Did the aroundhog Come Quit

Charles w. Bartram, OF Oregon, who
the Sentinel says, ''does considerable
trapping, and knows what he is talk
ing about,n seems bent on destroying
one of our pet and most antique
notions. lie declares, according to
the Sentinel, that "the grounding
never came out of his burrow at all
Monday, Feb. 2. He and Hugh Bur-
rier had a number of traps set at the
mouths of grounding burrows, but
marry a hog did they get. Hence
Charley says the grounding theory is
a myth-nothing in it-only the

WHY NOT A BRooMsTIcK BILL9
If Missouri is to Cheaper the Marriage
Ceremony, Let's Make 1t
Very Cheap.

A wave OF interest in things matri-
monial seems to be sweeping over the
Missouri State Legislature. First,
Colonel Crisp pro7os es to solve all the
knotty problems Of matrimonial in
felicity by coming as near as possible
10 the abolition of divorce, and now
Mr.. Smith, Of st. Louis, wishes to i'm
mortalize himself by qualifying 10000
lnotarles public to perform the mar
riage ceremony.
What is the matter with jumping
the broomstick? II men and women
are cutting out Of their life schemes
all pretenses toward the ideal, II we
are growing so commonplace and
prosaie that it means nothing but
expectancy TO any Of us 70 join hands
for veal or woe with another, why
waste time, even q minute Of time,over
the so-called ceremony A notice
inserted ID the "want adj page, in the
personal column, would concisely
and cheaply announce to the world at
large that a man and woman had
stepped with neatness and dispatch
over broomstick and 10 future Mrs
So-and-so, nee Miss What-you-may-
call-her, would be at home at No. A,
Tip-Top flats.
There would be just about as much
Isolemnity in this procedure, just about
as much sentiment and equally as
great an amount Of good form as in
the notary public scheme. Marriage
would be honored equally as much
and the parties ''incrlminated" |
was about to participating would
be as soulfully elevated. II we want
to make q Mother Goose opera bouffe
performance out Of what our misguid-
ed mothers and fathers considered
the holiest sacrament Of existence, let
US not stop at any pretense Of ceremo-
lny; let us gaily snatch moment from
''every cumbering care" jump the
broomstick, chanting
Needles and pins, needles and pins,
When a man marries, his troubles
begins,
and then go back to our knitting and
write "Mrs +" before our new name, II
we happen to be a woman.
BY all means, however, let the nota-
Try bill go through. Make marriage
easy, so that any old reprobate OF 60
can lead an infant Of IA to the nearest
callow youth or slmpering young
woman who has been duly qualified
as notary and have the few words said
that win not consecrate, but desc
crate, the alleged holy alliance. Let
the bill go through; how are we to
keep the record Of the divorce mill II
we put a few restrictions in the way of
marriage? Merrily, merrily, let 1t
grind. And IL the 10000 cannot sat-
isfy the demand for cheap and speedy
ceremonies, let Mr.. Jones Of some Of
the back counties introduce broom
lstick bill; that will fill this crying
lneed.
| And then--let us abolish our Portu
guese sonnets and expurgate all
allusion to married love in our litera-
ture and let us incarcerate in an
asylum the ones who cling to some old
traditions in which they fancy they
see abeyond the sunsets purple rim"
a ''new world which Is the old"-the
Holy Land of welded souls. Fran
