WASHINGTON, June Id have
enough money to keep myself and wife

Such was the theme of letter received
by Mr.. Kendig, of Capitol Hill, early one

thought they could wait a while before
getting married. One afternoon Mr.. Mo-
sier called to see Miss Kendig, and the
pair left Ostensibly to take a walk, but
they did not return and the
family was somewhat alarmed
about it. The mystery was cleared
up the next morning when a postal card
from the young lady announced that she
had married Mr.. Mosier the evening be-
fore in Baltimore and that they were
going West 10 enjoy life. This was sup
plemented by the letter from the groom
announcing that he had six months
supply of funds.
All the parties are we'll known and
popular in society circles here, and con-
siderable amusement has been created by
the escapade, as there was no seri-
Gus opposition, except on account
of the youth OF the parties. There
was no irate father in the case,

Mosier has had tendency to make one,
