the Prator Coal and Timber Company, q
corporation chartered under the laws Of

BILE. as they are heavily tImbered with fine
marketable timber. They are said TO have
rich deposits of bituminous coal.

Funny Marriages.

Some funny stories are told about tie
marriage service. One ofthem relates
hoE en- old man, brought rather unwiIl-
ingly to the altar, could not be induced
to repeat the responses. My good man."
at length exclaimed the clergyman, Il
really cannot marry you unless you do as
You are told" But the man still remained
silent. At this unexpected hitch the
bride lost all patience with her future
spouse and burst out with, "Go on; you
old toot Say it after him Just the same
a. If you was mOckin' him." The same
difficulty occurred in another ease The
clergyman, after explaining what was
necessary and going over the responses
several times without the smalles; effect,
stopped in dismay, whereupOn the BRIDE
groom encouraged him with, SEQ ahead,
passin, go ahead thou IT doin' bravely."
Upon another occasion Il was, strangely
enough, the woman who could not be
prevailed upon 10 speak. When the
Clergy demonstrated with her she in
dign3ntly replied Your father married
me twice before, and he wasn't akin me
any Of them imperent questions at ALL
SattTdGy Rcgicir.

bic, who have returned from Chicago ::
Judge Pete, Colonel Ernest, Ex-Surgeon-
General Brown, Of the army, together
with members Of the Diplomatic Corps
and the Rev. DIR. Hamlin and Mrs Ham
lin, of the Church ofthe Covenant, which
President Harrison and his wife have
attended.
Hour after hour slipped away, each
leaving the patient weaker in turn yet
50 gradual was the decline that il could
not be said positively at any minute that
her condition had materially changed
The measure Of the ebbing tide was the
respiration. which slowly sank from
about Is at nightfal to p at midnight
The physician had said that if she tided
over that hour she might and probably
would survive until daylight. So fre-
quent glances were cast at the clock
which was steadily ticking away the life
time of the invalid and there was yisi-
ble air Of relief when the gong sounded
u, and one critical point was supposed to
have been passed.
The hope inspired by the doctors last
statement was only Of short duration.
About 1890 o'clock, while he sat by Mrs.
Harrison's side with nngsr lightly press-
ed to her pulse, his practieed hand n0tie-
ell that the hearts work was beginning TO
cease. He notified the griefstricken fam
lily grouped around the couch that the
end appeared to be very near, and that
unless she soon rallied from the stupor
into which she then was drifting she
could scarcely live half an hour longer
This intelligence had most depressing
effect upon the President, who had been
in constant attendance upon his afflicted
wife for over nine hours, and ne sustain
ed himself with the greatest difficulty.
Ifit were possible TO add to the grssi-
ty Of the situation and to stimulate the
agOnized apprehension Of the sorroWing
family gathered about the scarcely ami
mated form of the
BELOW I'd WIFE And NpfHEH-
The results were attained when DR..
Gardner, aftsr narrowly examining cOun-
tenanee and feeling the pulse Of the dy-
Ing woman, sOrrOwfnlly announced that
all the indications justified the beliefthst
she could not survive more than halfan
hour.
This wss at 1916 o'clock. The minutes
passed with friEhtful rspidity; the half
hour passed then came 1:40-and all
Wa1 oler.
Mrs. Harrison was dead.
