois,
dunned her wedding dress at her
home in New Britain, Conn., the oth
er evening and made all preparations
to accompany her parents to the Cozy
little home that Michael Neidboli r
had prepared for her and there to be
married to him.
Michael and his friends were wait
ing. It was to be an eventful mar
riage, for Mary was pretty and
Michael was popular. When the hi
and her parents were not on hand at
the appointed moment, the prdspec
tive bridegroom was made the obji d
of jests. He laughed with the jesters.
AND THERE HE FOUND MARY,
(Connecticut Girl Who Was Too Shy tu Lt
Married.)
When five minutes had passed the
Jests became more pointed and the
shafts of witticism sank deeper, but
still Michael laughed. When ten in in
utes had passed, and then IS minutes
and then half an hour, Michael was
decidedly uneasy.
Then a messenger handed a note to
Michael. He suddenly left, without
giving an excuse, and went direei ' to
the home of I'apa and Mamma Pliskn.
They were in a state of great excite
ment. They could not find Mary! She
had robed herself in her wedding
gown with her mother's assistance,
and then, when her mother left to
put on her hat, Mary mysteriously
disappeared.
Michael thought deeply. At last he
asked the parents if they had gone
to the home of a chum of Mary. They
had not. But they were sure she had
not gone there. Nevertheless. Michael
got into a carriage and drove rapidly
to the home of Mary's chum.
And there he found Mary all
dressed in her bridal robes, with a
bunch of real orange blossoms in her
hair, crying her pretty eyea out.
Michael asked her why she had noi
j come to the house. She cried !n an
swer. He aakcC her again; and then
amid her sobs, ahe told him she had
feared to face the crowd that would
witness the ceremony.
Michael left without a word. He
drove back to his cottage, told the
guests what had happened and thai
the wedding waa off. Some of t hem
auggested that he take the priest u
the home of Mary's chum and be mar
ried there. But Michael told them h
did not care to marry a girl who had
insulted him before his friends.
And the marriage ceremony hn;
never been performed.

There is nothing about the dairy
barn that requires so much care and
Ingenuity ns the construction of cow
stalls. Contemplating the wisdom oi
i.n invention that would give not only
perfect comfort to dairy animals, but
i. .-ure perfect cleanliness, I construct
ed one that has proved to lie u grand
SUCCeBS, after a test 01 seen yeuis
Since my stall appeared thousands ol
dairymen have placed them iii theii

In ruining the whole plan. The plat
form is made of inch oak doubled
with broken joints and a two-inch fall
at ditch. This platform may be msd
of cement instead of plank or boards
The ditch should be made watertight

able quantity of absorbents ar used
n ditch 16 inches wide, 9 inches deet
at plstform and 7 inches at walk has
given us the grestest satisfaction.
We i. nd that a plattorm 6 feet f
inches from ditch to the piece acroei
the front of the stall is just right foi
a cow weighing 1,000 pounds. Foi
shorter cows decrease the length, the
ides being to fence the cow nsck tc
the ditch so that all her voidings will
fall Into the latter, which insures a clean

The opening of the manger at U.

The partitions do not follow through
past the five-foot post to the slanting

Although now orer 1" years old her
face, according to a Charlotte (N. C.)
correspondent of the Chtcago Chron

enthralled the then awkward, diffldenl
young military cadet from Lexington
when he tirst met her as Anna Mor
rison at the home of (Jen. David Hill.
Her black, luxuriant hair has few
tract's of graj and her biacg ajres are
piercing and lustrous still.
Since the death of Mrs. Jackson'sl
only child. Mrs. Christian, several'

her grandchildren, who reside with
her. Her home is a plain two-story
building on Trade street, Charlotte,

however, a picturesque charm is lt i ti
