as the promoter and which united in mar

Walker, 10 whom he paid the usual attention
a schoolboy tenders his best girl. Nothing
was thought of the matter until Stratton
suggested TO his father that he might some
day get married. Then he was told that
his attentions to the Walker girl must cease
at once. The couple decided to get mar
ried, irrespective of the wishes of the
grooms parents. The girl thought an
clopement would be romantic, and with
young Stratton, accompanied by Mrs
Walker, the trio went 20 the residence of
the Rev. John MacIachlan, leading Pres
byterian minister of this city, who married
them. Mrs. Walker says she did not at
tempt TO conceal their ages, but gave the
true dates. The school authorities declare
that the bride, being under 10, must attend
school under the Compulsory Education
law until she reaches that age.
