The Widow Carried Her Point with the
Minister.
Jim Wedder was shiftless, no ac-
count, worthless poor white trash spec
linen, and how the Widow Settlers ever
took notion to marry him none of her
friends could explain. But take the
notion she did, and she proceeded to
execute it at her earliest opportunity.
Jim never looked so spruce in his life
as he did on his wedding day, and it
was all the widows doings, but every
one knew that appearances were de-
ceptive, and that Jim would have re-
lapse before very long. There wasn't
a hitch in the entire business, and the
outlook was fine, until the preacher
who was marrying them came to that
part of the service which refers to ''for
richer or poorer and he was address,
ing himself to the widow at the time.
whats that, mister?'' she inter-
rupted suddenly.
For richer or poorer "the minister
repeated sonorously.
well, just knock off half of that,
will you?" she said commandingly.
I'm willin' to subscribe to the richer
part, but I'll be pleggoned eff I'll have
a thing to do with him eff he gifts any
po'rer. Goodness knows he's so pore
now, nobody but me nd dare to reslx

Liberal Peers Are Scarce and 1t Was Be-

It is another instance of the paucity

bestowed the vacant Garter on a liberal

one to which Lord Lansdowne was on
his merits well entitled.
The order consists of fifty knights.
Of these twenty-five are royalties, in
Guiding our own princes and number
of the continental emperors and kings
and royal dukes. The other twenty
five are English noblemen.
The late Earl Grey and the late earl
of Derby both belonged to the order
