1t will require $25O,O0O to finish a
suitable pedestal for tho colossal Bar

representing this statue of liberty, the

The story of New York clergyman
who was in the act of admiring 500
gold piece which he had received for
marriage fee when Il messenger from
the groom arrived to exchange il for
smaller bill reminds n correspondent
of an incident in the clerical experience
of the Rev. Christopher Corey, OF La
Grange county, Ind. Several years
ago, on a very cold day, that excellent
man rode on horseback a distance Of
six miles to perform marriage cere-
mony. AS he was about starting for
home, having duly authorized the two
hearts to beat as one, coin was plac-
ed in his hand. He dropped it into his
pocket and rode away. When he got
home he looked at it, and 10! it was an
old-fashioned cent. The next morning
the groom appeared at his door, and ,
having explained with considerable
| embarrassment how the annoying
mistake had been made, took back the
cent and handed the clergyman a quar-
| ter.

Jack Simpson, who was recently convicted
in the District court for theft, was sent to the
poor house to work. That, to prisoner who
objects to stay there, is almost equivalent to
giving him his lib riy. because there is no
adequate provision made for the care Of
prisoners. As a result Simpson is missing,
and County Judge Mason offers SIS reward to
any one who will arrest him, and return him
to the poor house, so that he can-escape
agaiu.

and the groom went away a short time
before, stating that he wished to don
another suit of clothes. The time for
the ceremonies arrived, but the groom
DID not appear. The bride grew anx.

things and wondered at the delay.
Finally scouts we're sent out. The

lief that, Ia the excess Of his happi-
ness, the would-be husband had I'm
bibed too freely Of the oil OF Joy, but
the guardians Of the peace had not
seen him. After considerable time
spent In search he was found and
brought to the house. Matters began
to look brighter, and Immediate
preparations were made to complete
the marriage. But it was not to be,
for the groom discovered that he hal
forgotten his marriage license. Again
he started on a run to procure THU
passport to his future happiness, with
which he returned after some delay,
