Mr.. Travers for three years and she had
10 refuse lots of offers TO 60 to the circns
with other young men. lhave wanted her
to get married 80 that could 60 and live
with her aud Mr.. Travers. When think
that II II hadn't been for q mistake |
made she would have been married yes-
terday, / find 1t dIeadfully hard to be
resigned. But we ought always to be- |
resigned to everything when we can't |
help II. Before | go any further | must |
tell about my printing press. 1t belonged |
to Tommy Mcilnnis, but he got tired OF
II and sold it to me real cheap. He WAS
going to write to the Young Ptoplss post
office box aud offer TO exchange 1t Tor a
bicy Gle, St. Bernard dog, and IL gOoo
books, but he finally let me have ~ Tor

another circus, so | sent to the city and

Mr.. Trsvers should be married without
waiting any longer. You should have

all day long. She was determined to be
married in church, and to have SIX
bridesmaids and Six bridegroOms, anu
flowers, and music, and things till you
couldn't rest. The only thing that
troubled her was making up hef mind
who to invite. Mother wantei to invite
Mr.. and Mrs. MoFadden ana the ssven
MoFadden girls; but sue said they had
insulted her, and she couldn't bear the
idea of asking the McFadden tribe

counted up all tine people she meant TO
invite and there were nearly $40 OF them.
You would hardly believe IL, bat she told
