Whore the Course Of True Love Did Not
Run Smoothly-Other Incidents.
There are some amusing incidents
in the routine of the county clerks
Office transactions. especially in the
marriage license department. Every
now and then love-sick youth, not
a half-dozen years ahead of short
trousers. applies for a permit to wed
the subject Of his boyish admiration.
and an occasional one becomes indig-
nant when informed that license to
enter the matrimonial estate cannot
be procured without parental sane
ton. Recently q Flushing youth
from the suburban district told the
clerk that he would like to get a per-
nit. He was 10 and his bride-to-be
"a teacher of q district school-20.
Asked for the written consent of his
parents. the young man produced a
piece of paper reading something like
this. and signed by his father: IL
hereby release all claim to my son.
He's big fellow now and old enough
to care for himself and probably an
other. He is now 10 years old and
can work alongside any man. But if
he gets married I will not be respon-
sible for any debts contracted by
him. Let him pay for his own goods,
etc. l had to do it. don't believe
in this business of supporting a
daughter-in-law, too"
The clerk fingered his mustache to
conceal an outburst of laughter and
then shook his head. The young
man looked pitiful and departed after
it was explained to him that his
father had not consented to the mar
riage in the note. He paused on the
court house step moment and pom.
dered and hustled off up the street.
He met an old friend and unraveled
his predicament. He was to have
been married that evening-and as he
pleaded for advice two large tears
trickled down his cheeks. A tele.
letter to the bride-to-be explaining
the circumstances was considered
the only alternative. The telegram
to the father simply read: "Come al
once" The young lady was told te
postpone the blowout. ETC., until the
next day. Next morning the farm
er boys father arrived all excitement
thinking from the telegram tha

Several days ago an uptown bust
nessman telephoned THE ARGUS 10
make the announcement that the en-
gagement between himself and lady
had been annulled. Such an an
nouncement without consulting the
second party was liable to create I'M
pleasantness and result in eternal
enmity between the two. who, it was
surmised, had disagreed on some
trivial question, so the petitioner
was induced to refrain from
publication. Then the young lady
and gentleman were interviewed as
to the occasion of the abrupt turn of
affairs. The lady claimed it wasn't
her fault, and the aggrieved young
man said it was-and thereby hangs
an interesting tale with an unfurtu-
nate termination. After four months
courtship last June the druggist let

words that he had been accumulating
for a couple of moons. and she re-
piled with that three-lettered word
which has SO much significance.
There on her front doorstep while the
moon made faces at the stars they
fixed the date at April, 1896. Cards
announcing the betrothal were sent
out to friends, and congratulations
on their happy determination were
received. In August the young lady
was presented with the wedding
ring. Once they had a misunder-
standing which threatened to break
up the engagement, but this was
smoothed over and happiness pre-
vailed again. But it was not to con-
tinue. One September day another
incident happened to mar their hap
piness. A letter from the lover was
received few days afterward that he
could never marry her. He also
asked for the return of the engage
ment ring. This nearly broke the
young lady's heart. She begged him
to consider, and explained that be

and declares that all is over between
them.

They have filtered out the life and
the nourishment.
This will never do.
You must not let it go on.
You must cure your kidneys and
maxi them filter your blood. This you
can do with DR.. Hobbs Sparagus

THE BRIDE AND GROOM.

The most elaborate decorations which
ingenuity could suggest and wealth
procure were to be seen at the church
and also at the Southern hotel. where
the entire second floor had been re-
served for the reception which followed
immediately after the wedding.
Long before the hour appointed for
the party to arrive at the church the
streets in the vicinity were packed with
people anxious to gain glimpse of the
bride and groom, and it was with great
difficulty that the police were able to
clear space sufficient to admit the
bridal party and invited guests. AS
the selected orchestra sounded the in
spring strains of the wedding march
from Lohengrin, the bridesmaids and
groomsmen formed in couples and
marched in stately measure down the
broad aisle of the church, Mr.. Won Con
tard escorting Mrs. Busch, mother of
the bride, and Adolphus Busch follow
ing with his daughter by his side. At
the altar the party formed in semi
circle and were met by Rev. DR.. Snyder.
The marriage ceremony was short and
ual of the Unitarian church. Rev. Dr.
Snyder first addressed few words to
the congregation, and then delivered q
short address of admonition to the
bridal couple. After brief prayer,
the customary questions were asked and
responded to. The marriage vows were
then offered and received, and the bride
and groom exchanged wedding rings,
in accordance with an old German GUS
tom. After pronouncing them man and
wife, Rev. DR.. Snyder closed the cere-
mony with a prayer and benediction.
Again following out a German custom,
the bridal kiss was given at the altar.
The party left the church to the musi-
cal strains of the bridal chorus from the
wedding festivities in Don Munio.
Immediately after the wedding the
bridal party and guests drove to the
Southern hotel, where reception was
held. Later in the evening, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gontard were escorted to the
Planters hotel, where bridal apart
ments had been secured. In few days
the newly-married couple Will leave for
| honeymoon tour of the continent, and
afterwards will take up their home in
Hagen, Westphalia, where the brides
father has presented her with resi-
dence costing over 100000.
The father of the bride gave the
caterers, decorators and florists carte
blanche i'll arranging for the wedding,
and it is estimated that ever 100000
were expended in preparing the church,
hotels and Busch residence for the af-
fair. The display of wedding presents
was the largest and costliest ever seen
in ST. Louis.
