a decidedly original and unique
manner. Some two years ago when
his ship was stationed off Atlantic
City, on the Jersey coast, he fell
deeply in love with one of the
charming girls of that town. When the
battleship steamed away the girl
watched its departure from a flagstaff
on a nearby promontory, and almost
weekly afterwards climbed the steep
cliff and looked out to sea, picturing no
doubt the stately vessel and her lover
as she did so.
The lieutenant was so struck with has
Sweetheart's actions on his return that
he arranged for the wedding ceremony
to be performed close to the spot where
his bride had been in the habit of gaZ-
ing out to sea and from where she
waved the ship good-by. Under the tall
pole from which waved the stars and
stripes, and in full view of the Atlantic
ocean, the marriage was conducted in
the presence of a large and picturesque
audience.
Equally pretty was the wedding con-
Quoted by DR.. Edward Everett Hale,
who not so very long ago united a
couple in the presence of 100 persons in
a wood near Boston. The ceremony
was conducted under an immense oak
tree. from a branch of which hung a
marriage bell of field daisies. The we'd
ding breakfast was afterwards served
in picnic fashion on the ground.
The most curious of all open-air we'd
dtngs probably was that performed on
one of the steamers on Lake Michigan
some 70 months ago. The captain OF
the vessel not only decided 70 marry
the woman of his choice on the deck Of
the steamer. but that the ceremony
should take place at midnight, and un-
der the broad canopy of the heavens,
upon the waters of the great lake, this
strange and romantic couple were duly
made man and wife.

FORTUNE ON BUSHES.
Truly Marvellous Phase of the Won
derfuI Nebraska Crops of the
Present Season.

The fairy tale of money growing on
bushes was realized this week along
the right of way of the Burlington rail
road between Hyannis and Alliance,
Neb.
A gang of section men were at work
when one of them noticed something
that looked like a bill waving from
the tangled top of a sunfower growing
by the roadside. He investigated. 1t
was a treasury note for ten dollars.
He walked few steps further, and
there, nOdding from a branch of a bit
of dog fenneI, was another bill of sim
liar denomination.
He called TO his companions and the
entire gang threw down their tools
and started on a money hunt. For

three hours they searched up and down
the right of way and far aield.
At almost every yard their trouble
was rewarded by finding either a five
or ten-dollar bill. Some bills were
tangled in the tops of weeds, others
half hidden in bushes along the fence,
and still others in the stubble of the
field.
The entire days cleanup of the eight
was $2.135. When the find was report
ed, word came from headquarters that
a money pouch containing $500 had
been lost from an express shipment the
day before.
The supposition is that the bag fell
out of the open car door and was
ground to pieces under the wheels and
the contents were scattered 10 the
winds. This hypothesis is supported
by the later discovery of portions of
the damaged pouch.
