HAD TO GIVE N
a Delaware Marriage Formally That
Struck Terror to One bridegroom.

Struck Terror to One bridegroom.
To get married seems an easy thing
to the young man whose fancy lightly
comes to the actual ceremony there are
. thousand and one terrors which sur.
zound and threaten to overcome him.
Marriage in some states is easy. IN
others it is difficult as obtaining a d.
vorce.
A well known Philadelphian was
about to be married to a beautiful
young woman who lived in the state of
Delaware. He had no idea that the mar
riage laws Of that state were of an ap-
palling nature. He had secured his Ii
n and thought that was all that was
necessary.
Have you filed your bond YETI" said
some one to him the day before the we'd
ding.
WHAT gasped he.
"Your bond, " repeated the question
er. "You know every man who is mar
ried in this state has to file a bond for
the protection of the state"
Nv IbCSloolu was IdLIltT uuDIOuS,
but was finally persuaded that this was
q fact.
I'm see a lawyer about it in the
morning, said he. So he went to q
friend, who was a legal light, and said:
"See here. They tell me / have to
give a bond to the state when ! get
married"
Certainly. Haven't you done sop
in a surprised way.
"No; / never heard of such q thing
before. What kind Of bond is it?"
"Oh, any real estate will do"
"But l haven't any real estate"
The lawyer looked at him a moment.
Then he solemnly said:
Haven't you any friends who own
property"
None that I care to ask to bind it
up that way. / can't ask my brides
relatives. you know"
His friend looked at him pityingly.
"You can't postpone the wedding, can
your"
"What?' fairly shrieked the unfor-
tunate.
"Of course, of course not, /" said the
legal light s%oothingly. But the poor
bridegroom looked stricken.
"Ill tell you what I'll do, old man.
I'll tend to the matter for you. Don't
give yourself any more concern about
it"
The young man about to be married
grasped his hand. He could not speak
for a moment, and then he poured forth
his thanks. He picked up his hat in a
relieved sort of way and walked to the
door. Then he turned.
by the way, l forgot to ask you how
large is the amount of the bond re-
quired?"
Fifty CENTS" said the lawyer

Abraham Lincoln, after being a mem
Der Of congress, desired to secure a clerk
ship in Washington, but he was defeat
ed by Justin Butterfeld. He was disap-
pointed, but had he not been defeated
ne would have spent his life in obscur-
lty instead of becoming president of the
United States.
Oliver Cromwell was once ON board a
ship bound for America, but he was
taken back by aconstable, and the re-
suit was that he became one of the
greatest men England ever knew.
Ulysses Grant would not have been a

SOUTHERf OREGON MINES.
G W. Davis, a Califsrnis mining
man wis has been quietly inspect
ing the southern Oregon geld
district with a view to investment,
has been in Portland where he
was interviewed by an Orsgonian
reporter. He believes that IL sapi-
tai were Invested in building

proving the transportation fscili-
ties, ssathera Oregon might soon
lead the wOrld in gold production.
He is Of the opini~a that many
fine prospects, which are really
worthless to their present owners,
might be developed int paying
properties il placed in proper
hands and backed by sufficient
capital. Many of these prospects,
Mr.. Davis statas, are in such out
of-ths way places that Thousands Of
dollars must be expended or reads
before the proper ssrt Of Develop
ing machinery caa be kaslsd in.
Then another outlay of capital
must be made before the investor
