wedding Eccentric1ties

Invention has to be taxed in order
to provide something entirely new for
wedding festivities, if one really de-
sires to be- original; but that there
are minds adapted to that task, may
be guessed from the following real
occurrence: a couple in one of the
New England states had recently an
ambition to begin their married life
under decorative circumstances. The
ordinary devices were too old. So, in
stead of a floral bell, there was to be
seen above the happy pair the bor-
rowed legend: United we stand.-
The quotation has not yet been fin
ished. Still later comes another anec-
dote. equally true, which seems to
embody the moderp. spirit Two hap
Ply young persons, named, perhaps,
Harriet Corson and John Games, stood
up to be married. Above her head
was an elaborate, floral device, with
her name in small electric lights.
Above the bridegroom appeared a
similar decoration. save that it was
his name that sparkled there. All
through the ceremony the lights
burned brilliantly. but at the words,
II pronounce you man and wife,"
Harriet Corson" was turned off,

of figuring how the republicans can lose

shoulders to the wheel and are not i'm

the success of the ticket. The price OF
the victory will be much harder and more

publicans should make the same kind OF

INTERESTING DECISION.
United States Supreme Court Knocks Gu,
State Law Compelling Trains to Stop
at County Seat Towns.

Washington, May In the SUI.
preme court Monday an opinion was
handed down in the case of the Big
Four railroad VS.. the state of Hi.
nois. The case involved the constitu.
tionality of the state law of Illinois
requiring all trains to stop at county
seats in the state and the proceeding
originated in the form of petition
for d writ of mandamus to compel the
Knickerbocker special running be,
tween New York and st. Louis to stor
at all county seat stations. The case
was decided in favor of the state by
the Illinois supreme court, but
Mondays opinion reversed that iudg
ment on the ground that the law in
this case is direct and unnecessary
burden on interstate commerce.

topic for discussion at the morning

work" In a paper by Rev. DIR. George
A. Post, professor of surgery in the

We believe that the first aim OF med

Medical missions are the pioneers OF evan

other branch of evangelical work is pos

therefore, has immediate and welcome
access to vast numbers who neither wish
