Elral Silver Wedding.

According TO historian, this Is the
way the first silver wedding came
about. 1t was In the time OF Hugues
Caput. Two OF his most faithful serv-
ants, man and n woman, had grown
gray In his employ. How could he re-
ward them?
Calling tle woman, he said: Your
service Is great. greater than the mans,
whose service Is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
man. and therefore will give you "A
reward. At your age know OF none
better than dowry and n husband.
The dowry Is here. This farm from
this time forth belongs 10 you. If this
man who has worked with you for five
ana twenty years Is willing 10 marry
you, then the husband is ready"
"Your majesty" said the old peasant,
"how is it possible that we should mar
ry, having already silver hairsW
"Thcn 1t shall be silver wedding"
And the king gave the couple silver
enough 10 keep them i'm plenty.
Such was the origin of the silver
wedding. n custom which, spreading all
through France, subsequently became
known TO the world.

A lobster is found I'm the water. but
not always fact, some OF the most
successful Holsters that ever lobstercd
were born and raised on dry land.
one can usually tell lobster by It's
actions. For instance. IL "A young man
enters n crowded drawing room and
walks all over the feet of the assem-
bled guests without their consent or
approval the young man at once be
comes a lobster
The fathers of Holsters usually have
money. In fact, it is difficult To be a
real stand up and fall down lobster
unless the Holsters father has money.
1t is an odd fact that many girls
seem TO admire Holsters. II would
seem that a girl ought to know better.
but she doesn't until she marrles a
lobster. Then she tumbles.
