hospitable welcome. They urged him
to come to dinner, but he had an en-

will you not eat a little luncheon 2"
The hostess pointed as she spoke to a
small table on which were small dish
of salad, some bread and fruit. "Well,

Marriage by Hitler.

Among ignorant people of English
birth it is fully believed that wife
bought with money or goods is legally
married if the purchaser leads her all
the way home by halter.
Mr.. Barring Gould, the English anti
quarian, tells of village poet known
to him who bought wife for half
crown and led her 12 miles to his cot

The squire and the rector protested
to the village poet that he was not
legally welded.
"Why, yes l be, he replied 'sI'n

the halter off till she'd crossed the door
