Justice Married Himself

Justice of the Peace Henry Bundy,
of Jersey City, recently married Mrs.
Mary Becker, and the ceremony was
performed before a mirror. The
bridegroom officiated as the minis
ter, and, looking in the glass, asked
the usual questions OF his own refiec-
ton, and answered them himself.
Then he pronounced the couple man
and wife, kissed the bride twice, once
for the justice, and once for the
groom, and then started on his honey
moon trip.

was suggested to the continental con-
gress by the provincial assembly of
New York, and on the 9th of October,
1775, the former directed the latter to
proceed to make such Notifications as
it should deem best. In pursuance Of
these directions, says the Four-Track
News, number of forts were erected
at various points. In March following,
it was determined to erect a strong
fort at West Point, and under direc-
ton of Kosciusko, the famous Pole,
Fort Clinton was built To further
defend Fort Clinton and command the
river, strong fort was erected Oh
Mount Independence and called Fort
Putnam in honor of Gen. Israel Put
nam, commander of the post. After
the revolution the old fort was al
most destroyed by people in the
neighborhood using the material for
building purposes, but in 1924, the gov
eminent bought the land on which it
stood, and the picturesque ruins of the
old fort remain to this day, as one of
the most attractive spots about West
Point.

For the next half an hour algebra
held the floor. Ted gradually ceased
the desperate pulling at his hair, and
smOothed out his brows.
That's BETTER" he said at last.
Guess l can get it now. Much obliged,
sis. You're a cherub." And he gave
her back hair an affectionate rumple
by way of thanks.
Then mother, coming in for a mo-
ment's chat, must be told all about the
day at school-must give her counsel
as to the management of this or that
refractory pupil, her sympathy with
each trial of patience or temper, her
hint of the way to strengthen weak
places in the armor of the girls self
control. And when mother went away
again to set the bread and Madge, re-
turning to her book, had just resumed
that first absorbing chapter father
laid down his paper and polished his
glasses-the usual preliminaries to the
query:
"Who wants a game of chess with
me?"
Madge said nothing. She did not
want a game of chess, and she was
really anxious to read that book, so
that she might return it to Anne. But
when the question was repeated in
slightly disappointed tone, and she
glanced up to see him peering over the
gold rims at her, since Sarah had gone
upstairs, she put down her book and
went to get the chessboard.
There was silence in the room, bro
ken by an occasional cheerful whistle
from Ted, as another lesson book was
added to the pile of those conquered
for tomorrow, or by Check, check
to your sorbed players"
"Checkmate!' cried the father at
last. you fought pretty well, but I've
got you, Missy"
Never mind" she replied, 'I'll have
my revenge some day. I'd have it now,
if it wasn't too late to play another
game"
Then the clock was given it's even
ing winding, the good-nights were
said and the family trooped upstairs.
And as she slowly prepared for bed,
Madge wished rebelliously that she
might have read that book; that she
had strength of mind or selfshness to
refuse the claims made on her time by
her family; that there were no six
hours of teaching to dread tomorrow.
Il would like to be free" she muir
INJURED, impatiently thinking of the
words passed on the road between
Anne and herself. Then her eyes soft
ened as she looked at Sarahs round,
flushed face on the pillow; and, bend
ing, she kissed her sleeping sister, with
kiss meant for all the family.

fully, Il DON'T don't. The price
would be too high to pay"
And so the tired bond-slave fell
asleep, with her head close to the tum-
bled yellow curls of her sister.

The free woman, meanwhile, drove
to her boarding house, tied her horses,
ran up the steps, let herself in with the
latchkey, and telephoned to the sta
BILE for man to come and get the cart.
The dining room was deserted when
she entered. A maid with disap-
proval of such irregular hours written
on every line of her face, and even in
aggressive stiffness of her white cap
and apron, brought in Anne's supper,
and Anne mischievously prolonged her
eating of it to the greatest possible
extent. on account of that very disap.
proyal.
But all things must end, even long
drawn-out dinner; and Anne finally
found herself in her room, with the
evening before her. She turned over
the new books on the ia BILE. They were
new books, but she had read them all.

She sat through the remaining four
acts, although they bored her, being
but indifferently played; then she
called cab and went home.
The house was quiet, its inmates
nearly all in bed. She wandered about
her room, mentally reviewing her past
days. A hour at the club-such non

as she looked from her pretty room
over the lighted streets. "Well, there's

CROSS COUNTRY ONE OF
FINEST BARS IN THE WEST

II is perhaps not generally known
that Rock Island has one of the finest
barrooms in the west. but such is the
case. In the Cross Country Buffet
built and equipped by the Rock Is
land Brewing company at the east
of the Illinois theatre and opened on
the 18th of the present month under
tibet management of Otto Patting.
there is one of the highest cXempli-
fications of the art or the builder and
furnishcr To be found in this or any
other city.
One of the features of the estab-
lishment and the one that may he
taken by those who see Il only from
the outside as indicative of the char
actcr of the interior, is the magnifi-
cent figured plate glass front The
lower portion is etched in an in
tricate design and the glass is there

cessity for a screen of any sort *

ed anywhere and no others have so
far been installed west of Chicago.
The bar and its fixtures at
the left. the tall panels that sur
round the room on all sides, the fur
niture and even the partitions are of
solid mahogany polished to a kings
taste. The large mirrors back of the
bar are divided by four large carved
pilasters supporting a heavy entab-
laturc all of solid mahogany. The
floor IL gray tile the entire length of
the room. The walls are a deep red

is of an intricate design in stucco
work colored in light tints. The di-
mcnSions Of the room are so by 20

bar is set apart with q solid partition
and contains closets and storage
rooms. Richness of design and har-
mony of colurs pervail in every dc
tail. but convenience is not sacrificed.
In fact it is impossible to conceive
of a more striking combination of
beauty and utility than is found in
the Cross Country Buffet.

Officials of the Burlington railroad
have started Il campaign against in

their use by employees of every de-
partment. not only on duty, but also
while off duty.
Heretofore the stringent rule
against the use of liquor while on
duty has only been enforced rigidly
against those who had anything to
do with the operation of trains. Here
after the rule will be enforced against
the employees of all departments, in
Guiding even the track, bridge and
building departments. Members of
these departments upon receiving
their new books of rules were surpris-
ed To read the following rule:
The use of intoXicants by employees
while on duty * prohibited. Their
habitual use or the frequenting of
places where they are sold is sufTi-
cient cause for Dismissal
Employees of these departments
work great deal in the cold and suf-
fer continual exposure. and many of
them have been in the habit of occa-
sionalIy taking Il drink as n means Of
protection against the cold or rain.

Immense Cost of Car wheels.

The Burlington spends AN immense
amount of money every year for car
wheels. On the 5000 miles of railroad
operated by the burlington 10000 new
car wheels are used a year. At least
5000, 900 wheels are in service under
the various passenger. freight. way
cars. locomotives and other rolling
stock of the road.
The purchasing OF the car wheels
involves sums considerably greater
than most people imagine. The pur-
chascs are made in the most careful
way. Inspectors are on hand and in
spcct every wheel before they are ac-
cepted by the road. If there is a flaw
noticed i'm any they are rejected. The
east iron wheels are sold to the rail
road with guarantee. According To

in Amite county continues at an
acute stage. The whitecappers, other
wise known as the farmers club, -
remain steadfast in the declaration
that the negro should not be allowed to
own land. and as a consequence many
negroes are moving out of the county,
while labor agents from other coun-
ties, and some sections of Louisiana
are offering extra inducements for the
negro families TO move to their re-
spective localities. 1t appears that
the hostile element in Amite county
does not want to get rid of the negro
but desire to improve illegally restric-

rid of their labor without desiring to
do so. Considerable feeling has been
engendered over the matter, and the
