A good story is being told of n Penn
sylvania preacher. One Sunday after.
noon q couple called at the parsonage
and in broken English inquired. 50 the
reverend gentleman understood, if the
preacher man. lived there. And, on
being invited in they commenced pre-
pairing their toilet OF course it was
supposed they had come to be married
and every assistance was given by the
preacher and good wife in getting
ready for the ceremony. The bridal
veil and wreath were carefully ad-
justed by the lady, and the gentleman
carefully combed his hair. Then their
nands were joined and the SOLEMN
words were spoken which bind
humans together in wedlock.
The ceremony over, of course It wAs
supposed the newly-married coupis
would be in haste to depart But it
was not SO with them, and by theig
actions they betrayed that they ex.
Pected something else before leaving.
Finally the reverend gentleman re-
marked. "Well, now yon nare@arrieA. On
and the answer came. 'Oh, yss, -
