to Washburn Sunday night, singing
softly Loves Sweet Song" There
was, however. a plant wall in tie
wording of his tale of love- and when
Judge Parish listened to the singer
he immediately turned loose the
power Of the state of Wisconsin to
make young Oos's sorg one,of tender
satisfaction instead of troubled
complaint. And the Judge made
Cos happy. indeed Cos was not the
only one that was made happy. for
of course there was fair maid at
the other end of the line, quietly
waiting the result Of the visit of her
lover to Judge Parish's court. Now
the two are married, and their
troubles they believe are over for
ever. They will continue to think
this for short time until it becomes
necessary to bump up against the
stern realities of life after the honey
moon is over, Cos ard the fair
one are now living on sugar and
honey. but they will likely get
around to the sodden biscuits some
time next week.
Cos was in strange preGicament.
Seven years ago he was married at
the age of eighteen to a woman of
twenty-five, who soon showed a dis
position to be wife and mother to
the young man. Things went fairly
well for two or three years when the
''lady's" family moved in on Cos,
and particularly obnoxious broth
erin law broke up the ill-advised
marriage The couple lived apart
for three or four years. and during
the past couple of years Cos has
been particularly sweet on a Mime
apOls girl. Last June divorce be-
tween the Oos's was secured in the
circuit court at Hayward After
the legal decree had been entered
Cos proposed matrimony to his new
sweetheart and was accepted. Cos
is baggage man and bright young
fellow, and travels between Mime
apols and Council Bluffs, on the
Omaha. He has a week s vacat ion
once year, but it was extended for
ten days owing to the very important
event that was about to occur in
Oos's life. Cos got off Sunday morn
ing and was to have been married
Tuesday. Last week he. applied to
the authorities in Minneapolis for
marriage licence and found that ow--
ing to his divorce he could not secure
the licence for year. Then he con-
suited an attorney, who told him to 90
to Hudson, where he could undoubt-
edly get the license. At Hudson he
was informed by the county clerk
that no license could be issued, as
the necessary year had not elapsed
after the signing of the divorce.
However the clerk accepted an ap-
plcation with the underst landing
after lawyers had again been con-
suited, that in case the necessary
court consent was obtained before
the five days were up, that a license
would be issued. Tuesday was
wedding day. Luckily court was in
session here Monday. Sunday night
Cos arrived in Washburn. Monday
morning he had an attorney. An
application was rapidly drawn up,
the matter explained in detail to
Judge Parish, who signed the order
permitting Cos to remarry. Monday
afternoon the young man took the
train, with his legal documents safely
guarded in his inside pocket. for
Minneapolis. The rest can be easily
guessed at. Tuesday morning a
couple of lovers took train out of
Minneapolis for Hudson. the old
time ''gretna- green" for Twin City
lovers. A brief ceremony followed,
aud now Cos and his fair b eide, for
merly Miss Vivian Touraine, are now
on a pleasant little trip. They have
their home all furnished and ready
for occupancy in Minneapolis, and
will be at home meath the bower of
love and as happy as turtle doves,
