MARRIED At TEN.
A Late Wedding in the Country
Due to an Accident.

Few people in the world have the
good luck of being married at half
past ten o'clock at night, as David L.
Weaver and Jennie Gladys Kidd had
on Wednesday of last week. The
officiating clergyman was Rev. John
Sinclair and he is authority for the
statement that the unlocked for delay
of an hour and half, until the moon
had reached it's zenith in the heavens
and shown down in all its beauty, is
peculiarly predictive of life of love,
light and prosperity.
This is the way it happened: The
hour was fixed for 9 o'clock, but it was
the night of the high school commence
ment and the minister had to take
part in the opening exercises there.
He did not leave Redwood Falls till
half past eight and had ten miles to
drive after that. Not being very we'll
acquainted with the road he encount-
cred in the dark various sloughs,
which made him zigzag sufficiently to
kill two hours of time on the road.
When he got there the men were sit
ting on the doorsteps smoking up the
last of the cigars and eagerly listening
for the sound of horses hoffs; while
the ladies inside looked out from the
windows, some of them able to hear
their heart beats after the hour of ten
arrived.
A general sigh of relief was heard
when the carriage drove up, the men
threw away their cigar ends and made
strides for the parlor; the ladies deli
cately set back the fugitive hairs that
had been flying in the balmy breezes
of the evening and quickly joined the
men. Meantime the minister had
been conducted to the room where the
bride and groom and their attendants
were, and if there was a rehearsal it
could not have taken more than two
or three minutes for in that space of
time, the couple to be united, followed
by Miss Ella Hubbard and Roy
Weaver, the bridesmaid and grooms-
man, entered the marriage room.
There were about hundred people
present. From the foot of the stairs
to the oriel window, where the couple
were to stand, an open space had been
left which was closed in behind them
Immediately they passed. The bride,
who is only sweet sixteen, looked in
her marriage attire, prettier far then
a great majority of brides. Her dotted
Swiss dress, neatly trimmed with rib
bons to match and decorated with
white roses and ferns, was most be-
coming to her and gave her the ap-
pearance of the typical young princess
of which children are fond Of reading
about in fairy tales. She stood
modestly beside her handsomely
dressed betrothed, but seemed nervous
ly to desire that the words spoken by
the minister would bulk more largely
in quality than quantity. He did not
disappoint her for the words we're few
and we'll ordered.
The ceremony finished the guests
