Elndale Goes Is a Wedding

Elmdale Goes to a Wedding
Some time ago our teacher
attended her brothers. wedding.
This reminded me of the time,
long, long ago, when my broth
er asked me to attend his we'd
ding. OF course would, so |
thought for once ! would put
on style. There was only one
single buggy in the neighbour
hood and that had been shipped
from Oneida county, New York.
When | went to ask the owner
for it he was brushing it up,
and it looked so nice to me. He
didn't like very much to let it
go, but under the circumstances
he consented. only had one
horse that was broke single and
he was somewhat string-halty.
| hitched up, put both feet in
the buggy, and started for my
best girl. | had to go across
lots through some timber.
When | started | hoisted the
buggy top, and on reaching the
timber forgot to take it down.
Going under a big burr oak the
tree scraped a large hole in the
top and / knew enough then to
put it down. | was thinking
of what | should say to my
girl and forgot the buggy.
Well, we went about seven miles
to Beloit, Wis, and witnessed
the interesting ceremony.
When we got within a mile of
her home we had to cross Coon
Creek. There was a bridge and
ford, and as my horse needed
water l thought that would be
a good time to water him. |
just left off talking of woman's
rights when | went to go across.
The old horse drank all right
and then | started him up.
There was a mud hole on the
other side | had not noticed be-
fore. Old horse got in that.
He tried to get his hind leg, the
one that had the string-halt,
up. Well, it went up and
wouldn't come down, till over
he went, down on the thills,
broke them, and left us in the
middle of the stream. | man

when along came a team with

now if you would just as leave,

boosted her onto the hayrack

s s'' : re ls<n Il 4:

We met a man today who is
no doubt, the only one Of his
kind in the world. 1t was Ell
Terry, the marble man, who is
some fifty years old, and never
owned a dog or gun. A boy, as
a general thing, as his first ar
ticle, wants a dog-next a gun,
then a hammer and saw, then a
horse, and then a pair of red
topped boots and a watch; but to
find a man in this twentieth
century who never owned a dog
or gun is certainly curiosity.

We thought nothing new
could be derived in the way of
Bible criticism, but here is a
poser asked by a correspondent
of The New York Times: Gao
cording to the Bible, Methuse-
leh begat Lamech and lived
1872 years thereafter. Lamech
lived 1872 years and begat Noah.
Noah was 600 years old when
the flood occurred. Was Me-
thuselah drowned?" 1t is dis
tressing to contemplate the
discussion this will engender,
but no doubt there are many
who can clear up the mystery.
