Address THOS. E. WATSON, Thomson, Ga. HOW SHE GOT HIM. Some one was urging a newly mar ried woman to tell how in the world she ever managed to get a proposal out of the man she married, as he was known to be about the shyest man in ten states where women were concerned. Finally, she made what she said was a confession: “He didn’t propose to me,” she said, “I proposed to him. It was this way. You know he was a very close friend of my husband. One day, after I had been a widow about a year, he call ed on me. I was greatly surprised, because I knew he was more afraid of women than of the wrath to come. He stammered a bit, and finally told me he had been trying to call ever since the death of my husband, be cause he wanted to ask a favor. “I used to think a great deal of John,” he said. “I want you to give me some little momento of him—- something he left —that I may cher ish as a keepsake.” “It was my chance. ‘How will I do!’ I asked scarcely above a whis per, but he heard it Os course he couldn’t help himself; he had to take me.” This provoked another story of a proposal. A wealthy fanner, a wid ower, wanted a housekeeper. He had no thought of marrying again, but he knew that a neighbor, a widow, had made a success of a small chicken farm, and he thought she was just WATSON’S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. the right woman to keep house for him. He called on her. She met him at the door. He stated his business bluntly: “I want to hire you for my housekeeper, madame,” he said. With her arms akimbo, and looking him squarely in the face, she made answer: “I’ll keep no man’s house except as his wife. Besides that, where I go, my chickens go.” This pleased the blunt old farmer. “I love you, madame,” he quickly re joined. “I also love your chickens. Will you be my wife?” “I will,” was the reply. Forthwith the farmer loaded the chickens on his wagon, and drove to the preach er’s house. The chickens waited while the ceremony was performed, and then the whole outfit went on to the farmer’s home. —Woman’s Na tional Daily. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS. How strange that every Republi can corporation daily in the north west should rejoice in the nomina tion of John Sharp Williams to be the Democratic United States Sena tor from Mississippi! John Sharpe defeated Governor Vardaman, a man for the people, by the small margin of 648 votes. John Sharp Williams was the Democratic corporation lead er of the Lower House, hence the lovely affinity between all such Re publican organs as the Kansas City Star and Journal, and John Sharp. —Smith County Messenger, Smith Center, Kansas.
