Aunt Cassandra’s Fan.
By Habkiet Whitney Durbin.
Copyright, 1904, by Harris Whitney Durbin.
Sister Evelyn said she thought
it was very inconsiderate of me to
fall out with Joe the day before
her wedding, seeing we were to
be bridesmaid and groomsman—
Joe and I.
It was no very serious matter
we disagreed about. Indeed, the
primal cause thereof is somewhat
misty to me now. I can, however,
recall that Joe was on his “who.
but me” behavior for a consider
able time, and when I scorohingly
demanded who he was, anyway,
he beoame sarcastically humble
and said, “Oh, nobody. He was
a worm.” After which he grew
top-lofty again, and observed that,
at any rate, he was a self-respect
ing worm and wouldn’t be stamped
on.
“I wanted everyone to be
amiable on my wedding day,”
plainted Evelyn, “and if you and
Joe don’t stop spatting, you’ll
never be married yourselves.”
“Well, then,” I said, “the world
will have one quarrelsome couple
the less,” and I began to sing.
Yet in my heart I knew that I
was giving Evelyn a bluff, for I
was already repenting of my snip
piness, and my panoply of pride
would have gone all to tatters at
a soft word from Joe. He didn t
seem inclined to speak it, however,
and I was determined not to,make
my eyes red and my nose glossy
for Eve’s wedding, by weeping;
so I went around with a stiff
spine and my teeth tight together.
Evelyn was the first of us girls
to flit from the home nest, and
naturally we were all a bit exer
cised over the flight. lathers
jokes were supposed to be sponta
neous, as usual, but somehow the
stitehes showed; and mother, like

Kathleen Bawn, had “a smile on
her lip and a tear in her eye.”
But it took Aunt Cassandra to
turn good and sentimental. I am
her namesake, and I am senti
mental, too, tut I could not possi
bly sentimentalize about Uncle
Jason. Not that I mean to dis
parage him, for he is gone from
earth, and was a good man while
here; but he did have such a long
neck. And from the latest rec
ollection I had of him, there was
about as much romance in him as
in a barn door. Nevertheless,
Evelyn’s preparations reminded
Aunt Cassandra of the day before
her own wedding, and when I
wandered into her room, seeking
diversion, I found her holding
pensive communion with the souv
enirs in her middle bureau drawer.
That drawer, with its quaint
contents, was an object of immense
interest to me; it brought up slices
of a past before my entrance into
the world. There were, in its
depths, many odds and ends of
the pomps and vanities with which
Aunt Cassandra had adorned her
self in her youthful days. There
was a pair of balloon-like under
sleeves, fine and soft, with narrow
embroidered hands, all faintly yel
low and scented with some old
flower fragrance like musk rose
leaves; there was a string of coral
beads; there was a curious flat,
blackhead bracelet; an old lace
“bertha,” and there was a sacred
little black ease with a snap fas
tening, in which were two photo
graphs, one of Uncle Jason, and
one of Aunt Cassandra, taken
soon after their marriage. They
were of that old fashioned style
of which you see nothing at first
but a square of shiny glass, which
you have to tip about this way
and that, before you can distin
guish the photograph.
There were other objects of in
terest in that drawer, but chief of
all to me, was a yellowish white
fan of satin and ivory.
“I’m going to will you that
someday,” auntie said, seeing my
wistful gaze.
“I wish you would,” I replied,
“and in the meantime I wish you
would lend it to me for the pres
ent occasion. It will go so beau
tifully with that old yellow lace
mamma gave me.”
“Take it,” auntie said pensively,
“and now run away like a good
little girl—I am wandering in the
past today.”
I saw nothing of my recreant
Joe until the next day. He
came early and made himself use
ful. telephoning for things. I saw
him a few minutes; I had left
Auntie’s fan lying cn the back
parlor table, and when I ran down
for it, there was Mr. Joe idly
twiddling the fan in his fingers.
“I am sorry I have to trouble
you for my fan, Mr. Hailey,” I
said sedately. He handed it over
with a most stately, bow, and I
fled in confusion. When I had
got my bridesmaid toggery on, I
whirled open the marvelous bit of
carved ivory and old satin, and as
I did so, my eye alighted on two
lines faintly penciled on the soft,
creamy satin:
“Dear Cass—Will you forgive
me—say? For I’m your ever
faithful J.”
Ah, J., best beloved J.! It only
needed that scrap of apology to
send the penitent tears out of my
eyes. Down I flew, pell-mell,
and landed in J.’s arms at the
foot of the stairs.
“Oh, Joe—Joe!” I gurgled,- as
he caught me up so tight the end
of his necktie nearly went down
my throat. “I’ve been so hateful.
Of course we’ll forgive each other
and be friends once m-m-more,
won’t we? Here I crushed the
white carnation he wore in his
buttonhole, but he did not mind—
just kissed me quite recklessly,
until a door in the hall opened
and father’s head stuck out.
“I hear geese,” he announced,
whereupon one of the geese flew
upstairs.
All that I can tell about Eve
lyn’s wedding is that it was the
sweetest wedding that ever hap
pened, except one which followed
on its heels shortly after.
When I returned Aunt Cas
sandra’s fan I gave her two extra
hugs. “It’s a magic fan,” I said,
and kissed it.
“It is a magic fan,” she assented,
“and if it helped you make up
your tiff with Joseph it's the sec
ond time it’s been a peace-maker.
Oh, dear, how well I remember
my first quarrel with your Uncle
Jason before we were married! ’
Auntie hau a dreamie, far-in-the-
past expression on her good little
face, and I knew she was reveling
in her old romance. I shall always
maintain that Uncle Jason was an
exemplary man; but could anyone
for a moment compare him to Joe?
Why, who but Joe would ever
think of mending a misunder
standing by means of a beautiful
couplet on a fan ?—Connect Uncle
Jason with anything like that bit
of sentiment! I was waxing in
dignant at the idea when Aunt
Cassandra spoke again:
‘Do you see those two lines
about in the center of the fan,
Cassie, in pencil? Well, Jason
and I had not spoken for nearly a
week, though we were anxious to
make up our quarrel. One even
ing at a party I left my fan—this
SMELLS TO HEAVEN.
The aober-ilorris Race for the Blue
Ridge Bench.
Atlanta, May 4.—The bitter
ness which has grow n out of the Go-
ber-Morris fight in the Blue Ridge
circuit is causing the thoughtful
politicians of the state much
anxiety. The breach will not be
healed by the action of the state
democratic committee nor by the
democratic convention into which
the row will no doubt be taken.
It is said that Speaker Morris lias
already taken steps to biing his
case to the attention of the dele
gate* to the convention. It is re
ported he has many affidavits of
persons who voted for him in dis
tricts where he received practically
nothing in the returns, and in one
district where he was put down as
having'received but six votes he
is said to have affidavits of more
than 50 men who swear they voted
for him.
Judge Gober charges that he
was defrauded in just as wholesale
a manner.
A gentleman who has just re
turned from the Blue Ridge cir
cuit said to the Savannah Press
correspondent today that the out
side world could form no adequate
conception of the feeling among
the people.
A big peach grower from that
section was in Atlanta a day or
two ago.
“How’s peaches?” he was asked.
“Killed; most of ’em killed.”
“Too bad, too’bad. Makes you
pretty blue, doesn’t it?”
“Oh, h—1, no; I don’t give a
d—n. Killed Gober’s, too, I’d
cheerfully lose my whole crop to
see his go.”
The Gober-Morris fight will cut
HIGHLY ENDORSED.

one—lying upon a table. I saw
Jason fooling with it, but I didn’t
notice what he was doing. After
a while, when I got possession of
it again, I saw those lines: ‘Dear
Cass, will you forgive me—say?’
Why, what’s the matter, Cassie?
You look as if you were p<ing to
explode.”
For a moment I thought I was;
then I almost shrieked, then I al
most wept/ but what I did do
finally, was to tumbl# back on the
bed and laugh. And therein I
considered that I showed wisdom,
for after all, were not Joe and I
just as firmly relinked by Uncle
Jason’s muse as we could have
been by Joe’s?
“I’m a bit lightheaded, that’s
all,” I said as I got up and kissed
aunty, “Uncle Jason was a real
poet, and a dear besides.”

United States senator.
At the big barbecue at Lindale
last - summer Speaker Morris
announced that he was for Gover
nor Terrell for United States sen
ator. Governor Terrell and Sen-
tor Steve Clay were both present.
Senator Bacon’s time will expire
about the time Governor Terrell
finishes his next term. Senator
Clay is said to have made common
cause with Senator Bacon. Clay
spent a week in Cobb county' dur
ing the recent campaign, working
for Gober, and his influence spread
all over the circuit. I he line-up,
therefore, so far as it applies to
the politicians named, seems to be
Clay-Bacon Gober on the one side
and Terrell-Morris on the other.
Governor Terrell has kept out of
the fight so far as is known, but
it is understood that he can expect
no help from Clay while Morris is
outspoken for Terrell.
This Blue Ridge circuit row
may not stop with the state con
vention. Itmay goon to the legis
lature. As a political stench it
smells to heaven. In view of the
fact that a Democratic primary-
lias all the practical effect of a
regular election, it remains to be
seen whether the legislature will
allow to pass unnoticed such
charges as have been made in a
matter involving the speaker of
the house of representatives and a
judge of the superior court.
There is another point. If the
Democrtaic executive committee
decides in favor of Gober the Mor
ris adherents will raise a row and
if Morris wins the Goberites will
howl, and a serious split in the
party is threatened. If the com
mittee declares the whole thing off
and allows both men to run in the
regular election it will amount to
abdication and an admission that
the party is helpless in the mat
ter.
The indications are that the
hearing before the committee will
be sensational in the extreme.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

'they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-

It used to be considered that only urinary
