heart was J. R. Wampler, prosperous
farmer living near Big Rapids, Mich.
An exchange Of loving letters soon
eliminated in an engagement. 1t was
not convenient for him to come to
her, SO 1t was arranged for Miss Ma
linda to 60 to Michigan, and after they
had seen each other, If both parties
were pleased, marriage should follow.
Miss Malinda left for Michigan the

she wrote her friends here that on

OF all the eccentric weddings the
following is about the limit. Elek
Bijda Is a Hungarian who had turned
burglar. Miss Rosie Schwartz is q
German who had turned boarding
house keeper. One night when Miss
Rosie went to her room for the night
she found Elek under the bed. In
mediately there was hubbub, board
ers scurried about, policemen came,
and the unfortunate burglar was ar
rested. The next morning in police
court Miss Rosie looked at the burglar
two or three times and found that he
was handsome. She knew that he
was bold or he would not have invad-
ed her home. She also knew that he
was dashing. He had proved that when
he tried to get away after the alarm
had been raised. So, instead of prose-
cutting him, she decided to marry him.
There is scarcity Of detail to show
Just how this change in sentiment
came about, but the marriage license
proves that 1t did, When the prose-
cutting attorney suggested that he
ought to send out for rice, the magls-

for this, but he did his part by having

the burglar act as his best man at the
