ding Bells.


Some folks think 1t is very easy
process getting married, but there are
two happy couples in Anaconda who
are convinced that " ever they get mar
ried again they will endeavor to make
arrangements which can be carried out
without a hitch, IL such thing be pos
sible IN wedding arrangements. For
some months past w. T.. Wolff, the ar
fist at the Elite studio, has been writ
ing burning letters of love to a sweet
heart way down in Tacoma, begging
her to name the happy day when she
his bride would be. His fiancee, Clara
Ambrose by name, took a woman's
time to think 1t over. and then she
had so much sewing to do, so many
things 10 pack. she really did not know
herself just when she could be ready
to say TO her lover, Come"
He was impatient. as would-be
grooms often are. and time was drag
ging by = Thanksgiving day his
thoughts were all of her who should be
when IT pleased her highness. his wife.
for when last she wrote she told him
that In her next letter she would set
the happy day.
Now 1t so happened that Miss Am
brose planned a pleasant surprise; said
she:
II just won't write a word to Will,
but I'll start so as to get TO Anaconda
Thanksgiving day. and he will have
not write him at all. but I'll telegraph
him when l get ON the way"
So with this well-laid romantic
scheme was carried out, the message
failed to reach Mr.. Wolff. and the lady
stepped to the Montana Union platform
but no expectant groom was there to
meet her. Agent Beebe calamity vol
unteered to assist her and, though II
was then nearly midnight, set out In
search OF Mr.. Wolff. He was not at
the gallery. They went to Mr.. Halves
and he solved the situation by taking
Miss Ambrose ID his own house, where
she remained. Mr.. Wolff, meantime II
was learned, was attending a dance In
the valley. and would not return until
morning.
There was a joyful meeting when. at
length. he came and he set out for Deer
Lodge then post haste to get the mar
riage license. He returned last even
ing. and the ceremony was performed
at The Presbyterian manse by Rev. G.
w Healy.
The other pair who found obstacles
In the pathway to welded bliss, was
John Moody and his chosen one, Miss
Ida Walker. Judge Fox was retained
to tie the knot. early in the week, and
the hour was set for Thanksgiving eve.
Judge Fox. however. went to Butte,
missed the train that was to bring him
home, and this was the first that went
wrong. That the magistrate was miss

and the bride and groom sat waiting
in Judge Fox's office. IL was even then
late. Something must be done and
the groom began to rustic.
After racing and chasing up
street and down he learned
that there was no such block
as the Peters block, but Judge
Kennedy's office was in the Petritz
block. When he went there he found
a notice on the door. Gone TO Deer

The groom FASTENED back TO the
Shields building, where he found his
bride chatting comfortably with Ben n

He wanted his bride to go along, but
she said he could go faster II he went
alone. John took the hint and almost
ran.
At length he returned. fairly carry
ing the Judge before him. The rest
was easy. The knot was tied, the
bride saluted and the groom congratu-
lated. Then Mr.. and Mrs. Moody
went their way A short trip to Butte
