Justice Peak was slightly bothered
yesterday. A young couple entered his
Office and the man stated that they
wished the knot matrimonial tied.
The magistrate cleared his throat and
proceeded to do the job In u lirst.class
manner. He told them TO stand up
In front OF him, which they did,
each holding up their right hands.
Justice 7. corrected them, tell
ing them TO join said hands, which
was done. He then went on with the
ceremony, the groom giving IA willing
affirmative to the questions asked.
When the questions were propoundsd
to the bride she blushed, hung her
head, and was silent. He again asked
the questions, aud the bridge was still
silent. The worthy magistrate became
confused and alarmed. This hitch In
the ceremony was something new TO
him, and he was fearful that there
would be failure OF the marriage.
The groom at last came TO the rescue
Of his bride by explaining that she
was German; did not understand u
single worn OF Engl,sh. A messenger
was Immediately dispatched to beer
cellar near by, for an interpreter. The
Interpreter arrived, aud the ceremony
by his aid concluded. Alter which
Justice 2. gave his blessing, pocketed
his fee and the happy couple went on
their way rejoicing.
