force for that purpose, its strength was
so great that it several times liber-

his hand of one of the t~entacles

held it firmly, so that it appeared
as if the limb wobld be torn asunder

FOOL MARRIAGES.
Some Awkward 0uestiOes Raised by a
Wisconsin Lawyer.
milwaukee. Wisconsin,

Milwaukee Wisconsin,
Relative to the event reported in
the Wisconsin Of last evening, under
the caption of Wired into Matri-
mony," a lawyer correspondent of the
Wisconsin Legal News writes to-day
as follows:
In the daily press appears an ac-
count of an alleged marriage, which is
supposed to have taken place Thurs
day evening. One of the contracting
parties and the officiating clergyman
were stationed in a telegraph Office in
Milwaukee, Wis, and the other party
to this "hasty marriage" was seated in
a telegraph office in Owatoma, MINI.
The bride and groom were very dis
tant from each other this is patent.
as the responses were communicated
by telegraph. Now, before it is too
late, will your readers who reside in
this State and Minnesota warn these
parties, if they are known to any of
them, that they are not yet very much
married?
First-Section 1881 of the Revised
Statutes provides hal an ordained
ministers authority to marry extends
only throughout the State" Conse-
quently, as the groom was in Mime
sofa, only the bride is really married.
Standardization 2335 provides that
the declarations of both the parties
shall be made in the presence of the
minister. Even by the aid Of the
telephone it would only have been in
his hearing.
Third-The same section provides
that there shall be at least two wit
nesses present beside the person per-
forming the ceremony. The Hon.
George w. Peck and DIR. Kaine were
on hand, osteusibly as witnesses, but
the most they could do was to kiss the
bride. How could they sign the ser
tlfcate Of marriage, as witnesses, When
they saw no one but the clergyman
and bride, unless they understood she
married the telegraph operator?
Fourth-Section 2336 declares that
the person solemnizing the marriage
shall give to each Of tho parties a GER
ti6cate specifying the time aud place
OF such marriage. What is the locus
in quo here?
Fifth-Suppose that either Of the
parties to this Edisoniau feat should
die before they see each other, what.
law of inheritance would apply?
Would the alleged wife, surviving,
have a dover interest in the lands Of
the deceased?
Sixth-SuppOse both should live.
but never meet each other, what would
be the status?
The cause is remanded for a new

1t is hard for a young mother, who
has not yet overcome the hayward
tendencies of her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she exerts over
her little ones. She is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators, who
copy her morals and her manners. As
the mother is, so are her sons and
daughters. If a family of children
are blessed with an intelligent mother.
who is dainty and refined in her man
ners, and who does not consider it
necessary to be one woman in the
drawing-roOm and an entirely different
person in everyday life, but who is
a true mother, and who is always a
tender, charming woman, you will
see her habits Of speech and her per-
feet manners repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy, busy BOYS
will always tone down their voices and
step quietly and try to be more man
nerly, when she stops to give them a
kind word and a pleasant smile-for a
true woman will never fail to say and
do all the kind, pleasant things she
can that will in any way help to lift up
and cheer those whose lives are shaded
with care and toll. The mother of
to-day rules the world of tomorrow.
Think OF it, dear sister, and guard
well your home treasures.
