in the nature of n surprise after the very

The minister had a sawmill, which oc-
cupied many OF his weekday hours, and he
was standing in the door of this sawmill
one bright September morning, when a horse
came along the road which wound down to
the mill. On the horse was a young man,
a member OF the minister's congregation, and
a pretty young woman from one OF the
neighboring villages.
The minister looked at them for a moment,
and then said cheerfully, Want to get mar

Yes replied the young man, with an
ingenious blush.
"Do you take this woman for your welded

Loved for Seventy Years.

A romance in real Ire Is TeNedleu ny lHe
death within a few hours of each other OF
two of ehe oldest and most important citizens
Of Quebec, Chevalier Louis de Gonzague
Baillairge and Mile. Julie Tessier, each of
them 81 years of age. They were near neigh
bors and nearly seventy years ago wee en-
gagged to be married. Both were wealthy
and belonged to leading Canadian families.
The lady was a sister to the late Judge Tes-
sier of the court of the queens bench, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Mr.. Baillairge received his title of cheva-
lier from the pope. For many years past he
had maintained four missionary churches,
one in each of the four quarters of the world,
besides contributing hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the construction of Roman
Catholic churches and converts In Quebec.
He was the owner of the famous Drapeau de
Carlton, the old flag for which the French
Canadian people have such a
reverence, from the fact that it was brought
back from the expedition Of 1858 to Lake
Champlain and Lake George.
Many years ago Mr.. Baillairge furnished q
handsome residence in st. Louis street,
which has never been occupied since. For
some reason, known only to the principals
in the affair, the marriage never took place.
The furnished house, with is antique ma
hogany cabinet ware and massive old silver,
has remained under lock and key for over
half a century. During all those years the
intimacy between the couple had lasted, and,
unless prevented by illness, the chevalier
had called daily upon the lady. A couple Of
weeks ago he called upon her without being
able to see her. She was i'll. He went home,
took to his bed and died. For some time
they kept the news from her. When she
heard of it she rapidly grew worse and
within a few hours followed her lifelong
friend and courtly admirer into the great
unknown.

Polish Rivals settle II Dispute with
Cnsh.

A queer incident in Polish courtship oc-
Cured in Hazelton, Pa, recently which
brought about the marriage of Stanley
Binoski to Mary Sepoliski. Mary Sepoliski
has been only three weeks in this country.
She was brought over here by Michael
Cokinski. who was her lover in the old coun-
try, and who intended to marry her at the
Polish church, the day being fixed for the
wedding. Cokinski rented a house on North
Wyoming street and furnished it to take his
bride to as soon as the marriage ceremony
was over. During Mary's little time in this
country she met Stanley Binoski, a good
looking young Pole. who was employed at
the Cranberry Colliery, and both became
fond of each other, a fact that was coon
made known to Cokinski. Mary desired to
be released from her engagement, but Co
kinski would not listen to 1t, as he had gone
to considerable expense in the matter. a
meeting of the rivals was held in Murees'
saloon, when Kokinski offered to sell his in
tended wife to Binoski for $3.50. Binoski
said that he did not have that amount, but
would give S212 for her, all the money he
had. The offer was accepted, the money paid
and the girl delivered 70 the purchaser.
There was a large crowd present when
Binoski and Mary were married.
