Early on a recent morning Lorenzo d.
Hickman, who gave his age as twenty
five and his home as Wichita, Kan, OBJ
tanned a license to marry Mrs. Emma
Hickman, widow who he said lived
with her parents in Vigo County, Ind,
and who was to meet him at the depot in
Kansas City. Then he secured the ser
vices of Justice Holt and drove to the
depot. He found that the train on which
his intended was to come was so late that
it would arrive just after the Santa Fe
train on which he desired to go out
would depart, and he begged the con-
ductor to keep the train waiting for few
moments. When the Wabash train ar
rived petite brunette jumped out of a
sleeper and in moment was in the young
mans arms. He hurried her to the rear
Pullman coach of the Santa Fe train, fol-
lowed by the porter with numerous bags
and bundles, made dash for the wait
ing-room, and soon reappeared with one
of Recorder Kinds deputies and Justice
Holt. A space was soon cleared in the
ladies' toilet-room of the car. The dep
uty recorder handed Justice Holt the Ii
cense, and hurriedly reading it he com
manded the two to clasp hands and re-
peated the formal ceremony pronouncing
them man and wife. Before the last
word was out of the Justices lips the
whistle sounded and the Santa Fe train
began to move out of the depot just three
minutes after the arrival of the Wabash.
The witnesses to the ceremony were Con
ductors A. N. McDougall, n. E. Garce-

newly married couple would say anything
about the matter, and when it was sug.

"Any man in Greece can be a candidate

"and when a man announces himself as a
candidate, the government must provide
n ballot box for him. If ten men an
noupce themselves as candidates for
Mayor, a separate box is set up for each
candidate and every voter must vote in
each of the ten boxes"
"Then each candidate would get the
same number of votes, l should think"
"'That is possible, hut l never knew it
to happen. Let me explain a little
further
''We vote with black and white balls.
Each ballot is divided into black and
a white compartment with funnel in
the middle. Every voter is given white
balls and black balls, and putting his
hand down in the funnel, drops them as
he chooses. A white ball is for and a
black ball against man. If the citizen
wishes TO vote for Mr.. A, and for him
only, he drops a white ball into his box
and black balls into the other nine there
are ten caudidates), or he can vote for
two of the candidatcs-or for the whole
ten if he chooses, his vote being really of
no account in that case, of course. The
man who has most white balls in his box
is elected. When two representatives are
to he elected, the man having the next
highest number of white balls gets the
second place, and so on"
