WHAT IT COSTS TO MARRY.
only Five Dollar Bill Is Necessary
to Defray the Expenses in
Most Places,

Marriage is one of the cheapest OF
luxurles it one reckons only the outlay
required for thepayment of the prea
er Or magistrate who performs the
ceremony and the cost of the license in
such states as require licenses. Any
minister, priest or preacher of the
Gospel in the United States may SOL
emnize marriages, and in many states
judges for one or more classes of
courts may oficiate. In all save half
a dozen states, too, justices of the
peace have the privilege of officiating
at the highly important function, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
In some parts of the United States
the person performing marriage GER
emory must have personal knowledge
of the identity, names and residence of
the parties, and inasmuch as such laws
are enforced in some of the western
states where. young people frequently
drive long distances to be married, the
stipulation has on occasion caused
more or less inconvenience. In most
of the states two witnesses are re-
quired to be present at the solemniza-
ton of marriage, although in some
states single witness is sufficient.
There is still in force in Pennsylvania
an old law which prescribes that -
witnesses shall be present, but this ex-
action is seldom if ever enforced. Per-
haps the strangest stipulation of all
is that which appears in the laws of
Tennessee, and is to the effect that the
validity of marriage shall be in no.
wise affected by the omission of the
baptismal name of either party in the
license and the use of a nickname in
stead, provided the parties can be iden-
titled. Any person conversant with
the conditions prevailing in the noun
tain districts of Tennessee will appre-
ciate the wisdom of this unique pro-
vlso.
Common supposition is to the effect
that the fee for performing the mar
riage ceremony is dependent entirely
upon the generosity Of the bridegroom,
and 1t will, doubtless, therefore, sur
prise many persons to learn that in
several states the law has hand in
the matter. In the Old Dominion, for
instance, there is q statute which pro-
vides that the person solemnizing a
marriage is entitled to a fee of one
dollar, and that 'any person exacting
a greater fee shall forfeit to the party
aggrieved $50" In West Virginia it is
stipulated that the fee be "at least
one dollar" and the Idaho law says
that ''the fee shall be five dollars, or
any other or greater sum voluntarily
given by the partiest TO such marriage"
In 16 states of the union a welded
couple may obtain more or less elab-
crate certificate of their marriage.

den by sage brush, several inches of
rusty iron. Blest be the passing team
ster who threw it there. I darted to-
ward it and turned on the RATHER,
armed with the goodly remains of a
frying pan.
''The creature was ready for me,
with darting tongue and fattened
head. Another instant and it would
have sprung. Smash on it's head went
my valiant frying pan and struck a
deadly blow. recaptured my weapon
and again it descended. The RATHER
was settled.
"But. oh, that tail! That awful,
writhing, flashing tail. can stand In
dams, bears, wolves, anything but that
tail; and RATHER is all tail except its
head. The snake was really helpless,
and put one foot on him to take his
scalp; that is to say, his rattles.
"Then. the uncanny thing began to
wriggle and rattle with |old-time vigor.
Horrid thrills coursed through me;
but, fortified by the assurance that the
existing rattle was a purely reflex
neuroganglionic movement I hard
ened my heart and captured the pod
of dried peas.'"

Harmony tn Color Scheme.

Women would do well to give much
thought'to color harmony and circum-
stances ratherathan style when choos-
ing house furnishings. Upon the har-
monious blending of wall and floor
covering, together with the woodwork,
depends much of the success of the
room; yet some woman, hearing that
red walls 'are the STYLE" and seeing
how effective soft shade Of it is with
the pure black Flemish oak, straight
way has it put on her walls to com
bine with yellow oak. How much bet
ter gobelin blue burlap or cartridge
paper would be! Then, too, often the
mistake is made of having everything
OF one color to match, thereby causing
monotony. Artistic decorators advo-
cate old rose in rugs and hangings as
g relieving contrasting bit to gobelin
blue walls and yellow oak woodwork.

sturdily. "And, after all, the old
place'll be right here. I amt a-goin'

near she had approached to disap-
pointment.
f. The interest in the new house, at
first simulated, soon became gen.
uine as the parents listened to Lett
tia's happy plans. By March their
wishes were we'll formulated, and on
a mild day that gave :treacherous
promise of spring, Letitia started for
the city to engage an architect. The
journey was short, and, in brief
time, she found herself whisked aloft
in an elevator and deposited at the
door of "R.> Ellsworth, Architect -
this particular person having been
recommended by a friend Of her ia
Their. Feeling somewhat nervous at
the magnitude of her undertaking,
Letitia timidly knocked. A chair
grated on the floor within and when
the door opened a young man, with
quiet bearing but alert glance, bowed
gravcly to her.
IT'S Mr.. Ellsworth within?" she
stammered. II would like to. see him
upon business" He stepped back to
allow her entrance, then bowed
courteously again. IT am Mr.. ELS

to advance toward middle-aged
man, busy with drafting tools in the
north window.
"Oh!" Letitia could not suppress
the exclamation; then flushed Grim
son. 'I-why, I expected an older
man," she said, helplessly, then was
doubly chagrined at her frankness.
A glimmer of mirth- appeared in the
young mans eyes; then, with quick
perception of what would set her
caller at her ease, let his amusement
have full sway. In moment Letitia
joined him and laughed until the
tears stood in her eyes.

sighed at length. "But it was the

KILLED A RATHER.
Mrs. Seton-ThOmpson Dispatched q
Venomous Reptile with a Rusty
Frying Pan.

Mrs. SetonTh ompson, in her camp
ing experiences entitled "a Woman
Tenderfoot," confesses that in the be-
ginning of her Rocky mountain life she
regarded rattlesnakes as only one kind
of disagreeable reptile. One day she
was riding in advance of her husband.
She says:
"suddenly, there came noise like
dried peas in pod, and gliding across
the road was huge rattlesnake.
Whiskers, my pony, performed flank
movement, SO nearly unseating me
that deemed it e1pedient to drop to
the ground; and Whiskers, without
waiting for orders, galloped down the
road.
THE RATHER stopped his pretty Gid
ing motion away from me and seemed
in doubt.

strike,' said I, recalling paragraph
from my school reader.

land in just, such$a PLACED" N
It was early in October that, at
last, they entered in and took pos
session. Letitia, full of rejoicing over
the wide windows, the hardwood
finish, the convenient closets, the
artistic coloring and charming vistas,
felt little sorrow as she denuded the
old house to make habitable the new.
But, to her father and mother, this
forsaking of walls hallowed by sad
and tender memories was filed with
unutterable regret And when the
key was turned upon the echoin 6
rooms, now no longer home, the old
people looked into each others eyes
for the comfort that neither could
give. ~-'.-t
Letitia futtered down the hill to
meet them. 1T is all ready, now"
she said, breathlessly, ''except the
hanging of few pictures! I'm so
glad there was enough money left
for the new carpets and hangings. It
has made it so much more beauti-
full" Laughing and chattering she
drew them from room to room, point
ing out each individual charm and
comfort, unheeding the obvious ef-
fort with which they tried to share
in her Joy.

tia murmured, one golden day, a

run down to the other house." the
girl thought, uneasily; and, throwing
a soft scarf about her head, hurried
along the road and past the orchard.
Turning the knob of the green door,
she found it locked, so slipped around
the side of the house, CHANGING in at
the window as she passed. Suddenly
she shrank back into the shelter Of
the lilacs, for in the dismantled liv-
ing-room she had discovered her
mother, crouched on the dusty floor,
forlornly gazing before her with sad,
unseeing eyes.
Part of the meaning of it flashed
into Letitia's mind To be sure. this
was the birthday of Serena-little
Serena, who died so many years ago,
but who yet lived in the mothers
heart. Letitia was touched, and longed
to reach her mother and comfort
her; yet all that she could do was

The Home and Happiness.

The diffusion of happiness is one of
the great primal laws of possessing
happiness ourselves. The home is
founded on this idea, and if it is not
recognized the home is not an ideal
one. The unity of the home depends
upon the unselfshness of every mem
Der, and the acceptance of the idea
that each will try to make the others
happy. In so doing we promote the
happiness Of ourselves through the in
direct method which to-day is accept
ed as the moral law of human love and
sympathy. In a broader sense this
altruism should prevail in society and
public life, but it must first be cult
waited in the home. Unless it finds
nourishment and encouragement
there it can never permeate the great
mass of humanity around.-N. Y.

Something Like a C0vey

Two old hunters were swapping
yarns and had got to quail.
"Why," said one, II remember a
year when quail were so thick that
you could get eight or ten at a shot
with rifle"
The other one sighed.
"What's the matter?" said the first.
Il was thinking OF my quail hunts.
I had fine black horse that I rode
everywhere, and one day out hunting
quail I saw big covey. Oh low
branch of a tree. I threw the bride
rein over the end of tn" limb and
took q shot. :
several birds fell and the rest flew
away. Well, sir, there were so many
quail on that limb thzt when they
flew off it sprang back into place and
hung my horse!"-Los Angeles Times.

OFFENSIVE BREATH.
Persons Afflicted with 1t Should Use
Some Simple Disinfectant
with Regularity.

There are many causes for bad
breath; in some cases it is occasioned
by the teeth, in others by disor-
dered stomach or catarrhal trouble,
again It is the result of diseased and
decaJ1ng lungs.
AS persons afflicted with bad breath
are themselves frequently unaware of
the fact, it is the duty of those with
whom they come in contact to call at
tentlon to the matter in as kindly
manner as possible. Where the dis
order comes from the teeth, the serv-
Ices of good dentist are necessary,
also some simple preparation for the
mouth. The following recipe is harm
less and good: One ounce of pow
dered borax, one ounce of precipitat-
ed chalk, one-fourth ounce of pow
dered myrrh and one-fourth ounce OF
powdered orris root. Charcoal is an
excellent remedy for feverish breath
and the Canadian snake root is also
very highly recommended; it imparts
a spicy aroma to the breath and
leaves pleasant taste in the mouth.
Needless to say the greatest cleanli-
ness in regard to the teeth and mouth
is indispensable. Many persons who
are most particular about brushing
their teeth after meals never think
of doing so before breakfast, and at
no time is it more important as vari-
Gus impurities gather in the mouth
at night. After cleaning the teeth in
the morning, wash the mouth with
weak borax water.
Where the offensive breath is
caused by some incurable disease the
person thus afflicted is deserving of
sympathy and consideration. Even
then some simple disinfectant should
be used.-Eliza R. Parker, in National

Children's Social Libert,e.

The social liberties of the Ameri.
can child are one of the evils of this
country. Children's dances and chill
dren's parties, once given in the after
noon, have intruded into the evening
and are sending thousands of our
children to their beds in a state of
excitement which means no good for
their future It stands to reason
that no child can, with his or her un-
formed strength, burn the candle at
both ends.-Ladies' Home journal.

Come home-Thanksgiving Day.

The voice from home will reach him,
And unto his heart will say:
ooh, don't forget the old folks!
Come home, Thanksgiving Day!'
But alas! the tender message
Fails to call some wanderers home.

Now their silent footsteps roam;
And all in vain our hearts send word
Across the unknown way:
