HUTCHISON of Tennexsee, recently wedded, tells how the romance began and ended and 3v"K?a"J peppers the narrative with i' Si S is iJ sage advice for hcstitatlng wooers. "It was this way," said the general. "I attended the confederate reunion lri Mem phis In June. I was on Governor' Patter son's Btaff and my wifo was maid of honor from Texas. The governor presented me to Miss Louise Cheatham a few minutes after her arrival in Memphis. "I looked Into her eyes and saw that I loved her. I pushed her out of the crowd, told her that 1 loved her and asked her to be my wife. I didn't wait for her answer. I took it for granted It was 'yes.' The whole transaction did not take more than thirty minutes. When we rejoined Miss Cheatham's friends I acted as if I owned her. "Every man could win a wife If he fol lows my example. The man who hesitates In warfare or business Is lost. Why should he take month In winning a wife? Thirty minutes it long enough. "After I had decided that Miss Cheatham was to be my wife, I went immediately and told her mother. Mrs. Cheatham was greatly surprised, but I soon convinced her that I meant business. She finally said something; about the werirtinir taklnir place In October. 1 Just Ignored !uch talk. Mrs. Cheatham and Louise returned to darks vllle. Tex. I took the next train. "I haunted the Cheatham home," he paid. "I walked around like I owned the place. Mrs. Cheatham was adamant, however, and wouldn't hear of a wedding until Oc'ober. Finally the mother and Limine left for Chicago. I followed und by tsklnr another line greeted !hem on their arrival her.-. Ry this time Louise wanted to cet mBi-ried rl-rht away, hut still her mo'hcr held out. Louise to'd me her -rosidan. M L. Sims, was In Isenver. I went to that city and Invited him to see Louise and my self married. He accepted. "I took the next train for Chicago and told Mrs. Cheatham thot Mr. Sims would attend the wedding of her daughter and myself. She then threw up both hands and QUlt. "My advice to all young men Is that when they want a girl Just go and take her. If business principles were appikd to love there would be more happy miir rldtres. A good wife is worth more than minions. Any man would race his neck off to secure S1.000.0U9 in a few days why not a wife?" General Hutchison Is 32 years old. ills bride, who Is beautiful, cannot be much moro than 20. "Say that I believe all the general says and am the happiest woman In the world," was her patting word to a correspondent. $ Widow Captures Messenger. William T. Foley, aged 21, and until a year ago employed as a messenger boy at tho Kvansville. Ind., telegraph office, and Mrs. Louise V. Relu. aged W. and one of the most prominent women socially In Kvansville, were quietly married at Mount Carmel, III., August 12. according to a statement Issued by Foley. Mrs. Reltx is the widow of the late John A. Keltx, one of the wealthiest sawmill owners of Evansville. who left a larna estate. She had often been In Foley's com pany for the last year, and their nianian had been expected. Under the provision of her late husband's will the ii llz homestead on Riverside ave nue, one of the finest homes In Evansville, reverts to her children because of her second tnairiatie. One of Mis. ReliL's daughters recently married Fred Hays of Sullian, Ind., a member of the Hoard of Trustees of the boulhern Indiana Insane Hospital. Her other daughters have been active In sicial circles, and several yeaia ao one was voted by a nm.ai.iu' lo be I u most beautiful woman in Indlauu. Freut-a Weddings. On , the appointed evening. says a w i iter in Scribiier's Magazine, 1 airhed ut the given time, and ufter an excellent dinner, at which all meir.uers of bah families were pit-sent, we repaired to the gnat drawing room, where tne cnaiis had been arranged In a semicircle about two small tables. Presently two grave old gentlemen, the family notaries, who had not been seen to smile during the whole dinner, took their Beats in front of the tables, and when we were all assembled the elder commenced to read a long ivcnioire, which he anncntneed he had compiled wllh tiie help of his colleague. Then, to my utter amazement, ho began to name all the possession of the future bride and croom: So many bonds and mortgages, so many houses, farms, wood lands, prairies, artiiira of personal adorn ment, furniture and Jewels; the ways In which .they mlRht be used or disposed of; what would happen In ease no children were born of the marriage; In case of death of one or the other of the parties. In fact, all the misfortunes, all the most terrible and saddest events had been fore seen, and cold chills began running down my bock ns 1 heard each new cam' men tioned. I was indignant! Positively re volted. Why "were miserable questions of business allowed to foreshadow ths charm ing union of these two young people, who had known mid loved earh other since childhood, and whose true and pure af fection was Innocent o" all monetary Inter ests? Could hot all this have been spured them? The next day I frankly opened my heart to Jeanne and her m..ther. explaining tl sensations I had experienced the previous evening, and saying that in my country, when two persons were about to marry, as long as there was love on both aides and the man was iible to support his wife, nil suih questions weie usually left undis cussed. They both listened to me somewhat as tonished, aid then Madame de R , whoso great x -d sense has always convinced me, replied smilingly: , "i,ut. my ilear. for us marriage Is not only the Joining of two young and loving hearts. We go further and consider tha generat ons lo come, the founding of a new family a home. As every one knows tho f.ist y-ears are often the most difficult, and we therefore take precautions to smooth the paths of our children, by set tling, in their pretence, all business mat tius e,ni-e and forever, and ananglng things so that the new life may develop under the bc-st of cii cumstances."
