Ihere is an interesting romance con
necied with the marriage in Chicago
Staturaay OF Miss Sarah zeunen, of that
ettys and l.. ID. Katson, of Brainerd.
Mimi. according to the Chicago Chron-
fcle That paper yesterday said:
From Halsted street to the river and
from twelfth street to the unavoidable
river again the Seventh ward was
bursting with Happiness yesterday over
Ihe favorable termination of a. romance
that has held the interest of the Eey-
aenth waEders since Brenner was elect
ted alderman last spring. It 10 the story
or the hearts OF Miss Sarah Zeunen and
i. D. KRtson. She was a Seventh ward
belle, though she counted but eighteen
years Now she is a wife in q little
town near Brainerd Mimi. where Kat
son has taken her. Their ;ceurtship,
which came about In q singular man
'ner, ended yesterday in Milwaukee.
MI. katson. being arrived at that
estate where he might with ali Itru-
edence take unto himself a wife, cast
his eye over the Minnesota upland and
saw not one dwelling where a maiden
dwet. The nearest town, too he ran
sacked and found none fancy free.
Long days Of anxious pondering
brought to him an idea. Katson got an
egg, sat himself down and wrote Close
violet ink on the pink-hushed shell Of
the egg, but when all was done this
might be read in a good light:
ITO the woman into whose hands
this may fail: am q bachelor, young
gDnd-looking and with money in the
bank, and / desire wife. Will you
have me? i live on my farm here
where am prosperous and have a
steady income. The money in the hank
is enough to secure me and mine
against want in two bad seasons, and
j am of a loving disposition. This is
the only meth@d / have of reaching
good housewife. L. d. Katson, p. o.,
BraineEd, Mimi"
In case of eggs he placed his love
message. The eXpresSHnan shot the
case athwadst his car, and the drayman
dropped 1t kerplunk on the sidewalk
of the commission house, but the eggs
broke not. The GAMBLER took time to
smile and think of things far away
when the tender words met his eye,
The great stream of commerce, with its
dozens of radiating branches, seized
the egg and carried 1T to the little
uff-the- -main-road store sbf Mrs. Levin
sen, at Maxwell street and Newberr,y
avenue. Her daughter, Nina Gliekmaa,
girl-like, sseized ON the love message.
Her friends and she laughed over it
and told brave stories of letters they
write. Among them Sarah Zeunen,
who lived just south of the little groc-
who iliNed just south of the little gro
cry, sent a photograph and a letter
came things of every day to L. d.
l&atson on the Minnesota prairie and
the little girl in 3stuffy Newberry ave-
nue. The fall brought to Katson
thoughts Gf the long winter and its
lonesome stretches of unchanging days
and nights, and he sent, by express
this time, sparkling ring. Tt was not
returned, and when the beginning OF
the snow season was upon him Katson
urged the framing of the day. He came
to Chicago to secure it, and Mr.. and
Mrs. .Zeunen, ignorant of the long and
loving correspondence, were surprised
to see a Strange young man call eli
Sarah. He came twice and then Wah-
ished, so they thought no more about
it,
But Friday Sarah whispered a secret
in the ears of her girl friends and that
night she left su6denly for Milwaukee,
Each friend to whom things had been
whispered bought a bushel OF eggs,
and the surprise party that gathered
at the Northwestern depot carried Miss
Zeunen by STERN. What she will do
with ali the. eggs is "a problem In
household economy out in Brainerd
Miss Zeunen reached milwaukee, ana
her lowers arms In good time. And So
they were married, and If they follow
the precedents in such sases they will
live happily ever afterward.
