WOOD As MARRIAGE FEE.
Parson Didn't Want II, but II Was
That or Nothinu.


Parson Brown presided over a Skow.
hogan church many years ago and he
counted on marriage fees as substan.
tial part OF his living. One day
Charles Il. a farmer, drove into the
village with a load of wood. On top
OF the load with him rode his sweet
heart. with whom he had been keeping
company" several years and who had
at last consented to become Mrs. L..
The load was driven into the parsons
yard, the horses hitched and the door
bell pulled. The ceremony was wit
messed by the parsons wife and sister.
In those days wood was selling at SIS
per ""rd. When the certificate was
made out and given to the bride the
groom asked where the wood should
be unloaded. The parson said he was
not In need OF any wood, as the parish
had attended to his comfort In that
way. The groom looked abashed for
a moment and then braced UP and
said:
Parish or no parish, haint got no
money. and that load OF wood is worth
double what you re entitled to; It's
all got and it's what you'll have to
take"
The parson took the wood.

Here lies her head on the lap OF earth
For the first time she rests since the
hour Of her birth.
Her forbears for ages were folk known
to fame.
And thus in her days she was daugh-
ter" and dame"
She belonged to twelve clubs and read
Horace at sight.
And served on the school board with
naughty delight.
At the meetings of mothers she always
appeared
To tell them how little ones all should be
reared.
She golfed and she kodsked and auto
modified,
And whenever II pleased her she turned
in and wheeled.
The luncheons and teas and functions
galore
which kept her all smiles made her hus-
band sore.
When shed nowhere to go, as she found
ono day.
She fell to the floor and died where she
lay.
And now. lies her head on the lap OF
earth.
For the first time she rests since the
hour of her birth

WIFE'S CHANGE OF NAME.
Custom OF Assuming Her Husban de
Is Lost In Obscurty.

Custom OF Assuming Her Hush and's
Is Lost In obscurity.
The custom which makes Ii proper
for the wife to assume the name OF
her husband at marriage Is involved
In much obscurity. A recent authori-
ty advances the opinion that It origi.
mated from a Roman custom and be-
came common after the Roman occu-
patton OF England. Thus, Julia and
Octavla. married to Pompey and Clce-
70, were called by the Romans Julia
OF Pompey and Octavia of Cicero, and
in later times the married women Of
most European countries signed their
names In the same way, but omitted
the of In spite of this theory 1t Is
fact that as late as the sixteenth
and the beginning of the seventeenth
century a Catherine Parr signed her
name without any change, though she
had been twice married. We also hear
OF Lady Jane Grey, not Dudley, and
Arabella Stuart, not Seymour. etc.
Some think that the custom originated
with the Scriptural idea that the bus-
band and wife are one. This was the
rule of law as far hack as 1868. and it
was decided in the case of Bon versus
Smith, in the reign of Elizabeth, that a
woman by marriage loses her former
name and legally receives the name
of her husband.

enormous quantity of matter. and sue

teen hours a day and diversifying his
labors within his daily round. He had
six tables In his library. He wrote
poetry at one. history at another, criti-
cism at third. and so on with the
other subjects upon which he was en-
gagged, and when he was tired OF spin

to- history and criticism. There Is a
story that he once described to Nine
