CHICAGO MANS NOVEL WOOING.
Lovers Engage to Marry Before
They Have Seen Each Other

JACKSON, O., Nov. 26-Claude NJ. San
ford, a real estate man living in Chicago,
and Miss Gladys Westlake, of Fernwood,
near this city. VIII be married tomorrow even
ing at the home Of the BRIDES parents. The
courtship of the young couple was probably
one of the most remarkable on record, they
having become engaged before they had. even
seen each other or even exchanged photo
graphs.
Miss Westlake,t ''just for the fun Of the
thing" inserted an advertisement in lead
ing Ohio paper for correspondent. 1t met
the eye Of Mr.. Sanford and he, too, thinking
to have a littleI fun answered it. reply
about a week. The correspondence was kept
UP In desultery way for some time and
then both persons seemed to have been
pierced by Cupidts dart and the letters
came thick and fast He requested her photo
graph, but was refused, and the first Of this
month proposed marriage and was accepted.
Last Saturday was the date set for meet
ing of the lovers. AS neither had seen the
other 1t was agreed that each should wear
yellow chrysanthemum, so that when Mr..
Sanford alightedo from the train there would
be no trouble about recognition.
After everything had been arranged 1t oc-
CURED to Mr.. Sanford that the whole thing
might prove to be hoax and to provide
against being made the butt OF the joke IN
case it should prove to be one he took his
colored porter along and had him wear the
flower on his coat. The negro was to alight
from the front end of the car and Mr.. San
ford from the rear. II the young lady, true
to her promise, was on the platform waiting
for him, Mr. Sanford intended to rush up
to her and explain why the negro was wear
ing the chrysanthemum.
When the train arrived at Fernwood the
negro and Mr.. Sanford alighted, the latter
in fever Of expectancy. He sauntered
leisurely up the platform, keeping sharp
lookout for young woman with chrysan-
themum pinned to her bosom. At last he
spied the object he sought, but, alas. it
adorned the figure of a comely colored wom-
an to whom his porter was talking in very
! interested manner. He was standing near a
bevy of young women, Illuminating on the
outcome of his romance, when he overheard
one Of the girls say:
GLADYS, what do you think of Mr.. San
| ford?" at the same time rglancing at the
porter.
Instantly 1t dawned on Mr.. Sanford that
| his bethrothed had adopted the same meth
| cd he had to prevent imposition, and so,
| stepping up to the young ladies, he intro
| duced himself to Miss Westlake. An intro
| duction to the rest Of the now blushing
| crowd followed by his sweetheart, and short
| ly afterward the merry crowd were being
| hastily driven IN the direction Of Fernwood.
| where a brilliant reception was given.
The colored porter and maid were even
more infatuated with one another than the
| other two, and though not part Of the
original programme Sunday evening Rev:
Lincoln Webster pronounced them man and
| wife.

fulness; qualification is not necessarily graft
tude. Our expressions of praise and graft
tude on Thanksgiving day are usually based
upon the fact that during the year we have
received so much OF what we wanted to re-
ceive, and Of what 1t was pleasant to receive.
We measure out SO much so-called gratitude
for so much pleasant experience. II this is
gratitude at all, 1t is gratitude Of very par
tial character. 1t does not come up to the
standard set forth by the apostle Giving
thanks always for all things" Almost
everybody gives thanks to God for something.
Very few of us give thanks to- God for every
thing. We generally take it upon ourselves
to decide what things worth thanking
God for so that what we call thankfulness
is often neither more nor less than grateful
selfishnesS
Whatever comes from God, in whatever
form 1t comes, is proper cause for thanks
giving But the difficulty for us is TO real
ize that the things that are unpleasant to us
may be even more truly for our good than
the things that we delight in. The spring of
believer can have no Thanksgiving day.
Thankfulness implies the conception of
bestoWer of gifts. How can man be
thankful to that which has no mind, or soul.
or heart or love? Gratitude springs out Of
falth and is pervaded by faith. To cease to
oelleVe is to cease to be grateful. A partial
Iaith is a partial gratitude. 1t is here the
trouble begins with US. We have very posi-
tive notions of what things are good for us,
ana, while we may not cease to pray, we
pray mostly that God may so modify and
oSAu MS VIII lndC II may Mt IN with ours.
ANYBODY can be good-natured and glad when
he Is having things his own way But is it
really worth while to believe in God at all
unless our faith rises to such a point of
trust that even when he seems to be disap-
pointing unreasonable and unkind, the faith
fuI soul can trust him still? We treat our
le!loWmen bad enough sometimes, but we are
1airer towards them as rule than we are
towards God. Faith gives us a broad view
OF life and life's meaning. Life is not to be
lived solely for the sake of the enjoyment to
pc round in 1t. Better never to have lived
than to live in the opinion that trial, sick
ness or misfortune are of no more value in
NE than a patch of thistles in a field of
wheat. Then we need to look at life in its
sum total We are in the habit of picking
life to pieces and centering our thoughts
upon its isolated fragments. Hence come
worry and ingratitude Single experiences
times.
