The home was beautifully deco

Mrs. J. Il. Niesley sang "Protesta-

ceremony.
Following congratulations came a
delectable wedding supper served In
the new cottage home Of the bride
and groom just completed next door.
1t is beautiful and artistic dwelling
and is ready to be furnished for the
happy couple. The large and valuable
collection OF gifts from admiring
friends was here and testified to the
esteem in which the bride and groom
are held. Hilton and Kiethley's or

sweet tones serving as an invitation
to the new home.
Both bride and groom have spent
all their lives in this city and county
and are highly esteemed by all. The
bride has been a teacher in the city |
schools and is admired and beloved
by all for her sweet ways. The
groom is bookkeeper for the Seelye
Medicine Co., and fills that RESPONSE

under such pleasant auspices. They
are sensibly spending the honeymoon
in their own home and the hearty
good wishes extended to them bid
fair to be fully realized.

IAN some av thin I see,

Some millionaires-we'll call no names
has so much surplus wealth
That it has preyed upon their minds,
and much impaired their health;
They have tn noble wish to die lik'
paupers, so it's said,
But, do We moind, they scramble FIR

They spint tn spring-time av their
lives in hot pursuit av wealth;
An while they strove to win tn race,
old age crept on be stealth;
They passed the milestones wan by

They won tn race an wealth is theirs,
but youth lis left behind
9TH sugar is not half so sweet as
twas whin they was young,
An jist tn faintest scint of wine viii

They have tn wealth they coveted
within they was naught but boys,
But, wit it all, they've found no peace,
no happiness, no joys.
AN now they say they'll spind their
wealth before their days are
done.
So whin they die they will have reach
ed tn place where they begun;
But though they leave no wealth be-
hind, their gold has made name,
FIR they have etched their autographs
on ivry dome av fame.
Eye ask me if they are sincere? 1
think they must be SO,
FIR afther death they'll need no wealth,
no matter where they go;
They have enough to serve their wants,
so long as they're on earth,
An whin they die, no wan will ask
how much tn corpse is worth.
"Th' papers may have told tn truth
about the millionaires:
Too much av gold perhaps begets
multitude av cares;
But tits not thrue that nanny men

TIL most av thin are strugglin' to in

An tits but right that ivry man should
