The Boston Commonwealth learns of a

three times before they were
legally man and wife. Here's how il o.
CURED: They had an imposing church
wedding. A week later an intimate friend
of the bridegroom sought him out and
broke the news to him that he WAS not yet
"a married man. The officiating clergy
man belonged to another state and was
not legally authorized to perform the mar
riagc ceremony. The friend, however,
was equal to the occasion. He assured the
dismayed groom that he could set matters
all right being himself a Justice of the
peace. 'Come to me-" he said, land 1
will perform the ceremony i'm the simplest
possible n and nobody ever need
know of the unfortunate contretemps."
This advice commended itself tn their dis
erection, and again the bride and groom
presented themselves mt the altar, no to
say, and took the coveted vows OF COLI
stancy till death did them part: and went
their way. A communication soon reached
them from the Justice of the peace. Alas
he had bethou0ht himself that or theo o.
casion OF the second marriage he was out

ton heidi and he was distressed to he

they were no more married than before.
In desperation they struck q bee-line for
parts remote. sotight the highest ecclesi-
astic p~otentate available, and again took
the familiar vows.

One ~well-known peculiarly of Copnmo-
dore Vanderbilt. says the New York Her
aid, was his stubbornne~s-that is to say,
when he took occasion to he stubborn.
When he knew u thing he knew 10 and
that ended Il. Here In u little circumstances
illustrative of this pecullarity, which has
never been published: After the compile
ton of his steam yacht, i'm which he and
his family took n trip 20 Europe, and. by
the way, the pioneer trip i'm transatlantic
steam-yacht navigation, me WA advised tn
take n pilot on board till the yacht had
passed Sandy Hook.
"I1l he my own pilot" was his bluff way
OF settling IL.
There's danger Of running on a rock"
suggested the captain.
81 know every rock about this harbOr,''
insisted the commodore. "YOu steer Ms j
tell you and 10 will he all right"
The captain did steer AS he was direc-
ted. and sure enough the yacht struck n
piece of obstinacy delayed the voyage
several days and cost the commodore
several thousand dollars.
That's the only rock 1 didn't know
about" the commodore said afterward,
and with this positive knowledge On the
subject he was still unyiclding in the mat
ter of "a pilot. He acted as his own pilot
when the yacht made it's second start, and
Herr, IN another story told about the
conllnodorc which has never found it's
way into type: When the ferry boat
Staten Island only needed "a few finishing
touches the commodore told the painter
Ia put only the initials OF the boat ON the
wllccl-house. The painter did So.
moaiorc asked the painter, as he saw the
two initial letters, "not to know that st.
stands for Staten and not So"
Pursuant to the colnmodorc's orders the
required additional letter WAS affixed to
the first initial and the initials "St. L."
still remain on the boat.
