Iowa Couple Wed Each Other IN a
Lonely Corn Field.
Hopper aad His Sweetheart Made One
Under an Arch Made OF Hops.
Ceremony Under a Big
Oak Tree.

During the past year quite number
OF weddings have taken place which
are interesting from the fact that
they were performed in the open air.
Four weeks ago. for Instance 4 AIr.
Z. o. Rayburn and q Miss Bertha
Schwartz were married in a com
ield.
1t appears that the wedding was to
have taken place AT the brides home
who lived in Wayne county Ia. The
bridegroom was resident OF Lucas
county. On the eventful DAY he made
his way TO the brides home and ev-
erything was ready for the perform
anee Of the aIl-important ceremony
when, 10 his horror, the clergyman IN
formed him that he could not proceed.
as the license only permitted a mar
riage in his own county.
II was too late then 10 Tectify the
error, for the guests were assembled,
and a long distance lay between them
and the clerk Of Wayne county. Thanks
to the cool head Of the bride plan was
devised for getting over the difficulty.
She leo the way. with all the marriage
party and guests following her. across
the road into a cOrnfield which stood
in Lucas county. There. amid. the
corn sheaves, was performed one Of
the prettiest and most novel weddings
ever chrOuicIed.
California was once the scene Of a
unique wedding in the open. At the
close Of 4 successful hopping season
young hopper and his sweetheart
were duly made man and wife in the
same field in which they had previ-
ously gathered hops together. Over
200 hOp-pickcTs were present. \ large
van was engaged for the purpose, and
standing in this. under an arch formed
of hops, the happy couple were united
in the bonds of holy matrimony in the
presence Of the delighted and interest
ed spectators.

a decidedly original and unique
manner. Some two years ago when
his ship was stationed of Atlantic
City, on the Jersey coast, he fell
deeply in love with one Of the
charming girls of that town. When the
battIeship 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 10 sea, picturing no
doubt the stately vessel and her lover
as she did so.
The lieutenant was so struck with his
sweetheart's actions on his return that
he arranged for the wedding ceremony
TO be performed close to the spot where

Diving Makes Men Cross

A professional diver says that one
of the strange effects of diving IS the
invariabIe bad temper felt " lille work
ing at the bottom Of the sea. As this
usually passes away as soon as the
surface is reached, it Is probably due
TO the pressure Of the air affecting the
lungs, and through them the brain.
The exhilaration and good temper of
the mountain climber is a contrary
feeling, from an opposite cause.
