After Judson had left me and gone

like girl who had been deserted by
her sweetheart on the eve of marriage
But I had too much to do to think
about it.
First, I called on my friend, Miss
Minnie Cresap, and told her that
wanted her to act as my bridesmaid.
She consented at once, and we arranged
to meet at the Humansville telephone
Office on the following morning. Then I
called on the pastor, who was to be at
my end Of the wire, so that there
should be no possibility of a misun-
.derstanding. He was the Rev. W. f.
Yeager, of the First M. E. church. The
next morning the pastor and my
bridesmaid drove to the telephone Of
flee in closed carriage. The neighbors
had heard of the telephone marriage,
and the windows of the houses leading
to the Office were filled with heads to
see US drive up.
when 1 got to the telephone, Mr..
Yeager placed a chair for me opposite
one Of the three receivers that had
been placed together in the office. and

Judson answered at his, and the minis

and so the knot was tied hard and fast.
Twenty-Five miles seemed a long
distance to be separated from ones

come to me as quickly as the train could
bring him. We waited in the telephone
Office until he burst In, the first to kiss
me. He had the ring with him. and
the ring and the kiss were all that we
needed to make the marriage ceremony

it had been performed IN a cathedral

train for Bolivar. I was met at Boil
var by J. Mckee, who took US to the
recorders Office, where we secured a
license. Then we hunted up q min
lister and found one who was willing
to perform a marriage service by tele-
phone. He was the Rev. G. H. Casper,
pastor Of the First M E. church. When
we had got him to promise to meet us
at the phone the following morning.
we went to bed.
Next morning, my wedding day, I
dressed in my best clothes and met
the wedding party at the telephone
station. 1 called up the telephone Of
fee at Humansville and heard Flora's
voice answer hello" 1t was an odd
wedding morning day greeting. I ask
ed her how she was and she answered
perfectly well and-yery happy" Then
the minister at my end of the line,
Rev. Mr.. Casper, read the license to
the minister at the other end, and they
had a quiet little ministerial chat to-
gether, asking about members Of each
others flock, and so on.
But 1 wanted the ceremony to be-
gin, and so I cut in on their CONVEX
Sation when / could do so without risk
of offending them, and asked them to
begin the marriage service. At our
three receivers and transmitters were
the minister, my best man and myself.
