First silver wedding.

kAccording to a historian, this Is the
way the first silver wedding came
about. 1t was In the time of Hughes
Caput. Two of his most faithful serv-
ants, q man and q woman, had grown
gray in his employ. How could he re-
ward them?
Calling the woman, he said: "Your
service is great, greater than the mans,
whose service is great enough, for the
woman always finds work harder than
q man, and therefore will give you a
reward. AT your age know of none
better than a dowry and a husband.
The dowsy IFS here. This farm from
This time forth belongs to you If this
man who has worked with you for FIVE
and twenty years is willing to marry

"Your majesty" said the old peasant.
show is 1t possible that we should mar
~, having already silver hairs?"
'Then it shall be a silver wedding"
And the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty.
Such was the origin of the silver
wedding, custom which, spreading all
through France, subsequently became
known to the world.

A lobster is found in the water, but
not always-in fact some of the most
successful Holsters that ever lobstered
were born and raised on dry land.
One can usually tell lobster by its
actions. For instance, If young man
enters a 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 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. 1t would
seem that a girl ought to know better
but she doesn't until she marries q
lobster. Then she tumbles.
HOLSTERS have no brains. If you
don't believe 1t, split Holsters head
