Miss Lizz'e Bwaier and Harry
Bangler, her accepted suitor, quar
reled at a party held at a r.eigbbor's
house, nmr Mont'oae. S! 'rt'.v be
lore midnight they re'urn' d to their
homflH. They were accompanied by
the Rev. W Hunter. Tha party
had occasion to pass through afield.
Here they were puisued byNa furious
bull aod all three took to a tree.
Mies Swanger 'climbed one tree and
Bmglerand the minister the ad
joining two. The infuriated bull
ran around and around the tree,
bellowing and throwing the earth
in the air. Tho trio remained up
the trees neatly an hour and no re-
liet came. The bull still stood
guard.
Thinking thia an excellent time
to reconcile the couple the minister
began. His work was done, bow
ever, almost before he had begun.
The couple desired to be married
then and there, thinking they were
about to meet a tragio death, and
the minister married them. Ben
gler bad a license in bis pocket for
several weeks. The lovers could
just join hands from where they
clung, and when they got a grip
they held it, while Mr. Hunter
performed the ceremony.
When tho good man had con
eluded Farmer Stone and bis two
boys drove up with a load of ice.
An explanation wsh hastily spoken
and the bull was driven away, the
preacher kipsed the bride and re
ceived bis fee, and the party were
driven to the residence of Mr. Bang

Our I's are just as strong at

But we have less and less cause
to praise ourselves, since others
do the prfusing, and we are
more than willing for you to Bee
us through other eyes. This
is how we look to S. F. Boyce,
wholesale and retail druggist,

quarter of a century vi obser

"I have sold Ayer'B Sarsnpa
rilla for more than as years,
both at wholcsula and retail,
ami have never heard anything
but words of praise from my
customers; not a single com
plaint has ever reached me. I
believe Ayer's Sarsaparilla to
be the best blood purifier, that
has been introduced to the gen

man who has sold thousands of
dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
is strong testimony. But it
only echoes popular sentiment
tha world over, '"which has,
"Nothing but words of praise
for Ayer'a Sarsaparilla."

people to listen to the advice of their
betters. He was sure that his sine
on earth were all due to the bad
booki he was in the habit of read,
ing. He advised all young men to
abstain frcm bad books. AWauder,
the younger brother, did not speak
as be agreed that his brother was to
talk for both. The black ops were
adjusted, and at 211 the lever wan
sprung by Sheriff Broutsard. Theie
were only fifteen witnesses to the
execntion. The necks of both young
men were broken and they died in
stantly. The crime for which the Blancs
were banged was tho murder of
Martin Begnaud, on April 22, 1S00,
at Scott, a small station on the
Southern Pacific Railway, about live
miles from Lafayette. The boys
were working on a farm and bad
often be.n befriended by Begnaud.
A fe weeks prior to the killing,
they read a life of Jesse James, and
resolyed to become outlaws. One
fatal night tbey found tbe old man
alone in his store, aud at the point
of a pistol he was bound aud
gagged. They secured $3,300 from
his safe, and then killed their vhtiin
by stabbing him 51 times. They
buried the money on the farm whero
they worked, and in a few weeks
left for New Orleans, without being
suspected of tbe murder. Several
innocent people were arrested on
suspicion and two men narrowly
escaped lynching. Tbe boys went
to France and finally from there to
California. There spending all
their money, they drifted back to
Lafayette. Something aroused 8us
picion and against them and they
were arrested and confessed to the
murder.

A school teacher has turned up in
Ohio who was evidently construoted
without a sou'. Here ia the tvi.
dence. He was a bashful youug
man, only twenty, and was teaching
a country sobool. He bad among
his scholars a bevy of farmers'
daughters, who hoped that their
charms might make some impression
upon the bashful young pedagogue.
Finding that there was no respon
sive chord in his callous heart they
waylaid him one day and held him
until each one in turn had kissed
him. The booby, when released,
fled panistricken and left the
neighborhood for good.
Of course he ia no good aud the
patrona of the sohool do well to be
rid of his services. Had he been so
overoome by the lavish diepjnsation
of rural sweetness that it would
bays been impossible for him to
proved with his daily duties without
Srat taking a vacation for the pur
pose of recuperation, it . would not
have been strange; but a fellow who
would run off from such a punish
ment has no more idea of what
constitutes superlative bliss than a
east iron monkey. For such a man
we bave not sufficient respect to
print his name. Knoxvillo Jour,
