FLORAL WEDDING,
lf tell the girls about wedding
that came Off this week, they will all be
dissatisfied II they can't have one just
like 1t. But they will BIO sure to find
fault now If they don't hear about it, so
here goes. Tho times are not good, and
money is not easy, but there was q pet
daughter to be married, and it was for
once III lifetime, so no expense was
spared. On the return of the bridal
party from the church, they found the
sidewalk, steps and hallway strewcd
with flowers, lilies Of the valley, in the
height Of their season just now, roses
and azalias, trodden under foot to the
door of the drawing room. There the
marvel began. The girl had always
been passionately fond of flowers, and
they surrounded her in lavishness on
this the happiest day of her life. The
back drawing room where the bride and
groom received the congratulations OF
their friends, was great bower of foil
age and blossoms, nearly MS high rs the
room, and large as an ordinary parlor
itself, where n bell of bridal flowers
loaded the air with odors. The very
doors when open ed waited sweetness
into the street, the house was so full OF
flowers, tea roses, jasmine and baskets
of violets hidden in corners. The bride
was dressed in silk, trimmed with flow
ers, wreath of orange buds and half
opened blossoms falling in long spray
on her shoulders !; n slender Gordon of
pearly buds festooned to the wrist, and
caught to the cuff of the same flowers
that finished the lace of her sleeve. The
bride had elegant presents in plenty,
but the cost of the flowers alone at her
wedding would be marriage portion
for most of the girls who read this.

A Reverend Defaulter and FOrger.

In the early part of last week the
startling news was sent over the
wires that Rev. Il. d. Winslow,
formerly publisher of the Boston
Nens and more recently principal
business manager of the Boston
Post Printing Company, had left for
parts unknown, and that facts hour
ly coming to light showed that he
was not only a defaulter, but had
committed forgeries to a large
amount. He victimized banks and
friends to the amount of over'$4OO,.
600, mostly by means of forged EN-.
dorsements. For several days de-
'ectives were actively engaged in
endeavoring to ascertain Winslow's
whereabouts. 1t is now known that
he left New York last Friday morn
ing on the steamship "Kotterdam"
for Holland, accompanied by his
wife and family. As there is no ex-
tradition treaty existing between
the United States and Holland,
Winslow is safe so long as he re-
mains in that Country. AS the YES
sci sails under the Dutch flag, he
cannot he arrested on board the
ship, even if she touches at some
friendly port.
The New York World punches
the reverend runaway forger with
it's sharpest pen in this way: "Wins.
low, the Massachusetts forger and
Tartutle, it appears, has sailed, guild
ed by the light of careful study of
our extradition treaties, to the
shores of Holland. Perhaps he
will take up his residence at Ley
den, where in 1917 Edward Wins
low, the founder of his name and
planter of his blood in America, for
some time dwelt as a parislIioner of
John Robinson. The Winslows
came over in the Mayfower, and it
is an appalling thought that if the
WinslOw who has betaken himself,
like his progenitor, though for quite
other reasdns,to Holland, had chanc.
ed to be in New York at the last
New England dinner, he would
probably have been heard from in
praise of the rugged virtues, the
harsh integrity and the indomitable
love of liberty which came with the
Pilgrims to America. The love of
liberty, at least, as Winslow's credi.
tors will doubtless admit, still burns
in his own PeckSniffian BOSOM"

days since at a public table, against
the law of Vermont, as deprivine
men of their natural rights to buy
and sell and get gain; and turning
to his neighbor, asked him if he did
not think it high handed oppression.
The gentleman replied, "Sir, call it
oppression if you please, | will state
one fact well known to myself. A
tax bill was recently brought me on
my city property, of $500, for which
l gave my check. l carefully look
ed into the subject, and found that
$3.50 of it was for the support OF
drunkenness. Now what is that but
oppression But l suppose l have
no rights. Rumsellers have all.
They may tax me, to support crimi-
nails and paupers they may take,
$3.50, and | must be still" "Sir,"
