THEY WERE MARRIED.
But the Formula for the Ceremony
Was UnavOidably Absent.

Years ago there lived in a Massachu-
setts town a Justice of the Peace known
as Square" Simmonds, a man noted
for the shortness Of his memory. He
carried about with him a slip of paper
on which was written the brief mar
riage form which he used when called
upon to unite a pair in the bonds of
matrimony. He never trusted him.
self to begin the ceremony without
reference to this document.
One day at a county fair in a neigh
boring town he was approached by an
elderly couple, who expressed their
wish to be married then and there.
After some conversation the Square"
agreed to perform the ceremony on the
spot; and the three, accompanied by a
grown-up daughter of the man and a
sister of the prospective bride, stepped
into a convenient horseshed.
There the Square" began a fruitless
search for the important paper, grow
ing more and more perturbed as each
succeeding pocket played him false. AT
last he abandoned the search.
Are you willing to marry this wo-
man?" he asked the man, who replied
with a prompt Yes
And you want to marry him?" ask
ed the Justice, turning to the bride.

equal to the bridegroom's.

"Now, let me talk to that agent" said
the owner of a fine residence just off
Woodward avenue, to his wife. 1.-THE
trouble with you women is that you're
too easily persuaded. I'll use the fellow
we'll, for he's striving to make living,
but I'll get rid of him in short order. J"
The others left to give the head of the
household a clear deck, and soon he
was listening to the smoothly flowing
talk Of the agent. Here were pans that
retained all the juices of the meat or
fowl while baking it. This sad-iron put
a polish on starched linen and cut off
the expense of a laundry. Here was a
glue that would make broken furniture

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAC

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
the foot Of Mount Shasta, and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist. The eligibil-
ity of the place selected was due to a
rare combination of flowing water, in
spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
sumemr resort for health, recreation,
outdoor sports, sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
OF invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
TO avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
c1al journalism, and to realize this orig
mai conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag d1stinctively a family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health. recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
To this end rooms on the first and sec
ond floors of this splendid taxern with
board will be furnished at a monthly
rate Of 500 person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at a monthly
rate Of 500 a person.
The accommodations of the Tavern
are first class in every particular It's
parlorS and halls are elegant and spac-
louS. Its verandas are cool and invit-
ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
y
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting, fishing. riding, BIZ
cycling. walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads. The
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California &.
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento, thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. The train leaves
San Francisco at o'clock p. m arriv-
ing early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning. the
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton. Thus both in going and in com
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied. In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
ideal Of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the com
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.

An American Dictatorship.

TT NAV surprise many readers TO learn
that overtures were made TO Gehefdl
Scott by many Mexicans OF posllloh'
and by many American officers, to per-
roanentlv occupy Mexico and organize
a new government. The scheme pro-
nosed to General Scott was, in sub
stance this: 1t was supposed that upon
the conclusion of a treaty OF peace at
least three-f tbs of the Americana army
would be discharged, and that large
portion of the officers Woulu Ieslsh'
and. with many of the men, would en-
ter the new army of Mexico, ana
enough others could be recruited IN the
United States to make the American
contingent $4,000 strong, and TO TINS
might be added a like number OF MeXl-
can soldiers. With such an army 1t
was suggested that Mexico could be
held and governed in an orderly way,
and prosperity might be assured
The plan contemplated pronuncia-
mento. in which General Scott should
declare himself Distator OF the Repub-
lie for a term of five years or more, TO
give time for agitators to acquire pa
cific habits and to learn to govern
themselves and to respect an orderly
Government, where the rights OF prop
erty were not only respected, but fully
protected.
Already in possession of the forts, ar
senals, foundries, cities, mines and
ports of entry with nearly all the arms,
it was not doubted that a very general
acquiescence would follow.
Grant was invited to several con-
claves of officers, but from the first
emphatically declined to enter into the
plot He did not purpose to change his
allegiance or his service or his flag,
but meant, he said. to return with the
Fourth Regiment to the United States.
He had several reasons for this
The record-union., 1897-06-14

determination. He was essentially
conservative thinker and was endowed
with remarkably high sense of JUS
tice, and he had genuine contempt for
any adventure which had any flavor of
dishonesty or bad faith about it, and
he would not consider for a moment
the project Of placing an alien Govern
ment over Mexico while the nation was
dominated by superior force.
Had still another consideration been
needed to influence his course-as was
not the case hoWever-there was one
most persuasive consideration - his
prospective bride, awaiting his return
at White Haven home, near jefferson
Barracks Missouri.
General Scott declined to enter into
the plot, and it was finally abandoned.

"Does the great Street Railway

Does the department store

Does the working man in the

there has also been an upward
