Marriage Ceremony.

Marriage Ceremony.
dispatch to the New York Journal
from vancouver B. c., says: This story
OF how dead lover forbade the bans,
worthy as it is of the Imagination of a Poe,
comes from the wild region of mountain
and lake which forms the interior of Bri-
fish Columbia
Maud Cranston, whose home was at
Kootenay Lake, had to choose between two
wooers. Of these R. A. Carson was rich
and unromantic, while James Carter was
poor, but in all respects a STRIPPING to en-
gage maiden's fancy. There were other
considerations, however, and Maud Grams
ton chose the rich sutton.
You shall not marry him. said Carter
to her, when he heard that the date was
fixed.
Floods came. The river broke from its
banks. The clergyman was exiled on his
ranch Such of the wedding guests as had
been able to reach the brides home la
mented with her over the disappointment
And James Carter, who was Just starting
on lonely trip down the river, greatly
changed in few weeks said:
1T Is an Ill omen. They will never
marry"
Perhaps it was because she heard of this
gloomy prognostication that Miss Gran
would reach the clergyman, since he could
not reach them.
day or two later they embarked, ac-
cordingiy, on the steamer Kokanee, which
would pass the minister's place on its way
to Bonner's Ferry. He was sighted cling
ing to the roof of his house, which was
submerged to the caves. A boat from the
steamer was rowed through the swirling
water that covered his crops and he was
rescued.
Carson and Miss Cranston appealed to
him to marry them at once. and he went to
the cabin to put on change of clothing
proffered him by Captain Newman. While
he was. thus engaged the boat stopped at
Rios Landing Here a coffin-a plain pine
box-was carried on board
In it, said the gossips, was the body of
a young man who had been drowned, now
sent wandering in search of Christian
burial
Maud Cranston was already in an over
wrought state from many adventures and
brooding over the strange words of her re-
jected sweetheart. When the coffin was
propped on deck-for there was no other
place for it-she became more agitated
than ever and more anxious to have the
ceremony performed at once. But when
the minister reappeared and saw the coffin
he thought that wedding would be out
of place in such close quarters with death.
Only because there were fears for the girls
self-conmand did he prepare to fulfill his
word.
A look of relief crept into Maud Gran
stons face as the ceremony went on. But
before it had reached the decisive stage
two dogs chained near the coffin fell to
fighting and overturned the two kegs on
which it rested. AS it tumbled to the deck
the lid few off and out rolled the body, al
most at the feet of the half-married pair.
1t was James Carter. his eyes wide open
and his hair still damp upon his forehead
Only for an instant did the girl he had
loved endure the agony of looking at ms
white face, for consciousness mercifully
left her and she fell in swoon by his side

HI. c. Payne's Views of Monetary Leg
isiatfon by Next Congress-


Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin, who at
committee. makes a statement that I'm his
opinion a bill will be formulated at the
coming session of Congress that viii place
the United States upon a gold standard
basis. His statement is as follows:
ut is my judgment. after being in CONSUL
tation with the Senate finance committee
members at the meeting at the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel, New York, that a plan for the
revision of our monetary system that will
be satisfactory. not only to the Senate but
to the House as well, win finally be approx
ed, and that that plan will be formulated
into a bill which will become a law
What viii that law provide? IL will
provide for placing the United States upon
q gold standard. 1t viii be eminently sat
isfactory to the gold standard men and the
friends OF sound money. II win be salts
factory in Its provisions even to me, and
ard advocate as there is, in this section at
least.
Il base this opinion upon what know of
the situation. OF course. no formal action
Of the Senate committee has been taken.
but from expressions of members 1 have
no hesitancy in saying that this monetary
reform legislation will be brought about.
1t is certainly legislation that is needed.
and that fact is fully realized by those who
have the matter under consideration.
with regard to the talk of a special
session Of Congress I would say that ! do
not believe that there win be a special ses-
sion unless there should be some develop
ments in the Philippine situation that
would require action by Congress at date
earlier than the regular session. Person.
ally / had thought that an extra session
might be called for about November L.
